and q government in which no person
who owns any property or hires Ia
Dor has anything whatever to say.
This is based on the MARKHAM theory
that there is never ending and in
evitable war between labor and cap
ital, that all wealth of today is Sc
cured by the Surplus capital provided
when one man hires another.
In Russia they are actually trying
out this theory and trying it with a
vengence II it leaves hunger, desti-
tuition, murder in it's wake, it is ac-
cording to the MARKHAM socialists, not
the fault of the theory, but because
the baleful influence of capitalism still
fingers over the scene. In other words
it is not yet successful and does not
bring Utopia at once, because men o.
intelligence, education, and some lit
tie property object to being robbed,
beaten and murdered by socialism
made in Germany"
Not only does American labor face
this disturbing theory, which is creep
ing into the land at such places as
Seattle but the whole world civiliza-
ton is face to face with this monster
of anarchy, which follows as the
brood of autocracy.

TENTATIVE FACTS ABOUT ONR
NEXT GREAT LIBERTY LOAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. ls.-Re gard
less Of what terms congress dictates
for the Liberty Loan, an intensive
campaign will be arranged as usual,
not later than April 21, Secretary
Glass declared tonight.
Short-term notes maturing in from
one to five years will be offered at the
forthcoming Liberty Loan campaign
instead Of long-term notes. n tenta-
tive agreement has been reached by
the house ways and means committee
TO fx the terms Of the loan by legis-
lation, rather than to give Secretary
Glass wide discretionary powers to
determine them, as he had asked.
The principal features Of the four
kinds Of notes proposed are: The first
class to draw a comparatively high
possibly Z per cent, and to be exempt
from all federal taxation; the second
class to draw a comparatively high
rate of interest, possibly per cent
and be subject to federal taxes; the
third 10 hear . moderate rate Of in

then the news is more or less stale.

FRED LOPEZ WAS AT FRONT
FOR FORTf-ONE DAYS

Fred Lopez, who with Lloyd Beez-
ley, is in charge of the first gun OF
Battery d. 34lst Field Artillery, in
France, wrote very entertaining let
ter to the Paonian publisher on the
l4th of December, dating it from
Oberkall. Germany. Fred and Lloyd
are both Gunnison county boys from
Somerset. Fred has this to say:
at has been quite a while since l
have had any news from home. re-
ceived the Paonian sometime in Oct.
and had one grand time reading the
home news, while Fritz was trying to
adjust on US, and | didn't pay any at

ing for was too interested in reading
what puts new life into a worn-out
soldier-news from home.
Il was at the front for fifty-one
days without being relieved and was
working day and night, giving the
Huns what they were looking for.
When the end came, we certainly
made it hell-fire for the Germans,
for when all the American guns open
ed, the earth was all tremble. Our
gun was hot enough to bake bread
inside the bore. We started to give
the final celebration exactly at 1859
Il m. and we had shells fused up to
begin, but we were held back fifteen
seconds of our time so that left US
only forty-fve seconds. When the
command to fire came, started to
load the gun and kept it loaded all
the time. At the command to cease
firing we had twenty-one shells in
German soil. This made the first
section of Battery d the fastest in
the 34Ist regiment.

MAJORITY AMENDS

Newspaper correspondents wi h
whom the President has talked report
that Mr.. Wilson is of emphatic opinion
that it takes a two-thirds vote of the
Senate to make reservations in the
peace treaty. He contends that ma
jority vote is not sufficient. which, if
true, would have the effect of making
amendment of the treaty very uncer-
tain, as the Democrats appear to have
a third of the Senate lined up for it as
it stands But the President is radi-
cally wrong in his view The rules of
the Senate are very explicit on the
point. and while conforming to the
Constitution in requiring a tWo-thirds
vote in the final passage of the resolu-
ton of ratification, demand only a ma
jOrity on amendments to that resolu-
ton.
Here is the rule:
"On the final question to advise and
consent to the ratification in the form
agreed to, the concurrence of two
thirds of the Senators present shall be
necessary to determine it in the affirma-
tive but all other motions and ques-
tons upon treaty shall be decided by
majority vote, except a motion to
postpone indefinitely, which shall be
decided by a vote of two-thirds.

