LABOR MEN ASK
 SAFE CONDUCT
[Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

BISBEE, Aug. 7.-The State Fedora tion of Labor, in meeting at Clifton this morning appointed a committee of six men to go to Bisbee and report on
 the conditions existing in this camp. according to reliable advices received
 here. The committee consists of Bert
 Davis, P. J. Croaff Phil Galentine, P.
 M. Vargas, E. T. Mccoy, and John Murray.
 There is but one train a day out Of Clifton, leaving there at six in the
 morning. As most of the traffic to
 Lordsburg is by automobile it is thought here the committee may have
 taken machines and may have gone to Hatchta where train connection to
 Eisbee could be made. bringing the committee into Bisbee this evening. So
 far, tonight, Mayor Jacob Erickson has
 received no message from Governor Campbell relative to the proposed visit
 of the federation's committee.
 Wiley E. Jones, attorney general, l acknowledged he had received word
 this evening of the proposed visit, but
 refused to comment on it.
 delePatiCn from the state fedora = tion of labor convention at Clifton lost night was on the way to Bisbee to in-
 vestigate the deportation of the miners from Risbee on July 12. Governor
 Campbell was apprised by Secretary T. A. French of the convention of the appointment of the delegates and he
 was asked to give official protection to the members who are Bert Davis, T. J Craoff, Phil Galentine, H. M. Vargas, D. T. Mccoy and John Murray. The governor, of course, could afford
 no more effective protection than he gave to Attorney Fred H. More, but he willingly gave that. The governor wired the mayor of Bsbee, Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler and Attorney Gen. eral Jones requesting them to secure consideration for the visiting delega- = tiOn

An Official Document Now

The of the United States deemed the Dis closures of Gerard" of great national importance that yesterday ordered by resolution the first in of disclosures that printed in The Re- publican last Sunday morning, printed in The Con- gressional Record great many things of no special have been printed in the Record 'by leave" But far recall this is the first time that private document has been given endorsement. and in this way made official document.
 This endorsement may not have been needed to make the document convincing but it brings before the country the first time in official way the seriousness of the task which have for selves. Other official utterances have hestated halted and stammered in describing the task. They have told only in a vague way that it is serious and that there be combination of effort to it. That is not impressive. The people want facts and generaiites.

It Depends

President Wilson said weeks ago that scription is not stigma; that the contrary 1t is an honor conferred or rather thrust the selected man. All were not convinced, and perhaps very few convinced, by the simple presidential declara- ton without explanation and Senator J. Ham. Lewis, who has constituted himself the translator interpreter of the presidents sometimes cryptic utterances offered
 writer in the New York Tribune. however, plains why conscription is stigma:
 It is the height of folly and injustice for anyone to imply that with conscription there blemish If volunteers the only patriots then there is sad dearth of national fidelity and service in this deserv ing land
 The safety and sanity of conscription obvious. All the citizens of the country volunteer be- of the obigating of their home and business life But the draft is like wand. First pertaining that fit and convinced of the need for his help hough submissive to the selecting pro- cess) when it touches him all changes like magic and he is released from important home ties without the feeling of shirng and neglectng very necessary re- lations. When a is drafted there be proach complaint from those at home, for then truly is he answering his country's call Such reg ulaton solves admirably the problem of the married So does it answer the problem for millions of others who have sound personal objections and in convenences that deter them from voluntary enlist ment.
 But after all. whether stigma attaches to conscrp- tion depends wholly upon the conscript msef-the in which he conducts himself If after he has been selected; if after he has passed physical animation he still tries to "wggle of it. and fails, very considerable stigma attaches to him. If he puts claim of dependency when there is no one absolutely depending upon him. the wand which has touched him has converted him into burning patriot.
 If he persists in asserting that he is necessary to the agricultural and industrial welfare of the country when it is the business of the government to deter mine whether it needs him on the farm or in factory than in the trenches, he has not been changed like magic a self sacrificing hero.

Boards and Commissions


 Though General Goethals. late general manager of the fleet corporation is of the public service his laconic cynical and pointed definition of boards commissions and similar bodies to which We are much addicted full of meaning it when the general struggling in vain for efficiency in the shipping board.
 "A board" said General Goethas, lis something long, and wooden"
 The board the commission has always failed in face of great emergency undertaking and yet stick to it something essentially American Efficiency without board commission committee is essentially American. The accomplishment of any achievement in this country. large small without palaver and compromise and delay is also un-American The most un-Amercan outrage perpetrated the construction of the Panama canal
 The commission the board is the insignia of democracy and it has proper place Rather mean in some cases where nothing of great moment is involved commissions and boards may without improprety and harmlessly for instance in town meetings and generally where diverse geographical interests concerned
 We in fair way where boards and commissions be safely advantageously employed-for instance, in War cannot be ducted by democratic methods. There the democracy must borrow the weapons of autocracy. Republican France automatically adopted them and the blunder ing of democratic Great Britain has been the gen. eral direction of the weapons of autocracy We have a fine illustration in Russia of of boards and councils and commissions
 A nation peace may choose such it pleases. wasteful efficient It may do in war but then 1t pay the penalty of nefficiency If going to preserve democracy in any of its forms in warfare why not preserve it in all its forms? Why not "go the whole hog" according sugges- tons of MT Bryan and MT La Toilette, and decide by popular vote whether shall be at at all or not2 And why do not elect army officers and de- people?
 But we shall learn. It may be bitter and costly lesson and it may be learned We shall anyhow have the consolation some time of knowing that we are wiser than we were. That consolation may be strongly tinctured with regret
 Congress which should be the first learn Is the last It is still clnging desperately to the commission mittee the food control commission. Either of these bodies might easily prevent the carrying out of legislation They would be much likely do than not. There Is not the slightest for the existence of either body. There be diverse geographical interest in the execution of legislation. All equally interested in the out of the war-its It's failure. We may poyed, but while threshing those differ will be employed We will be at standstill

"Prophecies"


 The war has produced among other things, pro- dgious digging into od-tme sayings and prophecies supposed have bearing the world struggle. We have been led far back to the Revelations of St. John. It inevitable that Mother Shipton's Prophecy" which reprinted in The Republican yesterday, should be resurrected, reprinted and brought up date. This prophecy is supposed does now of string of doggerel containing in eral way predictions of coming events and inventions and ending with forecast of the end of the world a certain date than a century past
 In 1873 Mother Shptons Prophecy" it's rounds again. with more doggerel accounting for and inventions it's appearance. It is strange. therefore that it impressed many who only remembered that the prophecy ancient one, but who did recall its original form and therefore accepted this the original Mother Shipton's stock naturally above par According to this prophecy the world end in 1881 Charles Hindley subsequently, admitted that the author of the added doggerel.
 Now have the prophecy in its new form, for wonderful things have happened, far beyond the imagination of Hindley in 1873. A prophecy which had omitted them could have been much of a prophecy, they included. But we observe that the reviser of the prophecy has omitted of the date of the end of world That experience has taught is elusive date unsafe for prophets to monkey with.
 We will. however, say this for Mother Shptons Prophecy" There is other its bearing on the
