THE CHICKEN LIVERED SOCIAL
lists OF MINNESOTA

The Minnesota socialists met this
week and passed resolutions calling
for the immediate recognition of the
Bolsheviki government of Russia by
the United States. One member
whose socialism had not gotten the
best of his manhood moved a reso-
luton favoring the recruiting of a
Volunteer Army" of socialists to
help save the Russian revolution
from suppression by Germany, but
the chicken livered bunch, who car
only be called men by courtesy
voted the resolution down.
What effect ought a resolution
have asking this country to recog'
nize a government, the movers OF
whicht, would themselves help t.
defend? 1t will have no effect witt
any man who has bit of courage
or a spoonful of sense. Think of it
If this country were to recognize thu
Bolsheviki and take up arms to hell
them maintain their government, no
socialist would help. They would
be perfectly willing for you and
to fight for them, but as for them
selves, no fighting for that chicken
livered bunch.

In the case of the United States the
total trade for the year is estimated at
SO 900, 100000. against 100000,
600 in 1918. Great Britain's trade is
estimated at $1,000, 100000 against
IS, 100000 for 1918. The trade
Of the Central Powers has OF course
been cut of. The greatest change in
trade has been that Of the Allies. The
total trade Of Great Britain. France
Italy, Russia, United States, Canada
and Japan in 1918 was around eighteen
billion dollars, while in 1917 the tota
was around twenty-five billion dollars

teamwork and had the break OF

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER.
Sound Metropolis Will Have Hot
MayOralty COntest-Will
Fight German Agents.

Seattle is to at last have straight
out fight between organized labor forces
and those who are opposed to the idea
OF having its municipal affairs dictated
by labor leaders and walking delegates.
At the recent city primaries Ole Han
son and James Bradford were nominated
as candidates for Mayor to be voted
upon at the March election. Bradford
was supported by organized labor. The
leaders Of that organization did not
formally indorse him because there
were some within the ranks who favored
Mayor Gill. who by the way was over
whelmingly defeated and is now re-
garded as a dead issue. But organ
lied labor, it is admitted. nominated
Bradford and are now rallying their
forces with the hope Of making him
OedllIe next MdyOI. I1duoOb' % q
matter of fact, led Bradford in the
primaries two to one, but it is generally
conceded that he will not do so in the
election and betting on the outcome is
now about even. Organized labor's
voting strength in this city has greatly
increased since ship building became a
big part OF the manufacturing wing Of
Seattle and there are many wise
politicians who believe that they are
sufficiently strong to make Bradford
Mayor. Hanson stands for law and
order and will not bend to the demands
Of organized labor leaders. Bradford,
as matter OF fact, is very independent,
but the fact that organized labor is
down the line with him has lined up
the opposition forces against him. 1t
will be hot fight.

At last the commercial bodies OF the
state have come to realize that if Wash
ington is to be made a great state the
interests OF the farmer must be more
carefully looked after and with that idea
in view there is now being effected
county and state organizations to futher
the farming industry. One of the first
moves of the organization is 10 make
an effort to bring from eastern Wash
ington alfalfa to the dairying district Of
western Washington. 1t is generally
admitted that with present high prices
Of feed dairymen are none too prosper
Gus. Eastern Washington has many
thousands OF tons OF alfalfa and if il
could be laid down in western Wash
ington much would be accomplished
to solve the dairyman's troubles. The
new organization, which has the back
ing of the Seattle Chamber Of Com
merce is now at work seeking to OBJ
tain sufficient cars from the railroad
companies to move this alfalfa from
eastern Washington.

Clarence Reames Of Portland, one OF
the ablest lawyers on the coast, has
been sent to Seattle by the United
States Government to take charge Of
all prosecutions OF those who are lining
up criminally against the Government
in its war on Germany. For time
the local U. S District Attorney was
able to handle the cases but during the
past few months so many cases Of
sediton have developed that the Gov
eminent found it necessary to create a
special department to handle them.
Reames has been given corps Of
assistants and from now on it is ex-
pected that vigorous prosecutions will
follow in all cases of disloyalty TO Uncle
Sam.

SOCIAL.
A surprise party was given at
the Great Northern club house for
Clifford Hagler last Monday even
ing, February 18, in honor of his
18th birthday. At least it was in
tended to have been a surprise, but
there were several hints made in
his presence as to party, and as
Cliff gets very good grades in school
we are rather doubtful as to wheth-
err he expected to find curtains"
on a group of smiling faces when
he entered the club house escorted
by the Jacobsen family. AS Cliff in
sisted that afternoon upon going
shopping with the girls, Orrielte
and Virginia, at the particular time
when they were endeavoring to or
der refreshments for the evening,
he was almost induced into believ-
ing that a girls knitting club with
refreshments was to meet that ev-
ening, quite inconsistent with Red
Cross work, but the best excuse
possible.
There were many guests present,
including all the teachers from the
high school as wei as the grades;
all the senior class and large num-
Der of friends, an al about so. The
party danced from 8 to II o'clock,
very good music being furnished by
Mrs. Reid and Clifford at intervals.
At 1870 lunch was served to the
! ruests, after which they danced I'M
til with a common thought they
came to the realization that the day
was Tuesday and it would soon be
time for school.
Everyone present reported a
good time and many others who
were not present benefited by the
description offered them by those
who had participated in the plea
sures of the evening. The members
of the faculty presented Clifford
with a very charming picture OF
Leavenworth, token which he may
always keep and regard with pleas
ant remembrances of his happy
school days in dear old L. H. S.
Mrs. Carter was very wei pleased
with the success of the community
concert last Tuesday evening. Each
number was we'll rendered and
heartily encored. A good crowd was
in attendance and the proceeds will

Does anyone know the meaning
of the yellow trousers so many Of
the boys are wearing? Perhaps the
boys are Hooverizing on wool.

According to ExPresident Fred

citation the greatest enemy confronting
the dairy interests of this state today is
oleomargarine. Now that the Govern
ment is crying economy oil all food

the oleomargarine manufacturers are
working hard TO get movement started
throughout the country in favor Of oleo

know the ingredients Of cleo are quite
aware of the fact that it does not

Report cards were given out this
week. By the expressions regis
tered on the pupils faces one might
tell if the grades were satisfactory
or otherwise.
Teacher and pupil took advantage
of last Fridays holiday, but in
many different ways. Some liked;
others skated, and still others
studied. Many of the teachers went
to the coast but as i'll luck would
have it, they all reported for duty
some time Monday morning.
Possibly Joe Smith can tell why
we lost the game at Wenatchee
Thursday. 1t is said of Captain Joe
that he was very busy, following
and keeping in sight a very pretty
damsel, clad in a leopard spotted
coat. eW forgive you this time but
don't let it happen again.
The girls basket ball team had a
lively practice Monday night, the
game being won by the Reds. AS
soon as the team is properly organ
lied, a game will be scheduled
with the Wenatchee high school
girls basketball team.
Owing to the rapidity with which
the thrift stamps are selling in the
schools, Mr.. Osborn was obliged to
purchase another 500 worth for
sale in the different grades.
When we asked one of the pupils
of the economic class what they
were doing in that particular sub
ject, the reply was, Excepting busy"
We guess they told the truth. At
any rate Virginia Toles carried
home the wrong reference book
the other night and was very much
chagrined when she remembered the
next morning that she was UMPIRE
pared for that days quiz.
