"A FUNNY THING"

"A funny thing happened in Everett Washington, according to letter written by Herbert Mahler of Chicago, one of the defendants in the l. w. w. trial now in progress at the lake metropolis and read before Judge Landis at recent session of the court The funny thing was what happened after the owner of certain box factory in the state of Washington became actively a leader Of the vigilantes A quo- tation from the letter says:
 He was chesty guy until Sunday night. He owned box factory worth $50,000. He isn't so chesty now, as all he owns Is an ash pile that Is worth about 50 cents. Vengeance Is mine, saith the Lord. l am going down to join the Holy Rollers, as God IS with us, the oppressed; or pos sibly it was the cat
 Writing to C. L. Lambert George Speed and ". D. Haywood from Everett, Mahler told of so-called labor fight going on there, saying:
 The fight will continue a la cat Would have wrecked the jail but the sheriff gave permission to speak This fight is just the beginning of the attempt to drive the l. w. ". out of the lumber industry.
 We must win at any cost and give this burg such whipping that no others will want to start anything with us. We need men and money as the fight will not be easy. Any of the boys who are footloose can be used here but we expect to get most of our men from the harvest fields"

because the action of the federal govern ment in regard to the railroads was signiti- cant example, and will no doubt hasten ad- vances in charges for gas, electricity, street railway fares, etc., in compensation for the increased cost of doing business. The national railroads are marking steady prog ress. Better gross earnings are often re- ported, and net returns are guaranteed by. the government.
 The administration has also made lib eral preparation for necessary improve ments and equipment, having authorized expenditures of $946, 100000 during 1918, of which $2O6, 100000 will be for freight cars, $l99,000,000 for locomotives, $3S,- for bridges, trestles, etc, $3I 100000 for rails and tracks, $62,000,000 for shops, $96,000,000 for yards and sidings $47, 100000 for main tracks, $28,000,000 for passenger cars and $22,000,0 900 for sta lions. not to speak of a hos. of other out lays Such vast expenditures, necessitated by prolonged starvation, mean intense ac- tivity in the steel industry for many months to come Railroad shares have in conse- quence shown decided steadiness and not
 
 industrials has, however, been somewhat spotty; increased expenses and heavy taxes having in not a few instances materially affected dividend paying properties.
 ''The question of taxation Is still seri- ous problem. One-third of the cost of war is apparently to be paid out of taxes and these are to be doubled. There is general willingness to meet this great additional burden but there is nevertheless much crit icism concerning the injustices and confu- sion of the present law; also fear that unless the new taxes are judiciously ap- piled, they will dry up the sources of rev enue and new capital. For some reason there is much distrust in the competence of congress to draw up fair and effective measure and much more confidence is exhibited in Secretary McAdoo's proposals. severe as they seem to be.

"Thus Did'st Thou
 The Vase Gt SOiSSOnS'

In reading of the German advance upon Soissons and plunder of all that country side and destruction of all property, this editor is reminded of an old tale, or legend, of ancient Soissons, that is printed as abso- lute truth by no less authority than Guizot, in his History of France. Clovis, first king of the Franks, was camped for awhile at Soissons, and that was some 1900 years ago. Now Clovis was Christian king, and he had in his camp certain holy relics of the mother church at Rome, brought to him by an embassy sent by the pope. Among these relics was a most beautiful vase, blessed by the pope himself. One of the chieftains of Clovis army, a gigantic, uncouth, ruthless brute, of the Hunnish type, and, 1t may well be, of Hunnish blood, raised his battle axe in pure wantoness, one day during court ceremony, and smashed this holy vase. Clovis was scarcely secure enough on his throne then to offend this great chief, and so he swallowed the affront. But, some months later, safe in his own capital, and sure of united and devoted nation, as a result of his wife and strong rule, Clovis. at similar court cere- mony to the one at Soissons, called this chieftain before his throne and then rose up to his full heighth and struck him life less at his feet with his battle axe. Thus did st thou the vase at Soissons, exclaimed Clovis as he struck the mighty blow Thus did'st thou the vase at Soissons, General Foch will one day say to the Hun when the allied armies have reached their full strength, and Foch, like Clovis, long pas sive under wrong and biding his time, judges that the time has come to strike. And the result will be the same as 1t was in Clovis court that day when the bar barian fell, ifeless lump of clay before the shining axe

