Pullman, Wash, Friday, February II, 1916

SchWab, whom | see listed as one OF
the founders, war trafficker? Well,
he is president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, and we have
bought from Bethlehem 95,0O7 tons
OF armor at an average rate of $445
ton, and have paid Bethlehem for
armor plate alone $42,344,937. That
| is the second member of the armor
ring.
Now, there is another member OF
the armor ring, and that is the Car
negie Steel Co. Let us see if we find
them also among the founders OF
the Navy League. Yes; | see here
the name of j. P. Morgan. The late
j. p. Morgan was the organizer and
a director of the United States Steel
Corporation, which controls, accord
ing to MOody's Manual, the Carnegie
Steel Co. We have bought from the
Carnegie Steel Co. 1898 tons of
armor plate, paying an average Of
$442 a ton, or a total of $685.
497 for the single item of armor
plate; and if the Navy Leagues pro
posed $500, 100000 bond issue for
battleships goes through they viii
receive still larger contracts. So
that you see the three firms which
have a monopoly of the manufactur-
ing of armor in this country are all
founders of the Navy League, and
we have bought from them 233, 339
tons of armOr plate, paying for it an
average of $439 ton, or total of
$1O2, 5O4,292.
Remember that figure, $780,!
There have been 10 official esti-
mates by government officials as to
tthe cost of armor plate in a govern
ment factory, and the average of
| thees is $251 a ton; and had we
manufactured this armor in a gov
ernm ent factory, and the average of
these estimates is 1881 ton; and
had we manufactured this armor in
a government factory, which the
Navy League has cold shouldered,
think | am we'll within the bounds
of conservatism when | say we could
have saved to the American taXpay-
els, at the very least, $35, 900.
THE Harvey Steel Co., which
owned the patent on a process for
hardening stcCi which compelled All
manufacturers OF armor plate to pay
it a royalty, was in on the ground
floor at the organization of the Navy
| League, in the persons of S. S. Palm
! err its president, and Benjamin +.
Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy. MIR.
Tracy was the counsel for the Har-
vey company and the Carnegie Steel
company after leaving the navy de-
partment.
Throughout the existence of the
Navy League there have been sew
eral distinct groups represented,
raade up of officers, directors, attor-
neys, and employees. The most i'm
portant of these are the ]. p. Nor
gan group, the Bethlehem Steel
group, the Carnegie Steel group, the
Midvale Steel group, the Harvey
Steel group, and last, but not least,
Colonel Thompson's International
Nickel company group"
In view of the above very COM

lHE NAVY LEAGUE AND NAVY
LOOT

One OF the most insistent adVo-
lates of national preparedness is an
& Tganization known as the Navy
league OF the United States, which
urports to be non-partisan, patri-
tic society. Just at present this or
ganization is sending out letters to
Che newspapers of the country urging
Them to assist in stimulating the
popular demand for defense by bust
mess men everywhere, and offering
ITO furnish free of charge for inser-
tion in the papers a handsome plate
9f a proclaim alton, setting forth that
The Navy of the United States is
fthe security and defense of every
,4man, woman and child within our
ignores" ETC., and signed by a num-
+ per OF prominent citizens. The dis
& rlbution of these letters and plates
POSTS considerable money and it is
IN order to inquire whether this
Is ooney is contributed from pure
patriotism or for possible profit.
Fortunately this inquiry has been
answered in a very convincing way
81 y Congressman Tavenner of Illinois.
n speech delivered in the house
Il representatives on December 10.
asst, he said:
"A IN letter sent to members of
congress, dated January 10, 1914, A.
T. Dadmun, secretary of the Navy
League, said:
"a Certain congressman have in
'inuated that the league is supported
~ people who are interested in the
sale OF war materials to the navy
lhey are entirely mistaken
Mr.. Dadmun, in a letter pub
lsned in the January, 1916, issue of
Fearson's magazine, reiterates that
nen pack of the Navy League are
men who will not profit by the re-
ults OF the leagues propaganda.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may save YOU from dread
 attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a Well-knOwn auth ority We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry: avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water
 Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine: the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impuritN. Tn damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheuma atism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put a tablespoon full in glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action. thus ridding the blood of these impurities
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent lthia -Water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial U your kidneys as we'll

FINE YEAR AT POST OFFICE.
Report of Postmaster Delaney
 Shows Increase in Business

The year of 1915 at the post office, despite it's several poor months caus- ed by the falling off in business which was attributed to the European war, was a decided i'm improvement over that Of the previous twelve months, the comparative figures for that period being as follows: 1914, $150, ,202.39; 1915, $153, ,59O.13.
 the figures reports that the receU Christmas business will exceed that of last year by about $2,50O. The great volume in business for the past few months also assures the postmaster of receiving back the $10O which was deducted when the bust ness year for 1914, ending March 31, 1915, was found to be $145,OOo. It is necessary to do over $500 in business before the usual salary of $500 is paid the postmaster
 Prior to the outbreak of the pres ent conflict many natives of Poland were in the habit of sending mail 10 local relatives without placing stamps on the same. and in many instances the local people were so anxious to hear from the folks across the water that they paid as high as ten cents for the letters. This often times the office, but since the war started this mail has fallen off perceptibly, thus decreasing the business.
