Where There's a Will, There's a Way

James A. Garfield had the power granted to few really great men of transmitting to his good measure of his ability. Hence there will be more of satisfaction than surprise in the fashion which Dr. Garfield has taken hold of new problem arising from the of of the coal producers now that their product is under price control
 The Independent states that complaint has been made to Dr. Garfield by some of the smaller consumers of coal who asked for small quantity of mine output and were told all the coal had been contracted some months ahead Among those affected were pub lie service corporations in smaller towns several schools and other public institutions some small retail dealers.
 Such situation Dr. Garfield as fuel administrator could not allow to continue. took hold of the mat ter with characteristic energy by announcing that fuel administration department will require the pro- ducers aside certain percentage of their pro- duction for the government The government will then undertake for those who have made com plaint of not being able to a coal supply

DUTCH TROOPS HOLD
 OWN AGAINST THOSE
 OF ENTENTE POWERS
Republican A.?. Leased Wirel


 PEKING, Sept. 29.-Troops of the German interests here for a time guarded the Deutsch Asiatische Bank against soldiers from the legation of the entente powers who were sent to seize the property of the bank when China declared war against Germany and Austria. Chinese troops were rot allowed to enter the legation quarter where the bank was located as this section is international terri tory and when the entente legations attempted to act there was confusion.
 The Dutch legation insisted that any authority to enter the banking property must come from the Chinese foreign office. A French sequestrator VITO represented that he had been selected by the Chinese government to take over the bank, was denied ad- mission to it until he presented prop CT credentials.
 Meantime, for hours a mixed crowd of entente troops, including sikhs from the British legation, Italian ma rines, Anamese from the French lega- tion, Japanese and Cossacks. stood guard outside the gates of the bank compound. Dutch soldiers held their ground inside the gates and a crowd of curious Chinese watched the little international comedy at a safe dis tance
 After hours of delay satisfactory papers were obtained and representa- t'vec of the various legations present

Where the People
 May Have Hearing

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 l and many others at Ray have grievance which 1 venture to point out to your intelligence department with
 the hope that a little enlightenment may find it's way around here. Our grievance is that no hunting licenses can be purchased at Ray this season. Upon visiting the court house, eX- blaming that I wished to renew my hunting license, as the quail season commences shortly, I was told there was nothing doing; if l required a hunting license l must get one from the state game warden. In reply l stated that I had always obtained one locally in previous seasons. You will not get one here this season." they informed me and told me that not a cent was allowed for selling them, not even postage in obtaining them from Phoenix, and to handle them meant being out of pocket, etc. could realize the point as far as it affected them. What I should like to know is, who is carrying out this foolish method of supplying licenses to the many sports men residing in this district? It would surely be a better policy to allow a small commission as in former years for the trouble of obliging people than

 IN BIG COOD-bY

 ing to attend a farewell banquet
 given for Bob Boardman, physical
 director of the Y. M. c. A., who leaves
 Monday night to take up |. M. c. A.

 After justice had been done to the dinner. l.. w. Coggins presided as
 chairman. He opened his short talk by reading telegram received frem

 among the delegates sent to help ex- pend that money. After wishing MT. Boardman success in his future work, he introduced Charles Christy who said he knew Of no man in whom they could take more pride than Mir. Boardman. violin solo was then played by MT. Null, accompan- jed on the piano by Mir. Nye. MT. Null responded graciousiy to an en- core. This was followed by very pleasing vocal solo by Miss Hazard q newcomer to Phoenix. The chair ! man then called upon N D. San ders, L. G. Hayes and J. o. SeXson who made short inpromptu speeches. They all dwelt upon the great and noble work MT. Boardman is enter ing.
 | MT. Boardman next took the floor amid the cheering of the whole as- sembly. He said that the one great shadow cast upon his departure was | the leaving of real friends, and that he felt that wherever he went he would be backed by friends. He also spoke of the difficulty MT. Mott had in establishing tine Y. M. C. A. ill | Russia as well as in France.
 Although the call was not unex- pected. MT Boardman did not Know until Friday noon that he was tC leave Monday. During his three years residence in Phoenix MT Boardman has made many friends.

