EMPRESS ZITA MADE
 ILL BY ACCUSATIONS
rRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM July 9.-Denying rumors circulating in Austria Hun gary regarding Empress Zita. the cor respondent at Vienna of the Tijd says:
 "It is true the Austrian empress partly desires peace and has with proper dignity advocated it. but the rumor that an energetic Austrian of fersive against Italy was delayed by her influence is slanderous as also is the rumor that the empress was to blame for one or two set backs which followed the offensive.
 It is still more slanderous to in volve her honor as a woman with i'm perlai Statesmanship and the imperial house. The empress, whose sensitive ness is well known. suffered not a lit tie under the imputations which have driven her to a sick bed
 The islander is more painful as it even assailed the welded fidelity which so distinguished the conduct of the imperial couple while the non-ex- istent correspondence which was said to contain utterances of the empress regarding peace is reported to be the first cause of the differences between the emperor and empress"

Mir. Hearst's Joint Debate

William R. Hearst, in late advertisement, has challenged Colonel Roosevelt to joint debate after the war on the subject of patriotic performances to determine which of them shall have saved the nation. In the nature of things there can be no two-handed debate at that distant period any other such sSject for the reason that Colonel Roose- welt will not then claim to have saved the nation and will not prefer claim even have given any valuable service to the nation Many Americans, and all of them are not friendly to Colonel Roosevelt however, believe that his service has already of inestmabe'value. While some of them deprecate the violence and bitterness of his criticism of the administration. they admit that the country has come to his way of thinking how the war should be conducted and they trace the change from the eth- argy, the blindness the blunderng and the ineffec- tveness of six months to the continued belabor- ing of the administration by Colonel Roosevelt.
 But the only question which could be discussed at such joint debate as that proposed by Mr. Hearst would be: Has William Randolph Hearst saved the nation and established worldwide democracy on the ruins of autocracy?" MT Hearst would of course hold the affirmative against all corners. MT. Hearst claimed to have precipitated. and even forced, the Spanish American upon a reluc- lant administration and to have freed Cuba and . to have given us the Philippines and Porto Rico and a broader place among the nations It would not
 
 editorials he should claim that he forced this country into with Germany
 In one of his recent paid advertisements to dis . prove the countrywide charge of dsloyaty which has been made against him, he stated that some one congressman had declared that he the real father of the American navy, that all the other fathers of whom we have heard were only putative Some congressman may have laid such foundation for Mr. Hearsts claim of naval paternity, a great many wild and good things have been said about Mir Hearst from time to time by his admirers. We remember fourteen years ago, when Mir Hearst was aspiring to the presidency and trying to secure the delegation from this territory now distinguished Arizonian in an exhuberant mo- ment instituted comparison between Jesus Christ and MT. Hearst which not wholly invdious to the latter Mir Hearst accepted the comparison as entirely appropriate. He never deprecated it. so far as we have learned. And. may add, nobody ever took the trouble to challenge the accuracy of the comparison.
 The joint debate which MT. Hearst proposes for the establishment of the identity of himself as the savior of the nation and the purveyor democracy to the world can have but ending and that one very gratifying to himself There will be no debater there beside himself; the negative will go by default

CHANDLER EDITOR
 BACK THANK COD

CHANDLER, July 11.-That the Salt River Valley is plenty good enough for him, was the opinion of $. A. Meyer, editor of the Arizonan, just home on an extended vacation trip through the east. MT. Meyer travelled through the middle west states, all of which have bumper crops. Kansas has wheat crop of 10O.000 ,000 bushels; Iowa and Illinois have the largest corn crops in their history and more wheat has been planted and harvested in Iowa this year than ever before.
 While, 'f course, I was there dur ing the best part of the year." said the editor, "one must remember that the heated spell in the middle west is just as intense as ours, with the difference that Arizona's is more protracted. In the city of Des Moines. which I had not seen in seven years, wonderful civic strides have been made. While was there, they were just putting over' their thrift stamp campaign of Sl,500,0 The organization doing the work was tie most efficient I had ever seen and every person was canvassed with the result, naturally, of making the campaign success.
 The people of the middle west seem | to be more aroused over the war than are those farther west. They have their work down to a system with per- manent organizations under the direc- tion of the state council of defense which is headed by an old warrior and fighter. Lafe Young owner of the Des Moines Capital. The German language has been forbidden in Iowa. and the symbol of disloyalty. yellow paint. is reported almost daily as a decoration of house or store front of too-free talker.'

The Deportation Damage Cases

We don't know where those damage deportation suits with which the docket at Tombstone is being inundated to be tried. The plaintiffs fear that jurors cannot be secured in Cochise county. where every citizen is believed to be side the other The subject has been widely and heatedly discussed throughout the state that practically every and woman is already in possession of opinion which it would take strong evidence to We know scores of good citizens in this county whose already formed opinion evidence could eradicate
 The legislature is supposed to be representative of people, the members of the legislature dis tincty bitterly aligned every question remotely touching the deportation cases. We do not recall that single member of either house took a middle ground when this subject presented itself. It became political issue and a acute than any other and political issues be settled only at the polls.

