CONFIRMING EVIDENCE.

IF the unconvinced patriots want seine definite
evidence confirming the Presidents view that,
! = Germany and the Germans. the November
election is to determine the support of the Will
son war policy in America, let them read this.
taken from translation of an article IN the Co.
logne Gazette for August IT:
AT the beginning of November the people (of
America) will, in the Congressional election, sit
in judgment over him (Wilson) and his pcli-
cies -
I'm any event the November elections will
have significance such as they Lave never lid
before"
That, exactly, is the point which the President
made in his appeal. That, in word, expresses
the issue in the present political campaign. The
President knew whereof he spoke as all patriots
admit. To speak to the world abroad was his
motive in making the appeal: and now comes
German evidence verifying his claim that the
election next Tuesday is to be regarded as con
fdence test for him and his policies.
Such objections as lack of precedent" are ir-
relevant. In the first place there is definite pre-
cedent for the appeal in the case of President
Mckinley; in the second place, the crisis is such
as to make futile such childish objections as
lack of precedent.
you support the President in his war pro-
gram, vote for the Democrats next Tuesday
That is the sum and substance of his appeal IF
you wish him to be, in his own words, your "un-
embarrassed leader during the remainder of
the war and in the peace discussions vote for
him. There is no other way to support him. Re-
turn Democratic Congress-, and Wilson will
give you victory in the war and peace which
will make the world safe for Democracy.

WILSON OR Won BERNsToRFF?
(By MELVILLE DAWSON PoST.)

Remember this tremendous fact: Count Won
Bernstorff assured the military Imperialists
that the President in his far-reaching determined
policy did not represent the sentiment of the
American people. Do you realize that there has
been no official expression of the whole country
to answer him? Do you realize that the election
to be held on the 9Th day of November will be
the first opportunity of the American people to
record decision which Count Won Bernstorff
and his masters will consider as final? Let US
look the situation in the face The military I'M
periasts of the Central Empires will not cease
to exist with the collapse of their armies. In the
elaboration Of his immense peace plan, they will
resist the President at every point with wies
and artifice Persistent and perfidicus, they
will undertake to gain by diplomacy what they
have failed to gain by arms. Any sign of dv-
sion, any evidence of political cleavage behind
the President of the United States will encour-
age them like victory in the field. In the des-
perate hope that Count Won Bernstorff is right
they will watch the pronouncement Of this cleo
ton with vital concern. They will not under
stand our system of political parties at this time
they will take the general result as decisive If
the country returns Senators and Representa-
tves endorsed by the political party to which the
President belongs they will conclude that the
American people behind the President If
the country returns Senator's and Representa-
tives endorsed by the political party to which
the President does not belong they will con-
clude that the American people have repudiated

BACK TO NORMAL.

Things begin to appear normal here again af-
ter the business-suspension because of the influ-
enza Theatres and churches were permitted to
reopen yesterday schools will be opened on Mon
day. The interruption has severely disturbed the
normal life of the community; but there was no
way to avoid it. 1t may safely be said, further
more that the common peril has served ore good
purpose: it has knit the community together in
common effort,-has knit it together to de-
gree which has not been equalled here in years

NO COAL FAMINE.

The welcme news comes from the fuel admin
istration that the danger of coal famine this
winter Is now practically past. The record-break-
ing production of the first half of this year, to-
gether with the stocks now on hand gives as
surance that there will be enough fuel to meet
the requirements of the population during the
coming winter provided rational degree of
conservation is observed. DR.. Garfield can feel
sure that this conservation will be practiced The
experiences of last winter are too fresh in mind
to induce the people to indulge in any waste
During the first six months of this year there
was more bituminous coal mined in the United
States than was ever taken out in the same period
of time. Based upon this record and upon the
production average that is being maintained, it
is estimated that the entire production for the
year will amount to 600,000,O00 tons. Thus ii
will be seen that approximately 50,0c0,000 tons
above all previous records will be mined this
year.
A reversal of policy this year has resulted in
millions of tons being placed in the hands Of
dealers and consumers during the past summer
In 1917 1T was looked upon as boarding coal I'M
periodically, if not unlawfully, for citizens to
fill their bins in preparation for the approaching
winter. In consequence there was coal famine
during one OF the SevereSt winters Of recent
years. This summer the people were encourag-
ed to make prudent provision for the cold
months and fill their cellars the only proviso
being that they should not buy in excess Of their
needs. This advice was SO generally followed that
the fuel administration now feels confident chat
enough coal is on hand to meet all requirements
during the winter months,
Production and distribution are the two big
problems which the fuel administration has fac
ed in its efforts to provide an ample fuel sup
ply. 1t was desirable to keep prices down to the
lowest level possible, but low prices were a very
poor consolation when coal could not be had at
any price. 1t NV seems that efforts first to pro-
duce enough coal to meet the countrys needs
and, second to get it sufficiently well distributed
that it might be available to the people have
borne fruit, and the announcement of the fuel
administration will calm the fears that have
abided in millions of breasts this summer

