THE DONKEY,S OWN SON.

In his Harrisburg speech, which was fololwed by Senator Jones' resolution for an investigation of the sources of propaganda in favor of the German brewing interests, A. Mitchell Palmer said: What have we as the Demo- cratic party tried to show? How have we justified our continued existence in this state? Why, the thing that we have been fighting is, and we have attempted to show, time after time, to the people of our state that the Repub- lican party has made itself the willing tool of vicious interests, secretly seek ing to control the government through the agency of their political machine and deceiving the people into the be- lief that the Republican effort was a patriotic effort to govern instead of selfish effort to accomplish the selfish and greedy ends of these special inter- ests." As an illustration of the lengths to which these interests will go, Palmer uncovered the fact that several of the big German brewing in- terests had contributed to the editor of the Washington Times $407, ,500, and the editor wrote voluminously in favor of the retention of beer and light wines as articles of consumption, and condemned the prohibition inclusion of those intoxicants. This editor was Arthur Brisbane, for years the editor of the New York Journal, the brains of the Hearst machine, and a Demo- crat with decided leaning toward So- cialism. The Democratic party must have enjoyed mighty little satisfaction from such an expose as that. Bris- bane, ever since he took over the Washington Times, has been sounding the praises of Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo, whose ambition to be- come President is frequently com mented on.

legislature does not limit it at the next session.
 With these two changes in our con- stitution, and under our present land laws it would be possible for the State Land Commission to lease to one indi- vidual one hundred sections of state lands for term of one hundred years. There is absolutely no limit as to num- Der of sections or the number of years the State Land Commission might give one individual or company.
 These are the facts and beg every voter in Coconino county to study them. I am not emphatically oppos- ing these lease laws just because 1 am a laborer and do not own large sheep or cattle outfit, but because it is right to oppose any law which allows few outfits to control the whole public do- main to the detriment of the small property holder and the laborer, who perhaps will desire a chance at our state lands later on. l shall do all in my power to defeat these or any other laws that will monopolize our state lands into the hands of few. I shall have more to say on this subject later on. Yours truly,
 T. H. CURETON.

SOCIALIST LEADER DEFIANT.

Asked on trial for vloiaIing the fed eral espionage act, what he had to say for himself, Eugene V. Debs said:
 q deny nothing. l repudiate noth- ing. I retract nothing"
 Debs was found guilty of attempt ing to incite insubordination and dis loyalty, obstructing recruiting, and promoting the cause of the enemy.
 The conviction of leaders and agita- tors like Haywood, Debs and Mooney who have in the past had the confi- dence and loyal support of the radical clements of union labor, must discour- age radicalism.
 But the defiant attitude of Debs shows the animus of these anarchistic leaders and shows that they are not amenable to American opinion.
 They are foreign enemies and de serve to be treated as such and labor organizations will more and more shun their leadership. Those who have bid for political support from radicalism should take notice that it has had its day in court.
 There will now be no excuse for labor parades to carry banners and wear badges for men convicted by hon est juries.

MINES MUST HAVE MORE MEN.

No government ever had more knot ty of bigger economic problems to solve than those now confronting this country.
 Men holding high executive posi- tions under the government are clothed with powers and burdened offices no sinecure.
 These civilian officers need and are receiving the aid of all lines of in- dustry.
 Right now, government aid in min ing is needed as never before. To fix prices for the metals is one form of help that has been resorted to at diff ferent times, but this is not sufficient. The most serious problem confronting the mines is a shortage of labor, which, as a larger number of men enter the army, will grow more acuts, and importantly retard production.
 How this situation is to be met is one of the problems for the govern ment to solve, and it is no easy one, unless foreign labor can be tempo rarily imported. It would seem that this latter is about the only way to re- lieve the labor shortage, and it might be done as an emergency measure, re- gardless of the opposition of selfish interests that would prevent such q move. Anything that will help win the war is to be commended, and the continued large operation of the mines certainly is a war necessity.
 Mining men have been speeding op- erations at the mines as best they could under adverse conditions, and merit praise for what they have ac- complished. But they must have more miners to extract the ore if the good work is to go on.-Mining and Finan- cial Record.

AMERICAN INITIATIVE.

For the past forty years this coun- try has had more rapid development industrially than any other nation.
 Private capital with American init iative and enterprise behind it built more railroads, telephone and tele- graph lines, developed more mines, advanced farther in the development and use of electricity, invented more labor and life-saving machinery and paid its workmen higher wages than any country in the world.
 In one short year American indus tries, cooperating with the govern ment, have been able to build more ships, dig more metal, produce more oil, furnish more men for the army and navy and transport them 5000 miles overseas, than any European nation dared dream of.
 How was it done? By the inborn spirit of American initiative, bred for generations in free people used to going ahead and helping themselves under government primarily created to protect it's citizens in their peace ful undertakings and pursuits.
 When the crisis came our people were ready to turn their ingenuity to- ward winning the. war. Our minds had not been blighted by the paralyzing hand of paternalism as found in such countries as Germany, where the gov ernment virtually controls industry and thinks and acts for it's people.
 In the face of this record we find the political agitators attempting to overthrow the whole American doc Urine of government and substitute European forms of collective owner ship.
 Competition and private initiative gave us our magnificent train service, telephones in virtually every home, gas and electric improvements that the European peasants never heard of, automobiles for the multitude, ac cident and life insurance for the masses and last, but not least, a spirit of independence and self-reliance such as no other nation on earth possesses.
 And yet the agitator advises kick ing this record into cooked hat by of broken down European ideas which remove all incentive for private endeavor and progress.

