GREAT FOREST MUST GO FOR
 THE MILITARY

PARIS. April 30 - Will the forest of Fontainebleau have to be sacritic- ed military purposes? That queS. ton k agitating French historical artistic and literary circles. There Is little of these QueStioningS in the prac- tical military mind and it is believed probable that before long the ancient forest will resemble lumber camp on the Ottawa or he St. Maurice rivers.
 The drain cf lumber during the present war has been very great. With the difficulty in transportation growing more and more acute the sup ply of timber has had to be obtained from local tracts instead of from the virgin forests of Northern Canada.
 There is a pang of regret in artiS- tic circles but it is remembered that England has sacrificed without mur- nur the beautiful trees in the Royal Park of Windsor and it is believed that unless lumber can be obtained elsewhere under as favorable condi- tions, Fontainebleau is doomed.

 RENT CASE IS
 REAL PUzzLER

PARIS, April 90 - The remarkable inequalities resulting from the French of rents, which has been in effect ever since the war, is seen in case which has come up in the courts here. An aged Frenchman, whose only source of income was a large house, rented il just before the war to a tenant who was mObilized and k still serving. Consequently hC k not obliged to pay rent. His wife meanwhile is occupying the house, which she Sub-letS to a number of weekly tenants at a good price. The poor landlord, deprived of his only source of revenue, lives on money which he borrows at a high rate of interest, the lender being the tenaIt's wife I!e k trying to obtain some adjustment of his borrowings thru the French courts.

 TRAFFIC HAS CAUSED A WAR

DENVER. Colo, April 30 - Colo yado's first company Of state constabu- Imy k making "bootlegging" the iI- lcit traffic m liquor from wet Wyom- ing into dry Colorado, decidedly Un- popular for the "bootlegging mag hates. many of who have bee me rich since Colorado went dry two years ago.
 War to the death" on bootleg ring was the order of Colonel Frank Adams, superintendent Of the con stabulary to the first company when jt took the field January :. Already it has made it's effect felt and whisky which oootleggers formerly sold in Denver for >2.5O a pint has jumped 10 >& and S%5O a pint because of the aUd-. ed danger to it's importation. Dozen, oi men have been arrested, as many aS eleven automobiles being stopped and their occupants arrested in one night. All these automobiles carried dozens ot eases of illicit liquor.
 Before the constabuIary declared war and took the field |, also Was pos sible in Denver for whisky drinkers to choose their brand, so plentiful was the supply. Now it all is clasScd as "bootlcg" and those that drink have no choice aS to what brand
 One man already is dead through action of the ConStabulary. He was ynot near the Wyoming line in Colo rado one mght late in Febumy when he refused to halt when ordered to do so by a squad of state police. He died a few hours later :u a Cheyenne, Wyoming hospital.
 The man was Ray D. Harrigan, an automobile man of Denver Hmrigan before had been arrested by the Den yer police charged with bCotlegyinr and was suspected by the couStabula- ny of running" whisky from Cheyen- ne to Denver. However there was no liquor found in his automobile after the shooting. The Constabulary charge Harrigan this night with act ing as a pilot for another machine and that if he made it through would return and tell the other the coast was clear.
 A coincidence or the Harugan case vas that less than two weeks later his brother-in-law, m Harrig.n'S au- tomobile was arrested by the same members of the state police within two miles of where Harrigan was kill ed. This time the automobile carried 6& gallons of whisky, according to The squad which made the arrest.
 AS soon as the men can be re cruited there will be four companies ot constabulary. Eacn will consist of A. men a cautain, Gcutenapr, 7erge2nt and two corporalS.
 But me standards or the SerNice are high and men are hard to find since the war was declared by the United States on Germany. Most of the members are former soldiers Or sailors, cowboys, Texas rancherS or men who long have lived in the We; All must meet the highest physical, mental and moral requirements.
 The corstabulary was made pos sible through action of the last Colo rado legislature as a war measure t> gdard and police the state during ol JeEIu!s souN uo pomIoJ s! II 'IBM the Pennsylvania state constahulary and its members can be called for duty in any part of the state.

CAMPBELL,s STATEMENT.

The nomination of Colter for gov ernor definitely decides the issues of the coming campaign. He stands for a continuation of Hunts administra- tion policies. The very same things we fought and defeated two years ago but in an exposed and barred form. l stand upon the same principles as be- fore, that is, destruction of Huntism wobblyism, favoritism, un-American- ism and the determination to put Ari- zona in her true light before the na- tion, without taint or suspicion. United and organized without partisan preju- dice the majority of true, unselfish liberty-loving Arizonans can accom- plish this result with a decision be- yond the review of judicial action. Toe long has the organized minority ruled the disorganized majority in Arizona Let us all register for home as wei as national service tomorrow and throw off the Hunt yoke. Let's go from here and follow the example sci by the boys over there.

