POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

England's war expenses are $751;
100000 a day.
The Duke of Sutherland has given
his Borgie estate, in the north Of Scot
land to the United Kingdom for the
settlement Of soldiers and sailors. 1t
comprises 10000 acres.
One Of the pleasantries connected
with Gen. Joffre's visit credits him
with the record breaking achievement
OF having captured New York in an
hour,
William A. burst Of Philadelphia
and C. H. Holt Of Portland, Me-, r
probably the only living men who
were on the Monitor when she fought
the memorable battle with the Merri-
mac.
! Gervais Raul Lufbery, the lace" Of
the escadrille of volunteer American
now flying and fighting for France, is
a native of Connecticut and started
life as a mechanic,
Wives Of nearly 100 naval officers
on duty in Washington, who have been
ordered to sea, will follow their hus-
bands as far as the shore and there
dwell in tents with their children near
the fleet rendezvous.
Whenever the German evacuate a
community they leave desolation in
their wake. One of the things the
Americans are going to help the AL
lies to do is to rush forward and build
new railroads to bring up the base Of
supplies as the Allies advance. An
other kind Of work will be the building
Of permanent railroads to replace
those destroyed by the Germans.
1.-THE star-Spapgled Banner, is pop
ularly acclaimed as the American nat
ional anthem. 1t has not however,
been formally 50 designed by Con-
gress. Several resolutions to that ef-
feet have been introduced-the last
one February 20, 1sl8-but none has
been acted on.
A call for 100000 volunteers to
wrest the Holy land from the Turk
is soon to 90 forth. Pincus Rutter-
berg, a prominent figure in the Rus
sian revolution Of 1905, says they will
be recruited from the 100000 Jews
in the United States, A vast army Of
Jews fighting for the restoration Of
their land and their national identity
is Jincus Rutterberg's idea.
Labor and fuel difficulties and the
necessity Of devoting all possible man
hood resources to military require
,ments now spell ruin to the small
German tradesmen, such as the bak-
ers. The concentration Of supplies in
the hands Of the bigger and moro eco
nomical establishments has made nee
essary the consolidation Of the smaller
businesses. This has been voluntary
on the part Of the Berlin bakers and
compulsory in Hamburg, where the
small men refused to follow sugges-
tions to make On agreement with the
bigger establishments.

WARNS AGAINST OVER. OPTIMIS-
TIC REPORTS.

Washington, May 17-(By Union
Associated Press)-Special crop ex-
perts who are investigating conditions
in the northwest states for the Gov
eminent are understood to have sent
here within the past day or two ser
ious warnings against over-optimistic
reports by those In authority regard
ing the 1917 yield of wheat, corn, po'
tatoes and other foodstuffs. From a
preliminary estimate it is thought by
farm experts that there will be a 10
per cent. increase in wheat acreage,
but this may be too high.

VERY BAD MAN IS BILL" HART
IN NEW PLAY.

William S. Hart has been een in
many character ~portrayals of Western
bad men-gamblers, bandits and two
gun men turned parsons and sheriffs.
But If one took all of these characters,
it is said, and placed them in the melt
ing pot the result would be of angelic
design in comparison to the part play.
ed by this popular star in the latest
Triangle-Ka Bee drama, THE Gun
Fighter" by Monte M. Katterjohn, in
which he is presented by Thomas H.
1nce % star.
The locale Of this story Is an Arizona
desert town, and Hart portrays q
bandit II the worst kinda "killer,"
which title be has justly earned. He
Ss finally persuaded by those in auth
oority to become sheriff IN order that
he may kill q halfbreed raider, though
It is the hope Of the authorities that
both will be killed and thus render the
state two services in one. One can
easily appreciate, it is said, the many
exciting situations that result and the
opportunity it affords this popular
star to portray the character in a
manner for which he is famed.

MR.. HALEY IS BETTER.
Report of His Serious Condition
Proves to be q Mistake.

The many friends of Mr.. J. L. Haley
WHO is in a hospital in Memphis, will
learn with much pleasure that he is
improving rapidly and expects to re-
turn home on Monday a week. A re-
port that Nh. Haley was much worse
has been in circulation for two days
in the county but fortunately proved
to be a mistake. He had a chill last
week and Mrs. Haley was called to
Memphis, which gave the grounds for
the rumor of his serious condition.

churches tell me- they are now used
for,society purposes, instead of Gods
and God is a side issue. Our dollars
are used by criminals for all kinds Of
crimes; why continue to insult God,
with the motto 'In God we trust?
Why not be consistent and have
the motto changed to "In birth con-
troll we trust?
Europe is doing its share to reduce
population in the old way and has
no time for birth. control now, but
after the war is over do not be sur
prised to hear of nations Offering
prizes for the largest families of real
men and women who believe in God
as of old.
The white-faced robbers of the ma
ton are with us. Can they be de-
stroyed before they destroy us?-

know as well as you do, Gordon,
that our system of government is far
from perfect 1 know the worker
does not get all his rights. But, my
dear friend, leaving our country open
to invasion by some relentless foe
who has a far lower estimation of
the rights of the worker than al
ready prevails here, is not remedying
the situation. Is it? When you con-
slider that the city of Bucharest has
been taxed $500 per capita by the
Germans you can well imagine
what you and would have to pay in
a similar predicament.
AS to your question, Where is
your patriotism; must they pay you
$50 a month; isn't $13 enough?" 1
would say, Mr.. Gordon, you do not
get the point of my argument at all.
If this country should be plunged
into war 1 do not want a cent to
fight. My services are free. Why?
Because do not want to have some
foreign government taxing me $500.
Get the point. At the same time,
believing as do, that a fair-size
army always ready TO stand the 1rst
blow will tend to make a possible en-
envy think a good many times be-
fore attacking US, say, offer $50 per
month instead of SIS, so that those
who favor the life of a soldier will
have more than Office boy wages.
This will also increase our army,
which will lessen our chances of
having to fight at all, and viii cost
but a fraction per year of what war
costs per month.
This talk about being ready to
fight when the war for industrial
freedom is on" is lot of bunk. The
worker is coming into his own more
and more every day. 1t is a hard
fight, but they (wOrkers) win win,
and without bloodshed, too.
And, as a conclusion, Gordon, let
me remind you that you have free

WHEN va Should EIGHT.-


AS is generally the case with men
like Jas. Gordon, who imagine that
unless a thing directly concerns them
mad their own personal property they
should take no interest in it, he can
not understand why 1 am interested
in the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippines.
The only reason want Uncle Sam
to protect those far eastern posses
sions is because under our govern
ment they are far better off than
they ever were before, as my friend,
Mr.. Gordon, can very easily ascertain
if he will simply look up the Stats
tics on disease, prosperity and edu-
cation in the islands mentioned and
compare them with the conditions
prior to their coming under Uncle
Sans roof.
AS is usually the case when a So
cialist (which l think Mr.. Gordon isl,
