ENEMY Aliens" and "Alien Enemies"

ENEMY Aliens" and "Alicn Enemies"
a LTHOUGH the phrases enemy alien"
L \ and "alien enemy frequently are used
INTERCHANGEABLE to denote German resident
in this country, there is distinct difference
of meaning between them, which should not
be lost sight OF. All Germans who still owe
allegiance to Germany, no matter how peace
able and well-disposed toward this country
they may be. enemy aliens" because
they are citizens of an enemy country In
another class fall the Germans who are ac-
tive enemies of the United States; they are
'alien enemies. Within this designation
are all the German spies, plotters, strike
fomenters and active anti-Americans with
whom this country is honeycombed.
An enemy alien" may be-and generally
is-perfectly harmless. But If he converts
himself into an allen enemy" he becomes a
snake to be crushed by the heel Of long
patient America.

Justice to Income Taxpayers

HERE will be slight disagreement any
where with the action of the Finance
Committee Of the Senate in striking finally
from the war revenue bill the retroactive tax
on 1916 incomes. The condition OF the
country, financially or otherwise, does not
JUSTIFY this impost. To tax a man on an
income the high cost OF living already has
required him to spend--and, possibly, TO
overspend-m anifestly Is both unfair and
unwise.
But the committee-and the Senate
would do well TO keep hands off the surtaxes
on incomes above $4,000, that the com
mlttee already has reduced to the original
House figures by the elimination OF the Len
root amendment These surfaces range now
from to 33 per cent. They are not too
nigh, considering the countrys needs TO
reduce them substantially would mean higher
taxes on the necessities Of life which the
poor and those OF moderate means must nav

WOULDN'T DO FOR MARINE
BUT MAY BE PRESIDENT

Christopher Brown walked into
the Philadelphia recruiting station of
the United States marine corps re-
Gently and, after announcing the fact
that he was from Braintree, said he
wanted to enlist.
"The idea of enlisting is a good
one," said the recruiting sergeant,
"but what is Braintree-a breakfast
food or an educational institution ?"
at is town in Massachusetts
the only town in the United States
that ever produced two presidents" !"
proudly replied Brown. "John Adams
was born there and so was John
Quincy Adams. John Hancock was
born there, too, as was Colonel
Charles G. Long, chief of staff of the
marine corps. If you take me into
the marine corps | may be running
the thing in year or two"
But Christopher Brown had fiat
feet and so can't be U. S. marine,
although he finds comfort in the
thought that he may some day be
president.

LOCAL MERCHANTS URGED
TO SELL LESS SUGAR
Sales to Families Will Be Limited to
81 Purchases-All Should Help.

The Mutual Mercantile Company is
in receipt of the following letter
from the United States Food Admin
istration concerning the sale of su-
gar.
AS the grocers are cooperating
with the government authority, SO
should the public cooperate with the
stores. Do not store up big guam
titles of sugar and use as little as
possible. Statistics show that the
average person in the United States
uses 90 pounds of sugar year. In
the European countries the con-
sumption has been cut to IL pounds
year The letter follows:
Mutual Mercantile Co., Leaven-
worth, Wash. Gentlemen: The Fed
eral food administrator has estab-
lished the following rules with refer
ence to the retail sale of sugar in
this state and desires the cooperation
of all grocers in securing the observ-
ance of these rules:
First-Sales to family consumers
to be limited to 81 purchases.
Second-Hotels, restaurants, board
ing houses, etc., requiring more than
that amount will be permitted to
purchase 10 days supply.
Third-Farmers or others living at
distance from the city will be per-
mitted to purchase in 25-pound lots.
Fourth-All grocers are requested
to report to the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, Spokane, the names and
addresses of all purchasers buying in
quantities in excess of 81 lot.
Fifth-Sugar shall not be used as
leader for special sales or to en-
courage the sale of other merchan-
disc.
There is, as you know, no short
age of sugar in the Northwest.
These rules are established simply in
order to reduce the normal consump-
ton of sugar which is badly needed
for shipment to our armies abroad
and to the Allies.
l shall greatly appreciate your CO.
operation in securing the observance
of these rules. Very truly,
CHARLES HEBBERD,
Federal Food Administrator for
Washington.

