WHO PAYS THE PIPER!

Apparently the young ladies who
worked so faithfully and so strenu-
ously for the aid of Kaiser Won and
his "co-owner' in boosting the circul-
alton of the Gunnison Empire about
a year ago. are going TO be finally
and entirely left out in the cold. Won
has fed, and the "cO-owner" has the
beautiful Mitchell car for his own
use. We don't know about the graf
onola, the diamond ring. the Liberty
bond, the ten per cent commission,
with various and sundry other prizes
which were dangled before a dazzled
public. but the car is in plain sight.
II is generally believed that be-
tween two and three thousand dollars
were extracted from the pockets of
the people, during their fake contest,
tho goodness only knows where il all
went. Some of course went into the
Empire plant, $500 went TO help pay
for the car. Kaiser Won skipped with
amounts yariously estimated at from
thousand TO tao thousand, and that
after borrowing every red cent he
could from friends about town
Meanwhile, the girls, who did the
work seem elected to hold the sack.
It's q shame!

THE WEDGE BEGINS TO SPREAD

The entrance Of America into the
war corresponds to the action Of
steel wedge. First the thin edge,
now beginning to bite, but behind that
edge comes the driving and killing
power Of one hundred million Of free
people. firmly united in the one thot.
As Ex-presidcnt Taft remarked last
week in n speech at Waterbury, Conn,
"If il takes ten years and 10000. 900
men, we are going TO wipe the Ger
man Empire Off the map. Our only
concern should be that we do not
underestimate the job"
Some arrangement should be made
about taking the hose carts to a fire.
At the blaze yesterday, a dozen or
two autos and several hundred peo-
Pile arrived, stood around and swore
or wrung their hands, with no hose
cart in sight for 4 long period. It
ought to be someone's duty. or paid
privilege to get those carts to fire,
provided a volunteer auto or wagon
does not happen along.
