PROCLAMATION
IN BEHALF OF THE
ARIZONA COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
Executive Department
State of Arizona
State of Arizona

NOTED, but war conditions today
demand that the organization
and maintenance of all essential
industries be kept in a high state
of efficiency. Our mineral re-
sources must be fostered and de-
veloped to provide for war. All
industrial activities must be
maintained at their greatest
capacities.
I'VE call upon all aliens among
us to unite with onr citizens in
promoting the public good. Let
us be considerate Of those who
have been subjects Of nations
with which we are now at war.
1t is vitality important that every
individual shall realize his duty,
by loyaly obeying and upholding
the law. Do not carry arms un-
less you have the right to do so.
Do not kindle or repeat idle
rumors and gossip. Give aid and
assistance to the officers Of the
law to enable them to maintain
public peace and order. Remem-
Der that disregard of the law is
reprehensibIe at and time; today
it is REASONABLE.
Every effort should be made
to support the President in mis-
plans for National defense. En-
courage the organization of our
National Guard, army and navy;
safeguard the rights of our
soldiers and sailors and their de-
pendents, so that the burden
may rest as lightly as possible
upon those who offer their lives
in the defense of all.
I'VE recommend all necessary
legislation to the end that the
burdens of the war shall be equit-
able borne by all. Let not this
be a war by the patriotic few for
the benefit of the many. We
especially commend. the Presi-
dents plan for universal military
service.
'The demand of the hour is
united, intelligent and immediate
action. We call upon every
commercial body, labor organiza-
ton, church; benevolent, secret
and patriotic society; in short,
all associations of every kind and
character within the State, at
once to perfect plans and meth
DDS for promoting the efforts of
this Council for the safety of our
State and Nation. Service in
the ranks of the National Guard,
army and navy is noble and
patriotic. Unselfish service as a
private citizen is no less SO.
With confidence in the patriotism
of the citizens and residents of
Arizona, we ask that every man,
woman and child unite in public
spirited effort to uphold the
peace, honor and welfare of Ari-
zona and the Union.
This Council is permanently
organized. The necessary COM
mittees are now actively at work.
Suggestions and assistance from
any source will be cordially re-
cieved. Address, Dwight B.
Heard, Chairman of Arizona
State Council of Defense. or
George H. Smalley, Secretary,
State Capitol, Phoenix, Arizona.
I'VE ask the press and clergy
to aid in carrying this message
to the people. -

Phoenix Paper
puts it Right
As to Certain Ruling
of the Court
(From Arizona Gazette)

(From Arizona Gazette)
| When the court refused to per-
NIT the votes cast in Douglas
precinct No. l at the general
election held last November to be
counted, he did the obvious thing.
So much skullduggery, so many
Irregularities, so complete a dis
regard for law, and such an evil
dent subversion of the intent of
the voter, could not, by any
stretch of the imagination, judi
cial or lay, give excuse for the
retention of the Hunt majority
in that particular precinct.
In Snowflake, which Senator
Ives, chief counsel for the ex-
governor, exploited as a counter
irritant and an offset to the
Douglas mess, no such conditions
was found to exist. No fraud
was proven; there was no drink
ing at the polls; no election
officials were shifted or import
ed; the minority party was given
full representation, and the cleo
ton was conducted decently and
in order.
1t appears, however, that there
were certain irregularities. Per-
sons were permitted t invade
the fifty-foot limit, and it was
alleged that physical aid was
given to certain voters who were
confused by the magnitude of
the ballot. There can be, how
ever, no doubt that the will of
the Snowflake precinct was ac-
curately expressed by the result.
There can be no doubt that it
was the intention of the good
people of that precinct, which is
said to be one hundred per cent
American, to give Governor
Campbell the majority they did
give him. The Snowflake pre-
cinct is like one big family and
such slight irregularities as there
may have been were highly
technical and in no way involved
the sanctity of the ballot. 1t is
probable that nine-tenths of the
precincts of the state could be
disfranchised upon technical
grounds if the issue were press
ed and the same rnles observed
as were applied to Snowflake.
Be that as it may, the court
saw fit to class Snowflake with
the offensive Douglas precinct
and every voter therein was dis
franchised so far as his vote for
governor is concerned. They
might as we'll have remained at
home.
Now comes a Bisbee precinct,
which appears to be sort of be
twixt and between" Douglas and
Snowflake, and the court says,
that Notwithstanding the fact
that he has ruled on each of the
others he will withhold his de-
cision in the Bisbee matter. thus
leaving the contestee in the
air." if a slang phrase may be
excused.
Sometimes it is extremely diff
icult for an ordinary person who
is not blessed with the judicial
temperament to follow the in
tricacies of a court of justice.

So many nice compliments
handed us about the Herald that
we kinder feel timid in mention
ing the matter. If we can keep
it up, is the question, and we
will if the dear people keep pat

SCHOOL IS

Incendiarism Without JUS
tification Theory Of the
State Fire Marshal.

Bismarck, N. D., April S.-Incen-
diarism for which no possible justifica-
ton can be found is believed to have
been responsible for the destruction
of the public school building at Me-
dora, which II. n. Reade, deputy state
fire marshal, now IL investigating.
The building was burned to the
ground after a previous attempt, made
the night before, had failed. In the
first effort shades which had been re-
moved from the windows by the teach
er were restored by the destroyers, In
order that residents In the neighbour
hood Of the school might not see the
flames, and large section OF flooring
in the vicinity of the stove was sat-
urated with oil and ignited. The flames
about six feet, and the damage was
not discovered until school was opened
the following morning. Tracks were
found, and the footprints of horse
believed to have been ridden by. the
firebug were traced to a point two
miles from the school house.
And that night the incendiarist re-
turned and completed the Job.
There had been some little argument
as to the location OF the school. which
Is now situated on the east side of the
Little Missouri. A majority of tax
payers wanted a school on the west
recently had voted 20 comply with
their wishes and build new school
there. This friction, therefore, can
hardly be held responsible for the de-
struction Of the old school building.S
While in the western part OF the
state, Deputy Reade also investigated
the burning OF O. school at South Heart.
