The spartanburs City Council has

The Spartanburg City Council has
enacted a drastic anti-loafing ordi-
nance and the police have been in
structed to enforce IL to the letter.
The first day after the law became OF
force thirty-seven loafers were taken
up. A similar law would do good in
Sumter. IL Is true that the town Is
not altogether overrun with loafers,
but far too many able bodied loaf
ers are to be seen every day in va
rious parts or the city. Every boy
sixteen years OF age or over should be
required to put I'm six full days work
every week I'm some useful and pro-
ductive occupation. A loafer is as
bad as a pro-German and there is
no place In this country for such vile
parasites. Let's put the loafers to
work or drive them out.
The Food Administration has at
last taken hold. with q firm hand, of
the matter OF prohteering In the re-
prices should be strictly regulated.
but there should be some system OF
inspection OF weights and measures
to insure full weights as we'll as rea-
sonable prices Not every set OF scales
weighs sixteen ounces to the pound.
nor does every peck measure hold a
lawful peck. The cotton weighers
scales are tested regularly and the
same system should be applied to ev-
cry dealer and merchant who pays
license to do business in this city.
The Bleaseite demagogues and the
few newspapers In the State that do
not care what sort of country Ameri-
ca is after their editors are dead and
gone. are doing their utmost to di-
vert the minds Of the people from
their disloyal pro-German records.

WASTED PRO-GERMANISM

After three years of prO-German propaganda William Randolph Hearst has laid down and is try ing to be American citizen although he will have hard time making the American people believe that he really means it. Hearst has been in the habit of taking to himself the credit for all things, and if they did not happen he rarely found it out until long after he had reported the happenings When the war broke out and the British and French censors got busy Willie failed to observe the rules and maintained his bureau in New York without regard to truth verify and was called down many times by the British government, and each time he would solemn ly pledge his word that such things would not hap pen again. Finally the British government cut Mr. Hearst summariy off from all news and put the ban his papers. This so ncensed Hearst that he began active campaign against the allied governments and maintained it until the present time. When the United States entered the he continued his prOpa- ganda, and of this GermanOphile than any prO-German newspaper in the land. In his New York American of May 25 1917, he dilated the Liberty Loan in the following language: '1f you want your food and wealth sent abroad to help suffering England buy Liberty Bond, furnish the sipews of war" In the same paper two days later he mentioned soldiers being over to be Of- fered up in bloody sacrifice to the ambition of con- tending nations foreign battIefields" And this kind of dope and to greater extent went into all the Hearst papers of the United States.
 When the trial of BOlO Pasha, sincc executed for high treason in France, on, Willie Hearst named as the friend of BOO. Hearst is the of the New York American, New York Evening Jour- nal, Chicago Herald Examiner, Chicago American, Boston Advertiser, Boston AmericanJ Atlanta GeOr- gian, Atlanta American San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Call, Los Angeles Examiner, Los An geles Herald and the following named magazines: Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Harper's' Bazaar, Hearsts, Motor, Motor Boating and Puck. While some of these magazines have kept alOOf from the subject of war; Mr. Hearst has impressed his opinion on all the others such extent that of the encampments, where soldiers are being quartered have refused to allow his publications to be sold read.
 But the funny thing is the manner in which Hearst is trying head off the impending doom of his pa pers and periodicals, which resulted in the fulsOme praise of President Wilson for the wonderful work he has done and the wisdom he has shown in the conduct of the and the UnificatiOn of all depart ments. The tribute is indeed wonderful from the man who few short months ago was heaping upon him all of abuse and ansthema. And the of this is the fact that Hearst the nevta be repudiatiOn of his papers by the people of the United States, if not their absolute suppression.

WITHOUT coRPoRATIoNs-wHAT?

