Attention was focused especially on
the problem of Transforming as quick

state aid. Italian indutries employed In

NOTHING DOING ON
THE "DoTAGE" STUFF

Our friend. Charley Rawalt. of the
Cunnison Empire, take exceptions to
Our recent statements that he was in
his dotage. He says he is enjoying
his usual robust health, and will come
down and show us some of these
times. Come on, Charley. and we will
set up the cigars.
Now. apropos that Adams editorial:
This article appeared for the first
time in our issue of Nov %. and we
don't need to look up Adams files,
because on the face of it, the Mont
rose Bladder never published any
thing like that first hand. Our wires
are not twisted on that score at all,
but since the aforesaid publication is
a daily spasm, there was still week
in which it could have been publish
ed before Dec. l, as suggested by the
Empire. Hence, all this raving is a
sort of "heads l win-tails you lose"
argument.
Now, Rawalt, il you still doubt our
word, put the matter up to Uncle
Charley Adams. He won't claim that
article. even if his name is Adams, a
fact much to be regretted

NO TIME FOR PARTISANsHIP.

There are many men in the Repub-
lican party, who. in mental capacity,
and in ability to do things. stand far
above many of the men who now fill
public offices in Washington. 1t is
unfair to the nation, unfair to the
millions of soldiers who will have to
risk their lives, unfair to the loved
ones who shall have to bear the az
onies of this terrible war, to contin-
ue a purely Democratic administra-
tion Of public affairs. or to retain in
office soldiers or civilians who have
utterly failed to make good. when the
whole nation is asked to give its best
to the struggle. To do so any longer
would be to lessen the power of the
nation for the contest. We believe
that we can speak for the millions of
Democrats in this country who put
patriotism above party. who would
welcome a change by which the
strongest men of the nation, regard
less of party affiliations, should be
called into the presidents cabinet and
given an opportunity to find out why
we have wasted. not only months, but
years. Of time in getting ready for
the present struggle. and why thous-
ands of men in the camps have to
suffer for lack of the things for which
the nation should have been ade-
quately provided.
Any partisanship in such an hour
of world tragedy and danger would
be crime against God and humanity.
The nation calls to its people to con.
centrate and consecrate their all
their loved ones. their mental and
moral and financial power-to the
war. Shall any man for partisanship
purposes vote for or against a war
measure on partisanship grounds, OF
fail to enlist the cooperation of those
, of the opposite party to which he be
longs? II such a man exists, the he
ther world through eternity would be
too heavenly place for him. More
over 1t is unfair to the Democratic
party to make 1t responsible for the
entire management of the war.-Tht

The wide-spreading shelf and the good
things upon it,
The cakes and the pies and the
doughnuts so new;
The jug of molasses and the pan with
milk in it,
And right in plain sight was the cooky
jar, too.
But now it is wheatless and meatless
and sweetless,
That poor. dear, old pantry-but
Hoover's is too.
Right there in the corner the big jar
of lard,
But now we can't touch it, we've sign
ed Hoover's card.
The tub on the shelf where the sugar
once grew.
But now that is empty; too bad. but
it's true.
And there's the big peg where once
hung our smoked ham.
We sent that away to help our Uncle
Sam.
The salt it is plenty and so is the
corn meal,
The pantry's not empty; just changed
good deal;
For it must be wasteless. We know
things are tasteless.

with which some would supplant it.
Our Fathers God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect us with Thy might,
Great God, our King!
In all the universe the mind can
conceive of nothing grander-more
sublime than the words.
They even tell us flippantly that we
need no longer rise to our feet when
America is sung. Perish the thought!
Stand and sing THE Star Spangled

in which patriotism rings, but never,
never sit supinely idle when the
strains of glorious America" burst
