To DefOrest Belgium

THE HAGUE, June 1S.-Not con-
tent with devastating French forest
lands, the Germans are about to pun
ish Belgium still further by cutting
down all timber available for trench
purposes. General Won Felkenhaus-
en-, the new Military Governor, has
issued an order demanding full de-
tails as to the stand of fir, pitch pine,
larch. poplar, elm, and ash. Such
trees are to be cut down and COM
Wandered for the use of the army.
Any owner who fails to give the in
formation demanded will be fined
$2,50O or imprisoned for three years,
or may suffer both punishments.

JOHN B. MARSHALL, a Oh

JOHN B. MARSHALL, a prOmin-
ent attorney of Juneau, is out in an
open letter to Delegate Charles A.
Sulzer, protesting against the ap-
pointment of Judge Robert w. Jen-
nings of Juneau, and giving his rea-
sons as entirely personal. Among
other charges against Judge Jennings
Mr.. Marshall states that the Honor
able legal light of Alaska's metropolis
called him damned fool for ma
king speech at a temperance meet
ing last fall. In view of the fact that
the Juneau gentleman airs his views
in the republican press of the terri
tory, and claims to be a Democrat,
there are others who may share the
eminent jurist's opinion before the
dust is allayed.

WHAT an awful blow the appoint
ment of Judge Jennings will be to the
republican papers of the territory.
Notwithstanding the bitter opposition
developed to the Judges appoint
ment, he was unanimously confirmed
by the Senate. Gov. Strong. Alaska S
Democratic" governor, was a strong
opponent of Judge Jennings, suppos-
eddy on account of his decision in the
delegate contest, and every opposi-
ton paper in the territory gladly took
up the Governors attack upon one of
the foremost legal lights in Alaska.
The fact that the administration over
rode this unwarranted opposition
gives the democrats the hope that
their opposition to the Governor may
also succeed in the retirement of the
traitorous executive.

UNJUST CRITICISM

The Anchorage Times, in a recent
editorial, states that the Chamber of
Commerce of that city has forwarded
petitions to prominent congressman
asking that a re-allotment of road
funds be made, as that district had
received only $4,000, while the bulk
of the 100000 appropriation would
be spent on the Valdez-Fairbanks
trail, which would be abandoned as
soon as the railroad is completed.
Granting that the major portion of
the funds will be spent on the Val
dez-Fairbanks trail, which taps a
greater farming community than the
whole railroad system, via the Sus-
tina, the statement that the Valdez
trail will be abandoned after the
railway is completed is extremely err
roneous and injurious to the great
farming section around the Copper
River Valley ard south of Fairbanks.
This road taps an extremely fertile
country, and one which has larger
population than the proposed railway
will serve, if it is ever practicable.
While any conservative person must
admit that the road will serve a use
full purpose in tapping the rich coal
fields of the Matanuska country, it
is common talk by old timers that it
will be a failure when it attempts to
penetrate the interior via the Susitna
and Broad Pass route. The trail will
never be abandoned for the reason
that in summer time parties can take
auto here from a south bound boat
and be in Fairbanks before the boat
reaches Anchorage, thereby saving a
long, expensive trip and two days
time. In winter the time will be
about the same, as Anchorage is shut
altogether from the interior traffic,
while Valdez is reduced to dog team
travel, and mushing, and in many
cases the musher from Valdez will
make nearly as good time as the
train.
We have no wish to detract from
Anchorage's superior political pull in
getting the railway, but we must in
sist that the mushroom metropolis
recognize the fact that other towns
of the territory expect consideration
from the government, and will insist
upon getting it. Had the Valdez
route been investigated, with it's easy
grades and light SHOWS, there is no
question but that this city would
have secured the coveted railway.
-grhe Road Commission are doing their
utmost to serve all communities alike
and with fairness to ALL To cease
work on the trail before it's compile
ton would be to throw away all the
moneys expended up to the present
time. We must respectfully remind
our valued competitor that while
feeders are necessary to the railways
success, they can be constructed after
the completion of the road. when
their locations can be more accurate
1y determined.
$4,000 for the Matanuska district
which comprises only portion Of the
agricultural lands of the territory,
is a much more liberal appropriation
than the rest of the division is re-
ceiving, and it would be peter for the
Times to refrain from unjust critic
ism Of the Road Commission and
await it's turn in development.

