and lowly' philosophy seems to
have worked himself into a regu-
lar fit of egotistieal temper all
because he did not have his own
little way in keeping the Bible
Students out of the Stadium or
making Judge Rutherford accept
Dyer's standard as to what he
might and might not say or talk
about. Imagine a man of the cali
bre of Judge Rutherford intellect
ually asking Dyer what he might
say!
And why anyway should the
Bible Students or Methodists or
any other cult ask Dyer whether
they can meet in the Tacoma Sta
dunn and if they do why should
Dyer put a choke strap on their
necks and control what they talk
about.
ITO have shut the Bible Stu
dents from the Stadium would
have been a disgrace to Tacoma.
And to allow Dyer to dictate what
they might talk about is too silly
for consideration. Yet that is
what he tried to enforce.
THE whole trouble seems to be
Dyer has been laboring under
hallucination as to the importance
of one Frank Dyer in the COM

that it was up to Dyer to con-
troll the thinking of the whole
people and all the strangers with

to control the Stadium and Judge
Rutherford. He did neither and

ATTACK ON
PRISON GUARD

Quilted Press Leased Wtre.D
JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 10.-One
convict was shot and three guards
and a number of convicts were
wounded in a riot at the state
prison here today. The city and
prison authorities said early this
afternoon that the situation was
under control.
The trouble started when 40
of the convicts were being march
ed from the dining room to their
cells. When they were ordered
into line, they suddenly attacked
three guards with knives they had
carried from the tables.
Before help arrived the guards,
Charles Murphy, Michael Marx and
l.. r. Shotwell, had been stabbed.

A FLOUR
FAMINE
FEARED


MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10. -
Farmers thruout the northwest
are holding their wheat in the
hope that the government will re-
open the price question, and in
consequence the country faces a
flour famine.
Officials of the food adminiSs'
tration here and millers today
agreed that serious situation
has arisen. 1t was predicted that
unless the farmers release tho
crop President Wilson will COM
mandeer it, under the powers
conferred by the food control bill.
Only $50 cars of wheat were
received at Minneapolis today.
Millers believe the farmers will
hold their wheat at least until
after the conference on food
prices which will be held at st.
Paul Sept. IS, 10 and 20, under
the auspices Of the Non-Partisan
league.

Answering the Sunday night
sermon of Rev. Frank Dyer, who
denounced Mayor Fawcett for his
refusal to censor the address of
Judge Rutherford, made recently
in the Stadium, the mayor Mon
day issued a statement accusing
Rev. Dyer of being angry be-
cause he could not prevent the
Associated Bible Students from
holding their session in the Sta
dunn.
Rev. Dyer spoke bitterly of the
mayor in his sermon, declaring
that he had utterly no respect for
the mayor, and that Fawcett did
not show good common sense in
some of his recent public state
ments.
The mayors statement follows:
Rev. Frank Dyer used his pull
pit last night according to the
press to call me an idiot, Judge
Rutherford a liar and all Bible
students ignorant and deluded. !

what the wisest diplomats are
still wrangling over-the real rea-
son for the war in Europe. Judge
Rutherford is a liar apparently
for giving his version of it and in
cidentally criticising preachers
like Dyer who are working for the
Lord for large salaries, and all
Bible Students are ignorance and
deluded for believing what Pastor
Russell or Judge Rutherford or
most anybody else evidently ex-
cept Dyer should tell them.
Dyer seems sorely peeved. He
forgets that Whom the gods
would destroy they first make
mad" and this preacher of "meek

A TRUE SWEATER STORY.

Chicago Herald: There have been 80
many lying sweater stories" circu-
lated by persons in sympathy with
Germany that lot of people no doubt
took particular pleasure in reading
the true one that came from Camp
Grant the other day.
1t told OF 10000 hand-knitted sweat
ers. warm and comfortable and re-
joicing the eye that had arrived there
and been distributed among the sold
iers. 1t told OF how pleased they
were to see them and what a lot of
solid service they expected to get out
of them. 1t told of the qualification
of men who had not received such
gifts from relatives when they real
lied that there We're thousands of pat
riotic women and girls doing their best
to see that no solder should be with
out that almost indispensable article
in this climate.
And these are the sweaters that
according to the little German lies. are
going to pawnshops, are being sold
TO soldiers at high prices. are being
appropriated by officers, are being di-
verted to any use save that for which
they are intended.

