AIMED AT GAMBLING
MEASURES BEING FORMULATED
FOR INTRODUCTION In
LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, Jan. 28.-There are a few
bills being worked out here by the
legislators, one of which seeks to
make more stringent anything which
has the appearance of gambling and
which applies a penalty for any bet
ting on any game of chance of any
character, but private residences oc-
cupied by families for residence pur-
poses are not included in the ban.
All games of chance of any character
are prohibited, but the law is not
specific as to whether or not an cleo
ton bet is a game of chance or a test
of judgment.
Representative r. K. Driscoll, OF
Lawrence, is one of the members who
aid lot go home for the recess; in
fact. his family came to see him in
stead, because influenza had afflict-
ed him before he could get away.
Merchants over the state are be-
ginning to investigate some Of the
exemption and garnishment bills
Which, nave Dccu uuttu anu Sdy
they find that while some OF them.
or their face ARE very innocent In
their workings, when they are cou-
pied up with another bill which is
just as innocent in its workings,
standing alone, the two make a COM
bination which would be anything
but pleasing to the merchant who has
an account which he would like to re-
alize upon. The probabilities are
that several organizations which have
been sitting tight at home so far In
the session will have representatives
on the ground after the recess to see
that the legislation proposed Is not
inimical to the individual interests OF
such organizations and incidentally
to this the lobby registration list Is
likely to show a healthy growth very
shortly after the reconvening of the
session, which has been obliged tc
get along up to the present without
the advice of a lobby.

RECORD OF THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had
i'm Madison.

Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of flu
ture results. Anyone with a bad
back; any reader suffering from ur-
mary troubles, from kidney ills,
should find comforting words in the
following statement:
James Fitzpatrick, retired farmer,
1907 Josephine avenue, Madison.
says: II received great results when
I used Doan's Kidney Pills. For
some time / had been annoyed with
my kidneys acting irregularly. My
back began to pain severely and /
knew that something must be done.
I began looking for a good kidney
remedy and someone told me about
Doan's Kidney Pills. One box of
Doan's rid me of the trouble"
Statement given February 10,
1879.
On October g.. 1917, Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick said: "Doan's Kidney Pills are
one of u household remedies and
they have been of great benefit to me
and to others in my family. l would
not be without Doan's, for they keep
me free from the aches and pains a
person Of my age is apt to have"
Price, Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Fitzpatrick had. Foster-Milburn

NOT ALL ROMANCE
RALPH BAIRD, OF HURON, TELLS
OF SOME OF HARDsHIPs ON
TRANSPORTS.

Sioux City, Jan. 28.-American
soldiers going to France In British
ships were not only inadequately
supplied with food of an inferior
quality. but a large percentage of
them suffered inconsistencies and de-
preston of spirit on the outward
bound journey across the Atlantic,
according to Ralph Baird. of Huron,
s. d., a member Of the 115th trench
mortar battery. who passed through
Sioux City yesterday en- route to his
home, after having received honor
able discharge from service at Camp
Funston, Kan.
Baird had six months of service In
France. His battery and the 40th
division, OF which ii was one of the
units, were assigned to duty in the
Metz sector.
II have heard scores Of soldiers
complain of the food that was sup
piled to them on the British trans
ports" said Baird at the Northwest
ern station Red Cross canteen. IF
the boys had money they were en-
abled to purchase edibles to their lik-
ing. but the charges were excessive.
One doughboy told me that he had
paid so cents for a quarter cut of a
pie on the British ship that took him
to France. The service on the Amer
lean transports and those operated
by the war department was far SUI
perior to that on British ships and
generally speaking. no complaints Of
a serious nature were uttered, so far
as ! could learn.
Inconsistencies seized hundreds of
the soldiers, especially those from
the inland districts. as they were
about to depart or had started on the
voyage overseas" continued Baird.
I'VE heard little about this in the
newspapers. Many of them were so
much depressed that they refused to
eat. And it was not seasickness that
affected their appetites. They moped
about the ship and seemed devoid of
spirit. This depression, however.
was transient and passed away"
The Great Northern, the vessel on
which Baird made the passage to
France. was rammed by an English
freighter in the submarine zone and
six lives were lost, according to
Baird's story of the voyage. "A PAN
ic prevailed among the soldiers. most
OF whom had never before been on
the high seas" he said. Men on
the port side of the ship in ascend
ing to the decks were compelled to
pass by or over the bodies of the
soldiers killed in the collision with
the freighter. Most all of the men
seemed to be seized with fear. How
ever, the panic soon subsidized much
quicker than / believed it to be pos
sibie, and discipline as to station and
conduct was enforced"
Baird criticised the service given
by the Y. M. C. A. in France, his
statements being somewhat similar ia
those Of some other overseas men
passing through Sioux City on their
way homeward. I'VE were compel
led to pay for everything that we re-
ceived from the Y. M. G. A. canteens
with the exception Of writing paper
land envelopes occasionally" continu'

