A BAD DOOR OF SALMON.

Hundreds OF thousands OF cans OF
salmon fish were spoiled before being
canned for the American soldiers to
use, is the testimony being brought to
light before the su bcommittee on food
supplies of the House committee inves-
tigating expenditures in the War De-
partment.
"Chairman Reevis, of Nebraska, has
proven by experts from the Bureau OF
Chemistry that this almon was spoiled
before being canned. According to tes-
timony of these experts when salmon
spoils in can after being canned decom-
position sets in and the gases that &C
cumulate cause the cans to swell and
often burst Such was not the case with
the hundreds of thousands OF cans OF
spoiled salmon which the War Depart
mant purch ased from the salmon pack
ers ~ Washington Dispatch.
In the time of the Spanish
American War embalmed beef
was a source of scandal. And
when the newspapers of the land
found it out they proceeded to
make Washington howl, and no
sedition law made them chary of
their rebuke. But, suppose this
rotten salmon business had been
found out a year since, would
the newspapers of the country
have dared to say anything about
it? We want some good demo-
crat to answer this.

THE PRIMARY.

The vote in Republican prima-
ry Saturday was a great surprise
to many who did not believe such
an endorsement would be given
Messrs. Rogers and Coppinger.
The News, however, felt all along
that this would the decision.
With many it was sympathy
for Mr.. Coppinger, as they could
not vote against a man with a
shoulder filled with shot in at
tempting to do his duty. and Mr..
Rogers has made a multitude of
voters indebted to him by acts of
kindness in many ways.
The vote was not a rebuke 10
the defeated candidates. but was
the result of prior determination
of the Republican voters.
HUNDREDS OF them, equally as
well, would have enjoyed voting
for any of the defeated candi-
dates
The verdict now having been
MADE by a majority vote, it only
remains now for Republicans to
line themselves solidly for the
August elections, and then for
November, when America will
once more be made for Ameri-
cans, a task the Republican par
ty, in solid front, only, can
achieve.

UNCLE TOMS LETTER

| ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Editor News:
I've decided to tell the boys
and girls of the News some stor-
les as related by tine old people
when | was a boy. | could sit
for hours and listen to old man
King PeeIer tell what fun he
had with the girls when he first
began to gobble and strut around.
He said he knew he wasn't good
looking, but he was so fun-lov-
ing that the girls couldn't help
liking him, and Pop, that was
his wife, couldn't hardly keep
her hands off him and just ha!
ha! Poor thing, she would say:
Why, Mr.. Peeler? You see,
Tommie, it is not the good looks,
but fun-loving way that capture
a girl. F."
used to knock around a fam
lily of girls that lived close to Mr..
Peeler, and Mr.. Peeler, although
uneducated, would give me les
son in courtship. 1t was funny
to note the interest the old man
took in his neighbor boys. He
said the hardest thing for him
was to remember what he had
studied up all the week to say to
his girl on Sunday. "Tommie, /
never could, somehow | lost my
memory and didn't know what
to say ano came pretty near say
ing it, and I'll tell you. boys.
some girls are like lodestones and
so attractive they will draw a
Teller for miles and uphill to
boot. :"
Il would love to say just here
guess there are thousands of
men who have been drawn al
most around the world by some
attractive, nice GIRL" King said.
Boys, ! can tell you how you
may know whether a girl likes
you or not" Of course we boys
were eager to know and we were
were all ears to hear.
Now, listen boys, he declar-
ed, if a girl likes a Teller she
will take extra pains to primp up
and even improve in her talk.
That's been a long time ago and
and it holds good to this day.
I've noticed this manifestation of
the girls all thru my life and IN
Gle Kings statement is true.
They will take extra caution
when in the presence of anyone
they like, and no human being
can excel a young lady who de-
sires to fascinate and charm a
young man she likes.
Uncle King was raised in the
mountains of East Tennessee
and had danced manv a night on
a puncheon floor.
Some of you boys may not
know how chivalrous the boys of |
a hundred years ago were toward
the ladies of that day and time.
A boy that would have smoked
in the presence of ladies, or used |
ugly language, would have been |
kicked out of society. and girl |
that used tobacco in any form
would have been considered no
account. True, they were raised |
in log cabins with puncheon
floors, went to log cabin school
houses, and sat on split log
benches. and | must say for man
ners none of the boys, or girls Ell
Their, of this day excel them in
gentlemanly or ladylike conduct.
No gentleman, old or young, |
would misbehave where there
were ladies. Any elderly person
will vouch for the truth of this
statement. Can you say as much
for the boys of today? No you
can't. Some have lost all re-
spect for the feminine sex. and
that is the reason so many of US
older men oppose woman suffrage
for we would shield them from
the corrupting influence of poll
ties and protect them from the
BLACKBOARD element. We know

from l ne 116une's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Republican
Floor Leader Mondell emphasized. the
problem of economy in appropriations
by Congress when he told The House to-
cay that if there is to be any consid-
erable expenditure beyond the esti-
mates or for new purposes it should be
coupled with new tax sufficient to
meet the added drain on the Treasury
Mr. Mondell reiterated that Congress
should appropriate at least ST. 900 000,-
900 less than the executive departments
wanted. He urged that passage of the
many proposals for new ways of
spending money and for bond issues
peared in the House would send the
totai Of expenditures far beyond the
governments income
While the floor leader did not saw So
the inference was left in the minds OF
many members that the Republican
leaders are determined to oppose any
proposal such as those which have been
made for the issuance of bonds to pay
bonuses to returned service men. No
one on either side of the House wants
10 put new tax on the American peo-
pie at this time, and if the Republican
majority could confront members i'm

soldiers and sailors with the prospect of
having the tax burden increased, they