EQUALITY WANTED

Still less will the public enjoy the refusal of representatives to include all government clerks in the extended draft. There are thousands of these and their loss will be felt on the fight ing lines. They are no more entitled to exemption than a clerk in a shoe store or clerk in railway office or in a factory office. Their work can be done by old men, by women and by boys. When you look around for the reason for this refusal to include the government clerks in the draft you will find it in theswords of one Dent whom fortune has placed in charge of the House military affairs committee; "It would destroy the administrative departments of the government. Being interpreted, that means that il would hurt "us Democrats" and de- stroy our power"
 Will the nation accept the policy of keeping the Democrats out of the trenches as sufficient excuse floor such action? Hardly.
 The nation is not at all interested ir preserving the Democratic politica machinery; it is interested in winning the war and making the selective draf apply to all classes alike toward that end.-South Bend Tribune.

KIRKPATRICK HICH
 MAN FOR SUPERVISOR

MT. c. B. Kirkpatrick is much pleased at the big vote given him by the Democrats Tuesday, which landed him the nomination for supervisor, and in this issue asks a continuance of the good will shown him at that time, at the election this fall.
 Mir. Kirkpatrick annount es a plat form of improvement and lrogress in all departments of the couniy govern ment. If elected therefore 10 the of flee of supervisor and believes that he will be able to satisfy his constitu- ents with work well done when he lays down the duties of that office. He is an advocate of good streets, as his work in Williams demonstrates, and of good roads throughout the county. Public improvements has been his main hobby and study and he wants an opportunity to demonstrate his ability along that line to the people of the county.
 MT. Kirkpatrick feels highly com plimented on receiving the highest vote of the four candidates on the pri- mary ticket and is ambitious to prove that their confidence in him has not been misplaced.

BEwARE OF FALsE GODS.

Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of H. linois is one of valuable group of statesmen at Washington who are not afraid to speak the truth. If ever there was a time in the history of the nation when men were needed who would speak the truth courageously, it is now. In fact, one of the most dan gerous enemies of the nation IS the pretended statesman-the politician standing in the shoes of statesman who is willing to "bend the supple hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning." Sherman is not of this latter type. He has large fund of information which he has gathered by diligent and tireless effort. He is sound in the conclusions he draws from the facts. He dares to say what he thinks. It will be worth the while of every thoughtful citizen, therefore, to read any of his speeches, but par ticularly that of September 8, when he discussed some phases of the so- cialistic drift of the American govern ment. One paragraph will indicate the views Senator Sherman holds:
 "What of those, who, while the American people are centering thought and effort on our tremendous task use the war to betray republican government to it's undoing? Under the spacious pretext of war necessity they are now substituting their ob- sessions and follies for the institu- ional liberty that is the birthright of both soldier and civilian. They pillage the temple of free government and set up in it their false gods, shouting that war demands the new worship. When the men return in victory, they will face in civil life a socialistic state. Vast bureaucracies and centralized de- partments will have seized the prin- cipal occupations of private life. I belive it part of my duty to save for the man at the front the domestic in- stitutions of his country a home while he is making the world safe for dem ocracy abroad"

OUR BLIND, BRAVE ARMY.

For the average person $15 will pay the cost of an oculist's prescrir tion and purchase pair of gold mounted glasses. The sum of $1,524, ,0Q0 ,000 would provide every person in the United States with a pair of such glasses and the oculists and lens mak- CTS would all realize handsome profit. The aircraft service, which was to provide the "eyes of the army" in the fight against the Hun, received an initial appropriation of $640, ,000,- 900 which largely dissipated, and an additional appropriation of $884 ,000,- 900 with which effective have not vel been achieved, or s1,524, 100000 with which to provide our army on the western front with eyes to spot the Hun. As it has turned out, the boys in the recent drive had either to gc it blind, or borrow their "specs" from
 our Allies. There are thousands ol American aviators over there going stale for lack of planes. The cost ir man-power and treasure to the United States of this gigantic aircraft fiascc will be known only to the Recording Angel, who jots it down with eyes dimmed by tears of chagrin. How much sooner would the war end if wt could blind the Boche today with tho 22,000 planes promised us by July 1Q1QS

