WITHOUT .lcsiiv tu sliino as a prophet, tin; Mail Trib une will venture! the predict ion that the "small hand of sincere pacifists who, iu the midst of war, place their devotion to pence ahove all else," will wear the same kind of halos with posterity that adorn their predecessors, the 'Tories of the revolutionary war and the copperheads of the civil war. 'Those sohhers and slobhers of sickly sentimentality, who fondly imagine that hy doing their mite to impede the progress of their country in its struggle for existence find rendering aid and comfort to the enemy, that they are "in advance of the times," and martyrs suffering in a world unprepared for their ideal," might as well wake up to the truth, that they will live as the unpatriotic always live in history forgotten as individuals and rescued from obliv ion only as a class shunned. The sissy pacifist is not the creator of a new ideal or even of a new idea. His counterpart hits existed since the dawn of recorded history. There have always heen the anaemic few who preached the abject surrender of all that was worth while rather than fight. There have always been advocates of compromise who purchased security by capitulation. The temporizers and pnjerastinators have been with us always and always will be, as well as trait ors but they are not among the beacon lights of history. Pacifists who dream of ranking iu song and story with the prophets of regeneration have another guess coming, hi the broad view of history they will be regarded merely as part and parcel of the German propaganda whose efforts were utilized to aid autocracy in its final struggle against democracy conscious tools or unconscious dupes of an expiring feudalism in its death grapple with mod ernism. A La Kollrtle expelled from the senate for sedition and disloyalty might get consolation by picturing himself a Christ crucified in a holy cause but no one else would suffer the hallucination. Pacifists in prison for treason doubtless comfort themselves with similar delusions con cerning their own martyrdom by an uncouth and unciv ilized world, but in the perspective of history they will occupy the insignificant space allotted to abortive plotters and seditious cranks.

Kaiser Wllholm himself has contributed Uncle Sams' greatest aid In trans porting armies to France. Thanks to the kaiser's orders to the German shipping companies, Uncle Sam has today one ship which can transport half a division, or over 10,000 men, with all their equipment The ship was designed primarily for that purpose. Tho Klant Vaterland, outwardly a floating passenger pal ace, when stripped of her ornaments. Is the world's greatest troop trans port. As if the submarine were foreseen the Vaterland Is etpilpped to with stand submarine attack, better than any Bhip afloat. Gun platforms for a whole flock of rapid firers were cunningly built Into her. Her speed enables her to run away. Thru a system of watertight compartments she Is practically tinsinkable. If struck squarely by two or three tor pedoes she would remain afloat. As Uncle Sam's engineers have pro ceeiled to remodel tho Vaterland since the American falg was hoisted over hor, they have been running Into Kiirpriso after surprise. They have found their work already done for the most part. Tho suitability of the Vaterland for transport purposes have heightened the suspicion that she was built es pecially to carry a little army for a surprise attack on a distant coast the United States or Brazil, In all probability if things had gone as tho kaiser planned and our turn had como. Tho hlghost military experts in Germany ware consulted In the build lug of the Vaterland. And now their pet weapon Is turned against them selves. The Vaterland can cross the At- Inntlcs in less than a week. She could take 20,000 men per month to Europe. 1 Tho troops sailing; on the Vater land can drill every day. On her giant aftcr-deck a whole regiment can deploy. No troops have ever sailed the seas In the solid comfort enjoyed by tho hoys who go "over there" in tho Vaterland. Thank you; Bill!

Canon ruled favor ably to tho plaintiff In the contest case of James T. Logan vs. Km II Kroll, which was heard In this city during several days lust .lime. Tho decision of tho local officials Is to the effect that tho claims ad vanced by tho Logan mining Inter ests arc entirely warranted, accord ing to tho testimony and the evi dence submitted und that Mr. Kroll, who had homostcaded tho property In dispute, will havo to vacate In favor of the former. Mr. Logan, who was here during tho trial as well as a dozen or more men from tho Wal do mining district In Curry county, where the huul Is located, contended that I ho land was a part of a series of claims, whoso mineral value was well known and tho homostcaded land had onco been prospected and contained (uy dirt tn tho estimation of all mining men. Mr. Kroll denied that the land was suitable for min ing and held that Us chief value was for agricultural pursuits. Several ex pert mining men wero hero nt the time nud oifered testimony on both ides. UoseMirs Ue'lew. 45 OUI OF 166 I.W.W. CHEFS JAILED CIIICACO.

WASHIN'tiTOX, Oct. 1. Presi dent Wilson und Postmaster General Itttrleson now have under considera tion n iiiuil censorship plan whose object will bo to eliminate chances of iiifm-miition being slipped out of this country to Germany und her allies. I'ncle Sam is the .only belligerent in the world who exercises absolute ly no censorship on mail mutter. There is n censorship on cables. The only order on mail up to date bus been one forbidding the attempt ed mailing of matter to Germany and her allies. Aside from that, we have been relying upon the vigilanco of our nllies. This lias worked very well up to a certain point. But it lias not closed all the chances for a Jcnk. The greatt'st censorship bureau in the world is the British. Not only havo vast stores of useful informa tion been obtained by censoring let ters, but immense numbers of tips to Germany have thereby been killed. Practically all mail from this country to Ihe six neutrals of l-Jit-rope is censored by the British and Krencli. Mail for Asia is censored by the British anil Japanese. The British anil French censor all mail for Africa. But there nre ships thai ply direct ly between Havana and Spain and between South American ports and Spain. Tlie chances for a leak inlo Germnnv via Spain are therefore many. (" Obviously the job for Uncle Jsatn is to exercise a Rorutiuy of all mail go ing to Culm und the South American continent. Cuba will readily help us, luiving come into t lie war because we fume in. The South American matter will have to be bandied in a different way if it is lo be effective. Tt will mean a real consulship on all mail mutter for those countries. The censorship will have lo be ex ercised here at homo, because we can't expect neutral countries in South America to do the job for us. PRINCESS OF REDS NKW YORK, Oct. 1.

"(froth lent fcy time) Mount Vernon, the home of Wash ington, owes much of its charm to the softening, mellowing influence of Father Time. The OWL and other mellow Cigars owe much of their fragrance to the same mellowing influence of time. In fact, careful time-curing of selected tobaccos is the big secret behind OWL Cigar fragrance. And to guarantee every OWL a fragrant OWL requires that a reserve supply of leaf worth $1,000,000 or more be constantly curing. For no leaf must go into the OWL Cigar until OWL curing experts have pro nounced it "ready" in OWL mellow fragrance. And it takes Mother Nature and Father Time long months to get OWL leaf to this "ready-point."
