The Public

We noticed curious statement in account yesterday morning of the organization of the national war labor board in which it was said that former President Taft had been selected by the employers for membership of the board and that Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City has been selected by employees repre- sentng the public" It appears to that the last three words are superfuous and that they misleading They calculated to leave an impress sion that the employers constitute a class whose interests opposed to only those of the employees but to those of all the of society something that in the nature of things could not be the case The interests of the public at large allied with those of the employer and the employe when those relations harmonious and the public interests are disturbed when those relations become inharmonious.
 No doubt considerable part of the public would repudatc MT. Walsh its representative and another part of the public would suggestion if made that Mr. Taft it's representative. What we mean
Arizona republican., 1918-04-11

is that the public does want itself committed in advance either side Of a controversy between em- ployer and employe for in the. past sometimes one side has been in the wrong and sometimes the other has been at fault.
 The records of MT. Taft and Mir. Walsh on the labor question pretty widely apart if MT. Taft may he said to have record. As federal judge he announced decisions which regarded by organ izcd labor unfriendy, though he naturally claimed that those decisions did represent any sentiment of his but merely interpretations of tho law for which he not responsible. MT. Walsh Lead If the federal industrial relations commissions demon strated that he strong advocate of everything organized labor demanded and of much that seemed to have little bearing industrial relations.
 But these two as good types as be found of the opposing sides any controversy which may arise between employer and empioye. If these two representatives be brought together hero need be labor disputes And it is that result in which the public is interested and not the by which the result is reached.

BABY BOND CASE |S
 SETTLED AT MESA

MESA, April 11.-A charge of petty larceny made against Bert Vance, well
 known business man of Mesa, by May or r. E. Beville, was tried yesterday afternoon in Judge Kingsbury's court and afforded not a little amusement
 for the spectators. It appears that at certain Mesa stores, dice are played for war saving stamps and baby bonds.
 Two nights ago, Mayor Beville offered to purchase some of the bonds at s4 each and number of gentlemen
 standing near sold to him, among the
 number being Bert Vance. Beville gave
 Vance his check for $S and wended his f way homeWard the possessor of a
 number of the bonds. Afterward,
 when checking up, he concluded that he
 had received but one bond from Vance
 and so the next morning, stopped the payment of the check at the bank, though it happened that the holder had
 cashed it earlier in the day. Accosting Vance, the mayor asked for his other
 bond and his claim was indignantly
 denied by the other. Finally Vance
 took off the mayors hat, and removing
 from the inner band two bonds, Git ap-
 pears that the band was the receptacle used for carrying them), refunded the $S, whereupon Beville sWore to a com Pi"iHe oHdi SlnS vance Nlln the inert ol one bond. The local populace have
 enjoyed the affair considerably, and Judge Kingsbury's court was crowded
 yesterday when the assistant county attorney appeared to prosecute the
 case. Asked for his lawyer, the de- fendant replied, Here I am,, and the
 case went to trial. The attorney for the prosecution asked a few questions and
 told the judge it was matter for him
 to decide, whereupon his honor
 promptly said, Case Dismissed"

AMERICANS GET SOME HALF.
TRUTHS.

The chief reason perhaps why some
Americans are becoming impatient that
some great counter stroke has not been
essayed against the Germans in the
Amiens district of France is because they
are misinformed by the various com
ments that have been made outside of
the official reports issued by the allied
war offices. The so-called military writ
ers of both continents have presented
statements which, no doubt, have been
based upon part speculation and part
fact and which make decidedly shaky
foundation on which to erect structure
in time of war. On the other hand, the
military leaders of the allied forces, Gen
eral Foch in particular, are conversant
with the entire situation and are not
going on speculation at all as to their
own side of the great battle and, more
over, they have very considerable fund

effectually closed but the might of Ger

ster that menaees the world must be

the conviction solidifying in the minds OF
the American people most rapidly dur
ing these days of awful conflict in west
ern Europe. II is certain that Germany
will not desist from world conquest I'M
til she is reduced to military impotence,
Hence it is the part of Great Britain,

tanned by Americans on land or on sea.
Every once in while the rumor arises
that the Americans have been in great
battle, have been defeated and have suf-
| fered terrible losses in men. About as
often arises the story that large trans
port has been sunk with all on board
some thousands of soldiers Then comes
variation of the rumors to the effect
that the allies have suffered blow from
which it is not possible for them to re-
cover. After that comes the denial and
the discovery that the stories were float
ed as a part of the German propaganda
for weakening the backbone of the Amer
lean people and for developing a demand
for peace. Those who believe those ru
mors at the outset and who become the
messengers for spreading the stories are,
in actuality, aiding and abetting the
kaiser and his bloody crew. they are un-
consciously playing into the hands OF
the pro.German propagandists in the
United States and are thereby doing just
so much to handicap the United States
and our allies. The obvious remedy is to-
refuse to believe such rot as is frequently
being foisted on the public, even though
the rot be on the other ide-for in
stance, the story of the capture of 300,
600 Germans and along with them the
crown prince himself. Don't believe a
rumor until you see the official verifica
ton; and, by all means, don't spread the
gossip. The government at Washington
has promised that it will give out
promptly all information of any impor
tant event in connection with the United /
States forces engaged in the war, fol. !

is to tell the truth to the people and

tale of great Importance don't believe it
absolutely until you get the official veri

THE STEADY PULL FOR THE LIB.
ERTY LOAN


The opening day of the third Liberty
loan campaign in the United States re
vealed that the people of the country
were so ready with their dollars thai
there was no doubt about the success o.
the campaign. The three billions of dol
lars will be subscribed and greatly over
subscribed. The fact that the banks Of
the country had already absorbed 5000
100000 of the preliminary certificates Of
indebtedness, the forerunners of the bond
issue, pointed almost positively to the
fact that the loan would be complete
success; and that indication is being
greatly strengthened by the early re.
spouse. Naturally, the rush Win slow
down to a great extent because the open
ing days demand was the result of the
accumulated energy of the pre-campaign
canvass; but there will still be a steady,
general demand for the bonds from the
great mass of people who had not pre-
viously been solicited Now is the time
for the calm, sober effort to put the cam
paign through triumphantly. Vermont
is always one of the last states to feel
the impetus OF enthusiasm generated in
the large centers of population but Yer
mont is catching the waves and will be
certain to meet its quota if the patriotic
people cooperate. Your help is needed.

of fact about the enemy. We outsiders
are inclined TO build our theories of what
ought to be done without having any
where near full knowledge of the situa.
tion and, withal, without having much
knowledge OF military affairs. 1t is easy
to see, therefore, that any theories we
may build up about the time and the
place for decisive stroke or for a
stauneh defensive are decidedly faulty.
We have been served with half fact
and one half speculation. 1t will pay us
to hold our patience.

ment of Paris by the German long range
gun; vet he had no words of regret when
his minions were killing Americans by
the scores on the high seas long before
the United States went to war against
him. If the Swiss are at all wise they
will see that the emperor of Germany
really is not capable of regret from the
heart. All his expressions of regret are
mere camouhage, intended to retain by
deception the few neutral friends left for
his cultivation and his own aggrandize-

would leave his southern border ex-

can hope to prevent the allies from get
