ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
William N. Lester Suffers Stroke of
 Paralysis and Dies.

William Noah Lester, well known pioneer citizen of Nogales, was striken with paralysis at his home on Elm street last Friday.
 He was immediately taken to St. Joseph's hospital where everything possible was done to save his life which from the first was despaired of, on account of the advanced age of the stricken man, who was 73 years old.
 He passed away Wednesday morning, his son, w. A. Lester, of California, who with his wife, arrived Tuesday, being at his fathers bed side when the end came.
 The funeral was held yester day from Marsh's undertaking parlors, interment being in the Old Fellows cemetery. A large number of friends. many of whom had known Bill" Lester since his coming to Nogales more than twenty years ago, followed the remains to their last resting place.
 Since coming to Nogales, deceased had engaged in the business of contracting and building. He was a stone mason by trade, and was highly respected by all.
 Deceased is survived by two sons, C.. R. and w. A. Lester, of California; three brothers, George w, Thomas and Jesse Lester, and two sister, Hattie and Anna.
 In their loss they have the sympathy of this community. where their father and brother was we'll known and we'll liked, for many years.

Who Rules Germany?

The existence of the Reichstag in a

the higher classes" think proper
The system works perfectly, as is
shown by the fact that when the gov
ernment dissolves the Reichstag be
cause it refuses to be good, the elec

ent majority.
The perfection of German aristoc-
racy is seen in the fact that this

TO governmental matters, but is extend

social system as we'll The big indus

The German social system is as

of feudalism as the political system
The working man, it is true, is well

the middle and upper classes are
schoOled in the Gymnasium, where

the University and to the professions.
| The higher government officials also
come from this class. This means
that all positions requiring more than

The best name for the German idea
of government is that applied by for
mer Chancellor Won Buelow in his
book Imperial Germany" He calls
Germany a Military State" There is
no more descriptive name than this.
Germany has a Parliament or Reichs-
tag, to be sure, but the Reichstag has
no real control over the Army. Sup.
plies are voted years in advance, and
taxes once levied continue to be col
lected without the consent of Parlia-
ment-its consent is only necessary
for new taxes. The Chancellor is not
responsible to the Reichstag, but is
appointed by the Emperor, and the
Emperor appoints whom he pleases.
The Foreign Minister and the other
officers that in this country would be
cabinet officers, are not responsible to
Parliament but are responsible to the
Chancellor But the Army is not re-
sponsible to the Chancellor-it is the
strong right arm of the Emperor alone.
The General Staff is the Staff of the
Emperor 1t is the most powerful
group of men in Germany Their plans
are secret and they cover years--eyen
scores of years-ahead. No wonder
that Won Buelow calls Germany a
Military State"
Besides the Emperor and Parlia.
ment Germany is governed by the
Bundesrat, or Council of the Empire,
of which we in America hear cry lit
lie This body is far more pow eriui
than the Reichstag, of which we hear
great deal 1t represents the Vari-
)us States of the Empire-that is, it
represents the rulers of the twenty
five states which constitute Germany.
The delegates are diplomats, the per
sOnal representatives, of the numerous
monarchs, great and small of Ger
many. The representation of the states
is as follows. Prussia has seventeen
delegates, Bavaria has six, and there
are seventeen states with only one
apiece. The states vote as unit as
their respective rulers order. The
one-delegate states are, in practice,
completely under the control of the
Emperor All of the deliberations of
the Bundesrat are secret. 1t is re
sponsible to nothing on earth - not
even to public judgment upon the logic
and motives back of its secret discus
sions. Most legislation for Germany
begins in this body and its consent is
necessary for all legislation. Thus
the Princes of Germany, and in the
last resort the Emperor, have the
power of absolute veto on all "popu-
lar" reforms and legislation.
But even the Reichstag is not gen
timely representative body. The elec-
toral districts of the Reichstag were
laid cut in 1871. Since that date there
has been practically no change. The
growth of population has been in the
cities, so that members elected in the
Liberal or Social Democrat centers
ere elected by hundreds of thousands
of voters, and those in the other dis
tricts by a few thousand A Berlin
deputy represents 125,000 voters, and
Junker of East Prussia is elected
by an average of $4,000.

