WHO MIR. WHITE IS.

Henry White, the only republican on the peace commission, is the fath- er-in-law of Prussian officer. The "dot," which he gave to his daughter on her marriage, is now in the hands of the United States alien property custodian. Mir. White was residing in Germany when war was declared in 1914. He gave an interview to the Zreuz Zietung of Berlin in which he expressed his sympathy with Germa- ny's ideals and declared that Ger many couldn't lose" The following extract from that interview sounds curiously out of place, coming from one who is now America's peace com missioner:
 Every American who knows
 Germany will be a friend of
 Germany; everybody who has
 seen the holy earnestness and
 the iron-like will power that all
 Germany shows in fulfilling it's
 duty towards the Fatherland, and
 everybody who has seen the mar
 velous organization which repre-
 sents the German army and na-
 wy, cannot believe that Germany
 can be defeated"
 It is but natural that the republican leaders and press of the nation should resent the selection of one who utter ed such sentiments to represent the republican party at the peace confer encp.

FIFTH WAR LOAN TO
 BE FL0ATED IN APRIL

Announcing the issuance of $600,- 900 or more certificates of indebted ness in preparation for the fifth war loan, Secretary said the certificates will be payable May 6, 1919, and bear AZ per cent interest. The subscrip- tion period is from Dec. 5 to Dec. 10. All indications are the next loan will be floated in April.
 The treasury will issue blocks of these certificates bi-weekly amount ing to not less than $500, 100000 nor more than $750,000,000 for an indef- mite time, Secretary McAdoo explain ed in a letter to every bank and trust company. Outlining this program the secretary said:
 "The expenditures of the govern ment, excluding transaction in the principal of the public debt during the fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1918, to and including Nov 23, 1918, period of not less than five months, amount ed to $S,213, 3,070,O00. Such expendi- lures during the month of November to Nov. 23, amounted to $1,577, ,14S,- 900 or at the rate of nearly $2,000,,- 100000 for the month.
 "The proceeds from the fourth lib- erty loan in excess of the amount of treasury certificates issued in antici- patton of that loan have been exhaust ed; and the remaining installment payments to be made on subscrip- tions to the fourth liberty loan will but little more than cover the treas ury certificates of indebtedness issued in anticipation of that loan and as yet unpaid.
 "Evidently some time must pass be- fore the readjustment from a war to a peace basis can reflect itself in ma terial diminution of the daily cash outgo from the treasury. Indeed, the wise policy of prompt liquidation of contracts might actually result for a time in the acceleration of demands upon the treasury while strengthening and making more liquid the banking position of the country.
 Uncertainties with respect to pend ing revenue legislation make it inn practicable and inexpedient to borrow further at this time in anticipation of taxes. In this period of readjustment it would be difficult to set inmotion any plan for the continuous sale of government bonds and it seems that the wist policy will be to plan for one more great popular campaign in the spring for the sale of bonds which should be of short maturities and meanwhile to provide for the govern ment's necessities by the issue of treasury certificates at fortnightly in- tervals."
 Each bank, MT. McAdoo explained, will be expected to subscribe roughly 2h per cent of the banks gross re- sources every two weeks or five per cent monthly in support of the finan- cial program.

HOKE AT RAT.

Senator Hokus Smith of Georgia has shown the War Trade Board the political expendiency of taking off the export restriction on cotton, probably with a view to leoading up Germany with this commodity as soon as little matters with regard to the late un- pleasantness in Europe are smoothed over to the satisfaction of both groups of belligerents. Hoke is the best ann bassador King Cotton ever sent to the National Capital He is the one, it will be remembered, who raised such a fog when the English were holding up shipments of cotton to Germany, before MT. Wilson was gently but firmly urged into the war against the Hun. But Hoke had no particular comment to make when the Huns blew the Lusitania to Kingdom Come. His attitude, as we remember, was that Americans who travelled on the seas while the war was on were to blame for any consequences of their foolhardiness, but that every bale of Dixie down was sacrocanct. Indiden- tally let it be remarked that govern ment regulation of wheat and other western and northern products will continue, both as to price and as to destination.

REDUCTION IN PRICE
 OF MEAT EXPECTED

Information was received at the headquarters of the food administra- tion in Phoenix on Wednesday that the Fair Price Board at Tombstone had reduced the price list of meats sold at retail Dc on almost every cut. This was done through tht coopera- tion of the fair price board and the butchers of that town after the food administration had, through Inspector Roca, secured figures showing that the price of meats at Tombstone could be reduced. The butchers voluntari- ly made the reduction.
 For the past month food inspectors have been working upon the meat prices throughout the state and the announcement of reductions at other points is expected.
 A meeting of the fair price board at Phoenix this week took up the price of meats and will have bear ing in the matter. The local butchers will be invited to attend this hearing.

WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT?

Take all these states of the solid south in a string: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis jana, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas Their combined wealth is billions on billions more than .Ohio's; indeed, it is nearly three times Ohio's. Yet Ohio, with $S,908,432,943 of wealth paid in taxes S241, ,037 ,457, or $75,- O00,000 more taxes than all those southern states put together.
 To that list of southern states add Oklahoma. Then their combined wealth is nearly fifteen billions of dol lars more than the wealth of Illinois but Illinois paid in taxes 275,579, ,053 as against some $184,000,000 by all those southern states.
 That string of southern states, with a wealth twice the weath of Pennsyi- vania's in round numbers, the same $184 ,000 ,000; Pennsylvania paid, in round numbers, $496, 100000.

Realizing the Insult.

Manuel, negro with a record pre- viously clean, was arraigned before the bucolic justice of the peace for as- sault and battery.
 "Why did you beat that negro up, Manuel" questioned the squire.
 "He called me sumpin, jedge."
 "What did he call you?"
 "He called me rhinoceros, sah, a rhinocerosw
 "A rhinoceros! When did this oc- cur?"
 "Bout three years ago, jedge."
 "Three years ago! Then how did it happen that you waited so long to resent it, Manuel ?"
 "Lawd, jedge, ain't never seen no rhinoceros till this mawnin'."

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

Gushing sentimentalism, which re- fused the nation an adequate spy law, dilatory court processes which deal with anarchy as if it were a well meant civil matter of honest folk are partly and jointly responsible for the growth of the terrorist movement in America. The socialist party, which sometime ago admitted it was pro- German and, whose brainiest men left it, is now showing its true colors. America is confronted by new war problem; the issue can no longer be ignored Bend Tribune.

A movement has been starte

A movement has been started in Phoenix to erect a monument to the soldiers of that county who lost their lives during the war. It is a splendid idea and one that we had in mind for some time. There should be monu- ment in Coconino county, and fit ting one, placed in a prominent place in the court yard square upon which should be written the names of those who so freely gave their lives to their country's cause in the great world war. Their names should never be forgotten.

In your letter you say you are much worried about me, especially dad. We'll, l am still with the living and feel as though had a long life ahead; l am just as safe as if l were at home. I have not seen the front yet but am longing to go any old time. As long as I have been here 1 have not had a chance to go. France is a pretty country all right and the French people seem to think a whole lot of the American soldiers, but give me the old U. s. A. and by the looks of things now, we'll be back over there pretty soon, but not until this thing is all over forever-until then I won't come home. I have been in many parts of France during the time I have been here, but can not give the name of the places as we are not allowed to do anything of that kind. I'll have a whole lot to tell you when I get back home, so will close this time, with love to you all.