TRANSPARENT STRATEGY

Washington, August 12-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr, to-day gave out the following state
ment from it's Washington headquar-
tiers:
Panic stricken at the national I'M
rest looming greatereday by day, Presi-
dent Wilson has thrown up his hands
and appealed to a Republican Congress
to save the situation. The full effects
of his maladminiStratiOn are now being
interpreted to every citizen in terms of
dollars and cents. We call it the High
Cost of Living. A more exact charac-
terizatiOn would be the High Cost of
Wilsonian Democracy
Many things have contributed to the
economic state of which the country
finds itself. Chief among them are the
extremes of extravaganza and wantOn
waste that have marked the commissions
of the Wilson appOintees in conducting
us through the greatest war in his
tory. Inefficieney has been predomi-
nant among the individuals appointed.
and political eXigencies the prime CON
sideratiOn in their selection. BY its
'cOst-plus' scheme of making contracts,
the administration forced prices to alb
normal heights BY favOritism to city
wage-earners, it drew labor away from
food production. BY initiation of the
currency, the buying power Of the dol
lar was reduced The food situations
in Europe have taken precedence in the
Presidents mind over the needs of our
own people with the result that mil
lions of tons of fo0dstuffs have been
taken from the mouths of Americans
and given to inhabitants of the Old
World, much of it to the people of the
very nations responsible for the war
The railroads of the country have been
continued under Federal control in
spite of the fact that the deficit is
monthly mounting into the hundreds
of millions of dollars. AS a cOnSe-
quence. freight rates have been raised
and will be raised again, to be added i'll

other products All efforts of the Re

CAMPING IN OLD MOROCCO

The Moroccan encampment, whether
1t is military or that of some travelling
band, is always picturesque, Elsie f.

tents of persons of distinction are Oft
en- surmounted with copper balls and
decorated with arabesques of cloth
Camping Is fine art In Morocco,
where the roads are almost impass-
able, and the chief means of trans
portation is by caravan.
All day one rides across the great
plains, prodigally covered with iris,
daffodils, daisies, buttercups and wild
lavender. Perhaps a wild band of
horsemen will gallop by, their robes,
sea green, salmon colored and blue,
streaming In the wind, their horses
richly caparisoned like those of some
crusading king. Occasionally one skirts
q little village built of mud and waffle
and surrounded by fields of wheat and
barley. Here and there the white
domed shrine of some saint rises Sc
renely above the plain. And at sun
down the shepherds playing on their
reed flutes drive their f1ocks of sheep
and goats home from pasture.
Then 1t is time to pitch the tents
near grove of orange trees or on
a fairy carpet of red anemones. One

structiOn were rejected by the Presl-
dent. and as a result rehabilitation Of
our armies and war industries has pro-
ceeded under no pre-conceived plan to
return to a peace basis with least econ
omic disturbance. Intermittent unem-
ployment and shutting down of factor
les has followed, all of which has con-
tributed to the high cost of living.
Those and other causes are respon
sible for the present state of affairs
Mr. Wilson has been the Nations auto
crat, selecting his own heads of depart
ments and other minor officials. Dur
ing the war Congress never grudged
him a single power that he asked, and
practically every Federal activity was
governed by his discretion alone. His
aversion to advice has been notorious.
and he has sought and been granted
powers never before possessed but by
the most absolute monarchS. His
seven months absence in a foreign
capital indicates how lightly he regard
ed the responsibility for American vel
fare that rested upon his shoulders.
During that time the executive branch
was left solely in charge of political in |
competents whom he had clothed with |
authority.
Like a tidal wave the conditions
that Mr.. Wilson inaugurated and fos-
tered have rolled up and now threaten
to engulf the United States in econ
Omic chaos. Like the Kaiser, who de- |
serted his armies and fled the country I

settled down to retrieve, if possible the
disaster that would otherwise surely |
descend upon the country when Mr..
Wilson's false economic structure top-l
