CONSERVATION OF PAPER

Every newspaper publisher
must show Is per cent reduction
ofpaper used in his publication be-
fore the first of November, is the
order from Washington
For that reason and because it
was necessary for the Journal to
use four extra pages last week in
boosting the Liberty loan, it is
necessary for us to make a cut of
two pages this, and possibly, next
week.
The regular size of eight pages
will be again restored. We hope
our subscribers will approve oul
effort to follow the orders of the
government in this respect.

OBSERVATIONS
Continued from First Page.


Now that the foul beast of Ber-
lin is driven into a corner with
certain defeat staring him in the
face, he resorts to his old tricks OF
deception in order to obtain a
breathing spell, by asking for an
armistice while peace proposals
are discussed. A leading French
paper says: "The cornered beast
draws lin it's claws and offers us
its blood-stained paw" The
French know the fend with whom
they have been compelled to deal
and do not underestimate his
fiendishness or his cunning. The
only answer to be given to any
proposal coming from Germany
must be unconditional surren-
DER" if the people of the allied
countries are to be assured that all
their sacrifices have not been in
vain.

German soldiers are learning to

Economy is also the road to the
ownership of liberty bonds.
One of the beautiful things

the Germans.
Austro-H Hungarion soldiers have
arrived on the west front, probably
to help the Germans retreat. They
know how.
We have forgotten how much
pay the German soldier receives,
but whatever it is it is clear that
he is having a nice little run for
his money.
People who fail to see the hand
of God in the war do not compre-

are very likely to share the fate of

The German Grown Princess has

POSTMASTER
A. s. BURLESON

Postmaster General Burleson seems
to be the only discordant instrument
in the administration band. He
sounds altogether out of tune with
the policy of the government with
regard to the labor and business in
terests Of the country.
Since the telegraphs and telephones
were placed under his control the
cost to the public is more and the
service is worse than it was under
private corporation management.
His sole aim seems to be to make
money out of the government
utilities in his hands. He follows
public be damned" policy.
One of the main objects of taking
over the telegraph and telephone
business of the country was to deal
out just, fair treatment to employ
ees and to avoid tying up of COM
munications, when the government
and business could least afford the
inconvenience and loss attendant upon
strike.
The very things the government is
trying to accomplish Burleson is
trying to prevent.
His advisors are ex-high-s salaried
employees and attorneys of the Bell
Telephone Company and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company.
The reinstatement of the locked
out telegraphers of Seattle is long
overdue. They were fired for join
ing union, and they will stay fired
if Burleson has his way about it.
He is making telephone rates in
this state so high that it shocks the
State public service commission =
think of it!
His appointments to high posi-
tions in the telephone service are
tools of the Bell Telephone Com
pany.
1t seems his chief advisor in the
of the telegraphs is
Carlton of the Western Union, the
man who, more than any other,
caused the government to take over
the telegraph lines.
He has been insulting and unjust
TO the post office employees.
He has made the public sore and
the longer he stays on the job the
fewer friends the administration
will have.
He should be compelled to mend
his ways or resign, or be dismissed.

Savings Stamps.

To the Honorable Woodrow Wilson,

Newspaper dispatches indicate

which will be the most important
matter confronting the delegates to

WILL THEY HANG
TOM MOONEY?

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.-
Thomas J. Mooney issued a state
ment from his cell in the con-
demned row at San Quentin today,
referring his belief that he will be
saved from the gallows, despite the
refusal of the United States su-
preme court to review his case.
The statement follows:
"The highest court of the land,
the supreme court of California,
the appellate court of California,
and the superior court have said
that a corrupt district attorney can
use perjured testimony and can
conceal and suppress material evil
dence to convict an American citi-
zen.
'These courts have said that a
citizen so convicted is without a
remedy so far as judgment is con-
cerned. Then they wonder why
some workers become infected with
Bolshevikism
my case is now finally out of the
courts and in the hands of Governor
Stephens on my petition for par
don, which petition was filed with
Governor Stephens in March, 1918.

tire world has petitioned President
Wilson and Governor Stephens, pro-

FRANK p. WALSH
HAS RESIGNED

Frank p. Walsh, joint chairman
with ex-President VIM. H. Taft of
the National War Labor Board, has
resigned.
Walsh declared that he found it
imperative to return to his legal
practice at Kansas City.
1t was reported today that former
President Taft, the other joint
chairman might also resign, both
of the men having taken up their
duties only for the period of the
war.
1t is likely that the President will
continue the board under a chair
man or formulate a new one to take
care of wage problems growing out
of the readjustment period.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Many of us have pledged ourselves
to buy a certain amount of War
Savings Stamps before the end of
this year. Let us all see that these
pledges are kept.
Let us go farther and see how
many more War Savings Stamps we
can buy Furthermore, let each
one of us be a missionary to spread
the gospel of buying War Savings
Stamps and supporting the govern
ment to all our friends and acquaint-
ances in all of our lodges, social
gatherings, unions, and religious as
semblages.
How many millions of the Ameri-
can people desire that the end of
this war shall signify to the largest
possible degree the end of all wars
Whatever this number may be, let
each and every man, woman and
child, who has understanding enough
to have a conviction upon the fore
going questions, back up their con-
viction upon the foregoing questions,
back up their convictions with their
votes in the form of Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps and thus
show that they are willing and an
xious to support the war to the
finish.
