APPROVES SAFETY ORDINANCE.
Mason City Globe Gazette.1

lhdsoH lily Ilooe-SdZetle'I
The city council did good piece OF
safety first work in the automobile
ordinance they passed last week. 1t is
little less than criminal the way some
drivers dash along as people alisht
from the street cars and it is marvel
there has not been a serious accident
before this. The new ordinance re-
quires drivers to bring their cars to a
stop till the passengers reach the side
walk and the mayor purposes that the
ordinance shall be enforced.

If the railroads were required to
give bonds to cover the value Of goods
in transit they might be justified in
asking an increase of freight rates
from time to time. The public, how
ever, does not understand that the in
creases asked are to be divided pro-
portionately among the men who do
the work Of handling the stuff and that
the managers will content themselves
with the increased business.

CHANCE FOR CORN DOCTOR.

Rasputin is said to have derived
much of his power over the royal fam
lily of Russia from the fact that ne
could stop nose bleed. Thus do little
things enter into the fate of nations.
If he could have cured corns, now
there is no telling to what heights his
power would have mounted.

Louisville Courier.Journal,

 No one has criticised w. J. Bryan more severe. than the Courier Journal has criticised him. No on has deserved criticism more than w. J. Bryan. Dur ing the two years just preceding the public man in this country more often and egreg iously wrong than w. J. Bryan And yet it is w. J Bryan who says:
 "No sympathy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for patriotic utterances. They abuse free speech, and this applies to attacks upon the Allies as well as to attacks upon the United States. We can more allow Allies to be crushed than afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of Allies would throw the whole burden of the upon us. We must stand together and fight it through There only two sides to war. Every American must be the side of the United States"
 Because the Courer-Journal has often con demned MT. Bryan when wrong it is peculiar pleas ure to commend him when right.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE SEEKERS

 In an interview published in the Oregon Journal J. F. Weyerhaeuser of Tacoma, manager of extensive lumber interests. said: "I recently asked one of the l. w. w. leaders what his people wanted anyway !" We want your mill" the reply Asked what he would do with the mill after he got it nasmuch as none Of his organization knew how to run it the response was: That doesn't worry us we will have plenty of time to learn to the mill after we get it."
 For the sake of argument at least. we will admit that MT. Weyerhaeuser has property which he did not earn. By what right do the l. w. w. members who refuse to their employers for the advancement of the business in which they have en- poyment, seek ownership of employers property?

AT LAST
 FALLS ON BAND
 OF RECICIDES
Assassinators of Kin g and Queen Draga Are Finally Brought
 to Justice.

CORFU, Isuand of Corfu, Sept. 5. Fate has at last fallen on the band of military regicides who, some if teen months ago, broke into the roy al palace at Belgrade at night and assassinated King Alexander and Queen Draga
 Three high officers have recently tial. Three more are awaiting their sentences. seven officers, including a general have received life sen tences, and some thirty officers have received lesser sentences of from one to five years.
 While the outside world was deep ly shocked, the band of assassins enjoyed at home a certain immun- ity and even glory, for having rid the country of a dissolute ruler and his plebian gypsy Queen, for the name of Draga has been well known in the concert halls of Emolu before she had the luck to win a King and crown.
 Murder Clique In Control
 The murder clique remained in control of the army until after the present war, when Prince Alexander became regent owing to the age of King Peter. One of the first acts was to restore to active service a great number of officers retired by the murder clique. This resulted in the clique plotting his death, but the conspiracy was discovered.
 More than forty high officers were tried as a result of the conspiracy. Those who were condemned to die included Colonels Dimitrivitch, Milan ovitch, Toutzovitch, Lazitch. Lieut. Col Vesnitch. and Commander Vu- lovitch. General Popvitch heads the list of those condemned to life in prisonment. In the list are most C the band who carried out the mur der of Alexander and Queen Draga
