the brunt in nine cases out of ten.
The particular thing which prompts
this outburst is the treatment accord
ed the people by the railroads. The
limited trains, with all their splendor,
still race across the continent with
their precious burdens of moneyed
tramps, catering to their every want,
rushing them with all possible speed
and comfort to their destination,
while the local trains that carry the
common plug citizen and his family
on their short business trips are taken
off the time card and the dear COM
mon herd can loaf around the poorly
lighted, and at times poorly heated,
depots and wait for all the way from
one to six or seven hours for train.
Why in the name of common sense
can not the expensive, heightened
trains be taken off and the little plugs
left to give the people who are, of
necessity, forced to travel some SEM
blance of service? This is just one
of the many instances we have noted
and, frankly, we don't like it. And we
don't think that patriotism demands
that we remain silent.

Liberal, Kansas, under the Act of
March 8, 1879.

In these war times when conditions
are constantly changing people are
urged, from patriotic motives, to ad-
just themselves to the changes. The
Democrat tries to be patriotic and do
everything in its power to further the
interests of the nation, and we be-
lieve we are as patriotic as the aver
age American citizen, yet we some
times get hot under the collar when
we see some of the injustices to which
we are forced to submit in order to
be patriotic. When sacrifice is to be
made it seems to us the little old COM
mon plug citizen is the one who bears

would better be careful what he says.
In our experience of over twenty
years in the newspaper business, we
have had this happen many times
and we always managed to pull
through, somehow, and the fellow
who got hot and stopped" the paper
soon discovered that he had not stop

and made it necessary for him to bor-
row a copy from his neighbor to see
if it had any more vile pieces he did
not like. And if it did-well he could
not kick because he was not a sub
scriber. And thus the old world
moves on.

Liberal is a mighty good town
there are lots and lots of good people
here; fact, most of them are good for
something, and most of them good
for most anything. However, there
are some things going on that we
don't like. Some people are conduct
ing themselves in a manner that is
distasteful to us. Some things are
happening that should not happen,
and some things are not happening
that should happen. And we are 60

that may not suit some. We have
been thinking for long time that a
little publicity would not hurt any
thing and might do something toward

bers of halibut boats operate there.
In ordinary weather there is no trou-
lie, but during storms a boat any
where near the line on the windward
side spells trouble. Down goes the
fisherman's hook to ride out the blow
and, as the anchor drags, it final
ly catches on the cable, and there
it holds. The chatting and pulling
wears off the insulation and grounds
the wires, which means a hurry call
for the cable ship Burnside.
After recommending that the fish
ermen use mushroom anchors, a type
shaped like the vegetable for which
they are named, that should not cut
the cable, without avail, the chief
signal officer of the cable service rec
that the section across the
halibut banks be taken up and relaid
in deep water.
1t is now far down cut of reach of
the longest anchor cable.

Basel, Switzerland. June $50 in

war which border on Switzerland
and some that are not at her door
passed laws forbidding imports of
various kinds, that the near future
holds out every prospect of voorhees,

Employers at Berne, therefore, al

or which their workmen later can
draw if necessity forces them to close
down their shops, or, what is more
likely, sharply curtail their output,
either for lack of market or for
want of raw material
The silk manufacturers Of Zurich
have thus raised million and quar-
ter of francs which it is expected will
so eventually to workmen now en-
ployed but who later will either be
unemployed or at work only on part
tine.
Likewise the silk manufacturers o1
Basel have already got into touch

The government of Switzerland, al

The government decreed that from

tobacco might be produced during the
next year only in quantity equivalent
to the total production during the
first seven months of 1916 or during
the first seven months of 1915, which
ever total was smallest. That means
q serious reduction in production,
for it not only spells five-twelfths

This is only natural though, be-
cause from the very start the Valley
people seemed to know that town

GEYSERS MAKING
EARTH RUM BILE.
KING" DAVIS OF SALTON SEA
SAYS 50.
w EST WINDS CAUSE
SHAKES EVERY DAY UP AT DA.
YIS' LONELY ABODE.
News From Queer Country Up on the
East Shore of the Sal
ton Sea.

Mud Geysers near the shore Of the
Galton sea and the little earth shakes
we have been having are Intimately
connected, in the opinion Of Captain
W. H. Davis, yclept the king Of
Salton Sea-" by his friends, who have
visited his island abode six miles east
of INLAND.
Winds from the west cover the
mud geysers with water, Captain Da-
MS explains; there are internal ex-
plosions somewhere in the bowels of
the. earth and in the valley the earth
sakes. They are not earthquakes at
all, he contends, in the proper sense
of the word. Earthquakes are caused
Iby the slipping of the strata in the
Iearth crust The small temblors in
the valley are Of volcanic origin, Cap
tain Davis contends. He says that
IUT in his section the arth shakes
every day, and every few days big
shake comes.
There are four of the geysers in
Captain Davis queer country, and
when not covered by the waters Of
the sea blow upon the land by west
wind, splutter and hiss and humble
and shake, like a real miniature vol
c, no, at times throwing up quantities
C mud and steam to height of fifty
G sixty feet. When the sea re-
cedes far enough by evaporation
there will be no more volcanic shakes
Il the Imperial Valley king" Davis
Iee intends.
Davis is engaged in the fishing bus
i! ass-seining mullet from the sea and
selling it at home and abroad His
delicious .nullet command a price Of
I20 cents per pound on the Los An
geles market when ordinary fish
l,'ing but fifteen.
These mullet, Davis states, are fresh
water fish, and may have been in
Itroduced into the sea in the pouches
Of pelican, flying from Volcano Lake
to the sea. The Alamo or New riv-
els also may have been the means
q getting the fish into the sea. At
any rate, there are millions of them
and they al increasiVg rapidly, de-
spite the increasing a.kilinity of the
huge lake.
Captain Davis has his home on an
island at the shore of the sea. He
at one time had his shack on the
Iwindward side of the island, but after
the first blow, or rather during the
first trying experience, he decided to
move to the leeward or east side of
his island refuge, because the winds
blew the water clear over his house
and drenched himself and mate and
household goods.
He is arranging for motor boats
to take the public from the shore to
another island a half-mile out, where
there is fine sandy bathing beach.
Ee already has a bath house built,
Iand has suits for rent.
Who knows but that Captain Da-
Wis is laying the Foundations of sum-
jmer resort for Imperial Valley folk?
Cool winds blow over the lake every
AFTERNOON and evening until the first
Icf August.
