Red Cross Goods Not Sold.

The following statement has
been issued by Harvey Gibson,
General Manager of the Ameri-
can Red Cross:
"a story is being circulated to
the effect that sweaters, socks,
and other articles knitted for the
Red Cross are being sold, either
to the public in shops or direct to
the soldiers. This is emphaticaly
not true. No articles whatever,
either knitted or otherwise, made
by Red Cross workers and turn
ed into any Red Cross Chapter,
Branch, or Auxiliary. or to any
supply warehouse, are sold either
to the soldiers or in shops.
If any wilful case of this sort
should come to the attention of
headquarters, the Charter of the
Red Cross Chapter or subsidiary
sanctioning it would be immedi-
ately withdrawn with full publici-
~. Should it transpire that an
actual instance of the above
character occurred wherein an
individual sold articles after their
having been turned in to the Red
Cross, such action would be clear
y in violation Of the fundamen-
tai law covering the Red Cross,
and we would take vigorous steps
to prosecute the offender.
1t is also true that any case
of persons, other than those
acquiring the right prior to Jan
uary, 1905, using the name or
emblem of the Red Cross to as
sist in the sale of merchandise, is
a violation of the provisions of
the federal criminal law. and the
offender should be reported to
the United States district attor-
ney for prosecution.
There is no way to prevent
people from making the same
type or articles as are produced
bp Red Cross workers and selling
them for their own advantage,
thus subjecting the Red Cross to
unjust criticism. Should they
use the name or emblem of the
Red Cross in connection with
such sales, hewever, they will be
vigorously prosecuted.

Lord Northcliffe declines the
Ministry of Munitions in Lloyd
Georges Cabinet because he does
not approve of some of the things
that the Lloyd George govern

tanning incompetent men in
places of high authority. The
Northcliffe letter of refusal is an
Illuminating document and is of
especial interest to America,
where, as Northcliffe himself
says, some phases of British pro-
cedure have had on unfavorable
reaction. Lord Northcliffe, with
his newspapers, is reputed to
have made Lloyd George Prime
Minister. 1t is hard to imagine

War Activities In Washington.

The population of the City of
Washington has increased at
least $4,000 since the war began.
1t is natural that the capitol city,
the center of governmental ac-
tivities, should show this marked
effect of the most extensive
preparation for war ever under
taken by any country. A steady
stream of new appointees to the
great civilian army pours into
the city; the streets hum with
activity; everybody is busy and
earnest; on every hand are the
sure signs of competent organi-
zation with fixed purpose.
At the request Of the United
States Civil Service Commission
the Washington Chamber of
Commerce has undertaken the
work of directing to suitable
rooming and boarding places the
new arrivals who are not ac-
quainted in the city. Hundreds
of desirable rooms, with or with
out board, are listed, and at very
moderate rates. Application for
accommodations can be made by
new appointees through CORES
pondence before leaving home or
by calling at the office of the
Washington Chamber of Com
merce, No. Gil Twelfth Street,
N. W., upon their arrival in
Washington.
Stenographers and typeWriters
make up large part of the addi-
tions to the force at Washington.
Thousands have been appointed
and thousands more are needed.
Ship craftsmen for the Navy
Department, mechanical drafts
men for the service generally,
and statisticians and what are
known as clerks qualified in busi-
ness administration, clerks quail
fed in statistics or accounting,
index and catalogue clerks, bal
ance or stores clerks, and sched-
ule clerks for the Ordnance De-
partment of the Army are also
in great demand. Representa-
tives of the United States Civil
Service Commission at the post
offices in all cities are furnishing
detailed information concerning
positions at Washington in which
workers are needed.

Some of the democratic papers
are talking of running Mitt Sims
for secretary of state, but in the
name of the Phoenix banks, who
have nearly a third of the state
funds on deposit, we earnestly
protest. 1t was Johnson first,
then Sims, then Johnson again,
and now it must be Sims again,
so there will be no disturbance
of the favoritism to the Phoenix
Valley bank. This bank alone
holds over a fifth of all the state
funds on deposit, and a new
treasurer who was not in har-
mony with existing conditions
might withdraw a considerable
portion Of this fund, which would
interfere with the financial rating
of that particular institution.
The democrats must nominate
Mitt Sims for treasurer. What
is the use of a close corporation
of democratic office holders if the
friends of the combination are
not protected?

