Secretary Won Kuelmann's resignation

there are signs Of unrest In the Ger

change. There Is no real chagrin BE-
cause Of DR.. Won Kuehlmann's fall. as
he was considered all around as clear

stances his rssignation and the ap-
pointment Of an arch pan-German as
his successor are bitterly resented IN
democratic Germany. and especially by
the reichstag. A more complete ignor-
Ing of parliament by the kaiser and
his advisers Is hardly thinkable. No
body In the reiehstag was consulted.

of the change only through an informal

SOLDIERS BALLOTS
DON'T REACH THEM

Ballots have been mailed by the
clerk of the board of supervisors to
272 Pinal county soldier boys now in
cantonments or in France for the pur-
pose of ascertaining their choice in
the September primaries. Great diff
Guilty was experienced in obtaining the
addresses of the boys, and it is not
expected that more than a small per
centage of the ballots will be returned.
Bearing out the statement in last
weeks Copper Camp to the effect that
the soldiers voting law would not
work, is the following item from the
Phoenix Republican of this date. I'm
der the heading MANY ballots Sent
to Camp Come Back" the Republican
says:
ga good many blank ballots for the
primaries and the accompanying in
structions sent to voters from Arizona
in the military and naval service will
not reach their destination.
Return cards have been received
from many of the camps and canton
ments bringing information to the
clerks of the board of supervisors that
the addresses of the soldiers are not
known. In most cases, probably. they
have been transferred to other points. %
lnasmuch as the postage on each
envelope sent to men n camps was
nineteen cents, it will be seen that
considerable expense has been in
CURED in mailing ballots to the 10,-
600 men from Arizona now in service.
Loren F. Vaughn, who claims cred
it for the passage of this non-workable
law, is now trying to get elected state
treasurer. He started his campaign
with a great amount of noise about
how he had obtained the vote for the
soldiers. More recently however,
when it became apparent that the law
was a joke, Vaughn has had little to
say about it. AS a matter of fact,
much more intelligent and workable
measures were before the legislature
for the purpose of giving the SOL
diers the vote, but Vaughn and a few
more legislators of the same sort were
determined to get their pet bill
through. If the soldiers voting bill
is fair sample of the way Vaughn's
mind works, the people of Arizona will

vised which would be equally preven-
tive. But evidently people are not de-
tered from murder by fear of life
Imprisonment. For one thing, they
always have the hope that after a
few years, the lapse of time and pub
lie interest will collaborate with their
own good behavior to bring them par
don or parole. There is no hope of
pardon or parole for one who has
been hanged. Fear of the hangman's
moose or of the electric chair are
strong deterrents to crime in states
where juries are conscientious in rem
dering convictions.
"Maricopa countys dark record is
but little frightened by the statement
THAT % persons have been arrested
for the 25 murders and that % of
them either are serving time at Flor
ence or are awaiting transportation
there. They are in no danger what
ever of losing their lives and right

MURDER RECORD OF
ARIZONA DISGRACE

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 8-The Ell
Paso Herald says: CAS- time goes on,
the records keep bringing out figures
which afford a striking commentary
on Arizona's anti-capital punishment
law. Many of them have been pub
lished, figures showing the steady in.
crease Of crime in the state since the
abolition of the death penalty.
"a new record is available now.
Sheriff Wilky of Phoenix presents the
statement, compiled out of his official
books, that 25 murders have been
committed in Maricopa county, of
which Phoenix is the county seat, in
the past 18 months-more than twice
as many murders as ever before were
committed in that county in a similar
length of time.

Why Experiment?
Is OSborn:S Query

The old idea that public office is
a chattel to be banded hither and
yon with each election is rapidly Civ
ing way to the more sane application
of the elementary rules of ordinary
business which declare that a man
who knows his trade and can secure
the best results is the man to retain.
The business of running the State
of Arizona is a big job. 1t requires
knowledge of conditions and people;
keen business insight, an ability of a
high order. The business manager
(governor) of state must be a close
buyer and a clever salesman. He
must see to it that his boss (the
people, are fully protected If he
attends to the business Of the job he
will have little time to waste on build
ing political fences and developing
personal grudges.
According to the propaganda being
issued by Sidney P. Osborn, who
" UC SONGIuOI VI ArlZODd, one
of the chief reasons why should be
nominated at the September primaries
is because he has been associated
with the conduct of the State of Ari-
zona ever since it has been a state
and before. He was a member of the
constitutional convention which framed
magma charta under which we are
now living. He was born and reared
in the state. He knows it and he
knows it's needs and it's people He
has been secretary of state, and act
ing governor. He has shown him
self capable executive, and has spe-
cialized in the very things most
needed to give the people of the state
business administration"
why experiment." he asks. "Why
take on an untried skipper when
there is a seasoned pilot at hand?"
This, of course, is political argu-
ment, and is intended to influence
votes.
But" Osborn concludes his ap-
peal, "isn't it the truth?"

