OUR APOLOGIZE


r>HE Saylor-Hickey Democratic Labor Clique Is work
i ing overtime in an effort TO itself Last even
ing II ammed through the Carpenters and Joiners Union
a resolution crclzing The Evening Journal for having
dared to call book John Il. Hickey the soft-handed
walking delegate for that union and Of the most
pernlcousy active members OF the Democratic Cancer
Clique that is making easy living at the expense
of Woodworking and sefrespectng union wage-earners
In addition to crltczng The Evening Journal for hay
ing dared to criticize Hickey, the Carpenters Union
the guidance Of the SayorHickoy Clique decided
that an apology is due from us to Hickey.
That reminds Of two celebrated apologies which
were demanded and made In the past
In one instance had said to another man;
"You are not ut to carry swiil to swineW
Mutual friends intervened, and It decided the
offender must apologize Reluctantly he agreed to do It,
At the time appointed the offender faced the ag-
grieved person the presence Of Witnesses and said
'Ir Jones' several days told you, In the presence
of these gentlemen that you not m to carry swill
to swine Since then have decided that did you an
Injustice l wish to inform yOu after due delibera-
ton that have the conclusion that was wrong,
and that It is my present firm conviction that you are
nt to carry swill to swineI
And there is that other classic apology which had

progress through the crowded streets Everyone was
cheering except grm-faced old rishman who had suf-
fered some injustice at the hands OF the BRUSH uoNer-
ment Both his heart and his mind were filled with
bitterness.
'Three cheers for the oueenr yelled the enthusiastic
Englishmen.
"D-n the Queenm yelled the embiltered Irlshman.
He was arrested summariy by London policeman
and arragned in due tlme before London magistrate
That official was impressed by the rugged honesty and
sincerity OF the old from the Land Of the Shamrock
and was disposed TO be lenient

man like you TO JAIL If will let you go, will you prom
se me never again to say, D-n the Queen?"
''Yes your honor" old Pat replied. I'm never say
It again. I'll see her In III frstr'
And now we hope that both Hickey and his union
viii be satisfied fully with apology.

WALSH INSULTS THE PRESS.

rrHE Democratic lack Of faith in the honesty and

parent during the war.

war news except such survived the filtration process

by a gentleman selected by the President

fessona ethics not according to Democratic leaders,

The latest bit Of evidence Of the low estimation placed
upon Journalistic probIy by the party in power comes
from the Senate.
q Mr. Walsh, Of Montana, is one Of the leaders of his
party the upper house. He has the confidence Of the
President, has been prominently mentioned as one Of
the commissioners and his opinions be justly
considered authoritative and indicative Of the general
attitude Of his party. The other day he asked this
question:
Does the Senator believe that there is press in every
country subsidized by the munition interests powerful
enough to affect public opinionYr
why" replied Senator Walsh Il have not the slight
est doubt in the world about it,"
The statement made during the discussion Of the
formation of league Of nations preserve international
peace 1t was Mr. Wals's argument that opposition TO
such league would from press controlled by
nunItion makers whose business would be destroyed

Editorial Opinion
BOLsmEIsM NO SHIELD.

From the Ney York Tribune.
Karl Liebknecht, the German Sparta
Gus leader, wants to set up as a rival
OF Lenine. He ignores the Great War.
The only war which interests him Is
The class war between the proleta-iat
and the boudgeoise
He states his policy frankly: "We
refust peace with the Entente and in
tend 10 overthrow the present govern
ment within a fortnight"
There has been a marked tendency n
Germany TO welcome a certain amount
Of Bolsehlsm In the hope that the
lack Of a stable government may be
made an excuse for trying 10 dodge
repa-ation 10 the Allies. But the Ger
man people are sadly deceived II they
think that they can make Bolshevism
a shield. They may be willing 10 sub
nit to a halfway regime Of Russian
terrorism, which win make a show OF
saboiaglng industry and weakening
Garmanys capacity 10 pay her en0r-
nous war debts.
There can be no easy escape OF that
sort. The German people are fully
capable Of dealing with the SPARTA
cides The army gladly accepted peace
with the Entente IL was tired OF
lighting the Allied armies. II can easily
suppress Liebnecht and his unorgan-
ized Red followers. II It doesn't. Ger
many will be occupied by French
troops, who will make short work OF

Germany must pay now or later. Her
debt cannot be lessened by a Irritation

The body IS a highly organized
machine Of complicated parts in
which the stomach, liver and the
kidneys work for the common good.
Damage to any one of these organs
interferes with man as a motor
mechanism. If you clean the stom-
ach, liver and bowels occasionally
with a gentle laxative you can
keep well. Too much fuel in mans
machine, such as eating too much
meat, or alcohol or tea, nervous
overwork and lack of exercise IN
outdoor air bring constipation and
bad health. Eat less meat, plenty
of vegetables, and with air and good
exercise you need little else. If the

How that tiny thing did irritate him, didn't u? He

It's the little things which are to most Of us the
biggest annoyances.
The simple loss Of single small button Is sufficient
to send some men into hot cold RACES according TO
their mercural phlegmatic temperaments. In such
state they often make their wives regret the loss Of
spinsterhood.

With regular hours, six to eight
glasses of water between meals,
sensible coarse food and a chance

our highly nervous way of living
brings increased storage of uric
acid in the body. This acts as a
poison, and consequently we suf-
fer from headaches, neuralgia,
lumbago, aches or pains, rheu-

Get rid of this uric acid poison
by taking a harmless medicine,
called Anuric, which throws out
the uric acid by stimulating the

n T is true, as Grand Chan.
cellor Crouch says, that
the fraternal orders OF
the nation face a heavier re-
sponsibility as a result of the
war. 1t is noticeable that the
fraternities are coming in for a
deeper appreciation than form
erly. People are serious mind
ed these days. They are get
ting down to fundamentals.
Solid virtues and friendships
are held in higher esteem !;
there is less regard for frills
and froth. The deeper we get
into the war the stronger will
this tendency become. The
fraternal orders are going to
play a wonderful part in behalf
Of America and Americanism.
They are deeply embued with
democracy and patriotism.
They are organized to render
efficient help in the way of re-
lief work. They are going to
be of vast service during the
war and in the days following
the close of the struggle.

MAY REVOKE PERMITS

II HE Secretary of Agricul,
W ture is notifying al
holders of permits fol
grazing live stock on the natl
onal forests that the payment
of any bonus or allowance foI
waiver of the grazing privilege
in connection with sales of live
stock or ranch properties will
be cause for revocation of the
permit.
This is in accordance with
one of the regulations govern
ing the use of the national for
ests for grazing privileges,
which provides that permits
will be granted only for the ex-
elusive use and benefit of the
Owners of the stock and will be
forfeited if sold or transferred
in any manner or for any con-
sideration. To protect permit
tees who may wish to dispose
of their property against the
losses which sacrifice sales
would involve, it has been Gus
tomary to allow continued use
of the national forest ranged
by the new owner. Without
some provision for this, the
Forest Service grazing officials
point out, holders of permits
who wish to go out of business
would not be able to obtain a
fair value for their property.
But the procedure has aimed
throughout at such a safe
guarding of the situation as
would prevent the acquisition
of anything approaching vest
ed rights in the public property
by private individuals or COM
panies.
