For some hundred years this country, al England and the rest of the English speaking free men of the world, has been laboring under the fool impression * that it was governed by constitutional law that the citizen from the high-handed spleen of t bosses. Indeed, ever since the nobles wrestled w John all over the lot, and extracted the Magna Charta from him, men were not to be thrown in jail without due process of law, were to be given a speedy and open pub- lic trial by their peers, and were to have the right of counsel. And yet today, in Seattle, a deputy sheriff not only ean throw a citizen into jail without a warrant, without making a charge, without excuse or reason, but he can maltreat that citizen, maltreat him until the police have to escort him to his cell for safety’s sake. And this man can be held incommunicado, without securing access to an attorney, without seeing his friends, withou lic, thru the press, being a i Government by Resolution | _.A subscriber with a sense of humor sends us a bill for} ands of bacon. e bill is for $1.70, or 85 cents a pound for bacon.

Italy’s Temper Nations are like individuals in their tempers and in-| sretions. Italy is having evidence of this fact in a pain-| form. In the war period it borrowed heavily from the ited States government. It got the money at an extraor-| rate of interest—314 per cent—when the United) was paying that much or more for the loans it ‘egotiated with its citizens. At the same time Italy was Paying 51% per cent to its own. people for the money it owed from them. : ‘Now Italy must borrow an immense sum—billions of The United States government is going or has e out of the business of lending money to other nations. | aments now must negotiate their loans thru bankers | large degree.

Because, in the peace conference, America d some of Italy’s claims and particularly that in re- n to Fiume, the Italians turned to denunciation of the ted States and restored the ald names to the avenues streets which had been nated in honor of America. Italy is very heavily burdened with debt. It has not oved its credit position by its temperamental outbursts. ; nent plays a part in banking as in every other branch business. Regardless of the fact that the world appre- that Italy, like a high-tempered person, says and more in her moments of irritation and excitement n she means, the anti-American outburst may seriously the terms if not the success of such loans as Italy es in this country. roti lowed to investigate. Now the postal employes want a 50 per cent increase. Nobody is satisfied with 2.75-per cent. In times like these there must be great obstruction of traffic on that single-track mind. We can’t accomplish much by stopping the exporting of food unless we begin the deporting of food profiteers. Why extend the Lever act to peace times if it can't do us any more good than it is now doing in war times? ong with preserved iniformed That sort of a thing is as truly Hunnish as Kaiser Bill at his worst. It makes the spleen of any rough-neck “peace” of- ficer the nation’s law, and at one jump leaves us where we were in the black ages, when the spleen of a pampered kinglet could ruin a peaceful countryside. The constitution of the country presumes to give ith King every man the right to his freedom until he has been charged with a crime by due process of law. And when so charged he has the right of offering bail, of securing legal advice, of eonferring with his friends.

The col onists put up a gallant defense. Only one of their men was lost during the siege and 47 of the enemy were killed, but the colonists’ store of am munition was small, and they finally agreed to surrender under promise of protection, Hawks especially stipu lated that none of his men were to be delivered to the Indians. In viola tion of these terms, the French com mander delivered half of the valiant little garrison into the hands of the savages.
