Austria might well have adopted that course in the first place. Great Britain has no trouble in adding big vessels to her merchant fleet and in making loans to other countries with which she wishes to establish trade relations.

SELF-GLORIFICATI- ' ' ON 7 ! King or Windy Bill, as he was facetiously bbed by Judge Powers years ago, when he was an immature poli-aspirant, since coming home to Utah, has evidently spread so ich senatorial salve around promiscuous-likthat he has aroused Democrats, who sense in his Mre of many of the ons a direct bid for another senatorial term, The suave and artful junior senator of the Beehive state is too 4t serious opposition in his aspirations, if well authenticated inflation coming to The Citizen may be believed. It is learned from jjjde sources that a meeting was recently held in a down town Jce building, at which were present a large gathering of prominent fibers of his party' and that a unanimous opinion developed that should be repudiated completely set aside and that a less vacil- and more dependable democrat be given support. i.Reasons advanced for ousting Senator King were based on his ord during the war, when it was alleged, he failed to give Presi- Wilson his full support at the precise time that the president doing his greatest work to bring about world peace, because he left off of the delegation that went to Paris to settle he war jjincidentallv to barter awav the freedom of the United States. claim King double-crosse- d the president and if he in any' way cnted the consummation of the strangely deal to ,this nation of its sovereignty, he is certainly entitled to some le credit, no matter whether he did it out of peevishness or for Senator W. H. al e, died-in-the-wo- ol j F un-Americ- an f his native .land. ' And this galaxy of Democrats in opposition to King hark back tie days twenty years ago when they aver that propaganda de-afathered by Senator King, defeated A. W. McCune who t mtedbut one vote in the state legislature to become Utahs senator, jit was not forthcoming. In the last election this coterie claim that Senator King, as king nd Utah Democrats, went over to Ogden and selected Mayor Frank incis to run for governor and attempted to completely side track eHknown Democratic war-horsB. II. Roberts. e, ; It is a well known fact, say some of these opposition Democrats, tjn his own mind, V. II. absolutely and completely rules Utah 0cracy. But those who disagree with him point to me very' t fact t hat brother Sam rules Y. II. and that if there is a real ratic boss in the state, it must be Samuel and not the senator. ?he story is also going the rounds that failing in his senatorial tions, Senator King will seek a new birth and new fields to cr, as for instance, New York.

Reduced automobile prices and the increase of 32.2 per cent in that business during recent months, as announced by the Department of Labor, might explain a few things to the coal trade which is urging domestic consumers to lay in their winter supply at war-pea- k figures. It is about time to notify some people that the individual who speaks solely in terms of self, and the group that speaks only in terms of class, instead of in' terms of the greatest good for the great- est number, are not liable to get very far at this particular ome. King Boris of Bulgaria plans to visit this country sometime this year; but whether he will come incog or in. the steerage the cables fail to sayr. The fact should not be overlooked that a great deal of money was honestly' earned during the war. Wholesale profiteering has cast suspicion on all enterprise, sincere or otherwise. Another evidence of contact. Scientists say' women are growing whiskers. Cheek to cheek dancing is surely doomed. Keeping up with the neighbors is quite apt to put you behind with your creditors. One way to help keep warm this winter will be to think about the unreasonable coal prices. The theory that the world is cooling off will soon be proven ; then well be wanting summer to play an encore. Women! God bless em. Having been born naked they naturally' hate to wear clothes.
