UGE WILLIAM QUINN of Canton, O., seems to have a Member of the Scripps Northwest League of Newspapers Published Dally by The Star Publishing Co Phone Main 9400 Polluted American Patriots HERE isn’t any doubt left that Uncle Sam ought to build that biggest navy himself—in his own ship yards, his own mills, foundries and ammunition factories. When seven of our 12: submarines prove themselves defective dur- ing a week's practice at sea, your Uncle ought to take a tumble to him- Seif that he has been buncoed. It is a good old American custom for various and sundry of our money makers to fatten their pocketbooks at the risk of their country and at the risk of the lives of the defenders of their native land. These polluted patriots did it in our civil war. They did it in the Spanish-American war, God knows how much the greasy skunks have done it between wars. Just now when America is trying to push American commerce around the world—just now when appeals are coming from right and left to brag about our country and its “Made in America” products, we have the following to brag about—as told in a Paris dispatch: “PARIS.—An unfortunate situation hae arisen with regard to granting contracts to en the big ho to deliver goods up ple. Several important American contracts have been canceled, ‘wo important cases in point were the delivery of a monthly consignment of 50,000 pairs of boots below sample—the soldiers tore the boots into strips—and of 200,000 pairs of socks delivered and found to be 30 per cent wool and 70 per cent cotton, while the con tract called for 70 per cent wool and 30 per cent cotton. “Of the 25 of the largest American houses with which the French government is doing business, only one has a record of never failing below sample.” CAN YOU BEAT IT? * Next! a He next news from Europe, in all probability, will be that Rumania has gone the way of Italy and joined the allies in the war. The reigning house in Rumania is of the German Hohenzollerns. But Rumania’s people have of late years shown a positive inclination for things Russian, and this, coupled with the opportunity offered to gratify national ambitions, may prove too strong for the royal family’s efforts to- ward neutrality. And little Rumania is not to be held lightly. It has an army of ef- ficient, seasoned men, ready for the field—mostly veterans—of approxi- mately one million men. They are well armed in all the branches of service. Their rifles and big guns are of the latest German models. They know the passes through the Transylvania Alps and the Carpathians, which form the boundary of Austria, as they know their back yards. Rumania’s entry in the war, in the event she invaded Austria, would be more dangerous to the dual monarchy than even that of Italy, for the Austro-Rumania border is not nearly so well fortified. Rumania’s army, joining Russia’s on the north and Serbia’s on the est, would encircle Austria-Hungary on two sides with a ring of steel, and isolate the Turks. * * * * 7 * * . MRS.

Becker did not himself commit murder; technically he took no man’s life. The man who was assassinated by Becker's hirelings could not himself “e classed us an entireiy innocent victim. Becker has power- ful and influential friends who have waged the fight for his life. Not- withstanding all this, the people have not raised a voice in his behalf, for his guilt was clearly and fairly established and his crime under the law is punishable by death. On the other hand, Leo Frank was charged with a particularly hein- ous offense, one for which no punishment is sufficiently severe. Frank had no wealthy friends to carry on his defense; no money has been spent in stirring up popular feeling, as in the Becker case. Yet, from north to - south and east to west, a plea has arisen that his life be spared. Why? Because he did not get a square deal. _* + * + © 66 ¢ 99 4 Humanizing” Justice judicial temperament that is homeopathic. He has started out to “humanize” justice, which, in these times is some job, and he believes in making vio- lators taste the real effects of their acts. A Cantonian loaded up with absinthe and laid down on the railroad track to die. Judge Quinn made him lie for 24 hours with the dead, in a morgue, so he could see what keeping that sort of company was like. é Another man worked four days per week and always was drunk the other two working days. Judge Quinn made him stay in jail two days per week regularly. Y Other men with bibulous habits were compelled to assign their wages to their wives and some of them to pass the time in jail that they were in the habit of passing in saloons. ; The judge’s “humanizing” is said to work fine. Anyhow, it’s better than fining the sinners and thus adding to the misery of their innocent dependents. + -_* * * * *_ * : GERMANY HAS invented straw flour.
