WALSH SUGGESTS SUPREME COURT

laoofs Fearless Advocate Names Seven PROGRAM
Strengthening Democracy the United States

Some time ago Frank P. Walsh then
chairman Of the u. s. Industrial Relations
commission, was asked for his ideas of a
practical and industrial program for labor
His answer was remarkable one and
is very timely at this moment. He stated: T.:
In recent article made bold to offer
seven suggestions for ameliorating indus
trial conditions in the United States and
looking toward the strengthening of de-
mocracy in the republic. They NAV be
useful in suggestive capacity. They will,
at least, arouse thought and criticism.
Seriatim, they are:
1. That the supreme courts of the
United States and of the several states
should at once abdicate the autocratic
powers they usurp of declaring laws passed
by the representatives of the people to be
null and void. -
q That general amnesty be declared
hberating all prisoners of industrial wars
now confined in jails and penitentiaries Of
the nation. The number Of these is an
palling and nearly all were imprisoned On
trumped-up charges following Industrial
conflicts. -

POTATOES SAVE WHEAT AND
FATS

Herbert Hoover is soon to starr q
campaign for larger consumption of
potatoes. There is an abundant SUM-
ply of them in the land, and unless
they are eaten to a larger extent than
in the past many Will be left on hand
when the new crop. comes on the mar.
ket.
Potatoes are rich in starch, and
they make a substitute for bread. The
desire of the food administration is
to induce the people to eat less bread
and more potatoes. The wheat thus
saved is needed in Europe the pota.
toes cannot be shipped there.
Potatoes are now cheap, and fami-
lies should buy them by the sack
before the price goes up. There is
prospective supply enough to enable
each family to have potatoes in some
from at every meal.
There is no way of cooking pota-
toes that is better than baking them
or steamtng them with their Jackets
on. In this way all of the food quaIf-
ties are retained, and what is of more
importance, fats used in frying them
are saved And fats are as short as
is wheat
The wise housewife who has not
done so will lay in a sack of potatoes
at once.
She Will enlist Mr.. Murphy to aid
her to fight the Hun.

TRoTzKYs WORK FOR RUSSIA

When Leon Trotzky, who had been
a writer on a Russian revolutionary
newspaper in New York, sailed to
Russia after the revolution on a
ticket that his friends had bought him.
he announced that he would soon
bring peace to Russia.
Since the overthrow of Kerensky
this bespectacled visionary, who would
try to breast any wave when he had
never learned to swim in smooth
water, has allowed the Germans to
win victory that would have been
impossible had Russia stayed in the
war.
Germany has succeeded in dividing
Russia and obtaining for her own par
poses the Russian provinces ON the
Baltic sea.
Trotzky, because his wits were out
wool-gathering, has allowed Germany
to achieve all her aims as far as Rus
STA is concerned. If Germany can
maintain her Russian conquests after
the war is over Russia will not have
a port on the Baltic and there VIII
be a Prussianized Poland set up as a
buffer state between Germany and
Russia. The Russians will have ceased
to be an obstacle to the eastward ex-
pansion of the Teutonic peoples.
Trotzky could have done no better
had he been a German instead of a
Russian official. He could have done
no worse were he a candidate for the
premiership of Bedlam.
Before this we have pointed out
that the future of Russia is wrapped
up in the success of the alliance
against Germany.
If Germany gets a draw in this war
Russia is doomed to become feeder
for German industry, with no CONNER
cial or Industrial future of her own
All of which shows that dreamers
are of no practical benefit unless they
are also doors.

UNRECONSTRUCTIBLE

Another years campaign is on in
Alaska, and they are all seemingly

those who are taking their politics
seriously the year will be a worri-
ment, and for those who have dis
passionate interest in the troubles and
trials of the politicians the years

T. Looking back over the years of
politics which have been in Alaska
(and, they are mercifully Iew) the
history of Alaska party-politics has
been such as to prove that the Alas

unreconstructible-h is an Alaskan
first, with all the independence and
-"orneriness" of the independent man,

he knew it in the almOst-fOrgOtten
days of the Outside, he will on 'prin-
ciple" put in with his old party at
the opening of the campaign ("habit"
would probably be a better word to
use here than ''princ1ple') but with
Alaskan principles he will ditch" his
parent-party the minute it's platform
or its actions fail to suit his hair

and parties. Outside it is measure,
not men," inside it is men, not meas

with the fable of ALI Bahia and his
Forty Thieves" the Alaskan feels in
clined to believe that the measure in
which politics are measured has gum
or glue in the bottom of the meas

melting pot of politics (most of the

dentally almost every Alaskan is ar
inspector of weights and measure!

be an unholy sight in the eyes of the
other men, he is HIS man, and tina
is enough for him. The'm man may no

TELLS OF THE WAR.
Lieut.. r. A. Bowlby Speaks Before
Marshalltown Club.

An audience of about $50 men and
women gathered Friday evening at the
Marshalltown Club to hear an address
by Lieut.. Robert a. Bowlby, represent
ing the national service section Of the
United States shipping board emergen-
cy fleet corporation.
Lieut. Bowlby gave a running talk
on the war, drawing upon his own ex-
periences and telling many anecdotes
some Of them being Of most humor-
Gus character. He especially emphasized
thatparents need give themselves no
worry or concern about the treat
ment and care their sons were receiving

nothing but good news be sent them,

couraging letters. and of the help
cheerful, hopeful. sensible messages
were to the morale Of the men in the
war zone.
He further described the wonderful
comradeship of the men Of the allied
armies, described life in the trenches.
told of many heroic deeds Of the men
on the fighting line and pictured some
thing of the methods Of the actual
warfare. He sounded a warning
against some Of the books that have
been written and published on the war.
which, he claimed, were very mislead-
ing IN many respects.
His description OF going "cver the
top, with its preliminary preparation,
was most interestingly and vividly
drawn. and much that he told was new
to his hearers.
He paid glowing tribute to the Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, and Salvation Army
workers on the field of battle, and said
that we at home can hardly realize the
meaning and worth of it all to the men
engaged in the great conflict. To the
workers at home, he-urged them to
back up all those who had gone to the
front, and reminded them that doing
their bit" really meant doing their
best-their all.
In closing he said that the great
problem America will have to face will
be the care Of the wounded who will
return. they will need to be understood,
must be dealt with sympathetically and
patiently, and helped to take up life
anew.
