ALMOST REGULAR CRITIC

The New York Times, one of the
strongest Of the administration sup.
porters, feels itself under the neces.
sity of v%oicing frequent criticisms
of the administration. In fact, it is
getting to be almost as reg.
ular critic as the leaders of the
republican press. In a recent issue it
condemned the. "watrhful waiting
policy with regard to the Russian
situation, and denounced the excess
profits tax Of the present revenue
law as, laid discriminatory be-
tween sections of the country, and
with that intention, and says that
the tax on earned incomes ~'penalize
the worker and benefits the rich"
The Times has also recently criticiz-
Wood. and has passed structures on
the Post Office Department, and OF
her administration activities. Par.
ticularly is the Times d~issatisfi d
with the House Ways and Means
Committee which frames the most
important legislation Congress is

NO ROOM IN LOYAL
STATE FOR HERR HEARST

Two towns in New York state
burned big bundles of Hearst papers
after they had eviscerated the Me-
mortal Day proclamation OF Presi-
dent Wilson, and had done their
disloyal utmost 70 make it a color
less document. In the city Of Santa
Fe the Hearst papers have been bar
red and it is urged by those at the
state capital who were responsible
for barring them out that the rest
of the towns in New Mexico follow
the same course, The suggestion IS
worth following. There is no room
in a state that is as loyal as New
Mexico for traitrous rags like the
Hearst papers. and the sooner they
are barred completely IRON the mails
of the entire country the sooner
will a veritable plague spot be clean

HOW WEALTH is CONSCRIPTED

we talk about ConSrripting wealth
TO meet the cost of the war. We
are levylng war taxes in unprece-
dented amount on our CORPORATIONS.
IT the latter go broke who will Day
the war taxes? Representative Lon
gworth calculates that while Eng
land has been meeting only 20 per
cent OF her war expenditures by
taxes. the United States is raising
nearly 50 per cent.
Destroy the corporations and ev-
cry other taxpayer would have his
burden increased and he would also
have TO be a heavier purchaser of
the liberty loan. Note a few subscri-
ptions to the latest issue by the big
corporations; United States Steel.

filming Company, S 100000 and so on
down the list.
The tremendous burden of the war
is being carried on by everybody.
the heaviest part is laid on the
great industries which are profiting
by the war and which are willing
and able to pay. The trouble has
been to understand the meaning of
our new tax laws. 1t would add to

HONEST E PANkEY.

In a letter received this week from
F. E. Jordan, Of Topeka, kansas, he
says he read with much interest the
sketch which recently appeared in
the State Record, relative to "Honest
Ben. Pankey" in which il was stated
among other things that many Of
Mr.. Pankey's friends are ~favorins
his nomination for governor at the
coming Republican convention in
this state. Mr.. Jordan says:
The slogan. if you might permit
it to be called that, Honest Ben,
Pankey" struck me as being an ex-
cellent term to be used at this time
when honest, patriotic men, whose
integrity cannot be questioned by
anyone for our higher official posi-
tions. | read a very able editorial
article in a recent number OF the
Saturday. Evening Post. 1t was
headed, You may win the Wa > In
the article the editor stated that
candidates for the coming fall cleo
ton should be stood up and look
cd over by the voters in the same
way that they might do if buying
a COW or horse. He Stated that there
ShOuld be but three requirements
this time, brains, honesty and pa
triotism. Then dig back into his
history and see how he measures on
these. Everyone, who knows him at
all knows that there can be no
question in his past about any OF
these. | wish him every success"
Brains, honesty and patriotism
the qualities the Post emphasizes,
are certainly we'll exemplified by Mr.
Pankey in all his conduct, and deal
ings and his habits along those lines
are so well fixed that there is no
question but what he would carry
them into the executive office, should
he be chosen for that hor
position, and from the many favor
able comments we hear and receive
about him it seems very likely that
he will be.

NO CAUSE FOR GRIEF

No class Of American citizens get
SO quick a hearing or SO prompt a

att ntion from the government as
the farming class.
Ask any honest and fair minded
tiller of the soil today If he has any
cause for real grievance for his class

that he has not.
He he's the best market he ever
had, under the highest scale of pri-
ees. ard the most favorable laws.
The Department of Agriculture,
the postal service, the rural -red;t

tionsl helps have been creased and
extended for his special benefit.

