Tie Dober mine case that the Re-
porter cites hasn't been explained yet
so we don't know just what case is
referred to. The only case that we
can learn of is one in which both
parents died and left several child
rem. The superintendent OF the
commission was notified Monday at
the same time that he was notified OF
the Pentoga case lie went at once
to Pentoga and continued on to
Stambaugh where he took charge of
the four children on the following day
and found homes for alh of them, SO
that they are being well cared for
that is his report to the commission.
We have entered into this discus
sion not to shield the poor commits
sion IL they are backward in their
duties. There isn't anything sacred
about the commissioners that should
shield them from criticism, but the
criticism ought to be fair and not
originate in the Interior motive OF
some person who has an axe to grind.
These are strenuous times and the
poor people are certainly deserving of
sympathy. They should be fed and
clothed so that their suffering may
not be increased. At the same time
it must remembered that the COM
missioners are placed in Office to look
after the interests OF those who have
to pay the bills as well as those who
need aid. AS a parting word we
might say to our friend of the Repor-
ter that the next time lie takes up
the cudgel he ought to be sure that
he's swinging it in the right direc-
tion.

THE BRITISH EMBARGO.

The action OF the British govern
ment in placing a partial embargo
upon manufactured goods from this
and other countries for export to
Great Britain has been seized upon
by many anti-British propagandists
to prejudice the American people
against England. Even our dignified
senate has seen flt to protest against
IL.
Now. why we should blame England
for protecting its working people we
cannot well make out England, like
ourselves, finds herself in period
OF reconstruction. Thousands OF men
and women who have been engaged
upon war work, find themselves out
OF employment because OF the ending
of the war. Returned soldiers are
seeking Jobs. Crippled soldiers,
wards OF the state, must be cared for.
II Is but natural that England should
seize every source of support for its
own people.
Should she sit idly by and allow
this country or any otherto take the
bread out OF the mouths OF her citi-
zens she would be open to severe
censure. No one should take offense
at her action nor should she be CEN
sored FOR her efforts to maintain her
trade and her manufacturing.
The English leaders are not carried
away with any OF this idealism that
seeks TO reform the world twenty
minutes by stroke OF pen. They
seek peace and fraternal fellowship
with other nations, but they realize
that the best way TO be OF benefit tc
the world Is to be respected, II not
feared; that in order to be respected
she must take care OF her own peo-
pie. TO that end her statesmen bent
their energies long before the war
ended. Their foresight Is to be prais-
ed, not censured.
II our own United States leaders
would mix some OF the common sense
lessons that the war has taught with
their idealism II would be far better
for the nation as a whole.

Chances are that the rural repre-

may put over the constabulary bill
because they are being told the pur-

OUR ELECTRIC PLANT

Several weeks ago we advised those
interested to lengthen the chain on

plant. From events transpired since
then we would advise putting on an
other dog. 1t looks as though he is
going to be needed. It may be true
that the electric power plant is in a
dilapidated condition and no longer
fit to furnish electric power in guam
titles to meet the requirements of our
growing city but it is going to be
hard to convince the people at large

WHITE WASH"
For Fickert Expected; Says
California Editor.

San Francisco-The San Francisco
Call assumes an "I-told-you-so" atti-
tude on the grand jury exoneration of
District Attorney Fickert, who was
charged with improper conduct in
the Mooney trial by Director Gen
eral Densmore of the United States
employment service.
"The grand jury" says the Call,
"has 'vindicated' Fickert again No
body who knew anything about the
grand jury expected anthing else.
The evidence against Fickert in the
Densmore report was, to put it mild
ly, considerably stronger than any of
the evidence Fickert introduced
against the defendants in the Bomb
cases, but that made no difference.
The grand jury might have censured
the district attorney had he gone be-
fore it, and made full confession
of everything that has over been
charged against him, but one cannot
be sure of that. Possibly it would
have contented itself with reproaching
him gently for being morbidly con-
scientious
''Two different government investi-
cations had led to the conclusion that
the bomb case convictions were not
legitimately obtained. The trial judge
in the Mooney case had been con-
vinced of the same thing. President
Wilson has been convinced, as his
repeated and fruitless appeal to
Governor Stephens showed Every
impartial Investigator Zone might al
most say every Investigator who look
ed carefully into the case without the
bias of local interests) has reached
the same conclusion. The grand
jury's members acted as their hnclin-
ations, their associations, their atti-
tude toward the Mooney case led
them to. They wanted to white wash

old plant and purchase current else
where. Judging from the expressions
heard on all sides the majority of tax
payers do not take kindly to the pro-
position. Hamilton people are always
ready to give up most anything when
the necessity requires as was well
proven during the war period, but
there is little sentiment attached
to that little old electric light plant
that causes them to hesitate before
adding their approval of the pro-
position to abandon the old plant
when the subject is broached. They
say that the old plant has saved the
users of electric current thousands
of dollars in the past.
Many advance the theory that with
the city owning its own site we ought
to be able to enlarge the present
plant at cost far below $3.50, 100000,
the estimated cost of a new plant as
advanced by Mayor Smith, that would
furnish the electric power needs of
the city for the next twenty-five or
thirty years to come. And at the
same time we would be independent
of any outside concern.
The committee named by Mayor
Smith to investigate the condition of
the plant are very representative
gentlemen and have the fullest con-
fidence of the entire community but
what do the greater majority of these
gentlemen know about electricity?
Why not put men of practical exper-
ience in that line on the committee
such as electricians and builders !?
The men named on the committee
may understand figures as put before
them-that is the theory side-but
nothing of the practical side of the
problem. Why shouldn't labor have
larger representation on the commit.
tee? Out of twelve appointed but two
lone laborites are named. Labor is
just as much interested in this great
question as is the manufacturer
merchant, banker or professional man
The greater majority of the taxpay
ers in this city are workingmen anc
they are entitled to equal considera
tion in all questions concerning taxes
1t is only a short time since oul
evening papers We're making a grea
ado about an outside concern string
ing heavy high tension wires through
the county, claiming the purpose wa
to eventually creep in here, sell cur
rent, steal our electric plant and pu
it out of business, and called on al
citizens and the city administrator
to rise up and keep themout. Yol
don't hear any of that jargon now
Why the sudden change of front
