molested and has escaped the judg-
ments OF law. But now the people
are growing weary, restless, and re-
vengcfui
The time has come for the gov
ernment to arrest every man who
takes advantage OF an emergency
to practise extortiop.
This is certainly true OF the hour
in which we arc now living.
The government talked about
seizing the coal mines. The gov-
eminent ought to seize not only the
mines. but everything else that the
prohteer is trying to use for the
purpose Of extorting from the peo-
pie an unjust and unreasonable
profit.
The prohteer should not be al
lowed to do business.
Let the government say to all
prohteers; Every time You raise
the price unjustly. the government
will take from you the right and
the license TO do business"
This is the only way by which
the suffering public can be quieted
and put at case. This is the way by
which the government can restore
confidence in It's sovereignty. in its
power, and in its justice.

IN TOYLAND

Little Johnny Green sat in large
rocking chair reading Christmas
book about Toyland.
"oh dear, wish Christmas was
to-day instead of tomorrow" said
Johnny.
Why" asked an elf dressed in
green that suddenly appeared, and sat
on the arm of the chair.
After Johnny came to his senses he
replied, Il want to see the presents
will get, and | want to see if l will
have SO many toys and games that it
will seem like Toyland, which is de-
scribed in this book"
"That reminds me-" answered the
elf, Il am the elf on the third page
do you remember me?"
Johnny turned back to the third
page and exclaimed, "0h, yes You
are called the Kind Green Elf of
Toyland."
Exactly. Would you like to go to
Toyland? All of the people described
in the Fairy Stories are in Toyland
to-day" replied the elf.
"Yes, will go if you will take me-
replied excited Johnny.
Taking hold of Johnny's hand the
elf turned to his right.
"Oh, how things have changedw
said Johnny.
Eyes, Come and | will introduce
you TO the Queen of the Fairies" re-
piled the elf.
Johnny was led to large throne.
There sat little queen dressed in
shining gold
my dear queen" began the elf"
~ have brought a boy that wishes to
see Toyland. May | show him the
toys and games?"
"Yes." answered the queen turning
to Johnny" you may play with all the
toys, games and puzzles, but be sure
to put them in their right places or
you will have to be sent back home"
IL will put every thing in its correct
place." assured Johnny, bowling low.
"Come on" beckoned the elf.
Hello, Red Riding Hood" called he,
as he pulled Johnny past girl dress
ed in red
"Now," said the elf as he paused in
front of large door. remember
what the queen told you" As the
elf spoke he pushed the door open
and they entered the boys Toylanj,
"Oh look! See, there is the bicycle
want, and that gray car cried
Johnny, as his eyes fell ON these OBJ
jects.
81 will leave you because have to
go to earth and bring some more
children Now please remember what
the queen told YOU" said the e'f as
he closed the door behind him.
Johnny was left alone, but soon he
began to play with the toys He
tried to ride bicycle and he was
urprised to see That he could ride it
the first time. He played with it a
iong time and then he put it back and
played with the gray autembile. At
first he threatened to break some lead
soldiers and, after running mo tele
graph pole. he decided = stop. He
was very glad that he didn't break
the auto. Next he played with lead
soldiers, puzzles and games and read

II. S. QUINTET LOSES TO
PRINCETON PREP

On Janaary 20. the Princeton Prep
School basketball team defeated L..
II. S. in a loosely played game, the
score being 44--6.
On account of seolastic difficulties
we were compelled to send almost an
entirely green team to play this game.
They put UP good fight and deserve
credit for their playing; it being the
first time they ever played basketball
for the High School.
Gamble, Mackie and Byrne were the
outstanding stars of the game. Ebbets,
played at centre for Princeton and
made fine showing. For L. H. s.,
Egan and Parrish were the best bets.

PROFITEERING

We xse told that we are facing a
eosi shortage.
But the shortage of coal is not a
reason fos the increase OF the price
al coal. To increase the price OF
coal would msler it possible for
the rich to have coal. but il would
make it impossible for the poor TO
purchase it.
This country needs so many tons
OF coal. The rich and the poor
alike need the coal The shortage
of coal should not cause the price
to be increased. An increased
price will prevent a just distribu-
ton Of coal.
The only legal and just thing that
can possibly be done is to distrib-
ute the amount of coal we have
among All the people at the same
rate that they wouh have been
charged for the coal had therr been
a sufficient quantity.
The prohteer who takes advan-
tzge Of the situation and raises the
price OF coal is an enemy of the
people.

X. X. X. WIZARD MAKES CHARGES AGAINST
 KHAN LEADER

ATLANTA, Ga, Apr. Exchanges that the present legal battle to oust him from control of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was conceived and is being engineered by Edward Young Clarke and Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler Grow former associates in the propagation department of the Klan, were made early tonight by Dr. H. w. Evans, inn perial wizard of the organization.
 Dr. Evans made public copy of a telegram he said he sent to Tom Akers, and imperial officials from Washington Monday before he was aware that court action was being taken, instructing MT. Akers to call a meeting of Klansmen from every state in the Union to be held in At lanta in the near future for the ex- press purpose of considering the ad- visibility of organizing a woman's auxiliary to the Klan.
 Clarke recently retired from the Klan rendering his resignation to the imperial wizard. Later a proclama- tion was issued from the imperial palace saying that flor the good of the order' Clarke was no longer rec ognized as an official of the Klan. Federal authorities are now seeking him on an indictment charging him with using the mails to defraud
 Mrs. Grow, better known in Klan circles as Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, re- tired from the Klan two years ago after charges had been placed against her and Clarke. Her resignation fol- lowed an alleged attempt to assassi- nate her at her home near here.

The truth Is that the average man with so little time for his morning paper does not get very far with the news of ahe day. Twenty minutes cannot do the work of twenty hours and there is we'll nigh twenty hours of reading in a copy of the New York Herald"

AMERICAN LEGION HELD
 VERY BUSY SESSION

Seward Post No. 5, American Le zion, met in regular session last eve ming, and much business was tran sacted, among which was the adop- tion of a permanent constitution for the guidance of the organization. The Legion has decided to divide it's ses- sions each month; one evening to be devoted to Legion business, the other to social activities. On the latter point it was decided to give smoker on the next meeting night
 Among other matters transacted was the procuring of suitable head stones for the deceased soldiers bur- jed in the Seward cemetery, Chas. w. Brown and Lum Straughn, and others who may later be laid to rest in the cemetery plot. It is hoped that the stones would arrive in time to hold appropriate services on Memorial Day.
 An appropriatio ton was made for the American Legion permanent memorial fund, which is for decorating the graves of the American soldiers bur jed in France. A nation wide move ment among the posts is under way to raise annually a hundred thousand dollars for this purpose.
 The repos of the delegates to the Anchorage Legion convention was ac' cepted. No other business coming up for consideration an adjournment was taken.

 START sHAK[-UP

SEATTLE, Apr. 25.-Following the charge of financial irregularities made by examiners from the state bureau of accountants, Mayor E. J. Brown is making cleanup in the Seattle municipal light department which has charge of the production and sale of electric current.
 D. w. Lamb, freed by dismissal in the superior court of charge of lar ceny, announced today he had resign ed as chief accountant and would be connected with a Seattle electrical company
 The mayor absolved J. D. Ross, who has for many years been head of the department from all blame, but said Mr. Ross should have an assistant to look after details, leaving the chief to deal with large questions.
