believe in fostering it bit regardless OF the
strong probability that he'll be recantlng IN
his next editorial utterance.
Speaking at the progress OF government
work in Alaska. John says:
The sole object that is evident in the
present course is to tap the government,
owned coal fields for the benefit OF the navy
This is good sample OF government owner

Worst Blow

Among the wounded in recent fight
ing at the Dardanelles is Captain
Josiah Wedgwood. How serious is in
jury is has not been reported. The
greatest loss which war inflicts on
any country is the destruction Of men
who, but for war, would be engaged
in freeing their country from evils
worse than any that war can avert !.
Josiah Wedgwood was for years en-
gagged in the fight to free England
from it's worst enemy, Land Monopoly,
and not even the stress and strain Of
physical warfare has blinded him to
the real danger against which his
countrymen should be fighting. He
makes this clear in an interview re-
ported by H. P. Boynton, the Cleve-
land newspaper man, as follows:

Immediately. But imagine our sur
prise when we were told by the Cape
well Co. that no matter what wages
were paid by their competitors, they
would not grant any increase in wages.
That is the reason for the strike, as
there was nothing else to do, every
effort having been made to reach an
alnicable settlement and every propo-
