When the bubble is big and round and fat, grab it in your'right hand and: you'll have just as much value right there in your fingers as it you held one of the shares of stock of any of several scores of new companies which we could mention that are now being floated in this sweet land of liberty. TO THEE, MIKE, WE SING. DON’T BUY. They’re pyramiding new securities as the sands of the seashore and just as stable. Watch the wave of peace hit ’em! Capital stock of new companies to make munitions of war increased from $100,000 in January, 1915, to $27,500,000 in April, 1916, Total mu- nitions incorporations since January, 1915, were over $127,000,000 and two- thirds of it will produce no other dividends than sheriff's writs after peace comes. It’s the same in chemical companies and dye companies, in petroleum and motors and sugar and copper mining, with many little people throwing their savings in—and to the winds. It’s high crime. It’s high treason. Penitentiary for the thieves when the bubbles burst? No, Mike, you're the only one who will be punished—punished in your heartaches and worse, punished in your poverty and worse, punished by your family’s deprivations —and worse. lH Americanism T IS an anomalous situation which presents the spectacle of 7,000 Mexi- cans, of all classes, fleeing across the line—not from this country to Mex- ico, but from Mexico to this country—at the threat of war. But in their act is a mute yet striking tribute to the United States, as well as a refutation of Carranza’s charge that the masses of Mexico are fear- ful of America’s purpose. | | They are so fearful, it seems, that they flock here to be secure from peril in case of war. And on a par with this country’s oft-evinced desire to maintain only happy, friendly and humanitarian relations with the Mexican people is the FRGOROOE ROC UROOCUCOOR OC O TCO FUCK RICK Wit HH MK KA mex FOOL” BY CHAS.

STAR manner in which these poor refugees are being received. In El Paso, the most precariously situated, perhaps, of all the border cities, and where the seven thousand crossed, not one authoritative voice has been raised in pro- test.

It does the heart of El Paso credit; it does the nation credit; it is splendidly American, Another Attempt to Exploit? HAT the great salmon and other fisheries of Alaska will inevitably pass into the control of the “fish trust,” if the pending bill introduced by Rep. Alexander of Missouri becomes a law, is the charge made before the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries by James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska in the house. Alexander is chairman of the merchant marine and fisheries committee. 3 Wickersham objects to the feature of the bill which will prevent the territorial legislature of Alaska from levying any tax on the fishing interests. He contends that the provisions of the bill effectually confirm the fish trust in its occupancy of all the valuable fishing sites in Alaska and will tend te create a monopoly. “The Alaskan support 50,000 resident Alaskan fishermen and families. it is in a fair way to be destroyed.” Delegate Wickersham quotes from the last annual report of the gover- nor of Alaska to show the enormous importance of the salmon industry. “Salmon canning,” says the governor, “constitutes the chief feature of the fisheries of Alaska, and it is an industry which has assumed enormous propor- tions as compared with the modest efforts that obtained for a number of years following the erection of the first cannery in 1878.” In 1914, the pack of the mon industry, it properly conserved,” he says, “would Instead of which 8. Alaska salmon was 4,056,653 cases, valued at $18,920,589. In spite of the enormous increase in the catch of Alaskan salmon, Dele- gate Wickersham points out that the price of salmon to the consumer is stead- ily increasing. “According to the United States bureau of labor statistics,” he says, “the average wholesale price per dozen cans of salmon increased from $1.64 in 1880 to $2.23 in 1914.” KKM OKOKER KERIO MEK KOR By 5 A Novel le Aa Copyright by the KKAKMAMAMAMARRRGP OAM WAR ARMRMS A.
