and well attended considering

ing the war for the sake of hui
manity and to more closely ce.
ment the ties that bind nations in
Christian brotherhood.
Capt. S. j. Harmeling's paper
on Our Country and The Flag"

fairly aroused the audience to
the point of worshiping odd

in every land where it's folds are
flung to the breeze.

The rally at Burton last Friday
evening was a pronounced success II
viewed solely as a get-togethcr, neigh
borly gathering; but 1t was that and
more. The audience represented the
true patriotic sentiment OF the Islands.
ANY person protesting even maudlin
sympathy for Prussianism ON this oc-
casion would have received scant
courtesy. People are not in mood to
tolerate pro-German sympathilers. 1t

to show their colors, and show them

Land Commissioner Clark v. Savidge.
Farming lands have brought high
prices and there has been an increased
demand for the leasing OF lands in any

Better prices have been received for
timber, and in some instances because
of location and quality, the bidding
was spirited and prices unusually high.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is not day; it is a
habit. We cannot be thankful on
Thanksgiving Day unless we have
been learning how every other day in
the year. There are some simple
rules: Walk on the sunny side Of the
street; live as much as possible in the
best room in the house: think about
your friends, not your enemies: talk
about your good luck, not your bad.
These are some of the ways of acquir-
ing the spirit OF chcerfulness which is
the only soil on which the flower
Thanksgiving win grow.

NOW
During hurried trip over a portion
OF the Islands last week the writer
noted that the road east Of Center and
thence south to Ellisport had been
much improved by the judicious use of
gravel = and it was badly needed. The
roads traversed on Mhury were in fair
condition. Supervisor Kingsbury is to
be congratulated on the new water
grade road extending north from the
old mill, also for the work OF gravel
ing and dragging portion of the road
between Portage and Quartermaster.
The road from the Judd creek bridge
north to Mr.. Hofmeister's place has
been grayeled also, and the next to
receive proper attention will be the
new road TO Vashon dock. "My king
dom for two gravel trucks is the
clear call OF our Island road builders.
However, ''eternal vigilance is the
price of good roads, and there is no
question but every locality will receive
needed attention from our efficient
road bosses when funds to prosecute
the work are available.
During his stay in Vashon the latter
purt OF last week, Mr.. Gates of the
King County Council OF Defense, ex-
pressed some surprise at the apparent
apathy of the school faculty, or some
members of 1t, toward activities relat-
ed to patriotic service.
A representative of The Record Wis
tied Dockton last Saturday and found
that burg fully awake to the mate
rial advantages that will accrue from
a big shipbuilding plant. Ground was
being cleared of old building to make
room for the construction of three
ways, work on which will begin at
once. In addition to the site owned by
Mr.. Martinolich, where active work
has begun, three acres on the east
were purchased Of Mr.. Kern and also
tracts adjoining on the north and south
owned by Mrs. Chandler. This indus
trial enterprise means employment for
a large force of men, and will be of di-
rect benefit to the entire Island terri
tory as well as to Dockton. The new
company is capitalized at $4,000 and
commences business it is stated with
contracts aggregating more than a
million dollars.

Rights" AS Senator
La Toilette Sees Them

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette. on his
record. is in favor of maintaining every
alleged right against the American
government and of surrendering every
American right to the kaisers govern
ment.
The right of Americans to life and
property should not be upheld it is a
mere "technicality," says La Toilette.
The victims of the Lusitania had only
technical" right not to be murdered.
American sailormen and ship owners had
only technical" right to sail on the
Atlantic Ocean. That ocean technically
is free to all nations, but should be given
to the kaiser for his exclusive use if he
demands il.
Such is La Follette's position as at
tested by his words and his votes.
But the right of some irresponsible
or German paid publisher to print libels
on the American nation, to defame the
president, to urge ignorant boys 10 get
into the penitentiary by resisting the
law. is sacred, according to La Toilette.
No technicality about that Free
speech according TO La Toilette, has
no limitations. Altho the law and con-
stitution never have recognized free
speech against private citizen without
attendant criminal and civil responsible
ity, La Toilette insists that the govern
ment, the army, the navy, and the decent
Americans who are unfolding the flag,
should have no protection against Ger
man paid lies.
Indeed, according to La Toilette, the
government must be compelled TO trans
port thru its postal system any kind OF
defamation printed in the interest, ~
the public enemy, and give circulation to
matter printed and published for the ex-
press purpose of harming America and
helping the kaiser.
Ia Toilette is indignant because the
''rights" Of the /. w. w. have been
violated" Destruction of wheat, blow

