MUST REAP WHAT 1T SOWED

There was a great mass meeting IN stockholm SUNDAY
night, so great that several overflow meetings were he'll
and these to voice the sentiment of the people OF Sweden
in protesting the course of the conservative government
in acting as Germanys messenger, and demanding 1t take
such steps as to convince the world that the Swedish
people are strictly neutral. No doubt this is true as to
the masses, but Sweden as all other countries, has an
element that is after the dollars first, last and all the
time. An element that would j~eopardize the peoples food
supply in order to accumulate the coin. The Swedish
masses are no more to blame for this, than is the average
American for the hold-ups of the American grabber.
While the masses are not to blame for violations OF
neutrality, for specializing in food stuffs sent them from
America; the government is. 1t has connived at the
feeding Of Germany on American supplies, has violated
it's pledges to this country that food supplies furnished
Sweden should not be sent out of that country; has secret
ly been the ally and friend of Germany, and has dellber-
ately taken advantage of the ~courtesles extended 1T by this
and other governments, to injure them. The Swedish
government has been Caught in the act with the goods on
it." It has brought upon the Swedish people the dlstrlst
of the allies, and for them worse than all, the dlstrust OF
the United States.
Just now a commission is here from Sweden for the
purpose of purchasing supplies, among them lz,oOo,oOO
bushels of wheat. This commission states Sweden is now
on the shortest bread rations OF any country IN Europe,
which is sad, but at the same time emphasizes the fact
that she has been sending her food supplies to Germany,
and hence the shortage. Now she wants America to make
GOOD this shortage, in other words to assist her in supply
inc Germany with food. The American people are called
upon to conserve food, in order to. assist the allies, out
there is no visible reason why they should STINT them
selves to assist Sweden in her bootlegging job OF feeding
Germany. 1t will take more than promises from a dls-
credited government to remove Americas distrust, and
until this is removed, not a pound of food stutfs should
be sold to Sweden.

Wherein is there any difference between the soldier
who refusing to fight deserts, and the American workman
whose services are equally important to the country, who
goes on strike and deprives the government of materials
needed for carrying on the war? There is a distinction
without a difference, that is all. The strikers in the ship
yards who deliberately hold up the completion of ships
are directly aiding and giving comfort to the countrys
enemies. That is all there is to it. They are morally as
openly gives material aid to Germany, or the soldier who
deserts. The ~shipyard strikes are reasonable, and the
strikers should be punished as their ~traitorous acts de-
serve. They are deserving in the face Of the enemy, and
private gain. If nothing else is done all those exempted
from draft on account of Occupation" should be given
their chance in the army. Perhaps the Striking propen-
.sity" might prove a valuable attribute and if the enemy
was called employer" they might do. some spectacular
fighting.

O U MUZZLE THEM

Those misguided women who imagine they are working
for the enfranchisement of their sex by %picketlng the
white house and making themselves generally ridiculous,
if they were capable of learning anything could ~protltably
study the returns from Maine in its recent state election
where suffrage was voted upon. Suffrage was beaten two
to one, and this with hardly a fifty per cent vote cast.
Those in favor of suffrage did not even take the trouble
to 90 to the polls. That much of this apathy was due to
the actions of those women at Washington is no doubt
true. The male voter could find nothing in the course OF
these advocates of the measure to justify the granting OF
it. Naturally they were chary about giving the ballot to
women having the example of the unsexed bunch at the
nations capital. The friends of the movement back cas-
should find some means to muzzle the lady oxen that are
trying to tread out the corn, for they destroy more than
they shell out.

Work on the big bridge is being rushed in the attempt
to have it ready for business next Monday. The ferry is
loaded to the guards every trip, and there is part of the
time a long waiting line. 1t is doing splendid work, those
running it getting full capacity out of the plant. 1t will
be little short of a calamity, if the opening of the bridge
should be delayed so that it cannot be used during fair
week. Should this happen the ferry will be literally
swamped. The contractors are doing everything in their
power to have the bridge opened Monday next and barring
unforeseen difficulties, expect to win. They surely have
the best wishes of everyone in the city back of them, and
on top of this the especial prayers of Secretary Lea Of
the fair board.
