DEBS, TEN YEARS. When the Supreme Court the other dav sustained

th conviction of lSueene V. Debs, found guilty of violat-

nig ine espionage act through statements made 1n

speecn at (.anton, Ohio, last June, it als-o sustained tho constitutionality of the act, which has been loudly de nied by socialists, anarchists and the HoUheviki in our midst. The decision of the highest court in the land will be

respected by the law abiding. Other? must be made to i war

respect it. As for Debs, a disturber and a firebrand for nearly forty j ear?, he could hardly expect to go on forever with out running afoul of justice. He was sentenced to ten years and should serve every day of it. He will unless pardoned. Deb' friends have addressed the White House n--.k-ing for a pardon for" him. We shall be erea'ly inter strd

in watching its course. '

GOODBYE JACK I If there as only some 'way of begging Jack Frosl to kiss us all good bye bow nice it would be. Jack's a nice fellow along about tho time the pumpkins are ripe, but to linger in an unmannerly fashion in Miss Spring's lap is not only uncourteous. but it Js rude The other day Jack was around very boisterous and the 4ar little buds ahiveredln their trundle beds. We who -ateh the birth of all these tender little thinrs must ay these are parlous times. Last night the sun went down about seven and he Is just over the equator, where he is fumbling around to resurrect & few Cowers and trying to get some strawberries to peep out. We are for him and vet. if we were

a sun we wouldn't let Jack Frost come around where " shine- J,JEt ink of the responsibility he carries about with him. There are the spring lamb and peas, the cherry pie and the gentle asparagus, all in the hollow of his hand, and yet he goes around with his old frosts knocking them all. just as if they were nothine

more than Missouri dawgs and he had no more respons- j proclamation stated. -Lovemaking is a perfectly natural ibility than a legislator. We hope he will behave better and normal phenomenon. I should certainly hae to sc from now on. any city la which would interfere with lecitimate love.

Representative Brand at a meeting of th Joint Ways and Means Committee. "That is a slam at the old ladies," retorted Mrs. Alexander Thompson, representative from Hood River. "That isn't what they told me when I was down there. They told me that the old soldiers hang around the young chickens and want to marry them."' As neither representative would recede front their contentions, the proposed measure to admit wive? of old soldiers to the home, when there is room, had to go over. So much for Oregon, but listen to the tale from Riverside, California, a little to the south:

Following the repeal of Riverside's famous antikissing ordinance prohibiting me nand women from kiss

making. Reports reached the mavor's ears that March ! 'renr. ,iiP

Field soldiers had dubbed him a "long hair" and do- i

;iarea mey naa oeen compelled to seek anvisemen: in

Lother cities. So today there is no lid on lovemaking in

Riverside, but the mayor, a former pastor, has let it be known that a frowning eye would be cast upon persons who sought to take advantage of the privilege and toy with the affections of Riverside's fair daughters.

SIBERIAN PRESS CRITICIZES AMERICA. The action of this country in sending troops to Siberia has. according to a Vladivostok dispatch, caused an active campaign of criticism by the Siberian press. It is said that the newspapers there contain many tirades and mis-statements of facts likely to cause discord between the Russians and the American and their allies. Starting with the disappointment experienced because of America's failure to intervene, mistrust and outspoken hostility towards Americans is steadily increasing, and unfortunately there seems to be no effective means of preventing the rapid extension of the propaganda which is causing this unfortunate situation. It appears, however, that the facts in the matter bare been for some time under consideration by the State Department at Washington and instructions have been issued to our commanding officer In Eastern Siberia to avoid carefully any acts which would tend to

,,""aie lue anncmues or the situation. As reeards the Japanese phase of the situation. State Department officials say that the w&r party in Japan, to which at least partial responsibility for the situation has been attributed in reports reaching this country, has been superseded ty the Peace Party and consequently the friction between Japanese and Americans is lessening thus making the situation with reference to Japanese influence in Siberia more hopeful.
