In nearly every community is
to be found some worthless loaf
er who has been lucky in escap-
ing having his number drawn,
and the remark is frequently
heard that it is too bad these
worthless skunks were not taken
as soldiers instead of our indus
trious young men. At first
glance that would seem reason
able proposition, but did you ever
stop to think that a dirty loafer
would be just as useless as SOL
dier as a citizen. He has a
streak of yellow in his makeup,
he is 4 moral leper and a physi-
cal coward; and you can't make
an American soldier out of that
kind of material. 1t is fortunate
for the country that the worth
less loaferst escaped. American
manhood is to them an unknown
quantity. It takes red blood to
make a soldier, and moral fiber,
and industry. That is the rea-
son loyal American citizens are
proud of their soldier boys.

According to Attorney General

According to Attorney General
Jones in his report to Gov. Camp
bell, the alleged patriotic loyal
ty league of Bisbee" have declar-
ed their intention to continue in
their work of denying entrance
to the city of any person who
fails to appear before the inquisi-
tion committee and states his
business. If. Gov. Campbell is
satisfied that the report of Jones
is a true statement of facts, with
no amendments coming later to
change front, he should call on
the national government to de-
clare martial law in that camp at
once. This is no time to allow a
mob of citizens to supercede the
law of the state and nation. A
mob of mine owners sand business
men is just as dangerous and just
as un-American as a mob of min
ers when they take the law into
their own hands, and the state
of Arizona cannot afford to have
it go out to the world that we
have one standard of law for the
mine owner, capitalist and busi-
ness man, and another for the
laboring man. Gov. Campbell
should enforce the rule of equali-
ty before the law.

Ordinarily the editor has no
patience with the policies advo-
Gated by Senator LaFollette, be-
cause he is so frequently wrong;
but we heartily agree with him
in his position that the govern
ment should conscript the money
of the rich while they are con-
scripting men to give their lives.
In a speech delivered on the
floor of the Senate Tuesday the
senator gave utterance to the
following disgraceful truth:
Wealth has never yet sacri-
feed itself on the altar of patri-
otism in any war. On the con-
trary it has ever shown itself ca
ger to take advantage of the
misfortunes which war always
brings to the masses of the peo-
pie. That is true of every war
we have had, and it is certainly
true of the present war. "
In the civil war, when the fate
of the nation was hanging in the
balance, and men were freely
giving their lives to preserve the
Union, the money kings of those
days hired substitutes to take
their place in the ranks, and they
staid at home conspiring to rob
the people and the government.
The foundations of many of the
present day fortunes were laid in
that darkest hour of the nation s
history, when the government,
fighting for it's very existence
the honorable enemy in front,
was forced to submit to the bri-
gands and traitors in the rear
who put in their time robbing
the government and the people.
We are hardly yet in the present
war, but even thus early these
vultures of society are already
lowering over the land to add to
their millions the exhorbitant
war profits, with no thought OF
the distress, hunger and death
in the ranks of the unfortunate
poor.

In the death of United States
Senator John w. Kern,s of In
diana, the democratic party loses
one of it's most prominent ad-
vocates, and the country loses a
loyal patriotic citizen who put
fealty to the government above
partisan politics. He never rank
ed as a brilliant statesman, but
he was always honestsand sincere
in his efforts to be a true repre-
sentative of his people.

What was naturally to be ex-
pected under the seIective draft
is now being daily realized. A
young married man in Los An
geles, without a political pull or
wealthy relatives, has been re-
fused exemption. He filed his
claim for exemption on the
ground that he had a wife and
child dependant on him for sup
port, but his claim was denied.
He now announces that scores of
young married men without any
children, but with wealthy inf1u-
ential parents, have been ex-
empted, and he will go to Jail
rather than serve unless these
wealthy scions of Los Angeles are
compelled to 60 also. The young
man is right in the attitude he
takes, and further the govern
ment should investigate into the
matter and see where the trouble
lies. If this is a war for demo-
cracy let the sons of the rich go
out and do the fighting just the
same as the sons of the poor. If
any one is to be exempt it should
be the poor man who has to depend
on his daily labor to earn support
for his family. Young married
men who have wealthy parents
on one or both sides of the house
are not the sole support of their
wives by any means, and such
should be called into service.
Let us have no disgraceful scan
dals connected with this war.

In times like these the indivi-
dual who thinks he would like
to wipe his feet on the American
flag," or who entertains the idea
the flag is an old rag without any
sentiment behind it, should keep
those thoughts to himself. If
for no other reason he should re-
member the admonition, Safety
First" Strange as it may seem,
about SO per cent of the people
in the United States believe the
flag is the sacred emblem of their
liberty, and they get peeved at
any insulting remarks directed