A meeting was called and held at
Peshastin on Friday evening, Nov
23rd. Mr.. J. A. Warman was cleo
ted chairman and Mr.. Chas. Wright

fore been submitted to the voters OF
Peshastin Irrigation District, and was
defeated, and
"Whereas, it is the sense of the
voters that additional water is re-
quired for use in Peshastin 1rriga-
ton District, but a difference OF
opinion seems to exist as to the best
method of securing the additional
water, and
"Whereas, considerable investiga-
ton has been made by the Peshastin
District with reference to sources
of supply and the cost of procuring
the same, and
"Whereas, it is the sense of this
meeting that all of the information
procured by the commissioners, and
all other information that can be pro-
cured, on the various sources CT SIP
ply should be submitted to the yoters
and that the voters after considering
all of the Information have the right
to select by vote the source from
which the additional water be OBJ
tanned and that the commissioners of
said Peshastin Irrigation District be
pledged to submit said proposition to
vote, and thereafter when bond
issue is submitted that a statement
will be submitted Herewith that the
proceeds from the bond issue will be
used for the purpose of procuring
water from the source selected by
the voters, and for no other purpose:
therefore
"Be it resolved, that the candi-
dates for commissioners, at the cleo
ton to be held on December 18th,
1917, be pledged to submit the mat
tiers to the vote of the people as
hereinbefore set forth, and in the
manner hereinbefore mentioned"
A committee was then elected by
those present at the meeting, com
posed of the following persons: c.
E. Maxson, C. E. Stage, R. 0.
French, M. w. Starks, F. A. Win
gate, S. P. Beecher, and j. L. Arbo-
CAST. The committee was appointed
for the purpose of considering can
didates, and naming the candidates
who should be selected at the coming
election, and pledging each one to
the matters set forth in the resolu-
ton, and also to confer with the
eastern end of the district in order
that harmony might exist.

RED CROSS WANTS HELP
Members of Local Red Cross Chap.
ter Urged to Make more
Knitted Goods

I The Leavenworth Red Cross is in
receipt of letetr from the North
western division of the Red Cross
at Seattle, under date of Nov. 23rd
calling the Leavenworth chapters at
tention to the need for knit goods
in the following language:
To al chapters, Northwestern Div
ision.
"Our first call for knitted goods for
France was contained in Major Muir
phys cablegram of August 18th,
which set forth the urgent need for
the knitters in Red Cross Chapters
to exert every effort in the making
of sweaters, socks, and wristlets, SO
that our soldiers and sailors might
be protected from the cold.
This need has never been fully
met.
The need for this added comfort to
the complement of every soldier and
sailor has been reiterated again and
again by messages from Washing
ton, D. c., and from the armed
forces themselves who have express
ed the highest appreciation upon the
receipt of these articles.
1t is imperative that all the sweat
ers, socks and wristlets that can pos
sibly be made by the women of this
country should be turned in to the
supply department at the earliest
possible date. By the cold weather
coming on the demand for sweaters
especially has taxed the capacity of
all our resources.
Requests from the European Com
mission in France have had to re-
| main unsatisfied because of our in
ability to supply knitted goods to our
own army and navy.
May call upon the women of the
Northwestern Division to give their
very best efforts from now until at
least January 1st as we must fur
nish our own men with those COM
forts before they leave this country,
and wish to have some to spare for
the dire needs in France.
Will you please forward all knitted
goods possible at the earliest date to
the warehouse at Seattle. Very truly
yours, c. ID. SIlMSoN,
Manager Northwestern Division.
The women of the Leavenworth
capter urge all who have undertaken
this work to return their sweaters,
socks or wristlets to the local chap
ter at the earliest possible moment
to the end that the request from
headquarters may be complied with
Send that job of printing down to
the Echo today.
