"The duty of patriotism lies equally on old and young, rich and poor, on clergy and laymen. There is no req son in creation for selecting our sol diers among men between 21 and 31. except that they are better able to do the physical work of the war than the rest of us But the work of war must be done in homes, in churches, in schools, and in factories, as we'll as upon the battle fields of the world. And the worst form of slacker-be- cause he has not even the poor, silly reason of fear to excuse him--is the stacker who is called upon to make only the minor sacrifice of money and has not the heart to make it."

GOVERNOR ISSUES STATEMENT
 ON NEW CONSTITUTION

Little Rock, June 27.-Gov. Brough is out today in statement approving the general policies outlined in the proposed new constitution, and insist ing that there shall be no further de- lay in adopting it finally and sub- hitting it to the people.
 fine governor caiis attention to the fact that President Wilson has ap- proved Prohibition and woman sui frage, which have been inserted in the preliminary draft, and the gover- nor is of the opinion that both these measures will be adopted by the people.
 The governor is also vitally inter ested in the adoption of the bond amendment, which has been twice sub mitted, and, in both instances, de- feated by narrow margin. He de- clares that under existing conditions, with the necessity for municipal and county expansion, the right to pledge indebtedness, under severe restric- tions, is absolutely necessary to safe guard municipal and county finances "No other state," says he, "denies to cities and counties the right to pledge their credit to insure permanent pub lie improvements"

What of Poland7

Germany Is decidedly peeved at the attitude of tho Poles in failing to raise an army come to her assistance on the western front Her papers openly charge Poland with being ungrateful and that after the things the Central Powers done her such forcing Hapsburg ruler and a crown form of gov ernment upon her. Even the great opportunity to be bound to the Central Powers especially to Germany. by military and economic conventions" as the Central Powers have decided when the people wanted Polish republic does not to have earned the undyng love Of Poland for benefactors which the gentle Hun evidently expected.
 Germany is always surprised when people do not love her. She expects to overrun other nations de- stroy cities murder children and in return the loving kindness of the sufferers. may be that Poland as independent nation bound to Ger many" has in mind what has happened in the past She may have some remembrance of the partition of herself among the same Flowing" Central Powers. Perhaps she has not forgotten the way Germany treated the Poles of Posen.
 One of the Berlin papers laments that the Poles waiting on events" before sending an army to reinforce the falling of the dear delightful Hun. It may be that the Poles in Poland await word of what the exiled from Poland by the same affectionate Central Powers doing the of military organization with the Allies Perhaps it is word from the Polish foreign legions with the Allies which tarres that needed assistance the absence of which gentle Germany so greatly laments.
 When Germany is licked to standstl Polish patriots know that Poland will have square deal and the independence she longs and has fought for lt may be this which holds her new born army in and it may be also the desire for force to defend her from her German friends" for Germany has proven herself just sincere in Poland as in Russia, murderer acting under the guise of friend ship, thief in the night.

A State Issue

The republican state platform recently published sn The Republican both terse and clear document After rcciting the necessity of bending all efforts to bring the war to a successful conclusion it depores artisanshp in any war effort justly pointing out that this is not war of any political party against Ger many but the war of all the people against common foe. No reasonable have any just quarrel with this section of the republican platform.
 The platform then goes to strongly denounce the | w. W. and to deplore trucking to this awess clement The platform says:
 We maintain that there is place in the country today for those disoyal in act teachings thought We abhor the tendency among officials of the stao and candidates for office. to cater to those who are attempting to impede efficiency of the nation in its present struggle"
 That is undoubtedly the keynote of the platform and the keynote of the campaign It is idle to assert that the l. W. w and it's ilk not an issue in the politics of Arizona. The people of the state who have read the dispatches the in the east of w. w. disloyalists from Arizona, who have followed the trial and evidence at Chicago and the subsequent speedy conviction of the l. W. W. leaders, some of them from this state know that the l. W. W. is litlcal issue in Arizona, element which must be stamped out
 One of the I. w. w. leaders in the east recently announced that the so-caled Mooney strike fathered
 
 and of them Arizona. He was mistaken in his statement for there strike here but the fact that he singled out Arizona shows that he knew this of the stronghods of his organization or had at least been a stronghold at one time.
 There is possible use in lodging the fact that every good citizen who wants to preserve his self spect and loyalty this government has got to stand firmly against the policy of destruction which char acterizes the I. W. W. movement and it must be shown that awessness. efforts to stop production and hamper the activities of this nation will not be permitted within this state and candidate for office in the approaching election should pledge him self openly to put check to lawlessness matter where from and should be directly pledged to vigor ous opposition to the w. W. and it's campaign of revolution and destruction.
 We might just well recognize that this is paramount issue the hundreds of arrests and prosecutions of the department of justice clearly ,hows

Rational Amusements

Everything must give way for the war. It is the limited express which has right of way over every other thing on the tracks The people know this and cheerfuly modify their plans to the war require men,s.
 In England at the outset of the war amusements were taboo This obtained for a time and then the government found that without some amusement the ucn and women did not stand the strain of the war 's well as with rational pleasures. Back came the theatrical attractions and since then England has had rather more amuscments than she had before the war started.
