A Damper on Prescott

The conduct of the Russian prisoners, the slack CTS, in the county jail Prescott is contributing to the popularity of the in that community. especially among those citizens whose relatives have been drafted have enlisted.

 All this is irritating when with it the thought to Prescotans that such these that their sons and brothers been selected for the national army. If they and others like them slackers the favorable chances of those who have been selected would increased by just so much.
 In some measure Prescott does not much about fighting for democracy in Russia it would have done but for these Russians. has taken the edge off Prescotts enthusiasm about war.
 It is. therefore apparent that the government made tactical strategic mistake in sending these SlaNs Prescott. But they had to be sent some where and herever that might have been, they would have cast similar damper upon warlke enthusiasm creating a mild and passive disoyalty.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Knowledge that the directors of the Chicago board of trade tomorrow would set date for q conference with other exchanges rel ative to removal of maximum prices on corn had considerable to do with sharp advance today in the corn mar 5et Quotations closed strong at the topnost point reached, with net gains of 258 to 27s, at $1.20B to S1.20& for December. and S1.175s to SILVA for May. Oats finished l4 e Ssc to 2c up and provisions at a rise of 22c to soc.
 The chief factor at first in the corn pit was the prospect of weather con- ditions adverse to the maturing or the crop. Reports were circulated that recent damage by frost in Iowa, north ern Illinois. Indiana and Ohio was more serious than generally has been supposed. Unusual lightness of offer ings tended further to incite buyers and tnen gradually attention focused on chances of the present high limit on prices being altered. Oats reflected the strength of corn. Demand for immediate delivery was f brisk
 Provisions scared to new high price records and closed at virtually the topmost point of the day. The princl- pal impetus came from hog scarcity, big shipments of meats, advances at Liverpool and the bulge in corn. Close:

 There is now good reason why both Kerensky and Kornloff should work in unison. What Russia needs is strong to lay iron hand upon the situation No people after centuries of sub mission to autocratic government and with large portion of it's numbers only half century removed from serfdom pass in a night from imperialism to repubcanism, from czardom into freedom. The Russians have shown that they cannot and the period of their transition between the great extremes of government must necessarily be bridged with the iron rule of minded welded to the ideals of the sway of repubcanism.

Both probably realized that the saving of Russia much more important ma ter than the immediate settlement of the basis upon which the democracy of Russia should be founded

 "The conflict between Kerensky and Korniloff happily carried consequence of catastrophe the Russian people. Each of these thoroughly inbued with the Slavonic tradition and aspiration.

When Liquor Selling Is Treason

Those who dispense intoxicating liquors have al- ways been notoriously inclined to law-breaking. Where the sale of liquor permitted but regulated, the liquor sellers constantly disregarding evadng the regulations In the long this has been advantageous the of prohibition. It was public resentment at the lawessness of the saloon keepers their violation of Sunday closing ordinances their sale of liquor minors and habtual drunkards put the saloons of business in e-hird Of the states than one-half the of the United States
 Now in places where local state laws still per nit the sale of liquor the saloon keepers with their characteristic blind, bull headedness cunning against the federal government by trying to get the order against the sale of liquor to of the army and the navy uniform.
 The offense if detected, has not been thought by saloonkeepers or bootleggers in communities where the sale is prohibited by law to be likely to lowed by serious consequences-perhap by a fine. the profits the transaction in liquor worth the risk of mourning that.
 The question has, however been raised whether not such transactions may not be regarded as reasonable if the government says it is In time of a great many offenses which under normal conditions would considered minor, be dealt with under the broad interpretation of treason and without any strained interpretation either
 The government could make out very strong against the liquor seller It would have trouble at all in establishing treason if the offender found to have tempered with ammunition rendering rifles and cannon ineffective Certainly it is bad and worse, tamper with the behind the gun, destroying reducinng his efficiency.

WAR GARDENS TO bE SHOWN
 AT B|C FAIR

J. R. Sandige in charge of the war
 gardens of the Inspiration Copper
 company of Miami, arrived iii the city
 yesterday to arrange with the man
 agement of the state fair for space for
 an exhibit. The exhibit will consist
 chiefly of moving pictures of the
 gardens and of exhibits from the
 gardens. There will also be moving pictures of the mining operations o1 the Inspiration, the most complete in up-t -datenesS in the world. If building cannot be secured large enough for moving pictures, space will be taken for a tent in which the pictures may be shown.
 There are 432 of the war gardens This movement was started by the
 mine management. Every employe of | the company who wanted to engage in gardening was given a tract of land water was furnished it and he was | assisted and advised regarding the planting and care of it. If he took good care of it he was not interfered with. But if it appeared that he was mere cunberer of the ground the sarden was taken from him and given | 0 some one who would cane fGI it.. 3ut most of the men took a great in crest in the gardening and as a result hey all have the vegetables, and more han they need for their families. The vegetable market of Miami has been so | supplied that the Chinaman who had | 'ormerly had a monopoly of the vege- | able business in that great camp have l given up in disgust and have trans l erred their activities to Globe.
 l It happened that the gardens, though l he gift of the mining company, came l be supporters of the strike. Most l f the occupants of the gardens were 1 tmong the strikers But the mining l company permitted them to use the | ardens and their products Otherwise l here would have been suffering in | many of the families of the strikers
