THE INTERIOR JOURNAL

Mr.. Watterson, who once referred
to Woodrow Wilson as the crook
from New Jersey, has never been
able to do the great man Justice or
give him real credit for serving the
country to the best of a conserated
ability. He even invents wind mills
to fight that he may thereby discredit
the man who is nearer the heart of
the people of America than any man
who ever lived. He now indirectly
accuses him of scheming to have him
self elected for third term, against
the unwritten law of the land. when
it is doubtful If such thing ever en-
tered his mind. It is a great pity
that the greatest living editor should
waste his valuable time and tax his
energy in trying to make the people
believe that the president is self
seeking raw head and bloodybones,
who will catch us all IL we don't look
out. We are not of those who think
that the king can do no wrong nor
that any public servant is above hon
est criticism, but it is not fair nor
Just to invent things for the pur-
pose of basing invidious complaint.
Tangible proof of the effort of the
German-American Alliance to elect
Hughes president, together with the
large amount of money it used for
the purpose, was furnished when an
investigation committee of Congress
brought it out in evidence. The Ger
mans all over the country were urged
to vote for Hughes, who would have
been elected, the officials of the ALI
ance say. had it not been for the "sa-
bre rafting Roosevelt" When The
history of the campaign of 1916 is
written it will disclose proof OF Ger
man effort that will eclipse every
thing now believed to have been
done by the kaiser and his tools for
the success Of the Republican ticket.
The way the government is ribbed
by profteers and others who would
get rich while the rest of the coun-
try is sacrificing and saving to help
win the war is a shame and scan
dial. 1t has been paying $4,000 a
year rent for the Cape May hotel
sold the other day for just $1,000
less than the rental price or $4,000.
One reason that the government is
imposed upon by eXtortionate de-
mands is that many of its agents
have gotten their places by fayorit-
ism and know no more about bust
ness than hog does of holiday and
care less.
It does not take the people long to
get used to most anything. The put !
ting up of clocks an hour, for the al !
legged purpose of daylight saving, has !
been attended with little inconyeni- !
ence and the new time is running as
as can be. The fact is the |
change in this section is not so great. |
A score or so of years ago we had |
to change the clock back some % |
to conform to standard time, |
so we only lose about 40 minutes |
from original so-called suntme,
which was an arbitrary arrangement. |
Chairman E. T. Franks, of the re-
publican State Central Committee,
says it and it must be so. 1t should
be anyway. Here it is: amy re-
publican who does not march should
er to shoulder with Woodrow Wilson
to win this war should be lined up
against wall and SHOT" ContInu-
ing he said: 81 am out of politics
until the war is won." Hurrah for
Franks.
All things come to him who waits.
George Mcclure, of Washington
City, applied 25 years ago fora job
as cemetery Waterman at aVsalary
of $40 per month. He has justsheen
given the place and is said to be the
happiest man in the capital city.
The lepers of Molokai, one of the
Hawaiian Islands have bought $4,000
worth of Liberty Bonds. Are you
going to let leper be more patriotic
than you are?

ty will make next Wednesday. Harry
c. Baughman's excellent farm will be
sub-divided and sold to the highest
bidders ~