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Fine! Move the brick walls on West King
Street. Unless the war suddenly ceases and the
labor supply becomes better, paving this winter
will be too expensive to make it practicable. But
the bricks, if piled the real estate at the cor
ner of King Street and Maple Avenue, will serve
triple purpose: they will make the lot appear
to be serving useful purpose, will hide the pres
ent ungainliness of it, and will also remove the
bricks from the highway

HOUSEWIVES MUST
 SAVE ALL SUGAR
 THEY POSSIBLY CAN
JUST WHEN FLOUR SITUATION CLEARS UP SOMEWHAT, COMES CALL FROM STATE FOOD AD- MINIsTRATIoN ABOUT SHORT AGE OF SUGAR

There is no chance for the house
 wives to relax in regard to food con- | serVation.
 Just as the wheat situation begins | to look brighter, she has now to turn her attention to a more intensive
 sugar saving program. Last years temporary shortage served to point the way. Means were discovered of cutting down on sugar and using oth-
 CT sweetening That was a mere ap-
 premiership however, compared with the conservation campaign which now becomes necessary.
 For the burden of maintaining the allied sugar supplies falls on us. There is not enough sugar available for us all to live in accordance with our peace time habits. We must share with them. Our great war program has reduced our sugar carrying fleet; the sugar requirements of our over seas army are very large; our domes- tic crop is less than we expected; we have diverted 50,000 tons of sugar shipping in order that Belgium should have food: Germans have destroyed sugar beet fields and factories in northern France and Italy: more than 50000 pounds of sugar were sent to the bottom of the ocean off our shores recently.
 If, by our own selfish use of sugar, we should force the allies to send to Java for 25O,O0O tons to piece out their meager ration for next year, it would take eleven extra ships. These eleven ships could transport and keep 150,0OO to 100000 soldiers in France
 This loss in shipping space can be averted by reducing cur own normal consumption.
 To reduce this by almost one-half, as is now being asked of us, seems a sudden sacrifice, but it can be done and without any loss of nutrition.
 Since about 70 per cent of the coun- try's sugar supply passes through the hands of the American housewife, it is evident that she has a most impor- tant role to play in its conservation. First, it is her part to see that no more than two pounds per person per month come into the family larder Second, she must make this amount go around. 1t must be pooled and made to cover table use as well as what goes into the cooked food.
 All this takes time and thought, but it is a voluntary contribution to ulti- l mate victory. Judging from the part l she has played in the nations wheat | saving, the American housewife will | again be sure of recognition when all | returns are in on the sugar saving |

THE CANDIDACY OF GOLFER
CFrom Fl Paso Herald )

CFrom Fl Paso Herald)
 Although many Arizona precincts re- main to be heard from, it is now appar- ent that Fred T. Colter will be the demo- cratic candidate for governor in opposition to Thomas E. Campbell, the republican can didate. Sufficient returns have been re- ceived to make certain the defeat of Sec retary of State Sidney P Osborn and Judge Fred Sutter in Tuesday primary They stood as the candidates of conservative democrats in Arizona. Golfer, supported by Governor Hunt and his radical follow ing, stands as the candidate of the demo cratic party.
 MT. Colter has an interesting personality and a good legislative record. He has made good in the state senate, supporting such popular measures as woman suffrage and prohibition, and has been very successful in his own affairs. He is a banker, mer- chant, cattleman and farmer and nothing is more strange than that man of wealth, en- gagged in these occupations, should receive the support of the l. W. w. faction and of that body of democrats who are not an archists or l. w. w, but who border on be- ing socialists. But he has all that vote His support does not all come from those sources. Many high class, loyal, sober and conservative democrats must have voted for him in the primary or he never would have defeated Messrs. Osborn and Sutter

BROADWAY FOLLIES OPEN THEIR RETURN
 ENGAGEMENT HERE

The Broadway Follies opened an ether fourday engagement at the Or pheum last night with the clever mus ical comedy, Tn Hawaii" A full house greeted the players for both shows of their first night
 4 profusiOn of new costumes and effects marked their return and some pretty displays of feminine loveliness were thrown into the picture.
 The beautiful Bromley sisters, of course, came in for their part of the applause. Miss Lucille Darrow, the prima donna, rendered several selec- tions which were well received. The Melody boys are the only male members of the cast. and they ably support the other members. Miss Marie McCourt, the ginger girl is "a firstclass comedienne and her ap- pearance is always the signal for ap- plause
 Altogether the show is clean, spar king and something new. They play In Hawaii again tonight, and then the next two nights they will present "Manana Land" which, if past per formances are any criterion of their ability will be of an order seldom seen in Bisbee

