It Was a Peggy Night

They had been to Peoria, Illinois, the pleasure seek pal of the dstilling industry the home of the ky trust There was plenty of whisky Peoria still there was not as much left there after the picnic steamer dropped down the river her last journey She took great deal of it in the stomachs and pocket fasks of the crew and passengers.
 Then, it a foggy night, a watery fog outside and a whisky fog inside. The conditions were fav- Eghty-two bodies have been fshed out of the wreck of the doubly befogged Columbia and the bodies of swept down the river
 There is to be a general nvstigation of this foggy government will investigate. The inquiry will first be directed at the character of the Columbia her scaworthiness. It not very good. She had been condemned but supposed to have been made good.
 It will probably be found though that she not quite good enough. Any vessel that is staunch enough to hold her under the influence of Peoria whisky should allow herself to be chartered for picnic purposes.
 In few years from now certainly in five years, American rivers There will, of course be rivers draped with gray fogs but there will be inside red whisky fogs

The Decline of Baseball

The Western baseball league embracing the principal cities between the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river and the Texas League have found that baseball does not pay this year and have the season with their schedules half finished. That that far that part the country is con cerned and it may be supposed that it is represen- tatve of the whole country the national game is not regarded this year prime necessity, any more than white bread is, or other pleasures in which we have induged in the past.
 Baseball is said to be profitable nowhere The managers of the major leagues say they are losing money The ball parks not drawing the crowds that were attracted to them in former years. There are two reasons for the defection. is that the people have bigger and much interesting game to watch. Still another is that many of the better players have gone that there is raggedness in the playing that rather repes that class of fans who attended tie games points rather than for their results.
 Altogether. therefore, when the once national game comes into conflict with work,it should be abandoned The country. at any rate the great part of it covered by the Western League is evidently not in need of the recreation and relaxation which the game was formerly supposd to afford. The business man and the worker finding their time fully em- ployed and provision need be made for the enter tainment of the dler whom the government is trying to set at work
 There is excuse we can think of that would warrant the exclusion of baseball players from the Crowder work fight order It is not enough to in the hay field they can on the diamond Neither can the bartender much in the wheat field as he receives for his minisraons back of the bar but that fact would not excuse him from work in the wheat field or in other useful or necessary thea ter of operations

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
To The Arizona Corporation Commis

To The Arizona Corporation Commis-
 sion:
 "If,r said a man intending to invest in the Ford Gold and Silver Mines Golf the corporation commission refuses to recommend your property, why do they grant you a license on that property"
 Here is a pont, not intricate, but per picking, and I call to the notice of the Arizona Corporation Commission the fact that this clause, wholly unneces- sary, where they force you to print in your aCvertisement-" The Arizona Corporation Commission does not rec ommend the stocks, bonds, or other se- curities offered for sale, by this or any other company" should be eliminated. Gentlemen: It is needless to confuse anyone, and absolutely wrong to pret udice anyone. The meaning of your demand is clear enough to the major | ity, but where is it's necessity? That you could not recommend. without the arising of suspicion as to grating pos abilities, needs not my calling to your mind. that you dare not condemn, after granting license, needs not here men, tioning, because, in granting a license your duty requires that you, by dili- gence, inquiry. testimony, etc, con- vince yourselves that a property is meritorious enough to warrant invest ment, and has certain work done. showings developed, and stability as sured, that investors may not be duped, robbed. or blinded, into wild cat in- vestment.

When, years ago. first knew what living in officers mess meant l always looked forward with tmorous feelings to the beginning of each month.
 This was because the mess president then took the opportunity of submitting ones account. It an uneasy moment. However frugay lived the total might be anything from $50 s100 although it included nothing costly to drink than draught beer and couple of glasses of port guest nights
 This was in the good old days" Thank Heaven they have now gone and and better regime has replaced them.
 At the present time if an officers bill ex- ceeds ffyfive cents day there is pretty certain be a row. In many messes the daily cost works out at couple of shillings and in it is little thirty cents This happens to be the figure ob taining in the one to which I belong. It is really less because thirteen cents is refund as "commuted allowance"
 What do we get in return for this trifng out lay? Well, substantial breakfast, luncheon after noon tea and supper. Let me give days bill of fare:
 Breakfast: Porridge and milk, eggs and bacon. toast butter and .marmaade.
 Luncheon: Roast beef, two vegetables, stewed fruit, rice pudding and cheese.
 Tea: Bread, butter lettuce and cake.
 Supper Soup corned beef biscuits and cheese