No Strength in Sissy-Men

80, fellow citizens of Tacoma, if
this great republic is to be true to
the new division and true to the new
duties and faithful to the new service
her citizens must be willing to sacri-
flee many personal opinions and
much personal comfort. The fiber OF
a true manhood is not made without
sacrifice and the old world across the
sea will never be lifted to the plateau
of true democracy by sissy men and
adle-pated women. That will come
thru the heroism of red blooded men
and the sacrifice and work of the
heroic and queenly women of Amer
lea.
IF ever a people were criminallly
asleep on a great menace, the people
of the United States are asleep on this
awful war When, before long, the
cable flashes the names of those OF
our homes who paid the price OF
world democracy by their lives, we
may wake up to the fact that we are
in war.

ponents of conscriptive draft

Tiger, chaplain of the End Washing

More than 1900 persons heard the

which played patriotic music. Off

cious. do not believe it. Even if
it were true, i lay down this eternal
truth, that when the result of a mans
weakness is as disastrous to others

BAKING
ROYAL RESTAURANT INSTALLS
NEW MODERN DEVICE.
Union Made Bread and Pastry Can
Now Be Purchased at This Popu-
lar and Convenient Place.

Early one morning this week, es-
corted by Ben Claff, manager, a Bull
letin representative visited the newly
installed baking department of the
Royal restaurant, 1647 Curtis street.
This department is located on the sec
ond floor, formerly the upstairs dining
room of this long established and pop
ular eating place. At an expense of
over $4,000 Manager Claff has in
stalled the most modern baking equip
ment ever brought to Denver.
The most important part of this
new equipment is a large revolving
gas oven for the baking of bread, and
all kinds of high-class pastry. Every
thing is perfectly clean and sanitary,
there being excellent light and ventil-
alton at all times.
While The Bulletin man was there
three union bakers were busy prepar-
ing the bake for the day. All of the
bread, pies, cakes and dainties served
in the restaurant are baked in this new
department. A speciality now being
turned out by the Royal is Danish
pastry, which is growing in popular
favor every day.
The Royal bakery has opened a re-
tail department in the room formerly
occupied by the old Mozart bar, where
patrons. may purchase union label
bread, pies, cakes and dainties in any

TYPOGRAPHICAL.


Myron Eugene Goodwin, assistant
foreman on the Rocky Mountain News
and owner of the Goodwin Printing
company, died suddenly at his home
Friday morning, April 6. Funeral
services were conducted Sunday after
noon and the body cremated Monday
at Riverside cemetery. Deceased was
SO years of age and is survived by a
widow and three children, one son,
Donald R., and two daughters, Mrs.
A. F. Moriarity of Leadville, and a
younger girl, Miss Jean. Goodwin
had been a member of Denver Typo
graphical Union No. 40 for many
years, coming here originally from
News practically all of this time and
having served in the capacity of fore
man for several years. Early Friday
morning he went to his job printing
office and was taken with a choking
spell. A physician was called in and
Goodwin was removed to his home,
2451 West Forty-third avenue, where
he died almost Immediately. Over
work is believed to have been the cause
of his death, as Goodwin gave himself
very little rest, working nights on the
News and in his job Office during a
good part of each day. Goodwin was
well known to the printing trade thru
out the entire western country.
Nominations of candidates for local
offices, including l. 7. U. delegates,
will be made at the regular meeting
Sunday. May 6. Never before in the
history of the oldest inhabitant, mean
ing pioneer printers, has there been
so much modesty displayed on the part
of aspirants for official honors. Some
| of huf fn hn inf nd
late spring, others blame it on the
war. Be this as it may, neither "pol-
itical faction" has announced a regu-
lar slate and it now appears possible
that many official positions will be
filled "by request" 1t is doubtful if
President Pferdesteller will have any
opposition for reelection. Leo Cuth-
bertson is likewise making a lone race
to succeed himself as vice president.
Thomas Duffy and John Oliver are
the only aspirants for l. T. U. delegate
honors up to date.
"Sid" Adair has resigned his posi-
tion in Greeley and is now operating a
linotype at the Wahlgreen Printing
company.
Seattle Typographical Union has
just put into effect revised news
paper scale which will continue for a
period of three years. The new sched-
ule provides that printers employed
on the daily papers there shall receive
$3.50 per day of seven hours for day
work, and $6 for night work of seven
hours, overtime at the rate of S1.20
per hour. On holidays five hours shall
constitute days work.
Declaration of war has increased
the number of printers employed on
the daily papers of Denver and ma
chine operators have been in demand.
The Post is getting out o'clock edi-
ton each night and o'clock morning
war extra. The News is putting 10
o'clock night edition on the streets.

