TOO MODEST
(By WALT MASON.)

TOO MODEST
 l am too sensitive, l fear to win a salesman's laurels here. If some one batters me with chairs. or kicks me down a flight of stairs, l feel depress- ed, discouraged, tired; I think my ab- sence is desired. Whereas the sales man who would win. should pick his bones up with a griu, dust off his clothes. replace his hat, reset his broken arm or slat. and climb that blooming stair again, to sell his junk to angry men. He doesn't care for a rebuff; the salesman's made of sterner stuff. I often marvel at his gall, when he shins OCT my garden wall, ana nails me in my leafy haunt to sell me truck I do not want. In forty lingOes I've explained. until my lexicon is strained, that I won't blow a measly plunk for any item of his junk. But 1othing nothing 1 can say will drive that earnest gent away. and not a dornick can throw will serve to make that salesman go. If l should throttle him to death he'd sell me with his dying breath some stuff to put in gaso- line and keep my motor running clean.

AIRING DIRTY LINEN.

Arzonas corporation commission since its inception in ong-ago 1912, when statehood and when the novelty of progressiveism upon the state has been divided in thought and action Two of its present members have served since the first day One of the two is at with the majority The difference does lie in political theories it does not lie in arguments business which before the commission It only lie in jealousy; jealousy which hurts the commission and hurts the state
 Judging from communication which the commissions majority has given the press would that the third member in queries the best incorporat- ing agency in the referred the writers which is operated by the chief clerk incorporating department-Aiss Ethel Wise. It would that the commissioner used the commissions letterheads to answer such correspondence
 The majority of the commission fit to take ex- ception the practice and exposed the matter press. is good publicity undoubtedly but is poor for the commission and hard the state.
 More than natural the abstract reference of business of any character to friend. It is not against the law of of reason and less against friendship for judge to refer business lawyer who is his friend. The judge is discriminating himself In the it is hard to understand where the comms soner is discriminating himself the corporation mission.
 If there is anything to the complaint made by the majority of the corporation commission must be found beneath the verbage and obscured by it. If the comms soner who is complained of has been acting reprehens by the majority of the organization should facts which would cause the other removal from office Otherwise discerning and careful pubic must reach the conclusion that it is merely of jealousy being responsible for the airing of dirty linen.

Realization that the United States is engaged in real with real though Furnish enemy, has dawned at last It has home to the American people with the torpedoing of the American trans port Antilles with a loss of about seventy lives all good Americans
 Awakening to such catastrophe the country must first shiVer in alarm, shed tear for the v- ing and those who will suffer by the direct loss, then grit it's teeth plunge into the with both feet and both hands with head and with heart. The nation must awake.
 Can it be that the people of this country will sit contentedy by and read press dispatches of the ter ribIe brigandry of the Imperial German government and not pray to the All Powerful God for some re- course? Can it be that pacfsts will not turn hair and wonder whether not their stand is treason able? Lesser terms will not their propaganda in the face of such evils.
 America has been slow to awaken to the real responsibility which rests on it's shoulders to hu manity and democracy. Something epocha and terrible has been needed match needed to set the smouIderins pile into blaze That match has been supplied. The Antilles and it's dead is the timber
 The Lusitania has been forgotten except abstract argument The many, other American lives and American ships have been forgotten, except in principle. The Antilles is fresh in the minds of the people and those on board the transport all Americans
 It is not late to pour the very Iifebood of the nation it's wealth its health its future into the cruel bIe of the age But resultant compound be had from the mixture-IoyaIty to the American to the American people, to the American flag.
 Too long have malicious aliens obstruoted every thing that the government and the form of govern ment stood for Too long have meIfuous pacifists, socialists and others stood in the road to banish ment of Prussiansm and Kultur. Too long have you peaceful American people stood idly by and listened to their arguments It is time to act
 "An act which is for the United States is certainly against the nation" great has said. Nothing be nearer the truth. If you not for the country, at the present time, you can only be counted in direction-by thought tion-against it. There only be road to travel for Americans-that of victory for the cause of hu- manity and democracy. Those who desire other ends should either be hung by the neck the traitors trey are sent to the with their submarines and sunk with their culture.

He attacked the ruling of the lower ity of the 67 votes for Campbell. on the grounds that the court had not giv- en any indication of the mathematical process by which the count had been arrived at.
