 The Clifton Morenci tieup contin- ues complete. Agitators directing the strikers are holding them in line with out apparent difficulty. They have plenty of money available from some source and are seeing that the MeXicans, the main body of the strik- CTS, have all the food they want. As long as this continues the MeXicans will not return to work. Americans
 Ii the two districts and others who .eouid like to return to work have much decreased in numbers, many having gone to other districts. Most # the MeXicans, Italians and Aus ftans and SpaniarGs, comprising the bulk of the strikers, are foreigners md subject to deportation under eX- ;sting conditions, such authority now being vested in the department of labor. Of solutions of the situation there seems only tWo-the bringing If sufficient troops to aaDle men to return to work, or the deportation Of foreigners. Even Ii the pIiCe Ol cop per would permit the companies to raise wages as demanded and operate without loss, which they cannot do with the metal around 25 cents, set clement would be of 20 avail, for un- Ter the propaganda the strikers are operating the settlement of one strike only means the calling of another, until the mines are finally owned by the men, as the agitators have made them believe they will be.
 The 50,G00,G00 pounds of copper Arizona will he short of this month will mean direct loss to the govern ment in war tax levied upon the producers of around $1000,0 900. Loss from lessened income tax collections from the share holders Of the crippled companies means another large sum Meantime there are approximately 9.c0O vacant jobs in the state, which should be earning upwards of $1,330, 900 per month Instead of doing this and adding to the nations resources in war munitions and general wealth l the majority of the 5000 men who are off the job are eating into the i stores of the balance of the country and inasmuch as they are not en- gagged in production of any sort are helping boost high costs of living. Expert metal market opinion agrees that the copper these men are moi oattine out is badly needed. Con-

the better climatic conditions. Min CTS are also coming in from the Mich igan and Minnesota iron and copper countries, where the rigorous winter conditions of the northwest will soon be on i'll full force. The loss of these latter men will have to be made up from other sources in the northwest. In the coal countries it will mean the giving of six days work to operatives. instead of four and five days they now receive.
 No other cause is responsible for the influx of labor to Arizona than the general knowledge oyer the coun- try that 1. W. w. activities disrupted industrial conditions here and that there is room and welcome for a great many loyal American operatives under the open shop rule. False stories set in circulation through l. W. w. sources are proving no deter rent They are evidently generally discredited. These stories included assertions that union men were not being employed and that many acci- dents were occurring in the mines. The latter story is typical of l. w. w. method of spreading intimidation.

One does not hear anything said to
the effect that the United States will
"eat up" the Germans in a few weeks.
There does not seem to be any spirit
of bluster and brag in the present
mental state of our people This is
one of the best signs revealed in the
circumstances. There is a grim de.
termination; willingness to serve the
country and a stern resolution to de-
fend our liberties and to help other
nations defend their own. That we
are not fighting for conquest is guar
antee that we will fight bravely for the
safekeeping of liberty.

TRY 1T! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Can Not
Salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has no
ticed great falling-off in the sale Of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking it's
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs SO cents,
and if fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and consti-
patton, you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated bow
els. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days
work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, full of vigor and
ambition

We do not protest against the pro-
posed heavy increase in postal rates
the newspapers will have to pay pro-
vided the act now before congress
passes. Everybody and everything
will have to bear part in the heavy
burden that is falling upon us. We
kick at nothing save the effort to have
the newspapers muzZled, and that
phase of 'the matter was thought
to have been already settled, and
we were to have free press. The trou-
BILE with Germany and Russia and
many other tyrannical governments
lies primarily in the fact that the pa
pers are muzzled. The greatest agent
of despots in the world today is the
suppression of free speech and free
thought. To our mind, if our own
country had been put under such con-
ditions we would have lost our best
reason for fighting. To Germanize
ourselves would be almost as bad as
to be Germanized by Germans.
But to go back to the question of
higher rates: The tremendous rise in
the cost of print paper which fell
upon the newspapers more than year
ago, put many of them out of exist
ence. The heavy increase in postal
rates will put many more of them out
of business. The necessary thing for
the newspapers to do is to increase
subscription and advertising rates so
as to get in position to keep buckle
and tongue together. The delinquent
subscriber is one of the heaviest taxes
the newspapers have to meet. The low
price of advertising rates is another
menace. The newspapers must help
themselves by increasing their rates
and by insisting upon subscription be-
ing paid in advance.

We do not endorse the attitude of
many newspapers who are putting up
a spiel: Enlist now, so as not to be
forced in by conscription." We do not
feel that the selective draft is any dis
graceful process. 1t is, rather, a scien-
tific and sane method for handling the
situation. We agree with President
Wilson in his refusal to allow Mr..
Roosevelt to get up and lead large
volunteer force. 1t was Just the fact
that the whooped-up volunteer body
of soldiers would have created in the
minds of many the feeling that to be
selected by draft is disgraceful. Many,
very many young men have not vol
unteered. They are not burning to
get in. If the nation needs them,
however, they will go, and go willing
ly. And they whl stay as long and
fight as faithfully as anybody else.
We honor the young fellows who have
stepped forward and offered them
selves to their country. Now that the
selective draft is to be enforced, we
feel that those chosen to go will prove
themselves equally as faithful We see
no disgrace in being called forth under
the "conscript act"

We highly commend the public
spirit and unselfish attitude revealed
by DR.. G.. w. B. Smith of Glendale.
DR.. Smith owns lands contiguous to
Rocky Greek, on the highway between
Union and Jonesville DR.. Smith not
only gave the right of way for the
new road bed, but also gave top soil
for surfacing the road; he has also
given the top soil for the roadway in
the approaches to Rocky Creek bridge
and for surfacing the road beyond that
point. Such public spirit is worthy of
commentator. We doubt if DR.. Smith
will, himself, use this roadway twice
a year; he lives in an adjoining coun-
", and these facts make his public
spirit all the more noteworthy. A
spirit like that will build up a com
munity, and will at the same time.
build up the man who manifests it. We
venture the assertion that DR.. Smith
has lost nothing, when we remember
the increased value that will attach to
his lands.

Gardens in Union and all over the
county are showing up to fine advan-
tage. There will be plenty of vegeta-
bles in few weeks. The only trouble
is that they will last but a few weeks
unless succession of crops be plant
ed. Let's plant beans every two
weeks; and, do not stop at that. Plant,
plant again; then plant again. After
every good rain it will be an easy
matter to get the seed to germinate.
Keep on planting in your garden and
you will keep on reaping the reward.

about times when Christmas was a
gay season, celebrated with great romp

the confectioners make those delicious
little cakes with sugar forms of the
Christchild on top. Scraps of Yuse-