FIRST OF THE NEW FLEET.

The first big cargo ship built and owned by
the United States government and constructor
under the direction of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration was launched last Saturday at Seattle.
The new vessel of eight thousand, eight hun
bred tons is built of steel and is of the standard
lied type 1t was begun when General Toe
thals. who showed keen understanding OF the
value of steel ships as compared with wooden
vessels. both for the war period and IN COM
lmerce after the war; was head of the corpora
ton Other steel ships of like construction Will
follow in rapid succession The corporation
has completed twenty-eight large vessels that
we're building for private companies or foreign
governments and were requisitioned by the fed
leral authorities.
The government plans provide for great
fleet of cargo carriers. 1t is reasonable to be-
ieve that, with rapid development of defenses
against the submarine and the probability that
German U-boats are being destroyed faster
than Germany can built them, most Of the ships
will survive the war When peace returns, the
United States will have most valuable asset
in merchant marine such was not dreamed
of before the conflict began. Then the discus
sion of the old question Of government owner
ship and operation will be revived, but for the
present it is enough to know that the United
States is building the ships needed now to win
the war and which will be needed in American
foreign trade when the war is over.

kultur and superiority. DR.. Steiner
at Marshalltown talked beautifully in
regard to the hardships put upon
men like himself. with relatives on
the other side engaged in the war.
He did not mention that the men on
the other side have made 1t neces-
sary for US to call out millions OF
men to fight them. He did not at
any time say that the American
people are attempting to put German
militarism TO death in order to save
Mexico, Canada and the Monroe doc
triue, There are many things DR..
Steiner did not say. His addresses
sound beautifully, but they are decep-
tive They are made UP of eloquent
omissions, as well as eloquent asser-
lions. There can be no halfbreed
patriotism in this country from now
on. The man who desires to serve
the United States must make 1t
known that we will have no more
of German brutality. We will have
no more so-called German kultur.
We will have them to understand
that frightfuiness has no terror for
people fighting for their God-given
rishts. DR.. Steiner should have his
relatives come over here and get
right. Maybe then he would become
right He seems to have no concep-
ton of the causes leading to the war
between the United States and Ger
many AT Marengo, Iowa, some
weeks ago DIR. Steiner said that "civi-
lization is in no more danger from
Prussian militarism than from the
Bank of England" These words
were printed in both the newspapers
at Marengo DIR. Steiner must under
stand that if there is no danger in
Prussian militarism to civilization,
then there is no cause for this war.

AID OR oWNERsH1P-WHIcH?

Belief that if the government does not come
to the help of the railroads it will have to take
them over is supported by high authority.
Neither the roads nor their highly paid en-
ployes desire government ownership. Least Of
all is it desired by the informed public ac-
quainted with results Of the system in other
countries. 1t need not come, but there is rea-
son to believe it will unless the government
abandons policy responsible for an impos-
sible situation and does what it can to help the
roads
Aid may be given in three ways. First, the
interstate commerce commission, the govern
ments agent in dealing with the carriers, may
grant an increase in rates. This step should be
taken at once for the need Of highr rates has
been established beyond question. Second, the
government may loan money to the roads to en-
able them to meet their immediate requirements
in the way Of larger and better transportation
facilities The policy of keeping rates too low
has brought the roads to point where they
cannot attract private capital. and the govern
ment is in honor bound to do everything pos
sibe to relieve the situation it created Third,
the government may help by giving the roads
a free hand in the matter of combination in the
interest of economy and efficiency
Frank A Vanderlip, president of the Nation
al City bank Of New York, has said We are try
ing to control the roads by two irreconcilable
systems, Zone which prohibits combinations.
The other which regulates through the inter-
state commerce commission" Either NAV be
all right, but not both at the same time. Mr..
