"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" is true of Europe today. The people of Russia have taken over the government of that country into their own hands and there is feeling that the war will end with a similar result in Germany. World wide changes are coming with lightning rapidity, one startling change upon the heels of an other, has awakened the people of the world as if from a dream and they are wondering why the end of it all will be. Revolutionizing the whole world in few short years may be for the ultimate good of the people, but the steady hands of strong men will be needed to guide the way to better things.

THE LIFE OF CHRIST
 AT ORPHEUM WEDNESDAY

Some two thousand years ago there was born at Nazareth, He whose teachings have enlightened the world. The events of Jesus life, from the manager to the ascension, make the most stirring story of all time to. all the races of mankind. The Pathe com pany, to fill a long-felt want, organ ized company of the best actors and produced "The Life of Our Savior" an accurate, superbly acted, dramatic visualization of Jesus journey on earth. The compilation of this chron- ology of Jesus is truly an achieve ment worthy of the highest praise as it truthfully and geographically DOT trays with grace and dignity His sui ferings and final achievement. This work represents lifetime of careful study and an immense financial out lay, and because of it's tremendous subject is the worlds greatest drama. The picture is colored and exquisitely arranged so as to bring to the vision a graphic realization of the infinite simplicity, yet monumental strength of Jesus.

Gompers, president of the Fedora ton of Labor, is not satisfied with the decision of the supreme court in the Adamson law case. He takes excep- tions to the statement of the court that there are three separate parties whose interests are involved in the action, the employees, the railroads and the people. Heretofore the inter- ests of the people were disregarded and they were compelled to suffer a loss greater in amount that either of the contending parties and were pow erless, without voice in the settle ment of the difficulty. The people do not take any more kindly to "the pub lie be damned" from Gompers than they did several years ago from g representative of corporate interests The people pay the freight and are entitled to a hearing when their in terests are jeopardized.

OREGON PROCLAIMS
 PATRIOTIC WEEK

Salem, Oregon, March 21.-Gov. Withycombe today proclaimed the week beginning March 25 as "patriot- ic week" throughout Oregon. He points out the great need for men for the National Guard, and urges all qualified men to enlist as a means of showing their loyalty.
 The Governor in his proclamation says: q urge all young men to fulfill the obligations of our national citizen ship by rallying by the flag, thus set ting an example worthy of our best traditions and indicative of their cer- tain continuance"
 The Coconino Sun advocated a Patriotic Week" over year ago which was taken up rather generally over the state but no action was taken except locally. .,
 If it had been taken up at the time our state of preparedness would have been one year in advance instead of a year behind in the present crisis.

THE USUAL COMPREHENSIVE

It was not until the death of Repre- sentative Conry of New York reduced the Democratic strength in the House to 214, as against the 215 Republicans plus whatever they will gain from the independent group of five, that all this talk arose in Washington regarding a "non-partisan" organization of Cong ress. The whole thing is a Demo- cratic trick, based upon false appeal to the country's patriotism for the benefit of the partisanship of the Democratic party. We hope no Re. publican will be deceived. Let us know whether the independent group favor the Democratic party or the Republican party, whether there are Republicans who will not support a Republican candidate for the Speaker ship, whether the loaves and fishes of federal patronage are more potent than party ties.

WHAT OUR FLAG MEANS

Regardless of the great apathy of the people of the United States in the present crisis, patriotism is not really dead in America. The past wishy- washy, wabbly policy of the govern ment has been keen disappointment to the red blooded American people. As a nation we have been compelled to stand for insults, slurs and viola tion of our honor, such as no indivi- dual American would permit. The average American is not itching for a fight, but the present "pussyfstic'' government has trailed the average citizen of the republic to that point in the road where he is ready to fight whether the government is or not.
 It is true the "inlander," or many of them at least, regards the Americ- an flag as very pretty piece of bunt- ing used for decorative purposes mainly on Fourth of July, just why they have forgotten.
 They do not seem to realize that il stands for their homes, their liberty their prosperity and the upbuilding of the institutions they claim to love; il is the emplem that symbolizes all the hopes, aims and ambitions of one hundred million people and he that reviles that emblem would as soor revile the mother that gave him birth.
 An insult to the flag is an insult tc every institution, an insult to you anC ancestry. Splitting in your face is but a mild insult as compared to an insult to the flag of the nation.
 The Flag is our alive stand ol fall by it. It means a free and in dependent people when upheld; a de graded bunch of snarling mongrel! when trailed in the dust, and, tn, mongrel who insults that emblem the emblem that has brought the best and freest government of man into being, should be quickly transferred to the dust from which he came.
 America is not perfect, nor are wt as people, but, the means are of fered whereby the lowest in the socia scale may point the way to better things, and, each and every advance. ment gives but added value and glory to the Flag that has pointed the way to the freedom of man.
 Under the conditions which this flag was brought into being, there is no danger of America ever being com mitted to militarism, and the mother who did not raise her son to be a soldier" in the American sense of the term, is raising a worthless weed. Life is but battle and the victories won are counted as to the good you have done your fellow men.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
IN ARKANSAS

The women of Arkansas have been granted the right, by act of the legis- lature, to vote in party primaries, though they are not yet permitted to vote on election day. However, in Arkansas, it comes to the same thing. There are no elections in Arkansas properly speaking, because Democrat, ic laws and Democratic intimidation prevent Republicans from exercising the franchise. The only political con- tests in Arkansas which are worthy the name take place in the primaries of the Democratic party, where rival factions fight out their differences.
