rAe.cRux OF HE FRYE CASE.

If the only thing stake in the of the steamship Frye the of money 10 be paid by Germany for sinking her. it wouldn't be worth much attention. But the real question involved is one of the most im- portant issues of the war
 It is the counterpart of the Lustania case The one concerns the involabiity of American life on the high seas The other concerns the invioabiy of American ships The latest to Berlin prepared by Secretary Lansing is admirably clear and unyielding demand for the shipping rights guaranteed us by German treaties.
 The Frye, American sailing vessel laden with wheat, was sunk in the South Atlantic by the German cruiser Prinz Etel Friedrich Germany admitting the respons- bty, contends that the permissible under the treaties of 1799 and she may properly sink any American ship carrying contraband provided she pays for the ship She has therefore on leaving the matter prize adjust the compensation secre Lansing maintains that Germany has such right that the sinking of the vessel was plain infringement of the treaties andsthat the question therefore to be handled automatically by direct action between the Berlin and Washington governments. The question of contraband he says hasn't anything to do with the mat He denies that the right expressly given in the treaty of 17s9 for begerent party to "detan contra Oanu can pc stretched 10 mean destroy the shp carry ing the contraband" He interprets the treaty as any ayman would be likely to. as meaning that Germany has destroy American ships under any circum fstance' Germany inerprets meaning that she may destroy American shpsif she is willing pay for them whenever they carry contraband.
 If the German contention now made for the first time after 1l6 years, allowed the result plain. It is practically impossible from any American vessel to cross the Atlantic nowadays without carrying contraband The
 list has been extended to cover no, only and am muniton but foodsufs and nearly every other merchandise required in quantities by foreign market. Every vessel under the American flag would then be liable to destruction by German submarines night
 By vigorous enforcement Of that policy.

RAISE OLIVES AND
 DATES IN ARIZONA
 AND GET A FORTUNE
Plenty of Land Here Suitable for These Crops From Which Pro- fits will Be Slow but Sure.

TUCSON, July s. Arizona has many thousands of acres of land suit able for special lines of development but not adapted to general agriculture. According to Dr. A. E. Vinson, Bio- chemists of the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, the date and the olive are well adapted to reclaim two types of these. lands. The date will thrive on alluvial lands in the lower valleys of the State and will utilize irrigating water that is unfit for ordinary chops The olive is well adapted to mesa lands and can be grown with small amounts of water if properly applied. These lands are almost valueless today so far as yield ing taxes to the State is concerned However, men with means are not in- clined 10 risk the uncertainties, and wait until these rather longtime prop ositions become producers. It would cost probably S20O an acre to set a date archard, while the land might be worth only $1O. The improvement however, become subject to taxation at once although they cannot yield proftabl crops for 10 vars.
 The value of such development in promoting Che general welfare of the State can hardly be realized until one looks carefully into the situation. En- couragement by the State should be generous and in a short time the re- claimed land would yield a handsome profit. Much could be done toward fostering such plantings and exempt ing them from taxation for number of years. Undoubtedly an act to pro-
 mote that end properly safeguarded against misuse would give the best and most reasonable encouragement within the power of the State Such an
 act might exempt from taxation for a period of five to ten years, according
 to the ikud of crop. such plantings

Ouch!

The democratic administration fac
ing an ever growing deficit, notwith-
standing war taxes and income tax,
is seriously contemplating cutting the
size of the income a man can have
without paying a tax. So far the
country newspapers have been rather
enjoying seeing many of their delin-
quent subscribers have to pay an in
come tax, but when they see the gov
eminent beginning to cast longing
eyes toward the income of the wash

tors are naturally becoming a little
apprehensive that the next blow will
fall on them.-Garden City Herald.

Editor Register:
| reached here Sunday afternoon and
soon found my way down to South
Clark street without getting lost more
than twice, and proceeded to take in
the city. l don't think much of their
management here compared to Lamar.
| wanted to see the prize fight adver-
tised for Sunday evening and paid 50
for ticket. AS was going up stairs
to the hall l was met by boy in uni
form who asked me for my ticket,
took it, and said the door was just
down the hall from the third landing.
At the door they wanted to see my
ticket and when told them about the
boy they said that game was too old.
l went back and found the boy was
gone. told the management how we
did such things in Lamar but they did
not refund my money.
/ next saw man trying to auction
off bright gold watch but he didn't
seem to be having much success, so
| told him | was a member of the pro-
fession and offered to help him out.
At fiIst he refused and then suddenly
told me to come right up and take
hold. Just as l had that crowd of
birds going south the place was pulled
by the police and we were all taken
to tho station except the real auc-
tioneer, who escaped while I was try
ing to sell the watch. He must have
smailed something. At the station |
told them l was president of the Y.
NJ. C. A in Lamar land that's with
in one of the truth which is pretty
close for mel and they said l looked
the Fart and they would let me off if
would not try to go to church on
South Clark street again.

Offices to sell some of our surplus
baseball players and they asked me
who / had for sale. told them l

Too Badl

They say man learns naughty
things in the legislature and we are
beginning to believe it. The Denver
Post tells of DR.. Hasty blowing rings
of smoke from his cigar in the face
of the committee Of Denver female
politicians who visited him to rake
him over the Goals, and as the Doctor
never has been known to smoke here
at home we fear he is learning things
in the capital city. The aforesaid
female politicians have driven their
husbands and most others who have
to listen to them to drink, so the Doc
tor can't be blamed for trying to
smoke 'em out.

blow at the high cost of living by dis
covering that English sparrows are
good to eat. There are enough Of the
little pests over the country to fur

is that people have not constructed
their houses right. If the roofs were
steep enough so that they would slide
off and break their necks it would be
all right, but there is not enough meat
in one to pay for shot to kill it.
