at every opportunity tnar onereu he
loosed his shafts of humor, to the
chagrin and embarrassment of their
targets, Sooner or later the stinger
gets stung, however, and this chronic
pun-artist was no exception to the
rule
IN one occasion, when about two
days out from port, he approached
group of soldiers who were swab.
bing the forward deck, and, singing
out a big, raw-boned Irish recruit who
was experiencing his first taste of
sailors life, he gravely asked:
"Can you steer the mainmast down
the forecastle stairs?"

Yes, sor, | can, If you will stand

President Wilson has found it
necessary to appeal to American
shippers not to ship contraband
goods with non contraband goods
III shipments to European coun-
tries. This practice of American
shippers has been one of the en-

Great Britain against search OF

Congress has decreed that the

test was over the selection of speak

nominated his opponent, and he

The trial of Robert Brooks at
Wheeler, charged with the murder
of VIM. Menzle and Blanch Signal
at Geades some time ago, came to
q sudden and abrupt end last Sat-
urday. The judge instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict of ac-
quittal, which was done and the
accused set free. 1t is reported
that another indictment is still
pending against him and he may
be brought to trial again. 1t must
be admitted that the evidence put
up by the state was not very con-
vincing and that the court WAS
probably justified in its decision.
While the evidence was purely cir
cumstantial and not strong enough
to convict, it was however strong
enough to cause grave suspicion of
guilt, and to leave no doubt that
he is a disreputa BILE character. 1t
is therefore no credit to the town
Of Geddes that on the return of
Brooks to that place he was hearth
ly congratulated by a large numb.
or of sympathising friends.

APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to

NtSCHlioH OF FupilC TO
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
t1ves, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ticulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the Co
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
the country lace a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
trong presentation of the candle
9urning at both ends and the periIs
hat must ultimately attend such a
confagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as
yell as through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gem
eral theory of governmental regula-
tlon, but on the other hand, no in-
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement OF plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part.
You ask me to call the attention
ofstIe country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
| am glad to do SO because think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them The man
with the money is factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.

The market place mas always been
favorite stand for war revenue col
lectors. The trader is great finan-
cial patriot. His dollar is the first to
rally around the star-spangled banner
and the last to hear the COO of the
dove Of peace. He is called upon to
buy cannon; to feed and clothe the
boys in blue and each month cheer
their hearts with the coin of the
realm. Men can neither be free nor
brave without food and ammunition,
and money is as important factor
in war as blood. Many monuments
have been erected in honor of heroes
slain in battles, poems have been writ
ten eulogizing their noble deeds and
the nation honors it's soldiers while
they live and places a monument upon
their graves when they die, but very
little has been said of the dollar that
bears the burdens of war.
Honor to the Dollar that Bears the
Burdens of War.
All honor to the dollar that an.
swers the call to arms and when
the battle is over. bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lays a
wreath upon the graves of fallen
heroes and cares for the widows and
orphans.
All honor to the industries that
bend their backs under the burdens
of war; lift the weight from the shoul-
dere of the poor and build bulwark
around the nations credit.
All honor to those who contribute
to the necessities and administer to
the comforts of the boys who are
marching; cool the fever of afflicted
soldiers and kneel with the cross be-
side dying heroes.
A dollar may fight its competitor in
business, industries may struggle for
supremacy in trade and occupations
may view each other with envy or
suspicion, but when the bugle calls
they bury strife and rally around the
flag, companions and friends, mess
mates and chums, all fighting for one
flag, one cause and one country
The luXuries in life have always
been the great burden-bearers in gov
ernment. We will mention a few of
them giving the annual contributions
to the nations treasury: Liquor, $780,
100000; tobacco, 100000 900; sugar,
$54 100000; silks, $15,500OOO; dia-
monds, s3,s37 900; millinery, s2,479,-
600; furs, s2,024,OoO and automobiles.
$870,oOO. We collect s665, 100000 of
internal and custom revenue annually
and s450,00000O of this amount classi-
tes as luxuries, and to this amount
we should add the $10000O,00O war tax
now levied.
The war tax is Immediately effec-
tive Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! the
industries are marching s1o0000,OoO

they will fill the treasury again while
they shout, "Hurrah for Uncle Sam!"
