CLASSED FOR
U. 5. SERVICE

or the SIS men called for examina-
ton today so appeared this morning
and SIS passed the inspection by the
local board. This makes 1877 men 1el-
igible to NIL the balance, 1873, of the
first increment OF the Clay county
quota. Included in this number are
three of four men who may only be

Rhinow, the instructions from Pro
vost Marshal General CroWder to

the examination of Glass men with
out Waiting for the new regulations
as TT Is Of the utmost Importance
that enough men to fill the deferred
percentage of the current quota be
examined as rapidly as possible"
The balance Of the quota for the
county was 1856, and since that time
so men have been sent to Fort Win
field Scott, California; one bTicklayer
to Kelly Field, Texas, and two men
to Vancouver Barracks, Wash, in the
spruce production service.
No instructions have been received
except to have the men ready to be
sent to the training camp on Feb.
%, and these instructions are en-
phasfzed in the orders OF General
Crowder.

.MOORHEAD DADS
GRANT FREE Use
OF NORTH BRIDGE
Council Also Raises Pay of
Patrolmen S. a Month
at Meeting Monday

The Moorfead city council voted to
give the Fargo & Moorhead Street
Railway Co. the free use OF the north
bridge for 1918. This action was taken
after Supt. G. p. Brown, of the COM
pany had told how much the paving
and other expenses in Moorhead had
exceeded the 1917 income. The annuaI
charge for the use of the bridge here
tofore has been $500.
1t was decided to buy a horse
drawn combined street fusher and
sprinkler at $4,000. The proposition to
buy a motor-driVen f1usher was aban-
doned as all contracts in excess of
$4,000 must be submitted to a vote OF
the people, and the cost of this type
of fusher is about $4,000.
A proposed billboard ordinance, re-
curing a permit and payment of a
$50 license fee, passed Its first read
ing. The proposed ordinance was
drawn by City. Atty. James A. Gar
rity following complaint of heavy
snowdrifts on the Dilworth end of
the East Pike, caused by the huge
billboards erected just within the
city limits.
The city clerk and each of the three
patrolmen were allowed salary in
creases of IS a month, and it was de-
cided to rent an office for the use o.
the city attorney. The compensation
of the city assessor was laid over and
will be fixed after that officer is
elected.
Complaints of weak gas pressure in
some parts Of the city will be inves-
tigated.

Can you tell me why the

placed by an inexperienced man who

than ever before? One required two
weeks for repairs. We have had

gestion just now?
Il think I understand why the
President said to us when we as
sured him OF our support In operat-
ing the railroads that he was glad
to hear the operatives would assist
the government. You have taken
over the supervision of the railroads,
but you have left the management
entirely in the hands Of the former
owners. They can make a success

TRYLAFOLLElTE
Public Trial Should End Is
Opinion of Governor
of Wisconsin
(By Associated Press.)

Watertown, Wis, Feb. Gov. E.
L. Philip, addressing a mass meet
ing here last night, said that If
Senator La Toilette in the perform
ance of his duty in the United States
senate, or elsewhere, has committed
an offense against the government,
the United States senate is the only
court in which he can be tried, and
that august body should give him
a prompt and fair trial, and if ii
finds him guilty, it Should expel him
from that body. If, on the other
hand, he has committed no offense
against the government, and Elm an
unbiased investigation ii is found
that he has done nothing that dis
qualities him as a senator or a pa
triotic citizen, the United States
senate should say so and the public
trial Of Senator La Toilette should
end.

that ample funds may be provided.
A census taken by The Waterman
Examiner, leading publication Of
the Baptist church, indicates that
more than 200,OOO Lutheran young
men are in government service. II
even 200 army pastors are provided,
it would mean that each one Of these
pastors would have a congregation Of

The reports from camps and can

new ATTACK ON
WAR MACHINE
BY WADSWORTH
Republican Senator Calls
1t "Conglomeration of
Scattered Agencies"

