DISPOSITION Or SPIES.

During the past. three years, Or
ever since Germany launched 4
movement to ~enslave the world, he
United States has been reNed by the
h~igh-handed acts Of Teuton spies. IL
would require the dimensions ot a
large book to go into the details OF
the many plots which have been I'M
earthed in our country, and many
think the time has come when dras-
tic action should be taien-that Is,
instead of fines and imprisonment
where clear cases have been proven,
that the di%sturbers Of our nation
should meet the fate ever allotted 70
spies. Their fate might prove a de-
terrent to others.
Germany soon disposcs Of such
characters when found in her realms.
The word reprisa! has never been
popular in allied countries, but, as
I, matter of self protection. should we
show mercy to vicious men who
would not hesitate to act the part
Of Guy Fawkes and blow up the
Capitol should they have the oppor-
turity"
The New York Tribune, in this
connection recently said that the
news that spies or traitors in New
York Navy Yard 50 damaged two
Of the German liners converted int2
American transports that they had
to put back from sea when outward
bound need not surprise any one.
This neighborhood has been q fertile
soil for the propagation OF trcach"ry,
Among a limited, yet sufficient. por
ton Of Americans and near-Ameri-
cans there has been preached a com
bination Of sloppy sentimentalism
and vicious subtle sedition which was
fit to turn the heads Of any one
weak enough and patient enough to
listen.
Whether thosG now guilty were
spies or traitors may re left 10 Il
competent Secret Service to deter
mine. In al! probability, both spies
and traitors contributed TO the end,
RI is the common method Of the skill
ful spy to mould to his needs those
who have Sc,!ition in their hearts.
Such was tn" labor OF Major Andre.
ut West Point. for the famous eX-
ample in our history. /; will be as
1onishin~ il the same combination OF
snv and turucoat is not revealed here.
For both cases there can ne nus
one penalty. Spy and traitor must
alike be shot. There are different de-
grees Of guilt in spying n N Ifea-
son. There can be no question oi the
extreme guilt here. We are sending

TOO stringent to protect our men from

SOLDIERS FOR
LOGGING CAMPS

1t is announced that on January
/ troops from the signal corps will
be available for employment in log
ging camps where airplane spruce
is being cut.
Application for troop labor will be
addressed to the adjutant, spruce
production division, Yeon pudding
Portland, Ore.
Following are the working condi-
tons:
GAIL troops working in logging
camps" will work on the same
terms as civilian abor employed
therein and receive the same pay
for the different classes of work.
The government pay of each sol
der will be certified to the man
agement of the camp in which he is
working, on a prescribed form, once
each month, and this amount will be
deducted from the soldiers wages by
the logging camp management and
transmitted to the disbursing officer
of this office.
"There will be, ordinarily, one to
four enlisted men in each detach-
ment who are required for military
reasons and who will draw no pay
from the logging company. For SER
vice which they will render, their
board will be furnished free.
"Every soldier employed at log
cling operations will board with the
company and pay regular charges as
in the case of civilians. Officers
will make their own messing ar
rangements."
There doesn't seem to be a ne
cessity for this dangerous expert
ment, Secretary Wilson points out,
and we all believe, that if the lum-
herman ever become patriotic enough
and industrially fair enough to es-
tablish an eight-hour work-day with
decent working conditions there will
be no need for the CONSUMPTION Of
soldiers for the lumber industry
Nor, indeed, will it be necessary in
any other industry.
This scheme to work soldiers in
logging camps, whether they are
willing or not to accept such en-
ployment, will be breeder Of dis
content and a trouble maker

HEALTH INSURANCE
VICTORY is WON
Wage Farmers Sickness Benefit Bill
Big Issue in the Campaign

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 30.-(Spe-
cial) -Early enactment of work
mems health insurance legislation
IN MASSACHUSETTS is being freely pre-
dicted as the result of the re-elec-
ton of Gov. Samuel w. Mccall.
In the campaign Gov. Mccall laid
particular stress upon health insur
ance " to relieve our working men
of the loss of pay and of anxiety
resulting from sickness" as the chief
measure in his immediate legislative
program. In his address to the Re-
publican State Convention recently
he said, Similar measures have been
adopted by the greatest nations in
the world and have proven their
beneficent results" First import
ance was given to this proposal in
the Governors appeal for the sup
port of progressives and of labor.
"These are critical times" voters
were reminded. Emphasis was Civ
en- to the need of protection for
wage-earning men and women not
only to aid in the war but also to
augment the vitality of the states
industrial and social order"
The special legislative commission
appointed by Gov. Mccall two years
ago to investigate health insurance
reported favorably. This legisla-
ton was strongly recommended by
the Governor at the beginning of
the last session. But the entrance
of the United States into the world
war made it appear to some mem
bers of the legislature advisable to
postpone action. The Governor,
however, urges that this measure
be dealt with ''in the near future"
His reelection on this issue is
being taken as an assurance that
Massachusetts will be one of the
first states to protect her wage earn
ers in this way against the poverty
and restitution caused by sickness.

