MUST WORK FOR THEIR PART.

Ever since it was started the cam paign for the control of the Darda- nelIes and the fall of Constantinople has been recognized as being of the greatest importance to Russia. That country is anxious to remove Turkish control of that valuable waterway but there are other nations which would like to see such a thing accomplished and at the same time an end reached to Turkish rule in Europe.
 In an article in the current issue of the Yale Review Sir Edwin Pears. who is thoroughly acquainted with conditions in that section of the globe, says If the attempt to force the Dardanelles fails I should then expect that Rumania and Greece would persist in their neutrality" and later he advances the opinion con- corning the assault that it will be successful I entertain no doubt; but fear that it will be costly in ships, men and money"
 That the defeat of the allies in their effort would be discouraging to any interest or intent which Rumania and Greece have relative to their ambi- tions in that section is readily recog- nized, but instead of waiting for such to be determined it would seem that their logical course lay in lending their influence and help to the accom- plishment of that which they are anx- ious should be brought about If they expect to participate in the fruits they must naturally participate in the con- fict and their entrance would bring greater consideration If 1t was taken at a time when they would have a chance to make valuable contribution than it would if they should wait until the big task. had been virtually accomplished and then scurry to get in with the winning side

the product Is healthful and that no one suffers even though he eats o1eo when he believes it to be butter. yet it is impossible to get around the fact that such is a violation of the law and an imposition upon the consumer which cannot be tolerated. The law was adopted for 8 purpose and it must be upheld. It is therefore grati- flying that along with the announce ment of the large financial loss through the fake there comes the statement that those who are respon- sible for the situation will be prose cuted. If law is worth making 1t is worth enforcing and when such disregard for its provisions are man. ifested there remains nothing else to do but to bring such schemers before the bar of justice

EvADINe THE oLEo LAWS.

The loss which this government has sustained of $27, 900, 900 through the evasion of the oleomargarine tax is in keeping with the swindling schemes which are practiced upon the unsus- pecting public from one years end to the other. This big haul covering a. period of a dozen years has not only struck heavily against the revenue of the country but it has meant that the public was having forced upon it oleo which had been colored to look like butter and was purchased for butter
 There has been a long and hard fight against the oleo interests but it has not been waged hard enough if the figures of Secretary McAdoo are based upon actual facts and it is not to be supposed that they would be made public unless such was the case.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Might, ResourceFuIness and SpIendor
 of Germany.

VI WI 'hcA'Js
 MT. Editor.-The terrible war raging in Europe for the last ten months shows no signs of cessation. Never be-
 fore has Germany had the opportunity to show it's might, resourcefulness and spIendor as in this war, and every
 unbiased person will accord them credit and admiration.
 After all what a wonderful people the Germans are, showing themselves to be. What foresight and prudence are being devised and made use of to nOuriSh the millions upon the battle fields and equally so, the millions who
 are at home. What a masterful ad
 ministrative system that provides and
 insures to each inhabitant, rich or
 poor. the very sustenance of life.
 Such a populace can never be con-
 quered; such a people must be vic
 tOriouS, despite all falsifying reports,
 and the doubtful neutrality of many centuries. We all lament and deplore
 the torpedOing of the Lusitania and
 the loss of so many lives. Yet what fairminded and honest man will say
 that Germany was not within her rights? A British ship listed as an auxiliary cruiser in time of war, car rying the worst contraband, ammuni- tiOn and death dealing instruments, to be used against the Germans and returning reSerViStS to take up arms against Germany, such was the ship that was destroyed The SI6TIudII elIl- bdsSy gave ample warning to Ameri- cans and to all people that this ship was marked for destruction, eau tioning all against embarking on this disastrous journey. What greater ser vice could have been expected? Our own government should have prevent ed Americans from jeopardizing their lives and kept them from sailing on a ship that was an auxiliary cruiser, and loaded in her bottoms with death dealing ammunition, to be used against others whose life was as sweet as their own. We are Americans. We give way to none in our patriotism, and support of government and live for the institutions of our country. But we must express our chagrin and depre- cate the stand of the federal admins tration takes when it permits the sizure of Americans ships loaded with food and cotton for neutral countries, 1 some slip of a cos in such neutrality. I say again, we are Americans and to a man will defend the honor and pres tige of the stars and stripes when at

GOVERNOR sLAroN,s ACT.

With a realization, in view of the dissenting opinions which had been given by judges and a member of the pardoning board, that there was a doubt which could not be dispeIled in the Frank case. Governor SIaton of Georgia exercised the right of his Of flee when he cornmuted the sentence of death to that of life imprisonment. It is an act which will meet with widespread approval throughout the entire country where the opinion pre- vails that Frank had been convicted on evidence which was insufficient, which was furnished largely by an ir- responsible witness and which in the opinion of the trial judge was not enough to warrant the verdict
 Frank is by no means acquitted of the charge but the saving of his life permits him the opportunity, if such a thing is possible, to prove his inno- cence and clear himself of any con- nection with the foul deed.
 The change in sentence marks the continuation of a hard and persistent fight. It gained it's greatest support not through the fact that there was opposition to capital punishment but because it was believed that the yer dict of the jury had been reached through fear of the mob, and how strong such is capable of becoming is to be understood when the citizens of that commonwealth hanged the gov ernor in effigy.
 Throughout the history of the case there has been a persistent feeling that justice was not being done in carrying out the verdict of the court and if the governor has erred in sa.v- ing Franks life it is on the side which. does not close the door to the recti- fcation of any mistake the jury through influence or prejudice commit ted.

Much Smuggling of contraband.


 There has been much discussion about the smuggling of contraband from Sweden to Germany, though 1t is well-known that the customs of ficials have been alert to prevent it. The suspicious were justified ap- parently, in the case of the steamer Solve, which left Stockholm in Janu- ary, loaded with plaids, copper, rub Der tires and a miscellaneous cargo of other articles. She was bound for Norrkoping, where additional cargo was to be put aboard. Then it was in tended to have her go to Malmo and off the coast. where it would be out side Swedish waters, have the ship seized by Germans. But the author ities took the ship in Norrkoping har- bor.
 In February, there was another at tempt. Three big steamers loaded with maize, came into Landscrona harbor, the bill of ladings signed to order. A German presented himself as the owner and ordered the ships on

Bryan's Plea for Five MexiCans
Needed by Arizona Pardon Board

Phoenix, Ariz.--After every lega
recourse had failed, the mercy plea o.
William ]. Bryan, secretary of state
which had been rejected by the state
legislature, proved potent to save the
lives of the five Mexicans who were to
have been hanged at Florence peniten-
tiary.
At the last moment the state board
of pardons and paroles, taking cogni-
zance of Mr.. Bryan's request for de-
lay, ordered reprieves of nine weeks
for all of the condemned men and rec
commended that they be executed sep
arately and not together, as was in
tended.
Whether they will be executed at all
depends, however, on the success at
tending future moves in Governor
Hunts five-year struggle to abolish
the death penalty in Arizona.
The condemned men had been bound
and made ready for the plunge through
the gallows trap, when the board of
pardons and paroles made known Its
decision to grant a delay. The de
cision was expressed in a resolutidp
adopted after a session lasting all
morning. This resolution declared
that the secretary of state had seen fit
to recommend reprieves, in view Of
the executions on American interests
in Northern Mexico, the board had
concluded to recommend delay.
