A sweet time is in prospect for the gentlemen" who were responsible for the hiding of 10,000,000 pounds of su- gar at Buffalo. It may be that they will be able to convince Food Admin istrator Hoover of the necessity for storing away such a quantity of this much needed article, but We doubt it.
 The circumstances surrounding the case would indicate a we'll thought out plan to profiteer on large Scale. The federal authorities no doubt will go to the bottom of the case and win find those responsible, and when they do, there can be no question that an ex- ample will be made. The opportunity to convince the people of the United States that the administration at Washington means business Is toe great to let it slip.

beDelNe DRAFT IN jAIL,

It is remarkable iu view of his re- marks in his own defense, that Earl Crissman should agree with the at- torney for the prosecution that a twelve month sentence in jail was about right in his case before the Jury. He hurled metaphorical bricks at the government, declaring that the war was purely a capitalistic affair; em- phasized his delicacy of feelings, which would not permit him to kill an. other person, and wound up by preen. ing himself on his intelligence - a mentality of such high degree that it made it impossible for him to take orders from an officer who was SUI perior to him 'only in brute force. Crissman did not register for draft, if we are to credit his words, because he was averse to the degrading influence cs the army
 We suppose, by virtue of his ex- pressed willingness to langulsn "at least a year" in prison, that he cOnsid- CTS he will be thrown among mental superior and that his aesthetic taste ard superfine sensibilities will lind much upon which to found reconcilia- tion for twelve months of inactivity.
 When a man is canary colored from armpit to armpit, forward and back, he can find justification for almost anything. Crissman only mildly re- sented being registered for draft be- fore he was sent to jail. He his fig ured, naturally, that so long as he is behind the bars in this country, his precious (to him only) hide is safe. Like a lot of others, he believes that if he can dodge service for a year, he can avoid duty in the trenches.
 It is possible Judge Cushman did not consider this view of the case. It is likely that, had he believed Criss- man was seeking to avoid trench duty by spending his time in jail, the term would have been a short one and the yellow streak would have been given an opportunity to become red in ser vice.-Tacoma News.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM BURNING
 AEROPLANE
(By United Press)

London, Nov. ?. - After one of the most miraculous escapes of the war, Major Bannatyne, D. s. O., is today recovering from his injuries in the Cireencester hospital.
 While flying alone at a height of more than 1000 feet, his engine caught fire lie headed the machine towards the ground. Within a few minutes the flames reached his feet. He climbed out of the seat and then crawled along the body of the plane toward the tail, while the blazing plane plunged toward the earth. The flames reached him again. He swung himself off the frame and hung by his hands under the machine - now a mass of flames. Just before the glow. ering wreck struck the ground Ban natyne dropped. He fell into a plowed field and was picked up suffering from a broken arm, scores of cuts and with all his hair scorched to crisp. The machine crashed into a shed and both were consumed by the flames.

Tacoma and other Sound cities, of course, will profit by SeattIe's infamy. A state bordering hysteria already has begun to be manifest. The widest stories of mutilation are being writ ten out and gossiped about. Seattle soon will see the result of an exodus. Decent people will shun her as they would the plague, Business will dwin. dle as the population decreases - but until then the plunderers, the gamb- lers, the bootleggers and the moral lepers will continue their fell endeav- ors. There will be no improvement until the wreckers begin to see the effects of their evil work in declining financial returns.

It is likely that Senator Lafollette is at heart a German sympathizer, but there is no question but that he has greatly strained his chances of future preference by endeayoring to paddle lis peace canoe against the current of public sentiment. Lafollette simply 1verestimated his hold on the public, and he now, doubtless, sees the mis- take he made, but is too bull-headed to acknowledge it. At any rate, his political goose is cooked to a~cinder, and he should substitute "" for the last four letters of his name.-Ex.

Gompers Sends Assurances of
Labor's Stand to Kerensky

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has cabled to
Premier Kerensky a resolution adopt
ed by the Minneapolis conference of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy, pledging the support of
the American working class to the
New Russian democracy.
The message follows:
"Kerensky, Premier Russian revolu-
tionary government, Petrograd, Rus
sia-At a tremendously important ma
tional conference three days Of repre-
sentatives of labor and socialists at
Minneapolis, Minnesota, September g..
6, 7, called to solidify working class
and all people of United States among
other declarations, the following was
adopted with great enthusiasm and
without dissenting voice or vote.
We address ourselves to tee:
Sons of liberty in all lands are now
watching with heavy hearts the des-
perate contest of their brothers in
spirit and arms now battling on the
plains of Russit
Brought New Hope
Born amidst the thunders of the
greatest war of all times, the great
Russian democracy brought to all
lovers of mans freedom, new hope
and inspiration. Assailed on all sides
by terrible and insidious foe, now
spreading death and devastation in
its ranks and now masquerading as
friend and penetrating under the guise
of revolutionists into the very coun-
ellis of the revolution, the Russian
democracy is now passing through the
most critical time in it's struggle for
existence.
"The American alliance for Labor
and Democracy sends greetings to
the fighters for liberty in Russia as
brothers in the same cause. The aims
of the Russian democracy are our
aims; its victory is our victory and its
defeat Is our defeat; and even the
traitors that assail the Russian de-
mocracy likewise assail u.s. In the
conflict for the liberty of Russia, the
liberty of America is likewise at
stake. Every Russian soldier who
faces uniinchingly the enemy in the
field is striking blow for the liberty
of America.
"The American alliance for Labor
and Democracy, representing every
loyal thought Of American labor and
American socialism, pledges and dedi-
Gates the American working class to
the support and service of the Rus
