BY D. II. Doty.
Sir Kaiser ! am sorry
I cannot grant your prayer.
The reason is so plainly seen
From here. il not from there.
You slaughtered those poor 6elsans
Who had done you no harm.
You burned their homes and Children
And ruined all their farms.
You humbled poor old Johnny Bull
And sunk his battleships.
Killed many thousand Frenchmen
And licked your bloody lips.
But say. Sir Kaiser William.
You sure did strike snae.
When you tackled my Son Samm'e
And then began to brag.
That you would make him pay for all
Because he has the gold.
But pride aoeth before fall
In the Good Book you are told.
You ask me to help you now
To whip my favorite child,
What has he ever done to you
To make you get so wild?
Is is because he stands for love
And friendship to the end.
Or that he wants Democracy
To rule the hearts Of men?
I helped him lick Johnny Bull
And the naughty spanards, too.
So now ! think its just the time
help him to,lick you. .
When my son Sam gets thru with

haven't any doubt,
There's not enough Of your men left.
To raise a decent shout.
You want to be the boss Of earth
But that is stlt my job,
You've got to be put out of biz
SO the world you cannot rob.
SO M whisper to son Sammie
Some secrets that know.
And to "Davie Jones' Locker"
Your submarines will 90.
I've thought Of just the place for you,
And il will suit you we'll,

And make you the boss Of III.

TROOPS PROTECT OPERATIONS

MIAMI, Aug. 20-Under protection Of United States troops under com mand of Lieutenant Colonel George P. White, the Miami Copper company will resume operations within a few days, it was announced by the com pany today.
 In a statement made public today Colonel White promised protection to all who desired to return to work. The statement follows:
 The federal government is anxious that working conditions in this min ing district be resumed and the con- manding officer of the troops is eager to see work start again in all sec tions, not only for the benefit of the country itself but also to far greater extent of the individuals who at pres ent are out of employment. For this purpose, troops stationed in this dis trict under my command will be used to furnish protection in person and prGperty to any of the men who desire to 90 to work

 In referring to alleged disloyalty on the part of the I. w. w. Governor Campbell says:
 But the principles of the I. w. w.. are a stench in the nostrils of decent Americans, and insofar as my power as governor of Arizona extends, I shall not tolerate, in the remotest de- gree, their application in Arizona. They are menace to civic well-being and industrial progress in times of peace. Federation of such doctrines during a state of war is treason
 Campbell told the Cochise county authorities that 'Henceforth, I shall look to the officials of Cochise and all Arizona counties for cooperation in the enforcement of the laws. It will be a disgraceful blot on the his- tory of this state if we, the respons- ible officers are obliged to admit that our proper functions for administra- tion and preservation of law and or. der have broken down and that as a last resort martial law must be fn- yoked ;"

CAM P'bELL SLAPS BOTH l. W. W. AND
 B|SBEE|TES

PHOENIX, Aug. 20.-3oth sides of the controversy between the I. w. W. and the citizens of the Loyalty League of Bisbee were severely taken to task by Governor Campbell in his first pub lie statment since his personal inves- tieation of the Warren district troubles. He gave out the statement today.
 The methods of deporting the men without due process of law were de clared by the governor to be without justification, while the tactics alleged to have been adopted by the members of the I. w. W. were characterized as a ''stench" in the nostrils of decent Americans"
 The statment was in the form of letter to Sheriff Wheeler and Coun- ty Attorney Ross of Cochise county and Mayor Erickson of Bisbee.
 The method used in presenting the demands to the mine owners and the calling of the strike immediately thereafter without resort to refer endum on the part of those affected was unfair" declared the governor. 'The tactics used by the strikers, the preaching of impossible doctrines and the ridiculing of natural war policies, of intimidation, interference, insult, assault and threats of violence to life and property, brought about reign of terror, invading the rights of the whole body politics of the district. |"
 Referring to the deportations he said:
 The deportation of July 12th and those subsequently thereto were ille- gal. All the deported persons were entitled to the full legal rights se-

Fofher Of Mrs.. Lottte hdy Hoasiup
Brandon, toho tooS murdered IN her
home at An0poHs Wednesday.
Next to finding out who killed my
daughter. I believe the most important
thing l should do Is to clear the name
OF my son-in-law. Valentine N. Bran
don. from any shred Of suspicion that
may cling to him. never for mo-
ment placed any faith in the suspicious
Of the police and some others which
were directed toward him. and I want
through the columns OF The Times to
say that such suspicious were most IN
Just.
wal" was never anything but =
model husband, and no better SON
in-law ever lived. He loved LottiS,
his wife, better than he loved his
life. He would have died for her md
the child that was about to be born
to them. i was well acquainted with
him and his attitude toward her,
both before and after their marriage.
and nothing she could have done
would ever have made him raise his
hand against her.
Sad as this AFFAIR has been for all
OF us. the blow has fallen heaviest on
him. Therefore IL Is cruel to sus-
pect him OF having any guilty knowl-
edge of the murder OF his wife. GOD
knows he has suffered enough since
he kissed her goodbye for the last
time on wednesday morning. and
through the kindness of The Times, I
who knew him best want to tell the
people of Washington that . more
tender, loving husband never lived
than Valentine Brandon
