The cigarette act passed by the
last legislature goes into effect
June 7th, after which time it is
unlawful to sell or give cigars,
tobacco, cigarettes or cigarette
papers to any person under twen-
ty-one years of age. The penal
ty for violating any of the pro-
visions of the law is a fine of not
less than $40 nor more than $100.
The same penalty applies to per-
sons under the prescribed age
who buy or have in their possess
sion any tobacco, cigars, or
cigarettes, or cigarette papers.

A federal grand jury in Boston
has returned indictments against
nearly a hundred corporations
and individuals, charged with a
conspiracy to monopolize the
onions of the country. If they
are convicted when put on trial
they should be sent to the peni-
tentiary. Filming them simply
adds to the cost of the onions to
be used later by the consumers,
and the penalty falls on them
instead of the guilty defendants.
Confscation of the food products
monopolized might also have a
good effect.

When the German army evac-

of the allies they decorate the
ruined walls of the city with the
words God Punish England" "
Perhaps under the iron rule of
Emperor William the simple Ger
man peasant has been compelled
to believe that God and Bill are
co-partners in ruling the world,
but there is no biblical authoriza-
tion so far as we can find that
God is interested in any army
fighting for greed and power. In
the old Testament we read that
God helped His chosen people
when assailed by the hosts of
unbelievers and infidels seeking
their destruction, and in those
days the Hohenzollern blood had
not received divine grace.

Buying a Liberty Loan bond is
not only a patriotic duty, but it
is a good safe investment, not
axable, and with the interest
paid promptly every six months.
Even the element of patriotism
is not essential when a man can
find an oportunity to make a
good safe investment of his saw
ings. 1t was only a few years
ago a great hue and cry went
up from a certain class of people
that government bonds were al
ways issued in large denomina-
tions so only the rich could buy
them, and now for the purpose
of making it possible for the lit
tie investor to buy a bond or two
they are issued in $50 and $100
denominations in this Liberty

A modified press censor bill
has been agreed to by the con-
ference committee in Congress,
and the bill will come up some
time this week for a vote. Just
why President Wilson is insisting
that some kind of power to
censor the press of the country
should be placed in his hands is
hard to fathom. No other Presi-
dent has ever asked for such a
power, and so far already he has
been granted more power than
any President ever befo ore
dreamed of asking at the hands
of Congress. Is this going to be
a strictly Wilson war for his own
glorification, or is it a war of the
people of the United States
against a common enemy? This
is supposed to be a free country,
where liberty of the press and
freedom of speech is one of the
corner stones of the institution,
guaranteed by the constitution
that has stood for one hundred
and fifty years, and if this sacred
document has to be violated for
the United States to enter this
war, perhaps we are making too
great a sacrifice in the effort to
establish Observation-Disclosures
the world. 1t is to be hoped
members of Congress will uphold
the constitution, and refuse to
pass any censor bill.

1t is time now for the people
to wake up to a full realization
that the United States has a real
war on it's hands, and the apathy
of the past must be quickened
into a patriotic zeal so fervid as
to spread the contagion to every
inhabitant. The time has passed
for debating the cause of the
war, and the hour is here for ac-
ton. The President has called
for an army of 100000 men to go
forth to battle for the honor of
the American flag, and only trai-
tors will raise their voice in pro-
test, or decry conscription.

The Phoenix Messenger says it
lis rumored that Gov. Campbell
will call Tom Rynning to the job
of superintendent of the prison
at Florence to succeed the pre-
sent incumbent, and the Messen-
ger complains because Rynning
lis now living at San Diego. We
don't know Tom Rynning. but it
is impossible for him to be Less
competent than Warden Simms,
and he will certainly enforce the
laws instead of lending assistance
to condemned prisoners to escape
the judgment of the courts. The
only complaint we have to make
with the course of Gov. Campbell
is his delay in firing" Simms.
A man of his caliber should be
severed from the state payroll
as quick as possible for the good
of the state and discipline in
general. A state appOintee who
uses his power to set at naught
the laws of the state for the ae-.
complishment of his pet hobbies,
has no rights that should be re-
spected by Gov. Campbell.

There are a few pacifsts still
in Arizona, and they have band
ed together to get signatures to
a referendum to hold up the
operation of the bill providing
for military training in the high
schools, which goes into effect
with the new school year. For
tunately there are not enough of
that stripe of citizens in the state
to furnish the required number
of petitioners, and Arizona will
have military training in it's high
schools.
