REFORMS AT HOME.
AHAH
DESPITE the war and the effort put behind it to
bring the conflict to a successful conclusion, there
should be no cessation of work for the good Of
state or city.
While everybody is occupied with a great nat
ional or international issue, the observation-disclosures
in the state think they have a splendid opportun-
ity to get in some underhanded work.

The forces of political and domestic reform
have won victory after victory in the last halt
dozen years; and their onward march must not
stop. During the war, in fact, is a fine time to nut
forth further reforms, because the minds OF tho
people are trained toward national service; the
state is looked upon as the supreme thing in life
and it is easy to attract attention toward essen
tials to it's progress. There is much less lethargy
in war times than in normal times,and this OF
itself should hearten the forces that are forever
active for the best interest of all the people.
Before this war is terminated there are epoch
making reforms in store-there is scarcely a
doubt of it. And they will probably remain after
peace is restored.

The Pacific coast is the ideal section Of the
country for paper mills, it being possible to pro-
duce the products there cheaper than in Canada,
With water power running to waste along the "a
ci6c, and plenty of timber suitable for paper MAX
hight would seem that nothing were easier than
the development of the paper-making industry
along the Pacific and thus helping to break the
obnoxious grip of the trust on American news
papers. There is no reason why we should be
setting so much high-priced print paper from Can
ada when it can be produced on the Pacific coast
cheaper and better.

It has been suggested that German prisqEerFss
of war be transferred from Great Britain to
America in order to relieve the allies Of the burden
of Transporting their feed. It's a good scheme. 1t
may become necessary to bring the women and
children over here, but if it does, We'll take then
too.

We like the part Of the naval consulting board
plans which calls for aggressive attacks upon the
bases from which German submarines issue out
Germany's naval outlet is so small that 1t seems
some methods could be devised to bottle up the
subs.
Cottage cheese stands wonderfully high as a
body builder, the experts tell us. Now if life were
a continuous party, there would be more OF it, as
cottage cheese seems to be a regular standby al
sociables, picnics and the like.
The billions of money the United States arr
lending the allies will be spent in this country fol
flood and war supplies. That means work fol
everybody left at home and good money for YOU
work. Well!

Anyway, Portugal is sure Of getting $7,OOO,OO(
a year out of the war, England having contracted
to pay that amount for the use Of sixty internet
German vessels seized by Portugal when 1t de-
clared war.
AAAAA
OF course Wilson like the rest Of us, would b
Gid to see the German people send Bill to Nick
Though he's too wise to bank on their doing 20.
