|sNUBBINe THE sNUBBER


Young Fred Glenn was a self-con.
scious young man.
Therefore he was an egoiistical
young man.
Miss Dora Winfield was self-con.
scious and conceited. Perhaps she
didn't realize it--perhaps she did. Al
any rate, she loved the limelight and
didn't love anyone else who did. She
had heard OF Mr. Glenn some time be.
fore she met him. and had said to her
self:
HE Is D young man who needs TAX
ing down a peg or two. and 1t Is foz
me to do It. It shall be done very thor
oughly."
And Il was. When ths hcste=.
brought the young man forward to in
troduce him, he looked for smile OF
admiration, If not alteration.
No smile.
Miss Winfield bowed and turned hel
back.
Mr.. Glenn was dazed and dunn
founded. He viewed the snubber from
afar and was delighted when he
found he could criticize her hair ant
features.
Miss Winfield on her way home from
the party smiled and unused:
81 don't think that young man feels
20 clever as he did"
A week later Mr.. Glenn stepped into
q railroad ticket office to inquire about
the trains to Belle Harbor. The ticke,
man had just told him there were foul
a day, when Miss Winfield came trip
ping In. and said:
II want to know right away aboui
the trains to Belle Harbor."
"Just minute, MISS"
y ''But I may miss the train I wan
to take"
He turned apologetically to Mr.
Glenn, and the young man nodded and
turned away, humming.
Then the young lady used up ter
long minutes. and departed with 9
smile Of triumph
Wasn't doing 1t to bother you, eh ?
queried the ticket agent.
On, no. nOu8h perhaps ehs
thought she was"
And when Mr.. Glenn left the offics
he knew that he nnd Miss Winfield
were to tiavel down to Belle Harbol
on the same train. He was to go tt
q hotel and she to relatives.
At three O'Clock they met at tht
train and both started back In surprise
He extended his hand to assist hel

minutes she asked man opposite Il

MISSION OF THE NEWSPAPER

Ever since men began to print
things that other people did not like
there has been more or less contro-
versy concerning the function of the
newspaper. The CRATER has always
declared that the newspaper is pub
lie nuisance, the tyrant has contended
that it is arrayed against the best in
terests of the state and the man with
half baked theories of life has con-
tended that the press is the agent of
the devil in overthrowing the morals
of the community. Despite opposi-
ton, however, the press has won its
way to freedom. Today it occupies an
unique position. A very profound
observer, in speaking of newspapers,
said:
"What do we have the newspapers
for? Why are they granted liberties
under the Constitution 1t is be-
cause they are needed as a part of
the government. They are part Of
the government; unrestrained, but val
liable and useful for that very reason.
"a newspaper can print anything,
even to erroneous statements. 1t can
print anything except malicious lies.
Its function in the government is to
investigate, to pry into the business
of every department of the govern
ment, and to criticize wherever it sees
fit.
at sometimes makes me out of pa
tience with newspapers that all do not
realize their function, that they are
virtually part of the government.
1t is their duty to find out evils wher-
ever they exist and bring them to the
attention of the responsible authori..
ties. They are the great safeguard
against corruption in public office.
"And how much better they can do
this work than any grand jury! They
have their men going about every.
where, nosing into everything, II
there is anything wrong they will be
sure to find it out. Some one Will

The ce-at-any-price shouters tell
us that support of the war is support
of militarism.
They tell US militarism is hideous.
They tell US America is not a mill
tarist nation and must not become one.
They tell us America is land OF
peace and land of quiet industry.
They do not tell us anything that is
new to us.
We know America is land devoted
to the ideals Of peace.
We know Americans detest militar-
ism. :,
And we are determined that we shall
never have militarism.
That is why we have got to defeat
German militarism.
If German militarism and autocracy
win this war America will be COM
PEELED in sheer self defense to create
such a military establishment, both
on land and on sea, as we have never
dreamed of. :.
We will have to do that because If
we do not do that Germany will come
to our shores and run riot over our
land.
Militarism can be killed only by
killing it now Germany is a militar-
list nation bent on conquest. Every
move Of Germany is move toward
conquest. Every plan OF the German

WYOKLA OIL co.

One of the more recent oil COM
panies that is winning the respect and
confidence of the oil investing public
is the Wyokla Oil Company, which
was Incorporated one month ago: 1t
is composed of high class men of ac-
knowledged integrity, who have han
died much larger business enterprises
to a successful conclusion.
1t has low capitalization, S15,000.00,
divided into 100000 shares and is
selling no promotion stock. 1t gives
an absolute guarantee to refund every
cent of money paid into the company
for stock if shareholders become dis
satisfied within sixty days, regarding
the company's holdings or manage
ment.
The company is founded on sound
business principles with only one OBJ
ject in view, namely, to make it pay
dividends to it's stockholders.
1t has valuable leases in Salt Creek
and other Wyoming fields, also in the
Boynton- Wainwright, Oklahoma, field,
with several equally valuable leases
pending in Oklahoma and Kansas.

CITY's COAL ORDERS INCREASE.
First Breath of Winter Causes Rush
For Cheap Fuel.

