The success of government ownership would de-

why many people hesitate embark upon
government ownership. There is town in this
country where doubtless this hesitation is quite pro-

have had some experience with the temperament OF
Postmaster General BurIeson, though himself Il

Under his authority director of the telegraph
and telephone systems of the country the postmaster
general ordered that telephone be advanced to
SO Tor residence phones and $3.50 business phones
The authorities of Houston protested their
assent Thereupon the postmaster general notified
them that if they did agree the advances he had
proposed he would arbitrarily impose stl greater

business phones SO instead $50. This threat re-

methods of Kissing in dealing with the Belgians

If the government, in the opinion of Mr. Burleson
could safeguard itself loss by the figures, that

he threatened, would represent extorion. which the
private owners of the telephone system would not
have dared try to exercise and which publicly ut-

ANATHEMA
To the Kaiser In He'll

Kaiser. Kaiser, ere you fell
To the lowest pit Of hell.
Ere your guilty hsnds were red
With theblood of millions dead,
Ere your wretched soul was damned,
And Hell's gates behind you slammed,
Kaiser koenig Wilhelm tell,
Did you never dream of He'll?
Kaiser. Kaiser, deomed to He'll,
Evermore = burn in He'll:
While we seemed to see you here,
Ruling still by force and fear,
Sitting in your state alone,
Crowned and sceptered on a throne,
Your tormented soul could tell
Even then you were in Hell.
Kaiser in the flames of Hell,
Doomed forevermore tn He'll,
Where the fire forever burns,
And the conscience Writhes and turns,
Left with all your crimes alone,
Damnable and monstrous grown;
Kaiser bowling down in Hell,
Burn and think of Nurse Cavell.
Kaiser, Kaiser, down in Hell,
Burning evermore in Hell.
You shall see, as on a scroll,
All the murders on your soul,
See the Lusitania's name.
Written on the sheets of flame,
| Watch the little babies drown
AS twelve hundred souls go dom.
Kaiser koenig Wilhelm tell,
Can you hear their cries in He'll?
Kaiser. Kaiser, down in He'll
Burning in eternal He'll;
! By your pledged and broken word
| BY the justice of the Lord,
/ By your treacherous plots and spies,
BY your robberies and lies,
| BY the lands you've trampled down,
! BY each sacked and ruined town,
| BY the fields of slaughter red
! Sanguine with ten million dead,
! BY the terror and the pain
| OF the little children slain,
| BY the murdered womens cries,
Heard in the avenging skies,
| By their blood upon your soul,
| Evermore in torment roll,
| Amen

public service is carried on, not only in Chicago but
in Arizona and if it could be only extrcated from
politics and personal favor and conducted as a pru-
dent man conducts his business there would be no
need anywhere of liquor tax And could hardly
tell which would be the greater bessng-the sober
community the unselfish public service Sometimes
one feels that democracy is fraud when he sees
these impositions that placed upon the people.
OF course, the people be blamed for what they
suffer. They have the Of relief in their own

That Bruscs has still tower of BELLS
That Venice. tinted like her shells,
Shines on undmmed and unsubdued;
That Asace is a sunrise cloud
Golden with glory of those
Who gave her back to France again;
That Lorraine speaks Of France aloud;
That Amiens stands against the night
Picked out in stars: that Paris lives
That more like fugitives
Need cringe and cover from the light,
OF this and more joy is made
Who never in our JOY forget
That Belgium has not spoken yet
And for dead Rcims they have not paid

RED CROSS

Nine cases, including LIZA refugee
garments and 1856 knitted articles were
shipped from local headquarters to the
Pacific division last week. This repre-
cented only bit of the work of women
of the Central Arizona chapter of the
Red Cross during the holiday season.
The annual meeting of the Red Cross
chapter will be held in the War Work
building on Friday. Among other i'm
portant matters of business to come up
AT this time will be the election of Is
directors.
That the holiday shopping made not
able inroads in the stock of the Red
Cross Gift Shop is evident to the most
casual shopper to whom the well
stocked shop always bore a smart and
up to date appearance. Just at present
there are too many empty spaces on
the shelves, which Mrs. E. J. Bennitt
hopes to fill shortly with the type of
articles thathas made the little gift
shop famous. There are still many
lovely things to be had, but in a shop
of this kind there is always a call for
additional novelties, which have been
most generously contributed since the
shop opening in the autumn. Patron
age during the holidays was unprece-
denied, according to Mrs. Bennitt.
Over one and ahalf tons of material
was received last week by the local
chapter of the Red Cross. This ma =
