With the beginning of the fourth
year of the terrible world war the var
lous combatants do not appear any
nearer exhaustion than a year ago
So far as resources in men and NUM-
tons are concerned there seems nc
end to the supply, and the conflict may
last for years. So far the toll of lives
has been prodigious, running into mil
lions, as many more have been main-
ed for life, thousands upon thousands
of innocent non-combatants, even wo-
men and children, have been sacrificed
to the Unsuitable war monster, while
the cost in treasure has run up into
figures beyond the grasp of the mag
ination. With the chaotic condition
of Russia that country fo- the present
at least, seems to have ceased to be a
factor among the allies, and Germany
enters upon the fourth year Of HOSTILE
ties in a better condition than at any
time since the war commenced The
collapse of the Russian offensive, and
even defensive, throws a greater bur-
den upon this country when its troops,
some Of whom are already near the
front, are modified and ready to take
their part in the gigantic struggle.

its resources. if reports are to be be-

Life insurance companies that have
written policies in this state are in
|creasing premiums two and three hun
|dred per cent on policies held by men
called to the army. This surely is en-
|couraging patriotism. Arbitrary in
cease of premiums may be legiti-
mate stroke of business, and, of course,
excess rates must be expected when
risks are extra hazardous. Service in
the present modern mode of warfare
| is certainly hazardous to the limit,
and men contemplating entering the
army must expect to pay higher than
those in civil life. But we know of an
instance where insurance was taken on
la young man already in the army. The
lpolicy was written at time when
war with Germany was inevitable,
and yet that policy holder has been
notified that his premium has been
jumped from $50 per 81 1000 to$100 per
thousand. Men drawing private's pay
cannot meet any such charge. Having
accepted the application from SOL
der at the lower rate the company is
suing the policy should stand by the
acts of its agent or be put out Of bus

Some funny people come to the sur
face in times of agitation, or at least
queer people who are responsible for
funny assertions. One mouth worker
during the late strike at Butte made
a statement to his fellow workmen
that capitalists and employers We're
responsible for the prohibition move
ment, they taking that attitude because
under prohibition these employers can
get more work out of their employees.
OF course this is an absurdity, when
one considers the financial standing
of the chief movers in the prohibi-
ton cause, springing from the brain of
one of those freaks who believe the
world Is out Of joint and can only be
made better by being run by an ire
sponsible mob. Yet the statement is
la stronger argument in favor of tem-
perance than anything that has ever
been advanced by the most enthusiastic
prohibition bug, acknowledging as ii
does that man is physically and men,
tally better capable Of taking care OF
himself, greater force for accom-
plishment, an all-around superior in
|dividual under prohibition than under
the old order of things, when liquof
was as free as incorporating you
had the price.

There is no town in the state, large
or small, that has displayed greater
patriotism than Wenatchee. The peo-
pie of that place are Americans
through and through. Not only has
the little city recruited full company
of cavalry for the army, but many in
dividual citizens have volunteered for
service in other units of the army and
navy. Recently the governor called
for the organization of force of home
guards to take the place of state guards
called into the federal service, and
Wenatchee is the first town to report
the complete enlistment of 100 men,

the county examining board that pass
es upon the physical qualifications of

physical examination should, so far as
possible, refrain from claiming other

when every man should be willing to
pay the debt he owes his country, and
the supreme debt citizen owes the

it in time of danger, and danger is GER

1t is four months since the United
States declared war against Germany,
and the country does not seem to be
any better prepared now than when
the momentous step was taken. 1t
looks as though they were incompe-
tency and inefficiency in every de-
partment of the government. Con-
gress is playing scurvy part in bick-
ering over necessary legislation, and
every step taken is SO deliberate and
hating that it looks as though it
would be a year or two before the
United States would become a factor
in the war. No wonder Germany looks
upon this country with contempt.
There has been altogether too much
talk and hip hurrah, and not sufficient

In these days when the world seems
topsy turvy, with almost every nation
Of earth locked in a deadly struggle
that seems without end, with unrest
and contention at home as we'll as
abroad, our own people divided, in
dustrial troubles everywhere, and a
leaven of disloyalty working in al
most every community, people are
prone to become credulous, If not
really hysterical, and almost any kind
of rumor, or report, started upon it's
sinuous rounds will find credence!'
The human family Is rather inclined
to fall for the sensational, and without
stopping to reason, or weigh the prob
abilities of the truthfulness or falsity
of a statement circulated by word Of
mouth, accept it no matter how I'M
reasonable, and pass it along, gener-
ally with additional trimmings. Take
for instance the breaking Of the irri-
CATION flume at this place last week.
That break could easily have been
and no doubt was, from natural causes,
yet a report spread down the val
ley, and was believed by many, that
the flume had been dynamited. At the
same time there was a hazy rumor
about in this section that stock was
being poisoned near Okanogan, and
yet there was no foundation for the
story. The nervous system of the
public is keyed up to high tension,
and so sensitive as to take kindly to
Impressions from circulated alarms
that would be pooh-poohed under nor
NAL conditions. Hence people should
exercise some caution starting rumor
on it's way, and be fairly certain of
some foundation before repeating all
they hear.
