We will continue to have graft
ing public officials just so long as
they are permitted to escape ex-
posure and conviction on the SEN
timental plea that it would dis
grace their families. Officials
who are tempted to accepting
bribes or start grating on their
jobs should do a little thinking
about the disgrace they will bring
on their families, and not wait
until they are caught and then
expect to escape just punishment
by having the public think about
the disgrace that will fall on the
family. Any public official,
either elected or appointed, who
CRAFTS on his job either by en-
bezzlement or accepting bribes is
the worse criminal in the land,
because he is not only trying to
enrich himself with his ill-gotten
gains, but he is betraying a public
trust.

Paul Geary, who at one time
claimed Winslow as his home, in
the days before he got to be a
democratic politician and had to
work for a living, has been ap-
pointed by Wiley Jones as his
deputy attorney general. Mr..
Geary is not to be congratulated,
but rather commiserated, on ac-
cepting the place, because if he
displays any legal talent superior
to his chief he will be dismissed,
and if he does not display a su-
perior talent he will be simply a
nonentity holding a job for the
salary attached.

The senate joint resolution eX-

entrymen have enlisted in the
military service during the time
of such service, has been amend
ed by the House to include sus-
pension of assessment work on
all metalliferous mining claims,
and has been passed. The Senate
will undoubtedly agree to the

The Texas legislature has voted
impeachment against Gov. Fer
guson, finding him guilty Of sew
eral counts, of unlawfully ap-
propriating money that came into
his hands by virtue of his office.
In Arizona, and particularly in
Navajo county, holding office is
considered private snap, and is
never viewed as an honorable
public trust; and for an indivi-
dual to institute a suit to recover
money illegally expended or en-
bezzled would be considered rank
heresy against long established
custom. The battle cry seems
to be milk the cow while the
milking is good"

According to the Phoenix Mes
senger, an authority on dem
ocratic politics in Arizona, there
are only sixteen democratic pa
triots who are now in the field
for the gubernatorial nomination,
and the primaries twelve months
away. This list does not include
Os. Flake, the oratorical misft
and freak statesman, who ratified
around in the halls of the legisla-
ture last winter as a representa-
tive from Navajo county. Os. is
going to run for governor on his
record as a member of the legis-
lature, and at this writing he is
going to get his own vote in
Snowflake precinct, and has the
promise of another in the south
ern part of the state if he don't
queer the deal by going to that
fellows town to make a speech.
The Winslow Mail is for Os, be-
cause he will have to move out
of the county if he is elected.

Before any of us "stay-at-
homes" make any complaint on
the frequent calls for donations
to the cause of the war, let US
pause a moment and think of
the financial sacrifices many Of
our boys made in answering the
call of the selective draft-our
law made to raise an army to do
our fighting, while we stay at
home to continue in gainful pur-
suits. We don't have to go away
from home for examples to illus
trate our point. Look at the
score of young railroad men who
had to give up position paying
them $125 to S175 per month, to
enter the service at $50 a month
and their sustenance. The edi-
tor personally knows several of
these young men who have been
saving from $25 to $50 month
from their wages in civil life,
and this will all be lost to them
during the time of their service.
In other words, these young fell
lows, in addition to being CON-
PEELED to offer their lives in de-
fense of their country, have to
practically make cash donation
of their heretofore monthly saw
ings amounting in some instances
to over $50 a month. Are any
of us stay-at-homes giving $50,
or SIS, or even S. a month in do
nations to make pleasant and as
sure the comfort to our boys?
The real Stacker in these times is
the fellow who refuses to con-
tribute to the war relief what
ever it may be, or grudgingly
gives a pittance, and growls at
the solicitors as if they were
robbing him for their personal
profit.

Bernstorff Diplomacy.

The exposure by Secretary of
State Lansing of the Bernstorff
communication to his government
for authority to spend another
$50, 900 to corrupt Congress to
keep the United States out of
the European war, while a most
diabolical plot on the part of the
German ambassador, ought to
bring the blush of shame to the
cheeks of every good American
blush to think that men hon
ored with the highest positions
of confidence and trust in the
gift of the people, would permit
the greed for gold to lead them to
the very brink of treason to the
country. Secretary Lansing is
charitable enough to declare he
does not believe any member of
Congress has been bought with
German gold, but thinks the
money was paid to others to un-
duly influence members in their
actions on war measures. 1t is
very considerate of Mr.. Lansing
to let the guilty offenders, down
thus easy, but he knows and ev-
cry other man knows who has
been following the actions of cer-
tain members of Congress and
the Senate, that the flesh pots
were more appealing to them
than loyalty to country. These
Judases should be uncovered,
and expelled from the honorable
bodies they have disgraced with
their perfdy. Their acts should
be branded as treason, and the
same penalty meted out as to the
soldier. Treason in the councils
of the country is just as danger
Gus. and far more insidious, than
treason at the battle front.
We should blush to know that
the moral fiber of our national
law makers is so weak as to
manifest itself to foreign am
bassador so plainly that he well
knew he could approach them
with offers of money to betray
their own country to aid his gov
ernment. The solution is plain.
Bernstorff is not fool, and dur
ing his long residence in Wash
ingtonl he no doubt discovered
many senators and congressman
were living for beyond their pri-
vate incomes and official salar-
les, and it was easy to conclude
that all such were patching out
their incomes with all available
graft money in sight to maintain
their false standard of aff1uence
and social prestige. Bernstorff
was shrewd enough to sense the
money-mad spirit of American
ism, and the consequential low
ebb of loyalty and patriotism,
and the rest was easy. Had cur
representatives been as faithful
to the United States as Bern
storf was faithful to the Father
land. there now would be no
cloud of scandal hanging over
the capitol at Washington. Bern
storf sacrificed honor to serve
his country; American solons sac
rifced honor to betray their
country for gold.

