cedure wherein the guilt Of the publishers of the American Social ist or Solidarity had been proven without any question, as violating the laws of the and, the seizure Of the mailing list was not only un- constitutional but an arbitrary usuTpation upon the part of the ex- ecutive function of government. The courts of the land are provided for the administration of law and justice The man who breaks the law hereunder subjects himself to the punitive treatment provided for such infractions. The judicial function is among other things for the purpose of deciding upon the guilt or innocence, and consequent ly the acquittal or the punishment of the person charged with viola ton of law.
 To adopt measures which are for oign to the spirit of these demo- cratic rights which American citi zens possess, IS to introduce @ spirit of despotism in a land Consecrated to freedom.
 It is alleged that these papers and these associations or persons arc in spirit disloyal to American institutions But that is merely an allegation, and until proper proof of that disloyalty, that trea- son and that sedition is submitted the accused persons are innocent in the eyes of the law
 We cannot look lightly upon acts which are arbitary. Furthermore today it is essential that above all tines the spirit of democratic free dom should inspire the administra ton of affairs by the judicial, the executive and the legislation funC tions of government. If this is !" war for democracy and to make it safe for the world, the democratic institutions which are legacy from the Revolution must be cherished and preserved and upheld as never before.
 It appears to the Industrial Worker that officials today facing condition amounts in reality tc an economic crisis, regard an eco homie agitation as disloyalty. In point of fact the efforts of the workers to better their conditions are misunderstood by men whose salaries prevent them from realiz- ing the condition which all so many of the workers face. Not un- derstanding this condition, they fail to sec the moving force of these labor and industrial agitations that are stirring the country and assign as the cause, just as the employers say, a spirit of treason, disloyalty and seditiCn abroad the land.
 Nothing could be farther from the truth. An examination Of the men who were deported from Bis l be showed that most of them had contributed their scanty savings to the government bonds; that most of them had donated to the Red Cross, that all had who were of re- gistration age duly complied with the law, that some had volunteered their services for active work under l the Red Cross

 persons because they endeavored to compel one of the most corrupt ! (politically and otherwise) associa- tions in the industrial world to pay higher wages and provide better working conditions.
 Failure to take stock of the eco homie foundation of this lebGr strife that is declared to be treason able is we think the cause of all this trouble. We don't know why we should believe that those sub jected to unfair conditions of labor should need any German money to demand better conditions. We do not think they do. We believe they have as much spunk in the Amer ican labor movement and in the American labor world as any part of this earth, and it is not necessary to bribe men to resist what they conceive to be wrong.
 We say advisedly and emphati cally and without any kind of re- servation that if any labor leader or labor organization took the strife in the industrial world, to promote labor troubles and dis affection they should be held up to the loathing of the nation. They should be properly punished by the workers themselves whom they be- tray in this manner. But we say that it is an unthinkable proposi- tion that this state of things could continue without the government agents being fully aware of it. be- cause according to their own state mcnt they have already investigated ,, the matter fully and found no such condition.
 It is playing into the hands of the employers who would crush unionism when their halls are in vadcd, their papers seized and they are denied the mailing privileges. Such action is calculated not to restore the loyalty. where loyalty is waningr but to excite a spirit of revolt which will be fatal to the proper carrying on of this war for the purpose of making the world safe for democracy. Nothing that we know of is so calculated to drive the working classes, now agi- tated with high costs of living and efforts to remove their hard earned privileges from them beyond bear l ing, than these arbitary official acts
 which vii! only excite d thrill of l joy among those privileged casses whose ideal of things is not de-
 mocracy, broad as the nations area,
 but an industrial servitude when all the machinery of government
 can be used to compel submission
 and docility to the most abandoned and the most rigorous eXploiter posing as a patriot.

COTTONSEED FLOUR
 LATEST FOR BREAD
(From Wednesday's Dailv.J

PHOENIX, Nov. 20.-Considering the large yield of surplus cottonsecd in the Salt River, Yuma and Casa Grandc valleys, there is local consid- cration of possible use of cottonsccd flour in making bread. This has been worked out very well in the Univcr- sity of Texas with the result of pro- ducing a very palatablc brand of cot tonsecd flour. In its manufacture the kernel has been subjected to roast ing process, and the meal has been highly boltcd, with the result that the greater part of the resin and fibre have been removed and q light col orcd flour of fine texture and of pleas ant nutty flavor is produced. The analysis of the cottonsccd flour as furnished by c. s. Traps. chemist, Texas Agriculture and Mining college, is as follows: Protein. OLD; fat, 40: crude fiber, 305; nitrogcn-frec cx- tract, 22.22: water, 6.l4; ash, GOO.

grazing privileges on lands within the different national forests indicates that in general the fees charged this year are still below the real value oi the forage. In the meantime, many important changes have taken place due to the present war conditions and the stocxmen have been called upon to overcome many difficulties in orde rto keep up the country's supply of beef, mutton, hides and wool, not only for our own use but also to help meet the needs of the Allies.
 ''In view of this situation, I have decided to defer action in connection with any further increase in grazing fees on the national forests for the present"
 The secretary's letter also states that no long term grazing permits will be issued, because of the need for a maximum of elasticity in grazing allotments, necessary to insure max imum of meat production for war pur- poses. The issuance of long term permits would prevent forest officers from making the many readjustments necessary to stock all the range to its maximum capacity.

