AUTOCRACY OF DEMOCRATS

Politics is adjourned-and yet the
u. s. Court for one of the Federal
Districts of New York has done its
utmost to disrupt the Republican
campaign organization in the state
of Michigan, The New York court
hailed into court three Of Michigan's
most prominent citizens, who had
been actively identified with the
primary campaign of Truman H.
Newberry, nominated by the Mich.
gan Republicans for U. s. Senator,
These Michigan men were directed
TO bring into court their papers, re-
cords and bank accounts. Acting
upon advice Of their counsel, they
refused to answer questions of ths
grand jury, whereupon they were
adjudged to be in contempt of court,
and ordered 10 prison. They escap-
ed going to jail on a writ of habeas
corpus, but are in custody of their
counsel and are required TO remain
within the jurisdiction of the court,
he contention of th~eir.counsel is
that The Federal Election law governs
only general elections, and is not
under any circumstances applicable
20 primary elections
Moreover, they hold hat the New
York cour. has no authority to in
quire into election matters in Michi-
gan. IF the position of the court
IS correct, then the Federal court
in the state Of Maine could i~nvesti,-
gate The expenditures in every other
state in the Union. both in primary
and general elections. Florida, New
Mexico and Oregon courts could do
the same thing. In fine, the Federal
court of every state in the Union
could investigate the expenditures
OF every other state in the Union.
But whatever the merits o: the
case, the court for the present is in
the saddle, and is holding out of
Michigan the campaign managers
who are so much needed in Michigan.
it is safe to assume that after
November 5th, when the Michigan
workers cannot serve in the cam
paign, the court will find it con-
to dismiss all charges against
the defendants, letting them depart
peace from New York, where De-
politics is adjourned

Hon. Richardson neglected to
mention that for many months Mr..
Hernandez also served as a member
Of the Federal Exemption Board,

tons were granted to those who
were entitled to exemptions, and to
persons who believed that because
Mr.. Hernandez was a personal friend,
it would be a simple matter TO Sc
sure exemptions for their friends
and relatives. They know better now,
for those friends and relatives long
since have joined the military forces
of the United States, because Mr..
Hernandez voted for a strict and inn
partial enforcement Of the law and
regulations, which meant that every
man must do his duty.
The patriotic record of Mr.. Her

more severe than a comparison with

sTALLING ON PUBLIC WORK

Golfers publishes a letter from a
workman in = san Francisco ship
ward. who signs his name and gives
his address.
Here are some Things ic says Ian
be seer in a shipyard: Is per cent
of the men doing 50 per cent of a
fair days work. losing thereby to
the country at least $1,000 per d.
on one single ship.
He would have heard foremen tell
their men: Nov, take it easy and
hang on to this"
He would have heard at every turn
men Boosting about how little they
have done and what a pay check
they received.
You may ask how do I know all
these things. Because | am n of
the chief offenders. am working.
or rather stalling, in a large ship
yard.
TIL elast time | asked a foreman
what to do next. he said For. rs
sake. can't you find a place to hide ?
! did. | have been in the lazaret
for three days, receiving 5000 a day
and haven't done one single tap of
work"
The author of this ~nefarious con-
fession should be stood up against
a wall. By his side should be the
foreman to whom he refers and a
few others further I'D the line.
This labor Stacker filched from the
government the price of ll9 thrift
stamps. The work of 1l9 little boys
and girls. saving their pennies and
nickels. has been nullified, by this
bloodsucker.
The most astonishing feature of the
incident is the fact that such stall
ing could be practiced with immu-

in which such a thing would
be possible.-Rocky Mountain News.

C SHORTAGE HITS
A AND

. In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal. fixed by governmental order,
was S1.O4 to SLIP a pound.
BY comparison the price of beet
sugar in Sweden is IA cents a pound.

THE RICHARDSON MYTH

Breaking the Party's pledge aud
plunging into politics before the
CLOSE of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, is the role played by Hon.
Granville A. Richardson of Roswell,
Democratic nominee for Represen-
tative in Congress. He is now one
of the presiding Judges OF the Firm
Judicial District courts. The author
ity for the charge against Hon.
Richardson is the Carlsbad Current
of October II, which carries a three
quarter column story reporting Hon.
Richardson's political address.
Hon Richardson explained to his
audience that at first he decided To
refuse to accept the nomination COR
the lower house, but after thought

realized that it was his duty to ao-
cept-that 10 stand by his refusal

SUGAR BEET OUTLOOK

This is an important problem in
the west where one hundred beet
sugar factories are located.
After failing to produce sufficient
beets for two years, a beet sugar
factory has just been moved away
from Grants Pass, Oregon.
The sad fate of the second factory
that has been dismantled in Oregon
the first at La Grande--shows the
harvest of indifference.
This lesson will come home to 9TH
er communities unless they show a
greater determination to harmonic
all differences and grow beets.
The sugar companies have certain
ly gone the limit in trying to meet
the demands of the farmers for a
complete division Of the profits.
These profit are liable to disap-
with restoration of peace on
very short notice when the East In
dies begin to pour out their crops.

gerous shortage.
Everything looked fine for a set
Element when somebody threw an
other monkey wrench in the machin-
cry and about all the satisfaction
given out is that it looks as if pro-
posed relief measures would go over
until after election.
Think of it., playing politics with
an industry on which the very life
of the nation depends. 1t seems in
conceivable, but industry and the
safety of the nation apparently are
placed second to political ambition.

WAR HONORS FOR OUR MEN.

When Germany went to there were carloads of iron crosses lying around the various army head quarters, waiting to be bestowed upon those who had performed distinctive service for the of the Hohenzollerns Various other honors hand reward the faithful or stimulate endeavor
 When the United States went to war and for months after it had men in the firing line, there system in army by which even deeds of exceptional valor could be properly recognized An act of Congress necessary, in fact in each cifcs caSeE That is why We read so often of Amer jeans receiving the French War Cross and occasional ly a British decoration.
 Now we have established though tardily, a res of honors to be bestowed by commanding officers in the field, in recognition of special acts of bravery devotion. There are three decorations of this character, known the Medal of Honor the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal. The two former awarded for gaantry in action. The D. S. M. twill be confined to anyone who distinguishes himself herself by exceptionally meritorious service the Government in duty of great responsibility in time of in connection with operations against armed emy of the United States. This is held by the War Department to include officers and enlisted of the Allied forces serving.
 The Medal of Honor is confined to officers and soldiers of the American Army. The Distinguished Service Cross is to be awarded those who may distinguish themselves by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against armed enemy of the United States under which do not justify the award of the Medal Honor. It may be awarded to any person who while serving in any capacity with the army shall distinguish himself who since April ', 1917 so dstin gnshed him- self. It applies to officers and enlisted men of the Allied forces, well own.
 Gen. Pershing has issued orders calling atten- tion to the honors and nstructng commanders how to make rec concentrations and award them.

It is reported that when Premier Hughes comes to America he will take up the mooted question of Monroe Doctrine for the Pacific with the presi- dent. No doubt, the President will be glad L., Ieara just what Australia is worrying about and so in- cidentally would the rest of the country.
 The German holdings nearest Australia are in Papau. several hundreds miles away with the British possessions in the same island lying be- tween the Germans and Australia. The Iermans have to fear the British in the Pacific than the British have to fear the Germans. The Japanese capital is farther away from Sydney than London is from New York, and certainly the Dutch who have the largest interests in the Pacific next the British, not reckoned upon as foes of Australia.

There is no crime that a woman won't forgive if man tells her that love for her drove him to it.
 Women like to say that they mar ry for love. But the truth of the matter is that a lot of them married for a Meal Ticket.
