At the time of the building of
the y. P. railroad across the
trackless pains to the Pacific
coast, a republican congress and
President passed and approved a
law whereby the government
went into partnership with cap
italistS to encourage the building
Of the road. It was done in good
faith to develope the western
country, and the results proved
the wisdom of the move. But
for every succeeding presidential
campaign for thirty years the
democratic party assailed the re-
publican party, and branded its
leaders as corruptionists for en-
acting the law. With the repub-
licans still IL power they sold the
governments interest to the re-
organization committee of thesU.
2. road and closed the incident.
Now after twenty years we learn
from the daily press that Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo is
The Winslow mail., 1915-09-10

preparing to recommend to Con-
gress that the government go in
to partnership with private CAPT.
tai to build a line of steamships,
probably to ply the Atlantic with
New York, the home of the Sec
retary, as their base. He doubt
less will be Greatly peeved when
his recommendations meet re-
publican opposition, and demo-
cratic argument of thirty years
years ago is brought up to plague
him. There is no good reason
why government aid should not
be given private capital for the
establishment of our merchant
marine, either by subsidy or en-
tering into q partnership, but it
will take some high-class aero
battles for the democrats to land
gracefully after all their years Of
peanut politics on the other side
of the question. If it was Grim
inal for republicans to assist in
building a railroad, is it exalted
patriotism for democrats to as
sist in building steamships? It
was experimental legislation on
the part of epublicans, and no
words of encouragement came
from the democrats, but only re-
ordinations were heaped upon
them. Now, apparently, the
democrats are to take the atti-
tude that government aid is pa
triotic craftsmanship. 1t is no
longer experimental. If the U.
P. scheme was a failure why re-
peat the mistake with ships; if it
was not a mistake why so much
demagoguery in the years agone?

The Arizona prohibition law
makes it a crime to bring liquors
in the sta te even for personal
use, and while in our judgment
the law is wrong, still it is the
law and should be obeyed until
repealed or amended. The man
who is convicted of violating its
provisions stands in the eyes of
the law and the people as a Grim
inal just as much as though he
had been convicted of petty lar
ceny. 1t is usually just a dare
devil spirit that prompts a fellow
to try to get by with it, but he
forgets to count the cost of the
disgrace and humiliation to fam
lily and friends, as we'll as his
own discomfort, when he gets
caught. Is not the price too great
to take a chance?

Several of our neighboring vii
lagos and cities are being flooded
with mail order catalogues, &C
cording to our exchanges, which
is not surprising when the mer-
chants in those towns are better
qualified to be sections in a rural
cemetery than operating a COM
mercial enterprise that requires
push and enterprise. WinsloW
is not bothered with the mail or
der business, because we have
merchants who are alive, and are
catering to the demands and
needs OF their customers, and are
awake and huStling for business.
The cross-road store has no place
IN this commercial age, and the
sooner he moves out and makes
room for a live merchant, the
better it will be for that commu-
nifty. If this class of merchants
would put in just half the time
heretofore spent in growing in
brushing the cobwebs from their
merchandise and cultivating a
cheerful smile, they would soon
forget about mail order houses,
because they would be too busy
waiting on trade.

do a little thinking themselves,

Some Changes Needed.

One subject that should COM
mand the attention of Congress
at its next session, is a general
hauling and amending of
our naturalization laws. Since
the opening of the European war
thousands of our naturalized citi-
zens have returned to their ma
tive country to take up arms in
her defense, Notwithstanding
they subscribed to a solemn oath
renouncing allegience to any 9TH
er country. Those who have re-
turned perjured themselves and
are practically in contempt of
court. If they ever attempt to
re-enter the United States they
should be turned back as unde-
sirables, and the law should be
SO amended. In the case of ma
tive born citizens going abroad
to fight under another ruler, they
should be denied citizenship un-
til they took out naturalization
papers and renewed their oath of
allegience.
Another danger, serious but
not threatening, is in allowing
naturalized citizens to be eligible
to seats in the y. S. Senate and
the House Of Representatives,
the bodies which have the power
to declare war or negotiate peace.
1t must be admitted that some of
our ablest men in Congress have
been naturalized citizens, who in
tranquil times faithfully repre-
sent their district and uphold the
honor of the country. But in
a crisis such as has been con-
fronting our President the past
few months, he has received
very little, if any, moral support
or encouragement from the Ger
man-American in Congress, and
they have been united in their
efforts to suppress the manufac-
ture of war munitions in this
country, and stop the exporting.
The aiding of Germany to them
was the paramount issue over the
prosperity of the United States.
The situation is serious but not
threatening. simply because only
a small per cent of the member
ship in Congress is of foreign
birth, but it is possible in some
future crisis they might be in
the majority, and thus place the
United States in a very embar-
RAISING position. For this rea-
son the constitution should be
changed to make the qualifca
tions of Senators and Congress-
men the same as those applying
to the President.

