COPY of the Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan) Eve
~ ming Times printed February 9, 1915 was found
this week behind picture in an old frame at
the Redwood Cleaners. The picture was being replaced
with of President Roosevelt.
Printed almost 10 years ago, the paper is
yellow with age but its accounts of the efforts of the
allies during the early months of the World War recall
many memories
The then months old. Confident at
the outset that Germany could resist the allies
than six months at the most the Canadian editor
and undoubtedly thousands of others in positions of
less Importance, had to realize that the
strength of the foe had been grossly under estimated
Although not venturing guess of his own, the
Moose Jaw editorial writer that day quoted statesmen
of England and Canada who frankly admitted they did
not know when the war would end. "It may be three
months, it may be three years. the editor gave as the
concensus
Already they had concluded that neither the Ger
man navy nor the army the Central Powers weak
point. Victory, the writer quoted financial experts
saying, would more probably through Germany's
inability to support the financial strain of The
allies, the Canadian paper felt, in much strong
er position financially.
There is hint in the editorial section of the
paper that America might enter the or that the
allies might need the loans which later were handed
literally.
The front page is packed with war news; the bat
tie of Boiselle in the French sector Russian often
sve Turk cruiser shelled Greece demanded that
Germany respect her flag, Austrian and Roumanan
lations strained, America involved in some con-
troversy German respect for neutral ships After
months, the first $4,000 Canadian soldiers were
nearing the front.
Today shocked at the toll of auto accident
deaths and floods earthquakes that take several
of lives bring sincere expressions of sympathy
STEPPED in the bitterness of war, Canadian readers
probably enjoyed that days report that million
Prussan casualties had occurred in the months
perod-just Americans read of later casualties of
the enemy with feeling of triumph.
History books have too many pages clarifying the
deeds of famous generals, too few telling of these
CRIME tragedies of war; the thousands killed and maim
ed, the thousands of others made homeless the effect
the generations to 1t is not strange that
youth looks upon big adventure. Musty
paper files might be used to present the true picture
of modern conflicts between nations.
The old fellow who used to serenade his best girl
with guitar has who gets quicker results with
auto horn.
business authority says that what the country
needs just is honesty secontrol and faith That's
about all it needed.

What Others Think

One argument advanced for state MIRA in addition
to national that the state could take up the lack
of enforcement it is claimed follows the purely nation
al setup. Imagining the states, own, show
ing the federal government how to enforce law is a
merry jest.-Farmont Sentinel.
"My boy" said the millionaire lecturing his son
on the Importance of economy, "when 1 your age
carried water for gang of bricklayers." "Im proud
of you father" answered the eff it hadn't been
for your pluck and perseverance, might have had to
do something like that mysef."-Jackson Pilot.
"When we entered the World War, our expenses
jumped from less than billion to over Is billions
average per year for 191S1919more than 1--WE billions
yearly greater than the present sum. Most of that
money went for 1t blown up, burned up,
loaned up and otherwise destroyed. For the 10 bill
lions involved in the Presidents Peacetme emergency
program at least we will have bridges and roads
and public buildings and domestic instead of foreign
loans Instead of death and shattered bodies and pen
sions we will have rehabtated army of unemployed
larger than the army that went 'over there Wash

THERE is no reason to become panicky today be-
| cause the Constitution does not mean to
actly what it meant to those who framed it. We
don't live in the world. AS long the Constitu-
ton adapts itself to changing civilization it is
good Constitution. And it does adapt itself When
it doesn't, the people change it in few particulars
and it still serves. A reasonable extension and
strengthening of Federal police power-the proposal
of which is largely the of this debate about the
failure of the states and the undermining of the Con-
stitution-s not going to any revolution in this
country lead to the abandonment of traditional

Ohm WANAMAKER, the great Philadelphia and
New York merchant, said many wise things in his
y day, chief among which his thought on old
friendships expressed in the following: Don't let old
friendships be easily broken. Try to cement them

poverty should alter the relation Of old friends It
is human for all to make mistakes We have all

before that there only few things that count,

uing friendship. No man has too many friends, if
they are Of the right variety And just when

his friendships and who takes to see that none

HUNTERS WARNED
TO AVOID HIGHWAYS
Maryland and Virginia Wardens
Cite Danger Of Hitting Mo-
torists on Roads.

Hunters in Maryland and Virginia
have been warned by game wardens
in those States against shooting game
too close to highways because of the
danger of hitting motorists and others
passing along the thoroughfares.
The warning was sent after State
officials had their attention called to
the matter by the American Automo-
bile Association District of Columbia
Motor Club, following complaints of
members.
Few hunters" said Ernest N. Smith,
executive vice president of the A. A. A.,
would deliberately fire their guns
near highway. However, in the ex-
citement of the hunt, they may over
look nearby traffic. The safe pro-
cedure is for them to familiarize
themselves with the locality in which
they are engaged in sport and see
that they are well away from roads. "

The Numbers ''Pay-Off''
How d Newspaper May Aid the Ciy's Worst
Racket by Printing "Totals" Is
Explained.

