UPHOLD THE LAW

CONGRESSMAN Louis C. Cramton.
- of Michigan, aided in the grant OF
funds to the internal revenue bureau
for the enforcement Of the prohibition
law in the same amount that has been
spent in the current year. Mr.. Cram
ton did not base his arguments alone on
the merits of prohibition, but empha-
sized the fact that if Congress does not
stand back of the executive department
in the enforcement of the law it will
have disastrous effect on the country
in general. "We must give the sane
ton of Congress to the enforcement OF
the law of the Nation" Mr.. Cramton
declared amid applause. If we now, in
the second year of our efforts. cut down
the money for the enforcement of that
amendment, we serve notice to the
country mistakenly, but nevertheless
it will be so accepted-that the re-ac.
ton has commenced; that the era Of
open lsw.breaking is beginning. say
we cannot afford it. -

SOUP KITCHENS

THIS Administration began with
/ bread lines and soup kitchens,
and is ending with bread lines and soup
kitchens. In the Spring of 1914 its
free trade follies were closing factories,
and mills all over the country, throwing
thousands of workmen out of employ
ment, and but for the World War,
which acted as tariff wall totally shut
ting off foreign importations, the whole
period from then till now would more
and more have shown these distressing
conditions arising from paralyzed home
industries.
In fact, those free trade policies not
only would have caused widespread
trade depression but would finally have
ended in a panic, the greatest, proba-
blv. this Nation has ever known.
Already Germany has perfected plans
to flood the United States with her
cheap goods whose general sale here
will close or cripple great numbers OF
ou1n.manufacturies, and bring wide
spread ruin upon both Capital and
Labor.
The only thing that will save tEe
country from this grave peril, is Re-
publican tariff, reasonable, fair tariff
that will give protection to needy indus
tries without at the same time promot-
ing monopolies and offering the power
full trusts further means to Cypress the
people.
Of course the old Standpatter gang
are trying once more to put upon the
necks of the people their "Big Busi-
ness yoke of an excessively high
tariff. But the Progressives who sue
cessfully protested against this abuse
of that noble Republican doctrine OF
Protection that made it an instrument
of tyranny in the hands of Privilege,
are now in control of the party, ane
these monopolistic conspirators will moi
be permitted again thus to wreck thu
party, and enslave the people.
These wise and patriotic principles O.
theRepublican doctrine of protection vii
under the safe and sane leadership O
President Harding, save the Natiol
from the double peril of the tyranny O
Trust high tariff on the one hand, ant
the disasters of Democratic free trad
on the other.

SEWARD YOUTHS EDIT AND PUBLISH SOCIAL MAGAZINE
 IN SEATTLE

A copy of the Zephyr" g social magazine for the younger set of Seat tie reached Seward yesterday. There is nothing startling about the arrival of a magazine from the states, but in this particular instance the arrival created considerable interest because of the fact that this copy of the first edition of the Zephyr" represents the combined work and individual talent of two Seward youths who only recent iy left Seward fer the States. Emmett Krefting who was given 8 farewell party by the young people of Seward about three weeks ago is the Adver- esing manager and Jim Hawkins son of T. W. Hawkins, prominent Seward merchant; Is the Art Editor. James T.
 H
 Riteh, is the editor. Emmett Krefting is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kratng. He has been studying . course in ioupalism during the past few years and since the time when he was . little fellow has always express
 Ia. f ra
 ed . desire to write something some day that would really be worth while. He used to sell newypapers when he was . little tot who was unable to count beyond six. Jimmie Hawkins whose clever original cartoons and drawings haselattracted much interest told his father before leaving Seward that he would make rood ss an artist. He kept ahh promise.

cange, and the Carnegie library, and did much damage elsewhere.
 But the extent of the conflagration is of less moment than the incendiary spirit which caused it and which threatens the ruin of Ireland. Foi months the burning of creameries has beer going on, in retaliation for at tacl,s on the soldiery and police, and the unhappy island is menaced with such as has overtaken those regions in Europe which bore the brunt of war. Things have gone from bad to worse, and the great fire at Cork makes gloomy beginning for Lloyd Georges new double policy"
 That intensified coercion would be met by intensified violence was to be foreseen. and if the promised peace negotiations are not pressed with energy things are likely to be done which will make settlement impossible. To expect tranquility to be restored as a condition of peace is to expect the impossible; wherever the blame for the present deplorable state of things may rest, a bitter fued has been creat- ed which makes violence inevitable.
 Martial law may produce a sem- blance of order, but no military force, when fury reaches 8 certain point of desperation, can prevent murder and incendiarism. To wait for peace be- fore beginning to negotiate would make things worse. The disastrous outbreak at Cork should be warning to the British government of the vital importance of pressing the concilia- tory part of the premier's program Exchange.

THE DISABLED

{American Legion Weeldy)
 America's armed forces suffered ir the war one major easualty- killed in in action, or dead of wounds, disease, accident or other causes for every thousand of her population, men, wo- men and children. France lost one poi lu for every twenty-seven persons ir tl,S republic. Had America suffered in ike proportion, her present total O. $40. 900 men discharged with disabilit! and liable to be in need of hospitaliza' tion or medical care st governmentex pense and under government direction would have surpassed the incredits ble ,otal of twenty-three million.
 We are lucky, or we were sterling fighters, or both anyway, we con- .luded the war with total of killed n action only half that of either Bel yium. Roumania or Bulgaria. One ,triking striking way of pointing out aow lightly .we got off Is to say that Germany alone lost more commission d officers killed in action than we lid all ranks.
 But did we get off lightly? Only on he, basis of dehumanized statistics ,y SO much and no more. Ask blind- a soldier taking training, at Balti- nore whether we got off lightly. Ask i'm if it doesn't make his lot easier o know that America had . bare hun !rcd and fifty men made sightless by gar. as against Europe's thousands. 3ut do not. expect him to answer yes.
 The only bearing which statistical ,amparisions have on the case is to in. dicate the relative simplicity of Amer. ica's disabled problem. The riches, country in the world, and the fewest var cripples to care for.
 The number of Americas disabled men concerns only the detailed ad- ministration of America's duty. After that, good-by arithmetic, and enter the moral factor. The moral factor concerns the obligation itsek. That ob- .igation, reduced to it's lowest terms, 8 this: So lsng ,as one man or woman still suffers from physical or mental handicap that- can be- shown to have been incurred in the service, the na- tion's obligation to the single suffer CT is as definite and anequivocal ss though twenty million wss66o saffer- ing.
