The French peasants who constitute the bulk of the army that is
after the Germans, driving them out, are said to be fighting like mad
because they find that the Germans are destroying everything before
giving up the country. The French soldiers are s. mad that their of
fcers can hardly restrain them. What makes the French the naddest
of all is the wanon saving down of the fruit trees in the orchards
This saving is done so Systematically that the German armies must
have a regularly equipped force for such work. Pear trees, apple
trees and plums and apricots all abound in that region, we believe, and
they have meant much comfort and some wealth to the industrious
peasantry, as we'll as happy hours under the trees for the little children.
Why the retreating armies are doing such work passes human I'M
derstanding. AT first many of us could not believe that they were do
ing it, but the reports seem to be confirmed from so many sources that
it can nc longer be doubted The Associated Press and United Press
correspondents both bear testimony to the fact. The Germans in this
instance had a fine opportunity to leave a better impression of them
selves. If, on retiring, they had shown some thoughtfulness for the
poor peasants whose lands they had invaded, if they had left merely
the fruit trees untouched, the French would have had some kindier
thoughts of them and the world would not have been additionally and
unnecessarily incensed.
OF course, no German peasant farmer would think of doing such
a wanton work-if he does it at all it is only by command of the super
men who run the military. 1t is one more thing we will have to charge
up to Prussan miitarism, the thing which all the world hates most Bit
terly now.

TIME TO SOLIDIFY OUR OWN PEOPLE

In time of peace free speech is one of the invaluable rights guar
anteed by the constitution to every American citizen. In time of war,
TINS guaranty Is properly subject to restrictions. as are other constitu-
tlonal rights that must be subordinated to the necessities of the nations
safety. But there are limits to censorship of speech and press and par
tculary to the manner of exercising the censorship that marks the
difference between a despotsm and an enlightened government. Aid
ing and abettlng the common enemy by furnishing information that
might be used against rs is akin to treason, if not treason itself, but
criticism OF government policies, or criticism of particular officials Of
the government, even of the president, has always been a recognized
right of American citizenship.
The lnlmat1on that government authorities are keeping tab on
people known to have expressed sentiments heretofore adverse to policies
OF the administration, as if they were to be held under suspicion, is
certainly uncaled for, though perhaps more properly cassed under the
heading important if true" There have been and still are great di
visions of opinion in this country on war policy. This is the time
above all when it is most desirable to soidify every element of our
population behind whatever course of action may be decided upon by
the president and congress rather than to draw deeper lines of an
tagonism between them. 1t will not do to assume that difference of
sympathy as between the warning European nations means lack of loyal
devotion to our own country as against any other nation on earth.
Only free discussion in good faith and with patriotic purpose will make
sure the unanimity essential to meet such a crisis as we are passing
through.

THE GUN TOTER

There is no settled mining camp in Nevada that has any room or
any place for the gun toter. He is out of date and out OF tune With
his surroundings. He is a relic. He is o far out of date and SO much a
back number that there ought no longer to be any need tor a law against
him any more than there is present need for the old Nevada law against
camels running at large. But there is such a law, and there IS public
opinion strong enough and entirely sufficient to enforce 1t.
\ few years ago the court and prison records OF the state were
sneared all over with stories of his dongs. He was a factor in So
ciety, but with the planting of school houses and court houses and
newspapers and the advance of American civilization, he has given way
to better things. Once in a while he comes back, as Rip Van Wrinkle
did, but there ISM the kindly and patient consideration for him that
was shown for Rip. And he isn't welcome. There is universal con-
TENT for him and adherence of him. He is a pest, a oathsome, con-
tempible pest. There isn't a community or a neighborhood in Ne
vada that wants him. He hasn't any more business running at large
than a mad dog or a rahid coyote, especially if whisky and the gun
toter are close enough to get together.
mere is a place for the gun toter, provided at public expense, and
WhIe disposed to remain a gun toter, that is the one and only place
for him. And he is the one individual above all others who should be
kept in his place.

