UncamounageabIe

The publication of the French Yellow
Book, revealing the terms of the Franco
Russian Alliance nails another German
lie. The German Foreign Office has
shown much industry in digging into
captured enemy archives for propagan-
dist material. But the only records it
has unearthed and published, seeming to
hint at pre-war combinations for pur-
poses of aggression against Germany,
have proved on close examination to be
only clumsy distortions of the truth.
When the Germans captured Brussels
they ransacked the Belgian state papers
and pretended to find in them proof of
secret military alliance between Belgium
and Great Britain. But the publication in
full of the alleged discriminating CORE
spondence (the Germans had given only
excerpts from it) showed that the Bel
gian and British War Offices had merely
consulted on the possibility of coopera-
ton in case Belgium's neutrality should
be violated by Germany
So when the German government
bought the Bolshevist counter revolution
in Russia its agents went through the
diplomatic correspondence between Rus
sia and France and claimed to have
found evidence in it that those two coun-
tries had long ago covenanted to attack
and despoil Germany.
The text of the Franco Russian treaty,
now published, shows that the alliance
was purely defensive in character, pro-
viding for joint military action only in
case either France or Russia should be
attacked by the Triple Alliance or any
two members of it, and providing for
Joint mobilization only after an enemy
mobilization had taken place
The Franco-Russian agreement was
strictly defensive SO, by its terms was
the German Austro Hungarian-I Italian
alliance Germany destroyed the binding
force of the latter covenant by declaring
war on Russia in the midst of negotia-
jions for a mediation of Austria-Hun-
gary's dispute with Serbia. Italy was
thereby relieved Of any obligation to sup
port her allies. Berlin never made
public demand for Italian assistance.
Failure to do so amounted to an admis-
sion that the war was an aggressive one
on Germany's part.
The Kaiser and all his understudies in
Germany and Austria Hungary have re-
Gently been calling heaven to witness
that the Central Powers have been fight
ing solely ''for the integrity and security
of their territories" 1t is the last cry of
panlc-stricken bully and hypocrite. 1t
is an appeal for mercy from a criminal
who has himself never shown mercy. 1t
is fiustered Pan-G -Germanism in the last
ditch.
1t may seem superhuous at this late
day to be emphasizing the fact that the
war was forced on the world by German
arrogance and ambition. Yet the French
Yellow Book is timely. And for this rea-
son: The day of reckoning is approach
ing. Against that day the German is at
tempting to cover over his foulness. That
must not be. He made the war He has
fought it through with unexampled bru-
tality and baseness. He must expate his
crimes. The world cannot in justice al
low him the fictitious eXtenuation that he
robbed, murdered and ravaged in self
defence.

Back to the Sea

Ships mean men. Not the least i'm
Board is the recruiting service. For our
vast new tonnage must be manned, and
manned with Americans so far as posi-
Bile. One of the inevitable results of the
disappearance Of the American flag from
the Seven Seas, when steam supplanted
sail and the tin pots drove out the wind
TANNERS, was the decline of Americans
as a seafaring race With the old clip
pers the old captains departed. Even in
the old seacoast towns strange shells and
most the only memorials of the earlier
days. Yet we are now discovering that
the call of the sea was unheeded, but not
forgotten. The recruiting service, which
has headquarters at Boston, where it
publishes every week "The Merchant
Mariner" most interesting little paper,
already has more apprentices than it
can take care of for the moment. That
is good omen The American seaman
is coming into his own again--much
own.
The commander Of well known liner
once remarked that at thirty. he left the
sea and went into the Cunard service.
What he meant was that there was no
comparison between the hardships of the
oldtime sailing vessel and the comforts
of modern steamship. But the condi-
tions of the seaman's life on every kind
of craft have greatly altered since the
days recorded in "Moby Dick" They were
a rough lot, those old whaling men, and
they lived roughly. The scum of the
world drifted into New Bedford and
Nantucket. But there were fine, up
standing men among them, too, tall men
of their hands, cheerful, courageous,
ready for fight or frolic All the
North Atlantic Coast was veritable
nursery of seamen; our naval exploits
testify to the stuff of which they were
made. The race Of heroes survived with
the captains courageous of Gloucester,
with many a sturdy American salt who
took his chance with the mixed crews our
shippers raked together from every part
of the world, even in some sense with
our yachtsmen. 1t is hard to make
landlubber of any Cape Colder or Nan
tucketer. But it has taken the war to
send our adventurous, high-spirited boys
back to the sea in large numbers.
That is we'll worth while. We need
not lay too much stress upon the i'm
proved conditions of the seaman's life.
1t is we'll that they should be improved.
But it needs little rough-and tumble to
develop the sterner qualities of man
hood. These youths who are cnlistng
in the American merchant marine should
be the first of long line The sea
should regain the old glamour of the
days when most boys wanted to run
away and ship before the mast, like
Dana, and when many of them did.
America must sec her own sons sailing
under her flag. For sea power is hers
by right of heritage, and in no other
way can she be mistress of her destiny.

