fought in the halls of congress any

the CONSUMPTION bill last week all Of
the machinery at the command of the
government was put to work prepare

General John ]. Pershing. who led
the expedition into Mexico to capture
Villa, will lead the first American d.
vision into France. He has orders to
precede the division and will sail with
his staff at an early date.
Orders for the expedition to France
were made public amid excitement.
The program was urged upon the couIr
try as a spur to enlistment in the reg
ular army and a wholesome tip to the
men who are to be drawn by selective
draft that they are not to be taken for
camp service, but are to go into action
on European fields as fast as they
can be whipped into shape for battle
service.

NECESSARY?

LAS usual, the taxpayers of the
state are paying little attention to
public matters now" says the State
Capitol Record in an editorial this
week When they should be on
their guard more than ever, they are
neglecting their duty. Every effort
should be made to hold down public
expenditures, but it is safe to assume
that not one taxpayer in thousand
knows whether his county or city is
letting contracts now at prices that
are from 25 per cent to 100 per cent
above estimates on work that is not
absolutely necessary.
Whatcom County citizens, some of
them. are aware that the commits
sioners last week awarded 1874, 900
contract on a job on which the est
innate of the engineer was S177.000.
And there is grave question of
doubt as to whether. in these times
of heavy war" taxes, the hard-sur-
face road program of the commits
sioners can be called absolutely nee
essary."

THE SAFETY

Just a handful of years ago, the
Twelve Years Back column tells
us. a social bicycle club was being
organized in Lynden. 1t is a mat
ter of regret that the expensive aut-
omobile. in its rise to the position of
a necessity in the home of those who
are able to read magazine advertise
ments. has pushed aside the pop
ular;ty of bicycle riding. To start
out on a clear morning astride the
old safety" for an hour or two OF
brisk pedalling had more of health
and sound enjoyment in it than a
wear of bounding on back seats in
automobile tours.

A GREAT STORY

When we first read THE Man

reader days. we blubbered openly and
unashamed. And today. when We
are ranked we'll toward the rear of
the CONSUMPTION ages, we found that
we couldn't get over the story of
Philip Nolan without downing a very
large lump that kept obstrueting our
throat

of patriotism that appears in this
weeks Tribune. Won't you read it
yourself, and then go over it again
for the children?
