WHO PAYS THE POSTAGE?

7T7O SHIP pound of good paper with printing it
from the eastern seaboard to Boise costs cents It
in freight in around three weeks.
A magazine printed the same grade of paper can
be shipped the same distance at cost of cent pound
1t comes in mail attached to passenger train in
around three days.
1t is estimated that there is only reasonable profit in
the freight shipment What loss then, is there in carry
ing the magazine at l cent pound by fast mail?
The figures not at disposal but there is
congress that indicates it is considerable
is pending applying to all publications that
heavily increases the postage periodicals shipped long
distance In fact it revses all newspaper and magazine
postage Zones established from under 300 miles from
the point of posting to 1900 miles, and the postage
from cent to six pound. Most weekly and
many daily newspapers will not be required, if the law
shall be enacted to pay than at present for the bulk
Of their business but the magazines and newspapers hav
ing nationwide circulation will be confronted with a
postage bill of from two to six times the present cost
1t argued by the eastern publishers that the rate is
unreasonable but does not appear that any rate
unreasonable when wipes out postal deficit that the
whole public must pay in one form another.
The desire for the dissemination of news and other
reading matter has been literally recognized by the gov
crnnent for years, but there is good why it
should be extended to the extent of ping up red
count that must be paid either by the people large
by the smaller publishers whose influence in official places
be effective that Of the publishers of the
national newspapers and magazines.
There is lot of seishness in the attitude Of most of
the eastern publishers, and congress will doubtless be
quick to detect it.

JUVENILE COURT

JUVENILE COURT REPLIES
Mr.. Albert Bell, 5123 Emerson Az:
My attention has been called to your
communication, published in The
Day Book of Feb. 10, in which you
state something in regard to a child
whom you saw on the Halsted street
car at Madison and Clark SITS, in the
charge Of an officer from the juvenile
court.
I feel that in justice to the court,
and the officer, the facts of this case
should be presented to you.
At about a quarter before 5, on the
date which the child was seen on the
street car, a message came to this
court from the court of domestic re-
IatiOns, 902 City Hall, that a woman
was being taken from the courtroom,
by order of the judge Of that court,
to the Psychopathic hospital for mem
tai observation, and possible commit
ment to a hospital for the insane.
She had with her in the court her s.
yeaT-Old child. As her husband had

THE PUBLIC FORUM


PATRIOTISM. - Patriotism in its
last analysis is simply enlarged self
ishness. The Oft-quoted phrase, MY
country right or wrong" stands eX-
actly upon the same basis as Myself
right or wrong. Whichever it is, l
will fight"
If we were as anxious to get our
selves and our country right as we
are to fight now, it would not be
many years until war would be as
illegal as dUeling. But this not not
saying that fighting is always wrong.
It is not saying that patriotism right
Iy understood is not noble senti-
ment. The worship of the flag and
the assumption that our country and
its laws are so nearly right that re-
form is not necessary, and that it is
our mission to impose our inStitU-
lions upon other peoples and reform
them to our own notion, is false pa
triOtism. 1t leads to wars that are
no better than wholesale murder
and rank piracy. The European war
now waging is the fruit Of false pa
triotism, false beliefs, false ideals and
corrupt and oppressive institutions.
Under these conditions the masses of
all people have been robbed for cen
turies and still fall down and wOr-
ship a false patriotism and submit to
be robbed.
Its startling immensely and its
fearful toll of human life and ire
mendOus destruction of property
have aroused the worst and the best
passions of all people. The attitude
of the German empire toward the
commerce of neutral nations, with
it's ruthless destruction of human
lives and its contempt for all moral
restraints, promises to embroil our
OWN republic in war
The arguments Of the peace advO-
Gates are fOrcible and strong, but
there are limits at which peace would
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-16

If war comes it will not be solely
fight for the plumber of foreign COM
merce. It viii not be because we
have been insUlted. It will not be
solely because our citizens have been
killed and imprisoned It will be upon
the high moral ground that Germany
has wilfully violated the fundamental
principles upon which civilization
rests. It will be upon the ground
that the empire has abandoned every
just tenet of humanity and has re-
sorted to piracy to gain her ends.
Our dignity and our honor as
nation cannot be assailed or suIlied
as long as we keep ourselves right,
and to keep ourselves right now we
must exert ourselves to maintain the
freedom of the seas and the right of
weak nations to be unmOlested by
the piratiCal ambitions of the great
and strong. So the war, if it comes,
will be a war for the liberties of all
nations. It will not be for ourselves
alone that we fight, but for the fu-
ture protection of all humanity
against the greed and ambition of
empire builders.-George v. Wells.