Washington, Feb. 5.-America's
war making machinery was pictured
as a "conglomeration of ambitious
and scattered agencies, incapable of
teamwork, in an address in the SEN
ate today by Senator Wadsworth, a
Republican member of the military
affairs committee.
The speech renewed the debate
over war efficiency which occupied
the senate all day yesterday after
Senator Hitchcock, a Democratic
! committeeman, had delivered sim
| liar arraignment of the lack of CO.
ordination in the governments acti-
vities.
without detailing army conditions
revealed by the military committees
war inquiry with which he said the
country is now fairly familiar, Sen
ator Wordsworth confined himself
largely to an argument for the
proposed legislation for Capitalization
Of war making agencies. President
Wilson cannot coordinate these
agencies, he said, and with a long
war in prospect, radical steps to
unity the nations efforts are neces-
sary.
He recounted difficulties arising
through indiscriminate priority or
uSIS anu competition III the puE-
chase Of supplies; delays on account
Of departmental red tape" and the
absence of power in the council of
National Defense.
mo one in his senses would pro-
pose that any other office be created
to take away from the President the
powers the constitution confdes to
him, he continued. 1T cannot be
done. 1t is unthinkabIe.
II realize that some may contend
that the President can make all these
decisions and therefore there is no
need for any additional element in
our wartime machinery. My con-
tention is that be he ever so humble.
no president-no human being-can
perform such a task. It is utterly
impossible for one man to examine
into all these intricate questions. The
days and nights are not long
enough.
Uses Chart To Illustrate.
Illustrating his argument from a
large chart hung on the senate wall
with Secretary Bakers reorganiza-
ton plan and that of the committee
shown together, Senator Wadsworth
called attention to the existing vast
Of official, semi-officia1 and
purely advisory agencies, bureaus
and other bodies which, he asserted,
are not co-ordinated, consulting or
haTmonizing.
On the railroads, the senator de-
clared, goods with blue tagged prior
ity orders have exceeded normal |
and in the east S6 per
cent Of all freight was so tagged.
What has been the resuIt?" he |
asked. "a hopeless jam and conges-
ton OF our railway transportation /
facilities. A million three hundred /
thousands tons Of munitions end sup |
plies are piled upon the docks along /
our Atlantic coast, billed to France
and Italy alone. Some are deter
oriating rapidly.
He also criticized the governments
handling OF the coal industry.
Other emergencies will overtake
u.s., Senator Wadsworth said in con-
clusion. IF we are wise and prudent |
and farsighted, we shall establish
some agency in our government,

sELF.APpOINTED GUARDIANS.

Self-appointed guardians of the worlds con- duct are not lacking; not even Alaska. And how they crop out now and again, is mystery to most of us Here we have John Ballaine, for mer Alaskan-when occasions suited him-who has preferred charges against Riggs as governor of Alaska. Simultaneously, we have Maloney and Mrs. Hatcher cropping out in an effort to reform the Democratic Machine. In the former, we find the he has always been at the head of some sensational charges against successful men. In Maloney we have man who holds territorial position and who finds time to work for his personal if not for others personal in- terest, meanwhile drawing his salary. In the latter we have an arch-reformer who thrives in reforming others, but who neglects to reform herself, in that she wanders off, leaving the "old man. to shift for himself in the wilderness of Alaska while she goes on reforming others. But why don't they stay at home and try to look at themselves as others see them? In our opinion, they would surely find work to do in their own reform. At least that is the way it looks to us But by admitting as much, we class ourself as reformer. Really, this world is made up of re- formers; and the difference lies only in this: In some, the tendency to reform is exercise over others, while others reform themselves first. But when we consider the subject with all fairness, must admit that we are all reformers-of others. Even the Kaiser appears to be imbued with the same notion

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Tomorrow will be great day all over the states in that every other city or town will try to outdo the other in their eagerness to subscribe to the third Liberty Loan. Great parades and all kinds of doings are being prepared in a spirit of enthusiasm for the cause which is worthy of our every effort Shall Ketchikan lag behind? We believe not. AS 8 matter of fact, the people here are leaders. and not followers. Ketchikan leads in everything, except in measles and other contagious diseases. Juneau leads in that. Aside from this, ketchikan has always led and shall continue 10 do so, and the coming campaign for the sales of government bonds will be no ex- ception. There may not be much excitement among the population but the spirit will be there and action is what counts. In this case, action means subscription for Ketchkan's allotment of s65. .000
