suRE-.ALso WHY NOT?

Senator Ashurst has rushed to the rescue of William Rudolphie Hearst, whose news" papers are being badly used by the different 100 per cent Americans over the United States and which have been barred from most Allied countries. People used to just dote on "camouflage"-but they didn't call it exactly that in past years. Now they seem to have fullness of it and are drifting back toward deeds instead of that other quality. There is every reason why Senator Ashurst should rush to the rescue of this kind of fel- low-in fact we are looking for him to have resolution passed making Hearst's papers and magazines the of ficial papers of the United States also Mexico-where MT. Hearst owns valuable property which is in rather unprotected condition and not profit able at present.

WE MUST ALL PIONEER AGAIN.

The great war has brought about a condition among the American people which pretty much resembles that of pioneer days out west here where a man was a man, so long as he was a man, but it didn't make much differ ence how much money he claimed to be worth. Today the rich and the poor mems sons are walking along the same roads, sharing the same hard ships and learning to love each other with feeling that will never abate so long as life shall last. It is possi- ble that the extremes were getting too far apart and there was great need that a great people should be ce- mented together again. It is easy to stray away in the days of ease and plenty, but inevitably there is some thing to call us back again to the great truth that linen are but men, great or small, and each must have the help of the other to answer free dom's duty call"
 We must all pioneer again until the great world war work is done.

McADoO MUM-wAIT CABLE.

Secretary McAdoo declines to i'm form Congress of the steps which are
 being taken to stabilize the value of the American dollar abroad on the ground that the information might
 reach enemy countries and thus preju- dice our action. This reasoning is ab- surd. The depreciation of the Ameri- can dollar exists most largely, of course, in those neutral countries with which we are carrying on trade-and in which, it may be added, the Ger man spy system flourishes at its ut most efficiency. To be more exact, the dollars value has suffered most grievously in Spain and in the Argen- tine. By curious coincidence it is in Spain that a Hapsburg King rules, while in the Argentine the president of the republic has consistently re- fused to permit the nation to show it's hostility to Germany. It cannot be possible that any negotiations under taken by our government with those at Madrid or Buenos Ayres can long be hidden from the cabinet at Berlin; and the probability is that before long the cables from Europe will give us the information which Mir. McAdoo is trying to conceal.

IS YOUR LIFE A HARD ONE?

Do you people at home fec at times that this war has made your life pret- ty hard? Read what an American cor respondent writes about one of our boys who had been doing his duty:
 "In little field hospital west of Montdidier I stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one of those victims of the German mustard gas, with which the Huns are making all their present gains. His eyes were matted with yellow pus and he could not see. His face was terribly burned. His lips were swollen and purple. His whole body had been turned the color of an Indian, and portions of it looked like melted flesh, as though it had been liquefied.
 "The fighting had been renewed all along the American lines, and Ger man wounded had begun coming into our hospitals. l said to this soldier:
 "'The boys are getting their re- venge for you fellows tonight He smiled through his scared lips, and in voice so faint that had to bend down to listen, he gasped, God! wish was back there with 'emv"
 Do you still think your life hard one?
 Help support that boy and the hun dreds of thousands of others doing their duty. Buy War Savings Stamps to the limit of your capacity.

SOME POLITICAL CONSERVA-
 TION.

Conservation" seems to have struck the state candidates who have been merely drawing state salaries during the past five years to prevent the state treasury from busting wide open. They are sending out personal news" to the newspapers to help the opulent country editor "fill up' his paper. In this news" if you scan it closely, you will find that the candl- dates name, age, a repetition of his name, also the things that he has done to keep Arizona safe for return Of his salary for the new two years: Their salaries seem to be "ingrowing
 so far as they are concerned, and ii they can not make the state pay their campaign expenses, they believe the publishers of the state should stand 1t flor, they need the job and never earned enough money in private life to help themselves along-at least that is the way it would seem. Some of them seem to feel that it is a great hradship on them because the state does not furnish them board and clothes, including the necessary help to do the work they are paid for.

fact that they had full information as to the German violations of our na- tional rights during the time when the administration was also boasting of our friendliness toward Germany and not getting ready for the certain con flict. Former Ambassador Gerard has repeatedly told of his intimate knowl- edge of the faithlessness and inhu- manity of the German rulers. George Creel has enumerated the instances in which the administration had discov- cred German conspiracies in this coun- try against the interests of this gov ernment long before we entered the war. Now in an address at Schenec- tady, N. Y., Secretary of State Lam sing referred to the plots which, while this country was still neutral, were directed, approved, or financed by Count Bernstorff, Won Papan, Boy-Ed, Luxburg, Won Eckardt, and other rep resentatives and secret agents of the Berlin government. The remarkable feature of the address is contained in the admission that "long before it was considered wise to make the facts pub lie, the American government, posses sing evidence of their improper con duct, kept constant watch over these conspirators, who depended upon the innocent credulity of these idiotic Yankees as Captain Won Papen sneeringly called us."
 And yet, with these facts in hand and kept secret from the American people, the administration dallied with preparedness, made a campaign on a 'kept-us-out-of-war" platform, and announced that there was no hostile feeling here in official quarters to- ward the Imperial German Govern ment" and that the "best of Friendly relations exist between this country and Germany" No one was fooled but the American people.

