1t is not a bottomless mystery, this
outrageous record of the Germans at
war. 1t is a clearly consistent express
sion Of the servile mind. To under
stand it, you have only to understand
the peaceful virtues of the people
whom Bismarck called "a nation Of
house servants"
They have long been governed by
the most arrogant of all the governing
classes of Europe-the Prussian mill
tarists. They have submitted with a
touching faith in their oppressive pro
tectors. Timid sentimental, poetic and
mtprt-loving, plundered for centuries
BY the marauding neighbors, they have
been glad to league together in the Ger
man empire with no matter what loss
of personal liberty under the domina-
ton of their tryrannous war lords.
They have seen in that tyranny their
only safety. 1t defended them superhly
in the procured wars Of the last century
first from their old rivals the Austrians,
ana then from their old conquerors, the
French. They believe that it has de
Tended them as efficiently in the pres
ent war. BY inspired news and forged
dispatches, they have been convinced
that they were invaded before this war
was declared; and they still believe it,,
They believe that they are fighting in
selfdefense under the leadership Of an
autocracy that is their only self-pro-
lection.
And they are fighting as the timid
| fight. The man who has been governed
| by arrogance and has bowed down TO
| fear is man who understands no in
strument but cruelty to compel respect.
He will be at once incredibly cruel and
ness as his weapon in war. He viii
/ know no compassion. lie will have no
dignity even the dignity of pity.
/ He will be at once incredibly cruel and
! incredibly petty. He will persecute non
combatants, outrage women, mutilte
children, lombard hospitals, kill the
wounded torment prisoners, cut down
. fruit trees, and defile with animal filth
what he has not time to destroy like
discharged servant taking his revenge
on the kitchen. 1t is inevitable. 1t is
in the nature of the seryile mind to do
these things and to fail to see why
they should not be done.
His officers will order them done, be
cause it has been by brutality that his
officers have ruled him, and they viii
hope by brutality to rule the world
And he will do what he is ordered, be
cause he knows the efficacy Of fear il
his own case and he will hope by fright
fulness to strike fear into his enemy
His instinct Of subserviency in fac
makes him a perfect military instru
ment. lie obeys orders like a devoted
hound. He has the courage Of unQues

Judging by the record he has made
the Republican national committee has
chosen well in electing VIII H. Hays Of
Indiana to the chairmanship OF the COM

state committee in 1914 he healed the

The news would be just as welcome when she wakened If her own accord, and sleep would do her much good.
 When came downstairs I saw Bopp go through the yard, looking under every bush and into every gully. l went out to tell him that Mrs. Green Ygas located.
 He stopped when he saw me.
 "I see Clair has cut you out with your actress friend he said Il saw them arm in arm on the beach min ute ago. There's no use talking, Mon tE, you can't seem to hold a girls at tention long enough to slip ring on her. Why don't you try advertising in one of these matrimonial papersY"

Famous Broncho Artist in Prescott
 for Celebration.

"Dutch" Hyler, the famously known broncho busting champion of the world, arrived yesterday from Denver and is to fill an engagement in Pres colt during the celebration next month. This arena celebrity has more belts to encircle his waist than any other buster who ever got in the sad dle, and while he is not desirous of further honors, wants to keep moving from force of habit. He stated yes- terday that one motive to bring him to Prescott was to take the bet of 5000 that "Diablo," the outlaw mule could not be ridden by him without a strap, saddle, or any paraphernalia whatever for man or beast. Hyler will be accommodated under the above conditions.
 Here is the record of this range expert in his busting of the broncho: He was first at Missoula, Mont, Colo rado Springs, Colo, Loveland, Colo, Weiser, Ida, Medicine Hat. Mont {. Denver, Colo, Gales Belt, Mont, and second at Ch1Genne. during the season of 1917.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

From people coming in from other towns in the state we are informed that Kingman is the only town that is using bread cards.

At the present time the food administration is worrying it. self over the shortage of sugar for canning purposes and is trying to bring the householder to realization that the saving of few pounds each month by the individual may make possible or impossible necessary can ned fruits next year.-Kingman Miner.