The constitution of the state of
Arizona says that any person
convicted of violating any of the
provisions Of the prohibition law
SHALL be fined not less than
$25, and SHALL be imprisoned
not less than ten days for each
offense. This law is the only
constitutional provision that car
ries a penalty clause, and it was
adopted by vote of the people
for the very purpose of compell-
ing superior judges to infict
Imprisonment sentences on the
guilty, instead Of letting the vi
olaters get away with a fine,
which in many cases they are
glad to pay as license to do
business. Judge Sapp has always
pretended to be in favor of a
strict enforcement of the prohi-
bition amendment, but he very
carefully avoids passing Jail SEN
tences on many bootleggers who
have appeared before him. Many
laws, in fact all laws except this
prohibition amendment, have
penalty provisions that recite that
the judge may fine or imprison,
or give both fine and imprison-
ment, as he may elect; but the
constitutional provision leaves
him no option. If it was only a
statutory provision there would
still be the loop-hole that the
judge could ignore it on the
ground that it was unconstitu-
tional, but no superior judge has
the power to set aside the con-
stitution or ignore it's provisions.
The legislative enactment passed
by the last legislature, to give
added force to the prohibition
amendment, provides that any
justice of the peace, county at
torney or sheriff who refuses to
enforce all the provisions of the
amendment shall he removed
from Office, and if superior judges
refuse to enforce the law they
should be removed from office by
the governor. Every judge takes
an oath of office to uphold the
constitution and the law of the
state, and his failure so to do is
sufficient ground for his removal.
II we are going to permit judges
to set aside all the provisions of
the constitution and the law we
might just as well abolish the
legislature, and throw the con-
stitution in the junk heap, and
clothe the courts with the power
Of dictators.

The Grand Jury Report.

sire to call attention particularly
to the second and fifth para
graphs. The second paragraph
recommends that the board Of
supervisors do not allow claims
for jury and witness fees put in
by justices of the peace, and
should only pay when claims are
put in by the individuals. The
only fees that the county could
pay would be in criminal cases,
and the law says that in all Grim
inal cases witnesses cannot re-
ceive fees unless they make an
oath of destitution, and jurors
are only used occasionally in
misdemeanor cases. There would
be no objection to justices of the
peace collecting the fees and
paying them out to the parties to
whom they belong, but the
trouble lies in the fact that the
justices forget to pay out the
money and keep it-as part of the
perquisites of the office. 1t is in
the civil cases, over which the
supervisors have no jurisdiction
that witness and jury fees are
collected, and the only report
that the supervisors get is the
fees of the justice which have to
be turned into the county. The
supervisors should demand of
justices that a complete report
of all cases should be submitted
to them for examination, show
ing the title Of the case, all the
costs collected, and the receipts
showing witnesses and jurors
have paid. The fact that such a
recommendation was made by
the grand jury leads to the be-
lief that they discovered that
some one of the justices of the
peace had been converting money
to his own use that rightfully
belonged to others. The law says
a public officer who keeps money
coming into his possession by
virtue of his office is guilty of
embezzlement, and jury and wit
ness fees come into his possession
by virtue of his office.
In the fifth paragraph tn e
grand jury very rightfully pro-
test against the practice of police
magistrates and justices of the
peace levying fines, and at some
later day remitting them as a
pernicious habit that must be
stopped. There is no doubt that
in open court while the case is
still pending these magistrates
can levy a fine or Imprisonment,
and suspend one or both for good
and sufficient reasons, but when
the case has been closed the
magistrate loses all jurisdiction
to amend or revoke the sentence,
and the only remedy for the &C
cused is to appeal to the superior
court from the justice of the
peace, or take his case before the
mayor of the city in a case be-
fore the police magistrate.
Another pernicious practice of
the justices of the peace that is
growing, and is a violation of the
bill of rights, is the demanding
of cash bond. There is no law
for this, and in many cases would
work a hardship on some poor
man who would be unable to give
a cash bond, but could give a
surety bond. A surety bond can
be demanded, but a cash bond is
n privilege an offender can exer-
else. 1t is very doubtful under
the law of Arizona whether a
justice of the peace can accept a
cash bond, as the only allusion to
a cash bond is in Section 1907 of
the criminal code, which is as
follows:

Ezra Banyon was clumsily built, but
immaculate as to his attire. He was
crude and self-centered, yet he was n
prince of good fellows, according to his
favorlte boon companions, and very
liberal with his money when with the
girls. Ezra had come to Woodville, the
heir of local merchant who had left
quite a property. About all that Ezra
did was to collect the revenue from
the same.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-

have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