The first touch of winter, which
manifested itself Tuesday night in a
perature, sent men and women hurry
Ing to city hall to order coal at the
cost price of $415 ton. Seventy-five
persons who are at the head of fami-
lies of moderate means placed orders
thru the city coal department during
the day.
More than 600 orders have been
taken so far at the city hall office
alone, and the branch offices at the
yards are gradually building up a
trade that will be increased as the
winter season approaches, according
to George A. Levy, in charge of the
department.
Two of three mines under lease are
now supplying the city with coal for
the institutions, and for those families
that cannot afford to pay the pre-
vailing war prices for coal. The third
mine is expected to begin the ship
ment of coal next week.

WHO WANTS MILITARISM?

government is made on war map,
America has got to crush the mil
itarism of Germany in order to escape
militarism at home. .,
Every ideal of America is an ideal
of peace and democracy. Such ideals
must perish, or at least be held in
check, if America has to submit to the
burden of militarism as protection
against German lust. -,
The peace-at-any-pricers would head
America straight for militarism.
They would have America stop now
and grant peace to Germany that she
might again take up the task of build
ing a mighty military machine for
world conquest-that the mittel Eu-
ropa scheme might expand into
steel hedged belt around the world.
They would have liberty surrender
to tyranny; democracy humbly salute
the brutality of autocracy.
That shall not be; that must not ana
will not be.
The American people set their faces
like flint against it.
And the labor movement, ever bound
heart and soul to the age-long strug-
gle for democracy is and must remain
a part of this great struggle; is and
must remain a great contributing fac-
tor to the strength Of America in It's
war for democracy.
Labor will remain true to its cause,

drop hint. Then the facts are print
ed and they go Immediately before the
administrative officer who is respon-
sible.
"If he does not act the remedy is
still in the newspapers. They can
bring the matter of the negligence of
the public official to the attention of
the persons to whom that official is
responsible, and lastly they place all
the facts before the people, who at any
time can regulate anything under our
form of government.
"No, am not one who believes that
the function of the grand jury has
passed away. have the greatest faith
in the value of a good grand jury. But
it is not the function Of grand jury
to investigate and criticize purely ad-
ministrative matters. It will have all
it can do to consider cases OF crime
brought before it."
The man who does not agree with
these sentiments will very likely say
at once: "Who said that? Some edi-
tor very likely" But the man would
be mistaken. 1t was not an editor who
declared that newspapers are part
of the government. 1t was lawyer,
and, more than that, a lawyer who
occupied a seat on the bench. The
sentiment quoted is part of an opin-
ion delivered from the bench by Judge
Mayer Sulzberger of Philadelphia.
So far as we now recall, Sulzberger
was the first judge to give judicial
standing to the newspaper as part
of the government. The Philadelphia
jurist simply discovered fact that
has been conceded by the general pub
lie in this country for many years.
People who are inclined to disagree
with the opinion that the newspapers
are a part of the government should
try to conjure up vision Of repub-
lie in which there are no newspapers.
If good government is impossible
without newspapers, then newspapers
are a part of good government.

PREHISTORIC VASE Is FOUND
Blasting for Drainage Ditch h Nebras- ka Uncovered a Remark
 able Relic.

c. F. Buchholz of this city has charge of a company of men who are dyna- hitting q drainage ditch east ot here about four miles, says the Falls City correspondent of the Omaha World Herald. The purpose is to loosen the dirt so it may wash and both widen and deepen the ditch and prevent over flows. The dynamite shakes side walls and bottom.
 After an explosion the other day a large portion of the south side wall caved down, exposing a large vase about nine feet below the surface. The workmen thought the pot might con tain valuables and made further ir- vestigation, which disclosed no Span- ish gold, but the pot itself is fine eX- ample of the work of the prehistoric race which inhabited this section in bygone ages. The pot is blackened on it's interior as if it were from fire. It was imbedded in stiff clay and the ground about showed no appearance of having been disturbed. A number of photographs of the pot before it was removed were taken to show the depth and location.
 The pot was found to be about eight cen inches deep with an opening at the top about the size of an ordinary table plate, while it might measure three feet in circumference at the middle. Some distance farther down the rayiae some bones were found
 The pottery was brought to town and will be reassembled, as the blasting powder used in the -ravine had caused parts to crack and drop out.

 "Thcre is no firing yet, although I expect it, for no doubt we are in for a straff' if the 'Boche' knows we are going in"
 No "straf" developed, although the Germans put over few customary shellc-hitting nothing
 The troops entered the trenches safely, unit by unit passing quickly to the places assigned them. Ouietness was essential, but the French welcome none the less was heard and it was enthusiastic.

The trenches were found to be muddy, but nevertheless in condition of excellent construction. Greetings being over the Americans settled down and at daylight, under low hung, dripping clouds, they got their first view of the German line stretching away in the rolling terrain.
 It has rained daily since and the troops now are covered with mud. Of | ficers say they are certain the Ger mans know the Americans are oppo- site them, but there has been no spe- cial activity
 One American battery observed and scattered a marching enemy group with shell fire.
 Following is the first official state ment issued from the American head quarters:
 "In continuation of their training as a nucleus for instruction later contingent of some battalions of our | first contigents, in association with veteran French battalions, are in the first fine trenches of quiet sector on the French front. They are support cd by some batteries of our artillery in association with veteran French 1 batteries.