GOLFER AND THE CONSTITU. TInN

And there now comes another tangle in the wonderfully and fearfully made laws of Arizona. It is said that Colter can not accept the nomination for gov ernor under that "God-given constitu- tion" of the state of Arizona. The constitution says:
 "Sec. 5. No member of the legis- lature, during the term for which he shall have been elected, shall be ap- pointed or elected to any civil office of profit under this state, which have been created or the emoluments of which have been increased during said term"
 Colter was a member of the consti- tutional convention and with the vast study he has made of all questions, according to his campaign advertising, it would seem that he had pondered deeply on this question and knows just what action to take under the circum- stances.
 After all, what is the constitution of Arizona among friends
 It is rumored that there is another law on the statute books put there at the insance of Senator Roberts that a member of the legislature can not resign during his term of office. Still Roberts was a candidate for awhile and would have made the race if his candidacy had been smiled upon at the proper time.
 It indeed is strange how chickens come home to roost and how many people step right into their own we'll laid traps.
 It now looks as though this prize section, in this great emergency, will either have to be deleted or Hunt will have to run for governor on the Demo- cratic ticket. The official machinery of the Democratic party is in his hands and he can make his own nomi- nations.

CURETON STRONG MAN
 IN SENATORIAL RACE

While T. c. Cureton, at present Co., conino county's representative in the legislature, had no opposition in the Republican party for the nomination for state senator, he received a goodly vote as testimonial of his worth in the past strenuous sessions of the legislature. He did not receive a full vote for the reason that there was but one contest on the Republican tick@ and there was only prefunctoryo iri- terest taken at the primaries, but there is no reason to believe there will not be at the election this fall. 2 h
 MT. Cureton is a rancher, a teacher and has been admitted to the bar. He has never practiced law, but has the knowledge that is valuable to a mem- Der of the legislature; he knows the wants and needs of the small stock man and rancher, for he is one of them; he is teacher because he was needed in this emergency, as we'll as his need of the salary.
 Mir. Cureton was well pleased with the vote he received and promises in return to the people for their support to give them the very best there is in him for their betterment. He is alive to the questions of importance confronting the people and is willing to serve them faithfully and hon. estly.

RADICAL WING IN FULL SWING.

The general expression among poli- ticians, Democrats as we'll as Repub- licans, is that "it is the same old fight against Hunt and his element; Golfer is only creature of Hunts making" There could be no question as to the result of the primary election for the nomination for governor With the Hunt machine solidly back of Golfer and two candidates to split the bal ance of the vote, it was Colter from the first, though strange as it may seem, he only received about 20 per cent of the usual Democratic vote and is a minority candidate, foisted on the people of the state by machine politics of the worst kind. Sutter did not mince words in telling the people just what kind of an administration they were paying for, but there was enough of that element that do not pay taxes to amount to anything and expect to move on shortly anyhow, to dominate the Democratic party and make them swallow Colter as their candidate.
 They may and again they may not

COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
 Flagstaff, Ariz.. Sent. IT. 1918

To the Citizens of Coconino County:
 The Coconino County Council of De- fense, recently appointed by the State Council of Defense upon the recom- mendation of the Board of Supervis- ors, has completed its organization and is ready for business.
 The purpose of this body is to pro- mote in every way in its power and to the utmost degree every activity within the county which will in any wise tend toward winning the war. It should be, as it were, the clearing house for county war measures. It is a public body created to perform real public service. There is no reason for it's existence unless it works, but to work efficiently it must have the CO., operation of the people, and this SUD- port can come to it best through the suggestions and the steady interest of the public.
 It is body to be made use of, not to simply to organize and then pass into state of como. Thereofre, we ask the citizens of the county to make free use of this organization by offer ing constructive suggestions, bringing to it's attention anything which may increase the efficiency of this county in matters relating to the conduct of the war, and by carrying out with a willing spirit the suggestions the Council may find it necessary from time to time to make in the interests of real work. It is requested that communications on any subject relat- ing to the war work of this county be addressed to Mir. Tom L. Rees, the secretary of the County Council of Defense, who will in turn refer it to a chairman of proper committee, which chairman will deal with the matter directly with the person send ing the communication as promptly as possible, or if he thinks best, will withhold reply until consultation can be had with the full committee, and the benefit of its advice be had.
 Not only will the Council welcome suggestions, but it will feel that un- less these are made to it freely that will have no good reason for existence. It is intended to be and wants to be body of real service and the com munity can make it such if it will give cooperation. We are for the use ot the people, not for ornament. Use us.