 BY THE COUNCIL
Requests of Members of Volunteer Fire Department of Seward to Be Granted and Harmony
 Again to Prevail
BOYS TO RECOMMEND A CHIEF
Councilmen Are Unanimous in Their Action Regarding Propositions of Fire Department Done in
 a Special session

The old ordinance regarding the consolidation of the offices of Chief of the Fire Department and Night Pa trolman will be annulled and a new ordinance will be drafted and pre- sented to the city council at the next regular meeting. The Volunteer Fire Department of Seward will be reor- ganized and the members will be ask ed to recommend their choice fol Chief and this important branch ot the city will be once more placed on suitable sphere.
 At the special meeting of the city council last night, all councilmen be- ing present with the exception ot John Dubreuil, the acting fire de- partment members submitted re- quests which were arrived at when a special meeting was held last Sunday afternoon. The fire department made the following propositions:
 That the council recognize that part of Ordinance No. z, Section 1, which provides for the election of a Chief to be chosen by the members whose duties will be to look after the fire apparatus, inspect hydrants, flues and chimneys and to receive $50 mon thly salary;
 That the membership of the Depart ment shall consist of 20 active mem bers, each to receive $t per month and those responding to a fire, $2 each;
 That additional sleeping quarters be provided in the Fire hall for four additional men and that all communi- cations from the department receive just recognition,
 The councilmen unanimously voted to accede to the requests of the de- partment members with the exception of the S2 for each man responding to a fire alarm. This matter will be ta- ken up again and it is believed that a satisfactory explanation or readJuSt- ment can be made.
 The councilmen all recognized the importance of Fire Department and were extremely anxious that dissen- sion be eliminated and harmony pre- vail
 City Attorney Green will undoubt- edlv have the necessary new ordn- ance and the notice of repeal of the old ordinance ready by the next regu- lar meeting of the council.

ALASKA MINER IS
 TRIMMED BY TRICK

Shades of '98!" exclaimed Police Lieutenant Joe Mason the other af- ternoon when told that TrinkO Apro- vich, recently returned from Alaska, was the victim of an old confidence trick, says a Seattle newspaper
 Aprovich, 40 years old and a miner was standing at First Avenue south and Washington street when a man began searching the sidewalk tor something which he apepared to have lost. He was joined by another who told him the Alaskan had picked up something a moment before and put it in his pocket.
 Aprovich, sure of his own innocence consented to a search of his clothing. The pair of bunco artists, according to the story told later at the police sta tion, searched until they came to his money belt in which he had S3SO in $2O gold pieces. This they emptied n- to a handkerchief, counting each com.
 Seemingly satisfied that they had not found what they were lookn5 for the men rolled up the handkerchief and placed it in Aprovich's pocket and walked away The victim pulled out the bundle, bent on restoring hs wealth to the belt, and discovered stones. The trick was favorite one during early rushes to Northern gold fields, but has not been worked here m many years.

BRITISH SHIPS ARMED !?
Berlin Says English Merchantmen
Hunt German Submarines.
Promise Complete Proof That Stand.
ing Cash Prizes Are Offered by
Entente Governments.

Washington, Feb. Germany has
promised the state department COM
plete proof" that British armed mer-
chantmen Systematically hunt German
submarines to ram or sink them by
cannon fire. Specific instances Of such
actions already have been cited to the
state department. However, up to the
present time, this evidence is incom-
plete and as result the United States
has not utilized it to base direct in
quiry to Great Britain, Secretary OF
State Lansing said.
The German government has prom
ised, however, that it will make out
complete case in its endeavor to have
the United States class entente mer-
chant craft, armed fore and aft, as
auxiliary cruisers. 1t has cited to this
government copies of alleged French
and British orders to merchant cap
tains telling them to ram or sink In
any way possible all submarines sight
ed. In addition, it is alleged, that
standing cash prizes of $1,000 per SUBJ
marine are offered by all of the entente
governments.
Secretary Lansing said that he has
no information that such prizes are
offered except for successful resist
ance to attack" He also said that
this government still was without any
direct information that entente mer-
chantmen, especially British, are to
be more heavily armed.

SUMMONS WRITER
OF LEAK WARNING
House Committee Orders Mem
ber Of Hutton Firm to Ap-
pear in Inquiry.
ESTABLISH Time TIP SENT
"Flash" Came to Wall Street Between
1888 and ;54 O'Clock on the
Afternoon of December 20,
Testimony Shows.

New York, Feb. 1.-The time of the
now famous leak" of President VIII
sons peace note was definitely estab-
lished as between II so and. l :54
o'clock on the afternoon of December
20. In those SO minutes someone
tipped off Wall street and thereby
brought about one of the biggest
crashes the street has seen in years.
Steady hammering by Sherman L..
Whipple counsel to the congressional
committee which is investigating this
leak, brought this out at the hearing.
Hutton on Stand.
E. F. Hutton, aIyouthful broker, who
admitted his firm received information
from Washington, declared he made
$4,000 by selling "short" in the hectic
days between December II and 23 The
first information concerning the presi-
dents peace move that his Office re-
ceived he said, came from F. A. Con-
molly & company at Washington, of
which r. w. Boiling, brother-in-law of
President Wilson, is partner.
Whipple took the kilograms which
Hutton and company sent out to their
various connections on the fateful day
to narrow down the time of the leak.
He showed that at IL :59 a flash" was
put out saying it was reported" the
state department was going to make a
peace move. Just Sc minutes later a
confidential" message was sent out
by the Hutton people, containing the
-sbSs.sata infeFHsatiesst thats the. isetesh had
been sent and furthermore startling
ly accurate forecast of its contents.
Unable to Explain.
Hutton could not explain this. The
messages were reported, he said, by
one of his partners, George A. Ellis,
who is now in the South for his health.
A summons for his immediate ap-
pearance in New York was issued. 1t
will take him two days to get there, it
was said.
Hutton's books, which he submitted
to the committee, showed that Con-
molly & company were not short to any
great extent from December to, %.
Never in that PERIOD according to Hut
toms figures, was the Connolly-Bolli
concern "short" more than 400 shares.
