BREAK THE I. W. W. NOW (The Independent) The I. W. W. has been looking for trouble since its first day on earth. The western wheat raising, lumbering and mining states have arrived at a conclusion that they might as well supply the commodity at once and enough of its to meet all demands. We sincerely hope that they will. This organization is a public nuisance. Among its members doubt- less are many well meaning persons. Among Its organizers and officers there may be a few honest men but it has not hesitated to give power and leadership to Jail birds with histories, and of late it has freely been making threats to destroy the wheat crops, smash up saw mills, ruin mlnea and commit other depredations. Its moving spirits are temperamentally lawlesB, and anarchists by profession, and their motive is "pure cussed- ness," It is time for the American public to take them in band, put them behind the bars and break their organization. If this job means a considerable disturbance of industry, let's have it and have it now. There is nothing to be gained by waiting or by timor- ousness. The Federal government is ready to back up the state govern- ments to any necessary extent. This country is at war with a ruthless and dangerous enemy. All our resources, of materials, food supplies, lumber and metals, and man power are demanded. The I. W. W. is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Whether it is taking German gold or not, is neither here nor there. It is obstructing the military operations of tho government and of the nation. It cannot and must not be tolerated. The question whether the wage earners of the west are getting ade- quate compensation is another matter. That should be looked into and dealt with on its merits by lawful methods. If it is necessary for the government to decree advances, as the British government has done, good and well. We have an administration that will not hesitate at any ac- tion that may he found to be expedient and just, but the I. W. W., along with the kings and other public nuisances, must go. LIKEN "MADE IN AMERICA" There is to be established at Portland, Ore., the Pacific Coast Linen Mills, capitalized at $250,000, for the purpose of manufacturing twines suitable for fish nets, etc., linen crash and toweling. It is expected that the company will turn out 5,000 to 6,000 yards of crash and toweling daily during its first year of operation. The entrepeneur is the presi- dent and general manager of the Flaxen Fibre Down Co., of North Tona- wanda, N. Y., who has recently had a request for an immediate option upon the entire output of his New York plant covering a period at least two years in advance. That indicates one of the opportunities which the war is affording. Just at present it is impossible for the supply of linen goods to keep up with the demand, so that manufacturers are sure of good profits during the period of war, at least, and perhaps for a little while afterward while readjustment is in progress. Then will come the period now famil- iarly styled "the war after the war," when every country in Europe, and Japan and China will be playing all the old tricks and many new ones to command foreign markets. Then is the time that the Pacific Coast Linen Mills, and every other linen manufactory will demand a return to the policy of protection to American inrustries. And the farmers of Oregon who sell to the mills their flax straw will be no less interested in the wel- fare of their purchasers. The linen goods industry received a bad walloping when the tariff law of 1913 was framed. Every article in the schedule was reduced in duty, and the whole schedule was handled with blacksmith's tools. NO ROO FOR DOUBT The New York Times, a paper close to the administration, says that "any injustice, if there is any, caused by overestimating the quota of any state will be corrected." Since all the overestimates were in Northern states and the underestimates in Southern states, why the doubt indicated by "if there is ahy?" Speaking of the trouble in East St. Louis, we are reminded that we have waxed eloquent in advice to Great Britain as to the settling of the) Irish question. Don't bother your head poring over a French primer, young man. A kiss tastes just as sweet from a foreign tongue. Perhaps, however, John Barleycorn is wondering what part of the German army walked over him. Shucks! Knocking out whisky didn't bother us a little bit. We didn't have the price, anyway.

How many times we hear of compara tively young persons passing away when they should have lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work is usually attri buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes autointoxication. The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay.
