TWAS EVER THUS.

Two women were arraigned before
Recorder Maynard Friday, and fined
800 each on a charge of violating the
vice ordinance 1t was alleged they
were caught in a room with soldiers at
hotel re."-Macon news item
There is no desire to criticise the spirit
or action of authorities who would suppress
vice. 1t is a great problem, the social evil,
and one is loath to question the justice Of
means resorted to in dealing with the fallen
woman. But the incident at Macon forces
the thought that justice is seldom melted out
with an even hand in cases of this kind. The
man invariably goes free to continue un-
moested his immoral practices. In all prob
ability these men were the guiltier parties,
for it is reasonably certain that the women
were there by invitation of the men. 1t is the
sin of some man that seven out of ten of the
women who wear the scarlet are thus garb-
ed But the man, as in this case, is seldom
held amenable to either the moral or Grim
inal code. There never was a time when

GLORIOUS BONDHOLDERs.

Some years back there was thrilling
cry in the land against the plutocratic bond
holders. They would bet was vehement
ly shouted from the political rostrum-the
ruination of the country. Cartoonists who
had not been subsidized" represented
them as great bloated chaps, their huge
watch chains of SO gold pieces, their stump
tuous garments all checkered with the dol
lar symbol. That was not in the very re-
mote past. Now it is not an uncommon
thing for the day laborer and the wage earn
er to buy a government bond, a sight that
would have caused the old political dema-
gogue to stagger with surprise and amaze

Prices and the Remedies.
From the Macon (Ca.) News.


The price problem is put with admirable
simplicity and clearness in an editorial in the
Saturday Evening Post.
There isn't any economic mystery about
high prices. AS the Post writer sees it,
here's the situation in a nutshell: prices
have been rising because war tends to less
en- the supply of goods and service, and at
the same time increases the demand for
goods and services" When commodities and
labor are scarcer than usual, and both are
wanted in greater quantities than usual of
course prices jump.
But how about the remedy? The cur
rent idea is that the prices can be kept down
by government regulation. The Post has lit
tie faith in any such process. 1t suggests
''clear and simple corrective" as follows
Increase the supply of goods and SER
vices by greater exertion, and decrease the
demand by ceasing to buy and consume
things you can get along very well without"
In other words, it proposes the simple old
virtues of diligence and economy"
And isn't that the true solution? Price
fixing by public authority can help a little
1t is useful in certain cases. But in general
whatever control of prices is possible rests
with the public itself

DON'T MISS II

The story of "The Man Without Coun-
try" built as it is around one of the most
romantic periods of American history, is
known throughout the English speaking
world as one of the finest and loftiest bits
of patriotic writing to the credit of any
country. Without preaching, without bitter
denunciation, the story presents the tragedy
and pathos of a man cut off, through his
own disloyalty, from all contact with the
country which he had professed to despise,
and his subsequent lonesomeness and heart
hunger for the land of his fathers. The re-
version of the story in screen form is hap
Ply incident in the present crisis in Ameri-
ca. The story appeals to the highest patri-
otto motives, and should be powerful fac
tor in arousing desire for service in the
hearts of all who see it. 1t will be shown
! IN Dawson this week

M'ADOO'S AMBITION.

Some say McAdoo is not candidate for
the presidency. Others say he is. But the
real non-partisan admits that McAdoo is a
candidate, and doesn't think any the less of
McAdoo on that account. To hope to be
president is not against any eligible. McAdoo
is entitled to no protection in his present
offices because he entertains the aspiration.
On the other hand, as long as he holds his
end up and plays the game squarely he de-
serves no reprobation. There are men The
News would rather see president than Will
liam McAdoo. But William McAdoo has
the chance to change that opinion, if he will
just deliver in large and rapid quantities
the goods.

PILING IT ON.

Editor Herring, of the Triton Gazette
thus speaketh parable"
The editor who is told that the gov
eminent may be forced to curtail the
output of newsprint, and to cut down
his supply, necessitating an issue of re-
duced size, is not in a mood to open
with eager interest forty letters day
from government press bureaus, each
one offering him urgent matter for pub
hcation."
More is demanded of and less considera
ton is given the newspaper than any 9TH
er business in the world. The editor is the
nations ''good thing"-a free horse that ev-
erybody is riding mighty hard these days.
The truth is, with greatly increased rates
of postage, the probability of regulations
cutting down their earning power through
a reduction of size, and an unprecedented
demand for free space they're certainly pill
ing it on the newspapers these days.

In Her Old Dreams There.

There's bloom upon her beauty
In her old dreams there,
In the corner by the window
In her old armchair;
There is snow upon the ringlets
That were golden in a day
Ere the dreams were like the roses
That the years have blown away.
There's glow of something lovely
In her person as of old,
And the tune her lips are grooming
Is as bright as virgin gold;
There's a twinkle in her eyes vet.
And upon her lips a CLEAN
AS she sits beside the window
In her old, old dream.
All, little snowy lady,
Would that Time might never know
A moment you must vanish
AS the dust the breezes blow;
For it's such a gift of beauty
To behold you sitting there,
In the old dreams by the window
In your old armchair.

The refusal of the United States senator
ship by Speaker Champ Clark was not I'M

He could hardly be able to acquire great in

The canning factory now being erected
in Dawson will afford the farmers another
opportunity to diversity their crops and in

have a capacity of $4,000 cans a day, and

of sweet potatoes be needed, and this item
alone should mean the addition of thousands
of dollars to the profits of the farmers Plant

 The Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers and the Boston Braves will set surprising prec- edent when they play a twilight game tomorrow. The contest is due to start as o'clock and if it draws we'll may mean a turning point in the starting time of big league games. This action on the part of the major league managers is evidence that attendance this year has been awfully discouraging.
 Rob Allen has sent Casey Tuero, Hub Moran and Tony Brottem back to the St Louis Cardinals, from which they were borrowed. Even Dee Walsh has been placed in the majors. The Travellers hot-corner arist has been sold to Detroit, and will doubtless adorn the Tiger bench for the remainder of the season. The national commission has awarded Bob Fisher the Little Rock keystoner, to Rochester.
 Dixie Carrol, the fleet Chick gardener, has been turned over to Connie Mack, after trying to land with the Yankees. Carol is not strong for baseball, how ever. and may quit the game rather than play with the lowly Athletics.
