Washington, July 3.-Charles A

PINCHOT ON G. o. P. BOSSES.

If any further evidence were needed
as to the predictions and affiliations
of the chooses - in the Republican par
ty than is supplied by their own rec
ords, Clifford Pinchot, progressive Re-
publican and close friend Of the late
President Roosevelt, supplies it. In a
recent speech before the Republican
Presidential Club at Cambridge, Mass,
Pinchot said Of the G.. o. P. leaders,:
1.-THE reactionaries are enemies Of
the people, for they are owned and con-
troled by the special interests which
keep the cost Of living high and con
tinually drive it higher. Crane, Hard
ing, Watson and their like, and Penrose,
the flower Of the flock, are the little
brothers Of the profteers. They be-
lieve in money first and human welfare,
if at all, afterward. Without such men
as these the great monopolies could new
er have been formed.'
AT another point in his speech, Pin
chot said:
"How far these men have misread
the signs of the times is almost incred-
ible. For example, during the sessions
Of the Republican National Committee
in Chicago last March, the man most
discussed as candidate for the Presi-
dency was Jim Watson Of Indiana, a
candidate who would be little more &C
ceptable to the average Republican vot-
er than John D. Rockefeller or Penrose
himself. I was there and 1 know.'

Weeping Steve Pipes.

"efP"0 Seeve E'PSS'
Weeping stove pipes, from the Joints
Of which tarlike liquid leaks out, is
often a difficult trouble to remedy. It
is due to insufficient draft. The smoke
moving slowly through the pipes con-
denses, and the liquid so formed oozes
out at the Joints Of the pipes. Some
times having the pipes Oh an incline,
upwards towards the chimney will
increase the draft. Some find that
a little opening in the pipe next the
chimney, with a sliding cover, in
!creases the draft up the chimney,
when open, and so causes the smoke
to pass out quickly. 1t all comes to
this: Increase the draft and the heat
Of the pipes, and so cause the smoke
to pass out so quickly that it cannot
cool and condense in. the pipes.

We wonder if those folks opposed to
the primary will take heed of the out
come of the st. Paul congressional elec-
ton. Due to what apparently was an
oversight, there was no machinery to
select candidates for the purpose of fill
ing vacancies through primary and
the republican and democrat were selec-
ed through the old convention system
with uRanimity. On the surface the
parties were solid for their respective
candidates: But apparently the rank
and file who would have had chance
to voice their sentiments in a primary,
were not, and as consequence they
made the independent candidate their
choice. We do not believe that the peo-
pie generally want the power of the
primary taken from them. >. y

WILL URGE EARLY RATIFICATION
OF PEACE TREATY AND .
~. LEAGUE COVENANT.
LID May THEN BE LIFTEl
Attorney General Palmer Holds Tha,
Time Of War Ending Is Clearly
4 Indicated by Trading With
Enemy Act.

Washington, July accessibility that
pressure will be brought by the wet:
forces to induce the senate to ratify
the peace treaty quickly and accept
the league of nations, was emphasized
by an opinion expressed by A. Mitchell
Palmer, attorney general, as to the
time when the war may be regarded
as over.
The attorney general holds that the
time of the ending Of the war is clear
~ indicated by the trading with the
enemy act which defines the end Of
the war as follows:
The end OF the war shall be the
date Of the proclamation Of the e@
change of ratification of the treaties
unless the President by proclamation
shall declare prior date in which
event such prior date shall be the end
Of the war"
Ratification Necessary.
Mr.. Palmer believes that a ratifca,
ton of the treaty by the senate Is an
absolute essential TO the proclamation
OF peace and that the PRIOR proclama
ton that might be issued by the Priest
dent would necessarily follow this aakt
tioatton. Any such proclamation by
the President might anticipate the -
turn OF peace to tho extent of the time
that would be involved in the physical
exchange If the ratification Of the
treaties between Germany and the
United States.
The President has held that he can
not lift tho prohibi ban until the
war is over and rehabilitation com.
paete. 1t is accordingly accepted that
the club Of wartime prohibition and
it's continuance, SO far as presidential
action is concerned, is contingent UPON
senate action.
disqualification Opinion.
The attorney general so gave his
opinion Of what would constitute
rehabilitation. In his opinion, demo.
bilization, which must also be accom-
plished in the opinion of the Presi.
dent, before he CAT lift the wartime
prohibition ban, Will be accomplished
when the army shall have been re-
duced to the number Of men which
|. Congress, in the new army bill pend
Ing. determines shall be the peace
size of this branch of the service.
Il is confidently anticipated this WIN
be accomplished before the senate viii
have ratified the peace treaty, so the
burden Of continuing WARTIME prohibi-
ton will have been shifted to that
body.
The attorney general has not
changed his pnsitton relative TO prose-
ca,tions for violations of the law so
far as the sale OF beer containing an
alcoholic content 0 2,z5 per cent is
c0ncerned. He via bring prosecutions
IN every judicial Jurisdiction In the
United States and will be governed BY
the general trend Of these decisions.
