Colonel Joab, of Seattle is so patriotic that not long ago
he caused the arrest of a young man for an alleged libel
of George Washington. The jury trying the offender
found him guilty. One would think that with this ex
ample before him the doughty colonel would have used at
least common discretion in speaking of the present pres
ident. However, according to the news dispatches he
made a bitter verbal attack on President Wilson a few

When Col. Joab gave vent to his feelings about Wilson.,
the old man expressed his opinion about the Colonel, by
landing on the Colonel's nose with an indignant fist to
such purpose that the Colonel was forced to wear it in a
sling, so to speak, for several days. "It makes a great
deal of difference with some people as to who does the
talking."
Spain will in all probability be the next to turn against
the Prussian system. She has demanded an explanation
of the sinking of one of her ships ; reparation for it, and
a guarantee that hereafter her ships will not be attacked
by submarines. Unless she is much more powerful than
the United States, or has more "pull,'' she will not get
the guaranty asked. Prussian ruthlessness that spares
nothing will make no exception in favor of Spain. So it is
up to the Dons to either take it back and say they never
said it, or join the balance of the civilized world in remov
ing the world menace.
Just when General Pershing and his division of about
40,000 men will sail, or how or where from is not known
and probably will be kept secret until the army is in
France. It is the part of wisdom not to let the undersea
boats know of the troops' movements, until after they are
made.
Whether there are any figures to back up this belief is not
Known, Dtit it is a iact that the rule worked this year It
did not rain much yesterday, but enough to make the
record good. One other Sunday had put a sprinkle, but it
rained on each and all of them. Let us hope it will not
start after a record, but let it go as it is with "seven wet."
, Tfte 1C(r?fe!1si(!n of Rien at Hillsboro Saturday that
he killed Booth, if true, gives another hard jolt to circum
stantial evidence. It was this kind of evidence entirely
on which Booth's wife and William Branson were con
viced and sent to prison. Riggen's story is being probed,
and as far as followed seems to be correct. Should inves
tigation corroborate his story, it will open the prison
doors to those now serving time for the crime
Apparently the number of victims of the undersea
boats is decreasing France reports that while some 950
vessels entered her ports and nearly the same number de
parted, there were but six torpedoed. This would make
the loss of all vessels making the round trip, about one
third of one per cent. The loss of one ship out of P.00 can
be borne without much worrying.

Tom was late in getting home, and
seemed disinclined to talk. I started
to tell him of Everett Crandell'g call,
then thought I would wait until morn

then.
"There's a man at the door ma'am,
says as show he wants to sco you,"
Norah told me as soon as I wag dress
ed the next morning; Tom was -still in
the bath.
"I'll bo right down," I told her,
vondering who it could possibly be at
such an hour.
It was the grocery man from lip in

Then I had told him tin truths about

than anything else.
"Be sure you pay it then," and there
was a something very like a threat in
the man's voice.
Just as Before.
