Don't Waste Paint

Nine out of ten of us are just human enough to
excaim ''It served him right!' when hear how
a disoyal shipyard worker was dipped in paint
and ridden on rail.
And, in sense, it did serve him right. Any
man, American born or immigrant, who is so yell
low in spirit that he will accept the good shipyard
pay of Uncle Sam and while on the job for which
he was given those good wages will plot to hinder
the United States in its great Preparations
that man deserves just about any punishment he
can receive.
And yet this sort of treatment, an example Of
which occurred at the Todd shipyard Saturday, is
the wrong way to 60 about curing evil.
1t is, you'll have to admit, unlawful, un-Ameri-
1t is mob law. 1t is brutalizing. 1t is very
likely to make serious mistakes. 1t leads to hOr-
rors and excuses such as Tacoma cannot tolerate.
1t is just little too much on the order OF Ger
man atrocities. 1t furnishes the pro-German an
argument, his only real argument against Ameri-
cans.
Such episodes have become increasingly common
the country in the last few weeks. The prime
reason no doubt is the laXity with which civil
thorities have handled the alien enemy business.
There has been too much soft cushion intemment
for men who ought to face firing Squads too much
mere warning for Germans who should be put
at hard labor in prison camps.
Let the workers in the shipyards continue their
vigilance; nay, let them redoube it. But, friends
if one of your number shows a luke-warmness
ostracize him; don't manlandle him. If he is open
ly disloyal, march him with all speed to the mill
tary police and demand that he be dealt with
vigorously, but legally. If he plots destruction,
make the authorities understand that the full pen
atty must be eXacted in order to serve exam
pie and warning to other Huns in midst
But don't make one Of these POtsdam tools
martyr They aren't deserving of such an honor.
Show them that we observe the democratic princi-
pie of law and order for which our nation battles.
Show them that we are smart enough to stamp
out Hun espionage without STOPPING to Hun brnt
ishness.

Story About a Fish

Mrs. Pearl Granger, affinity, aged "a, explains
it thus relatively to Sociological Prof Thomas,
aged 55:
''He would be so solicitous about my throat
being exposed to the draft
"IIe was so nice to the waiter and would watch
to see that he didn't pour too much cream in my
coffee'
"He would remember to pass the salt or the
butter at just the right time"
81 just thought how much fun is taken to the
graveyard, and didn't care
1t reminds us of Story About Fish. It's q
true story, as can be seen by our giving names
Anyhow, the purple and yellow viOlets are smil-
ing in the damp pastures, Jack-in-pulpit is preach
ing in the wet leaves in the woods, old Robin Red
breast is chirruping, the dogwood is a cloud of
white blossoms, and there's aroma of angle
in the soft breeze that makes any fish story
bully.
One spring day, many years ago las a fellows
ife-thread spins out, there were two boats con-
tanning fishermen on Aurora Lake, Ohio. One
boat held Bent. Highly, lawyer, and John Sweeney,
Detroit and Cleveland publishers the other, John
Farley, mayor Of Cleveland, and Bob Paine news
paper man. Sweeney bet Paine quart bottle Of
"Old Hennessy" hair-oil that he'd catch the most
bass going around the east side of the lake, while
the other boat was going around the west side.
Well, finally the boats got within 40 feet of each
other, at the upper end of the lake, and Sweeney
sang out, SCOT six! How many9"
"Six here, tOo!'' answered Paine, but he had
barely got it out of his mouth when his rival yell
ed, "Another That hair-oils for this boat" and
sure enough, his rod was bending and dipping and
midway between the boats the water was boiling
with the struggles of fish.
But in about 10 seconds, Paine also let out
yell His rod had gone to bobbing and jerking to
beat the band. Finally the fishermen reeled in
Well, SIR what do you thinks Both had hooked the
same fish! That old bass was so starved that he d
grabbed Sweeney's bait and then gone right over
and nailed Paine's. Of course, both men claimed
the fish, so, they had to declare the contest tie
and neither boat got the hairoil at least not the
quart that had been wagered.
Gee but there's dandy moral to this story:
Fishing for things is best when they're real
hungry.

mistake pleasure for happiness
and care more for pleasure than
even the pleasure giver.
Distraction to me has always
been something I was rather

good time was distraction.
Why am l thinking and writing
all this?

No, the Stars and Stripes must

Dear Miss Grey: Just a few
lines to Friend Layman.
I read where you, Friend
Layman, was about to surren-
der your religion, because God
has permitted such bloody
war to continue. My dear
friend, this is a most terrible
time to overthrow your religion.
Here, when we know not, prob
ably the world war has begun,
we should try to be more
safnt-like.
Jesus of Nazareth never lived
and died without sorrows.
God, with whom all things
are possible, might have inter-
fered with this war in time to
prevent the most awful part.
But such Interference might
have prevented accomplishment
of His own purpose. which we
short-sighted mortals cannot
see. His purpose was to show,
and to prove, both to men and
angels. the evil consequence re-
sulting from its violation.
There's silvery lining in
every cloud, SO let us cheer up
and feel we will soon gain the
silvery lining. Cheer, up,
Friend Layman, even now when
the darkest cloud is above us.
