Liquor bandits are beginning to op-
crate extensively in the country, one
of the biggest hauls made being at
the home of a farmer named West,
who lives nine miles south of Window.
From the cellar of this home seven
bandits, who travelled in automobiles,
carried off $50 cases Of whiskey val
ued at $4,000. Of course national pro-
hibition is responsible for the APP
pearance of this new kind Of burglar,
who seeks not money or valuables but
merely liquor Persons who have
stocks of the serpentaria in their eel
lars had better remove it to a~safer
place ere the liquor bandit visits their
premises.

Switzerland has asked the United
States to lend it s40,OO0,O00. Con-
sidering the fact that Switzerland
surreptitiously assisted the Huns-in
violation of the neutrality laws dur
ing the war, its application for loan
should receive no response. Now we
have chance to get back at her for
smuggling supplies into Germany dur
ing the war, thus aiding the kaiser
to continue hostilities against the al
lies, we should embrace the opportuni-
ty to so do. Switzerland, among other
little countries, was neutral in name
only-she was a sneaking traitor to
the allied nations.

Great Britain's admiralty will sal
wage the German fleet which was scut-
tied at Scapa Flow. Had the allies
not made fools of themselves at the
outset by permitting Hun crews to re-
main on board these vessels all this
work and expense would have been un-
necessary. At the same time Germany
should be compelled to pay for the
loss involved.

It appears that the race riots in
Washington, D. c., on Sunday night,
in which numerous negroes were
beaten up, was the outcome of assaults
by niggers upon white women. Wash
ington is virtually overrun with
bestial blacks and white men cannot
be blamed for taking revenge upon the
assailers of their wives and daugh-
tiers. It's high time that the national
capital were swept clean of undesira-
BILE niggers.

Country papers Of the northwest are
paying their respects in no uncertain
terms to the itinerant carnivals and
the papers are right in so doing. A
street carnival is not only nuisance
to town but it takes away with it
hundreds of dollars which would 9TH
erwise be spent at home. Then again
it's shows are coarse and demoralizing
and, as one paper says, it is "an ag-
.gregation Of buns, I followed by a
bunch of raw grafters Of the penny
ante variety and after them come
rpickpockets and a raft Of hoodlums."

Tuesday, July Is, was St. Swithin's
day and it rained in New York. Ac-
cording to an old superstitious belief.
if it should rain upon this day it will
continue for forty days thereafter.
Hence the Umbrella Makers union of
Gotham decided that this was propi-
tiousj moment to strike and 5000 of
them went out, demanding a 45-hour
week and wage increase. The next
day the rain stopped and it has not
rained since, so the manufacturers told
the workers they could stay out as
long as they pleased. What fools
these mortals be.

National Republican: Sir Erick
Qrummond has chosen Dutch college
professor as leader Of the legal de-
partment of the league of nations. The
league of nations seems to be a self
starter. Just by what authority it, is
proceeding to organize itself is not
clear. Certainly the United States
has no representation in the proceed
ings. However it was never intended,
apparently, that it should ever have
much to say. Sir Robert may be send
ing us word where to head in before
the senate even gets a peek at the
treaty.

The president has been calling SEN
ators, singly and in pairs, to his sane
tum sanctorum in the white house to
talk over the peace treaty and the
league of nations covenant and
ascertain their views. What salts
faction he derived from these inter-
views is not stated, but it is said that
many of the senator's stood pat
against the league. However, the
final result will not, of course, be
known until the fight in the senate is
over.

Dr.: Sweeney, a st. Paul alienist,
basing his assertion on the result of
an examination of 100000 soldiers,
says that the people of the United
States, on an average, are developed
mentally and physically to the extent
only Of a 12-year-old child. If this is
true it it high time that the people of
the nation begin developing.

Salvation Army Rescue Homes.

The largest chain Of rescue and ma
ternity homes in the world has been
established by the Salvation army to
provide fitting accommodations for the
sixty thousand girls in the United
States who, each year, are turned out
into the world because Of mistakes.
Twenty-six such institutions have been
erected in various parts of the coun-
try as harbors Of refuge for unfortu-
nate girls who feel that there is no
place in the world for them. Here,
real Christian love takes them in,
cares for them and protects them,
gives their babies scientific care which
establishes them physically, gives the
girls themselves the finest of medical
care before their babies are born and
moral uplift that follows them the
rest of their life.
The Salvationists have studied con-
ditions enough to realize just what the
girl needs and wants. Their buildings
are kept spotlessly clean, and the live,
of the girls while they are passing
through the homes are kept untouched
by any influence of criticism of the
world. What is best, strongest, ana
most worthwhile in life is taught the
girls by constant contact with the Sal
walton army officers, young women de-
voted and consecrated to the creed of
love and helpfulness, which is the dom
inant note Of Salvation army work. A
definite schedule is worked out for the
girl and she spends her time cooking,
sewing and doing homework in
scientific manner. This prepares her
to support herself after she leaves the
home. She is never permitted to feel
that her life is ruined, that she has
reason to become embittered, but she
is told that she has still place to fill.
her redemption to work out, and her
life work to do in the training and
care of her child, with an even greater
responsibility to it than though it were
born under normal conditions.
The Salvation army campaign to
assist it in carrying on the above
named and other works of humanitar-
ianism will open on August 10 and
close on August 10. You can feel as
sured that any sum Won NAV con-
tribute to this noble organization will
be expended for making life brighter
and more endurable for the unfortu-
nates-whatever may be the cause Of
their misfortunes in this vast coun-
try.
The Salvation army's motto is, "a
man or woman may be down, but they
are never out. ?

We have asked that question before
but in vain, but it is particularly per-
tinent now when labor. Of any kind is
in such demand. It can almost be said
that labor was plentiful during war
years. What makes the outlook bad
is the fact that the soldiers of our
great army, with the exception Of a
paltry few thousands, have all returned
home. The country has absorbed them
like a sponge and with immigration
practically at a standstill, where are
the men coming from who will turn

delusion that newspapers will give

stream of these requests flow from

is now no more reason why news

more than a colonel in the army should
serve without pay or that Ed. Lynch

paper is for sale to reputable concerns,

price. We have none to give away.
