More than five years ago Senator
Cummins of Iowa introduced and had
passed a resolution providing for the
investigation of an 'inSidious lobby"
which was then said to be operating
for the purpose of preventing the pass
age of the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill. That committee has never made
any report and we do not know
whether it found an "insidious lobby :"
for that matter, we don't recollect
what it did discover.
Now comes Senator Borah, follow
ing the reference of President Wilson
in his last message to congress relative
to 'profiteers" and insists upon an in
VeStigation to find out who the prof.
teers are, and incidentally as to why
they are allowed to operate. The prob
abilities are that no investigation will
find very much more than has the lob
by investigating committee which is
made money out of the war; men al
ways make money out of wars; the
great difficulty is in finding the Grim
inal, either in lobbying or profiteering.
Neither may be commendable, and
they are Oftentimes disreputable, but
investigations which cannot put the ac-
tual stamp of criminality upon people
are not very effective.

In West Virginia three former
United States senators are candidates
for the seat now occupied by Senator
Nathan Golf William E. Chiffon and
Clarence Watson, who served together
for number of years, are contesting
for the Democratic nomination. Davis
Elkins is a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination. Davis Elkins served
for a few months, being appointed by
the governor to succeed his father the
late Stephen B. Elkins The West Vir-
ginia legislature elected Watson to sue
coed Davis Elkins. West Virginia is
considered a close state politically.
Whenever there is 5-to-4 decision
by the Supreme court it means
that the question is settled for the
time being, but subject to reversal
when the court changes, or when, as
sometimes happens, change in the

look forward to an effort to amend the

national government which will make
plain the power of the government to
prohibit the transportation of goods
made by child labor. The child labor
law being declared unconstitutional by
5-to-4 decision means that a new
campaign will be started so as to Sc
cure the results which have been so
long sought for by the proponents of
this legislation.
Probably a few people recall the dra-
matte features attached to the enact
ment of the child labor law which has
just been declared unconstitutional.
Congress was about to adjourn in 1916
and the Democrats of the senate had
decided that they would not pass the
child labor law. In fact, quite COM
pact organization had been formed to
talk the bill to DEATH Then word
came from the White House that Pres
ident Wilson wanted that child labor
law enacted before congress adjourned,
and with considerable grumbling the
Democratic leaders took up the burden
and put it through.

one of the labor leaders in discussing
the strike in the Pacific Steel com
pany's plant, because there are hun
dreds of us who have boys in the
trenches and they need the stuff which
the ships we are building will carry
them. But we feel that we would be
doing our boys a great injustice
should we not fight over here to main
tain decent industrial conditions IN

The labor leaders need shed no croc-
odile tears, and expect thereby to gain
the sympathy and forgiveness of the
soldiers for their reasonable calling
of strikes in vital war work They
aren't fooling the boys a little bit.
One of the soldiers in answer to the
above said:
"You fellows needn't worry about
our future; we'll take care of t'at.
The thing for you to do is to furnish
us the things to fight with NOW.
That's what's worrying us guys. Are
you fellows going to keep us supplied
with grub and guns while we're over
there? The only thing the solliers
are thinking about is winning the war

LINING UP WITH OTHERS

TO the Editor:
Several business men of late have
been considering the advisability of
putting their business on strictly
cash basis. | can assure the business
men of Leavenworth that there never
was more opportune time, or time
when the business men were more
justified in placing their business on
cash basis than the present. They
are today buying goods on market
that some day will mean, when the
slump comes, a serious loss; ano any
losses from bad debts will further
help to drain their resources. They
are today paying price for labor far
in excess of any extra profit derived
from goods purchased prior to year
ago.
The railroad man, the mill man,
the logger, and the ranch i.s.ii,ai -.-hc
cannot pay cash for his daily needs
on the present scale of wage is not
store in this town is today doing
business on a strictly cash basis and
is getting big share of the trade in
its individual lines.
Paying cash as we go will be better
for you and me, it will enhance our
5moral independence, and stabilize us
as good citizens. McAdoo has Just
passed an edct that the pay of rail
road employees cannot be garnishcd
for indebtedness. Railroad men as
class are the best asset that the bust
ness man has to deal with but like
every other class the fold contain
some black sheep.
Have you business men the moral
courage to adopt measure that will
spell the elimination of a mountain of
worry; safeguard you against loss and
liquidation. 1t can only be done,
however, if you can trust, and be
honest with each other.

Men are scarce now. They will be
still scarcer after the new draft takes
between fifty and one hundred men
from Leavenworth. There are some
things that women cannot do that
must be left to the men. But admin
istrating the laws of the city is not
one of them.
them.
Why not elect women to the places
to be vacated by men? This sugges-
ton is thrown out in order that the
question may receive considera-

ltAVfNWORTH BOY GIVES UP
LIFE THAT WORLD MAY Be FREE
Heine Johnson Killed in France July
12-Grew to Manhood Here-One
of First to 60 to War.

Victor Henry johnson is the first
Leavenworth boy to make the su-
preme sacrifice, that the world may be
freed of the German menace to civil
ization. Last Sunday, at p. M, his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin Johnson received message from
the war department at Washington,
that their son, Victor Henry Johnson,
was killed in action in France, on July
18th, 1918. Of course it was a great
shock to his aged mother and father,
but bravely and courageously have
they become reconciled to the death of
their son. They will find certain
comfort in the fact that their son
died on the battle field, fighting in de-
fense of the principles of the govern
ment under which he was born and
reared. He died like many others
have died, and many more will die,
in defense of those things that every
true American holds dear, life, liberty
and the pusuit Of happiness under a
government made and sustained by
the people themselves.
Heine, as he was best known here,
came to Leavenworth in 1906, with his
parents, from Winona, Mimi, and
grew to manhood here. He was 26
years, months and II days old the
day he was killed. He is the second
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin johnson.
and besides his parents, is survived by
a brother, Art Johnson, and a sister,
Mrs. T. c. Mckenzie, both of whom
reside in Leavenworth.
He went into the service October,
1917, as a bugler, and was sent to
Camp Lewis for training. He land
ed in France Dec. 81, 1917 He was
a member of the Sunset Division.
The time and circumstances of his
death indicate that he was in the fight
which began July 18th at Chateau
Thierry, which was the beginning of
the present drive, which has proved
so disastrous to the Germans.
Heine was one of th original
members of McDaniel's Kid Band
He served tpree and a half years
apprenticeship as a jewler with Frank
E. Carlquist. He was a fine type of
young manhood and was universally
esteemed by all who knew his. His
death is universally regretted by the
entire population of Leavenworth.
