THE POLITICAL GOAT

The war has ended and left sew
|eral very important questions rela-
tive to development of. western oil
and water power industry hanging
in the air.
Even eighteen months of war cris-
is was not enough to jar our nation
al legislators into final action on
these subjects which have already
been pending for years.
"A few socialistically inclined gen.
tlemen have been able to block de-
velopment of these industries on gov
eminent reserves and thereby har-
ass and inconvenience thousands Of
Industries ad millions of people
and all for weat-simply to play
politics and try to force socialis-
tic experiment on the public.
The net result Of this dog in the
manger policy has been an unprece-
denied fuel and power shortage, dis.
Encouragement of industry. an incon-
venienced public. millions Of barrels
Of oil wasting in the ground. thous-
ands Of acres Of oil land that NO hand
u allowed to prospect on. and untold
millions Of horsepower wasting mer-
rily to the sea-and all for what
to carry on so-called conservation
theories At expense Of the great
western epsntry.
Such policy 10 = shame and dis
grace and an insult to the intslli-
|sencs Of the American people.

FEWER LIQUOR BARS MEANS

The Talking Machine World" says
that prohibition in Detroit has been ire
mendous aid to the installment collectors.
It says:
1.-THE fact that booze and installment
collections don't mix has been proven by
his experience since Detroit went dry, &C.
cording to Wallace Brown, well-known
talking machine dealer in that city. In
other words the workmen who formerly
spent several dollars investing in the reg
ular Saturday night edge increasing his
expenditure as the price Of alcoholic re-
freshment has advanced, now wends his
weary way homeward with full pay en-
velope, and the extra money therein. is
more than sufficient to meet the pay
ments on talking machine or piano.
Business men in other sections Of the
country where prohibition has gone into
force report the development Of similar
conditions. Regardless Of personal opin-
ion on the question of prohibition, from
the viewpoint Of the man doing an install
ment business with the average wage
Garner, the bone-dry movement is good
thing. = . . What the world needs is
more lifting music and less alcohol. Turn
on the photograph and turn off the spig-
OTIS. Give the workers more and better
bars of music and fewer Of the baser.

WE SHALL SEE WHAT WE SHALL
SEE

A Washington newspaper which, like
all Washington papers, has che habit Of
echoeing administration sentiment, de-
precates the idea that any national pro-
gram of reconstruction is necessary for
the United States basing its arguments
upon two statements; First, the United
States had no preparedness program be-
fore we entered the war, and yet the war
has been won; Second, Germany had a
carefully developed program Of worli
conquest, and yet lost the war. Quod erat
demOnstrandum.
Presumably this paper would har .
argue that the war would not have end
sooner if the United States had been bet
ter prepared, or Germany less well pre-
pared. And unless it is ready to defend
this preposterous position, the argument
that program of preparedness for peace
conditions is unnecessary is ludicrous.
No individual could conduct bushes;
md AVOID bankruptcy, competition with
other intelligently conducted concerns,
without having program of procedure.
Desultory drifting gets no man, no BUSH
ness and no nation anywhere but upon
the rocks. Propositions are solemnly adj
vanced and defended in politics which, II
proposed in private matters, would cause
their proponent to be brought into court
for the appointment Of guardian or
commitment to an institution for. the
mentally disabled. And this argument"
In favor Of this country playing the Mi
cawbar game as we come face to face
with after-the-war conditions is case in
point.
As sure as the sun rise son the day
the peace treaty is signed, under the ex-
listing tariff law, which throws the mar
kets Of this country open to theexploita-
ton Of the whole world, viii 90 back to
the industrial situation prevailing before
the beginning Of the war Interrupted the
operations Of the Simmons Underwood
measure when three million men, in mid
summer Of 1914 were out Of jobs, and the
plague Of unemployment and the paraly-
sis Of business enterprise was spreading
over the land.
Yet demagogues and doctrinaires blink
this situation and try to make the people
believe there is no danger. There seems
to be no reason to believe that this al
ministration will bulge an inch from
bourbon free trade policies, and there
fore the people will be able to judge from
bitter experience as to the results of sur
rendering our marekts to industrial in
vasion by alien producers armed with
the deadly weapon of cheapness attain
ed at the sacrifice Of human values.-Na-
tional Republican.

