Other countries engaged in the
war shoot their traitors with
scant ceremony, but in the Unit
ed States where we have citizen
traitors, as we'll as numerous
aliens, the firing squard has not
been as active as the occasion
warrants. Contractors who fur
nish the government defective
or inferior materials for war pur.
poses are traitors, and if one or
two offenders arecconvicted and
shot it will have tendency to
stop the practice. There is no
greater crime against our fight
ing forces.

The Germans are beginning to
discover that the Yankee boy
has got to be reckoned with in
this war. In the Spanish Ameri-
can war our navy lads demon
strated their expertness with the
big guns in sinking the enemy
ships, and now in the trenches
in France our boys are proving
they are experts in the artillery
game, and it is the hits that
count. Germany pretended to
make light of the entry of the
United States into the war,
claiming our men were not
trained soldiers, but before peace
is declared she will make the sad
discovery there is vast differ
ence between a soldier who has
to fight for Prussianism and the
American who is fighting for a
principle.

When this country once sets it's
hand to the plow it never turns
back until the job set out to be
performed is accomplished. The
Central Powers may be extract
ing some comfort from the fact
that Russia has quit the struggle
as one of the allies because it's
government is at present in the
hands of a mob, but this war
will continue until the principles
enunciated by President Wilson
as a peace basis are accepted by
the world, even if the struggle
has to be maintained alone by
the United States. We staid
out of the war until it was clear
ly apparent that our democracy
was threatened, and now it will
continue until it is firmly estab-
lished, never to be assailed again.
America fights for principle al
ways, and never for conquest.

Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, use

Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, used
a poor simile in his recent speech
defending the soldier boys in
France from the charge of drunk
enness. He said: ''You may
find here and there a drunken
man in the army, just as you
might number of years ago in
the senate. " What is the matter
with the present day? There are
senators to-day in Washington
that are known to be common
drunkards, and are a disgrace to
the state they represent. 1t will
also be discovered, if you dig in.
that they are holding their high
places through the influence of
powerful corporations, who want
just such men because they are
easily handled when their votes
are needed.

When the German people
awaken to a realization that the
Kaiser is waging this war. not
for the benefit of Germany, but
to satisfy his insane vaunting
ambition to be a world ruler;
that he is not an emissary of
God to bring Hohenzollern kultur
to all nations, but simply a con-
scienceless monarch who delights
in the sacrifice of blood and
treasure to prove his power; then
peace will come, because his SUBJ
jects will start a revolution such
as the world has never known,
and Prussian militarism will die
at the hands of it's subjects it
has ruled with a mailed fist all
these years. And the day is not
far distant.

The governments railway
wage commission is investigating
the question of wages paid to
certain classes of employees who
are now greatly unpaid in COM
parison with wages paid in other
branches. Even prominent men
connected with the railroads ap-
peared before the committee and
expressed themselves freely that
certain employees must be having
a strenuous time under present
conditions to make both ends
meet. The principle may be
considered a little socialistic, but
to our mind the track-walker and
the section man are just as i'm
portant an integral in successful
railroad operations as the super
intendent, the engineer, or the
train dispatcher, and they are
entitled to a sufficient wage to
maintain their families in about
the same degree of comfort as
others. To pay them a stingy
$3.50 or $1.75 a day is virtually
only a step from slavery, as this
wage will not even supply the
barest necessities to keep a fam
lily from starvation and want,
and in this age the rewards of
a mans toll for a day should be
great enough to enable him to
provide for his family all of ne
cessities and some of the luxuries
of life. A true democracy will
only come when all men who toll
are given a decent wage that
will elevate them from abject
slavery to a certain degree of
independence.

There was a time when we
hoped for an early peace, but
now we trust no peace will come
until the Hohenzollens and the

queror be the nightmare of his
undoing.

That there is a scarcity of

the fact that the registrar of

to issue a burial certificate until
the sugar card of deceased is

'fDon'ts" For Oil Investors.

l. liz CAlIlO1IIOl1 vi I1l1L ~ OS-
come an oil producing state has
given rise to much excitement,
the organization of many oil
companies, the sale of many oil
stocks on attractive terms and,
in a word, speculation is running
mad, and when speculation runs
mad common sense is not in evil
dence.
The Arizona State Bureau of
mines wishes to call to the atten-
tion of the people of the state
necessity for the use of common
sense in making purchases of
oil stocks, and issues the follow
ing list Of "don'ts" to the OIL
investing public. Oil speculation
offers large rewards if successful
and the investor can eliminate
some of the doubtful factors.
Don't invest in an oil company
where the surface rocks are igne-
Gus or badly faulted or do not
contain oil surface indications.
Don't invest in an oil company
if the treasury stock that is avail
able to be sold is insufficient to
completely finance the proposed
operations, it being assumed that
the stock will be sold at the
current selling price. It costs
thirty thousand to fifty thousand
dollars to sink and case a we'll in
a new field. If oil is struck it
will cost more money thereafter.
If there is no treasury stocks left
to be sold it means either failure
or reorganization, which depre-
ciates the value of the original
stock purchase.
Don't invest in an oil company
unless you know exactly
what percentage of your money
is going to stock, what percent
age goes into overhead expenses,
what percentage into salaries
and what percentage actually
goes into the ground.
Don't invest in an oil company
unless you know the original dis
tribution Of stock, how much
stock was paid for the land, how
much for promotion purposes or
how much went to the treasury
of the company.
Don't invest in an oil company
unless you know the reputation
of the men back of it and feel
satisfied as to their honesty and
capability of handling the propo-
sition.
Don't invest in an oil company
unless that company has expert
advice as to it's operations and
the placing of it's wells.
Don't invest in an oil company
until you ascertain whether or
not they have permission to sell
stock in this state and in that
case insist on seeing that permit
issued from the Arizona Corpor-
alton.
Don't invest in an oil company
until you know whether the stock
you propose to buy is treasury
stock or privately-owned stock
and remember that the receipts
from treasury stock only go to
the company.
Don't invest in an oil company
until you know whether the
ground upon which it is to ope-
rate is owned by purchase or by
location or is leased and in the
case of the latter, know the terms
of the lease.
Don't invest in an oil company
that makes definite promises on
what it is going to find for you
have nothing sure on a prospec-
tive field and it can make no
honest promises.

Mexican labor, which may now as
q war emergency measure enter the
United States, will have an important
task in the harvest of the rice crop
in the southern states-a crop that is
said to be the largest ever known. In
some places so many men have been
called to the colors, or have enlisted
voluntarily, that without Mexican Ia
Dor it is feared much of the crop
might be lost. The department of la
Dor has permitted the coming of
Mexicans to ports along the gulf and
to Atlantic. ports as far north as
Charleston. They are men who are
familiar with farming conditions in
semitropical districts and will be the
most satisfactory labor supply that
could be found for the south, in the
opinion of men from that section of
the country. Next season it is ex-
pected that the Mexicans will be CIV

of the country. for they will be avail

the labor unions has been heard. But