T 0! l have worshipped beauty all my
IL days:
The stars have been as lovers and the night,
Fairer than thought. Trees, pictures, music,
light,
Old crumblng sunsets and the lilac haze
On summer shadowy hlls-these were a
maze
Of loveliness. with hushed and sandalled
feet
To wander pausing where a brook was
sweet,
Or in lush meadows marvclling to gaze
And have known high battles with the
wind
And felt the mystic tang of wet, kissed lips.
And prayed at dawn. Alas, That these
should pass!
Lecturing on poets to college class
Behold, aid the Progress Of the Mind
0 why should beauty suffer such eclipse?
MASTER of arts! Diploma tight in

Hood on his back and triumph on his face
He drops benevolent smiles upon the place
Which taught him what he does not under
stand
His arguments, 'tis true, have nearly
spanned
The missing plays of Ford, the date and
Of "Piers the Ploughman," Spenser's birth,
the race
Of Layamon. He knows His air is bland
Master of arts and ignorant of all,
He climbs another archway to his goal

AS near as we can get at the
present situation the people of
this state are asked to vote for
Golfer for governor because Mr..
Geo. Babbitt is chairman, and
R. N. Fredericks is the treasurer
of the democratic state commit
tee. Either of the latter two
gentlemen would make a good
governor, but unfortunately they
are not running for office, and
Golfer falls so far below their cal
iber that he is impossible. He
pretends to be the friend of the
laboring men, but in fact he is
simply the tool of such fellows
as Homer Wood, who has no use
for a laboring man unless he
takes his political instructions
from Wood, so he can deliver
their votes where he pleases so
he can get a fat job for himself
after the election. A vote for
Golfer is a vote to give Homer
Wood a job. At present he is a
politician without a job since Gov.
Hunt cheerfully accepted his res
ignation from the Commission on
State Institutions. There is a
difference between Golfer and
Gov. Hunt, and the advantage is
all in favor of the Governor.

The name of R. L. Newman
has been placed before the peo-
pie of Navajo county by the re-
publicans as their candidate for
reelection to the office of sheriff,
confident that he will be endors-
ed by the voters at the election
next Tuesday. An officer who
faithfully discharges his duty is
entitled to the support of his con-
stituents without regard to polit-
ical affiliations, as an officer is
simply the employe of the tax
payers just the same as an en-
ploye is the servant of his en-
ployer in civil life; and whoever
heard of an employer discharg-
ing an employe who had been
faithful and efficient just to give
the place to some other man who
aspired to the job. Have you
ever heard any complaint that
Sheriff Newman has been lax in
the discharge Of his duties, or
been unfaithful to. his trust?
Then why should he be dismissed
from the service of the county
by the voters? A vote for Mr..
Newman is simply a vote to en-
dorse his administration, and
mere politics must not enter into
the selection of competent coun-
ty officials.

We have tried to get some one
to explain to us wherein Mr.. COL
ter is a better friend of the la
boring man than Thos. Camp
bell, the republican nominee for
Governor. Except for a few
months when he was acting gov
ernor before he was unseated by
the court, Mr.. Campbell never
held any official position where
he could benefit or injure the la
boring man in any way, but as a
civilian he has always stood in
defense of organized labor, and
lent his power and influence to
advance every worthy move to
improve their conditions. In his
early man hood he worked on the
ranch and in the mines, and he
knows by hard knocks the true
side of the labor question. Mr..
Golfer, on the other hand, has
been playing "the friend of Ia
Dor" role strictly for political
purposes, and democratic politi-
clans all over the state are work
ing the same game for the same
purpose.

F. Mahoney for justice of the

handsome majorities. Their best
endorsement is their popularity
