SEATTLE MAYOR BLAMES
 AUTHORITIES FOR RIOTS

In letter written yesterday by Mayor c. L. Fitzgerald of Seattle to the Editor of the New York World, in reply to an inquiry as to the feel ing of the people of the Northwest regarding the action of the Govern ment in taking aliens who are mem- bers of the I. w. w. to the Eastern coast and then releasing them, on bail or otherwise, and allowing them to go back west again and continue their ac- tivities, MT. Fitzgerald intimated that such action by the Federal Govern ment is responsible for recent distur- bances in the Northwest which finally eliminated in the Armstice-Day shoot ing of World War Veterans at Gen. tralia. Continuing MT. Fitzgerald said:
 'I believe that so long as these diff ferent kinds of Anachists are allowed to travel from town to town in our country inflaming the minds of our people with their false doctrines, and heroes and martyrs are made of men who have been regularly convicted by due process of law in the duly consti- tuted courts of our land, just that long will these outrages continue.
 "As Mayor of Seattle, desire to say that we intend to keep our city free from this lawless element and I have suggested to them that in ar ranging itineraries in the future they leave out Seattle. We are still con- fident that the Federal Government will soon find proper means to care for these Anarchists all over the coun- try"

SALE OF THRIFT STAMPS & TREASURY CERTIFICATES TO
 BE CONTINUED THRU 1920

San Francisco, Dec. 5-Definite an nouncement that the Government will continue the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during 1920 was received here today from the Treasury Depart ment by c. A. Farnsworth, Associate Director of the War Loan Organiza- tion of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District.
 q know that this will be pleasing, not only to hundreds of able Ameri- cans, who, recognizing the value of the Governments thrift work, have given of their time and ability in fur thering it," said Farnsworth, "but it will be equally as we'll received by those who have taken advantage of the exceptional opportunity of saving offered by the Government through the Thrift and War Savings Stamp and Treasury Savings Certificate. To the educators of the west, too, who have adopted the Governments thrift program in the schools as a valuable factor in habit forming education, l am sure that this guarantee of the permanency of the War Savings move ment will be gratifying"
 In making the announcement, Will liam Mather Lewis, Director of the Savings Division of the Treasury De- partment, said, "The savings move ment is to be continued throughout 1920. The 1920 issue of Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates will be on sale January 1. Monthly sales for 1919 have been showing a steady and wholesome increase, while the prog ress of the thrift movement in the schools and industrial organizations and generally has been gratifying. We are off to flying start for 1920 which promises to be a banner year for the savings movement"

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
 IS READ TO CONGRESS

A diversified program to restore a peace time business status, revise the tax system, curb unrest, reduce the cost of living and rectify labor and farming conditions was recommended by President Wilson in his message to the new session of congress.
 The president asked for new tariff laws based on the nations changed relation to the rest of the world, sug gested that the income and excess profits tax schedules be simplified, advocated steps to improve rural con ditions and promote production, and \ declare for genuine democratiza >t tion of industry" to protect both labor and capital.
 The railroad problem he reserved for future message and he made no statement of his intentions regarding the peace treaty of Mexico.
 Many of his resolutions were the Same as those submitted to the special session last spring and several of them are embraced in legislation al ready being formulated in the two houses.
 To meet the cost of living, the presi- ucHG dShCu cAIcIlSlOU VI IilC wal IllllS food control bill, federal regulation of cold storage, readjustment of food transportation and establishment of system of federal licensing for all cor porations engaged in interstate com merce
 He declares the causes of unrest to be superficial and temporary and made his only reference to the senate's fail urd to ratify the peacetreaty in say ing that reStlessneSs was due largely to the nations hesitation in determin- ing it's peace policy. The federal gov ernment, he declared, should be armed with full authority to deal in the crim- inal courts with those who promote violence.
 In an extended discussion of labor conditions, he declared the workers had just cause for complaint in many matters, and that there should be a "full recognition of the right of those who work, in whatever rank, to par ticipate in some organic way in every decision that directly affects their welfare"
 He asserted that the right of indi- viduals to strike must be held invio- late, but added that there must be a firm stand against "the attempts of any class to usurp that only govern ment itself has a right to exercise as a protection to all.
 Finally he suggested the establish ment of a tribunal for peaceful decis- ion of industrial disputes.
 He renewed his recommendation for budget system of national finances, asked for special protection to pro mote the dye-stuffs and chemical in dustries and declared the administra- tion bill providing farms for soldiers should be passed without delay.
 The message, about 5000 words in length, was transmitted to the capitol by messenger, the president expressing regret that his health, would not per init his delivery of it in person. It was read separately in senate land house where it drew mixed expres- sions of appreciation and !disappoint- ment. The democrats generally prais- ed it as setting forth decisively prac- tical program of reform, while on the republican side there were many com plaints that it lacked definiteness and omitted mention of important prob lems.

FARMERS Of STATE.
give 10 SERBIANS
Unique Appeal to Their
Generosity is Bringing
Results.

Farm bureaus in every county in
West Virginia are enthusiastically at
work canyassing for seed corn to be
shipped to Serbia as pledged to Prof.
stoykovitch at ParAersburg. A. J..
Dadisman Of Morgantown will attend
to the shipping OF all the. corn which
comes in and not later than March
should this seed arrive ready for Mr..
Dadisman to send to that land so far
away and yet so much like West Vir.
GINA that a feeling resembling that
of a sister for her twin prevails in this
State.
The serbians are a nation of far
mers with democratic spirits possess.
ing n dreamy, poetic temperament
highly emotional and sensitive. Self
sacrificing patriotism Is their domin-
ant quality. For centuries they have
been subjected to an alien race and
had almost given up hopes of liberia
ton.
Just now this race Of people face al
most ruin with a devastated land and
all their farms in state bordering on
great unproductiveness. At a confer
ence recently 1t was decided that West
Virginia must help to the utmost this
twin land and farmers all over Marion
county are asked to donate as much
shelled corn as they can to this worthy
cause. Bring the corn to the office Of
Farm Agent w. q. McComas before
March 9th and do something really
valuable for this little land-about
half the size of West Virginia-which
will live through the generations to
come.
Farm Agent Mccomas is today busy
sending out letters to all members Of
the Farm bureau in this county, en-
closing some interesting reading mat
ter which will tell to small extent
something Of what is wanted for those
far away people. Many farmers have
been interested for long time and
realize that with only bare land and
with much Of the population gone, a
serious problem Is to be faced in Ser
bia. The condition Of this country is
hopeless desolation with most Of the
Sl0Sh SOuo anu OFCuarQS FulneQ ana
land in bad condition. A last epidemic
of fever brought still more inhabitants
to a spirit Of. very trribIe discourage
ment. They must be helped and how
better could this be done than for a
land almost like theirs to send as a
gift some Of the seed corn for which
West Virginia is famed?
Agriculture in Serbia has been done
with little machinery aid because most
Of the farms are small. Organization
of farmers was just begun when the
war stopped all progress. Will not all
Marion county farmers show their in
terest and sympathy for these people
by responding Immediately to this ap-
peal for help in the shape of seed
corn? A little from eevry farmer in
this county will swell the bags which
must be filled as son as possible.
Bring your corn to the Office of the
farm agent. w. E. Mccomas in the
court house. Don't overlook the mat
ter until it is too late and you have
lost your chance to be of real service.
