"WRITING BY PLATOON"

The chorus of German criticisms of President Wilson's message made doubly entertaining by the recent revelations the practice of the German cen sorshp of dicating the exact editorial treatment of important questions The similar tone and trend of the comments leave little question that the gov ernment always on the job, sent out to the German editors one of the familiar telegrams somewhat in this form:
 No S-S22S Comment on Wilson message must emphasize brutal nature of demands and impossibi- ity of discussing AlsaceLorraine. Stgmatize strong y impudence of brutal dictator trying to deceive the masses Accuse him of trying to hinder Brest-litvosk negotiations and using Russia for entente purposes Might be well to emphasize democratic character German Reichstag as to his criticism of cer' tain elements Favorable comment on any part ol his message prohibited

 Already Railroad Director McAdoo's action hak resulted in ending freight congestion at several i'm portant points.
 It it of the very highest importance to observe and record the results of Mr McAdoo's autocratit action. If the policy solves the vital problems of ou greatest industry, it should be promptly applied to other enterprises than railroadng
 There is sufficient evidence showing that the making of ships is not proceeding with satisfactory speed There boards and corporations and there are heads of departments stuck their own indivd ual opinions the natural result is congestion and lack of one clearcut plan at which all concerned could be aiming.
 There is a somewhat similar condition in the fuel and food administrations. fuly-empowered boss and team work needed in pretty much every de partment of the nations business.
 In the matter of shipbuildng why not put in an experienced, practical manufacturer like Henry Ford for instance, the absolute boss and back him with all the legislation he requires to boss shipbuilding from timber standing in the forest the compet ed vessel sailing forth on her first voyage?
 There will be congestion, confusion, decided weakness in the food and the fuel administrations regardless of the abilities of Hoover and Garfield unless the bosses these jobs given full author ity to boss and when the President forward ask additional legislation bearing such boss ism Congress should not hesitate to grant it.

 how hard, And the light will come rifting
 through. Cheer up, little man, for the world

 less night Will glitter and gleam for you, Build well the walls of your halls,

According to report. Charles E.

It s foolish of Charley that his action deserves little attention.
 MT Heron is alright Republican politician, to be sure, but not booster for the Governor. Provided always that he wants to retain the Governor in office From experience tell Heron that for Republicans throw bouquets at the Governor has the effect the Democrats that hot water has on rat. Both have fits.
 However, it may be that Mir Heron them and will recommend the appointment of a blue Republican to the office If he convince the Pres ident that there no Democrats in Alaska for the office: Governor Strong having been tried and found good average; will stand good chance of securing another term.