BIG JOB Of
RECRUITING IS
LABOR DEPT'S.

| Some intimation of the seriousness
OF the shortage of labor in the United
! States is gained from the fact that
the government has turned over to
the United States Employment Ser
vice the task of furnishing the war
industries of the nation with about
100000 workers during the neX
twelve months.
In order to insure the presence of
this vast industrial army at the right
places, the Employment Service has
been given complete control over the
nations labor supply. The distribu-
ton and recruiting of war labor from
now on will be in the hands of what
is known as the Community Labor
Boards, composed of representatives
OF the government, the employers and
the employees of every district. The
personnel of these boards in Arizona
will be announced shortly.
The proposition that every en-
ployer and employe in Arizona, and
this applies to ranching as we'll as to
the industries, is that the U. S. EN-
ployment Service is the place to 20
to from now on if you want workers
or if you want a job.
The supply of laborers in the United
States is to be apportioned by quotas
among the various states If an en-
ployer fails to notify the nearest en-
plOyment service office of his prob
able needs in workers for the near
future, he is very apt to find himself
without help when he will need it
worst.
Taking over of the recruiting and
distribution of labor by the employ
ment service was the result of uni
versal desire throughout the country
that some central agency be entrusted
with the work Labor turnovers have
reached frightful proportion in many
sections of the country, and it was to
do away with the needless and waste
full shifting of war workers from one
plant to the other that the recruiting
and distributing plan was adopted.
Workers themselves are urged not
to seek new fields of endeavor until
they have first sought the advice of
the officials at the nearest U. S. EN-
plOyment Service office.
These offices in Arizona are located
at Phoenix, Yuma, Flagstaff, Globe,
Douglas, Prescott and Tucson.
Uncle Sam has entered into part
nership with the employees and the
employers of the nation to produce
the materials to whip the kaiser. For
these two classes of Americans the
nearest way to Berlin is through the
office of the U. S. Employment Ser
vice. Start now.

Geo. Lee Tells
Of"ODer There

An interesting letter has been re-
ceived from George Lee, now in his
majesty's service somewhere in the
war zone. We are pleased to produce
the same in full as follows:
Dear Kind Friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith-In answer to your kind letters
of late, don't know just where to be-
gin to express my thankfulness and
gratitude of the interest and trouble
you have taken on behalf of the boys
and myself included, not to mention
the expense, which is secondary, con-
sidering the spirit in which it is done.
So the least we can do is to try and
prove ourselves worthy of your kind
ness and good thoughts. Also remem-

have often thought you may won
der why l did not join the American
forces. Well, to start at the beginning,

Canada, after that down in the States,
in which l resided about nine years.
1t never entered my head TO take out

to my notice about four years ago. as
to all intents and purposes l was an
American throughout, but l could not

tion at Los Angeles and stated my
case, but of no use. l was refused.
(Bob Smith of the hardware store in
Ray will verify that.) So l quit my
work., intending to join the British
navy via Canada, paying my own fare.
So decided to take weeks vacation
in Los Angeles before going. On leav-
ing San Pedro by steamer l made the
acquaintance of a few fine young fel-
lows who were going up to join the
Canadian army; so at the finish there
were fourteen of us. So, then, they
would not hear of me joining the navy
and leaving them at thirteen, under
any condition. So that is the reason
l am in the Canadian army. 1 hope I
do not bore you with my story.

.BENSCOE CRIPPLED
BUT STILL IN RING

Old Man Hard Luck took swat at
M. 0. Benscoe, candidate for the Dem
ocratlc nomination for county assessor
this week, and left him in a condition
that would have discouraged less
hardy spirits from making the race
for any office. However, even
though crippled, Mr. Benscoe is still
IN the ring, and going strong. An ac-
cldent that seriously injured his right
arm, the large muscles being severed
IN two, and slightly crippled his left
loot, just as he started to make his
campaign for county assessor was the
means Old Man Jinx employed in his
attack against Benscoe. AS a result
his victim will be unable to drive his
car for some little time, and will not
be able to see all the voters as he had
planned to do at the outset of his
campaign. However, Mr.. Benscoe is
not one bit discouraged. He is going
to see all of the voters of Pinal
county just as soon as he can get
around to it. While he may not be
able to shake hands with his trusty
right for some weeks that fact is not
going to deter him from calling on
as many as he can visit in his present
crippled condition, and as soon as he
can drive his car he is going out in
the highways and byways and con-
tlnue his campaign with his usual
vigQr.