THE SOCIALISTIC PERIL

The national peril from the disin- tegratIng influences of socialism right ly name would not be very great.
 But for lack of understanding just what socialist leads to, and ignorance of its character makes it dangerous.
 A large number of groups of citi- zens are always looking for new poli- tical fads to follow and experiments to try.
 The time has come when every Am erican had better take stock and face the menace of socialism squarely.
 Socialism is the residue accumulat- ing in this country as the melting pot of all nations and is growing steadily.
 Unless we find some way to educate the voters there will be more men like Berger of Milwaukee running for the senate.
 Judging from his utterances our country might as well have one of the kaiser's warlords in the senate as Der ger.
 His policies are farther from any true expression of Americanism than autocracy is from democracy.
 The teachings of socialism are car ried on by indirection in the name of reform movements of all kinds.
 For instance, in the formation of the new national party all kinds of re- form elements from Single Tax to Prohibition are united. The same methods are also used by the so-called Non-Partisan league to draw together all elements of discontent.
 But in the midst of them is the seed planting of international social ism with it's harvest of revolution and pro-Germanism.
 After all, does any real American llan or woman at the present time de- Yire to promote such an aggregation of influence?

EXTENDING THE IDEA

There are, of course, anecdotes about General Pershing going about, all of them to his credit, it need hard ly be said. But this is one which Gen eral Pershing himself is fond of tell ing ,and it is always much relished by his hearers. It happened when the general was on the Mexican border. A regiment was marching by when it met small, ragged Irish boy holding tight tG a donkey, which had become fractious owing to the noise of the regimental band. It was all his small owner could do to hold him. As the men swung by somebody in the ranks called out:
 Say, kid, what are you holding your brother so tight for?"
 Because" replied the Irish lad, "he sees you guys, and I'm afraid he might enlist Christian Science Mon itor.

ARMY '. M. [. 4.
 FOR WAR WORK

Recognizing the urgent need for overseas workers under the banner of the Army Young Mems Christian as- sociation, Governor Hobby of Texas, has issued the following statement to his people urging able-bodied men above draft age and under 50 years to volunteer their services to this cause.
 My attention has been called by representatives of the War Work Council of the Young Mems Christian association, who were my guests last week, to the pressing need for men in France, which need has been express ed through General Pershing and Am bassador Sharpe. It gives me great pleasure to lend my influence and sup port to this worthy organization in its attempt to meet this demand. In ad dition to the regular work of the as- sOciation, which demands men spe- cially trained for religious, educa- tional and athletic work, General Per shing has turned over to this organi- zatiOn the entire canteen business for the American expeditionary forces. This action of General Pershing has increased tremendously the need for men who are expert accountants, bankers, merchants, trained transpOr- tation men, and general all-around business men. I am anxious that Tex as shall do her part in sending men who are equipped to do this service. It offers a splendid opportunity for those who are anxious to serve the country in this critical time but who are kept out of the army on account of the age limit. No men are taken for this service who are under 31 yeard of age or over 50. They must be men of good character, men who are thoroughly sympathetic with the war aims of the nation, and men who are willing to serve comparatively with the organization overseas.
 Because I am not able to attend to the matter myself, have asked Thos. W. Currie, 22OO Guadalupe street, Austin, Texas, if he will not act as my personal representative to receive all correspondence from those who are interested in offering themselves for this service. It is my frank judgment that there are hundreds of men prom inent in business affairs of import ance in this state who ought to offer themselves immediately for this branch of the service"

CRUELTY OF GERMANS
 REVEALED BY CORPSES

w. c. Hopkins, who for fourteen months was on a mission in Bel gium for a European country, address ed a meeting for men only at the Elks' club at San Francisco, Calif., a few nights ago. The San Bernardino Sun gave the following account of the meeting:
 ''The systematic campaign of Ger man frightfulness was described by Hopkins, and the temper of the big audience was apparent when Hopkins urged a firing squad in America, declared the 99 per cent Americans should feel the wrath of the 100 per cent Americans and told why "the Canadians no longer take prisoners % for it was in response to these chap ters in his address that the throng most loudly applauded.
 How the Belgian race is being wiped out of existence not only for the present but for the future, was described by Hopkins. He declared he had seen the young boys of Bel gium walking on the streets after they had been altered so they could never reproduce their race. He de- clared that the girls of Belgium and the women of Belgium are forced to
