LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Meet conditions Like Men.

Mir. EdieOr: g It is very fortunate for usF that Great Britain has Germany blockaded. If it were not a fact we would have a Germany army with Germany sympathizers foclking to it's support on our shores. We are face to face with one of the gravest condi- tions we have ever faced What are we doing? Practically nothing Menaced by cosmopolitan condition and luke warm patriotic American born and American adopted condition, our congress failing to meet the issue squarely, face to face with the Hkeli- hood of a world wide food famine, no feeling satisfied to make money, the farmers planting less and less all over the country owing to lack of help, all seems to be willing to let someone else perform patriotic service while we take chance al 1d make money. forget ting God and Country.
 Americans, do you remember that our country was bought and paid for by the blood of the heroes of 1776. do you realize that if ever your country was in danger i+ is now. do you realize that wherever Old Glory has been un-- furled it waves today, and that today she is in more danger of lowing her head in shame than ever before owing to the conditions we are face to face with? If congress gives our presi- dent universal support now, not a year from now. if our government realizes that our soldier boys need and deserve sufficient financial support to guaran- tee that dear ones at home will be provided for now. if our government will give the farmers the help they need, labor and some financial guar antee of their crops against failure: if our government does this and does it quick, God and ourselves can save our country.
 Let us forget everything but love of God and country. The time for agru- ment has past We are up against serious condition. Let us meet it like men.

It is a pity that war can be thrust upon any nation. The men who have furnished the truest definitions of war are those who have been engaged in it. It was Napoleon who said war ''Is the business of barbarians: 9 Wellington wrote: "The next dreadful thing to3a- battle lost is a battle 7von;" Napier was of the opinion that Sue cess in war, like charity in religion, covers a multitude of sins" Franklin joints out: There was never a good war or a bad peace.'' And Shakes peare saluting War says. Thou son of he'll" War is the fruit of wicl1edness, as Defence Is the child of necessity. Nobody deplores war more than the brave-none will go farther to estab-s fish honorable and tasting peace We must acknowledge Thomson was right when he said: Peace is the happy, natural state of man; war is corrup- ton and disgrace" War for conquest, or revenge is a crime-war for the defence of human rights and the pre- servation of government is a. neces- sity; but as Bovee has said: While war saves the state is impairs the citlzen." Let us hope that America will keep sane and only seek by vio- lence that which is just.

SNOWFLAKE PRECINCT IN
 WHICH CAMPBELL HAD
 MAJORITY |S THROWN OUT

PHOENIN. \!nir 1l-In the superio, court to- day, Judge R. ( Stanford granted the motion of a'- torneys for Governor Hunt to strike out the Snow flake precinct. where Tom Campbell had majOrity of 11i votes.
 Unless the court grants the motion of Governor Campbell's attorneys strike out v Hunt ballots which do not agree with poll lists, this action will seat ey-tiOI eInor Hunt
 Ii the court grants the latter motion, Governor Campbell will have majority of seventeen votes.
 Judge Stanford gave for his action. The evidence showed that challenger insinuated in the argument to be Mormon bishop of influence assisted his wife. sep-mother and three other old ladies between the of 60 and 9O at their request and with the consent of the election board before copy of the election laws procured also that the democratic election judge, brought to Phoenix witness for Hunt. may have helped young girl vOt- CT mark ballot for the supreme judge. The latter evidence may be for the purpose of perfecting ap peal
 The decision had been anticipated by Campbells attorneys since the court went outside of the evi dence to find the main reason for throwing out the Douglas precinct. The ballots themselves in Doug las showed difference of 100 votes and the whole proceedings questioned for the that the total of 23 majority there for Hunt should be lost.

SOUTHWESTERN FOREST
 RANGES SHOW IMPROVEMENT

ALBUoPERoUE. N. M. April H.. The Secretary of Agriculture has au- thorized the Forest Supervisors of Arizona and New Mexico. to issue grazing permits for 1917, aggregat- ing 4ss.e00 cattle and horses, sS1 ,0ao sheep and goats, and 25.o00 swine. The number of cattle and horses Is 10 per cent greater than last year. and the number of sheep and goats per cent less, according to Paul c. Redington. District Forester. The net increase is figured to be equiva- lent to 3e.oo0 cattle. In the opinion of the grazing specialists of the For est Service. this represents roughly the years improvement in the carry ing capacity of the National Forest ranges. The increased capacity is ascribed to the development of water by stockmen on hitherto dry range. better handling and distribution of stock. the gradual elimination of oversrazing. and the prevention of fires.
