What To Do With the Kaiser

What is to be done with the kaiser?" is a ques-
ton being debated every corner and at every
grocery store in this country and perhaps at every
place where people foregathcr in England France
favore disposition Of the kaiser is immurement on
desert island That is suggested by detention of
Napoleon who made St Helena famous. The kaiser
would not make any island any other spot famous
That would belittle the Imprisonment at st. Helena
which is of the great events of the worlds
history. No obloquy attached to Napoleon because of
his detention there. St Helena has become almost
sacred soil The presence of the kaiser would sancfy
nothing. If he must be put upon an island let it be
Devils Island of the French penal colonies
Others suggest his Imprisonment in the Tower of
London where the perpetual Black Crow could stare
him out of countenance from day to day. But the
Tower is too historical Most Of the prisoners who
have been confined there executed there were il
lustrous. The kaiser turns out never to have been
illustrous. SO the Tower is place for him. He is
unworthy to be regarded a political prisoner
The kaiser has been thrice indicted in England for
murder and some urge his conviction and execution
But even under the rigid laws of England it is doubt
full whether conviction could be secured without vio-
lence to the laws.
1t has also been urged that wilhelm be allowed to
wander where he will and receive the contumely of
the world and dodge ill-advsed assassins unmndful
that his death would end all of his earthly sufferngs.

pearance of Lieutenant Frank Luke,

whose career electrified the nation and
whose death has caused universal
mourning:
Like blazing meteor was the brief,
brilliant career of Lieut.. Frank Luke,

In his last II days at the front he
/ had scored is victories, thereby tying
/ the record of the American ace of

going one better than the great record
of the late Major Lufberry
His most celebrated exploit was
staged in the sky behind ST Mihiel
when he brought down two balloons
and three airplanes in less than ten
minutes.
Lieutenant Luke was a reckless and
trouble-seeking pilot fond of lone guer-
rilla warfare, and only too likely tc

Where The People
May Have a Hearing
A Committee Statement

Editor, Arizona republican,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
To the editors of the newspapers of
the state whom we consider are willing
to be fair in a political campaign we
wish to state:
The political campaign just closed
was conducted by the democratic state
central committee without sufficient
funds to do the necessary newspaper
advertising that is so essential in Il
successful campaign.
We keenly realize the value of news
paper advertising and we would have
patronized the newspapers very extern
sively had we have had the funds to
do so.
We fully appreciate everything that
you did in the campaign and wish to
thank YOU for same.
We are writing this because We
want you to know just how we feel
towards the newspapers as well as our
reasons for not being able to advertise
more extensively.
With kindest regards and best wish
es, we remain
Sincerely yours,
STATE DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL,

To the Memory Of Earl S. Curtis. by
The Bar Association of Maricopa
County Arizon,

County, Arizona
The following tribute to the memory
of Earl S. Curtis, a member of this bar
who died on November -. 1918. is
presented for approval and adop-
ton by the Bar Association of Mari
copa county, Arizona:
The pause which comes with the
news of the death of any of the mem
Ders of this bar became a shock when
we learned of the oath of Earl S. Cur
tbs. His life as a lawyer had just
commenced; it was one of promise and
none had more seeming reason to hope
Tor many years of successful business
and prosperity. The prevailing plague
is no respector of persons, and youth,
Flgor and promise of long life have
been swept away
Our brother, Earl S. Curtis, had been
a close student of law. In addition
to the ordinary reading of the law stu
| dent he had the practical knowledge
gained while in the office of the clerk
of this court. His later entry into one
| OF our oldest and most respected law
Trims as partner speaks for itself.
He had made good in his profession
and his position as a lawyer and a
citizen had become singularly well es-
tablished. He was one who was in
stinctiyely trusted. No one ever
doubted his honesty or integrity
Among lawyers his word was taken
| without reservation, and among those
whose business he cared for there ex-
listed a confidence and respect which
few of his years and experience have
attained.
clean man of high ideals, energetic
and honorable in all of his business
dealings, and of such genial kindly
disposition that all of us loved him
| He nevertheless hated deception ant

who attempted to engage in such me
with sharp rebuke from him and alb
solute refusal to countenance or as
sist in it. No member of this bar haC
higher ideals than Earl Curtis, ap,

Usefulness to the community has beer

ciates at this bar and by the commun
ity in which he lived
To his family we extend our mos
profound sympa thy; the measure o
their loss we have some realization OF

WHEREFORE. be it now resolved
that this tribute be adopted by thu
association and be presented to tn
superior court of the county of Mari

NEGLECT NO NEED Of
SOLDIER OR SAILOR

1t can truthfully be said that no
single need of a sick or convalescent
soldier of a surgical hospital ward or
4 soldier sailor or marine, in active
service has been overlooked by the
Red Cross workers. The financing of
any Organization of this productive
capacity was u problem. But it has
been instantly solved for the Red
Cross by the generosity of our people.
What happiness and contentment it
will bring to our boys when they know
that the towels handkerchiefs and
sheets they are using while in the hos
pital We're contributed by the folks al
home. The drive is nearing an end
and very little linen has been turned
to the local Red Cross. If Phoenix
is to maintain its usual standard, the
women are urged to respond at once.
The drive ends November 30. Don't
wait until the last day.
