One of the most unfair pieces of business that mas been brought to our attention for some time IS the turning down of workers by the gentlemen Gf we may call them such), who have the hiring of men for the government ship-building at San Pedro.
 Many men, out of Arizona, were attracted to that pace Cmore out of patriotic than for gain)' o enter the service there but upon application were poIiteIy told that they not wanted. The impli- cation is that they were supposed to be l. W. WIS because they came from Arizona.
 We think this unfair, for Arizona, as whole, Is one of the best states in the United States and its people are as loyal can be made.
 One of the boys trying to enter their employ, gave them the address of an employer whONcould pledge for him for eight years, but he said: We don't know those people,"
 This is the treatment in spite of the fact that they are still advertising for men for those jObs Perhaps if this should be investigated we would find something on the order of the other recent eX- posures of that city, By Dam Site, in which they found that only men who purchased houses and lots from the contractors, could go to work.
 if this is so, why not take down their signs, "Men wanted?"

Many otherwise apparently well informed news paper and magazine writers have been knocking the government management of every war preparation department until the governmental departments have had to give out information that should have at all times been kept under One of these IS the vast quantities of munitions that have already gone to the other side for our big army. Just think Of 27OOGOOOO rounds of small arms ammunition being delivered the last few months and millions of shells, guns and other equipment being put where 1t can be readily reached at critical times. Everywhere the departments are doing their bit. Every plant IS speeded up to get the best possible results every z4 hours. Some of the men only worked six hours Der day and four shifts put to get every par tce of work from the machines and to keep the men from getting wearied. Every line of endeaVor IS under men who believe in getting everything possible
 in the shortest possible time without counting the cost And yet there are thousands of men Tn the country who say the government is inefficient They said the same of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ai- though that gentleman is now the only one Tn the cabinet who is excluded from the class of Inetfl- cients.

Will You Be Ready For
 Inspection?

The boys at the front now are oc- cupying trenches. Some are in the first line trenches, dispatches tell us.
 You at home are in the back line trench.
 The fellows in the front line trenches must stand inspection regu- larly.
 You in the back line trench. too, must stand inspection. Will you be ready? n- s
 Remember, those brave lads across the sea are depending upon you to stand by them. Everything they have came from the fighters in the back line treneh-the big trench right here in America.
 Perhaps you don't realize the great responsibility resting with you. It is just as great as that shouldered by the brave fellow across the sea
 Be a real soldier in the back line trench, SO you can stand inspection.
 Be a good soldier in the home trench-Buy Liberty Bonds.
 The wars success or failure, so far as Uncle Sam is concerned, depends on what you do or don't do.
 Save food, help the Red Cross, buy Liberty Bonds.
 Just look yourself over. Take an in- ventory of your bank account. Gaze over your record and see if you've done your duty as back trench sol dier since Uncle Sam entered the war.
 If you can afford to buy Liberty Bonds, and don't then you are aid ing the Kaiser.
 Are you that kind of a back trench fighter?

DO YOUR BIT

Let every fellow do his bit, And smile while he is doing it. It may be leading hopes forlorn; It may be only hoeing corn; Still he is acting like a man, In doing 1t the best he can. Let's all find out what Duty means, In bearing arms or planting beans; And ere we reach the Great Beyond, Let's dig down deep and buy bond. Dig for the coins while we have got
 'em, Down deep until we scrape the bot
 tom. Let's back our boys who are facing
 hell, To serve their uncle Samuel.

PROMPT ACTION DEMANDED

If the people of Arizona going to put end to the wave of murder that has wept the state in the past eighteen months prompt action is de- handed An election is to be held this fall and only concerted action needed to crystalline sentiment in order to restore the death penalty to the end that human life may again be held in high regard in this state.
 Pima county has suffered along the the other counties of the state. The gunmen here no long CT terrOrzed. Some of them carry commissions. No more wanton murder has been chrOnicled in the an- nals of the county than the killing of Charley LOebs and his sayers gOaed the fact that they could not get anything worse than life imprisonment.
 More men are packing guns in Pima county today than were carrying them ten years ago. The death penalty was then in effect and the packing of deadly weapons had almost disappeared from the ranges while murders were few and far between. A couple of hangings in the Pima county jail had wholesome effect on the gunmen and there were few killings in those years.
 But things are different now. The bad man with two or three or more notches on his weapon is with us again and even officers of the state and county are wont to be too free with the six shooters they are permitted to carry. It should not be necessary qualification for an officer of the law that he IS quick on the draw for of them draw too quickly and without any excuse This does not apply to all officers for there are some who show forbearance. A case of this kind occurred when bOOtegger while under arrest attempted to kill deputy sheriff near Oracle the other day. The deputy, although he would have been justified in taking the mans lfe rappled with him and with the aid of another officer who was riding ahead of him, OyerpOwer his man and brouqht him in case where officer evidently used his gun when there no apparent necessity was the shooting of Charley YakimOvich by dep uty live stock sanitary inspector.
 We realize that men who sent out to get bad men should hardly be expected to be Sunday school teachers and that when officer is dealing with man who is carrying six-shOOter, he should not be expected to take any great chances but there have been many cases in Pima county inrecent years where state city and county officers have been too free with their guns and in one instance with rope, and all who read the newspapers must recognize that the restoration of the death penalty will have the et feet of making both the bad and the officer who is too free with his six-shOoter show higher regard for the life of a fellow being.
 Ii is time that Arizona putting the fear or God and the rope in the hearts of the gunmen'- Tucson Citizen.
