ANXIETY AMONG
p. . OFFICIALS GROWS Y
.'.. ON CARlB NEWS

Washington, Feb. 25.-Proposals
have been made informally by the
United States to England and Ger
many, suggesting a basis for under
standing on the subject Of foodstuffs
for the civilian population of the bel
ligerent countries; and the submarine
arfare against merchantmen. These
proposals have been guarded with the
utmost secrecy, and officials are reluc-
tant to discuss them because of the
delicacy of the negotiations.
simultaneously with the revelation
that a new move has been made by
Washington, came dispatches telling
of the blowing up Of the second Amer
lean vessel, the Carib, near the Ger
man coast, an incident which increas-
ed the anxiety Of the officials, and
their desire for an early understand
ing with the belligerents. The wreck
of the Evelyn is viewed by Wilson as
a tragic accident, due to the possible
failure of the captain to heed tho
German admiralty's instructions re-
specting the location of mine fields.
The officials believe the Carib dis.
aster is of similar nature. The pro-
posals to the belligerents are of far
reaching Importance. They constitute
what is described as informal inQuir.
ies," which frequently, if acceptable
become formal.

Board Of Regents Carries.
The board of regents bill was re-
ported in by the committee with
few minor amendments and recon-
mended to pass. More amendments
were made on the floor Of the house.
The salary of the secretary Of the
board is raised to $4,000 per year and
the appointments are to be made
March instead of February ~ as at
first contemplated. There are five
members of the board, one to be ap-
pointed from each congressional dis
trict and two at large but no three
from counties where educational in
situations are located. Inquiry among
a number of house members develops
the fact that there will be no opposi-
ton to these amendments and it will
probably be up to the governor for
signature in few days.

SOCIAL FUNCTION WAS

Rulings on Gambling.

The ruling of Des Moines judge
that the pool hall custom Of making
the loser pay for games is gambling
is good news to poor players. Also
it means that sleek, luxurious experts
will have to get to work and help pay
for their fun.
But is every meddling judge is 60.
ing to take the anti-gambling law lit.
orally where will it all end? Bust
ness is a gamble, weather is a gamble,
marriage is gamble, sausage is a
gamble and life itself is a gamble. To
lose at the game is bad enough. To
be punished for playing the game
amounts to a tardy prohibition against
being born. s;>

An Irishman who had prospered

An Irishman who had prospered in
America, resolved to go back to the
old sod. He sold out his possessions
and sailed for Ireland. But on his
arrival things seemed to have chang
ed. The grass seemed less green
than he remembered it as child
and the method in vogue there seem
ed to him far behind the times. He
tried to get used to it, but he could
not and sailed back to America. AS
the vessel came in sight of the statue
of Liberty Enlightening the World
in New York harbor, Pat was on
deck, and, as the ship approached
the statue, he took off his hat, bow
ed politely and said: Good morn
ing, yer majesty! And if you ever
see my face again you'll have to
turn around"

small pox. Clerk Goodin of the ways
and means committee is also in the
pest house suffering with the same

both been in the senate chamber up
to within a few hours Of the time
they were sent to the pest house.
There is no means Of telling as yet
how many others may come down, but
most of the members are somewhat
worried. The doctors are doing a
wholesale business at vaccinating.
Esther Talcott, daughter of the war
den of the penitentiary is suffering
from conclusion of the brain as the
result of being thrown from buggy
in which she was driving. 1t appears
that the animal became frightened at
motorcycle approaching and, turning
sharply, threw Miss Talcott to the
ground. She was taken to her home
and the attending physician states
that she is in no danger. Charles
Olson, an inmate of the pen, who was
in the cart with Miss Talcott, suffered
severe bruises about the head and
body and it was at first thought he
would lose the sight of an eye, but
later Developments are that he will
come out without serious injuries.

A BEBEL ANECDOTE

Misunderstanding the time of the
Socialist laws-was in Dresden as a
deputy of the Landtag, he noticed one
day that he was being watched by a
member of the secret police, who fol-
lowed him through several streets.
Bebel racked his brain to devise a
way to rid himself of his undesirable
companion. Finally he entered a
butcher shop and bought sausage,
which he wrapped up in such way
that the end of it showed. Then he
crossed his arms behind his back and
held the sausage behind him with the
exposed end in full view, so that II
looked as if he were trying to entlce
some cur to follow him. He then
started on his way again, with the
policeman after him. At first the lat
ter noticed nothing. But when the
people on the street became aware OF
the comical situation and one or two
passersby had laughed out loud, even
the detective finally realized the
righteousness of his actions. AT the
next corner he turned and vanished
into a cafe, where he hoped to tlnd
something to cool his cheeks flushed
with embarrassment.