who, in the opinion of The Clean, are a menace to the community. The name of one is Sawyer. We do not know his first name, but have heard him talk and have talked to him. He says that there was never any reform in this country until I4 years ago when an organ ization (we presume that he meant the I. w. W. started in to get the masses together.
 This man came up from ketchi- kan, he says, with orders to take over' the Alaska Labor Union No. 4 ana Mrrc 7oere rn0neh JflIy Jfsh IT that b0dp 10 Iet hlm doH. The first time we ever heard of him Bob Kennedy was circulating a paper to raise money for his bond as he was arrested during the summer at Wrangell on a charge and is under bond now pending trial.
 This curly headed god of the new freedom has for his side kicker our esteemed townsman, Meyer, of the Tide flats, whose reputation for being in jail precludes him from being a regular wage earner. Yet he stands up and assumes authority as if he knew how; and such bril- liant lights as Jack Benson, another kinky haired gink of freedom, hob nobs and acts with those two gen. tlemen who are either on their way out of or going to jail.
 Under the leadership of these three guys The Clean, a paper owned by middle-aged woman, and her only means of support, was placed on the unfair list"
 This action followed the expul- sion from the Union of the Editor of The Clean, who is called by that bunch of intellects, a capital ist." When the curly headed god first came to Juneau he said that it was all right for the editor to stay in the organization as long as she did not hire help, but when this wild-minded youth did not succeed in educating the editor to certain Ewild emanations of diseased brain which the Marcel waved god of freedom calls take over' then it was all off. The Editor must be put out of business.
 Now The Clean has no grudge against Jack Benson if he takes our advice and goes home to the care of his wife and baby, but the next time that curly-headed noodle interferes with The Clean he'll have all that's coming to him. This fellow is only spared because of his wife and child and it will prove to his benefit if he goes way back and sits down.
 But it's Myers and Sawyer with whom we are dealing. Why do not these two able.bodled men go to work7 Sawyer is great big husky animal who should be earn ing an honest living in a logging camp rather than working on a few weak-pated fellows who think they think.
 Where was Sawyer during the war? It cannot be possible that he loved freedom so that he became a stacker and wished the majority of the world to perish from the earth.
 Come along now, Sawyer, and tell where you were during the war. Perhaps you are a Canadian. If you are what in the Sam Hill are you doing in the United States

raising trouble with Canada's friends?
 We have too many uncertified citizens around here who take a good many liberties with the rights of American. citizens and until the papers of each one of them are se- cured, they should at least behave themselves.
 Now about Myers; a man who speaks with a foreign tongue and has languished in an American jail should certainly keep back in tn tall grass, and The Clean serves notice on them now that any at- tempt to obstruct the progress of the middle-aged woman editor who conducts the little paper will be con- sidered an act of hostility and will be treated through the measures provided by law for such purposes. Any paper in Alaska publishing the notice that Sawyer is purported to have submitted for publication will be prosecuted under the provi- sion governing libel.
 The Editor has never been un- fair to labor; the better part of her life has been spent in assisting la Dor to better and more digniied position than it occupied in the days of T. V. Powderly. For years she has written in defense of the present legitimate organization; re- fused to trade for the last 30 years Tn any store unless the house car ried label. She has been through street car strikes, and railroad strikes and knew Coxey's army and has busied herself for years with the great aggregation known as organized labor, but after the years of ripe experience and much study along economic lines she re- fused to fall for the mad rawlings of man under arrest, man ac- cused of making mischief; then publication is to be made that she is unfair to Labor." The paper publishing this will have to prove it, and we need a plant and no doubt, alter thoroughly tried out" case we could by law literally take over'' plant.
 What can community think of bunch of great big husky men spending an evening discussing the question of whether a middle aged woman shall earn her living in her own way? That's nice ad- vertisement for your reform, isn't it? If that's sample of how things are going to be after you get through with them we see readily how far you are going to travel.
 We have no doubt though that any man would rather sit around and draw a salary from those who DO work than to take an honest job himself would do most anything to women whether they were old or young. The mother of the race evidently means nothing to him or to those who abetted him in the ac- tion taken at the meeting last Mon- day night.