What's the Matter
With Russia T?
OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. BY Frank Crane)

Everybody knows that democracy is
opposed by the ruling class, including
kaisers kings. hereditary mobiles, with all
their army Of philosophical defenders and
literary hangers-on.
But democracy has just as great an
enemy in that sentiment which makes
working class.
a class at the bottom Of society is as
bad as a class AT the top.
The fact is that democracy is the direct
opposite and enemy Of any class and all
classes.
There is no room in democracy for the
class spirit.
The emperor Of Germany. the ruler OF
Austria. and the sultan of Turkey. with
their encourage Of privileged favored and
high-born gentry. are foes to democracy.
The radical Socialists, bolsheviks or
whatever you call the class fanatics Of
Russia, are no less enemies Of democracy.
Democracy means whole people. uni
fled, with one law for rich and poor. equal
opportunities for all men. with the elm
nation of all special privilege for rich
or poor. II does not mean government
for the benefit Of the wage-worker any
more than it means government for the
benefit Of the capitalistc class il means
government for the benefit Of neither.
Those who agitate for the class spirit
among the proletariat are knitting democ-
racy as certainly as those who agitate for
monarchy, hereditary nobility and plu-
tocracy.
Democracy means justice, equality Of
opportunity. and no unearned privilege
az AL for anybody.
\ country dominated by the J. w W.
w0uid be Is bad theoretically as, and in
dnitely worse than, a country dominated
by lords, dukes and court fayorites.
II you understand this YOU will see
what is the matter with Russia.
II is one thing the class spirit.

before she can realize democracy 4

This Is the Day

The President Of these United States
Of America has designated this day as
LIBERTY DAY. lie has set II apart
from all other days as one IN which al
good and true citizens may pledge q
one another and to the government that
represents them the fullest measure Of fl
nanciaI support.
He hopes the results will be 80 impress
sive and emphatic that il Will echo
throughout the empire Of our enemy as
nm index Of what America intends 20 DO
10 bring this war TO a victorious conclu-
sion"
lie does not ask that you give this day
n single cent or shed one drop Of blood
for your country, your liberty and your
independence.
lie does not ask YOU this day 70 leave
your home. your friends and loved ones
TO battle with the enemy in the she'll
swept trenches somewhere IN France
Others have been asked to do that and
have responded nobly and well You are
not asked to make any heart-teaIlng sac
rifice such as hundreds OF thousands Of
our bravest young men have made.
You are asked to LOAN money you
have saved or can save 20 the end that
your government may clothe, feed and
arm the boys who have made the sacrifice
supreme 49, THEY HAVE LOANED
THEIR BODIES AND LIFE BLOOD
We can make this LIBERTY DAY for
ever famous in the annals Of American
history by DELIVERING A BLOW
TO-DAY!
Our President has set apart this day
for this purpose, tGst each of US may help
win the war even though We are stay-at-
homes and shoulder no guns in our coun-
try's defense.
Americans, rich and poor, old and
young, men and women, today may volun-
teer in this great army Of Liberty Loan
patriots. They may back their govern
ment with their dollars, even as other
Americans now are backing this same
government with their lives.
And-please remember this-the day
is not over when you leave the shop or
store or office. There still is time for you
to buy bond and for you to encourage
others to do so. No man has done all he
can, or all his country expects Of him
today, if he does not buy bond himself
and, having done that, use his most per-
suasive Liberty Loan arguments upon his
friends.
This day will never return again. Make
the most of it for LIBERTY and DEMOC-
RACYi
