in nine cases out of ten The kicker's
name Is not written there. and it is
monumental effrontery for him to
dip in and tell the editor Of this paper
how to run It. Until a person is a
subscriber, his kicks receive scant
consideration in this office.
The Dispatch, more than anyone
else, is conscious Of its imperfections.
Under the adverse conditions Of war
it lis struggling with many problems,
taxing the ingenuity and resourceful-
ness Of its publisher, and calling for
an outlay Of capital undreamed Of in
the past. But by industry and deter
mination we have kept the old ship
riding the crest of the storm in good
shape, meeting the appreciation of its
subscribers and the public generally.
1t may not measure up to the stan
dard Of the hypercritical, but it suits
most folks, and will continue along
its present course.
But if you want to throw bricks,
suppose you pay for the throwing, is
our admonition to all those who would
indulge the pastime.

GASOLINE GOING UP

The Acknowledgement, through
some of his per cent men, has insti-
tuted another suit-this time against
the Standard Oil Company, and for
ten million dollars. The Dispatch is
not in the habit of judging issues to
be adjudged later by the courts, but
it occurs to US that little will come
out Of such litigation.
If the suit has merit, the oil com
pany will probably fight it out; and
if they lose, it will likely be compro-
missed for a few hundred thousand
dollars, part Of which will go in COM
mission to the Attorney Generals
office, and the balance to the state
treasury. The Standard Oil Company
will then add a cent or two to the
price of gasoline or oil and thus the
people will indirectly pay the fine and
much more.
The Steel Trust and the Oil Trust
are dealing in a public necessity; they
have an absolute monopoly, and they
merely pass all the fines and losses
on to the people-the ultimate con-
sumner. When you must have the
other fellows goods, handle him
carefully.

The President wants Congress to
authorize him to, accept mandate
for the government of Armenia.
A mandate for Armenia means that
American soldiers and American dol
lars will guarantee to maintain the
territorial integrity and political SOW
ereignty of that unhappy European
country, several thousand miles from
our shores.
1t will cost us millions of dollars
and probably thousands of lives to
maintain a tranquil government in
this hot-bed of European intrigue
and diplomacy.
1t will be the beginning of the OPP
Grafton of Article 10 of the Peace
Treaty before the treaty has ever
been ratified, and will mark a de-
parture from our governments policy
of hundred and forty4four years.
If Congress grants a mandate for
Armenia, the European nations can
turn over to America any other hard
problems which may be deemed
necessary for the peace of the world;
and thus our country will be EN-
broled in the never ending turmoil of
European politics.
Congress will probably save us
from such fate. Congress ought to
save us. There are too many acute
problems at home to be settled before
undertaking to right all of Europe.

MEXICO'S NATIONAL TRAIT
EXEMPLIFIED

Now that the full particulars of the
murder of Former President Carran-
"a have become known to the world,
we must observe that the Mexican
national trait-treachery-has found
its fullest expression.
This old gentleman--deposed from
his high office-had been promised
safe passage to the sea by Obregon,
If he would leave the country,
Another Mexican cut-throat named
Herrera was assigned the task Of
assisting him to the coast. Herrera
professed undying allegiance TO Car
rama, gained his confidence, and
was admitted to his camp. His men
were assigned the task of guarding
the deposed president while he slept,
and at the mid-hour of the night his
body was riddled with bullets.
The whole civilized world shudders
at such monstrous treachery, and one
is led to wondering if government
of such people will ever become
stable; if constitutional guarantees
for the protection of life, liberty and
property will ever be established and
order maintained.
The American people are being
asked by the President to send an
army and to appropriate millions Of
dollars for continental Europe to es-
tablish an orderly government five
thousand miles from our shores.
Once embarked upon such a program,
we may be expected to become the
guarantor for the whole world, while
at our doors, adjoining our own
country. is nation infinitely worse
than the Armenans-a nation whose
by-play is assassination, who murder
Americans with impunity, who shoot
up our border towns and destroy life
and property; who burn, and sack

trolls its executive and legislative
functions. Our government ceases to
be government Of the people when
one class controls and shapes it's
destiny to the exclusion of all others.
America is facing a critical period
in her history now-with the power
Of wealth invading the sanctuaries Of
our government.

WINS GAME

. i
The, last game on the home diamond
was read letter one for the home
team. When the boys crossed bats
with the Ruso nine from up county
ways, the boys were facing a team
that had made a name for itself this
season in. base ball. But the Wash
burn team proved too much for them
for after the first half Of the ninth
inning the score stood 10 to 4 with
Russo holding the short end. "a,'
: Both teams played good ball and
it was an even game for both sides
up until the last of the game when
Washburn ran in several scores. in one
inning. In the first inning each team
scored twice, but from then on Ruso
was only able to make 2 more runs.
Harris Robinson distinguished him
self by knocking the only home run
Of the season. Robinson always heads
the batting list for Washburn's heavy
hitters and first ball pitched Sunday
was sent way to- the back fence,
while "Robby" circled the diamond in
less time than it takes to tell it.
The rest of the team played good
ball as it was shown, by the support
they gave the battery.