JURY GIVES 100000
AS STRIKE DAMAGES

FORT SMITH,, Ark, Dec. IA
federal jury has awarded 100000
to the Bache-D enman syndicate,
which sued the United Mine Work
ers for alleged damages, charged
that their properties had been in
jured to the extent of $2,250,000 as
the result of a strike in Sebastian
county in 1914. Suit was started
under the Sherman antitrust act.
Under this law the syndicate is en-
titled to three times the award. The
strike was caused by the syndicate's
attempt to establish non-unionism.
The decision, it is said is the first
time a judgment has been obtained
against labor union, and affects
the funds of the United Mine Work
ers as an organization. This case
differs from the Danbury hatters'
case in that there the judgment was
obtained against the individual mem
bers and not against the union as
such.
Miners officials announce they will
carry the case to the United States
supreme court, if necessary.
The miners charge that the ver-
dict was influenced by Judge Elliott,
who called the jury before him after
they had been deadlocked and de-
clare that conspiracy charges against
the miners had been fully proven
and that it had existed since 1898.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. LIN
local newspaper Louis w. McKer-
nan, attorney for the Bache-Denman
syndicate, which has been awarded
damages against the United Mine
Workers, in an Arkansas federal
court, gave this naive description of
non-union shop:
''In the early part of 1914, on ac-
count of the cheaper cost of produc-
tion on a non-union basis, the compa-
MES decided to operate on the open
shop basis, which means that all
miners applying should be employed
regardless of whether or not they
are members of the union"

Kitchener as to three years duration was ridiculed.
 Ut has resulted, however in having every available man called to the eolors and has caused great confusion in the filling of medical offices with compe- tent men, as in boards of health, staffs of hospitals, etc., as we'll as producing great hardship in portions of the United Kingdom from a lack of physicians, and placing great burden on the older an1 disabled members of the pro- fession unfitted for military service.
 "The Council of National Defense at Washington, very wisely determined at the start on what might be termed a selective volunteer system, by which each hospital was asked to indicate how many of it's staff could be spared and yet be capable of thorough and efficient work. That no interne should be taken until he had completed a years work in some hospital. Thus insuring more thoroughly trained men for the Medical Officers Corps, and at the same time not interfering with tLe normal running of the hospitals. That the faculties of our medical schools should not be depleted so as to prevent the carrying on of their work, and medical students were urged to con- tinue their studies. That medical men in isolated districts, where their loss would mean ahardship to the surround ing community, should not be called. ]"
 "The rem oval of large force of medical men to foreign shores, esti. mated at ten thousand to each million of troops, will of necessity throw a large burden on those who remain, especially when great numbers of troops, incapacitated on the fields of battle, return for care and treatment, but with the wise provisions that have been made and the patriotic devotion of the medical profession, it is certain that neither our military nor civil population will suffer from lack of ade- quate medical attention.

Know Your Business.

In the American Magazine James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation, says:
 Any one wishing to acquire compre- hensive knowledge of his business or of any, specific subject must not try to store his mind with endless details about other things. For example, I have tried to learn all could about the steel business in it's mining, manufac- turing, selling and transportation branches, but to enable me to carry business information in my head 1 have not attempted to retain in my mind minute detailed data about poll tics or baseball.
 Absorb what to you is essential that is, everything pertaining to your field of endeavor. Abolish from your mind nonessential, extraneous sub jects. No human brain has cells enough to store up all the facts about all sub jects under the sun. Don't clog your brain cells with impedimenta. Feed them only with vital material, with things that will enhance your useful ness in your sphere of activity by in- creasing and improving your stock of necdfuI fnforfnatfon.''

Pattern Coins.

Pattern coins and trial pieces are now guarded with the greatest care by the mint authorities, and the govern ment does not permit them to be own ed by private persons-that is, those patterns made since the year 1887. Before that time the government sane toned the sale of certain specimens, but when it was discovered how many of all the different varieties were in the possession of coin collectors an at tempt was made to confiscate them wherever found, but this resulted in failure.
 A twenty dollar brass trial piece struck from dies of a twenty dollar gold piece at Denver mint was the first coin of any denomination to be made there. It was presented to the State Histor- ical Society of Colorado and at once took it's place among the many rare trial pieces and pattern coins which are nowadays highly prized by coin collectors.-Magazine of American His tory.
