UNDOING WICK MADE DAMAGE.

It is illustrative of the Wickersham idea of politics that Delegate Sulzer has had to ntercede with the Interior Department undo positive injury to the Territory resulting from Judge Wickershams cam paign of misrepresentation. Judge Wickersham alarmed prospectors and miners and others by his repeated declaration that the resolution eleminat- ing necessity of work mining claims for 1917 and 1918 void Delegate Sulzer was appealed to by those interested and he wired the Interior Department and got reply from Assistant Secretary of the Interior Vogelsang which quickly and effectively demonstrated that Wickersham was simply talking for votes and careless of the injury he doing.

Nothing To Do

He gets to work at nine or ten,
 And takes a little snooze; Or goes out for paper, then
 He reads the daily news.

 He's always killing time. Unless, perchance, some maiden fair

 Say five or six a day; He hasn't got thing to do
 But pass the time, away. So all day long he'll sit and fan, Or snore with haMclosed eyes; For he is clerking for man

Sugar Cards October First

At joint meeting of the food adj
ministrators and dealers representing
nearly every town in Orleans county,
recently held here, it was decided to
place the entire county on sugar
card basis. It will go into effect
October and will be in line with the
larger part of the state which has
already adopted the plan.
It has no relation to the permits
issued for canning and only deals
with the ration of two pounds per
month for each member of a house
hold.
The cards will be issued by the
local food administrator on some day
TO be set apart toward the end of
September. They should be applied
for by the head of the family in
whose name the card will be issued.
When a sale is made by any dealer,
the. number of pounds will be punch
ed out Of the card which must al
ways be taken OF sent in to the store
when sugar is bought.
Under the card plan two weeks
allowance (instead of two pounds)
may be delivered at one sale; for in
stance, in the case of a family of ten,
the allowance monthly is twenty
pounds, and this may be purchased in
ten pound lots once in two weeks
No dealer can deliver more than the
card shows the customer is entitled
to.
It is believed that this system will
correct the unfairness known to be
tpracticed by some in buying in excess
of their allowance, and result in a
more equitable distribution and also
that it will result in great conven-
fence to the dealers.

PRESS COMMENT
Where the Blame Lies


The Anarchists of Russia, having
destroyed their Army and murdered
their Emperor, are now bringing
upon their wretched country the ven
geance of cruel and ruthless enemy.
There are no dfegs in the cup of
wrath which unhappy Russia is now
being forced to drink through her
folly in listening to the siren voices
of Liberalism and Revolution. The
Anarchists are showing themselves
infinitely more cruel than the worst
of the Tsa1s without any compensa-
lions of strong government or settled
order or security. The Bolsheviks
have taught the world that anarchy is
more cruel than tyranny, and that
revolution is worse than war. It is
a terrible thought that Russia has
fallen so low that she can look for
help only from the foreign invader
whether from East OF. West. Even
the Germans, although they bring
slavery and exploitation, are prefer
red to the horrors of revolution. But
it is certain that the Germans TO-
mented TIE revolution from which
they are now pretending to rescue
Russia.-London Morning Post.

Soldier Told to Save Pay for Income
Assessments, Says III

Observation-Disclosures of soldiers
who formerly were successful business
men, in paying last years income tax
on this years pay, are illustrated by a
story brought to Washington by an
officer serving at one of the southern
cantonments.
Last February, the officer said, he
explained to the men of his command
that all married men would have to
pay tax on all their last years earn
ings over $4,000, while all unmarried
men would have to pay on all income
over $1,000.
Coming to him later one of the men,
private, said:
ST guess I won't be able to pay that
income tax. I haven't any money"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the of
ficer, .'you have until June to pay it
and you can save it out of your pay by
that time"
s'T'm afraid I couldn't" responded
the private, 81 made $4,000 last year

RABBITS A PEST NO LONGER
Australia Finds the One-Time Curse
Now a Profitable Source Of
Revenue.

MISUNDERSTANDING, which were
once the curse of Australia, as they
have been to lesser extent in the
southwestern United States, now are
providing a profitable source Of reve-
nue. and at the same time helping to
win the war by increasing the food
supply.
Official dispatches received here say
the British board of trade has ordered
100000 crates of skinned rabbits,
which will require the killing of 21,-
100000 rabbits, weighing 3600O,000
pounds after dressing. Previously the
rabbits were shipped with the skins
on, but inconvenience was experienced
at hospitals in England in removing
the fur.
How to dispose of the skins is caus-
ing the Australians speculation. There
is a ready market for them in this
country, but tonnage is scarce.

urged US to celebrate the day by hav-

even an extra flag flying in Newport,
in fact when we started to get into
this war our houses and blocks were
covered with flags, today just as we
begin to win victory hardly a flag
appears. The celebrating of the
fourth of July has almost passed
away because they have been teach

did not need a big noise to be patri-
