Has Gill the Right Idea?
II AS Ray Gill, master of the state grange, got the right ideat
Are the members of this organization a lot of easy marks,
whose votes can be delivered by their "master" in any direction
he chooses, provided he passes out his time-honored hooey, about
Wall Street, and the big interests f
We wonder. No doubt the result of the sales tax referendum
will answer that question for the present at least. If the mem
bers of the state grange vote as a body against this sales tax for
the benefit of the public schools, then no one can deny the master
of the state grange is right.
For in his first official letter to the leaders of the various
granges, he plainly shows that in his opinion, all you have to do
to grab the grange vote is to wave the red flag of "Wall
Street," talk about the moneyed interests, arouse class fear and
prejudice, and all the grangers will flock to the polls and mark
their ballots on the dotted line.
fX this official communication Mr. Gill declares "Big Business
stormed the capital" to put over this iniquitous sales tax
measure, which is only "the entering wedge and once establish
ed will be added to from year

Undoubtedly Mr. Gill is convinced the grangers will accept
that statement as true, swallow it bait, hook, line and sinker,
without analyzing it or asking

was founded.

it became more and more obvious, that if the schools WERE to
be kept open, some sort of sales tax HAD to be passed. So the
members of the legislature passed the best one they could de
vise.
An action with less regard for what Mr. Gill calls "big busi
ness" and more regard for the
of this state, was never passed

Mr. Gill neglects to state the sales tax expires automatically
in two years. It was- only passed to meet an emergency, all
thnt the advocates of it ask, is that the people give it a TRIAL
during that limited time. Even if it comes up to their expecta

'T'llE old "Wall Street wheeze, in the bright lexicon of practical
politics, is sure fire. Just tack it onto any issue, or any

for it, and vote as you tell them to.
It has always worked in the past. Ray GUI, master of the
state grange is certain it will work again.
True the sales tax has been a success in other states. True,
also it will keep open the publio schools and reduce the property

IN WINTER EVERY
Moat people know little about the
heat regulating mechanism of the
body, and the fussbudgets who evince
the greatest
a anxiety about
wearing suffic
ient clothing to
"protect" the
body know the
least about how
we keep warm or
cool. Being igno
rant about this
physiology people
are naturally
credulous In re
ap e c t to the
imaginary dan
gers of "exposure" to trifling cold.
In fact the uneducated masses are
as stupid about this as they are in
the matter of "regulating the bowel."
As soon as winter settles In. the
war between the cranks and the fuss
budgets flares up again. The cranks
want fresh air. The fussbudgets want
to keep coddled. A compromise is
the only possible end the two sides
can hope for, and this they reach
along toward the first of April, when
each side begins to prepare for re
opening hostilities next fall.
You see, It takes all kinds of peo
ple to make a world. . If we could
give the time to tt we might persuade
the people that a rigid enforcement
of Oslerlsm at age sixty (with some
modern succedaneum for chloroform)
Is preferable to any state legalization
of eugenic limitation of offspring.
With all the old folks thus put out
of their misery we young people could
set to and have a merry time of it.
In such a world there would be no
wrangling over the elementary prob
lems of household or office heating,
ventilation, amount or kind of cloth
ing required In various seasons or
changes of weather, or Influence of
dampness on health.
Young persons with their high
metabolism or rate of Internal com
bustion find moderate external
warmth sufficient for comfort. Older
persons, ' with low metabolism or
slower oxidation process, require more
external warmth for comfort. So
there you have the bone of conten
tion, and aa long as we permit old
people to live we shall have this
everlasting wrangling between the
two classes aa sure as winter comes.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HAVANA, four hours ahead In
time of the Paclflo Coast, starts
the day's news off bright and early
orf Monday morning with this:
"This city counted six dead and 13
wounded, today In Cuba's latest
bloodshed and disorders."
CUBA, one of the most "beautiful
spot on earth, .has been for 400
years one of tbe moat turbulent.
Odd. Isn't It?
Still, there are men who wlU tell
you that the most beautiful women
are the hardest to get along with.
THE shooting In Havana broke out
on Sunday afternoon with the
sacking and burning of the Spanish
newspaper. El Pals, which was at
tacked by a mob of negroes who re
garded It as unfriendly to the gov
ernment. Only one large dally newspaper
now .remains In Havana El Dalrlo,
which Is published under threats
from both government and opposi
tion forces.
N
OTE, however, that tola newspa-
partisan of EITHER SIDE, and In
consequence Is looked upon with a
certain amount of fear by both sides,
Is STILL PUBLISHED. ,
. There is a grain of hope In that.
Truly Independent newspapers, al
lied with no party or faction, telling
the news accurately and fearlessly,
are the real foundation of demo
cratic government.
IN CUBA, somewhere from five to
ten per cent or1 the population Is
enlightened, comfortable and happy.
The other 90 to 05 per cent la lg- j
norant, oppressed and miserable. j
So, perhaps, It la no wonder civil
war has been going on for some four ;
centuries. Discontent is the great j
breeder of civil war, and a condition 1
where one-tenth of the 'population
Is happy and opulent and the other
nine-tenths unhappy and poverty-
stricken la a great breeder of dis
content.
W1
ITH Christmas only a week
away, the news la running
to war and preparations for war. A
London dispatch aays:
Great Britain, fearing that a sud
den war would find her almost de
fenseless, Is preparing to mobilize an
air fleet of TWICE the present
strength." I
That hasn't much sound of peace j
on earth and good will to men, has
it?
!
THE dispatch continues:
"Only a laat minute agreement
among the chief powers to dlssrm
down to her level which no one
seems to expect will deter this coun
try (England) from embarking on
the greatest air re-armament pro
gram aince t,he world war."
And so It goes.
A THOUGHTFUL woman, watch
ing a newsreel of the fighting
in Cuba the other day, remarked:
Will the time ever come when
men will stop fighting?"
Probably not. And If It ahould the
men of that time would probably
not be a particularly admirable lot.
We do a lot of talking about the
uselessness and absurdity of fight
ing, and at the same time we have
not much use for a man who WONT
FIGHT.

Quarterly inspection and muster
will be held at the Armory next Tues
day night. As this Is the last drill
of the year every member will be ex-
pected to be present, and while It Is
real teed that the day after Christmas ;
Is a poor time to expect anyone to ,
drill very hard, especially after a fill
of turkey and trimmings, still Uncle
Sam saya "It must be done." !
One of the most pleasing parties
ever held by local units of the guard
waa the roller skating party last
Tuesday night, when members of
both companies and their ladles "took
to skates" and thoroughly enjoyed
the entire evening of skating.
Five more recruits are needed to
fill up the ranks of Company A. With
drill pay, athletics, club room facili
ties, and a trip to the seashore each
year, all at government expense, this
quota should be secured easily. Ap
plicants desiring to enlist are urged
to get In touch with Captain Carl Y.
