and, if necessary of our lives. This is no time for fear We must have the nerve, and when the call comes we must meet it with eyes to the front That's all there is to it friends.
 There has been a fear of a shortage in fOod-stlffs. and therefore, the Boys
 Work Reserve was organized. Up to date, these boys have hood 1.190 acres of land. The menace of the submarine remains practically unchecked, and therefore we can be proud of these boys of Arizona who are fighting to feed the allies of our nation.
 Fairness and Justice
 Arizona is not the place for the man of reasonable utterances, nor for the inciter of trouble It is regrettable that there has arisen in our fair state con- troVersy that threatens our copper in dustry. But in passing upon the merits of the question. it must be remembered i that on the one hand there must be an attitude of fairness on the part of la i bOr. and of justice on the part of the employer. But I want to tell you, my friends, that if the copper industry of Arizona is threatened, the federal gov ernment will step in to control the sit i uation. That is one of the duties of the peonle of ArizOna-to see to it that the { , dered. And public opinion will see to 1 it that the progress of this industry does not cease.'

 Attorney Thomas H. Flynn. whom | Judge kibbey introduced as The Fall i Pine of Coconino County"
 Mir. Flynn said in part;
 Nineteen years of blessed peace have been ours since the Treaty of : Paris, and now in an unsuspecting hour, when We had hoped that diplo- macy would save the day grim vis- aged war again confronts the Ameri- can nation, and is bringing us to our most sober thoughts, l say, is bring ! ing us for it seems that the full i'm i port of the impending struggle has not i as yet fully impressed itself upon us.
 Years of ease and comfort, internal ! tranquility wealth and luxury, have 1 induced a sort of soporific content ment, from which we have not as yet fully aroused. Democracy, enjoyed by us as the happy fruition of the toll of our forebears has come to us to | be matter of course, of right, and we cannot conceive that it is or can | be seriously questioned.
 "But my friends, as you value your : present freedom, disabuse your minds 1 of any such fatuous view. If the war l of the Revolution was necessary, as i it was, to give the world it's first 1 idea of the meaning of the word lib- ] erty; if the Civil War had to accentu ate,-as it did-its universality in this i nation; and if the war with Spain in l itiated, as it did, our idea that this
 same freedom should not be bound by i Americas shores, our war against Germany in it's ultimate analysis, sur passes them all in magnitude and inn portance, for, whatever the causes that
 have led us into it. it's ultimate test
 will be whether that democracy oi which we were the founders and pre-
 servers, shall prevail as the moving spirit of the world or go down tC defeat and humiliation before the iror heel of the admittedly powerful anC mighty military aristocracy of Will helm and Zimmerman, Von Hinden- burg and Bethmann- Hollweg. Let u:
 not then idle away very precious time
 in futile discussion and speculation
 on the now academic question of why
 we are in the wor. We are in it! It's
 a condition and not theory that con.
 fronts us. Shall we, therefore, as wa.
 asked by Patrick Henry, lay supinel,
 on our backs and indulge in the il.
 fusion of hope that this world -quarre
 shall be settled by others while wt
 go blithely on our way in the ever. lasting chase for the dollar, or shal
 we as free men re-echo to Germam
 the firm and dignified answer of oul