 TINS FROM BIRCH FAMILY
CFrom Wednesdays Daily !


 Two of the members of the Birch family of this city opened little sur prise package for their many friends hcrcabouts, the surprise coming m the shape of an announcement yesterday that Miss Frances Birch had become the bride of Mr. Hector Ross, prom incnt farmer al Hamilton, \. D., on October 18th last, and that William King, a well known young man of this city and nephew of Robert and Sidney Birch, had on October 4th, been united in marriage to Miss Edna Wiedcman, an attractive young wom- an of Columbus, Wis.
 While the immediate members of the family knew of the contemplated weddings, the many friends of Miss Birch and Mir. King were left quite in the dark regarding their matrimonial intentions, and the first inkling of the weddings was had when Mir. King and his bride arrived in this city ycstcr- day afternoon after having spent their honeymoon visiting many points in North Dakota and Minnesota. Fol lowing his arrival here, Billy owned up and the announcement of the mar riage of his aunt was also made.
 Miss Birch left Prescott several weeks ago, her acquaintanccs being told that the trip East was merely bit of recreation which Miss Birch had earned by her attentive care to her father and mother who passed away in this city in the late Summer However, Miss Birch kept her real in tentions to herself and went directly to Hamilton, where she joined her fiancc. They were united in marriage a short time later, and will make their home near Hamilton, on the farm Of Mir. Ross.
 The beginning of Mir. Kings TO- mance dates back to about one year ago, al which time Miss Wicdeman came to Prescott for a visit at the home of MT. and Mrs. w. A. David son. The young folks met each other after Miss Wcidcman had been here a short time, and their mutual regard led them along path which tcrmin- atcd at the altar. Mir. King is a boilermaker employed in the local shops of the Santa l'c, and Is a young fellow with host of friends here abouts. Mrs. King was a trained nurse and is in other ways also a tal- cntcd young woman with a most win ming personality. The happy couple will make their home on North Mo Cormick street in this city.

EAT PLENTY BUT
 WISELY, SAYS RIORDAN

PHOENIX, Nov. 23-Food Admin istrator Riordan is finding that many people still have an idea that they are being asked to deprive themselves of necessary food and that personal economy is demanded of them. Noth- ing IS further from the truth. Food conservation" he says, 'does not mean that Americans are themselves to go hungry. The government IS employing all the means at its dispos- al in an effort to assure every man, woman and child a sufficiency of wholesome. palatablc and nutritious food. We have more than enough for ourselves in America, and if distribu- ton and prices can be properly con trollcd there will be no reason for suffering anywhere in our country.
 Tt does not mean that we arc to hoard up foodstuffs for fear we shall not have enough at some unknown time in the future. Such a policy would be the direct reverse of what is desired. For the farmers to hold back the supplies with which their barns and larders arc filled and the city people who have money to buy up and lay away vast stores of food which they do not need at the present time would be to defeat the very thing at which the government is aiming. There IS no probability of greater scarcity in the future for us Ameri- cans than IS now upon us. Don't hoard. Hoarding withholdS food from the Allies and boosts the cost of liv- ing for ourselves.
 Tt does mean just two very def mite things. In the first place food conservation means that nobody shall waste any foodstuffs of any kind. The dwellcrs in the towns and cities who must buy most that they cat should waste nothing. Doubtless the high prices that prevail at present will pre- vent much cause for complaint here. The garbage barrel should receive nothing that can be used on the table"

The matter of the formation of the board will be taken up at the next session of congress, and everyone should take it upon themselves to get into communication with their con gressman and senators and suggest that these officials back up MT. Will son in his effort to create such con trolling body. We arc in this war for stretch of at least two years, and the sooner that efficiency is made to take the place of lost motion and fric- ton, the sooner our ends can be ac- romplishcd.
 But the ono big fact is this: All of this talk of patriotism. and all of the many contributions which the nation is making toward the benevolent or ganizationS connected with soldier life arc all fine in their place. but what the United States must do and do quickly is to place rifles in the hands of its youths, get the young fellows over to Europe and get them started as soon as possible in the pleasant pastime of killing as many Dutchmcn as possible. The only way to treat (for the present at lcasD with Ger man is with Springfield rife, and the sooner the Huns arc treated the sooner the United States will be rid of its unpleasant though highly ncces- sary duty"

SILVER HISTORY IS

CFrom Saturdays Daiiy.)

Arrivals yesterday from Turkey creek brought news of silver strike having taken place, tho lucky owner being a miner named McCluskcy, who recently entered that field from Southern Arizona.
 Nothing definite could De asccr- taincd as to the extent of the bonanza showing, other than the mine was near the old Pine Spring. few miles from Goodwin. and its product was identical 10 that mine in horn silver abounding at the grasS-roots.
 The McCluskcy strike is naturally occasioning very much interest as it recalls the carly day stampede that followed after the Pine Spring strike, over S55,00O in native silver being re- covered at depth of not over six feet. It was his knowledge of the old time record which prompted McClus- key to prospect that belt, and success seems to have followed his efforts. There is at the present time moro prospecting for silver mines going on along Turkey creek than known in many years. and in addition many of the oldest mines are under ucgotia- ton of sale. The highest grade ore from the Pine Spring was valued at T,500 per ton, when silver was Sl.lS an ounce.
