FLAGSTAFF CATERERS
 PROVE THEIR LOYALTY

At meeting held Saturday, May 18th at the Commercial hotel, at which was represented in addition to the Commercial hotel, every restaurant in Flagstaff, a pledge was signed whereby each one agreed to abstain from the use of wheat and its pro- ducts, starting May 25th, and continu- ing until the first of September.
 The pledge signed by these patrio- tic men reads as follows:
 At the request of the United States Food Administration, we voluntarily pledge ourselves to discontinue the use of wheat and wheat products un- til September 1st, 1918."
 It will be noted that this action was taken voluntarily, and it is tribute to the fine spirit manifested that not one man hesitated to line up as "a 100 per cent American" and sign his name to the pledge.
 This further effort to save wheat flour is made in response to urgent appeals from Mir. Hoover. In response to these appeals, Arizona has contri- buted three million pounds of wheat flour for export to the soldiers and allies, and only by the strictest econ omy in the use of wheat will the sup ply be made to last until the next harvest.
 Following is list of eating houses which have signed the pledge for a "wheatless program" and thereby earned the loyal support of every good American:
 Bright Angel Restaurant. Busy Bee Cafe, (Thos. Banks.) Confection Den.
 Coconino Chop House. i Eagle Restaurant.
 Shepperds Faculty Cafe. Sing Lees Royal Cafe. The Commercial Hotel. White House Cafe.
 ! A touch of humor was contributed by J. M. Shepperd, or "Shep," as he | is better known, who declared that he was 100 per cent American, and that even if he couldn't help the cause along with musket, he would "work through their appetities." MT. Shep- perd has been serving meals for some time with minimum of wheat flour, explaining that his southern training made it possible for him to do with corn what the others did with wheat. MT. Prochnow, representative of the hotel and restaurant division of the Food Administration, and Alex. A. Johnston, County Food Administrator, who called the meeting jointly, ex- pressed themselves as well pleased with the spirit shown.
 The restaurant men, MT. Prochnow says, have shown the greatest will ingness to comply with every request of the Food Administration, as soon as they understood what was wanted Now it is "up to" the public patroniz- ing these eating places to accept without complaint the substitutes pro- vided, thankful that they eat at a table instead of in trench.

BRAINS, SERVICE OF POLITICS?

From "don't care who" stand point, and looking over the fence at the democratic gyrations and maneu- vering for places on the democratic state ticket, it would appear that Uncle Billy Moeur will about sweep the platter in the primary election While The Sun hasn't any soft boiled eggs to unscramble, we are willing to venture that it will take the united efforts of the other candidates to send him to the political scrap heap. Fred Colter is a nice young man and lots of folks liked him, but when ke necked himself up with Hunt, they began to wonder if it wasn't about time for the people to have a cut for . new deal For the past five years it has looked like the people located in the capitol building through the votes of the peo- pie, had concluded that they had a quit claim deed to the place and all they had to do was to serve due notice on the public. Since the war jared the people awake some, lots of folks are wondering whether or not it is politics for a few job hunters, or some service from competent men, is most desired.
 Hunt does not dare to run again for governor and the only thing he can do is to back some other fellow that he can control and boost him into the lime light, hoping that the U. S senatorship may thus fall on his nice big fat shoulders.
 There are good many good, sub. stantial, brainy democrats in the state of Arizona, and, if we are ths great big state we claim to be, why is it that man big enough, square enough, brainy enough, cant be nom mated or elected in the state?

