Mr.. Malone, who has just resigned the collectorship of
the port of New York because President Wilson has not
seen fit to turn his attention just now to equal suffrage
instead of devoting it to the war and the great questions
before the country, has an exaggerated opinion of the
greatness of Mr.. Malone. If he will stick his finger in the
bay at New York the full length of that member and
slowly pull it out again while watching the hole it leaves,
he will see how greatly he will be missed and what a
vacuum he will leave in American affairs by withdrawing
from participation in them.

There was one thing which worried

that was that as Bob seemed to grow

At times in spite of his twenty-five

SWEDEN MORALLY OPAQUE

Sweden is charmingly frank in her admission that sne
had been acting as a go-between for Germany ever since
the war started. She says England requested she send
no messages between Germany and America before the
latter entered the war, and that she complied with the
reouest. but that she had not been asked not to send mes
saqes as between Germany and other countries. Inc
peculiarity Of the situation is that Sweden does not seem
to recognize the gravity of her offense. She does not
seem to realize that she has all the time, according TO ner
own statements, been violating the laws OF neutralCy
most flagrantly. Another peculiar phase OF the affair is
the Way Argentine views the matter. She is disposed TO
be angry with Sweden for doing Germany underhanded
work for her. She evidently takes more seriously the acts
of the Swedish representatives in sending the German
message than she does the message itself, although tnlS
deliberately suggested the sinking OF Argentlne>s shlps
and the numbering of their crews. As to Argentine, what
she does under the circumstances is her own affair en-
tirelv. but with Sweden it is different so far as this coun-
trv is concerned. She has by her acts awakened a strong
diStrlst of her fairness and her ability or desire to re-
main strictly neutral. She has been getting large guam
titles of supplies from this country and is ANXIOUS TO get
more. These were furnished her on the promise they
would be used by her own people and not sent to Germany
Now that it is found she.is so-anxieus to serve her nelgn--
Dor t is quite natural that this country being at war with
Germany is not going to take chances OF any toodstu1fs
needed by it and it's allies finding their way through
Sweden to Berlin. The United States was playing talr
with her, dividing her breadstuffs even going on short
rations to do so. This will not be continued for the
American will refuse to cut his own supplies in order tol
divide with a country which in turn divides with our
enemies. Sweden has committed hara-kiri; she has stab
bed herself in the stomach.

One of the effects of the war has been to cut off a SUD-
ply of drugs made in Germany" Owing to their scar
city and consequent high price their use had to be aban-
doned and some substitute used instead. 1t is quite likely
humanity has not suffered on this account, and also like
y that it has been benefited. There may be more deaths

tween the two modes of passing on and out, there is but

1t is cheering news that the temporary bridge will be
ready for traffic within a couple of weeks, and probably
in time to be opened by the first day Of the fair. The con-
tractors have had many difficulties to meet and overcome,
one of which was the inability to get piling because the
Southern Pacific had to be depended on and as usual it
fell down. There has not been a minutes delay caused
by the contractors themselves, and they are working
double shifts now to get the bridge open for travel by the
time the fair begins.

Reports from Russia yesterday were to the effect that
civil war is probable. General Korniloff undertook to
make himself supreme dictator demanding that Kerensky
turn over to him all civil and military authority. Keren-
skv's reply was such as that patriot could be expected to
make, a prompt refusal together with a dismissal of
Korniloff from his position as head of the Russian armies,
and at the same time the taking of such steps as would
prevent another revolution, among them preparation to
punish the t~raitorous general. Russia is today instead OF
a government, a mob of an hundred and fifty million OF
people, having no guide, no government, no anything on
which they can lean save the one man Kerensky' ne OF
all Russia seems to realize what is necessary, and if in
time Russia finds salvation from herself it will be due to
the heroic efforts of this lion hearted but physically
weak man.

Whatever else may happen in the fight the Washing
ton suffragettes are making it is not probable a hunger
strike will be tried. In these days of food conservation
this would be looked upon as a patriotic move and win
general applause. Besides if prices go any higher a strike
will not be necessary to achieve a first-class article of
hunger.

A high Swedish official explains the action of the
representative of the government at Buenos Aires IN
sending German messages as those of his own country,
saying ut is impossible to imagine the government or any
of it's officials knew anything as to the message being
sent" 1t is pretty hard to imagine anything of the kind,
but they were sent and someone most certainly knew
what was going on. This is far from being the only
thing hard to imagine about the war and what it has
brought to light, but which at the same time is true.

The German food dictator announces that Germany
has a good supply of foodstuffs, and will get through the
year all right. This statement was given out before the
news about Swedens actions had become public and it
is probable the food dictator was not counting on the sup
ply from Sweden being at least largely reduced.

Late advices from Charleston are to
the effect that Governor Hatfield is
giving thought to the appointment of
a successor to Fred o. Blue, state tax
commissioner, who at the same time
as is well known, is charged with the
enforcement of the prohibition laws.
This is the most important Office in
the state government, and becoming
more and more so every year.
Upon first class authority it is
learned that 1t is a good guess, as the
situation outlines itself now, that one
of the following three men will be
named for the place: Charles E. Car.
rigan of Moundsville; ex-senator
Mont White. warden of the state pen
itentiary; and Thomas Townsend, of
Charleston. The latter held the place
at one time, succeeding Charles w.
