OUR MASTERS POWER

OUR MASTERS POWER
Discussing the new law relative to
the censorship Of the press the American
Press says: :... s
The Postmaster General, Mr.. Burle-
son, is now established as car Of the
press. His powers are unlimited. He
may tell us what is the truth and decide
what is a lie. He may announce this
statement to be beneficial to the country
or that statement to be destructive Of
the government policy.
He may decide what is seditious ut
terance,- and say what statements are
fit or unfit for the public eye. He is
the grand high cockalorum OF the re-
public Newspapers and magazines
which in his opinion are seditious may
be denied the use Of the mails. When
this is done it becomes criminal of
tense to distribute them by any other
means. Newsboys, news companies,
express companies all come under the
pan. nus any pupiisllel - '1le ooun-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - The boy who clerked in bank and grabbed his monday lunch at walk around and get it" cafeteria, won't be lonesome when he joints the navy. Yes sir. the grab it and scoot" joint has been established aboard the big battlers of the United States navy. It is one Of the two methods evolved for the serv- ing of food aboard naval vessels, to save time. money and food.
 At the cafeterias between decks aboard the U. s. S. New York. black boards hang above tho counters show ing the bill of fare and also indicating what dishes a man should pick up on his way, for each item. The men choose what they want, then carry their trays to the mess tables, which have been set with cups. knives, forks. spoons, syrup, preserves and condi- ments.
 In the food container system, par ticularly adapted to smaller vessels of the older type, instead of the men forming in line each carrying a tray. the food is brought to the table in serving pans. pots and trays and the men help themselves. The new sys- tems we're worked out by Paymaster George k. Venable. of the U. $. .. New York.

WANTS SMEL TER ESTABLISHED
 FAIRBANKS

Returning from the Broad Pass country, where he has been prospect ing for several months. Jas. Heney arrived in Fairbanks recently, most optimistic as to the future of that sec ton and of the development of the whole interior. Mir. Heney believes that the greatest good that could come to the interior at this time would be shelter, and a government owned at that
 "In one little section alone" MT. Heney said, enough has been found to furnish enough work for a shelter. And then there is a great stretch of country extending over miles which carries minerals in such quantities that big shelter could be kept go- ing steadily"
 Besides the great quantities of ores there are many kinds of ore, all of which should be handled through a shelter. If such a smelter were es- tablished in Fairbanks, Mir. Heney believes that it would give the rail road such a tonnage as to insure it's being good paying proposition.
 Besides the ores from the Broad Pass country. Mr IIeney points out that the extent of the great copper and anthony properties on the upper Panama river regions, in the Nabesna and other places, all of which could be got to Fairbanks for treatment, at little expense.
 It might be the means of hurrying along the construction of railroad through the upper Panama valley also.
 Next to the shelter comes a central power plant, one that will furnish pow CT to the mines at a reasonable rate But first, in the opinion of MT. He ney, comes the question of a govern ment owned shelter. He believes that Fairbanksans should lose no time in boosting for such a proposition, for If the interior doesn't get it the coast may. and then the Panama valley would have difficulty in trying to land it.-Fairbanks News.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Watch your step, Americal Also your facial expression. Kaiser Willie has his eye on you, looking for signs of moral weakness. If he sees 'em he'll figure our morale is breaking uRaer the strain of war and that he's winning
 Scattered through every belligerent country fighting Germany, so the tale is told, via Paris and Berne the Won der Man of Wilhelmstrasse has sta. toned flock of goggle-eyed psycho logists with two ton brains.
 Watch the peoplel" is what they read when they got to their posts and opened their sealed orders. There are 1t is understood, a few samples of these heavy headed watchers in Wash ington, New York, Chicago, Denver San Francisco and here and there in other cities in the country.
 Maybe one of them is especially de tailed to watch the president If so, he must send some discouragingly cheerful reports to Berlin, for MT Wilson has spring in his step, ready smile, ruddy complexion, clear views on the situation and an unimpaired thinking apparatus.
 Reports from America to the "Psy- chOlogy Bureau" in Berlin are expect ed to influence the trend of Germany's diplomacy. If the brain students in American cities report: "Americans dragging feet listlessly, faces register blank expression, mental processes foggy and blunted, eyes flat and fishy"
 That will be Germany's cue to re double it's Tagging efforts to sink de mocraey with its submarines, to pat ent few more choice brands or frightfulness Commonly known fin Germany as shreehlichkeiD, claim vie tory and the whole of Europe and let 1t go at that.
 But if the watchers find us keyed up and capable, determined to sweer up the wreck of the Prussian machine with the kaisers moustache and use his nose for pick-axe to dig his DO litical grave, that will be a tip to Br'er Michaelis to use a rat.tan file on his raucuous utterances.
 q do not think" said Miss Harriet Underwood, lecturer on psychology at George Washington University, and "that these German observers will find any evidences of a weakened morale here. Our present attitude, should say is one of indifference. but believe that will disappear when the casualty lists begin to come in.
 "The American is, as people go, stable. So far we have had no great calamity to break down our morale When the crisis comes I have no fear but that we will respond in our nor. nal way"
 And that's the way several other of our own experts looked at it. They said, in short, that the kaiser's morale squad won't get any satisfaction out of it's observations in the United States until a certain torrid and justly ia nous locality is coated over with a thick slab of ice,

EDITOR THE TIMES:
You are right in claiming the
Pacific Northwest is like a vast
powder magazine, and II people
will allow themselves to be sway
ed by such matter as your editor
ials, can one wonder there is un-
rest among the masses? Your ar
ticle "Revolution-or Justice?" is
malicious SANDER, apparently
calculated to egg on the trouble
maker.
In many respects you are un-
truthful in what you say. This
applies particularly to the lumber
industry in which wages have kept
pace with price conditions and de-
mand, while camp-board, for one
thing, has been only slightly ad-
vanced.
ct is true, indeed, that the man
with a family has to figure close
ly, but these times call for extra
effort in more ways than one.)
You say nothing about the lack
of stability on part of employees.
Why don't you go after the fellow
who is constantly shifting from
place to place, making it almost
impossible to keep work going,
and preventing the few thrifty men
from making Roadway.
AS for the eight-hour day, that
might work II the entire nation is
put on that basis. But how on
earth are we to compete against

Our forest products have to meet
prices set by yellow pine Of the
south; white pine of the north, and
woods from Canadian forests In
the east, let alone California,
Idaho and Montana. Between
1907 and 1916 lumber prices de-
clined ruinously and aside from
few individual instances the lum-
herman has been up against a
losing game.
This spring it looked as if con-
ditions might improve, but the
market is weakening again in
spite of ship-building and govern
ment demand. So much for our
principal industry's prospect.
AS for general conditions out
here, it is we'll known Oregon and
Washington are already regarded
as extremely radical to the detri-
ment of their development.