4 number of the newspapers of Arizona that pan der to the farmers, siOckmen and agatOrs, vent ing their spleen against the corporations especially those engaged in mining. How foolish this prOpa- ganda IS can be readily seen by look the situa tion Mining pays Dne-haf the tax of the state; it furnishes close to 70 per cent of the hauage of the railroads it has made possible the operation of bus ness enterprises that could exist under other dition; it furnishes employment to more men at bet ter pay than all the other employers of the state; it has been the means of opening the wilderness and making it safe for the farmer and sOckman; it has been the great cviii7er and has done for hu- manity than all the other producers of the world. Had it not been for mining there would not today be a railroad west of the Mississippi river, would there have been great chain of states on the Pa cific coast. Alaska would have been a terra incog nito given over to snow and ice and the poor Es- auimaux. And what would Arizona be today the mining corporations banished from it's confines? Even Governor Hunt who has been railing against the mining companies. made his money from these seif-same companies at Globe. And today, it is the mining companies and the miners of Arizona that are furnishing the sinews of for the state. Every mining camp goes over the top in every campaign, whether it be for Liberty Loan, Red Cross Thrift Stamps. When it comes to the big donations it is from the mining companies or the who gagged in mining that the money willingly comes. Arizona needs them aL-farmer, stOckman miner ard raIrOad-corpOratiOn and individual. The fact that some of these little nncOmpOOps have no stock in a corpoI ation should blind them to the good that corpOl ations are doing. We need them all, and a TO matter what line they may be engaged in. if We are unable to have a corporation of our own, we should be glad to note that neighbOr is pros pering in one.

PROUD ARE WE OF OUR BOYS

The American boys at the front are maintaining the tradition of American arms and giving the lie to the German propaganda that we were a nation of money grabbers and weddings. When the full strength of the American army has been thrown against the hOrdes of the kaiser then will the peo- pie realize that the trust imposed in our soldier boys IS in capable hands. We believe that within six months the direction of the allied armies will be in the hands of the Americans and then will begin push that will send these monsters of oppression reeling back tO Berlin. There will be no more con- gratuatOry telegrams that Willie has made great progress toward Paris, will there be pause in the onward rush of troops into the peaceful terri tory Of Germany. We proud of our boys. Their deeds will go avn in history and story through the centuries and the American" will be con- jure word for all that is brave and humane in man. kind among the peoples of the earth

ENACT RESTRICTIVE I. w. W. LAWS

The Miner cOngratulates Mrs. Pauline SchindIer ONeil for the introduction of laws restricting the activity of the l. w. WIS in Arizona and it is to be hoped that the measure will pass. It passed the house with but one dissenting vote, but the same measure was defeated in the senate by tie vote The activities of the l. w. W. in Arizona is evidenc ed by the accumulated mass of evidence introduced in the trial of Billy Haywood and III of his com patriots at Chicago. Haywood, who was connected with the Stuenenburg murder, at HaiIy, IdahO some years ago. was the prime mover in the I. w. w. work of destruction and who is supposed to have han Ged the funds for the German propagandists Men who were impressed into the services of the l. w. w. through fear, testifying for the government and producing such mass of eliminating evidence that 1t seems impossible that these men shall go free. Drastic measures are necessary for the SUD- presslOn of these brutal thugs, and Arizona should not be Eehnd in the enactment of laws that will properly handle them. The Miner is aware that at times many men have been unjustly charged with Ofenses and have been dealt out the death pen aty, but they few that you can readily count them on the fingers of hand for all the years of national life. But if laws are inadequate to the oifensc we may look for reign of vigilantes and the consequent unlicensed wrath of mObs vented upon the evil-dOers without trial Disloyalty sedi- ton and treason must be placed under the ban by law in Arizona, if not there will be something doing m every county of the state and many inustices may result.

