The Augean stables should be

garments of servitude where they

are employed to serve.
In ell history there has never
been crime more UNANIMOUSLY
committed against the property
of nation.
Valuable oil lands belonging to
the government, needed for naval
purposes, have been handed over
to the oil kings for mere song.
Read the list of hired lawyers,
men high in the councils of
both parties and the fabulous
fees they received.
No man tainted with oil money
should hold a seat of power.
Every guilty one of them
should wear the stripes.
The people who MOL and toll
have been crushed by a load OF
disaster.
Honest men who work in the
sunshine, rain and cold are barely
able to buy bread. Around their
necks have been fastened a load
of governmental expenses which
must be paid out of taxes wrung
from them by the sale of their
homes on the execution block,

The guillotine should be the
peoples answer to this outrage.
Take the situation in our own
state.
The governor orders an inves-
tigation as to why Georgia is dis
eliminated against in the price Of
gas and oil.
The answer of the Standard
Oil Company, the soulless trust
and pricefiXer, is to raise the
price of fasoline in Georgia eight
cents in one month.
And why?
To brazenly show its CONTEMPT
for your chief executive and for
law.
We are opposed to extra SEES
sions of the legislature, but if
We were governor we'd call that
body together in special session
and pass a law that would forever
sound the death knell of the reign
of the oil company in Georgia.
Our answer would be the axe of
eternal dissolution in this state
for the avaricious and soulless
bunch who place greed above the
rights Of the people.
These people deserve no quar-
ter and no mercy. They have
ruthlessly trampled justice und.r
their uuholy feet and should meet
the fate that is usually melted OUT
to the highwayman. The career
of the oil monopoly is cankered
with corruption and the time has
come to sunder its head and let it
fall into the infamous slime
which it has created.
The people are entitled to
clean officials and honest govern
ment and they are going to have
it.

In case oil is struck in any quantity at Kanatak, Seward, Anchorage and neighboring towns would lose half their population over night. To think that we would not lose population would be to deceive ourselves, as oil stampedes in the states have shown an influx of persons looking for easy money, in every camp where the flow ing gold has come in. The question confronting us today is how to com bat this hegira of desirable citizens. It is natural for hope to spring eter- nal in the human breast, and those of us who have lost hope are still full of human cussedness and crave the ex- citement of a stampede. It is true the backwash would again fill the towns in proximity to the oil fields, but in the meantime what will we do. The prudent mariner keeps his vessel under control, and the ship of state must also have a firm hand at the til- Ter. In case oil is struck have we anything to offer the man with, the itching foot to induce him to remain with us?

WHERE WAS FIGHTING" BOB

While our boys were fighting in the trenches of France in 1917, going over the top in the face of an enemy through barbed-wire entanglements, mud and slime, defying death for national cause, and while millions of patriots at home were spending their money to give them help and encour- 2gement, where was the man now call d Fighting Bob"?
 He was at home in the halls of con- yress, doing his best to embarrass his country and place the boys in greater langer of death. He is the man whose var record was so unsavory that he vas haled before the United States Senate for having given utterances which according to his prosecutors have already served to create treas ,nable sentiment in the state of Min lesota, and being spread through the public press can have no other effect han to weaken the support of the government in the conduct of the var"
 The Minnesota commission of pub- ic safety petitioned the Senate to in- ;titute proceedings looking to the ex- oulsion of the said Robert M. LaFol- cite from the Senate, as teacher of iisloyalty and sedition, giving aid and :omfort to the enemy and h;ndering he government in the conduct of the var. It was about year and half after the war was over that the re- port of the committee on privileges and elections made report, stating hat it regretted that the Senator's actions did not justify action by Con- gress, although number of Senators bitterly denounced La Follette's acts IS reasonable in the extreme.
 At this time LaFollette did not ap- pear on the floor of the Senate for over three months, and was treated with contempt by his confreres when

PROGRESSIVES CONFER

Seward is now standing with reluct- ant feet where the small town and ard city meet. Her stores and her streets are comparable with those of any city Outside with ten times the population, but we find it hard to get away from the small town stuff. We have site for a population of ten thousand, but no place to house them if they came. Times are good and carpenters many, but getting car penter at the right end of sill for a dwelling is the problem. After put ting in a week trying to get house for an employe recently arrived, we are here to state that if triplets ever come to any Seward family they will have to be housed in the dog kennel.

That mining in the Tenderfoot dis tc:c: may soon receive an impetus is ird sted by the fact, says the Fair Dank3 News Miner, that extensive prospecting work is being done in that region at the present time. Tender foot is just beyond Richardson, on the Richardson highway, and supplies are easily transported into the district.
 MT. Richard Thomson, who has. been mining on Ester during the sum- mer, returned from the Tenderfoot district Tuesday last. MT. Thomson intended to remain longer, but was obliged to return to Ester because of very important business. His partner Albert Bernard and Fred Jurgessen, will continue the prospecting work. Two holes have been sunk already and it is said that the showing is good.
