GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

Senator Reed of Missouri is reported to have accused the Republicans of wanting to become the war party of the country. As a matter ot fact, when did the Democrats ever compose war party of our country? They never had the prop CT leader; and today, what could they do with school professor as a war leader. The chances are that he would favor arming the soldiers with harness strops, or something, and would order them to spank their enemies on the seat of their pants, or somewhere. Reed said that Roosevelt was in supreme power of the Republican party and that he would drive the country into war in the event the party at this election.
 Give the devil his due. Supposing Roosevelt was in supreme power; this would not necess- arily mean that we would go to war. But it would mean respect for our country. If we go back only a few years ago and take the Vene zuela case. Roosevelt made Germany take the back seat The German ambassador thought Roosevelt was buffing. For his indiscretion he was recalled by the kaiser and dismissed in dis grace, and Germany has respected our country until the present war.

Of course the report may prove inaccurate and to be candid we do hope that it shall, but today the report has it that Delegate Wicker sham is now campaigning in the interior of AL aska and has for one of his many slogans that "He' the Great I Am secured the equal divis- ion of our forest money at the last legislative session. He is reported to be boasting of having been the leader in the robbery. Can you beat it :?
 He comes here and tells us that he had noth- ing to do with the division of that money, and he goes in the interior and tells them that they ought to be thankful to him for having secured some of that money. Yet some of us who have qualified the division of that money as highway robbery" are still hanging to his coat tail Can you beat it?

SHAME ON YOU MISS SUMMER!

Shame on you Miss Summer for staying around so late in the season. Here we are all most the first of November, and you are still with us. Don't you know that it's about time you give MT. Jack Frost and Miss Coldrain a chance to visit us. You have roasted us long enough now. Indeed we are almost cooked to a frazzle. Go to the states for while-or Ju- neau, and help thaw out those poor people who are now freezing and half buried in snow.
 Here, residents of the land of the Midnight Sum- the land of everlasting winter accord ing to Eastern people-are tired of you Miss Summer We want to discard our straw hats and "peekaboo" dresses. We are tired of this long heated season. A little cool weather will do us good. So, go Miss Summer, go. Leave the Banana Belt alone The harvest is in now

POWDER PLOT" TRIAL BEGUN
Writer Asks $4,000 in Libel Suit
Against Du Point Company.

The $4,000 libel suit brought by
Charles Johnson Post. a magazine writ
er, against the Du Pont Powder Com
pany, obtained its first hearing yester-
day before Judge Julius VI. Mayer in
the Federal Court. The action is the
result Of q series OF articles by Mr.
Post ia "Harpers Weekly" in June,
1914. entitled The Powder Plot which
revealed the agreement existing be-
tween the Du Pont Company and q
German powder firm 20 furnish exact
information concerning the sales OF the
Du Pont Company 10 the United States
and other nations.
A circular etter was sent out by the
company after the articles appeared, IN
which IL was stated that Mr.. Post had
libeled the Du Pont Company IN con-
nectiOn with its dealings with the gov
eminent, and that the editor of 'Har-
per's Weekly,' Norman HapgOod, had
rendered the company page In which
20 publish q refutation Of Nr Posts
charges. Mr. Hspgood denied that this
was true, and Mr.. Post brought suit for
damages against the Du POn- Company
through his counsel, Edgar 4. Ryder, of
Ossining. y. !.
yesterday a4T. RyGeE stated IN OPEN
ing the case that the confidential in-
formation obtained In the laboratory
maintained by the United States for
the purpose Of improving military pow
der was turned over 20 the Du Point
concern for use in the manufacture Of
its powder. Since the Du Pont Com
pany was under contract 20 furnish
such information 20 the United Rheln-
ish Westphalian Gunpowder Mills, Mr..
Ryder affirmed that the American firm
therefore served as q channel by which
the secret information concerning the
amount and quality Of the powder used
by the United states reached the Ger
man government. He also stated that
the contract exposed by Mr. Post in his
articles was renewed in 1892 and was
still In force to-day
Martin ". Littieton, representing the
powder company, replied 20 Mr.. Rvder'-
charge by asserting that the United
States government was fully aware Of
the contract existing between the Ger
man and American firms.
The trial was adjourned until this
morning.
