HELP THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.
I
The Industrial Workdr cheerfully
joins its loyal contemporary In con
temporary in congratulating our
valiant young hero upon Ins achive
mei t.
He succeeded in condemning a
labor agitator to jail, which In it
relf is r.'.t an unusual acconplish
nient as things go nowadays, but
it i. a totting beginning to a bril
liant career of distinguished ser
vices to h!s country and to his par.
ty. .
.Npw it so happens that the Fed
eral Government has made some
ether proviSk'ns for the succeessful
carrying on of the war with Ger
mrny.
It has gone so far as lo provide
separate administrative depart
ments for tiio proper distribution
of Food and Fuel and has made
adequate regulation intended to
prevent extortionate m r.cpoly
pr'ces in all these commodities
It so happens also that there per
haps ex:3ts nowhere under the jur
jju'ciion of the Unite * States, mo,
f.agrr.nt regulations.
We have a complete monopoly as
to cial, the same concern holding
likewise a monopoly of lighterage
and wharfage.
Coal is procured at $3.00 per ton
.at the tidjw. tcr supply port. This
is a tidewater port on the same
shrre line and the price is over
eight times the above amount.
Then too there are complaints of
arbitrary increases in the prices of
foedsiuffs in excess of a “legiti
mate” profit on original cost, that
is to say goods bought on the same
invoice have slowly crawled up
ward above their retail price at the
close of navigation.
It is even stated that there 13
one leading merchant who names
the selling price for the other deal
ers, etc., all of which is a conspira
cy in restraint of trade and viola
tion of special war measures re
garding Food and Fuel.
All good people should hold
themselves in readiness the honor
able District Attorney in the at
tempt he will undoubtedly make to
bring the malefactors to time.
THK BOLSHKV1K1 PROGRAM.
While the Bolshevik! arc occupy
ing so much space in the papers
“i tl in discussion it is wt'.l to hear
u word direct from them.
Statement of their position hy
•.Leif' Premier Ltniuo, who resided
for n time in America, follows:
“We, the Bolshevilti, want an im
mediate peace, hut n it a separate
peace. We speak for the mass of
the army, which refuses to remain
another winter in the trenches un
less they are convinced that an im
mediate democratic peace is impos
sible with Germany. But in de
manding an immediate peace we
find it inevitable that Russia act
alone, because we believe that is
the only way to get quick action.
‘If the present government re
fuses to act alone and directly we
must have a government which will
We intend, by every possible means
including millions of proclamations
dropped by aeroplanes, to urge the
German people to* revolt and join
us in demand for peace. The indi
cations, such as the recent revolt
in the German navy, give us hope
icf success. An effort must be made
*0 reach the German people di
rectly.”
“Suppose the Germans fail to re
volt and pay no attention *o your
orders?”
“Then every soldier in tlie Rus
sian army will know he is flghitug
to save the revolution and that he
does not know now. I know the
state of mind of the army. I re
ceive delegations daily and they de
mand that every effort he made for
an immediate peace or they will
leave the trenches. If Germany
refuses they will fight like Hons.
“We must keep our promise by
giving big estates to the peasants
to end the present agrarian revolu
tion. Second, we must £orce loans
from br.nks and the wealthy men
to the limit of fiie'.r resources. Then
we shall have an army knowing
what it is fighting for and provide
with every need. On this program \
we Bolsheviki demand an imme
diate action. We believe it is the
only practical way of saving Russia,
for thought Internationalists we
are also patriots. I don’t want the
American people, with whom I
lived and admire, to think we are
unpatriotic ana sacrifivcing Russia
to an idsa. We want to give the
German people a chance to end the
war immediately, thus ending the
war for everybody.”
DISCUS8IO.V.
“Discussion is the greatest of all
reformers. It rationalizes every
thing it touches. It robs principles
of all false sanctity and throws
them back on their reasonableness.
If they had no reasonablens, it
ruthlessly • crushes them out of ex
istence and sets up its own conclu
sion in their stead.”—Woodrow
Wilson.

“What was it you said to that
man just now?”
“I told him to hurry up.”
“What right have you to tell him
to hurry?’
| "I pay him to hurry."
| “What do you pay him?”
“Four dollars a day.”
“Where do you get the four dol
lars to pay him with?”
“ I sold cut stone.”
"Who cuts the stone ’’
“Ho •does.”
“How much stone does he cut?”
"Well, a man can cut a lot of
stone in a day.”
“How much do you get for the
stone.”
“I get about seven dollars for
what he docs.”
“Then, instead of you paying him
four dollars ho actually pays you
three dollars a day for standing
I around and telling him to hurry
up?”
“Well, but I own the machin
ery.”
“How did you get the machin
ery?”
Sold cut stones and bought it."
“Who cut the stone ?”
“Shut up! You'll make the men
wake up, anc then they’l cut the
rtone for themselves.”
—Operative Mason's Journal.
They never fail who die
In a great cause. The block may
soak their gore;
Thsir heads may sodden in the sun;
their limbs
Be strung to city gates and castle

But still their spirit walks abroad.
Though years elapse and others
share as dark a doom,
They but augment the deep and
sweeping thoughts
Which overpower all others ejjd

“Ikey, is the world flat or
round?”
"It ain’t needed vun, teacher,”

round no? flat?”
“Veil," sail Ikey with conviction, ,
“mine fader he says it vors crook

Persia is the home of a weed the
seed pods of which have long
horns that enter the nostrils of
grazing animals and frequently kill
them by preventing tl.em from eat
ing or drinking.
i The dust that accumulates in a
California Portland cement mill
has been found to be 30 rich in
potash that it is collected and sold
for enough to pay the plant’s run
ning expenses.
Although it costs but six cents
a day in India for men to wave fans
io keep the air circulating in hous
es, they are gradually being re
placed by electric fans as cheaper
and more reliable.
A jeweler is the patentee of an
attachment for watches that are
leaned that stops them at the end
of a week, forcing berrowers to re
turn them and get their own time
pieces, left for repairs.
To prevent out of door drain pi
pes freezing an attachment has been
invented that holds rock salt in
such a position that flowing water
slowly dissolves it, the solution
melting ice that may form.
When the enow is heavy, an Al
aska man puts runners on the
front wheels of his automobile,
heavy chains on the back ones and
encloses the engine with a special
body and runs the machine as well
as in summer.
An English street railway is ex
perimenting with cars that take cur

on rails as far as they are laid,
then complete their journeys over
ordinary roads, using storage bat
