One Year $2.00 Six Months ...$1.00' Three Months " TUKSDAY, JANUARY 14. 1919 NORWAY WOULD PROTECT SLACKERS 'Tp HE government of Norway lias filed a protest with the State Department over a bill introduced by Sena tor Jones of Washington, which provides for the deporta tion of all aliens who cancelled their naturalization papers in order to escape military duty. In this western country thousands of ioreigners sought the protection of the ship yards and lumber camps in order to evade the draft and many of them even went so far as to cancel their applica tions for citizenship and then openly boasted that the government could not get them. Norway, at best with her pro-German record has little room to protest any action of this government in its efforts to clean up the citizenship of the country and when she tries to protect these slackers her protest should go un heeded. Draft boards from all parts of the-country have asked for the passage of this law. It is the only punish ment possible for this style of slacker and the law should be passed in order to rid the country of them. Men who regard so lightly their oaths of citizenship are not worthy of the protection of this government. They have been allowed to remain here during the war work ing for wages that are unheard of in their own country vvhile our boys have been inducted into the army. Now that the war is over these fellows should be shipped back to the country they came from and their places filled with discharged soldiers. America wants nothing of them and if Norway feels that she must protect them let her have them. Their presence here is obnoxious and insulting to decent Americanism. PEACE THE ONE BEST BET X7' K start the New Year right; the kings have ceased to fight; and some are bannned, and some are can-1 ned; they've said a last "good night!" We've seen what war can do; its worse than was the flu; and rows that make nations quake are bad for people, too. All fights are bad and vile; no quarrel, s worth your while; so if some chap demands a scrap, just answer with a smile. You're bad as Kiaser Bill, if you display the will to break Ihe peace and give release to wrath already still. Why throw sarcastic flings at captains and at kings, if you're the 'hap that hunts a scrap, and stirs up grief, lv brigs? Ue .ev ear . t ait vi t Willi ) I .1 1 III. 1 ue lie; l.eep 1 .

The railroad managers urge that the roads he turned hack to their for mer owners at once, hut whether they urge this because they believe it would be lo the advantage of the people or of the owners of the railroads they do not state, but the majority of the people will guess that it is the latter they have in mind. The real question is which would be the better for the people? None will sa that the owners claim should have hrs; consideration, and if they prefer not to sell they should in l lie forced. Hut we think that we can show that this is a mistaken iew ; that the interests of the pub lic should have first consideration. Here is the illustra tion: The bridges out the riu-rs at Pittsburgh were erected by private corporations and managed by them lor many cat s. They paid, dividends to the stockholders and they resented the pi. m lor Allegheny county to buy llieiu and make tin tn nee to the people. Nevertheless, the movement to buy them tor the people prevailed and they were purchased ami made tree to the people; thus prov mg that m (lie opinion ot the courts the right? and de- sies ol the people were paramount. Now we understand very well that it the government were to purchase the railroads and run them in the inter est ol the people, as the postollice department is run. the service which they would render would be paid for as it is under piiv.ite ownership, the point that we aie now estab lishing is that the tact that the owners do not wish to sel the toads does nd settle the question ot government own el ship oi the i ait o.uU. 1 1 the people desire to purchase the roads thru its government they can rightly do so having them appraised and paving the prices fixed by th appi aisei s. ,vt pn sent I lie sentiment in congress appears to !c t. otable to 1 1 1 in n in the t.nlioads to ptivate ownetshn and this will pioh.ihU be done. However, this is ccit.un in that event to follow: The control ol the gouinimnt over Ihe I .tin o.oU w ol In- inm e complete than il h.is U e The manage! s of the l oads m 1 1 u n tavor this, ;,!ul thos in Congress who stand i.r the lights oi the people vvi',1 (K nun.

There are no indications that this would ever have come, had it not been forced by the government. Yet when it comes to efficiency the managers of the railroads were claimed to be the last word. What is likely to happen is the turning back of the roads to their fomer owners, and later a successful move ment for their purchase by the government. The tendency of the world is in that direction; and when the day comes this country, on this one question will be abreast of the oiner ieaumir nations ot tne world, hut not in aim A.Mr, of it. That is something to bear in mind.
