Answers to Heinie's Nonsense
[By Booth Tarkingtop]

Lie No. 1.-"Ths is capitalists war be-
cause the capitalists wanted to keep on making
money by manufacturing and shipping NUM-
tions, and they forced the Government to declare
war in order to protect the boats
Answer. The entrance of the United States
into the war took from the capitalist his profits
and is turning them into labor. Probably there
have been few food "profiteers" and the like,
but they are being dealt with. and the only fl
nancial profit from the war accrued to laboring
men.
Lie No. 2-"This is a capitalists war be-
cause the capitalists had bought English bonds
and were afraid the bonds would be worthless if
Germany won"
Answer: Then, since the "munition capital
lists" lose money by the war, and the capitalists
who had bought German bonds would oppose war,
it was struggle Of these two classes of capital
lists for peace, opposed by those who had bought
English bonds. The latter were incomparably in
the minority and could not have won such
struggle even if it had taken place. Of course it
is also necessary to assume that the capitalists
who brought on the war caused the events which
caused the American people to declare through
their representatives that they were in state of
war with Germany. These events which the
capitalists must have caused were namely, the
sinking of the "Lustania" Ola Americans MUIR

The Grand Jury Report

The report of the grand jury on it's investi-
CATION into the handling Of the smallpox cpl
demc during the last three months of 1917 tells
it's own story and places the blame for the mis-
takes.
Little comment is necessary. The scope of
the document shows that all phases of the ques-
ton were investigated, and the conclusions drawn
by the jury represent the general opinion of the
people.
1t is deplorable that grand juries periodically
must investigate laxity, cupidity and dishonesty
in public office. It indicates that too often the
proper attention is not paid to public affairs and
that men in public office do not guard the city's
money with the same exacting care they devote
to their own affairs.
The indictments returned against the two
physicians puts this issue squarey before the cir
cult court where it will be decided One phys
ician has admitted his guilt, the other will intro
duce defense.
The condition of the pest house ought to be
remedied at once. The grand jury used very
conservative language in it's condemnation of the
institution, if conditions there are as they were
depicted in the testimony that went before the
Jurors Richmond certainly cannot tolerate
these conditions longer. This community owes
duty to citizens who through no fault Of their
own are exposed to smallpox and forced to go to
the pest house. Sanitary improvements at least
ought to be provided without delay. A segrega-
ton of the sexes must take place. Patients must
not be forced to walk through rain and snow to
bench to obtain their meals as if they were
tramps to whom the municipality is giving a
hand-out.
It is apparent that the former board of health
and the board of public works were lax in pass
ing on bills incurred at the pest house If an eff
ficient system of checking other sources Of ex-
pense is in vogue, there is no reason why this
should not have applied to the expenditures of
the board of health which cost the city So
$685. in 1917 exclusive of salaries. One para
graph of the report places the blame where it
belongs:
"The City Health Department which was un-
der the supervision of DR.. S. C. Smelser should be
held primarily responsible for the improper ex-
penditures as the other departments based their
approval of the claims largely upon the recon-
mendation of the Health Board. However, in
many instances the bills were so glazing that
other departments of the city government can
not be excused for their laXity in allowing the
amounts. The cost of the Health Department
alone reached S5,6s5.95 for the past year, and
this did not include salaries

GERMAN KULTUR
 OUTPOSTS WILL
 BE TAKEN OVER
GA ss0ciated Prass,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. T. Alien Property Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer this morning asked congress for legislation which will empower him to sell any enemy property in America. It is to be left to the discretion of the custodian as to what property shall be sold, and he will have power to dispose of it when he thinks necessary. It is be- lieved that the measure will be passed as suggested, as it has the approval of the President and the leaders of both parties are in favor of it.
 The proceeds from such sales will be turned into the United States treasury and used as the American government sees fit. The money might be returned to the owners of the property after the war, but this rests solely with the government.
 MT. Palmer declares that the sales OA SAAS SAASAy PAOPOAty AAOS OAAy hamper Germany but will aid Am erica. The funds can be used to build ships or for any other purpose as the need arises. It is also de clared that American property in Germany is liable to similar treat ment and some of it has already been disposed of.
 In this manner MT. Palmer plans to break up the vast German hold ings in America and place them in other and friendly hands so that after the war is ended they cannot continue to be outpcsts of German kultur.
 The senate appropriations commit tee this afternoon formally approved the plan for selling alien enemy property, and the measure will be passed within short time.

RIGGS MAY NOT BE CONFIRMED
 BY COMMITTEE
(AsSociated Pr.s

SEATTLE, Mar "A special dis patch to the POst-Intelligencer iron Washington this morning indicates that the appointment of Thos. Riggs Jr.. as governor of Alaska to sue ceed J, F. A. Strong is not certain by any means, although it is prob able. The dispatch states that Sen ator Pittman, chairman of the sen ate territorial committee, is opposed to any appointee except Strong and has already declared he will fight any other name for confirmation.
 The P.-I. dispatch says it is un derstood that MT. Strong has resign ed and it is asserted that Alaska is now governorless, Surveyor General Davidson being acting governor dur ing the interim. Riggs is uncon flrmed and Senator Pittman is said to have told Secretary Lane that he is opposed to any appointment but Strong's and will fight any other nomination.
 When asked by the Post-Intelli gencer correspondent what effect the reported resignation of MT. Strong would have on his attitude, Senator Pittman declined to make any com ment whatever until the news is con flrmed by Secretary Lane or Gov ernor Strong.
 It is also reported that there will be no appointment made to fill the position left vacant by Commission CT Riggs on the Alaskan Engineer ing commission. It is considered probable that Commissioner Edes will be at the head of all construc tion work over the entire route, and competent engineers be placed in charge of the actual work and under the authority of MT. Edes. It is known that no appointment has been made to fill Major Mears' former DO sition as commissioner, although Will liam Gerig is to look after the work on the coast end of the road.

NEW NATIONAL PARTY ADOPTS
 ITS PLATFORM
Associated Prpssj


 CHICAGO, H., Mar. 7.-The new National party tonight adopted a platform and will endeavor to place tickets in the field at all state and congressional elections this fall. There were 200 delegates in attend ance at the convention. half of whom yesterday bolted the Prohibition convention after that body had re- fused to effect a merger with the nationalists.
 The new party's platform appeals especially to the farmers and labor CTS by advocating extremely radical legislation favoring these forces. A plank was inserted which demands equal suffrage for both sexes and another for nationwide prohibition.
 The members of the prohibition convention who bolted to the new party assert that the death knell of the National Prohibition party has been sounded and that it will be entirely disrupted before the fall elections are held. Delegates from at least ten states have pledged them selves to disband their state organi- cations and reorganize under the ban ner of the National party. which originated from the Socialist dele gates who bolted the St. Louis con- vention on account of the alleged disloyal attitude of the Socialist party.
