4 STRIKING ARGUMENT FOR
PROHIBITION

The following was sent out from
Butte, Mont, last Tuesday 1t
is one of the most unimpeachable ar
guments ever made when we recall
the fact that Butte had a long and I'M
enviable record. 1t will be hard for
the anti-prohibitionists to convince
the average citizen that liquor should
again be put on a business basis.
"Fewer crimes have been committed
in Butte during the first five months
under prohibition than in any similar
period in the city's history, according
to County Attorney Joseph r. Jackson
who declared that crimes of violent
nature such as murder, assault and
robbery, have been decreased from
80 to 90 per cnt and attributed the
improvement to prohibition.

soFTwooD CENTER OF WORLD

For two years house and barn con-
struction has been delayed due to war
conditions, but now it is picking up
and gathering momentum every day.
Stagnation which threatened the lum-
Der industry on cessation of war or
ders is disappearing and western
states are breathing a sigh of relief
on seeing the lumber industry again
gaining its stride. Coupled with the
domestic consumption there is now
every assurance that there will be a
heavy foreign demand in a short
time. Douglas fir is coming into its
own and is destined to make the
northwest the softwood lumber center
of the world.
This is one good reason why we are
all interested in a policy, both state
and national, which will encourage
the expansion and growth of this in
dustry. Just at present one of the
most important things is a settled
shipping policy.

HOW WOULD YOU SETTLE THE
LABOR TROUBLES

The one great and most difficult of
all problems confronting the present
congress is the labor question. The
president urges cooperation, the
newspapers urge cooperation, indeed
everybody that wants to see the labor
question settled satisfactorily, urges
cooperation. All of which means, in
plain English, everybody be fair and
honest, something which it is very
difficult for fallible human beings to
be under all circumstances. If some
one asked us how we would settle the
labor question we would have to
frankly confess we have no remedy.
We believe, however, that unless the
breach between the employer and en-
ployee is not healed in some way this
country is headed for the rocks. The
benefits and burdens of life are not
equally distributed. That is too ev-
ident to be denied. Much the larger
number of people in the United States
carry the burdens of life and enjoy
few of the benefits. The one thing
the war has settled beyond question
is that labor will in the future insist
on a more equal distribution of the
benefits. If the congress which met
last week can devise means to this
end it will have earned, and deserved,
the gratitude of nation.
Neither socialism nor bolshevism
will meet the demand of the times.
Socialism-ideal socialism-is utterly
impractical. 1t might work, in
heaven. Probably would. Bolshe-
vism is not to be thought of. 1t is
the opposite of ideal socialism. 1t is
hell here and hereafter

THE CITY'S CASE AGAINST THE
BUILDERS OF WATER SYSTEM

Without here going into the merits
of the case of the city against the
builders of its water system, which
we may reasonably presume was de
cided on its merits last Tuesday in
Wenatchee, after occupying the time
of the court for ten days, we submit
that there are two outstanding facts
in the case that the people of Leav-
enworth have never lost sight of. A
bond issue of $4,000 was authorized
by the taxpayers to pay for water
system. Competent and highly rec
commended engineers drew plan for
a system that would furnish the
city with an abundant supply of water
the cost of which would come within
the bond issue There were several
bidders. four or five, as we recall
and the contract was awarded to the
lowest bidder at S39,500. The city
paid the contractors $56,S00 or almost
half again as much as the contract
price. Ine difference DeliR dCSOuHOcu
for in changes and additions to the
original plans, tho the original claim
presented against the city was very
close to $4,000, which was scaled
down to s56,SO0 and odd dollars by
the council This fact together with
the further fact that the sysem has
utterly failed to supply the city with
a continuous supply of wateer, not
withstanding the city has spent about
$4,000 since the system was installed
in an endeavor to correct such defects
as caused interruption in the supply.
These two indisputable facts are out
standing and can not be gotten away
from. The defendants were repre-
sented by able counsel, who, we have
a right to presume, presented the
strongest defense their clients were
able to make. In the light of these
facts the verdict for the city will
be presumed to be just.

THE FILIPINOS WANT INDEPEN
DENCE AND THEN SOME

The Filipino representatives now in
this country clammoring for indepen-
dence are more to be admired for
what may be called German cheek
than judgment They want the United
States to grant the islands complete
independence and at the same time
guarantee that no nation shall modest
them. This country spent some hun
dreds of million dollars, and ten
thousand or more lives, in pacifying
and civilizing the islands, and if their
demands are granted they should be
unconditional. Once they are freed
they are no more to the United States
than any other nation. If American
direction of their affairs continued
for hundred years they might be ca
pable of conducting and orderly gov

One cannot help but admire the
nerve of that man Hawker, who with
one companion tried to fly across the
Atlantic in one of those frail two
men machines. Like the colored sol
der who, when told by his commander
that his company must go over the
top, and asked if he knew what that
meant, replied, "Spec | do, boss. 1t
means dat | will see Jesus" Haw-
ker knew that he was looking death
in the face, and yet, for the bubble,
fame, perhaps notoriety, set out on
his perilous journey. Fortunately he
was picked up in mid-ocean by a
chance trading vessel after being
given up for dead for several days,
Encouraged by the fortune of Haw-
ker, and spurred on by the publicity
given his venture, a woman aviator
announces she will make the effort to
cross the Atlantic without even SO
much as a. companion.

AVOID THEM AS YOU WOULD A
DEADLY PEST

We are advised by the Minute men
of the state that widespread and
systematic effort is being made all
over the state to induce owners of
different kinds of war bonds to eX-
change them for stocks of one kind or
another, in which oil stock takes the
lead. We can only advise readers
of this paper that it would be vastly
better to throw their war bonds in
the fire than to exchange them for
oil stock or almost any other kind of
stock. They will then not have the
worthless stuff to remind them of a
bad investment. There may be stock
that is as good as government bonds,
no doubt is, but that kind never goes
begging. Sharp men with money
to invest get that kind before it comes
to men of ordinary means. Do not
be so weak as to allow some smooth
stock peddler to talk you into parting
with that which is as good as gold,
tho the interest be small for utterly
V. orhless stock. The writer would not
exchange one war savings stamp for a
cart load of oil stock, so little faith
has he in its worth.