SHOULD TRY BERLIN

There was violence at Washington yesterday and last night. This
was to be expected. There is still some red blood in America in spite
of all that has been done by the Prusian propaganda to bleach It
white.
The Held for the Prussan propaganda of peace and opposition to
preparedness was in Prussia and not in Washington. The boycott bv
Germans, claiming to be Americans, on Wilson and those members of
congress who voted to support America and prepare her for defense,
like other similar peace" moves, was prompted and supported BY every
man from the kaiserIs realm who held a certificate of naturalization
obtained by false pretense.
If the Vierecks, the Riders and others who led it have ;ntl,.

PREPARING ON INTELLIGENT LINES

Presence of a grave international situation has had the effect of
somewhat SOLDERING the American people, and while hope for the avoid
ance of war has not been abandoned, all are looking to preparation for
defense with more earnest attention than ever. 1t is now becoming
apparent that out of all the agitation and discussion of the last two
years has come at least a little of good that will be serviceabe to the
country in its crisis. The industrial survey of the country, under
taken nearly two years ago, and carried through by volunteer COM
mtees in the great centers of population, shows now its real value.
Better than ever in all our history the government knows what its own
resources are, and what the private factories of the country can pro-
duce. The weak spots of the system are located in advance, and may
be corrected without the danger of costly experiment. Cooperation
of captains of industry with captains of defense is bringing its benefits,
and, while the contrys defense is far from being complete, the factors
of the problem are better understood, and all the people are better &C
ouained with what will be expected of them The carrying out of the
details that must be attended to if we are called to more definite action
will be all the easier because of the intelligent arrangement of the pre-
liminalieS.

The worlds production of gold in 1916, as estimated BY the Lon

largest portion of the pile, $1o7oooooo; the United States second. with

FACING THE TEST

The most momentous session of the United States congress since
the civil war, if not the most momentous in the history of the republic,
convened at Washington today. On its action hangs not only the
honor but the security, and, in the minds of millions of thoughtful
men, the perpetuity, of the greatest nation the world has known, reared
and advanced under a form of government that is still an experiment
If democracy, if government by the people for the people, is to live on
the same globe with governments of the people by kings and princes
for the glory of kings and princes and emperors, whose practice it is
to exploit their subjects in their own ambitious schemes of royal con-
quest-if government of the people in their own right is not to perish
by the sword of those who would rule by spurious claim of divine
right then the people must defend Themselves by the sword against
those whose weapon has always been the sword.
The issue before congress and the issue before the people is Can
democracy survive unarmeds against the assaults of the military des-
potism armed? ?" The test is directly ahead of us.

THE COLLEGE SPIRIT OF AMERICA

Harvard and Yale and Princeton have left no doubt as to what
they stand for in America. The alumni and the students of those
great universities come to the front as patriots, almost to a man. In
event of war the colleges of the country will give a good account of
themselves, an account that will have to compel many men to read
lust their views of American education. Sometimes these young men
seem petty enough in their aims as they lounge about with cigarettes
and in automobiles, but the blood of America is still in their veins and
it needs simply the call to duty to arouse it in them. They will go as
far as their prandfathers did in the DAYS Of the civil war, when the col
leges were empted of their students.
The opportunity for the young manhood of America to show what
if is composed of is almost to be coveted, no matter what it costs. 1t
is such a splendid thing to see these patriotic demonstrations that one
can almost be reconcned. even to the evils of war. 1t is almost worth
the price that we shall have to pay ever if the worst comes OF the
present situation.

Truly these are parlous days for royal hangers-on. A number of
German princeGngs welded to the house of Hanover have been separ-

dukes are similarly canned. The possibility of ROYALTY being forced
to honest toll somewhat lghtens the horrors of war.

The pictures of the CHASTITY side of batlefields for the moment

Maybe in the benighted regions of New
York, foxes, following the example of the

event it would be necessary, before con-

PERMANENT REFORM.