The American citizen can not help but feel pardonable pride when they look at the splendid young huskies going through by the train load wear ing Uncle Sam's uniform. You could hunt the world over and not find a more competent looking, aggressive, eager to serve body of men. There is confidence in their walk and every act and they look as though they were going to enjoy every hour of the time spent in their country's service. That's the way they impress most people who see them and the great wonder is how Uncle Sam can bring about the change in so short time.

become bona fide home builder here. He left Flagstaff to go into business for himself at Williams number of years ago and was appointed post master there, which place he held for a number of years and was generally spoken of by the people and postal of ficials as one of the best men in the business, a compliment not generally handed around to federal officials by superiors.
 Under the rapidly multiplying de- tails and difficulties of the office of treasurer and tax collector for the county as well as for the city, the place is one of utmost importance to the taxpayers, necessitating more than ordinary clerical ability and knowledge of office work. Mir. Smith has had years of experience along those lines and would fit in to a nicety. He has never been a candidate for county office before, but since making up his mind finally as to his candidacy, he is out to win, and his friends do not doubt for moment but that he will win.

PAN-VELVET PATRIOTISM,

Some time ago Secretary McAdoo crowded a little paragraph into his daily publicity columns in advocacy of mended trousers as measure of econ omy. Recently he and his family have been gliding around the country in a de luxe private car, after the secre- tary, as director general of the rail- roads, had forbidden the use of the private car. Thus we witness the de- velopment of democracy in the United States when the Democrats hold de- spotic sway. The man who breaches patched pants brushes his sleeve of the hoi polloi and the family skirts must be drawn aside as they pass the dungarees.

While of course it is not expected that the Indian should work or fight, there is an effort being made to al- low the leasing of the mineral lands on Indian reservations to the whites, who have to either work or fight. Such leasing, in which a certain percent age of the net profits must be paid the Indians, will work a great hard ship on the Redman; the noise of blasting will disturb his rest, also make great gashes in the earth which he will have to avoid falling into. This metal and the great water power that is going to waste should be conserved for the Redman and his children's children, that war and the work of war may not disturb them in their sweatless pursuit of happiness and comfort.

HUNTS OFFENSIVE FAILS.

George w. P. Hunts grand offen- sive to capture the Democratic nomi- nation for governor, launched with the calling of the special war session or the legislature, is proving rank fail ure and indications now are that the Hunt machine will be content if it can put Colter over on the voters of the state.
 The special war session has turned out bad. There has been lots of war but it has been confined to the legis- lative halls. Evidently the governor had gotten by so long in his affilia- tions with members of the I. w. w.. and other worse enemies of the gov ernment without exposure that he thought it safe to proceed with the drive for the nomination which he started by his now famous message which sealed his friendship for and support of the wobblies.
 Thousands of former Hunt support CTS have been forced by the disclosures of his intimacy with the l. w. w. to abandon him and instead of develop ing him as a candidate for governor, the special session has only further discredited him. And so the machine will line up behind Colter and take no chances of defeat with Hunt as a can didate. The governor likewise fears to endanger his senatorial aspirations for 1920.
 Golfers record in the senate fixes him in the minds of the most unso- phisticated as tool of the Hunt regime. He, like the governor, will never offend the I. W. w. He will be clay in the hands of Hunt, Winsor and Ladd. Golfer being capitalist can spread around the coin freely and that is what the machine likes. Hunt may yet try for the nomination, but 1t is our guess that Sutter, Hugh Camp bell and few others in his own party have put him on the shelf and that Golfer will wear the Hunt mantle.-- Tucson Citizen.

CAMPBELL WILL WIN
 HOME COUNTY BY 800

Report comes from Prescott that Tom Campbell will easily receive a majority of 800 over either George Hunt or Fred Colter in Yavapai coun- ty, in the November election. Some disappointment was expressed in 1916 that Campbell did not carry his home county by large majority, but it must be remembered that he did not spend much time in the county where he was born, during the campaign.
 This year he has started in early and for the past two weeks has been visiting most of the outlying precincts of Yavapai county, where he has been received with enthusiasm. The ma jority of those whom he meets take the view that he was counted out and received very raw deal and will sup port him regardless of party.
 Hunt has been dropped by most of his former friends on account of re-