The eagles in France feel only con- tempt for the vultures at home, but do not fear them These ringing words, cabled by Captain Harry Wheeler, now an Amer ican soldier in France, Is the brave little ex-sheriff' answer to the wobblies and Pnli- ticians and agitators who have been yelp- ing so loud lately about the Bisbee depor- tation. As for the responsibility of that act, the captain assumes it himself, and speaks of it with pride and declares that he would, under the same circumstances. do the same thing again. He will come home, he says, when the war is over, if he is still alive, and gladly and proudly stand with his friends to undergo any tribulatior the politicians and l. w. W. sympathizers can inflict.

 Mir and Mrs Frank Logan Of the Hotel GadsGen, and a few of their friends enjoyed 9 special reel show at the Columbia theater Monday evening at the conclusion of the regular show. The pictures were of Mir and Mrs. Logan's 9-year-old daughter, Airline Logan, who is in the movies in Los Angeles. The little miss is unusually yivaCious. and her eacial expressions are considered by directors as splen- did for registration of her various emo tions,on the screen. The reel consisted of a series of dances which the little lady is doing in a big fairy play pro ductcion. The little film star will come to Douglas in August to visit her parents for several weeks, or as soon as she concludes the pictures which she is now starring in.
 In exact figures, supplied by the Women's thrift stamp committee, there was sold by the various com mittees S34S.1S worth or thrift stamps and war savings certificates as the re- suit of the tag day drive held Tues day in Tombstone. This far exceeds the highest expectations of the com mittee in charge, and Is the result of the hard work of the committees who saw that no one was overlooked.
 It also speaks highly of the people of Tombstone to go the limit on any thing pertaining to war work, and Is just another instance Of going over the top" This is only the first drive Of the campaign to end on June 26th and there are to be held two more tag days and a day on which the city will be canvassed before the campaign closes. 1T similar results as crowned efforts will be achieved Tombstone will easily reach her quota.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT

Henry Clews, the New York banker, sums up the railroad situation as follows:
 Not few light, power and local trans portation issues are selling at exceedingly low prices, and dividends have often been imperilled, if not impaired, by the advance in wage and other expenses, while charges for service remained unchanged It IS not unlikely that a turn for the better Is at hand,

If you are inclined to complain about your ice bill down here in the desert these hot days, stop and consider the case of the Chicago consumer. At least 70 per cent of the ice used in the great northern metro polls is natural ice, and yet the price for it is 50 cents per hundred, just the same as for the artificial ice. An investigation de- veloped the fact that it cost 60 cents per ton to cut and store natural ice. And yet it retails for $l0 ton. Pretty nice little profit in this game.

Douglas International Representative Francis, of this county, was one of the members in the legislature, who fought the measure introduced and intended to prevent idling and loafing in the state. The bill IS a good one and when enforced will prevent the wobblies from herding in any industrial center for the purpose of stirring up trouble and strife between the honest workmen and their employers.

Austrian socialists are very bitter now against Philip Scheidemann, leader of the German socialists, for refusing to support them in their revolutionary movement against the house of Austria when the latter decided to continue the war to the bloody end at any cost. But what did these Austrian socialists expect of Scheidemann? :? He is Emperor Wilhelm s tool in all things that affect the house of Hohenzollern else he would not be permitted to live in Ger many He TALKS socialism but he ACTS autocracy. He, as well as most of the Ger man socialistic leaders, are merely stool pigeons for the German militarist party They encourage and aid Bolshevik in Russia or any radical uprising in Italy or England or an l. w. w. in the United States, BUT IT DOES NOT GO IN GER MANY! These Austrian dupes had plenty of evidence regarding Scheidemann long before he threw them down, but they would not see 1t.
