German Appointment
of a Socialist to Office
Is a Bit Significant

One of the significant pieces of news
which comes from Germany is the fact
that Philip Scheidmann. a Socialist. tho
s. questionable Socialist has been APP
pointed as president of the constitution
committee Of the reichstag.
When the war broke out the Socialist
party surprised the world by immediate
ly pledging complete loyalty to the Ger
man government tho il had fought mill
tarism, war and other government insti-
tutions for many years.
only Karl Leibknecht held out and
there is no doubt but that he would have
speedily been put to death but for the
strength of the party back Of him.
The Socialists Of France fell in line
with their government also, as did the
English. Kier Hardie dying of grief at
the failure Of the working men for whom
ne had labored increasingly, to live up
to their principles
Recently there has been a split IN the
Socialist party of Germany, an antl-gov-
eminent Socialist branch having been
formed. This, in itself, shows weak
ening in the German government, the
Kaiser and the Junkers particularly OBJ
iecting 70 the whole Socialist movement
Scheidmann has either been put in to
nlacate the Socialists or to swing the So
cialists toward things which the govern
ment wishes to bring about. For it was
ne who tried to bring about a separate
peace with Russia. and it is he who
pledged complete support to the govern
ment without demanding certain fran
chise reforms for which the anti-goveIn-
ment Socialists are standing.
We're our system of voting TO prevail
in Germany, the Socialist vote would con-
troll the reichstag With the plural sys-
tenn it has no chance of doing so, tho it
is stronger than in other countries.
AT least, it is the first time that any
Socialist has been appointed to this high
office and it is possible that, when firmly
there, he Will use his power for the good
of his party.
Had the Socialists Of the old world
stood solidly together and adhered to
their platform the war would either not
have been waged or il would have been
Of short duration.
Many would have had 70 sacrifice their
lives, but not as many as have been
slaughtered on the battlefield.

A Prosecution or Two
Would Guarantee Elections
Absolutely Honest!

The people Of Detroit are to be con
graduated upon the outcome Of the re-
count of the votes for the office Of city
recorder which returns Charles T. vii
hns a winner
They not only secure for the office a
man who has splendid ability for the
discharge Of its responsibilities, but at
the same time, secure representation on
their election commission by Demo
crat. thus continuing the commission as
non-partisan and SAFE body
Our city recorder sits as a member Of
the board and the election Of Charles Fl.
Jasnowski. a Republican and machine
Republican at that, would have meant
solid partisan control and machine
control of a commission whose impor-
tance has been emphasized by its man
ner of conducting this recount.
Wilkins made his fight for the re-
cordership on the election commission
issue and chose happily his weapon in
so doing
We have to rely upon the election
board for honesty in our elections, and
we look to it to supply US with the facts
in connection with discrepancies in sev-
eral of the precincts which are explained
as due to inexperience of the precinct
boards.
In more than one instance Of figures
which gave Jasnowski larger totals than
they should have given him, as shown
by the recount, there were circumstances
that pointed very strongly to intent and
malicious manipulation Of somebody S
lead pencil.
The election commission has announc-
ed its intention of summoning the mem
bers of the boards in these precincts
and should not hesitate in instituting
proper proceedings if the facts warrant
them doing so.
Our elections can be made ABSO-
LUTELY safe and free from crooked
ness only through action, when there is
crookedness, that will impress upon
everybody that the ballot represents a
sacred right of citizenship and that the
counting of it is a solemn responsibility.
Elections in Detroit are more honest
than they were many months back, but
there is evidence in some figures that
came to light in the recount over the re-
cordership of member of a precinct
board here and there who has not yet
sensed the fact that Detroit has called
for new deal in which the cards must
all come off the top.
A prosecution or two, if warranted by
the finding of the election commission,
would help a whole lot

all other drafted men do their duty.
Every mother and every father of a
drafted man whose number has not
yet been called should be interested
in seeing that improper claims do not
prevail when presented to those al
ready called. In fact, every patriotic
citizen should be glad to give informa-
ton that will assist the officers to
detect slackers of every sort.
Information may be reported to the
county attorney, H. G. Richardson,
Florence, Arizona, and the same will
be kept confidential if desired. The
names of all claimants to exemption,
together with their grounds and the
names of the persons making the sup
porting affidavits, will be published
several times in local newspapers.

There are slackers who failed to
register, and there are slackers who
attempt to evade services after reg
istration. Chief among the latter
class are those who present depen-
dency claims that are without merit.
Under instructions from the pro-
vost marshal general, the county at
torney will appeal all dependency
claims for exemption to the district
board if they have been granted by
the local board. Accordingly, such
claims will be scrutinized both by
the local board and by the district
board, and the post-registration slack
er will have small chance to evade
detection.
All citizens are invited to give the
county attorney any information they
may have concerning improper claims
for exemption. The drafted man who

Considerable speculation was made
Sunday as to just why Scanlon was
caught off the first sack. Some say
he was thinking about what he would
do when he gets to the trenches.
Others say he was day-dreaming of
somebody or something closer to the
heart. Still others say he was think
ing of whether he would be covered
with medals or dirt after he had been
in the trenches few weeks. And so
it goes. Almost everybody has diff
ferent opinion and they are all so
good. Perhaps next week, if the edi-
tor is not in the trenches, and Scan
lon doesn't shoot him, we may have
some more opinions on this subject.