If the belated activity against gambling
and liquor violations reflect sincere de-
termination to make a clean town of Pen
sacola and keep it So the authorities will re-
ceive the thankful cooperation of all decent
people But if it is sporadic outburst of
virtue, more hypocritical than helpful,
whose only end is to gather tribute from the
interests to be carefully protected the rest
of the time, then Pensacola will be great
deal better off without the unwholesome
advertising, and the law abiding element
will be spared the suffering of dying hope.
Even though the bar rooms that were
allowed to operate after legal hours last
week should now be prosecuted, the ques-
ton presents itself, Why were they allowed
to operate? Why is only the avenging
principle of the law invoked? Why was it
not used to protect the weak against them
selves and society against lawlessness?
Again why is-and was-nothing done
about women drinking in the establish
ments above mentioned? Not only women.
but in some cases minor girls?
Why, too, were.lotteries and prohibited
games allowed to flourish openly on our
streets last week and the week preceding?
A charitable Interpretation and one that
we hope is correct, is that the authorities
simply nodded. We can forgive an honest
mistake but not wilful collision
Sheriff Van Pelt's efforts towards rout-
ing out the blind tigers have created ia
vorable impression-here was man, the
people told themselves, who was not afraid
to live up to his oath. But caging one tiger
and breaking up one game does not make
clean town. Illicit liquor is still flowing,
and nearly everybody knows its sources,
and who will doubt that there are scores of
tables left?
This is no sanctimonius screed; but the
time has come for US to know if Pensacola
is to be law abiding or not, if it is to be run
on the loose principles of Latin America, or
if it is to keep step with the United States

HANDS
IN RESIGNATION

Parties from Bay county, Florida,
yesterday reported that A. D. Weller,
who was elected to the legislature
from that county in the recent cleo
ton, had rendered his resignation to
the governor, announcing his business
would prevent him from ACCEPTING the
office, and going to Tallahassee for
the coming session.
Mr.. Weller has a great many
friends in Pensacola, where he has
resided for some time, and where he
is well-known. Some years ago, GO
ing into the wholesale fish business,
he decided to take up his residence
in Bay county, and his success has
been notable from the first His es-
TEEN in the public's estimation is at
tested by the magnificent vote accord
ed him in the recent primary, when
he was nominated to the office of
representative from that county.
There were several reported to
have been offering themselves for the
office, the latest of which is W. n.
Swain, who makes public his platform
in very strong terms. He is against
the fee system, favors guaranteed
bank deposits, favors readjustment of
of the jury system to eliminate the
court house hangeron"; ebolishing
the office of she'll fish commissioner,
etc, all of which he announces to the
public in support of his candidacy.

FOXES UP A TREE.

1t appears that foxes do climb trees after
all.
Editorially discussing the subject, The
New York Herald was virtuously and vi
brantly indignant at the thought that so
ast1te an animal should ever be up a stump
or anything approaching it-for if tree is
not a stump in esse, it is, in posse-and re-
ferred to US for confirmation that Reynard,
when hard pressed sconced himself in some
friendly hole and never under any circum-
stances took to the tall timber
Not being prepared to dispute our col
league-for while we have some knowledge
of foxology in its lower branches, as APP
piled to dancing our education in the more
advanced science and its relation to soli-
tude, has been sadly neglected-we invoked
the principle of the referendum and sub
mitted the matter to the public
We now learn from G. F. Tanner of 219
West Romano street, that several DAYS ago
when he was on a fox hunt in the Little
Bayou region, couple of miles from Pensa-
cola, the hero of so many fables, after a
chase lasting an hour and half, took to a
tree. That this is a trait not peculiar to
town foxes, is stated by A. J. Mackey, who
inhabits an orchard near Gonzalez, who
states that any swamp bred, country raised
fox without college education, will do the
same thing, if the tree has slight slant and
if there are some branches to help him up.
This last is obscure. According to our re
collection, a fox, when he is in a hurry,
doesn't need any help. The branches must