and labor comes up for a referendum

Nominations for local offices will be
open again at the next meeting and
with only one candidate seeking an

it is probable that in the.near future

Hoage and J. Reiter have entered. The
latter had the misfortune of suffering
from a slight rash, recently, so it
looks like other entries will have to
be made speedily or George will be
chosen the prize baby.
F. l.. Smith, Kansas City Mailer,
recently paid visit to the Post

friendly rivalry is looked for in some
quarters.
1t is expected that the Post "war

to the work of the Mailers in that
chapel.
With so many "Dutchmen" in the

local is not apt to be strongly repre-
.sented in the enlistment columns. Sew

ASK U. S. TO PROBE
STEAMFITTERS ADOPT RESOLU-
TIONS ON THE H. C. L.
Urge that Secretary of Labor Wilson
Institute an Investigation on
the Price of Food Stuffs.

At the last meeting of Denver
Steamfitters Union No. 2OS, the rise
in cost of foodstuffs was discussed at
some length. A resolution introduced
by Ralph Bradbury, calling on the
federal government to make a thoro
investigation was unanimously adopt
ed. This resolution was submitted to
the Building Trades Council Friday
night and likewise unanimously ap-
proved, as follows:
Whereas, The cost of living is high
er than ever before, particularly the
cost of foodstuffs. In the United States
it is higher comparatively than in
those countries that have been at war
for three years and who now obtain
food cheaper than do the Americans;
and
Whereas, The price of food is cheap
when it leaves the hands of the pro-
ducer and dear when it reaches the
consumer, it is cheap where it leaves
the producer and dear where the con-
sumers are massed; and
Whereas, The cost is all out of pro-
portion with the return to the farmer
who produces the food or the wage
workers who work under him; and
Whereas, Everything seems to point
that the dearness now existing is due
to causes that can easily be removed
if these are only understood by the
people; therefore be it
Resolved, That we petition the Hon.
orable W. B. Wilson, secretary of la.
Dor, to have his department make 8
thoro investigation of the causes OF
these high prices so the blame there.
for may be fixed, and the cause re.
moved

HENRY LAVOE TO BE CANDIDATE FOR
VICE PRESIDENT OF PAINTERS UNION

Henry Lavoe, president of Paint
ers and Decorators Union No. 70.
has announced his candidacy for
fourth vice president and western
organizer for the Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paper
hangers of America. His candi-
dacy has been unanimously indorsed
by the two locals in Denver and he
is preparing to begin an active
campaign.
There is a general feeling thru
out this section that the Rocky
Mountain region is entitled to an
office in the national brotherhood,
and Lavoe will undoubtedly receive
strong support from the entire
western district. He has been ac-
tive in the Denver labor movement
for a number of years.
Besides being president of his
local Lavoe is a delegate in the
Building Trades Council, the Trades
and Labor Assembly and a member
