I MISSED getting my hair cut this morning on account of the scrap collection. When I climbed into the barber chair, Ray says to me: “Sorry, Joe. ain’t got time for you today. We’re closing up this morning at ten.” And then I remembered. This Because from where I sit, that’s what we’re fighting for—the right; 1 to work together—of our own ac- I cord. To do the job because we want to, not because somebody tells us to. And when the job’s done, to relax as we see fit. And the Judge agreed. He point- ed out that one of the things that helps folks get together is just what we were doin’ now. Q! And you ought to see the result piled up in front of the fire house.

The fact that only one—third of the voters of the state and Mason County voted in the primary elections brings. the threat of minority representation for the general elec- tion unless the people stir out of their hibernation and take note of the dangers ahead to vote, and that intelligently. If they are critical of what is going on in Congress and in the administration of affairs which touch their personal lives in both national and state legislation, perhaps some changes here and there would check some of the abuses and wastes and chart some change for better in the war effort. The voters have all received a little booklet which ex- plains the several issues to be voted on pertaining to state affairs, and the least they can do is to read and save this review, as well as study the effects further in order to vote intelligently on laws which concern every citizen personally The socalled forty—mill, passed several times, should bcl voted so strongly that no future legislature will dare to dodge the issue again; it means the holding down of state: J.

One cannot view the war effort and its huge spending far beyond present resources of the nation without won- dering why the people are so apathetic and neglectful of their voting duty as well as their civic duties in all the home affairs which are part of all-out effort to win the war 1 sooner and save good American lives. After two months of dry weather the first fall rains have come to cheer the logger, the hunter and the fisher- man—-to clear the worst fire danger, and avert the threat of closing the woods for the hunting season. FORTY FRONTS How the world is widening for Americans! Now it is the Gold Coast, on the western shores of Africa, according to an announcement from London, which is seeing our avi- ators. This brings to 40 the total of American army and navy bases outside the continental United States. These range from Iceland to East and West Africa, from Ireland to New Guinea and from the Aleutian islands to New.Zea- There is a great deal of talk at present about opening up a “second front.” Americans are now fighting on. nearly all these 40 fronts. Perhaps the trouble with our war effort at the present time lies in the fact that our high command has divided our forces to cover all these fronts, so that we h over our enemies in any one spot. This is keeping us on the defensive. Americans used to be accused of provincialism. Our own- territory was so large that we had some reason for not interesting ourselves greatly in the world outside. Those days are over. With boys from millions of American ‘homes scattered over 40 fronts, there is now no part of ithe world which does not concern the United States—Ta- ‘coma News-Tribune. SLOW DOWN, YOU SINNERS. In the interest of preserving tires and saving gas the speed limit on driving the nation over has been reduced to 35 miles an hour, Governor Langlie having so ordered in this state with instruction to the highway patrol to watch traffic closely and arrest all violators. After all, the ma- jority of drivers have already slowed down their pace and it is discouraging as well as dangerous to have the speed- ers rolling by; these violators will be checked up and may lose their licenses as well as the privilege of buying new .tires or retreads, if and when there are any for the public. If everybody slows down to uniform speed, and there are no exceptions, there should be fewer accidents on the roads. I HONESTY IN POLITICS Campaign days are here again and the political pot is boiling. But your average candidate shies from the appel- 3tion of “politician.” Why, After all, what’s so bad about that? Every candidate who regards his mission seriously, I iin helpfulness of purpose, is in reality an honest politician. lIf we had no politics we would have no political initiative, no volunteers for public service, nobody to assume the 3' leadership of public life. The real trouble with the average American who is too busy to worry about the practical de- and his wonder why bet- lter men are not elected. The candidate who feels the hon- , lest urge to serve is a worth-while, public-spirited citizen. And it is up to the voters to measure his merits and see if he fits into the office.———Bremert0n Searchlight. JUVENILE INFLATION flation that is resulting from the distorted economic condi- tions produced by the war. No, we are not referring to' the inflation of our greenbacks, which aren’t buying as much dry goods and grub as they did in the Depression Thirties. We’re talking about the inflation of the ideas of- our 'high school youngsters, who are getting summer jobs inow with bigger pay than their grandpas earned after a lifetime of hard work.