SCHWAB GETS RESULTS

The United States is now turning
out one l0!O0O-ton ship or its equi-
valent every single. day. In six
months it will be turning out two
a day and in twelve months from
three to four a day.
These were the figures given out
by Charles M. Schwab. Director
General OF the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. following a flying trip
to officiate at a double launching at
the yards Of the Standard Shipbuild-
ing Corporation at Mariners Harbor
Staten Island, which added a 5000
ton cargo carrier and a mine sweep
er, both steel to Americas growing
merchant and war fleet,
Il think if we turn out 100000
tons this year well be doing we'll"
said Mr. Schwab, "but ] expect we'll
do it and III be pretty badly dissa-
pointed if we don't do more"
The 100000 tons produced this
year will be more than doubled in
the following twelve months" contin-
ued Mr.. Schwab. when the shipbuild-
ing yards get into full swing. He de-
clared it was his intention soon to
inaugurate a series of competitions
among the various plants through
out the country, awarding honor
flags to the yards and medals to the
men which make the best showing
in the contest.
MY theory is" Mr.. Schwab con-
tinued, that the work must be done
in the yards and that the enthusiasm
and spirit must be put in where the
work is done. You can get more out
of it that way than by all the effort
put forth at Washington.
Considering the fact that the F.
Emergency Fleet Corporation had no
yards at all to start with. but had
I build from the ground up, MIR.
Schwah declared that he was dis
%tinctlv encouraged by the showing
made so far. The public had not gen
orally realized that all of the exist
ing shipyards at the outbreak of the
war had been taken up by work for
the Navy, that the big yards of the
Corporation were not started until
last September and that the winter
months had practically put them out

PREDICTS REPUBLICAN GAINS

The Republicans are going &c
make great gains all through the
West in the congressional elections
according to Col. Archie NJ. Steven
son, Republican leader of Colorado
prominent in numerous national
conventions and other Republican
gatherings. Col. Stevenson recently
made a thip through the West. going
as far as California. In his opinion
the Republicans will control the next
House of Representatives.
I'm many Of the Western States
the Republicans will elect Republi-
cans where Democrats now occupy
seats in Congress-" said Col. Steven
son. I'VE shall gain a member from
Denver in place of Mr.. Hillard. !
do not know who will be chosen by
the Reprblicans, but any Republi-
can will win. There will be gains in
California and other States. Indeed.
] expect to see the Republicans con-
troll the House by a substantial MAJ
jority. 1t is not a matter of patrio-
tism, but Just one of understanding
on the part OF the voters that the
Republicans are better able to run
the government from an economical
standpoint, and there will be great
need of economical and practical
government when the war is over
One does not hear a great deal
about presidential nominations"
continued Col. Stevenson. Most
everybody out my way is for Col
Roosevelt, but in California and
many other Western States there is
considerable talk of Gov. Iowdan
OF l~llonois. Lowden has more than
made good As governor and he has
q wide reputation.

Cross subscriptions" concluded Col

CUT PLATINUM JEWELRY FAD

The Bureau Of Mines calls upon
all patriotic women to refrain from
the further purchase and use of plat
mum jewelry and upon jewelers. to
discontinue its manufacture.
The supply is not half enough to
cover the demand for purely war
purposes including artillery, explo-
sive, electrical and chemical uses.
Most of the metal has come from
Russia in the past-from mines now
in the possession of the Huns, and
present prospects are not nco
aging to secure the required amounts.
So far as appearance goes the d.
rector of the Bureau of Mines says
platinum has nothing to commend

high. 1t is slightly less beautiful

MAKES HIS RECORD PLAIN

Since the breaking out of the grea,
European war there has been q very
generally expressed demand, from
the peoples of all nations, and par.
ticuIarly from labor, both ~organ;z.
ed and un~organized, of all the civil.
Iized nations of the earth, for the
adjustment of secret diplomacy,
and one of the most pronounced de-
mands of organized labor in every
country engaged in the war has be n
for an open discussion of all treaties,
so that all the people of all the ma.
lions would have a voice in the ne
gotiations which direct the future
of their governments. These treaties
control the wars of the world. and
h argument has been that as the
people must pay the price in both
blood and treasure the people should
make the DECISIONS from which war
or peace would result.
On January 8, 1918, President Will
son addressed Congress in the fol.
lowing language:
1T will be our wish and
that the processes of peace, when
they are begun, shall be absolutely
open and that they shall involve and
permit henceforth no secret under
standings of any kind. The dav of
conquest and aggrandizment is gone
by. SO it is also THE DAY OF Sc
CRET COVENANTS entered into
in the interest Of particular govern
ments and likely at some unlocked
for moment to upset the peace of
the world"

to mean that President Wilson was
to the open discussion of
peace treaties, and he went to the
