SAM WALL CR|[LS REAR ADMIRAL

caused so many years of misun-
derstan ding and controversy.
There are many points about
the business that have puzzled me-
and many others besides me for
years and years and / don't sup
pose | will ever have another
chance like this to clear them up.
However, this interview has
already thrown some light upon
them.
"You were under the impress
sion that Peter Rainier was first
lord of the admiralty. When Van
couver put his name on the great
mountain, therefore, it is quite
likely that when you confirmed
him in that and dedicated to his
honor the most imposing and i'm
pressive natural monument on the
American continent you really did
not know who he was-that he
had successful fought our Ameri-
can navy, that he caused an Amer
lean commander to haul down this
flag on the open seas-did you?
You didn't know that, did you. or
you wouldn't have done it,"
The old gentleman who had
searched SO vainly and trembling
ly thru the Britannica for some
justification for what he had done
now allowed a distinct interval to
pass before he began that old stuff
about the divine right of discov-
cry.
An Admirals' Union.
But surely, admiral, you did
not know that Vancouver stands
in history distinguished for Just
one other trait besides that of
good sailor and good surveyor and
that is his uncompromising hatred
of everything American and espe-
cially of American sailors and Of
his injustice toward them.
why should an admiral of the
L. S. navy be SO anxious to OBJ
serve the code toward him? Tell
me that-if you really knew who
Vancouver was? You have testi-
fled here that you considered this
thing carefully.
"Or Is there" | continued, he
being silent, 'is there bond OF
courtesy among admirals that eS-
tends over into the enemy's coun-
try? Why should an admiral OF
the American navy get up out of
sick bed and rush down town at
risk of his own life to see to 1t
that the name of another and en-
envy admiral be not disturbed III
the enjoyment of high honors de-
spite the fact that the people of
the state called Washington have
formally petitioned that they he
rid of it,"
More Calls Coming.
Instead of answering my ques-
ton he said he had not been in
sick bed-that he had not been
we'll but that he had not been
confined to bed.
My questions were not answer
ed-but | know the answer and
so do you who read this.
A vain, conceited old man, abb
solutely ignorant OF the whole
matter, so jealous lest a judg-
ment he had In his ignorance, per-
petrated, be reversed, and care
less of the wishes of the people
concerned, he took a chance on
being stricken with apoplexy in
his hurry to the court. I told
him | would print this story.

friends, while In Washington, no
less astounding. | charge you,
that you will fail to read me to
the end only at the risk of missing
much droll and pithy history.

Dear Miss Grey: The Con-
LESSONS of a Wife" contain
much sound advice and phil
osophy and are written in an
interesting literary style.
To me, woman, At years
old, they appeal strongly and
are we'll worth publishing.
Altho my fate has been to be
the wife Of an irritable, over
critical husband whom / have
faithfully cooked for and
kept house for for 20 years,
and have also had six chill
dren to love and work for,
do not judge all men by him
and / know that there are
many good men in this world
who are kind to their wives.
z. T. Smith claims thar "a
good, sympathetic, honest,
home-loving, dutiful. kind
hearted wife can always hold
the affection of her husband
and make him admire, love
and even die for her."
Mr.. Smith, this is not true.
l am not the only kind,
Woodworking wife whose
husband has been seen kiss
ing other women; and I am
not the only home-ioving,
dutiful wife who has been ne
elected, scolded and nagged
at.
Much that you say about
flippant woman is true; but
l know from experience that
a tired, over-wrought hus-
band who Is met at the door
with a kiss by his wife and
who is waited upon by her
with cheeriness and gentle
ness, is often a selfish despot
who rules his home much as
a cruel monarch his king

DID Till 1t Hurts

Tacoma did splendidly with the Liberty loan
Now it must do as well for the Red Cross Aye, it
must do BETTER for then only will it prove that it's
heart is truly loyal and willing to sacrifice. There
was no sacrifice in buying bond 1t an in
vestment, good, profitable one. You merely
loaned some money to Uncle SAM whose bond is
as good as gold, and you will be paid interest on
your loan.
The Red Cross is different Tt demands genuine
sacrifice
Your pocketbook will be hurt this time, but do
not talk of your patriotism and your sacrifice
less you ARE hurt there Even then, it will be
pitifully small compared to the wounds and the
weary toll and the blood and the sacrifice of the
ON the field of battle, and the brave men,
bers of the Red Cross who are there to what
they can out Of the carnage

they may administer medical and surgical aid

Your own brother or son. perhaps, your own
sweetheart, or next of kin! It is they who are
shrieking for help It is they who must have that

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
 IS A MENACE

The London Chamber of Commerce has just gone upon record in a care fully considered declaration that "the operation of government control of industry as now practiced is a menace to trade prosperity and a grave han
 dicap to the plans for commercial de velopment after the war" It is not at all surprising that such a conclu- sion should be reached. Few men are successful in any line of enter prise. They attained success by be- ginning at the bottom and working up, learning in the hard school of ex- lperience and under the incentive of

SOUTH HAS TIED THE NORTH.

The commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the recent encampment at Boston, declar- ed that the North and South are unit ed in defense of the country against the common foe. True. By means of manipulated census figures the North furnishes more than its quota of drafted soldiery; through its supe- rior influence at Washington the South will have these men sent to Southern camps for training; by means of it's control of Congress the South will load the bulk of taxes up- on the North. The two sections are united all right. In fact, the South has managed to tie the north up good and tight.

LET EUROPE EAT CORN.

MT. Hoover is surely in error when he says that corn will be unaccept- able as food to the starving Euro peans. He must be passing his opin- ion upon what he saw in Belgium and in Western Europe--for corn (maize, as they call it over there) is great staple in some parts of Eastern Flu rope. It is eaten in Italy and all up and down the Adriatic. It is not used finely ground, as we are accustomed to have it, but it is roughly pulver- ized, something like samp or hominy; and it is well relished. Mir. Hoover would have us use more corn here in order to send more wheat, abroad. That is we'll enough-but let us try sending corn abroad, too. If the Flu ropeans would rather starve than to eat corn, it might be good thing to know that fact.
The Coconino sun., 1917-09-07
MOTORING WILL
 CONTINUE TO BE POPULAR

'I do not mink it will be necessary to abolish the pleasure of driving cars during the war, said MT. J. w. Fran cis of the Northern Arizona Motor Co.,, local Goodrich Tire dealer, :n commenting upon the recent state ment of national figure of the gas oline industry. ]
 "H our aeroplanes, ambulances and tanks" demand large part of our gasoline production, it will naturally raise the price on that which is left in this country for domestic purposes. A higher price will mean increased prod uction, for it will then pay to drill new wells and operate old ones, which were not profitable under the old low scale of prices. This increased prod uction will then, naturally, bring prices back to normal again. It is but the old story of supply and demand demonstrated again.
 "Of course" went on MT. Francis, "the thoughtful citizen Is closely watching the little expenditures con- nected with his motoring--it being a matter of personal thrift as well as 9 patriotic duty. Whenever he can coast he does so, shutting off his gas. This item is so important in Northern Ari- zona where the roads permit frequent coasting, that many motorists equip their cars with Silvertown cord tires because the resilient cords coast easi- ly and long,"
 Another thing to watch is the car buretor. Keep it always adjusted or it will "eat up" lots of unnecessary gasoline"
 "When the car is not running, the motor should be stopped. It may not take much gasoline to keep the en- zine running two--three or five min utes while you are waiting for g friend, but multiply this by million or so and you will find that the total could be used to run many aeroplanes for Uncle Sam over the German lines."
 Particular attention should be paid to tires. The best of tires need care and attention. Avoid driving in ruts and car tracks. Keep the tires away from oil. Go over the tires periodic ally for small cuts abrasions. When you find any have them attended to immediately by an expert repair man. This is perhaps the most importan: point to watch in tire care-catching the small injuries before dampness and dirt get chance to fester the wounds into big, jagged holes and l blow-outs."

ALLIES WILL NOT OBJECT.

The President, while agreeing with Senator Weeks on the latter's propos- al to make aliens subject to the draft, is inclined, we think, to magnify the diplomatic obstacles to carrying the plan into execution. It is true that we have treaty obligations which mil itate against the use of aliens in a conscripted army, and it is true that treaties have to be negotiated by the President and ratified by the Senate 80 that some delay might be reas- onably expected if the proposal should be pursued along normal channels. But there is no reason for tying the proposition up in red tape. We shall not attempt to conscript German sub- jects, of course; that might prove too risky in case of tight place on a European battlefield German sol- diers, taken into the ranks unwilling ly, might be tempted to surrender or act treacherously in other respects. But as for the alien subjects who may be claimed by the governments of our allies, there is no trouble at all in securing the right to put them into the army. It may be arranged quite as simply as Roosevelt settled the problem of Japanese immigration. No new treaty was made-simply a "gentlemen's agreement" whereby Japanese were not to be admitted here unless they had passports from the Japanese government, which, in it's turn, merely ceased issuing passports for Japanese to come to America. The question taking allied aliens into our army can be settled quite as easily.