The numbers gambler looks for
these numbers and knows that the
''pay-off" number is the three number
combination resulting from taking the
numeral preceding the decimal point
in each total. The "pay-off" in this
case is OCT.
Now, suppose the newspapers-as
| The Star, Post, Herald and Times
have done-all agreed to eliminate
publishing this total. The numbers
gambler would have to add these
figures himself-830 plus $40 plus
440 plus 41O plus 800 plus 470 for
the first total; 2450 plus 6.10 plus
430 plus 800 plus 2.90 plus $40 for
the second total. and 900 plus $50
plus $40 plus 1100 plus $50 plus 800.
Not a hard task, when you might
win something? Perhaps not, but
considering the mentality of the great
majority of regular numbers victims,
fair job in simple arithmetic.
The point stressed by United States
Attorney Garnett has been that print
ing the totals is of interest only to
the numbers gamblers; that failure to
print the totals would deprive great
number of them of their ready, avail
able source of information-stamped
with accuracy which newspaper pub
lication implies-on the ''pay-off."
Exchange Banned Figures.
When the New York Stock Ex-
change, for instance, stopped publica-
ton of certain figures on total trad
ing, except in round numbers, the
numbers racketeers had to get another
number. If the race totals were stop
ped, they might get another number,
but that matter could be taken care
of when it arose.
The publication Of the race track
totals interests nobody but the gam
blers, and the assurance of such pub
lication is said to be one Of their
greatest assets in conducting the game,
pronounced Washington's largest racket
and conducted by the city's chief un-
derworld big shots"

COAL MEN PR0FFER
POWER PLAN TO U. S.
Farm Home Electrifcation Scheme
Urged on Ickes to Supplant
Present Program.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 10.-A ma
tional recovery program predicated
on the electrihcation of homes Of
Al, 3,000, 600 farm residents has been
forwarded to Secretary of Interior
Ickes and was made public yesterday
by George J. Leahy, chairman of the
National Job Saving and Investment
Protection Bureau for the coal in
dustry.
Leahy said the plan proposed cur
tailment of Federal hydro-electric
power developments and substitution
of electrical development from pres
ent sources.
The Government plan, Leahy said,
will eventually cost more than s4,-
600, 100000, put more than 100000
persons out of work and electrify only
q few hundred thousand farms over
q long period Of years"
The coal industry's program, he
said, would put nearly 100000 men
in permanent jobs instead of elimi-
mating 100000 and would electrify g.
000.00 farms instead Of q small
number"
I'VE have recommended to Mr..
Ickes," Leahy said, that q commit
tee be appointed from representatives
Of the coal industry, railroads, utili-
ties and the Federal Public Works
Administration to discuss the possi-
bilities Of such a gigantic program"

FIGHT ON NUMBERS
Former U. S. Marshal Says
HoodIumS Thrive on
Gambling Racket.

John c. Moran of Providence, r. L.,
former United States marshal, ex-
pressed surprise at the activity of
numbers runners in Washington after
he had learned the extent of the
racket here.
ut would seem to me-" Mr.. Moran
said after a visit with officials in the
Department of Justice End Internal
Revenue. that the newspapers of
Washington, led by The Star, are
doing monumental piece of work in
trying to drive out the numbers rack
eteerS"
Told that The Star, the Washing
ton Post, the Herald, the Times and
the four local radio stations had ac-
Ceded to request of United States
Attorney Garnett in refraining from
publication and broadcasting of to-
talked numbers from the race tracks,
Mr.. Moran said:
washington, the city, is given
credit in my part of the country for
oeoA SAAAS Vic iluiiiOClo Sdlllc, lllOuSIl
have read that it got its start in
New York. The origin of the game
makes no difference. The actual work
ing of the game is what hurts. AS a
law enforcement officer for many
years, believe that most of the hood
1um element thrives on this racket
That it is a racket is a fact known
to most lawyers, police officers, gov
ernment law enforcement officials and
others interested. The general pub
lie, I believe, is not aware of the ex-
tent OF this racket-nor why it should
be called a racket. Anything in
America may be called a racket where
the promoters have all the best of
the bargain, where the person on the
other end has little or no chance for
an even break
Knowing the numbers game as I
do, having watched its promoters at
work, having put some of them be-
hind the bars, I have no hesitancy
whatsoever in saying that this is the
greatest racket in America. The odds
against winning are terrific, and the
odds that winner can collect are
another factor. I have found that
so long as very few winners appear
they may win; but if everybody taps
the till the bankers move out. That
Is another profit of racketeering."
