WHOSE WAR IS IT?
(Mining JournaD


The most terrible misconception of
this terrible time is the belief of some
people that this is a rich mans war.
capitalistic war. The farming CON-
munities of Kansas are thoroughly
permeated with the idea that vicious
profiteering has made the farming
class burden-b bearer. and they are
brooding over this. The doctrinaries.
simpletons and hoodlums echo this
from their soap-boxes. The German
propagandists cleverly foster it, for
in so doing they know that they are
accomplishing the German purpose
better than by the winning of many
battles. Consider what they have
succeeded in doing in Russia and what
they almost did in Italy.
Previous 10 the entrance of the
United States into the war. business
was extremely prosperous. Disturb
ance of this prosperity was the last
thing that any business man wanted.
Whenever there was any intimation
that the United States might become
involved in the war. as when the
"Lusitania' was sunk. the stock mar
ket trembled With the actual entry
OF the United States into the war
there began a decline in the prices
for securities that was deeply disturb

our industries were saddled with an
appalling burden OF taxation. rs it

understanding, asks Mr.. Kahn that
any business man fomenting our en-
trance into the war for the purpose OF
OF his senses and would have been
fit subject for the appointment Of
guardian TO take care OF himself and
mis- affairs?''
No. this is not rich mans war as
as il is being fought by us. Germany
may be fighting q rich mans war, but
We are fighting for democracy, the
very antithesis OF what Germany is
fighting for; and democracy means
the interest OF everybody. There is
no such thing as class in this concep-
ton. Any American citizen who de-

thinks is unfavorable class treatment
or seeks to arouse class animosities.
our President, than whom no states
man has enunciated more clearly the
principles for which We are fighting.
The lunatics OF Russia and the poor
fools who are deluded by them have
fouled their own nest and have played
the German game. The takers in
this country who would like 10 do like

where they can do no harm. They
should be treated as carriers of the
germs OF insidious disease, endanger-
ing the public.
While We have let these focuses Of
infection circulate without molesta-
ton. lest we be charged with inter-
ferring with the right of free speech,
we have been TOO mealy- in
talking to the workers who have lis
tened TO them. We have relied too

save when our President spoke an
grily to the shipbuilders. no one Of
the great leaders has ventured to call
a spade a spade. We have had too
much cajoiins, too much talk about a
new order of things that is coming.
too much about the prospective rule
OF the ditch-diggers. and there has
been TOO much evasion of the incon-
testatle fact that the root of mos. of
the economic troubles of the time is
that ali the workers are not working

adequately that this is above ev cry

IT'S A BASE LIBEL

4 Pennsylvania publication recently
said, IAN uplift organization has set
out TO find and reform the champion
bad boy. Look for the lad with red
hair, freckles and a 'yaller' dag"
From the number of editors who
have rallied to the defense of the boy
we pick the following from the Bes--
semer Weekly:
The writer OF the above should
either be sentenced TO heavy penal
- for libel, or fired from his job for
his woefnl lack of knowledge Of hu.
man nature.
in the first place, he hasn't given
a single symptom of the bad boy.

ard Cowardice is the most .promi'
nent characteristic of the really bad
boy. 1t is utterly impossible to rec.
oncile badness with bravery. The
bad boy is also a sneak, and the fiery
headed youngster is too impetuous to
even entertain sneaking thought. He
is, if anything. too frank and down
right Tor his own good In this. age. OF

lights in doing favor. He may be a

1.-The most daunnable libel of all.
Psychologists have sought in vain
to account for the strange affinity be-
tween the boy and his unlovely dumb
friend, but one thing sure-it is there
and in full force. Can it be that in
the poor brute the urchin finds that
for which he vainly seeks elsewhere
reciprocal love that is perfect and
without a flaw? 1t would fully ac

less His person and his manners
will be found pleasing, and his smile
will be peculiarly winning. He will
be accomplished even polished in his
conversation.
And then he will never be brought
to the notice Of the uplift society for
the reason that all this charm of per-
son is almost sufficient to blind even
the angels of Heaven to the fact that
It the core-deep down in his heart
he is bad, rotten IS hell.
Yes. he is walking the streets OF

SAYS FRISCO POLICE
REFUSE HER RECEIPT
Mrs. Baldyin Has No Proof Of
Amount Of Stolen Money
She Returned.

San Francisco, Dee. 1S.-Mrs. Lola
G. Baldwin of Portland, who effected
the capture of Arthur c. Davis, Port
land bank robber, today accused the
San Francisco police of refusing alb
solutely to give her receipt for more
than $4O,0 900 turned over to them,
The money, which she recovered
from Davis, was stolen by him from
the East Side bank of Portland 1t was
in bonds of all sorts, gold, currency
and great mass of small silver piec-
les.
Mrs. Baldwin today attempted to
give the United Press an accounting of
money turned over to the police, but
gave up in despair.
~ have absolutely nothing to show
for the money l have recovered" she
said 81 demanded receipt from the
police but they refused it. They refus-
ed even to allow me to take the num-
bers of bonds turned over, saying rney

Will See Thing Through
Mrs. Baldwin declared she would
"s see the thing through" and demand
through the courts, If necessary that
the police made an accounting.
The reward offered by the Portland
bank included, besides flat $500, ten
percent of all the funds recovered. This
would amount to over $4,000.
The police, according to Mrs. Bald
win, said their books would show the
amount of money turned over by her
and that it was not customary to give
a receipt in such cases.
Mrs. Baldwin admitted there was
hard feeling between herself and the
police and the various private detect
ives who have been searching for Dav-
is.
con my demand that the numbers
of bonds turned over be noted" she
said, "the police started to do this.
They stopped, however, before half
through, saying it would take too much
time. I have turned money over to them

1T am very unpopular here" Mrs.
Baldwin said several times. She said
Roscoe P. Hurst, Portland attorney,
would be here tomorrow and she ex-
poets Hurst to help her.

WILL WOMEN GIVE UP
POSITIONS FORMERLY
HELD BY DRAFT MEN

What to do with the women who
are holding down real jobs for the
first time and really doing work that
has heretofore been done by men will
be one of the great problsms for the
council of defense and the labor sr-
ganizati0ns to solve. This developed
last evening at the meeting of the
county council of defense. the Wo-
man 5 club and the U. S. labor bureau.
AS to whether women who have been
holding down jobs that ordinarily were
thought TO belong to men will cheerful
ly Lay down, get out and seek domestic
service or other service, or whether
they will not, is the big problem, as
well as that of finding jobs for the
soldiers.
At the meeting last evening, a reso-
luton was passed supporting the gov
ernment in its endeayor to find work
for returning soldiers. But as to what
will be done with the men who are
obliged to give up their jobs for SOL
diers, and for the women who do not
want to give up their jobs, that is an
other question and from the general
trend of opinion, is one Of the most
difficult ones.
DR.. R. E. Lee Steiner, chairman of
the Marion county council of defense,
upon being told that the women hold
ing down men s jobs would not willing
ly quit, was inclined to think that if
the women insisted on doing their work
SO well that the male creation was sure
ly up against it.
Anyhow, the U. S. labor bureau, the
Marion county council Of defense and
tho Woman s club all endorse the ae-
tion of the government in its efforts
to secure employment for returning
soldiers.