having a whole lot of them hunting without license, which will most likely be the case with this system prevailing, the state thereby losing the full cost of same. The authorities have raised the price of licenses more than hundred per cent, cut out a con- siderable portion of the time for hunt ing. It looks now as if you will have to go and humbly beg permission to hunt from the state game warden. 1 do not know if other districts are af- fected the same.

were admitted to the bank where the records were closed with seals of the French, Chinese and Dutch govern ments. Dutch guards remained on duty at the entrance and the other suaids returned to their various lega- tions
 The American legation did not send q guard. It received no request di- rect from the Chinese foreign office, and the legation took the position that the Dutch were entrusted with German interests and were quite competent to take over the bank without the presence of other na- iCnals.
 Holland had taken the German le- ,atiOn over at the tine China sev- cred diplomatic relations with Ger many in March and the Dutch flag lready flew over it. As the Chinese id not see fit to interne Germans and Austrians and to take over enemy buildings and business in Chinese ter ritory there was no evidence of war preparations outside the legation quarter.

 Before America was in the there might have been just reason for difference opinion now that the country has taken it's stand every loyal citizen must do his full share to win war This is no time for waverng but for aggressive action Public speeches which might discourage faltering ally such as Rus sla, by giving color to the charge that the United States is torn in its belief in the war; are little less than treason for if Russia is of fight the bur, addresses might doom counteasscizens of this coun- try to death s\
 There are many people who are conscientious in their belief that all war is wrong and there devoted to such faith These people justly made to fight but there is they may without hurting their conscences. just Colonel Roosevelt suggested.

Fall Fashion Show

On the evening of October the merchants or Phoenix will present to the people Of the Salt River valley their Fall Fashion Show Of course the primary purpose of the display is to sell goods though none will be offered sale that occasion and so the most tempting wares obtanabe will be shown and the window shopper will have his her fill of the very newest ideas to be in the great ceners Of the country
 Fashions this fall are unusual than in many years As in all of the nations at war, the military touch has been felt in most lines This gives an op- porunity for window display such merchants have not had long time and will add materially to the success of the occasion in Phoenix
 Municipal occasions of the sort of the Fall Fashion Show serve an excellent purpose They stimulate in- terest in the offerings of home merchants and snow hundreds who might not otherwise see them the ex- tensive stocks which carried in the capital city of Arizona To become better acquainted with the stores and shops of city the extension Of home trading and that in turn, means better town and a bigger one
 These are some of the hy the Fall fashion Show deserves the merchants and citzens alike

Sinews of War

Business Usua' phrase has been ooJecteo to because many claim that the paramount business just is and that war is quite unusual Tn these United States America However, the phrase runs remains that there are two lines Of de fense, the army the field and the people on the farm and at their usual vacations. Those in the trenches could not exist without those at homo any more those enough to be in their usual environ could live in peace without the soldiers
 Since money is the measure of supplies and repre- sents the possibility of purchasing the thousand and things the front must have, it is very necessary that it be forthcoming when needed If the citizen at home is making money and has not saved money it follows he cannot produce money o the demands of a great field force For this reason is patriotic duty to keep business going at home that the army may be kept going on the battlefield
 It does not take much contemplation to grasp the fact that as a rule during great business not directly curailed by actual aes vigorously It to- large share of all the nation earns IS to be paid tribute the god of If the United States 40 billions and is eXpending Is billions the war; business has to be good to Keep pace with the drain.
 It must not be forgotten that all the money ex- pended is not for men, powder and cannon Clothing is needed and nearly everything else even down to form of amusement, which man needs peaceful callings The very purchase Of these things creates business and in the creation of business more power purchase for governmental use is auto matically created
 Never a writer speaks of the entrance of the United States the without some tribute to the vast this country offers to the cause of de- mocracy. These resources are based on two things men and money. The latter is created by business
