A COSTLESS ADVICE

It is said that there is great deal of talk going the rounds about this man or that man. i'll reference to their demeanOr towards the gov ernment in general and the Red Cross work. Tn this matter, we are of the opinion that those who may so far forget themselves as to speak Ill of either the government or the Red Crsos are only breeding sores on their noses. A surprise is in store for them.
 In the first place, as President Wilson has repeatedly said, this is no time to criticse. The country has all it can do to prosecute its aim and those who may not agree with the majority, should do well to remember what Attorney Gen. eral Gregory told us all that is to say: Obey the laws and keep your mouth shut" By fol- lowing this admonition they may save them- selves much trouble-and may be their necks You never can tell
 The most astonishing part of the disagree able affair is that born Americans-not speak ing of naturalized foreigners and enemy 2EcnS, who are finding fault because of their ornrness -prattle about the streets against the govern ment These above all the rest should L. con- sidered traitors interned and made to work to support the country. The authorities should have less patience with born American citizens than of naturazed or enemy aliens. Although they should all be made to walk the chaik line or dig coal for the government nd that's what will happen.

WHERE SWEDEN STANDS.
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)


 The recent quick rise in Swedish exchange is re ported by York dispatch to have led to the beei in financial that Sweden was about to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers.
 In view of tn efac that the Liberals and Social Dem ocrats in the Swedish elections accomplished the overthrow of the proGerman Conservative Government there would seem to be small basis for these fears
 It was the busted Conservative Ministry that per mitted interruptions German diplomats like Luxburg to make unneural the Swedish official channels of communication other ways. too the fallen govern rnent showed it's sympathy for the German cause
 But the Swedish masses are not at all proGerman as was plainly shown in the elections The royal fam y the arisocracy, the office holding class and the mill tarv caste are more or less under German influence But when in power they dared not risk revolution and the overthrow of dynasty by betrayng Sweden Now that these elements have been openly rebuked by the nation and deprived of office, whatever klihood there was of Swedens casting lot with the Teutons Is mar rowed
 AS for the in the price of Swedish kroner is mostly due to relative depreciation of the American dollar, because of our entry into the war

TUNE UP FOR CHRISTMAS.

Deep down in our hearts every one of us cherishes what may be called the Christmas sen- timent. However it may be, when Christmas comes it finds us all to greater or less degree ready to cry "A Merry Christmas to alP' and to the best of our ability keep it with good cheer. Even ii we go as so many have done the past year, outside of the walls of our home, we will observe the day in a more or less conventional manner.
 This year brought us sorrows undreamed of before. But to brood over our troubles will not help matters. And there is no disputing the fact that it might have been worse. For that reason let joy reign; let care go to the dogs, throw forebodings to the Taku winds and tune up for the day of days that comes only once each year. And let the years go on. Without for getting our dear ones. we need not make it worse

In explaining to Congress, in his annual report the wisdom in having released miners from their assessment work Franklin K Lane, the Secretary Of the Interior cites the following instance: "A salwart westerner came in early in May osay that he would like to enter the Army but if he did he could not hold his mining claim
 He was typical prospector. steelframe construction Withut superfuous pound of fesh and the longrange eye of the man who lives in the openthe very stun of which the best soldier made But the fruit of his es work was be found in few holes in the ground and
 few pieces of paper tackled trees or posts In the mountains of the West. He willing to take his chances of returning if the Government which wished him to go would be good enough to hold his property until his return without exacng the yearly labor which the law required Mining Journal.

a Law Which
Made Criminals

There was opened up new line.
No morality about il at all; just ask
your lawyer how you could DO il, and
go ahead. and your lawyer said. "Ab-
sorb; knock him down, bring him in.
But do not make any agreement with
him. The common law said il you
do that you are criminal. The cap
tsir Of industry in interstate commerce
became criminal in interstate COM
mecce. and visa versa. For fifteen
years that vas the Law, and the crime
IN the thing was lost. People were
wondering why these big builders Of
industry were called criminals. As a
matter Of fact, they were criminals,
because under the Law they could not
help being criminals.
When the Supreme Court reversed
itself, in the tobacco case and the
Standard Oil case. in a unanimous de-
cision, | think, they said, "After all,
we are wrong. We realize that it is
the combination that must be an un-
reasonable restraint. IL really. after
all. must be inimical TO the public well
fare in order TO be unlawful"
Do you remember what an uproar
was created at that time? Congress
Immediately appointed committee to
investigate the matter, and Senator
Cummings was at the head Of it. It
