In that situation l.. A. Sneed the Fuel Administration told the Senate Investigat ing labor conscrption would be necessary
 The question is difficult though the principle that if it is right to conscrpt for fighting it cannot be wrong conscript the who must supply them with munitions is clear.
 The difficulty comes from getting a thorough un- derstanding of the situation with the To i'm pose conscription upon laborers who do not fully understand the necessity of it would mean strikes, riots and general dislocation of industry Further more if conscripon got to the point where the could be sent into the mines there would be no way to make them work indusrially and efficiently.

Luke McLuke Says

Why is it that the man with the worst judgment is always the most willing to be on it.
 Of course it is none of our busi- ness. But our idea is that there is enough simp spelling in this coun- try right now without teaching it.
 Many a man would have been single today if his wife's parents had not insisted on telling their daughter that he was a horse thief and a porch climber when he was courting her.
 Funny how many married bassos there are in the kaifs and how many married tenors there are in the homes.
 There are mighty few people who have nerve enough to say just what they think. But at that they are more numerous than popular

 A girl likes to spend four hours dolling up her complexion so she will be able to brag that she never has to do anything for it.
 A wife would rather her hus- band had her picture in his watch than accident policy in his pocket when he goes on a trip.

WIND AND DIVORCES

 Did vou ever hear of wind, just common accei oratad ozone as prolific of divorce! lhe law nowhere recognizes it as among the dVorce poo abilities but the Valdez Miner makes the Dald state men that go per cent. of the martial trouoie III tne Northern Territory is caused by the Alaska gales'
 The Miner explains
 The wife's nerves all shot to pieces ana she waons the kids sasses the old man and IS generalls ornery He goes and fills up with booze ana comes home and raises cain else seeks solace ~t some other female whose nerves are less ragged anu the next thing is the divorce court
 Valdez it appears, has two winds, the Lowe flVef and the Glacier and when tires the other begins Sometimes says the Miner they blow for three weeks at stretch with "al their pristine strength ane vgor."
 The reason why many Alaskans spend the win ter in the States is the Alaska cold but the Alaska winter winds.
 One of the why Seattle is so sweettem pered is the infrequences of heavy gales here windess country is eveu-tempered country, a wind swept district makes for nervous, irritable people
 Mother in Alaska doubt begins the day right but after the wind takes few swipes at her hail lifts her lid and wraps her skirts around her she + ready to debate any proposition with the first conner Men in the wind-swept Dakotas often so dis traught by the strain that they are likely b strike anybody in the face who says good morning to them
 Having ascertained the of most of the do nestle trouble, Alaska husbands and wives ought t be very charitable with each other. When Mothe' throws skillet at Father, he ought to laugh heartily the winds antics, and buy Mother bottle o tonic.

SOMEBODY'S BOY.

Philadelphia Record) "He is only a sailor" hear them
 say As they passed him by on the street
 one day Little they knew that his heart
 was true, As it beat beneath his suit of blue. He's somebody's boy who has heard
 the call, And is doing his bit to serve us all. He's not afraid of the widest
 storm He's not ashamed of his uniform. Don't scorn his clothes nor give
 him a look That you might bestow on slink-
 ing crook; He's Uncle Sans boy on land and
 sea, And braver lad there never could So treat him with kindnes and give
 him a smile; To speak of sailor is always
 worth while. Here's line to all sailors where'er
 they may be, At home, on the shore, or away out
 to sea. I will never forget you Ill always
 be true To the lad who is serving the Red,

POLITICIANS IN WAR

French politicians have always taken credit for saving Verdun from capture by the Germans when French military commander prepared to evac- uate the city. Believing the place unenable, after the capture of the outlying forts, and of little military value, the Generals in command the French armies had prepared to fall back a few miles to a better position where supplies could be brought up easily and the progress of the Germans toward Paris could be blocked effectively.
 But the politicians feared the effect of French retirement upon the public especially if it involved the giving of the supposedly impregnabe citadel of Verdun which France spent 40 years in fort- flying. So verdun held by the army, with its battle cry of They shall pass" although the politicians claimed credit for it.

SEDITION IN THE PRESENT TENSE
Steward POSt)


 As the disclosures of treachery double dealing suborning of follow each other from thu State Department at Washington. many of ma! give the matter little thought other than that whicl pertains to sedition in the past tense. We regart these things things that have happened, and per haps do not stop to think that they yet hap penng.
 Knowledge of sedtion in the past tense should make keenly alive to that which is going or about and may be assured there is plenty o it. Because it, because it does work in the open should not be lued by the false of security that it does not exist It is con tinuously at work with it's underground methods ant it's chief object is to hamstring the industrial powe of the American people, and especially that which devoted to industries The chief purpose is tt bring such industry to standsti and keep it standstill long possible.
 How better could the German government expent money from it's chest than in payment those who by pretext whatever in any considerable degree bring about the paralysis of war industry il this country? It is only by work that suc expenditure would be made direct bribe, as ; direct appeal to treason. The crafty is to mis lead the minimizing patriot to create the dssensio upon which he will take sides and stop work Tha IS the point-to get workers to stop. bring thing to a standstl, and incidentally to work such othe, mischief as time and occasion may suggest
