COLONEL BIRDS IDEA

"It seems strange that the northern contemporary should endeavor to con- vey the idea that it takes money to start newspaper or disturbance. Unlimited gall is all that is necessary in either case. No one with money ever starts a newspaper. The man who has the needful knows too we'll it's value to risk it in that way.
 The man who starts a newspaper is one who has the gift of making others produce for his benefit. And, nine times out of ten, he finds he has started something he cannot stop Either the sheriff does that for him or else he is fired by his creditors who put in someone else hoping the new man will work out the debt So the inquiry by Colonel Breen is inappro- priate. Instead of 'How did you ge, the money to start the trouble and the newspaper" it would be more appropriate to inquire "Are you going to stop it yourself, or will the sheriff do it it?"-Nogales Oasis.

OUR VOICE WILL BE HEARD

Our entry into the war against Germany means that in postwar trade negotiations We will be in a position to take an active part. There are constitutional limitations on our handling of the tariff whfich make a bargaining tariff impracticable. Con- gress is prohibited from delegating to any man or body of men the function of tariff rate-making on our imports because it has to do with the reve- nues. It is pity some of our legis- lators can not get that through their heads. But there is no constitutional prohibition against the adoption of maximum and minimum rates oi duty, and it is highly probable that that much maligned and highly ef. fective Republican principle will again be brought to the fore when we come to consider the qaid pro quos of war-weary world.

ively, as the 'shoddy aristocracy.' Things were little better when the Spanish War came along, and all kinds of junk, from embalmed beef to worthless ships were palmed off on the country at exorbitant prices" The Times thinks there is no danger of such experience during the present war, but disclosures of fraud in Can ada few months ago are likely to leave most people with the idea that relaxation of vigilance upon the theo- ry that twentieth century civilization has made all men honest, is unwise. There is much good sense in the sug- gestion that Congress should appoint joint committee on the conduct of the war, which committee could guard against many mistakes ofv policy as we'll as keep an eye open for irregul- arities that would lead to scandal. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts and Representative Madden, of Illinois, who have introduced resolutions for the appointment of such committee, are themselves men of large business experience and fully appreciate the need of careful supervision of expend- itures and policies.

ENCOURAGE ENTERPRIsE

No foreign enemy can conquer the United States. When America's pow CT wanes, it will be because of weak ness within. Internal weakness can come only form a decadence of indi- viduals--a loss of individual initiat- i've, individual efficiency, individual in- tegrity or individual courage. Our future depends upon the encourage ment of enterprise, ability, honesty and fearlessness. Nothing in govern mental activity should be permitted to discourage the development of any of these essentials of a high standard of citizenship. If we ever become a nation of molly-coddles we shall be easily whipped, and ought to be.

DAWNING OF A NEW ERA

America's part in the present world war will not be mere parade. The best brains of the country are for organizing every available resource. The war may be long or it may be short. It now looks as though but 8 few months will settle the present world confagration. The effort now to be made is to settle war for all time. There is no intermediate grounds and the vast resources of the United States should be used to their utmost limit in helping to produce that result. There is no use in at tempting to merely cover up a smold- ering volcano, it must be extinguished completely and for all time. Men are willing to offer their lives for a prin- ciple, but not for any man-made, per sonal power.
 If this war is settled as it should be, there will be no more talk of Jap an or Mexico invading America, half or more of which is but veritable rot
 Arousing America to her full duty in the present hour of physical strife for a mastery of the world of free dom, is not confined to the boundary lines of nations. or crowns, or creeds but an amalgamation of the peoples of the world into a society for the ad- vancement of mankind.
 That great day is almost heresand the biggest brains of the earth are working for that end. What can each individual offer?

The broad mantle of charity covers multitude of sin, but Brother Chap man of the Winslow Mail seems to have Topped his over a cockleburr, in advocating the theory that man should live in accord with his fellow man instead of attempting to be a flaming sword with stomach full of words, He was called "dirty pup" for his pains by the self-annointed evangelist" We have often won- dered how intelligent people could stand for the Billy Sundayized brand of insulting billingsgate, language they would be mortified at and not permitted in their own home, yet who seem to think this putrid stuff is a new rough rider route to the happy land beyond.

WHY PERKINS FAILED

George Perkins, chairman of Mayor Mitchels Food and Market Commit tee, New York, (Paternal Perkins, as he is called by the grocers) was try ing to explain why his attempt to force a fish and bean diet onto poor Gothamites did not work out satis- factorily. He used a column and a half letter in the New York Journal of Commerce to do it. The explanation seemed very smplpe. A lot of the beans purchased by the committee were wormy, and about 50 per cent of the fish--smelts--were so stale that they lived up to their name. What other explanation was needed?

SCOTCH THE SNAKE

Colonel Bird, of the Nogales Oasis, recognizing more fully that most of the latter day generation, the evil of attacks made by that element of dis cord during the days of the rebellion designated as "Copperheads," points out some of the causes for "clogs in the wheels" of the present govern. ment. As "Tories" in the conception of the freedom of America and later as "Copperheads" he recognizes the stamp of the traitor to the govern ment of the cause that has behind il the motive of making better condi. tion for the ndividual-world wide.
 "Tory" in our infant history as a nation, is but what the "copperhead' was in later years-neither of which were more than what the common agitator is today.
 Undeveloped conditions of the early days may have provoked a difference of opinion with some reason.
 The stand that America has taker in the development of men and hap. piness, leaves no doubt in the minds of the average man that there is but one course to pursue to gain that end
 There is no hope for the benightet mind that is unable to grasp the ides that is advanced and defended by tn, great majority of the people ot America now; he has no place in tn, great scheme of the betterment of tn, world.
 America advances regardless ot this band of rotten renegers" tug ging as they may to prevent the loya from doing their duty to their God their flag and country.
 The miserable whelp that. discour ages the young men in carrying tn, flag on beyond into greater fields ot endeavor for the freedom of the peo pie and the advancement of the caus, of Good Will on Earth" and fina brotherhood of man, is but the snak, in the path who should be scotchet at every opportunity.

LIMIT THANKING PRIVILEGE

The abuse of the Congressional franking privilege, which has grown up under the present administration, has assumed such proportions that Representative William W.

It would seem no more than reason able that the officials of the Douglas election precinct No. 1, which was thrown out because of illegalities should at least be centured for violat. ing the law and remarking ballots otherwise this might become an in convenient habit. Of course the vot. CTS of that precinct had the pleasure of going through the motions of vot. ing even though it did not count.

Pieces of an American flag were found on the streets last Friday morn- ing. The home guards are looking for the wretch that did it and it will not be healthy for his carcass if he is discovered. It is a mighty poor time for any unregenerate to show any feeling against the flag; it is a personal insult to every citizen and a crime that will not be lightly con- doned.
