government to mind its own bust
ness.
Would it not be well for this gang
of profiteers to accept Secretary Ba-
ker's advice in regard to hours Of
labor and furnish fir and spruce
lumber to the Government at a rea-
sonable profit?
They are "bellowing their heads
off" because certain holders of
spruce stumpage refuse to name a
price for their timber Now isn't
it fact that the little timber held
by others than the mill autocrats
is not a serious drawback to secur-
ing of all the stumpage wanted?
The truth about the matter is
that this gang of lumbermen is
the damnedest bunch of liars that
ever crossed the Cascade range.
Their false claims Of patriotism
should be thoroughly sifted and
held up to the gaze of the world.

THE LESSON OF HISTORY

Let those who are trying to pre-
vent this country and state from
catching up with the progressive re-
forms which have been adopted in
other countries, take warning. Re
member, it is the lesson of history
that an unwise repression is always
overthrow by a change far more
radical than would have occurred
had its opponents been more wise
and just.
The attempt to oppose the Ini-
tiative and Referendum, Old-Age
Pensions, Health Insurance and those
reforms that will enable our voters
to get information which they need
to decide political questions wisely,
without depending upon the charity
of self-interest of a few rich men,
will inevitably lead to a radicalism
far greater than this, if the re-
dictionary crowd in this State are
not wiser than they have been.

YAKIMA JONES
WOULD BECOME
SEATTLE JONES

The Seattle Star said: Senator
Wesley L. Jones, in an address before
members of the Young Mems Re-
publican club in Seattle last Friday
night, announced he would make his
home in Seattle in the future,
rather than in the Yakima valley,
where he has been living for the
last % years.
Il find that the greatest amount
of business and the majority of the
people live on the west side" said
Senator Jones, land for that rea
son | plan to live here, so that
may better attend to my affairs. v
Senator Jones is quite right. A
majority of the people do live on
the West Side, and having more
votes, might aid the senator in at
tending to his affairs. Most of the
business is done on the West Side
too, and the business men as well
as the politicians want a senator
from Western Washington.
Senator PoindeXter's term will eX-
pire in 1928. Senator Jones term
will expire on March 4, 1921, and
the Senator probably thinks if he
moves to Seattle now he may be-
come "acclimated' by Tuesday after
the first Monday in November
1920.
The Senator has recently given
some hints that he needed a change
of climate"

TWO ATTACHMENTS LEAVE
Men of Company l. Entrain, But Townspeople Gan Only Guess Their Destinations.


 Company l. of this city is now somewhere in Connecticut doing guard duty. The company was divided up into two 'defachments.@ one in charge of Captain II. F. F. Teising and the other in charge of First Lieutenant J. B. Fullerton, each detachment left at different times for different parts of the country but near together. The first detachment through some mis- understanding with the yard officials did not get on their train during the afternoon and were forced to wait un- til evening before leaving Wiiifmantic. Lieutenant Fullerton and his men left this city shortly before o'clock on the train toward Putnam.
 4 detachment of the company that is stationed here left the city for guard duty late Thursday afternoon. The rest of the company which Is staying at the local armory will remain in town for the present at least.
 A train carrying a company of soi- diers passed through Willimantic on Thursday morning to parts unknown. When asked the men of the company stated that they did not know where they were bound and they did not care to tell where they were from.
 All the members of the local com pany were in fine health and spirits when they pulled out of the station Thursday and 1t was freely stated that the company would be out of the city for sometime. As many people of the city knew nothing of the or ders that had been received at the local armory the crowd on hand to see the first detachment off about 4 o'clock was not as large as the crowd that saw the boys off to the camp at Mantle last summer. The crowd was much larger that witnessed the de- parture of the second detachment which left early in the evening. Be- fore leaving the local station Mayor Dunn addressed the men in behalf of tine city of Willimantic.
