THEODORE ANTICIPATES THEODORE.
There is an impression over this glorious realm that Theo
dore Burton, of Ohio, lias put one over on Theodore Roosevelt,
of New York, and that the “putting over” operation was done
neatly and expeditiously.
The two Theodores—Burton and Roosevelt—long ago
parted company politically. The question .of- national defence
was the rock on which they split. Senator Burton for many
vears has been one of the foremost advocates of peace and dis
armament and his work in connection with the Carnegie foun
dation for peace attracted attention not only in America, but
in other countries.
The other Theodore—Theodore Roosevelt—never has
cared particularly about peace. On the whole war suits him
just as well, and if the people of some other country reach a
state of mind where they are spoiling for a scrap he would like
to accommodate them.
It is known that Col. Roosevelt has been strongly set
against Burton as a presidential candidate.
“ Burton will never do; lie's too much of a mollycoddle on the
peace question,” the colonel is quoted as saying
It is known that the colonel at the opportune time intend
ed to take a hand to prevent the nomination of Burton, and
that his basis of attack would have been Burton’s views in
opposition, as the colonel saw it, to adequate national defence.
11c was getting ready to pillory Senator Burton as a sort ot
Cliinafied statesman, and to show that the American people
want tin* other kind of a leader—one who will strike out right
from the shoulder.
And then, presto! Something happened. Senator Burtor
slipped one across. He came out in an authorized statemeni
for national preparedness. lie declared that the opinions am
man had held prior to the European war ought not to b«
charged against him now, as conditions had changed entirely
He was now in favor of a strong army and navy. He believer
the United States ought to be able to put up a “front”—tha
was the word he used—in order to keep other nations of <
bullying disposition from tramping on Uncle Sam’s corns.
The statement which Colonel Roosevelt was expected tr
issue for the purpose of blowing Senator Burton out of tin
water is now a back number. It has no more relevancy to pres
ent and future conditions than an almanac of the vintage o
1H70. Burton always has been morethan half-way acceptablr
to Progressives, and now tin* colonel has lost his last chance t<
put him in tin* “in-bad” class with that element.

THE DESPICABLE SPY.
Speaking, or rather thinking of wars—and we have plant}
of that now—leads the mind towards their results as well a:
their atrocities; the suffering they impose upon innocents; tin
murders and destruction of property and all that, and reveal:
the hideousness of human actions that from childhood nature
has taught us to abhor, portraying a most despicable picture tf
contemplate and give us nightmares, which should be ba<
enough seemingly. Unfortunately, however, it does not one
there, and we proceed to face the spy who appears as harmless
as a new born baby, but who in reality is the most despieabh
rattle snake under a human skin.
The rattle snake as dangerous as it may he to human be
ings, in its natural form, and while it may strike from ambush
given half a chance, it will give warnings- Not so with the spy
The spy will cunningly work his way into your confidence, ac
cept gracefully your hospitality, your protection and friend
ship and in his black heart lies the venom of betrayal ready t<
lead you to slaughter. And just think, governments of civilized
nations encourage him. Now, why should be wonder that pri
vate “gumshoe” organizations exist.—Ketchikan Progressive
•-:o:
GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF SKIRTS.
Germany is to control women’s skirts. This year the
kaiser has ruled they must be tight, to aid the cause of econo
my- Simple. Less skirt, less waste. ((The spelling is correct,
and we have no desire to pun with a serious matter.)
If Germany will do that as a war measure, what a blessing
it might bring on a land nominally supposed to be at peace,
The cartoonist, when he essayed to pleasantries with the fash
ions, would have to attack his government—a traitorous act.
Every time the English sink a cotton ship the kaiser will
cut out another slit. In these United States the progressive
fashion makers must not he behind'. And no matter how many
cotton ships are sunk, the German warriors must stay at the
front, though furloughs would increase in popularity.
If our government adopted the fashion law, the silver
tongued orator would give way to the “jitney veil” propon
ent; the men’s vote would be solid against hooks in the hack
and those high lace shoes with rear lines of division; the hip
stick wielder would be compelled to make way for the split
skirter, and the grape juice booster must yield to the three
plates clique. And if men can horn in on the fashions what
will they do with the wrist watch?
