Cooperative delivery systems, which

The Prussian Chamber of Lords
has reafirmed it's belief that
Kaiser Bill is God Almighty's
representative on earth to bring
German kultur to all the nations,
which means the war will con-
tinue for some time yet to come,
and possibly for a decade. But
when it is ended the fool theories
of the German titled aristocracy
and the militarists will find no
place in the terms of peace. The
Kaiser has violated every rule
and law for civilized warfare,
and instead of being taken into
council when peace is to be dis
cussed, he should be placed under
arrest as a bandit, and when the
crimes he has committed have
been proven against him he
should be hung as a common
criminal, and with just as little
ceremony.

If County Attorney Larson will
keep on his fighting clothes dur
ing the remainder of his term of
office, he will either clarity the
judicial atmosphere of Navajo
county, or make some of the
court officials the laughing stock
of the state, Larson may be
crippled in his legs as he hobbies
about on his crutches. but he is
not crippled in his head. and that
is the point that interests the
people of this county. These
remarks are not prompted by
partisan politics, as Larson is
the rankest democrat in Navajo
county, and we contributed our
mite to try to defeat his election,
but it rejoices our soul to see a
a pubic officer who has the nerve
to stand up for what he considers
right, and is not seeking popu-
larity at the sacrifice of his self
respect.

Political writer's of both the
old parties have already been
started in their campaign of Gre
ating public sentiment antagon-
istic to government ownership
of railroads after the war is over,
and their writings are being sent
to all the newspapers hoping for
free publicity through the col
umns of the press. 1t is to be
expected that both the demo-
cratic and republican parties in
their national platforms will be
lodging the issue of government
ownership until such time as
they can get the trend of senti-
ment, as the inside history of all
party platforms is that they are
written to please the big inter-
ests who put up the money to
finance the campaigns; and they
are so skillfully written that the
orators can go transforming the
country on either side Of the
question and prove that their
party stands for or against the
proposition. Government own
ership cannot be much longer
delayed, as it is notorious the
public has been plundered to
make millionaires who used the
railroads, not for the benefit of
the public, but to exploit them
on the stock exchange for their
own personal profit. The people
can see no'relief ahead for low
er or equitable freight rates, or
an improved service, and they
feel that the time has come for
the government to take over the
properties, and operate them for
the whole people, cutting out
the discriminating tariffs for ia
vored localities or sections, and
let the burden fall equitably on
all for the service rendered.

President Wilson must not ex-
pect that his every demand in
this war gsme is to be granted,
simply because in the early stage
Congress gave him every power
he asked to centralize authority
for speedy action. Now that the
people and Congress have set
tied down to the conclusion that
the war is to be one of endur-
ance it Is only natural for Con-
gress to assert it's rights to have
something to say how the war
should be conducted. If Baker
suits the President as Secretary
of War, we'll and good; but if
Congress want military council
to direct the war operations they
have the right to insist without
being branded traitors.

Senator Bill Stone. of Missouri.

Senator Bill Stone, of Missouri,
is one man whom it i'll becomes
to rise in the senate and deliver
TRADE against the republican
members of that body, because
they want change in the ad-
ministration of the war depart
ment. During the last session
Of Congress, in the first stages
of the entrance of the United
States into the war, it was Bill
Stone, as a member of tn e
gang of fillibusters, who tried by
every cunning known to defeat
every war measure advocated by
President Wilson, when republi-
can members,with no thought of
partisan politics were standing
solidly behind the President to
pass laws the necessary to make
it possible to raise an army, and
appropriate the billions of dollars
to meet the expense of providing
provisions and equipment. Stone
and LaFollette were the precious
pair of senators who owe their
seats in that honorable body to
the financial power and influence
of the German brewing syndi-
Gates in the states Of Missouri
and Wisconsin, and they were
paying off their political obliga-
tions by using their official posi-
tions to prevent the entrance of
the United States into the war
to suppress the Prussian mill
tarism. Now that their efforts
have failed in that direction,
Stone rushes in with a vicious
assault on the republican men,
bers under the guise of a con-
suming patriotism, and flays
them for attempting to pass a
measure to put the war depart
ment on a more efficient footing.
1t is to be expected Stone will
oppose any bill that has for it's
purpose the making of more
efficient fighting force out of the
American army, and if he can
cloak his bitter assaults under a
pretension of consuming loyalty
and patriotism to the administra-
ton, he can still faithfully serve
the Kaiser without fear of re-
proach from the people, if they
permit themselves to be deceived
by his cunning. Bill Stone was
never a statesman; he is nothing
but a professional politician, and
the honor of his country is as
nothing compared to playing the
game of partisan politics.

Friday, - January rs, 1918.

1t is now being said that the
fuel shortage is chargeable to
the interference of the fuel ad-
rninistration early last summer,
when the question of government
control was under consideration.
At that time the government
was going to set a maximum
price for coal at the mines, and
the mines Immediately cut down
production while their legal staff
was making arguments and pre-
senting figures to the fuel ad-
ministrator showing that they
were entitled to some war pro-
fits. They knew the fuel admin
istration would change the pro-
posed figure to one that the mine
operators wanted, and naturally
they shut down production to get
the advance in price instead of
putting out summer run as
usual on a storage rate. Now
with fuel administrator, the
people are paying a dollar a ton
more for coal than they would be
paying if no administrator had
been appointed. Never in the
history of the country has the
coal price been so high, and the
quality so poor as at this time.
About everything is commercial
coal that leaves the mines except
a few screenings that fall out in
handling. and the dealer has no
redress and has to take just
what is put at him or go without.
On mine run coal the mines are
defeating the object of the gov
vernment fuel administrator by
refusing to sell at the price set
by the government, but put the
coal through a broker who is a
stool-pigeon of the mine ope-
ratOrs, and thus tack on an addi-
tional sum for brokerage which
under the rule is permissible.
1t will be remembered that old
Baer, the anthracite king. told
President Roosevelt, during a
strike in the mines, that he was
the emissary of God to superin-
tend the distribution of coal, and
regulate the output, but somehow
or other Roosevelt did not figure
God had any emissaries in the
coal business, and he had the
strike difficulties adjusted. 1t
seems most mine operators hold
to Baer's opinion.

Without any regard to party
affiliations the people of tn e
United States almost to a man
prefer to draw their inspiration
of loyalty and patriotism from
Theodore Roosevelt than from
such a swash- -buckler as Bill
Stone of Missouri. Long after
Stone is forgotten of all people
Theodore Roosevelt's name will
still be a household word.
