p. Tbe statement of policy as to fhe
oH-fa-tate strengh of tbe navy and tbe
Ume when it sbonld be nchieved -is a
reiteration of tbe board's position as
carried in its report to Secretary
Daniels eacb year since 1915. ' -
5v Contrary to bis custom for the last
few years, Mr. Daniels did not make
9>?btie tbe board's recommendations
wben bis own .annual report was re-
-Jeaeed, although it was attached to
tbat document as it went to tbe pres*
Idant- , Mr. Daniels did not himself
recommend any buildiug program,
withholding tbis for later presentation. ■ * -• y -
fes fn its recommendations, made pub*
lie today at tbe department, tbe   een-
- oral board   urged   a   policy  of  naval
expansion   tbat   will   guarantee  pro-
.taction of coast lines and   the rapidly
I expanding -nerd-tact   marine  against
" any naval power injtbe  world.   .Sucb
protection,  tbe  board  declared,  can
- be bad only by increasing American
I aea power to a point where it is sec*
: ond to none" and maintaining it at
\ tbat level.
Vy: The board further asserted tbat.
| tbe -ww having demonstrated *that
| possession af a fleet powerful enough
|~fco protect its sea.borne commerce is
1 vital to any nation in time of bostil-
| ities, tbe maintenance of sucb a navy
I by the United States wonld be "a
g^r sat preventive of war, for no nation
I would lightly provoke hostilities when
I her own commerce would thereby be
.imperiled."
|pL Tbe necessary future strengh of tbe
j^ American navy,- therefore, mast de-

By unanimous die.mou. the
tutionality oi tbe "war time"
bition act w«8 upbeid hy the
Supreme Court on Monday and the
cases brought from the New York
and Kentucky districts were dismissed. s^All hope of the war time act
being repealed before constitutional
prohibition ta£es effect is thus swept
away unless Pres. Wilson shall by
proclamation declare demobilization
ended. "Had tbe Pres__ef*fc on Oct.
28 last when be vetoed the * Volstead
bill believed tbat demobilization * had
terminated", the court said, "he
would doubtless have issued _h--._ a
proclamation to that effect, for be
had manifested a rronst conviction
that restr._-.i_r.-- up-*u iu, sale of
liquor should end'.
T_e war time act tbe court also
held is not confiscatory, asserting
tbat more than nine months were
given distillers t o dispose of their
stocks, wbich time tbe court believed
to be adequate.
In just three months to a day, from
the time be filled his application,
Jobn Nortbon received notice tbat a
patent would issue on bis road drag,
mention of whicb was made a few
weeks ago. This is certainly better
than the English 'Circumlocution
Office" that Dickens tells us about.
Tbe sbort time required was due to
tbe fact tbat tbe patent was not contested, and aleo we presume because
the Patent Office officials saw that
they bad before cbem something of
real merit.
Now for tbe manufacture of this
drag: As we said a few weeks ago,
the tool is not an untried experiment.
Mr. Northon constructed one, in a
somewhat crude form, and it worked
to perfection. Tbere is nothing on
the market anywhere near its equal.
The qemand for it .would be immeate,
and coastantiy increasing, Road
building is the order of tbe day.
Wby should not this tool be manufactured right here in Clare? We
have a building already constructed
tbat would doubtless be ample. Tbe
necessary machinery should not
cost an extraordinary sum. Tbere is
plenty of capital here to turn the
trick. Clare needs factories to stir
np new life and tbis one might be
only tbe forerunner of others. Wbo
will move in this matter?

In aome  respects   tbe   bitterest  arraignment of tbe   administration   tor-
its conduct of the   Mexican   question
which   bas   been   heard   in   Congress^
bas been uttered by Senator  Asbui.t
of Arizona, a democratic member.
Senator Ashurst's indictment is tho-
more striking because   ordinarily   be .
haa permitted himself to be  lined  np>
to support whatever  tbe  administration asked him   to   support.     In   tbe
case  of   Mexico,   it   is    evident    hie
patience is about exhausted.
He presented in tbe Senate a resolution which in effect calls on the*
War Department to assemble ou tbe
border troops in sufficient nomber to
protect tbe Americans along the border from tbe Mexican outlaws anct
marauders.
In discussing it, Senator Asburst
declared the Mexican question taadV
been "miserably aud shamefully mishandled." He declared tbe policy-
toward Mexico had b«e__> ''weak, vacillating, negligent anil cowardly" and.
that he would stand it no longer.
He said he believed the people of
hie own state were no *v in peril fron*
border outlaws and tbat the policy off"
tbis government had encouraged ; 1 bo-
contending factions in Mexico to believe tbey conld sacrifice American,
lives an get "slapped on tbe wrist"'

will be no deviation from the new rate after Jan. 1.
The Sentinel list will be completely cleaned up. If
any man does not renew while he c^n do so for $1.00
we shall assume that he does not intend to do so when
it will cost him $1.50, and ali names in arrears will be
dropped not later than Jan. 15 and bills sent for
amount due. -■ With print paper more than four times

Any subscriber can determine from the address

endeavor to have these figures correct, but no one is
infallible. If there is a mistake in any case, • we shall
