He does not want to fight Mexico, neither is it desirable to retire to the over crowded district referred to. A PROPHET WITHOUT KOHOR Ex-Senator George Turner, of Seattle, Washington, scattered a few phony pearls of wisdom re cently, while on a visit to the National Capital. He prophesied a billion-bushel wheat crop and two dollars a bushel for wheat this year if the war in Europe continues. “ If the war continues” said Mr. Turner, “ I believe the country will demand the re-elec tion of the President; if it should end this fall, the prosperity that is at hand will insure Democratic victory next year beyond a doubt.” Apparently there is no escape.

A statement in the Itemizer from C. R. Canfield, one of the prime movers in the recall, does not indi cate that he is much “skeered” of the grand jury. As we are not furnishing munitions of war nor shipping contraband to either par ty we strictly "neutral” and free to “ harpoon” either side as we deem proper.
