Uncle Sam Turns New Leaf.

No nation will be the same after
the present war. The immensely OF
the conflict has called for changes in
governmental methods and conditions
that were undreamed of in times OF
peace. One of the notable changes
in the methods of this nation is the
power given the government by the
act of March 4, last, to conscript
property as well as men. Under that
law, Uncle Sam can commander all
sorts of supplies for the army and
navy, law that some big dealers over.
looked until it's application created a
sensation.
A firm bidding on furnishing sup.
plies for the navy was somewhat as.

lowing curt notice from the paymaster
of the navy:
"In accordance with the authority
conferred on the President by the
act of congress March 4, 1917, l am
directed to place with you the at
tached order. You will deliver the
goods specified therein as directed
and the price to be paid therefor
will be determined by the President
in due course
ANY representations you desire to
make as to the price you claim for
these goods should be submitted to
this office with your bill on delivery
The attached order is based on pro

on April 10. Please acknowledge the
receipt and acceptance of this order

The statute of March applies only
to government supplies: but the ad

congress for a far more sweeping law

WORK OF THE PRESIDENT.
"Put Il In Writing" 10 the Rule Of
Our Chief Executive.

"Put Il In Writing" 10 the Rule Of
Our Chief Executive.
Mr.. Wilson likes to have things in
writing, and almost all of the business
Of the Wilson administration is con
Quoted in that way. The cabinet has
learned to submit virtually everything
in writing. Mr.. Wilson has no stenog-
rapher with him at night. He keeps a
little typewriter beside him and types
a brief comment or reply to each Of
these long communications.
Even the presidents private secre-
tary. when anxious to lay before him n
matter Of importance, draws up a
memorandum or brief giving the pros
and cons Of the subject. He could just
as well walk few steps to the White
House from the executive offices or
even consult the president when he is
in his office, but ever since he was gov
ernOr Of New Jersey Mr.. Wilson has
indicated that he prefers to have i'm
portant questions placed before him on
paper so that they may be examined a:
his leisure, though the very word is a
miSnOmer.
No mind could retain all that is said
to the president in single day, SO it
happens that Mr.. Wilson's desk Is al.
ways piled high with papers. 1t is a
constant battle against constantly
ascending pile. Part Of the mountain
is made up of official papers and com.
missions that merely require the presi
dents signature, small bills and resolu-
lions that have passed congress. Writ
ing ones name a hundred times is n
monotonous undertaking, but the presi-
dent must do it literally thousands of
times a week. David Lawrence in

Labor Unions and the /. w. W.

The action of the Grays Harbor
Labor Council in denouncing the rev.
Olutionary methods of the l. w. w.
denotes a somewhat belated recogni.
ton of an avowed enemy of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor. From its
inception, this destructive organiza-
ton has openly planned the disrup-
ton of craft unions and the socialist
political party. This is readily seen
by the official publication describing
the structure and methods of the l. w.
W., where is found in what they call
the Preamble" the following:
1.-THE trade unions foster state OF
affairs which allows one set Of work.
ers to be pitted against another set
of workers in the same industry
thereby helping to defeat one another
in wage wars. Moreover, the trade
unions aid the employing class to mis-.
lead the workers in common with
their employers"
mo terms made with the employer
are final. All peace so long as the
wage system lasts, is but an armed
truce. At any favorable opportunity
the struggle for more control of indus
try is renewed"
The education of employers to the
TACT that their interests and those
of their employees are to very great
extent mutual has been due to the
efforts of the A. F. of L. extending
over many years, yet the I. w. w.
would destroy the fruits of this effort
and build up an un-American idea
of "class," unmindful of the fact that
in this country the employe of today
is the employer of tomorrow if he has
the capacity, industry and thrift to
seize the opportunity when it con
fronts him.
The I. w. w. and Trades Unions
have absolutely nothing in common
and that the latter had not discovered
the fact sooner has been a surprise
to all who have examined the prOpa
ganda of the former.

1T is a kind of a magnified steam
schooner with little or no sail spread
which the Shipping Board now has in
mind-a vessel with a dead weight
capacity of from 5000 to $500 tons
and speed of from ten to twelve
knots an hour. Such a craft can be
propelled by steam or the newer

ready for sea under favorable condi-

greater extent than ever before, and
flowers should in many cases make
way for vegetables.
The national emergency food garden
commission is undertaking to inten-
sify this sort Of planting 10y using in a
large way the machinery that already
exists, by giving greater publicity and
efficiency to the movement and by co.
ordinating the work.

Is proceeding at Il swift rate and with

we expect TO induce more than
l.OtD,OOO young people. women and
elderly men this year to plant Il food
garden who have not done so before.
This alone should add much more
than $25O0O0,O0O to the food value Of

made such gardens before should in
crease their efforts.

endurance, both nervous and muscu-

her reserve force. she paid the penalty.
During the early hours of the night
she slept hardly at all as soon as her
bodily discomfort began TO decrease
her mind became unruly. and it was
not until nearly dawn that she dropped
off into complete Inconsistencies. She
was awakened by a sunbeam which
pierced her leafy shelter.
1t was still early: the sun had just
cleared the valleys rim and the ground
was damp with dew. Somewhere near
by an unfamiliar bird was sweetly
trilling. Alaire listened dreamily IN
til the bird-carol changed TO the air of
familiar cowboy song, then she sat
up, queerly startled.
