TIT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

There is "nigger" in the fence around the discount charged on Canadian money, the where abouts of which is hard to lOcate We are charged three percent here on Canadian money. When we ask for an explanation, are told that the charge is in retaliation for the discount charged by the Canadian banks which is three percent. For some months we have kept an eye opened for any explanation com.ng from the other side of the line It came yesterday in the following:
 Niagara, Falls. Ont. July 23.-It is becoming hard matter to Canadian money either Niagara Falls Buffalo, Canadians living the border finding out. The International Railway Com pany. which operates the river and in Buffalo, and runs a railway between the two cities, absolute ly refuses oake Canadian bank notes. Many Can adians going to Buffalo and having nothing but Canadian bills often have to miss while they about trying to find place which will take Canadian money.
 In restaurants and in Niagara Falls and Buffalo they charge discount of high as per Canadian money.
 Canadians protest vigorously pointing that it is an insult to Canada, only to be met with the sterotyped reply We cannot help it. The banks charge the discount and We have to- too, protect ourselves"
 Nevertheless it is said the American banks are making good thing oi sending big patches Of Canadian bills this side and receiving par for the money from the Canadian banks It is felt here that the Canadian banks should retalate and charge d discount American money.
 From the above it is concusively clear that deception exists behind the scenery. Somebody is making something at the expense o1 the many without a vaiid excuse. Neither country has borrowed from the other. and since beth coun- =. are fighting shoulder to shoulder for the saE1e cause, why that discount Of money?
 Here in ketchkan, the discount charged .,s forced on Us through the acton of the Can adian banks which. from all accounts started the discount and for self protection, our banks fol- .osed. But from the above. the reverse ap- rearS. Federal authorities should look into this annoy yance. which would likely be traced to Wall Street

SIX HOURS A DAY

New York Socialists have adopted a platform de- mandng six-hour working day for everybody.
 Ones first impulse may be to agree with them-in theory What blessed thing it would be nobody had to work more than six hours day especially in July Many weary perspiring puddler farmer mechanic banker and editor feels like applauding so auring a proposal
 To be sure, it isn't apparent how of the work ing casses-ncudng the merchant, banker and editor could get their work done if they never worked than six hours day But probably the Socialists would regulate that.
 Possibly work is merely a senseless craze that grows dope habit, and nobody worked hard nobody would have to. That aspect of the question worth thinking about The South Sea Islanders don't average even one honest hours work day; and according the fiction writers, they get along beautifully They have certain climatic advantages, though
 However, when it comes to making sixhour day want to be obliged to work long hours; neither do we want to be prevented from working long hours if we choose to- Excessive energy has its rights, the same as weakness or ndolence. The right hard is as vital principle of democracy the right not to be forcbly overworked

We have no knowledge of the cause which

We have no knowledge of the cause which led the cannerymen to organize, but we infer that the organization was perfected for mutual protection which covers a lot of interests It is their privilege to organize just the same as labor. Then why should labor suspect evil motives in the organization of capital. Labor may be said to be capital, and it has been so declared by the highest court of the land. Yet man said yesterday that he suspected an evil motive in such organization Evidently, that man wants it all his own way and anything that tends to defeat his selfish aim, is an evil.

the well-known Atlanta attorney who
is running for the court of appeals
expresses himself as highly gratitie0
over the many voluntary ASSURANCES OF
support he received from fell wv at

with their support in theit respective
communities that his election to the
court Of appeals is definitely assured
He bases his candidacy on the fact
that his popular vote and county unit
vote in the primary Of 1916 entitled
him to a nomination for one of the
places on the court of appeals, but in
the famous political Juggling which
took place at the Macon convention
he was euchered out of his rightful
place This convention Juggling, it
will be recalled, aroused so much pro-
test over the state that the legisla-
ture passed a primary law intended
TO prevent such practices in the fu-
ture.

And to have gotten all these ingrsdi-

that every second man was q stoker

But instead Of that, every second
man has been a motorcar manufactur-

And the result has been that 80 far
from melting these different ingredi-

them at all. They have Just been