----------- THE I. W. ". GANGRENE

The. revelations made before the Federal court in Chicago as to the in- tentions and purposes of the l. w. w.. organizations throughout the United States, is rapidly opening the eyes of the people of the country. That rev. olution was their purpose and that they were aided by German money seems to be clearly proven. Their lit erature advocating strikes, blowing up of plants, the destruction of crops and supplies, intimidation and murd- CT, if necessary, was found in great quantities. The best punishment for this bunch of traitorous snakes would be to send them all to Germany and let the hun handle them; they do not belong in free country, they do not want real freedom, they want free individual license to live off the coun- try and loaf in luxury, plotting the ruin of those who work and feed them. They are just as healthy as gangrene is to wound and should be treated accordingly.

w. P. Hunt is busily engaged in doing at the present time.
 On reading a few weeks ago Hunts official mouthpiece, Dunbar's Weekly, the ordinary layman would have im- agined the wobbly cast in the same mold as Washington's soldiers at Val ley Forge. Hunt was meeting daily his wobbly friends and spent good deal of his time writing letters to them. Now sudden change has come over the chief executive which even the chairman of the Council of De- fense has noticed and he has gone so far as to say that the I. w. w. is an outlaw organization.
 Those who were at the armory the other night and heard soldier from the trenches denounce the l. w. w. as enemies of the American government and heard the vociferous applause, are dense indeed if they did not get the way the wind is blowing and this is what is causing Hunt to change his tactics, to call in those publications featuring his picture taken with ] wobbly on each side and get so angry when his association with them is ex- posed
 On the other hand there is nothing new in Tom Campbell's denunciation of the I. w. W. In 1916 he stock like the Rock of Gibralter against these box-car miners, spike-imbedding lum- Der jacks and soap box orators, but it is only in the last few weeks that Hunt and his cohorts began to jump through the patriotic hoop.
 The reason is easy. Too many service buttons, too many Red Cross buttons, too many Liberty Bond but tons and too many Hundred Percent American club buttons are being worn in Arizona today.
 And so this is camouflage.-Tucson | Citizen,

President Wilson is entitled to great credit for his recent appoint ments of men who do things, regard less of their past political affiliations. His appointment of Schwab to handle shipbuilding and that of Ryan to have charge of aircraft building, has gone far toward convincing the people that this is an "All-American" fight. The appointment of Charles E. Hughes, his opponent in the last presidential campaign for president, to investigate the aircraft affair, has added to his glory. In big affairs, big mistakes will be made, but big men will correct them as soon as discovered; little men always have excuses to offer for their mistakes and failures.

PEACE AT ANY PRICE PROPA-
 BANDA IS PRO-GERMANISM
(By Marion Couthony Smith,

(By Marion Couthony Smith)
 Every civilized human being hates and abhors war per SC. Our first grievance against Germany is that she made this dreadful war; our sec- ond is that she has carried it on in a manner inconceivable to the average human mind. The thing which makes the radical difference between us is, that believe it to be fatal blindness absolutely favorable to the enemy to let any natural abhorrence of war count today. I recognize this war as part of that mighty final conflict between good and evil, predicted not only in the Bible, but in the minds of men. The good is of course not absolute, but is good in tendency and aspiration, and involves all that man values, in civilization, in freedom, in honor, in mercy, in safety to the help less, in truth and righteousness at large. Destiny, which is God working in us toward righteous end, has de- creed that for the worlds redemption we spare neither blood nor life, nor peace nor ease, nor anything that must be sacrificed on the worlds cross. Therefore I hold those who refuse the sacrifice of any motive are recreant to the greatest cause the world has ever known. In war, as in peace, the difference between the ag- gressor and the defender is radical, and is constantly emphasized in life. And where such tremendous issues are involved, "he that is not with us is against us." Compromise is impos- sible. One does not analyze motive when the knife is at the throat of civilization and Christianity-actions are all.

With potatoes selling at thirty cents a bushel in rural Minnesota at the same time that they are selling at forty-fve cents peck in Kansas, the editor of the lola Register arises to remark that it is time to hunt up something, besides the war, on which to lay the blame for high prices. An other discrepancy which war condi- tions" do not explain is the sale of fresh mackerel at eighteen cents a pound in Boston, on the same day which this fish sold at five cents a pound in Worcester, only thirty miles away.
