THE NATIONS LEADER

Woodrow Wilson has been the nations leader in the trying three years of its history.
 He has been the spokesman for humanity through out the world at time of international upheaval.
 How great has been the restraint upon the embattled nations because of their knowledge of the force behind the American President, probably never can be accurately estimated. It is certain, however, that had it not been for the moral leadership of Woodrow Wilson, there would have been no restraint at all upon the belligerents
 Under the leadership of President Wilson, the United States Las given evidences of power which has made all European nations, after each new move await the verdict of America.
 There has been egotsm noise and buster, no attacks upon honest business from the White House in the past three years. There has been no junketng or excessive speech-making. President Wilson has handled the worldpower which destiny bestowed upon United States the present cruel cial period with faithfulness, discretion and the strength that symbozes the nations greatness
 is it any wonder that stalwart Republican news papers as we'll as those of independent Demo- cratic faith have paid Woodrow Wilson the tribute of ranking him with Lincoln as one of the great est Presidents?

POLITICAL HOGWASH.
Or would you?

The voters of Greenlee county open their eyes to the fact that the Detroit Copper company, owned by the Copper Queen, has decided that Shern Cash and Governor Hunt must be defeated NO MAT TER WHAT THE COST MAY BE. It is not be- cause Sheriff Cash has not been good official but made these mining companies obey the law and fused to allow lot of blackguard strikebreakers to enter the district during the big strike And fur ther both officials refused to shoot down men who were striving to secure living wage. '-Dunbars Weekly.
 Such political "hogwash,' and mis-statement of facts must be extremely embarrassing, dis gusting, to the Sheriff of Greenlee county and the Governor of the State. The attempt of Dunbars Weekly to make political capital in favor of the Sheriff and Governor by the circulation such the above will prove abortve in the locality where the voters are familiar with the history of the Clifton -Morenci strike than the editor Dunbars Weekly.
 No occasion arose, during the recent unpleas- antness in this district, compel the mining panies obey the law, for the simple that the mining companies accepted the situation, discon inued all operations placed all their property in the Lands of the Sheriff, defined their position their employees, and awaited the final result The Sheriff knows that at time, after the mine managers placed their property in his hands for protection, was any attempt made, contemplated to import strike breakers into the district.

The attack made in The Free Press and The Miners Magazine both publications edited by the same individual, against George Powell and J., L. Donnelly, prominent leaders in the labor movement in Arizona, shows the desperate methods adopted at the moment by Mover, Miller, ct al, to again fasten their strangle hold the Western Fedora tion of Miners. George Powell, of Miami is didate in the approaching election in June to suc ceed Moyer and is being supported for the position by the officials of the Arizona State Federation of Labor, of which J. l.. Donnelly is the second vice president. The rank and file of the Western Fed eration of Miners want housekeeping and have nominated George Powell to wied the broom, and from the present indications based reports from Montana, Idaho Utah. and Nevada, the official days of Mover, together with his red flag and dynamite policies, are numbered Between the lines of the Free Press and Miners Magazine the labor union ists of Arizona see the cunning hand of Mover and, have spied the bug underneath the chip. Suffice to say that the labor forward movement in Arizona, der the leadership of such as Powell and Don nelly is more strongly entrenched in Arizona today than ever before, and it remained for Donnelly to take up the work in this district after complete failure by Mover and his usual tactics