HARVEST ARMY GOES TO
WHEAT FIELDS OF THE WEST
Great Grain Belt Is Invaded by Thousands From the
East Harvesting Now Under Full Roadway.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-The van
guard of the harvest army has invad-
ed the great wheat belt, and from all
directions the corps of recruits are
arriving. Advancing from the South,
keeping pace with the reapers and
binders as they progress northWard
with the ripening grain, are the main
body of men upon whom the Mime
sofa farmers and railroads depend to
garner the crops of the Northwest.
Then there are the hoboes, who con-
sent to periodical employment, the
UNEMPLOYED from the cities, at the
fag end of their finances, and hordes
of rangy boys who are for lark
in the unknown country that beckons
them.
In South Dakota the harvesters are
now under full Roadway, and by the
end of the week the reapers will be
moving down the southern end of the
great crop in Minnesota. By August
20 fully 10000 men will be working
in the Minnesota fields.
All of the old gags" of the road
we're used over again this year. by the
nomadic workers. Many of the har-
vest hands entrained as railroad
workmen. When they arrived at their
destination instead of hiring out TO
the railroads they deserted and roam
ed into the farm section for harvest
Jobs. The railroads have been grew
ousIy deceived by their recruits
While this practice is not ofilciaIly
countenanced and there is snow OF
disappointment at the deception II Is
suspected that officials know exactly
what the men will do. In fact the
ruIes and regulations of the inter-
state commerce commission are Wink
cd at. Under the interstate law the
roads cannot ship farm laborers TOT
less than the regular passenger rates.
b,,t this restriction does not apply TO

the high prices for cotton now pre-
vailng in Germany and Russia, about
80 cents pounds, will attract cotton
to those countries in spite of appar-
emily insurmountable obstacles, just
as high prices paid for cotton abroad
during the civil war made blockade
running a steady business.
There seems to be no question
that ample funds can be obtained to
finance in normal way much larg-
er volume of cotton than was taken
care of last year and that even if Ger
many and Austria-Hungary should be
forced to suspend cotton manufacture
ing entirely statistics show that the
mills of the United States, Great Brit
ain, Spain, Russia, Italy, Japan and
China have spindles sufficient to alb
sorb every bale of cotton that is like
ly to be cultivated.
Reduction in Acreage.
''It should be noted that the reduc-
ton in American cotton acreage this
year amounts to more than 100000
acres and that Egypt and India have
also made radical reductions in cot
ton acreage. 1t is probable that the
worlds cotton crop. based on an av-
erage yield an acre, will be about
1000 bales less than last year.
Cotton, unlike grain is a commod-
ity the market value of which depre-
ciates in time of war and the South
as a producer of that commodity has
suffered. The actual position of cot
ton, however, is so much stronger
than was the case year ago, the f.
nancial conditions are so very much
more favorable, that there can be no
doubt that if the South will keep cool
and will refrain from merely weak
ening its own position by unwise &C
ton, the present nervousness regard
ing the market for the growing crop
will soon disappear
As to Cotton Price.
Even in the face of all the adverse
conditions during the last twelve
months the average price of cotton
has been about what might have been
expected for a 100000 bale crop
had there been no war, and there is
every reason to believe that the aver
age price of cotton during the next II
months will be higher.
THE real question is: VIII South
ern merchants and Southern bankers,
and all others interested in Southern
trade, cooperate in securing for the
cotton producer the benefit of this
average price, and will the cotton pro-
ducers themselves do their part? My
knowledge of Southern character and
Southern business conditions justifies
a confident belief that an affirmative
answer will be given"
