ry Member of the Serippe Northwest Lengus of Newspapers Published Daily by The Star Publishing Oo Thome Main 400 PLEASE ANSWER THIS ONE HEN a railroad company takes an employe to Strict accountability for the use of liquor, there is general approval. Not only railroad com- ee. but nearly every big corporation and many usiness firms and manufacturing plants of smaller size, have adopted the same attitude toward the booze fighter. They don’t want him, He is less efficient and in some lines of work he is positively dangerous. Yet some people, who endorse temperance in private business, are now, for political reasons, seek- ing to condone a chief of police who makes a pub- lic disgrace of himself in a leading booze emporium of this city. But let’s go a step farther. Some of Lang’s defenders say he had a right to be in the café. Very well. BUT WHAT RIGHT DID HE HAVE IN A GIRL'’S ROOM IN A DOWNTOWN HOTEL AT 2.O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING? WHY NOT ALITTLE ACTION? HAT’S the matter with the public service com- mission? Why all the delay in issuing the order fixing the minimum rate for gas in Seattle at 25 cents? The hearing on this matter came up weeks ago, and it was the Seattle gas company itself that agreed to the 25-cent rate. Had the company been honorable in its meth- ods, the 25-cent rate Instead of the 50-cent mini- mum, would now be in force. But the gas company backed out of its own agreement. It still is collecting the 50-cent rate, and will continue to do so until the public service commission, by a formal order, prevents it. There ought to be no hesitancy in issuing that formal order. It should have been issued two months ago, when it was discovered that the com- pany did not intend to live up to its promise. The company is daily collecting money from the people of this city to which it is not entitled. REPRISALS CERTAIN HETHER or not there is anything to the so- called plot*for an uprising of Mexicans for the purpose of invading Texas and releasing Huerta from durance vile in Fort Bliss, there is evidence in plenty to show that the brigands across the Mexi- can line are growing bolder, day by day, in their Outlawry. Never before in the history of this coun- try, in time of peace, have the raids into Texas, New Mexico and Arizona been so frequent, and so open, as at present. If they continue—and they show no indica- tions of cessation—sooner or later there will be reprisals, Surely the people of the border states are not going to be satisfied with a purely defensive, or to be more precise, protective, policy on the part of the federal authorities. Open armed conflict with the republic of Mexico will result more quick- ly, and certainly, from these persistent acts of brigandage than thru a dozen of its internal revolu- tions. The self-constituted rulers of Mexico ought to know that*the present state of affairs is intolerable and that if they cannot bring the culprits to task and stop these depredations, Americans can and will. GOT THERE, JUST THE SAME LL the live newspaper men are not dead yet, which sounds like an Irish bull; but we can prove the statement. When the storm in Texas last week put Hous- ton’s light and power plant out of business, so that it could only furnish direct power for the press, the managing editor of the Houston Press, an aftér- noon daily paper, installed a motorcycle in a frame, attached a belt and ran its linotype so successfully that it ground out’the type which told the first news of the great hurricane. RUSSIANS SAY they evacuated Brest-Litovsk to take up positions farther east. Some day they're going to se up their farther east, if they don’t watch out ‘ A MAN in Centerville, Md., is using his turkey gob Blers to hatch out ducklets t prospect the male Brillian has in this country after t WHEN AVIATORS make raids in flocks of 62, may be said that aerial warfare is introduced it 1 Complete Funeral $47.50 Including the use of our private parlors and the use of our own private crematory (NOT A PAU- PER COUNTY CREMATION), use We are manufacturers of caskets, and » we own our own modern crematory in liding. we are enabled to give this low gsice on @ complete funeral, ite you to visit our establishment and see for yourself what we furnish, BLEITZ-RAFFERTY UNDERTAKING & CREMATION CO. 617 KILBOURNE 8T, ROR.