YOU PAYNE PLAY.

Senator Jones of New Mexico seems to be in hearty accord with the other Democrats of the nation that it would be a direct slam at the country and especially the President if any Repub- hcans are elected this fall. Senator Jones wires the New Mexico Demo- crats to the effect that all Germany is looking and hoping for Republican victory. In pamphlet which vocif- erously exhorts the people to elect a Democratic Senate and Congress, the Democratic National Committee says: Tt would be source of comfort and elation to the kaiser and his cohorts" l" meaning the election of a Republican Congress. In their campaign against the Republican governor of Maine, a Senator said: Beat the Hun and the governor"
 This unfair and un-American meth cd of attempting to bolster up the Democratic party does not meet with the approval of any fair-minded man or woman. The Democratic leaders can not point to a single unselfish act of Republicans, and it may De pointed out that the Republican members of SOhBISSo HdNt HSlpcu tie DcHioSi aus out many times when they were in a squabble among themselves and were delaying laws demanded by the Presi- dent. The Republican minority has stood behind the President more con- sistently than have the members of his own party and without expectation of reward
 The real truth of the matter is that where you find man of vast business affairs, working for the government for $1 per year, you will find Repub- ican; when you find man working for the government on a fat salary, you find Democrat.
 On the face of the returns so far there is no reason for Republicans to be charged with disloyalty by Demo- crats, except the selfish one, because they refuse to vote the Democratic ticket.
 These leaders in their eagerness for office are confusing loyalty to America with loyalty to the Demo- cratic party and are using the slogan: "My party, right or wrong, always"

I. H. CURETON OPPOSES
 PROPOSED LEASE LAWS

On November 9th we will vote on two proposed changes in our state constitution regarding the lease of state lands.
 The first one seeks to amend Sec tion 10 of Article 10 of the Constitu- tion of Arizona and reads as follows:
 "The legislature shall provide by proper laws for the sale of all state lands or the lease of such lands, and shall further provide by said laws for the protection of the actual bona fide residents and lessees of said lands, whereby such residents and lessees o1 said lands shall be protected in their rights to their improvements (includ- ing water rights) in such manner that in case of lease to other parties the for mer lessee shall be paid by the suc- ceeding lessees the value of such inn provements and rights and actual bona fide residents and lessees shall have preference to a renewal of their leases leases at a reassessed rental fixed as provided by law"
 The constitution at present reads as follows:
 "The legislature shall provide by proper laws for the sale of all state lands or the lease of such lands FOR TERMS NOT LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS, and shall further provide by said laws for the protection of the actual bona fide residents and lessees of said lands, whereby such residents and lessees shall be protected in their rights to their improvements (includ- ing water rights) in such manner that in case of lease to other parties the former lessee shall be paid by the succeeding lessee the value of said inn provements and rights and actual bona fide residents and lessees shall have preference to renewal of their leases at a reassessed rntal fixed as provided by law"
 You will note that "FOR TERMS NOT LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS" is left out, which will leave the limit of time for which lease to state lands can be made up to the land com mission in case the next legislature does not pass further laws limiting the number of years.
 The second amendment seeks to amend Section II of Article 10 of the Constitution of Arizona and reads as follows:
 "No individual, corporation or as- sociation shall be allowed to purchase more than one hundred sixty (160) acres of agricultural land or more than six hundred forty (640) acres of grazing land"
 The constitution at present reads as follows:
 "No individual, corporation or asso- citation shall EVER be allowed to pur- chase OR LEASE more than one hun dred sixty (160) acres of agricultural land or more than six hundred forty (640) acres of grazing land"
 You will note that EVER" and "OR LEASE" is left out in this to the constitution, which leaves the limit of the number of sec tions of state lands to one person up to the Land Commission in case the

It is with deep regret we note that the Republican county central commit tee in their resolutions rudely shocked the highly sensitized political feelings of Mercer Hemperly, and we hope that hreafter they will submit to him all their political writings and talkings in order that they may be properly censored before being turned loose to the cold world. MT. Hemperley is em- inently fair in his attitude and evil dently believes that all Republicans should be jailed until the election is over; this would simplify things great ly for his Democratic party, if only the durned primaries would work right.

Our future is vitally linked with that of the Allied nations.
 There is no vacation on the firing line.
 An abundant harvest-a thankful heara-and safe reserves.
 The 1918 food reserve is the only safe insurance of 1919 food supplies.
 Send the ammunition over. Buy Lib erty Bonds.
 Enlist as our soldiers do. Buy bonds and keep them.
The Coconino sun., 1918-10-04

Many people who were at first much peeved at the food regulations when put into effect, can now look back and more fully realize the great value of the organized effort to conserve food stuffs, not only that great shipments could be made to the Allies, but in preventing prohibitive prices and equalizing the supply in the different parts of the country. No one in America has suffered and millions of tons of foodstuffs were saved from waste.
