TREASON AND
THE TRAITORS
(RY Letson BaIIietl

Yesterday mornings Tonopah Times
contained a splendid editorial entitled
"Conscript Them" suggesting that
the ]. w. WIS who are interfering
with the production of useful COM
modities in the United States be con-
scripted. This editorial met with
popular approval and was much com.
mented upon during the day.
This war in which we are now en-
gagged is the peoples war against
monarchy. The people must govern
themselves; the democracy OF the
world must rise or fall upon the re-
suit of this war.
In Europe the term socialist" is
applied TO all who are opposed to the
monarchial form of government and
arIstocraCy's control. Socialism of
Europe Is the same as democracy OF
tins country. The overthrowing OF
kings and empires, and establish
ment of republics in which the people
have the right to elect their own rep.
resentatives is the desire of the social.
lists of Europe. and the entire popu.
lace OF the United States. regardless

The fate OF international democ
racy depends upon the result of the
present war. IL the kaiser wins, he
becomes the dictator on land and sea
not only OF the nations engaged in
the strife but over all neutrals as
woll. who will be powerless to resist
| him, and who will not dare to make
| laws in their own country that would
| displeasc the kaiser. In such an
event no neutral nation would ever
dare put duty or Il tax upon a Ger
man product. II democracy wins
then all nations will be free to gov
ern themselves, without artistocrac!
| control.
The success OF the peoples arm!
and the democracy of the world will
be decided by the efficiency of tht
United States in the production ant
distribution of the domestic. industrial
and military commodities.
Therefore, any individual or soci
ETY. or aggregation OF individuals tina
tries to interfere with the production
OF any commodity In the Unite
States is in reality guilty of treason.

WILL DEAL WITH
THE SLACKERS
Judge Doughty Gives Views on
SIackers Who Lie to Sa-
loon Keepers

In conversation with Judge Doughty
today he said that II had been called
to his attention that there are a num-
Der OF young men who drink freely
over the bars, yet on registration day
they claimed that they were under
twenty one. the minimum age limit
These young men are said TO have
given their ages to saloon keepers as
over twenty-onc.
There are laws in the state which
make the serving OF liquors 10 minors
u crime which is punishable by both
fine and Imprisonment. There is also n
law designed to prohibit minors from
freauenting saloons. These laws are
! going To be enforced and we Judge
that II Is going to be sorry day
for the young man who has claimed
to be over twenty.Onc when he wanted
10 drink, and under twenty.one on
registration day.
Judge Doughty rightly says that
saloon keepers are not TO blame for
serving drinks to young men when
they honestly believe them TO be over
twenty-one and when they are so in
formed by the young men themselves.
Consequently there is n sorry day
ahead OF the Stacker II he persists in
his deception of saloon keepers.
We Judge that after the first case
Is disposed of that several young men
