thfe . war office here today. Attacks

A DAY IN CUSTOMS AS
RESULT OF BLOCKADE
(Continued From Page One.)
The -cottoni trade with Germany and
Austria. which suffered seriously
wjhen the war first-started, was Just
getting well started again : when the
British blockade was announced. The
latest move, if carried out, will check
it completely.
1 J President Wilson is devoting almost
al of bis attention to the blockade and
the international questions growing
eat of it. The attempt of Great Brit
ain to Justify her action, and her re
Attest that the Untied States regard the
blockade as a parallel in the action of
tlje north during the American Civil
War, will be ignored by the administra
tijon. The United States will tell Eng
'land and her allies that this country
does not and cannot recognize the right
of any belligerent to establish a block
ade on the high seas.
Senator Walsh, an expert on inter
actional law, was outspoken in his
, discussion of the order. . He did not
bjelieve that the administration should
mince words in voicing its protest
against a policy which, he declared,
was contrary to all international law
and precedent.
It is expected that trie text of the
Ejritlsh reply to the note of inquiry
from the United States asking how
the allies proposed to carry out the
proposed blockade, will be made pub
lic this afternoon.

Work, When. You
Get Out in World
Again; Is Advice
"Boys, when' you get out in
the world again, my advice is
that you try to make a living
by work rather than try to get
something for nothing. And
remember, there is always a
chance of the land."
That is what C. L. Smith,
agriculturalist of the O-W. R.
& N. will tell the prisoners at
the government penitentiary at
McNeil island. Wash., April 2.
The meeting there will be the
last but one of a two weeks'
Agricultural campaign which
Mr. Smith will conduct along
the line of the O-W. R. & N.
from Centralia to Olympia. The
first meeting will be at Cen-
tralia tomorrow. 1
"More corn, more hogs, more
cows, more dollars" is the slo-
gan of the campaign, and will
be the keynote of Mr. Smith's
addresses.
The country bween Cen-
tralia ' and Olympia has much
logged-off land, and Mr. Smith
will tell the requirements for
success on such lands.

SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT
Organ that How Declaims Against
Washington Decision Quoted ConJ
trary in Previous Case.
Portland, March 15. To the Editor
of The Journal The Washington su
preme court has been taken to task by
a local paper for deciding invalid the
emergency clause tacked .onto an qiet
of the Washington legislature reor
ganizing the state land board by tak
ing off the Democratic governor and
adding the secretary of state and he
state treasurer, who are Republicahs.
The emergency clause was provided
in the system of direct legislation, to
enable, the legislature to put, into im
mediate effect any act made necessary
to protect the "public peace, health
and safety. An epidemic, a sudden
invasion or a riot, would afford occa
sion (or the use of this emergency
clause. It was, or course, to be a
real emergency, not a constructive oine.
Invented, for use in an exigency like
which of two Toms, should collect the
taxes, or whether civil service should
be abrogated for the benefit of a new
governor's friends, or whether a state
land board should be selected from One
gang or another. .
But this newspaper publicist .sol
emnly asserts the Washington decision
to be 'a subversion of our form of gov.
ernment an impious usurpation of the
legislative function by the court.
"The- Justification of the emergency
clause is not a question of law, but of
fact," "argues this apostle 'of rectitude.
When did a determination of fact

But their have riot the power to re-j

trol of the majority, or-tyranny over
a minority, or any at all, for that
matter, we would better have none of
it, and try to get along i with spon
taneous or chimney cornetf law. The
law. to retain its majesty, must be
free, at least to some extent, from the
foolish meddling of those incapable of
conceiving, a thought, unsullied , by the
dirt of self, or o& recognizing Ian au
thority free from such base use.-. It
should be an instrument to defeat the
falsehoods of conspirators,! and not to
establish them. J. B. - ZIEGLER.

Real Tobacco Chew, gives
you the tobacco comfort you
are entitled to.
Satisfies you better than any of the old
kind. Richer, finer flavor. Lasts longer.
Pure, rich, sappy tobacco seasoned
and sweetened just enough.
Take s very small chew less than one-quarter the
old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful
of ordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find
the strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away."
Then let it rest. See how easilv and evenlv tha real
tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without grinding, how
much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to
be tobacco satisfied. That's why it is The Real Tobacco
Chew. That's why it costs less in the end.
It U s remdy chew, cut fins and short shred so that yon won't hive
to (rind on it with your teeth. Grinding' on ordinary candied tobaee
makes you spit too much.
