Tho Government and the 1. w. w.

Action by the government against the l. W. w. to curai it's activities perhaps will apply Ar zona, at least to the mining camps. The l. W. W. is pretty well in check there not only out and out mem bers of the organization, but those who in sym pathy with them No idleness in any of the mines in this state at the time be charged to the l. W. w., at least to those who recognized mem bers of that lodge of idleness. We think it will be long time before any mining camp in this state will be infested with this recognized pest, though per haps other pests only slightly less damaging will work less openly. The people of Arizona have taken the measure of the l. W. w and have relieved the government of a part of it's work in the campaign against this menace the country's industries.
 Still definition by the government of the activ- ities of the l. w. w. as disoyaty will considerably aid Arizona in keeping the upper hand of the ganization

sour HSIDE NE WIS
DRAFT |S CAUSE OF
 CHANGE IN FACULTY

MESA, Aug. 1S-Mr. Dahl. who had been selected by the board of the Mesa Union High School as assistant in the commercial department has been called into service in the new national army. The vacancy thus caused has been filled by the election of George Seymour.
 Another change has been made neces- sary by the resignation of Miss Nal Joy, instructor in Spanish and Latin. This competent and popular teacher has secured a position which she con- siders, offers advantages over the one she held last term, and James R. Green has been elected n-her stead. MT, Green comes with exceptional ref erences as to his ability as a tacher of language, and because of the de- mand for Spanish here, an attempt will be made by some who cannot attend school to have him conduct an outside class.
 Repairs and changes in the building are about completed MT. Matthews since his removal from Phoenix, has been busy getting hold of all lines of the work before him. The outlook is for a larger attendance than at any time in the history of the schools.

Germany and Our Presidential Election

MT. Gerard in his story of -Four Years in Ger- many" touches upon matter to which many Amer jeans have given thought, and he relates fact coming under his observation what many of had suspected The ruthless submarine warfare resumed by the Germans early this year part result of the presidential election.
 Many things contributed the reelection of MT. Wilson, though doubt if any one of them had not occurred he would been defeated. No issue was brought out clearly in the campaign than the peace issue He kept of war" was a most affective slogan
 We cannot say that all who supported MT. Wilson believed that because he had kept us out of war so far he should in any circumstances keep us out, but without doubt many thousands voted for him because they believed him to be nfallibe safeguard against war If they believed that it quite natural that the Germans should believe it. It must have seemed to the Germans well to Americans that nothing provocative than the of Lusitania could occur.
 Whether the German belief that with the United States impossible under the administration of MT. Wilson deciding factor in preciptating ruthless submarine warfare is fer conjecture. It may be doubted whether this warfare would have been entered upon had MT. Hughes elected Germany undoubtedly believed it be a necessity and probably held the United States possible beigerent In such low esteem that she would have invited entrance into it. Only by such warfare could Great Britain be brought her and if that could not be done Germany abandon hope of winning her war But with England forced by starvation to submit it would make very little differ to the immediate aims of Germany whether America in the
 With the conquest of Europe effected Germany perhaps would have welcomed our entrance into the conflict It would have saved her the trouble of pick ing a quarrel with us preliminary to an as- sault upon the Monroe Doctrine and to proceeding to the collection of a indemnity which seems to have been in the German mind long before our dec laration Of g. state of war

Street Crossina Collisions

This is not a direct attack upon the billboard nuisance It is only collateral incidental and inevt- able It embraces other nuisances and avoidable ob- structons of the vision street intersections. The other day fatal collision two automobiles occurred the of Van and Seventh streets where there is high billboard which prevents approach ing the intersection from the north from observing approaching from the east, vice structon any other of the four corners it would be less dangerous. The billboard primarily responsible for the death of boy collision.
 But we cannot say that it wholly responsible A driver who has not his machine under control at street intersection is contrbutary whatever may happen there and blame attaches him in a degree determined by the character the crossing One of these machines certainly not under control and perhaps neither was The machine from the north assuming that both equally distant or nearly way and the driver could have reasonably believed that he could cross If both machines under control there would have been no accident
 Somebody is always blame an accident at a street crossing. The common verdict unavoidable" neither to blame" is always wrong If driver tries to pass another at intersection he should be rested and if an accident occurs he should be jailed He should not be heard to say that he deceived by the driver in front that the driver had sig nified his intention of turning. It is driver should always give such signal not though the benefit of anyone behind him. but for those in front of him.
 Getting back to the subject of Instructions some unavoidable buildings instance; trees fruit or ornamental. may be said to be unavoidable; so in certain circumstances may a fence or shrubbery be. but there be excuse for a high billboard ob- structing the view at a crossing.
