THE DEBATE IS CLOSED
WAR is ON IN EARNEST

1t most certainly is to the
credit of EMira's citizenry that
since tthe entry of our country i'm
the Great European struggle they
have worthily decided that THE
debate dis closed and hence-fon,th
everyone is endeavoring to do a
bit to help win the war.
Dissenters we have had in Ex-
ira as has every town i'm the
country prior to the war and each
one has had his reason. Some
were peace at amy price, Others
pacifists, others middle of thb
readers. i.
They were honest persons with
honest views, and it was given to
nobody to find un-Americanism in
their make up.
Many Extra citizens worked for
peace to the last moment of peace.
And now they are working for
peace by working just as assidu-
ously to- win the war. for it is a
condition of lasting peace thai
the military autocracy in Gre'
many be humilitated before the
German people, to the point where
this branch of the human race will
have NO MORE OF SUCH RUL
ers. -.
Extras citizens, NO matter O.
what racial extraction, are nov
fully aware of the real issue o
this war. and are doing thei
best to aid i'm tine good work be
fore them. 1t must be done, ther
is no side-stepping or pussy foo
ing chance lefh We are square
ly against the issue.

JURORS

Because of the serious illness
of Peter Robertson, one of its
members, the jury which has been
trying the Camp Lewis condemna-
ton suit was discharged Tuesday
by Judge Clifford.
A new Jury panel has been
called and will report in court
Thursday, when the big con-
demnation case will be resumed
by starting all over again with
the examination of jurors.
Robertson, who lives at Buck
ley, was taken i'll Saturday, suf-
fering from a severe cold. His
physician declared Tuesday that
it would be impossible for him to
go on with the trial of the case.
1t was thought for a time that
arrangements could be made for
going on with the big case with
IL jurors, but attorneys for the
property owners would not agree
to this.
The jury discharged. Tuesday
has returned three verdicts in the
condemnation, making awards
almost identical with the county's
appraisals Of the property in

In the Editors Mail, Henry

Acres of land were plowed up
last year, most of them far too late

TELEPHONE GIRLS

girls for work. When the first
shift was ready Tuesday morning,
68 girls had been summoned.
Others were called to the switch
boards during the day, and 1t was
estimated that 100 would be at
work by Tuesday night.
Linemen have not gone back to
work, altho summoned Tuesday
morning. They decided to wait
another day, to be sure that the
telephone company would give the
girls fair treatment.
Miss Hazel Holmes, president of
the hello girls, was one of those
who returned to work Tuesday.
James Sutton, chairman of the
striking linemen, was also sum-
moned. This was taken by the
strikers as an indication that the
company was living up to its
agreement in full, and that there
would be no discrimination.
Lots Of Work Ahead.
The sudden ending of Tacoma's
strike came after telegraphic Or
ders had been received from tels-
phone headquarters in San Fran
cisco advising local managrs in
the Northwest to recede from
their former attitude, it was re-
ported.
There are 1900 orders on hand
at the local telephone station for
new telephones, removals and
changes. Many cases of "trou-
Bile" await the linemen.

Bootleggers
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
l have been reading your paper
since the first sheet came from
the press and am always interest
ed and sometimes amused at some
of the letters / find in The Edi-
tors Mail.
One reader seems somewhat in
dignant at the prosecuting att0r-
ney's office for allowing a man to
protect his name by substituting
another in its place, and wants to
know why, and you say you are
unable to enlighten him.
Now there are some other things
We can't understand.
Why are citizens arrested and
thrown in Jail simply because
homemade berry juice is found in
their cellar?
Doctors are hailed into court for
issuing prescriptions for booze and
druggists fined for filling them.
Yet when some woman with a
record of pleading guilty and serv-
ing two terms in the county jail
as a common bootlegger is arrest
ed, she is allowed to send her at
tOrney in her stead to plead guilty
for her and aItno she drew 80
days from Judge Graham she has
never presented herself for serv-
ice and openly boasts that not
policeman in the department dares
to arrest her, and the strange part
of 1t all is that she gets away
with it.
refer to the case of May
Thompson and get my information
from the court records. II Judge
Graham can't enlighten you, ask
Petit, he knows. We will axiously
await a reply.
Hopefully yours,