Cove Comments


where in the U. S., called the
Ten Hen Club" Said hens to
be fed on the table scraps. /
just want to remark that the
family that can feed ten lusty
hens on table scraps must be eX-
ceedingly wasteful and not
Hooverizing as they should.
They had better help win the
war by saving the scraps for
their own consumption and leave
the egg raising business to those
whose business it is.
Mr.. A. G. Fry, president of A.
c. Fry & Co., in a letter to the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
which will, or has been, sent to
our representative in Congress,
hits the right nail on the head
when he predicts disaster to the
poultry business. He states that
feed prices are 100 per cent
above normal, while products
have advanced only 40 per cent.
This is very instructive and of
absorbing interest to all poultry
raisers. 1t just simply means
the extinction of the poultry bus
mess as a poultry business,
Meanwhile the patriotic (?) egg
ring in Seattle are doing their
bes to depress the price of eggs
to point where they can store
same and realize big profits later
on. The old fable of killing the
goose that laid the golden egg
may easily come true.
1t has often been said in my
hearing, what's the use of kick
ing?" also that nobody reads
the local paper, chat is, of
course, nobody of consequence
Well, if it had not been for the
kickers we would have all still
been living in caves, clothed in
skins, and Hooverizing mainly
on raw grub. How the dickens
are those in authority to know
what we common ~ folks are
talking and thinking of If none
of us have the sand TO stand up
and kick through the means of
publicity at our command? |
believe in kicking good and plen-
ty in the paper and at the polls
for things we should have and
against things that are not right.
"Lese Majestic, and the old fd
die PADDLE that kings can do no
wrong" don't go in this good
old U. S. A., and my advice to
our silent citizens is to wake up
and do some kicking on their
own account.

Governor Sleeper has named Fri
day, May 3rd, as "Arbor and Garden
Day." The proclamation urges con-
tinuance of the custom of observing
Arbor day by the planting of trees
around the homes, our schools, our
churches, our streets and public parks
1t also points out the urgent necessity
of planting gardens. The appeal last
year resulted in huge crop of veg
etables, and the need of garden pro-
ducts is even more urgent this year,
says the Governor. Every pound of
vegetables raised in a Michigan gar
den will release just so much wheat
for shipment abroad. Let every fam
lily then plant garden. If you can't
plant big garden, try a little one
and take care of it. The Governor
also calls attention to the fact that
the High-bush Burberry has become
a dangerous nuisance because it har-
bors and spreads the Black Stem Rust
of wheat and other grains, and re-
quests the destruction of this noxious
shrub.

We are indebted to our good friend
John Shrine for the following clip
ping from the Los Angeles Times)
There is story, though strange it
may seem
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his
wonderful dream.
Being weary of fighting he lay on
his bed
And among other things, he dreamed
he was dead.
And in a fine coffin was lying in state
With crowd of brave Belgiams be-
moaning his fate.
He was not long dead when he found
to his cost
His soul, like the soldiers, would
quickly be lost.
On leaving this earth to meet his
true fate
He Mastered to heaven and knocked
on the gate.
st. Peter looked out and exclaimed
loud and clear,
"Try down below, Bill" you can't get
in up here.
"Now," said the Kaiser. al call that
uncivil,
But welcome I'le get from my old
friend the Devil"
He turned on his heel and away he
did go
At the top of his speed for the
regions below.
But when he arrived he was filled
with dismay.
For while waiting outside he heard
old Nick say:
"See here, all you imps, I give YOU
fair warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
any morning;
But don't let him in, for to me It's
quite clear,
He's after my job, and we don't want
him here.
If he should get in there'l be numer-
Gus Ouarrels;
In fact Pm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals"
"All right, my dear fellow" the
great Kaiser cried,
Excuse me for listening, while wait
ing outside,
If you don't let me in, where then
shall | go?"
Indeed" said the Devil, "I'm dam
ned if | know"
"Oh, do let me in. for Pm feeling
quite cold,
And if you want money, I've plenty
of gold
Let me sit in a corner no matter how
hot.
''No, no." yelled the Devil, "most
certainly not,
We don't allow folks here for riches
and pelf,
Here's sulphur and matches, make a
hell for yourself"
And he fast kicked him out when he
vanished in smoke
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke
He jumped out of bed in a shivering
sweat
And said, "That's dream / shall not
forget,
That | won't go to heaven, / know
very well,
But it's really too bad to be kicked
out Of hell"
