Firm in the Faith

A colored minister of the Baptist
church, so runs the story, in order to
strengthen and confirm the faith of his
congregation, took as his text: "In
those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judea."
"Oh," said he, show I like to read these
precious words in the blessed Bible!
You don't read anywhere about John
the Presbyterian, or John the Metho-
dist, or John the Episcopalian. No
brethren, it is John the Baptist

ing her share and adding another share as proof of the assay.
 Bisbee's sons, the youth of the district, have responded to the call to arms. They are everywhere France, on the North Sea and the Atlantic and training camps through the length and breadth of the land.
 Bisbee's men have heard the call of the nation. Notably, three of the most influ- ential citizens are now serving in France. Others are with the colors in every branch Of endeavor.
 When German at one of the mines re- fused to assist the Red Cross, Bisbee' cit izens gave proof of their assay by riding him from the company ground on steel bar.
 When 1. w. w. sought to cripple the na ton through strikes which would cur tail copper production, Bisbee' citizens ex- pelled the traitorous agents and allies of the Hun.
 The final assay of Bisbee's patriotism came as the sequence, to previous tests; 1t was a natural climax; as natural as the in- trusions of foreign strata in the mine. h. trusions of citizenry which assayed below the average brought about the sequence, just as they had detracted from the assay ot the city on previous occasions. The tests of the past year had prepared the way, opened up the ground for the final proof.
 An element whose patriotism was envel- oped in a camouflage of pretense and pre- sumption, called on Bisbee's citizens for votes for high places in city affairs. The citizens non-partisan candidates, whose patriotism had been proven in each sue ceeding test of the past year, came up be- fore Bisbees citizens on their merit and value
 The citizens of Bisbee voted, and each ballot was part of the assay. The waste, the intrusions of foreign matter, of bad rock, were discovered in the days preceding the election. Yesterday, the low-grade was discarded, thrown into the waste pile Henceforth, Bisbee's patriotic assays will show even greater values. They will no longer be contaminated with intrusive strata which heretofore have been included in the tests.

They held one of the most unique drives in the history of the war at Phoenix Satur- day night when the police rounded up two thousand citizens during big Red Cross parade and made them show their classifi- cation cards and standing generally with Uncle Sam as regards the draft. Every young man on the streets was taken and herded in temporary bull pen under bank building. Out of the two thousand thus detained, thirty-five were found who could not make good with the officers. These were detained and the rest allowed to go f1ee While this method of rounding up slackers is unique at this time, it may soon be common enough. The success and practicability of the Phoenix drive will be sure to result in its adoption by other cities the country over.

So it IS with every community. Assays of its citizenship are taken from time to time Progress or failure is written in the tests. It Is either patriotic or un- patriotic, or of doubtful patriotism. If it Is patriotic 1t becomes a useful unit in county state and nation. If it is unpatriotic or of doubtful patriotism, 1t is an over head burden; dead expense.
 When occasional instrusions of waste invade patriotic community, the assay of the whole may be normal. Other strata may be of sufficiently high grade to off set the waste. In such instances, the low grade is discarded if possible. Otherwise, it is absorbed in the assay of the whole, re- maining waste, and detracting from the true patriotic extraction of tn commu- nifty.

As work progresses in drift or stope of a mine, assays of each foot of rock are taken by experts If the rock bears min eral content of sufficient value, it is run into bins for ore-extraction. If it is worth less it is shot into the waste pile-discarded as useless; 1t becomes an overhead burden which must be moved to reach the metal bearing rock; it Is a dead expense.

Bisbee assays one hundred per cent patriotic. Like most communities, Bisbee has been handicapped by intrusions of fools gold. Like most communities, Bisbee has been forced to include in its patriotic assay this poor rock. The high grade of the community, the really patriotic stratum, has been of sufficient value to off set the low grade, and the final assay has been of twenty-two karat richness.
 Yesterdays city election was the final assay of Bisbee's patriotism. It was the acid test applied to community which in the past year has been put to one test after another. The issues in the election were the patriotism of candidates and Bisbee's citizens.
 And, even with intruding strata of poor or bad rock, Bisbee assayed in its final test better than one hundred per cent patriotism.
 A glance at Bisbee record of the past year gives many instances of the high patriotic assay of the community.
 Yesterday the Red Cross drive for war funds ended in the district Twenty-Five thousand dollars had been asked Bis bee responded with almost three times this modest request.
 May ,, the third Liberty Bond campaign closed. BiSbee captured an honor flag for over-subscribing its quota, and its pledges were almost double the allotment to the district
 National honors were captured last fall when the second Liberty Loan was launch ed and Bisbee subscribed 279 per cent nearly three times the amount asked by the government.
 In the first Liberty Loan campaign, Bis bee was the first city of the state to raise more than its quota.
 Bisbee is supporting its Red Cross chap ter with monthly income which more than satisfies its needs.