PROTESTS ANDI. WIS

We have read so much about the religious scruples Of the pacificts and the aversion of the l. W. W.s to all forms of that we have become surfeited and more. The pacifst says he has conscientious scruplos against killing and therefore not soil his hands with the blood of his fellow man. But the w. W. gentleman has not such scruples. He is wiling to kill every man who opposes his will. He is of the stripe the Beast of Berlin. And to- day these two elements working hand in glove to impede every effort America is making for the future peace of the world. The pacifist reminds us of the Quaker who refused an escort from Fort Whippe to Ehrenburg in the late seventies because the Apache must know his peaceful intentions, but whose head found atop of giant cactus a few days thereafter. But the 1. W. w. is like the ghOuIs that go upon the battlefield to rob the dead and dy- ing They willing to do anything that will bring them sustenance without labor. They have burned grain fields lumber miIls cotton factories and hOuses blown up munitions plants and destroyed hum dreds of millions of dollars worth of property, and fSc what? For the gold of Germany.
 Today the American people should rise in their might and blast every of these beasts from off the earth They a menace to civilization and cannot be brought to any useful purpose. They are the outgrowth of years of grating on the workman of the country. They have found out that such men as Haywood and others have made thousands of dol lars by threats and intimidation and that they may individually and collectively carry the plan Of action.
 It is out with every who is not a genuine American, and the man who says derOgatOry word against flag country, should be drasti- caIIy dealt with. Do not take to the alien within our gates who has come here with peaceful intention and who is still preserving that intention, but the alien or American-bOrn who cannot and does not uphold America in its great work.

RElNsTATE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

We somewhat amused with the attitude of the WinslOw Mail. wherein il boosts Governor Hunt for the good he has done, ard Gcnounces all the other state officers, and the people of the state who are responsible for the abolition of capital punishment The truth of the is yfai Governor Hunt is re- ponsbe for the repeal of the laws relating to hOmi- cides and his friends are bameabIe for the increase of murders throughout the state. This great in- in capital OfIises cannot be laid to booze, as prohibition has been in force the past two years Crime is only deterred by the fear of the penalty, and murdercrs deterred by the fear that their necks will fill Loose on the gallows tree, where capital punishment is in vogue. Maine with prohibition old inc state government and with lax punishment for capital Offenses has the highest percentage 0t murders Cf any state in the Union. Among European countries Italy has abolished capi- tai punishment and its recentage of murders is the highest of all European states. There must be some deterrent influence and the fear of death is the only thing that will pause the hand of the man who would commit murder.

MIR. HUGHES DRAFTED

The appointment of former Justice
Charles E. Hughes by President Will
son to investigate the airplane stu
alton has brought with it the approval
Of the entire country. President Will
son could not have appointed a man
better able than Judge Hughes to
conduct the Investigations with dig
nifty and thoroughness and without
|sensationalism or party spirit.
The present airplane situation is a
particularly difficult one since the
public are so completely in ignorance
as to the details. 1t has known of
the appropriations and what they
were to be spent for, it has heard all
sorts of vague rumors from time to
time and now come the charges of
Gutzon Borghum with the public COM
pletely in the dark. Very likely there
are others in the dark also. Therefore
the appointment of Judge Hughes is
doubly happy since the public may
now be certain that it will be told
what is safe to be known and that in
any case the investigation will be
complete and thorough. President
Wilson has scored again in lifting the
whole discussion abvoe any possible

FOREIGN WRITER TELLS
OF RED CROSS WORK

AS drove down the Champs Elysee
about two weeks ago, on that marvel
pous avenue which in April used to be
so packed that you could scarcely
move between the Arc de Triomphe
and the Place de la Concorde, count
ed just twenty-four motors, most OF
them bent on war errands, yet Paris
seems to have been consecrated by
her long effort Of endurance. The air
raids at night and the commandments
during the day have given the city a
new sort Of beauty, a peculiar distinc-
tion which comes with suffering.
What the immensely of this suffering
is most Americans cannot, at this
distance, imagine.
To many French people today the
war itself is no longer Of any person
|ai, but only Of patriotic interest be-
cause they have lost on the battlefield
all those they loved. Their homes have
been pillaged, their property de-
Istroyed. their business ruined, their
sons, their husbands, their fathers
killed Their magnificent courage is
unbroken, but all the joy has gone out
|of their lives. The hope would be
gone as we'll, if it were not for the
work of mercy being accomplished by
the American Red Cross among this
civil population.

of civilization, Joffre did not ask:
How many lives will it take to win