THE IRISH PEOPLE
(Our Sunday Visitor.i

We note from criticisms which sent to us that few people in this country sufficiently ac- quanted with the Irish situation to discuss it at all Here few facts which must not be left out of consideration when thinking of the Irish question:
 CD Ireland not only the first country to furnish volunteers for the British army, but has, to date supplied 170,000 This represents about per cent of Irelands population. Hence it means that she gave three times many propor tonately the United States has both by volun- teer enlistments and conscription.
 @ Irelands population, because of unsatisfactory conditions has diminished by half during the fifty years and she has the largest percentage of old people of country earth; the young. principally have been the ones who have emigrated
 (3) To Ireland must be credited not merely the 10000 who joined the colors at home. but the hundreds of thousands who have been fighting with the British from the United States, Canada Aus trala, India New Zealand, and countries allied with Great Britain against the central powers.
 (4) Many more soldiers would have enlisted vol untarly if England had permitted Ireland organize recruit and equip her own regiments, do other dependencies of Great Britain. The British war office set itself against the raising of Irish divisions suc
 (5) Ireland has been awaiting the fulfilment of Englands promise to grant home rule, by which Irish parliament could be formed and to which the conscripton proposal might be submitted as it was in Canada, Australia New England, Newfoundland
 (6) Some months ago the United States govern ment published report revealing the percentage of unnaturalized citizens who waived the exemption (from conscrpton) to which they were entitled and the proportion of Irish who ceded their right to exemption was largest of any of the aliens
 CD If the Catholic bishops of Ireland are acting as advisors of the Irish people in their resistance of conscription. it is to take the opposition movement in hand to prevent bloodshed and violence in any form. They remember the disturbance of two years ago.
 (S) The Irish situation is not at all a religious situation but purely national The pope was neither consulted did he offer advice The none never meddies in the political affairs of any nation

The Tax on Useless Service

The proposed tax servants Is unobjectionabe. Like tax. it would be laid upon those who are best able to bear it. and so much of our indirect and internal revenue is laid and cannot be so laid. For instance, customs duties well internal taxes on commodities of common lie with equal weight upon the rich and the poor. In the civil there tax on matches and there probably will be again; yet the family of the poor man pays as much of that the family of the rich man. taxation on chauffeurs, valets, household and other servants would be a tax superabundant wealth These servants may be needed in the main tenance of sumptuous establishments; they may be kept largely for show. Anyway, those who keep them should be made to pay the price.
 For the valet, the should be not less than about times his wages if he should be allowed to be kept at all Vaets under the work or fight order. A congressman wished the other day, and very properly and periodically, that there might be law under which those who keep vaets might arrested and punished.
 There is still another angle from which may this thing. The keeping of vaets servants for the discharge of unnecessary tasks is not in keeping with the spirit of democracy it has been revealed to us within year. It is an offense to that spirit It is approach to form of human slavery.
 Any useful service is honorable, whether it be digging dtches preaching the gospel. But at this time any useless service is dishonorabe degrading, both to the who performs it and the for whom it is performed. The man who cannot dress himself, provided he is physically able to do is affront to any democracy. and the who dresses him performs any needless menial service for him. is affront to all outstanding, independent men.
 His condition is far than that of the black slave in -bellum days. His work in the cotton field was, at any rate, service to mankind

|CE SHORTAGE IN
 CHANDLER |S ACUTE

CHANDLER. July 1.-The town of Chandler has been suffering from an ice famine since last Saturday, due. it is said, to the heavy shipments of can taloups out of the valley, which re- quire iced cars for transportation The town gets it's supply from Mesa, through Delmer Williams, the local merchant Normally he supplies the town with an average of 21a tons daily but this has been cut down to I F tons a day, and due to the many new people and the continued hot weather. the shortage has become acute.
 w. T. Black, a local lian, also se- cures ice at Mesa and distributes it through the Gilbert and Chandler country, selling only to ranchers. De- spite this, the shortage is still desper- ate. The matter has been taken up with the food administrator as lack of ice not only affects meat markets and spells the food of householders but is proving a menace to the health of the community. MT. Williams has been working night and day in efforts to se- cure an adequate supply of this abso- lute necessity in the summer time.

NATATOR|UM WILL
 BE ADDED AT PARK

Celery Wig park which has been opened less than three weeks, has re- ceived such patronage from the people of the valley and Phoenix, that ad- ditional amusements will be installed there, among them being a natatorium, Murray J. Morley announced yester- day.
 The park met with an instant suc- cess" said Mr. Wickersham, manager of the dance pavilion. Tt is no longer a speculation with MT. Morley. who took over the park. realizing that the people of the valley would patronize it sufficiently to make it pay. But. frankly speaking, the park has proved already to be a greater success than even MT. Morley anticipated. Visitors at Celery Wig park are surprised at the beautiful location. They were not aware that such a l handsome grove of trees existed here. This natural beauty assists MT. Morley in making the improvements there and l in about two weeks the park will have a complete assortment of amusements.
 "Workmen are now engaged putting in the natatorium for use in both summer and winter. They are also building cottages for winter visitors and a band stand where famous musi- cal organizations will soon be heard
 Already there is at Celery Wig parl, a first class cafe, a dance pavilion with the largest floor in Arizona; a merry round, a wading pool for children, a Japanese tea garden and numerous drinking places, where both Celery Wig and other drinks are sold.
 Tt is the ambition of MT. Morley tc make of Celery Wig park a resort which will be known favorably all ovel I the country"

CHANDLER WISHES
 FLAG KEPT CLEAN


 CHANDLER, Jul 11.-Condemning the practice of using the war for ad- yertising purposes and urging the dis use of the flag for any commercial end whatever, the Chandler Patriotic league has adopted a set of resolutions along these lines. which has been for Warded to the state council of defense asking that effective action to correct such abuses be taken. Among other things the resolutions set forth that "it has become common practice to dis play indiscriminately the American flag in places of amusement for ordi- nary decoration, and elsewhere for commercial purposes: the singing of the National anthem has been sub iected to ~imilar abuse: such usage is highly improper and tends to lessen our respect for tfe national colors and anthem"
