BAKERS HYPOCRISY

CECRETARY of War Baker tries to
= create the impression that with the
United States in the league of nations
American ornaments could be ma.
terially reduced. IF we do not 20 into
the league of nations" he declares,
I'VE must continue to arm. If we are
to play lone hand it must be strong
hand" Let us see about that. Last
summer the President, Mr.. Baker, and
all the rest of them were quite conf
dent that the league covenant would be
ratified and the United States would be-
come member Whereupon the Sec
retary of War became very urgent in
his recommendations to Congress for
an army of about 100000 men. The
Senate refused to ratify the covenant
and Congress promptly reduced the pro-
posed army to about 325.OO men.
Which is the exact reversal in practice
Of the theories now propounded by Mr..
Baker.

NO PEACE With COX

IT. is quite apparent that Governor Cox
: intends to do one thing if he is
elected to the Presidency, even though
he may fail in everything else. That is
to keep this country in state of war
until the moment shall arrive when the
Senate will consent to acceptance of
the Wilson league covenant as a part
of treaty of peace. His characteri-
zation of Senator Harding's suggestion
for an immediate peace with Germ any
leaves no doubt on that point. Mr.. Cox
refers to the Harding proposal as ''a
perfectly perfdious act" and 'un-
thinkable, monstrous proposal" 'this
dishonorable deed, 7" and an ''insult" to
the veterans of the war. All those ex-
tremes of denunciation he applies to
the. promise Of Senator Harding to
make matter of official record that
which every sensible person knows to
be matter of fact-that the United
States is at peace with Germany.

WEEKS SPANKS FRANKIE

Ex-senator John w. Weeks has
- administered verbal spanking to
Franklin D. Roosevelt which ought to
be felt way up under the silk collar Of
that nice young feller. Roosevelt.
whose recent disquisitions on Govern
ment have qualified him for the chart
class, has been heaping abuse on Elihu
Root and Henry Cabot Lodge. 'This
seems. to me little short Of impudence,
coming from man who owes his nomi-
nation to Fammany Hail." declares
Senator Weeks. Certainly Mr.. Lodge
is one of the leading statesmen of this
country, and the same is true of ex-
Senator Root, who is now on the other
side accomplishing a work for the bene-
fit of mankind and the peace of the
world which will be so much more
potent than anything that has been
done by the present Administration in
that particular direction that the result
will not be comparable. Mr.. Roose-
velt has been called by his admirers "a
nice young man., and l have always
thought SO myself, but that does not
license him to sit in judgment on the
accomplishments of Mr.. Root and Mr..
Lodge" And think of having frankie
as Vice President sitting in judgment
on the accomplishments of the entire
United States Senate. Horrible
thought.

AMERICAN LEGION.
Gompers O. Ks Is as Not An

Personal endorsement of the Ameri. can Legion by Samuel Gompers, presi. dent of the American Federation o1 Labor, is contained in letter from MT Gompers to F. B. Wi1l<in, secretary o1 the Union Labor Council of Needles Cal, according to an article printed recently in the Needles Nugget.
 The letter was written in answer to a question from WillSin as to the atti- tude of Mir. Gompers and the American Federation of Labor toward the legion MT. Gompers' letter is quoted as fol lows:
 "The American Federation of Labor has not made any declaration regarding the American Legion, but speaking fol myself cannot see any reason why ex' service men, whether members of or ganized labor, or not members of or. ganized labor, should not join the Amer. ican Legion.
 "When I was in New York city re. gently, Mr. Franklin D'Olier, nationa commander of the American Legion asked for a conference with me which of course, I readily granted, at which we discussed general subject matter of the legion. He very greatly depre cated that acts and declarations of :

WHICH STRIKE?
More Light Needed on High Cost
 of Living "Bunk'

Whenever the workers complain abou the high cost of living and the out rageous prices that they are compelled 1 to pay for everything they buy, ever, profteer and every person and interes that defends the profiteering system stands on his hind feet and yells tha the high prices are caused by strike. and labor troubles, high wages and al that sort of thing. Thy hope thus to fool the. public into believing that | labor itself is responsible for the high prices and in that way to throw dust | i'll the eyes of the people so that they cannot see the real truth. Which strike caused the price of eggs to go from 60 cents to $1.05 a dozen Which strike caused the price of but ter to go from 64 cents to 90 cents a pound?
 Which strike caused the price of sugar to go from 10 cents to 221z cents pound?
 Which strike caused the price of oysters to go from 40 cents to 80 cents quart?
 Which strike caused the price of fish to go from cents to 28 cents pound !?
 Which strike caused the price of ap-
 Which strike caused shoes to go from $3 to $12 pair?
 Which strike caused lumber to ad- vance from $40 to $50 thousand feet? Which strike caused bread to go from 5 cents to 12 cents loaf?
 Which strike caused gingham to go from 10 cents to 40 cents yard?
 Which strike caused house rents in the cities to go up 100 per cent? The strange part of 1t all is sthat the public has been induced to some ex- tent at least, to believe that strikes and labor troubles did cause these high prices, and there is disposition on the part of many people to lay the blame on labor Of course, this is all due to lack of information on the subj ect. Prohteers have made and still are mak- ing so much money that they can well afford to spend lot of it to fool the public
 Listen to this: There are 18,000 more mil1ionaires III the United States today than there were before the war.
 That's the answer to the high cost of living.
 The next time you hear any one charge that the high prices of the neces- saries of life are due to strikes and labor troubles ask him the above ques- tions and insist on answers to all of them Then it will be found that the charge against labor is false.

 The attorney general agreed to this suggestion that the sedition bill, which is shorter than the Graham bill or the Davey bill, the latter having been o. K.'d by the attorney general.