AS REGARDS CHURCH GOING

By the courtesy of the editor of this paper certain articles were pub. Ilshed recently with reference to the lack of interest manifested in the work of the churches of Clifton. In my last article I mentioned some of the causes for this state of affairs. and stated that I would, at a future date, endeavor to point out the ab. sence of any real foundation for the specluos excuses or reasons given why the citizens of Clifton did not take greater interest in the work of ire churches.
 The first reason stated was indif- ference. This arises l believe, from tNo reasons:
 |. Cburch-going is either a matter ot little or no importance
 z: It arises from a condition which is defined best by a word lately come into general use, namely.
 slacking"
 Dealing with reason number one: Church attendance is a matter of inn portance. Practically all my friends .old me they regarded the Church very highly. They said it was help ful in the community; that it made for better citizens; that it stood for the best things in life, and wherever it existed always improved condi- tons. These very facts alone should interest every loyal citizen in it's support. They should cooperate with and encourage the Church in every way possible.
 It is the unselfish and helpful thing to do. Your attendance may help and encourage others to 20. Men have been helped, and men are being helped by church attendance. There they get their minds away from their cares and troubles. There their minds are dlrected towards the highest and noblest thousnts of which men are capable.
 Church+going is as necessary to spiritual life as school is to education al llfe, as practice is to ball playing It IS matter of importance to al, men to get right with God. A mat ter of the greatest importance flor what shall man give in exchange for his life." Church-going, a deeu and working interest in the church. and the things the Church stands for. IS no more a matter of little or no inn portance than would be a call to serve your country in its hour of need.
 Now for number two 'tslacking. !"
 What can l say about the 'tslacker?" (the one who neglects his duty to serve.) Great Britain has been try ing for eighteen months to bring some argument to bear on her slackers, to make them see and feel their duty to their country. The same problem faces the Church. Slackers in Church life are neither hot or cold. They do nothing for the Church, and the worst of it all is that they are utterly indifferent to their own ultimate good. Thou foolish one" this is no matter to be slack about, this night thy soul may be required Of thee."

PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE

Suppose you, in less trying times, had occupied the center of the stage and the paudits of the null titude had become as the breath of life to you!
 Suppose you had been able to win cheers and ap- plause merely by riding in the cab of locomotive. or on the cowcatcher; by boxing with polite pro fessional or riding tame horse in a well kept park
 Suppose that you had come to be regarded as the worlds greatest publicity expert with newspa- per editors reserving place for you every Monday morning the first page, the public always await ing your sensational 1ooptheloop with feverish interest!

 Wouldn't you, as a dethroned comedian, feel little like standing in the wings and shouting that the serious performance all wrong; that it wasn't as heroic as gymnast would make it, and that what was needed was the sap-stick method?

 And if this new hero of the public simply mained faithful to his task, paying attention to even referring you indirectly, wouldn't be apt choleric as time went on?

Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the Treasury under Republican administration, says: T have no hesitancy in admitting grave doubts whether the Republican Party can, if it should try and also whether it ought to try to defeat the party in power upon issue of excoriation because it has failed to accomplish in four years what we failed to do in forty years. If we have small and inadequate army and navy, the Republi- can Party is 80 per cent responsible for its ineff ciency for the Republican Party has been in power 80 per cent the half century If coast de- lenses are silly, submit it does not lie in the mouth of the Republican Party to say much about it. Let the next administration be business administration, while preparing for peace let it also do what all agree should be done-prepare for eventualities that may ensue."

EDITORIAL OPINION
THE GOVERNOR AND MINE TAXATION
Douglas InternationaD

By intimation himself and by bolG statements by those who sit within the limits of his political ring, the governor of this state has attempted to credit the impression that Sir Galahad Hunt is entitled to all the credit for the increased assessments on mine and railroads. in the state since Arizona was admitted to the union.
 Let as consider the facts and learn if this claim is true or not.
 The first assessment of mines in the new state was made by a tax commission appointed by the governor it is true, but this commission had no more power in the assessment of mines than was found in the special mine tax law passed by the first state Legislature and signed by Gov. Hunt.
 That law provided that producing mines shuld pay tax n the value of 12 1-2 per cent of the gross output and 400 per cent of the net output. Gov Hunt signed this bill knowing that if it failed to become law his own ap- pointees on the tax commission would be left to value the mines of the state for taxation at their full cash value, as provided for assessing all other classes of property in the state That special law was passed to serve in assessing the mines for two years only.
 At the end of the two years and when the second legislature convened the governor in his message was silent on the subject of mine taxation, the presumption being that he was satis- fled with the special measure which he signed two years before.
 In the second session of the state Legislature an attempt was made to pass another special mine tax law similar to the one enacted and signed by the governor during the first ses- sion. This attempt failed, but there is no record of any piblic expression of the governor either for or against the measure.
 
 In the absence of any special law the tax commission last year assessed the mines by a system very similar to the one provided by the proposed law defeated in the last legislature. The total mine assessment was in creased, but under the proposed law they would also have been increased because of increased output and high CT value of the metal mined The tax commission of the state is composed of three members elected by the peo- pie and in no way controlled by the igovernor of the state.
 So, the attempt to make it appear that Gov. Hunt is entitled to any credit for the high or low assessment of mines since Arizona became a state lis unwarranted unless the signing of the special mine tax law passed by the first state legislature and defeated by the second legislature constitute a praiseworthy act.