SCORE ORGANIZED CHARITY

SPOKANE.-Organized charity OPP
poses mothers pensions and has found
way to hamstring this legislation
was the charge made by Judge Henry
Neil, of Chicago, in speech to
churchmen in this city. Judge Neil
is known as the originator of mothers
pension law He said
"In New York, Illinois, Minnesota
and nearly all the other mothers pen
sion states, organized charity has in
duced the legislatures to prevent de
serted mothers getting pensions on
the plea that pensions to such mothers
would increase desertions.
at is we'll demonstrated fact that
charity gets most of its funds by ap-
peals based on the restitution and suf-
fering of innocent children, so if all
poor children were taken care of by
the mothers pension system, publicly
administered, there would be little
suffering left.
Now, when a mother and her chill
dren are deserted, organized charity
sends out begging letters telling of
their great distress and asking rich
people to send money to help relieve
the distress, deploring the fact that
these mothers cannot get a pension,
when charity itself went to the legis-
lature and prevented her getting a
pension.
Surely charity does not claim that
it provides the same amount as the
pensions, for then there would be no
reason for charity preventing the des-
titute deserted mother and her chill
dren getting the pension, except to get
the IS per cent rake-off l ask, why
pauperize the deserted mother? Will
some expert please answer why?"

PROGRESS ON ROADS
2716 Men Employed

Reports to the state highway de-
partment show 2716 men now employ.
ed on state road work in addition to
the number employed on permanent
highway work which is approximately
the same.
A financial statement prepared for
State Highway Commissioner William
R. Roy, shows 100000 worth of work
has been done up to September l on
state roads this year, and a like
amount on permanent highways. APP
proximately S1,000000 worth of state
road work was planned for this year.
OF the state road workers, approx
mately 1000 are working directly for
the state under force account. At the
honor camp in Coberly canyon, Doug
las county, 100 convicts are being
used. The remainder of the state road
workers are the private employees of
contractors.
The number of men now at work
on the state roads is undoubtedly larg-
er, state officials say, than has been
employed at any previous time. Work
is under way on 81 differnt jobs, the
number of each job ranging from 10
to $50.

PRAISE COLORADO DECISION

CHICAGO.-The Tribune of this
city editorially applauds the Colorado
supreme courts order debarring Judge
Hillyer from further consideration of
strike cases. The Tribune says:
IF property rights are not regarded
in Colorado, they would be less SO if
confidence in the courts were weak
ened. If violence were substituted for
orderly process, it would be more so
substituted if it were proved that cap,
ital could command even the judiciary
IF it be the intent to break down
all restraints which protect a man in
the possession of his own, no better
way to go about it could be imagined
than to give an unfair trial to men
who have fought against conditions
they do not like"

Thirty per cent of these injuries can
be prevented. Five hundred thousand
workers are suffering from some oc-
cupational disease, while 100000 are
in poor health through some indus
trial cause"

who used their authority to break the
Bayonne strike and forced these work
ers to accept conditions by Standard
Oil. Methods resorted to by employ
ers and public officials in the Roose-
veil strike were also condemned and
the convention declared
The cry Of overworked and under
pair workmen shall not be drowned
in the hiss of bullets fired by hired
gunner in the guise of deputy sher-
ifs"

WOrldof Labor ewsfrom Everywhere
HOW UNIONS HELP
IN MILWAUKEE,

Milwaukee labor organizations have
very practical education
al system. AT the suggestion of the
Trades Council the affiliated locals
have arranged a special order at their
to hear lectures from the
Socialist members of the legislature,
who enlighten the unions regarding
the methods that obtain in the gen.
eral assembly. 1t is shown how bills
calculated to benefit the working class
are regarded and treated by so-called
servants of the people," how they
are railroaded to hostile committees
kept in pigeonhoes as long as pos
sible, and finally amended out of shape
or defeated outright The Milwaukee
unionists are being put wise to the
fact that their city doesn't really COM
prise the whole state, and that they
must cooperate with the union people
in smaller towns in securing stronger
organizations and urge them to also
elect Socialists to the Legislature, in
stead of machine politics controlled
by corporations, and thus secure more
help to force through the labor bills.
Much is going to result from these
lectures in arousing the workers.
