SHIP SAILINGS ONE
OF BIG QUESTIONS
TO BE CONSIDERED

Washington. Feb. 5.-Tke question
of sailings Of American vessels espe-
cially the American liner st. Louis,
promises to become one of the biggest
immediate questions before this gov
eminent.
Government officials decided this
afternoon against conveying, as they
regard this to be physical impossi-
bility. On the other hand, they held
1t to be an inalienable right that Amer
lean ships can sail; but they indicated
no thought had been given yet to arm
ing merchantmen.
The state department has already
unofficially counselled against sailing.
Hence if American ships put out of
port they will do so knowing that they
are following their right, but If Ger
many keeps her threat, they will be
open to attack

GOVERNMENT SHOULD TOTE FAlR

Iroquois Chief-It must not be for
gotten that If this country expects
the fullest loyalty from its citizens in
war times the government must tote
fair and protect the people. There is
no reason why robber prices should
be put upon everything that the aver
age man has to buy except the fact
that the sellers are taking advantage
of the situation to line their own
pockets. II 10 expected that prices
will be higher under existing circum-
stances than in normal times and II
Is perfectly right that all dealers
should have a reasonable profit but
beyond that no man should be allowed
to so SO far as the necessities of life
are concerned. 1t is fully realized
that the administrator is nearly
swamped with important matters In
connection with the wal bat in the
Chiefs opinion nothing is more i'm.

AN UGLY CONDITION

The announced shortage OF coal at
northwestern lake docks and railroad
centers presents an ugly condition
at this time particularly. Mine own
ers, boatmen. railroads, and people
concerned are passing the buck back
and forth as to who Is to blame.
There is likely to be a prevailing opin-
ion among the people that this condi-
ton IL fclsted upon them for the
purpose OF giving some persons a
chance to make more money. Coal
men talk shortage OF coal. railroads
talk shortage of cars, and the govern
ment Is beginning to talk "investiga-
ton III the meantime coal. an abb
soiute necessity for the people OF the
northwest, Is going up to unheard Of
prices.
The Amerisan people are good-na-
tured and will stand for many things,
but the robber prices for food and
fuel experienced II the past year or
more Is rubbing II on 4 bit too thick.

THE srTMMER CHAUTAU0UA

The Centerville independent says Il
is not going to boost any chautauqua
and guarantee its pay and quotes the
Sioux Falls Press which recently said:
IF the chautauqua is such a good
thing as the promoting companies
claim it to be, then IL should be able
to stand on its own feet and take its
own chances in paying out."-Canova
Herald.
Like every other question there may
be two sides to this one. The chau-
tauqua is apparently popular and suc-
cessful. Without the bureau organic
alton, or some such system, it would
be impossible to supply the varied
talent now making many towns. The
one feature that does not appear TO be
equally adjusted is the work OF local
people to make them successful, and
all the profits going to the bureau.
Even the talent is moderately paid.
Those familiar with those entertain
ments claim that the bureaus make
big profits, with no chance OF loss,
because local people guarantee them
from loss.
To make this guarantee good, with
out personal loss to a few individuals,
these few individuals who stand be-
hind the guarantee must do a lot Of
work. This. of course, is all right for
those who feel like spending their
time and energies in that way, but as
a matter of fairness they should re-
ceive pay for their efforts. In other
words, If the chautauqua is a melon"
it should be "cut" with those who
make ii a success.

There is not a paper of consequence

RIGHT OF WAY AT CROSSINGS