IeIearams by Train

There seems to be little objection anywhere to the government assumption of control of the telegraph and telephone wires but hope that the reasons why 1t is done will not be hisstated that they may be reasonable One has been given that not reasonable and great deal of foolish fuss has been made about It. Not long ago the discovery was made and widely published that the Western Union company was nor sending all the it by wire but that when it could do it dispatched them from one point to another by messenger One of these messen gers 1t was stated had taken large number of mes sages from Washington to New York and in conse- quence of this discovery Postmaster General Bure- son came to the conclusion. at any rate said he had, that this was sign that the Western Union service was breaking down.
 While such practice may be a violation of the postal laws the conducting of a private traffic m communications over roads, the patrons of tn. Western Union suffered delay or inconvenience The communications transmitted were night let ters carried between Washington Philadelphia Bos- ton and New York They were messages which if sent by wire would not have delivered until the following morning and they were delivered at that time just as promptly they would have been if they had been regularly transmitted by wire

Billy" Spear of the Phoenix Repub-
Ecan wrote long and learned editorial
the other day upon that most delectable
subject, The Kiss. He was inspired to
this outburst by the decision of Chi
cago Judge who fined a man ten dollars
for kissing his own wife. Absurd! Not
at al; he did not know she was his wife
when he kissed her. Spear sides right in
with the Chicago Judge. He even takes
the high and advanced ground that the
hurried and careless peck upon the cheek
with which most men salute their wives
is also a crime He holds that the same
fierce devotion that characterized the
honeymoon kiss should prevail IT mari
tai saiutes. even though ten years OF
married life intervene Between now and
the vanished slopes and dappled bliss of
Honeymoon Trail. And Spa, goes fur
Their than this. He declares that if the
natural ardour is lacking it should be
simulated. Appearances 60 a long
way, wisely remarks the newspaper
sage of Phoenix. Spear also argues. and
argues well, that if man kiss MS wife
often and affectionately, he viii not be
apt to fall into the habit of kissing other
women. The kiss is divine and never
failing balm for all domestic disagree
ments. Kisses are cheap, saith Spear.
Yes. and they are very dear. The Chicago
man who kissed his wife by mistake
paid ten dollars for the kiss and lost his
wife and was hauled before court of
law. Take it all in all, this diversion OF
Editor Spear from politics and war and
other sordid and tiresome public affairs
to the ancient custom and sublime emo
ton of the kiss is most welcome. His
dissertation is filled with philosophy and
good sense. If he runs for office in Ari-
iona he is sure of the vote of all good
wives. and whatever the men may think
of his views in private, they will not dare
to oppose him publicly.

One cannot help but notice, as he
reads the dispatches narrating the last
German invasion of Russia. that the
natural patriotism of maRy of the work
ing men and peasants who followed
Lenine and Trotsky to disaster asserts
itself and they wish to resist absolute
slavery. But Trotsky IS still for peace.
Peace at any price and under all condi-
tons. He is faithful and consistent to
his trust imposed by the terms of his
Potsdam contract to deliver Russia As
to the delivery. that is another matter.

SOLD BUT UNDELIVERED.
New York WORLDLY

The signing of formal peace on Ces-
many S terms marks the final act of
betrayal on the part of the Bolsheviki.
Otherwise the situation is unchanged
Trotzky and Lenine have not yet I'm
ished their work in behalf of German
autocracy. 1t is one. thing to sign away
Poland, Lithuania, Courland and Moon
Island, and another thing to carry cut
the terms of the agreement. Unless TIE
Bolsheviki can retain control o. the Rus
sian Government and unless the Allies
are defeated and forced to make Pots
dam peace, the treaty to which Irotzky's
signature has been affixed is worth as
much as any other piece of vase paper.
Trotzky ad Lenine have done their
best by the kaiser, whether actuatecl by
money or lust for power or the in5a-iiy
CT class hatred. They began their peace
negotiations by disbanding the Russian
armies. stopping the manufacture OF
munitions and signing an aTmistice thai
enabled the Germans to move all their
capable troops from the eastern front
to the western front When the farce OF
negotiation was drawing to close and
an excuse had to be found for accepting
the German terms, Irotzky and his
German associates prepared to stage the
last scene The Bolsheviki declared the
war ended. but refused to sign a peace.
The Germans promptly renewed their
invasion of Russian territory. Hese was
the needed demonstration of force to
establish the fact of coercion, so Petro-.
grad fastened to announce that Ras.aa
was compelled to accept the German
terms.
1t was obvious from the beginning Of
the Bolshevik regime that the German
terms would be accepted. Everything
that the Bolshevik leaders have done
since they obtained power has conceded
with the interest of Germany, and any
peace except a German peace would DC
wholly inconsistent with the policy tha5
Trotzky and Lenine have pursued
Whatever else they may be charged with,
nobody can accuse them OF breaking
faith with Prussianism.
But the peace that ends this war is net
going to be signed by Trotzkys and
Lenines. They may be able to give Rus
STA over to chaos and anarchy for the
tinn.- being They may be able to give
the kaiser the temporary aid and com
fort that he so sorely needs, but no
agreement that they make viii stand
unless the western democracies crumble
under the fire of the German guns. The
British, the French and the Americans
are still fighting the battle of the demon
allied Russian people as well as their
own battle. Civilization can be sold out
by the Trotzkys and Lenines, but they
cannot make the delivery