Lay On, Macduf

Yes, Austria would like to have peace; a German peace, else she would not cry so loud and so dolorousl y at this time. Aus trian rulers, only few weeks ago, met with the kaiser and his staff and pledged their loyalty anew and since then have sent Austrian troops to the western front. Aus tria has simply agreed to be the German catspaw and rake the chestnuts from the flame of war. If she were sincere in really wanting peace for peaces sake, she would break with the butcher nation that. leads her now in chains and undertake to treat with the allies as an ally against Prussian- ism.
 They are all talking peace these days The crown prince, the Prussian ministers, the Austrian ministers and the kaiser him self It is the Prussian's s last card. If he can bamboozle the allied world with his hypocritical whine and appeals, then he can negotiate peace. And any kind of negotiated peace, no matter what the Ger man concessions, will be triumph for Germany and defeat for the allies The battlefield and not the council chamber, is the place to settle this quarrel between the two forces of the world.
 Any allied leader or private in the ranks or citizen who listens for moment to this currish howl for peace by the German beast through his slave of Austria is traitor to his country and to the allied cause.
 It is an insult and an arrogant, overbear- ing, ill-veiled, sneering, cynical confident characteristic purely Prussian to suggest peace while still on French and German soil It is the demand of the victor rather than the honest voice of repentance.
 No stronger proof could be needed by the allied world as to the measure of German distress and apprehension under Foch's hammer strokes than this starting of the winter peace propaganda by the Prussian so far ahead of his schedule He is at least three months early
 Any consideration of peace by the allies short of badly beaten German army and an invaded Germany will be the sin of all the ages.
 And so long as Lloyd-George and Glenn enceau and President Wilson are in power there Is not much to fear that the beasts whine will be needed in the three great na- tions dedicated to the task of freeing the world from a military domination.

never publicly condemned the traitorous
 l. W. W. who are trying to control the
 state and the fact that he has their support
 puts big, black mark against him. And
 his attacks on the large industries of the
 state, made in his campaign literature, are
 so much like Governor Hunts as to indi-
 cate that he and Hunt are completely in sympathy and that his administration, if
 elected, will be just like that of Hunt
 In other words, it appears that Colter,
 like Hunt, would look with suspicion and unfriendliness on any enterprise employing a large amount of capital and a large num- Der of men and that if such an enterprise were so unfortunate as to be attacked by the 1. w. w., 1t could expect no favor from him. Though doubtless meaning well, Governor Hunt has never been big enough to treat all classes of citizens as equal. Whether Mr. Golfer, if elected, could give a square deal all around cannot be taken for granted in view of the influence around him and of his pronouncement up to the present time If Mr. Osborn or Judge Sut- ter had been nominated, Arizona would have been certain, in the event of their cleo ton, of an administration friendly to or ganizedel labor, friendly also to the farmer and to business and industries but very un-, friendly to the pro-German the anarchist, the Bolsheviki, the l. W. w. and the long whiskered individual who makes living by moving from place to place stirring up class hatred and agitating strikes.
 As it now stands, Arizona has the choice of two men for governor. One has the backing of very undesirable element in addition to the support given him by good citizens He bears the radical brand The other is progressive and broad minded conservative who treats everyone alike and who gave Arizona, in the eleven months of his gubernatorial administration, the best state government it had had in years. The first is Mr. Golfer, the second, Mr. Camp bell
 The first is a democrat and the second republican, but parties don't matter now. Democrat and republican are but names. The men count and what they stand for. If Arizona people want sane and sound ad- ministration, free of class animosities and freak notions, they will elect Mr. Campbell If they choose to uphold the treacherous, unpatriotic I. W. w., who are again trying to get control of the state, after having been scared half to death during the admins tration of Governor Campbell they will vote for the candidate whom the l. W. w. support.
 In the last previous state election, MT. Campbell received the vote of very inn portant part of the democratic party, in- cluding not few organized labor men and he will receive more votes from organized labor this time, now that the eyes of many have been opened to the Belshevik tenden- cies of some of their leaders. He will also receive the support of conservative demo- crats who are in rebellion against Huntism.
 When MT. Campbell received the gov ernorship, it was pulled away from him by court mandate after he had served faith fully and efficiently for eleven months, and Governor Hunt pocketed the salary which Governor Campbell had earned. This tine Mr. Campbell will be elected for keeps.
