The cypsy's REVENGE.

last week by one of the gypsies who
have been in this neighbOrhood lately.
While he was getting some gasoline at
the Halsey garage, preparatory to a
trip to Albany, he was approached by
one Of the fortune tellers, who asked
for money. On his refusal to come
across" she told him he would have
bad luck all the rest Of the day. And
sure enough, he had gone only a short
distance when the rear axle of his car
broke l-Oregonian.

Worthless Without Moral Sense.

Men must learn to discriminate, and
that implies a moral sense and an en-
lightened and disciplined will. Without
them failure in the business of life is
certain. Masterful natures without
moral sense, or, if they have ii, dis
obedient to it, are always wax ma
lures. History gives the record Of many
such. They are profitable for fnstruc-
ton in righteousness"

DEMOCRATIC SOUVENIRS

Some might be disposed to view with sour disparagement the admin istrations plan to turn 15,OOO,oO0 hand grenades into savings banks for American school children.
 We are for it.
 Being naturally disposed to regard the administration indulgently we do not wish, in the first place, to disturb 1t at its cute little games. It should always have something to amuse 1t and nothing could be more amusing to the Democrats than to recall con- stantly the mad, glad days when they spent the peoples money like intoxi- cated tars.
 Each grenade will be provided with a slot for the absorption of either pennies or dimes and will be lettered w. S. s.
 Every child under the age Of ten who earns money during the summer vacation to buy a war saving stamp and submits to his teacher when school reopens story telling how he or she earned the money will be en- titled to receive bank.
 Grand!
 We are for that, too. We believe that everything possible should be done to push the war savings stamp campaign. It is the best government investment and the banks will adver tise it. Moreover, the banks will be monument ofsenduring metal to the Democratic party's extravagance.
 We have just one amendment te offer. The hand grenades should have dollar slots by way of preserving fond memories of how. the administratloI squandered the dollars by billions The children should be invited to tell the story of the golden age of Demoe racy which never will come again.

THREE EXCLUSIONS

In framing the Constitution of the United States, the founders of our gov ernment took negative as well as posi- tive views. They declared that cer- tain things were to be and that others were not to be.
 . There were three things which they barred out, which they did not intend to permit. Old World prosecutions and tyrannies were still vividly remember ed. and they decreed that no religious test should ever be required of can didates for office under the federal government. We of today have cause to be thankful for their action.
 Puritan and Cavalier, Tory and Whig, Stuart and Hanoverian had taken deadly revenge on the losing side, and our constitution mercifully enacted that mo attainder of treason shall work. corruption of blood, or for feiture, except during the life. of the person attained We are glad now 1 that nobody lost his lands because his father sat in the Hartford convention or because he was the son of mem Der of the cabinet of Jeffson Davis. During the eighteenth century, yes, during the boyhood of George Wash ington, the heads of Jacobites had been nailed over Carlisle gate and their children had been driven from home.
 The men who rejected religious tests and political prosecutions were not ignorant of commercial history. We'll did they know that the partial ity of king, or premier or a court clique, or a sovereign's mistress, had gained undue favors for 'this -'or that port. Looking backward to past full of such conditions and to future that was to be free from them they ordered "That no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another
 Gladstone said that our Constitution was the most wonderful document ever struck off at given time by the nina of man. The advocates of Free Ports may well consider three exclusions.

generally, causes many deaths. Were the doctors doing wrong? If so, how much more culpable are firemen and policemen who go on strikes. The doc tor can contend with some degree of validity that he is not the servant of the public, but simply of those who hire him, but f1remen and policemen are paid by and pledged to serve the entire community.
 In Winnipeg, so far as we are aware, they had no grievances. They went out on sympathetic strike to aid or ganized labor in establishing the sys- tenn of collective bargaining. They thereby contended for the right to abandonsthe community to crime and destruction that one faction might gain an advantage over another. It was tantamount to the use of violence. The threat of murder, fire and rapine was held over the head of the community as club by the strikers. Either bow to our will, was their ed1ct, "or we shall let loose upon you the mur- derer and the firebrand."
 Organized labor cannot afford to stand for revolution. In the United 1t does not. In Canada organized labor If it really is, back of the strikes by firemen and policemen-is inviting the deluge.
 Among the striking policemen and firemen of Winnipeg are soldiers who held back the Hun in France and Flanders. Among those who are back ing the firemen and policemen in the sympathetic strike are soldiers who fought to save Canada from the Hun. Had these soldiers gone on a strike while in the army the kaiser probably would be ruling Winnipeg today.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-06-21
REIGN OF UNREASON

Strikes by fire and police forces have for their object the triumph of a particular faction by violence. One faction uses the police and the firemen to overcome another faction.
 In Winnipeg the policemen and fire men abandoned their work to take part in sympathetic strike. We have no doubt they acted in good faith, thinking, perhaps, that strike by members of firemen's union or a policemen's union was as justifiable as strike by any other branch of or ganized labor. But the very fact that they acted in good faith shows to what dark abysses of unreason economic warfare sometimes leads.
 The. police and firemen are not em- ployed by any faction; they are the servants of the entire community, pledged to protect the community from crime and destruction. When they go on strike they open the flood gates of crime and destruction and by that act become betrayers and despoilers of those they are bound by law and moral duty to protect.
 It is not simply that their wages are paid by the community that they owe duty to the community. If they volunteered to protect the community for a certain period their moral re- sponsibility would be fixed during that period even though they did not re- ceive cent. What would we think of a doctor who abandoned patients in railroad or mine disaster until he should be given his fees?
 The argument that policemen have right to forms unions and unions have right to strike is no argument at all. By the duty he assumes when he joins a police or fire department . man is debarred from striking. It is not question of wages or of the rights of organised labor. It is question of moral responsibility. If man does not wish to abide by that responsibil- ity he ought not to be fireman or . policeman.
 Not long ago great strike was de- clared in Hamburg by the workmen. As counterstroke the professional classes went on strike. the doctors MI . Ar to win for their faction or the public