We ARE At WAR

The U. S., our country, the
country of the most popular pre-
sidents of any republic in the
world, through the successor of
Washington and Lincoln have
declared war to the Central En-
pires or to be more correct to
that clique of which the people
of those unfortunate countries
are tools.
In his message to the Congress,
masterpiece of the most mo-
dern and advanced theories of
the rights of man, and an
elaborate treatise of interna-
tional rights of Nations, Mr.. Will
son has set forth the reasons
why he had to depart from the
determination of keeping us out
of the great struggle.
By carefully reading that
great document one at once sees
how hard he worked to preserve
peace, how many cover acts" he
overlooked because not weighty
enough to plunge our beloved
country in war the duration of
which cannot be guessed.
For the u. S. this is not a war
of conquest, it is not a war
caused by an ambitious ruler
who by its results hopes to rein
force the Divine right of ruling,
but it is a war for the triumph of
right, it is a war for the people,
wanted by the people. Germany
has done everything that could
be done to provoke our resent
ment. Has tramped our rights,
has killed our countrymen, has
Injured our commerce, and above
everythingelse has hurt oul
pride.
The mild notes have been
answered by meaningless ones
THE protests have brought forth
pledges that were later broken
The threat of cutting the diplom-
aticties gave us plots in our owr
country and meddling in the af-
fairs of the Nation and neighbor-
ing Republic. For the German
stateman and diplomat every.
thing is proper. Even the abroga'
ton of those human rights that
were established when the in
habitants of the earth were not

Is looking Tor. NO one pretend
that we can help the Allies
militarily, and we thing that by
the time we shall be able to do so
the war will be over, but the u.
S. can do more than any other
Nation to help defeat the Kaiser.
The Allies in general and France
and Italy in particular got more
soldiers than they can use, but
they need large quantities of
raw material, they need vast re-
serves of firearms and ammuni-
tions, they need money.
The U. S. got the money and
we can spare it, our resources
are immense for we are not get
ting more than a small fraction
of what could be got in case of
need, so we can furnish the allied
Nations of raw materials, and
lastly our ammunition and fire
arm production could supply
more than mhat the Allies can
use.
The Allies need coal and they
need it very bad. They want pc
trolium products, machinery,
steel, cotton, etc. We got every
thing and plenty of it.
Italy is crying for coal and
other raw materials, Italy does
not need soldiers, its soldiers do
no lack courage, they are very
well equipped, in fact better than
they ever were, thew reserve of
arms and ammunitions is more
than what could be expected, but
| in a war of this might nothing
is to large, no precaution is to
much. The Allies got to strike
and strike hard. No lack of any
thing ought to abate the mighty
blow that is to befall on the blood
thirsty rulers of the German
Empires.
The u. S. have a good Navy
and it can be used to advantage
in relieving the allied ships that
patrol the Atlantic. In no time
we can build and arm a great
number of light and fast ocean
going vessels, which are the best
that can be used to hunt the
underwater pirates. No time is
| being lost by the administration
to prepare and produce results,
and we are more than sure that
very soon we shall see how care
fully and how completely they
are working to safeguard our in
terests and our reputation.

The reading of the instruction
to enemy aliens which accom-
panied the declaration of a state
of war between the u. S. and
Germany very clearly shows the
man that at this eventful mo-
ment holds the destiny of our
great country.
1t demonstrate that we are at
war for humanity only. No one
here is considered an enemy if
he behaves, no deportation OF
detention camps for enemy aliens
unless forced by their behavior
We are not at war with the
germans. We are fighting those
maniacs that want conquer the
whole world. Those crazy state
men and military leader that lead
to this in quest of fame.
In this critical moment when
the reputation of our country
its honor, all what we have OF
dear is at stake let us give oul
unlimited help. Let us work tc
abbreviate the war. The man ir
the mill, as the man in the
trench can help the Nation.
To the American of italian
descent we appeal to do theil
duty.
By helping their Country they
help the cause of the allies anc
the cause for which our fathers
fought in the sixty, and fol
which our brothers are fighting
since the oath of May 1915.
