He reflected that across the Atlantic millions
of human beings Were at that very moment en-
gagged in the dreadful task of killing other human
beings with every invention which ingenuity and
skill could bring forth from the laboratories of
science and the workshops of industry.
In other lands at that very moment tens of
thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless
folk-feeble, aged men and women, mothers with
babes clingng convulsivey to their breasts, little
chlldren sobbing in terror, vast army of the in

Spirit of Real Patriotism.

Last Monday evening Hon.
Chas. E. Hughes was formally
notified by the committee of his
nomination for the presidency on
the republican ticket, in speech
delivered by Senator Harding
of Ohio. Replying thereto Mr..
Hughes delivered his speech
of acceptance, clearly defining
his position on the issues that
are confronting the people of the
United States today, and left no
room for doubt as to what he
considers the duty of all true
Americans in this crisis. His
position on our foreign policy
was especially strong, and went
directly to the core of our present
ineficiency so humiliating to the
country. We quote from Mr..
Hughes address the following:
In this land of composite pop
ulation, drawing its strength
from every race. the national
security demands that there shall
be no paltering with American
rights. The greater the danger
of devisive influences, the great
er is the necessity for the unity
ing force of just, strong and
patriotic position. We counten-
ance no covert policies. No in
trigues, no secret schemes. We
are unreservedly, devotedly,
whole heartedly, for the United
States. That is the rallying point
for all Americans. That is my
position. | stand for the un-
f1inching countenance of all
American rights on land and
sea.
We have had a clear and de-
finite mission as a great neutral
nation. 1t was for us to main
tain the integrity of international
law; to vindicate our rights as
neutrals, to protect the lives of
citizens, their property and trade
from wrongful acts. Putting
aside any question as to the high
est possibilities of moral leader
ship in the maintenance and vim
dication of the law of nations in
connection with the European
war, at least entitled to the safe
guarding of American rights.
But this has not been secured.
We have had brave words in a
series of notes, but despite our
protests the lives of Americans
have been destroyed, What does
it avail to use some of the strong
est words known to diplomacy if
ambassadors can receive the
impression that the words are
not to be taken seriously? 1t is
not words, but the strength and
resolution behind the words, that
counts. The chief function of
diplomacy is prevention; but in
this our diplomacy has failed,
doubtless. because of it's impair
ed credit and the manifest lack
of disposition to bark words with
action"

With the approaching of the
primary and the general election
it will be we'll for naturalized cit
liens to see to it that their nat
uralization has been legally COM
pleted, or they will be denied the
right to vote. A naturalized cit
izen under the law of Arizona
must file his papers with the su-
perior court of the county, and
in cases where the papers are
lost a certified copy of the court
records granting naturalization
must be filed. Persons claiming
citizenship through naturaliza-
ton of their parents must either
file a certified copy of the papers
or a certified copy of the court
record. Failure to comply with
these provisions deprives the
party or parties of citizenship,
and deprives them of their right
to hold office or vote. This year
all registrations will be contested
that fail to show naturalization
records in the superior court as
required by the law of Arizona.
