The state of Washington has jus
secured a new automobile law which
will bring $2,000,000 to the state TO
road building and repair work. TIL,
automobiles and trucks do more thar
all other agencies to destroy road
and the owners of these should b.
forced to pay their share of keeping
the roads IN repair. There has beer
an awful howl, especially from auto
mobile dealers N Washington, but the
law was passed and it will benefit the
state. No mar will contribute enough
to hurt him under the terms of the
new law, which increases rates enor-
mously on some classes of auto-cars

1t is reported that the manarchists
of Germany, are planning a coup by
which it is hoped to reestablish a
monarchy with the former kaiser or
one of his six sons on the throne We
can wish the kaiser no worse luck
than that he would return to the
country he ruled with an iron hand
for so many years and try to regain
the throne. The only question would
be how long would he last? AS the
negro said "Dere'll be singing at his
house and he won't hear it" if he
ever undertakes to return to Germany

The republicans have renominated
W. H. Thompson for mayor of Chicago.
Thompson came near being indicted
for violation of the espionage act and
his disloyal utterances and attitude
caused national sensation He
boosted that Chicago is the sixth
German city in the world" With
and La Toilette and a Few
lesser lights it begins to look like
the republicans were getting cor
ner on the disloyalists. If they would
only adopt Reed of Missouri and Var
daman of Mississippi, the democrats
would gladly waive all claim to these
noted antagonists of England and our
other allies.
