FITS VERSUS FITS

William C. Fits, assistant attorney gen eral of the United States, who is in charge of the prosecution in the cases in the U. 5. court at Tucson against certain Bisbee residents charged with deporting l. ". w. leaders and members and sympathizers during the l. w. w. strike here last sum- mer, Is placed by circumstances in rather peculiar position In an address before the Mississippi State Bar association, Mir. Pitts gave the l. W. w. fits as follows:
 The l. w. W. have destroyed mining machinery, especially in the copper mines and in the mines where the minerals es- sential to the conduct of the war are mined or produced They have fired the forests. particularly the forests of spruce; that being the wood essential for making air planes. They have destroyed saws in the saw-mills by driving pieces of steel or iron in the logs so as to break the. band saws and unnerve the sawyers. They saw lum- Der shorter than standard lengths.
 The l. w. W. have surrounded court houses and packed court rooms for the purpose of putting over their plans. They have taken possession of railroad trains and assaulted and murdered the train crews. They missend freight misplace sig nal lights, and put emery dust in journal boxes on railroad cars.
 Members of the organization place foreign substances in food in hotels and restaurants. break crockery, dip table forks in crude oil, use stinkpots in dining rooms and put bedbugs in beds. They plant trees upside down, hoe up potato vines instead of weeds, bruise apples and other fruit in packing They remove units from care fully adjusted machinery, misplace and omit parts of copy in printing offices and put foreign substances in canned goods.
 MT. Pitts seems to have the l. w. w. sized up to the full extent of all their harm ful and vicious acts and propaganda He strikes straight from the shoulder And il is a strange irony of fate that this same orator should be placed in charge of pro.

 NOW q RECEIVED
Local Board Has Received h. structions Which Are Sim liar to Those Used Last Year.

Official regulations governing the registration June ,, O. all young men who have reached the age of 2l years since June 5. 1917. have been received at draft headquarters in Tombstone. The public resolution approved by congress which provides for this reg | istration contains the following pro vision:
 That during the present emerg- ency all male persons, citizens of the | United States, and all male persons residing in the United States. who have, since June ,, 1917, and on or | before the day set for registration by proclamation by the president, at- | tained the age of 3l years shall De subject to registration in accordance with regulations to be prescribed by the president, stating time and place of such registration, it shall be the duty O, all such persons, except such persons as are exempt from registra- ticn under the act of May 1, 1917, and any act or acts amendatory thereof, to present themselves for and submit 70 registration under the provisions of said act approved May IS, 1917, and they shall be registered in the same manner and subject to the same re- oIlil ements and liabilities as those previously registered under the pro visions of this act shall be placed at the bottom of the list of those liable for military service in the several classes to which they are assigned, under such rules and regulations as the president may prescribe"
 Those who are required to register and those who are exempt are de scTihed as follows.
 Persons required to register.-All male persons, citizens of the United States, and all male persons residing in the United States, who have, since June ,, 1917, and on or before the day set for registration by the presidents proclamation, attained the age of 21 wears, must register The only excep- tions are persons in the militsry or naval service O. the United States, which includes all officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, the marine corps, and the national guard and naval militia, while in the service of the United States, and off cers in the officers reserve corps ana enlisted men in the enlisted reserve corps while in active service.
 The place of registration is the of flee of the local board having juris- diction of the area in which each per sen resides who is eligible to regis tration The time of registration IS between : o'clock a. m. and 9 o'clock D. m.. Wednesday, June ,, 1918.
 With slight changes, the method of conducting the registration of next month is practically the same as that of the original registration last year.
 That $500 young men in Arizona have become of age since June 5, 1917, and are eligible to registration is the opinion of officials at draft headduarters in Phoenix. Deducting the aliens and those physically unfit and those with dependents, 1t is eN- pected that not more than 1900 of the 800 who prabably will register, will be placed in class l, Tor military service.

 of companies of local men to be drilled
 uy members of Company l., 1nHty-
 nth inianJry, stationed at Lowell, arc requested to meet at the camp or ti'e tucai company at 6:3O clock this evening. At that time at least two companies of four squads eacn will be tormeo, and the first drill will 0e had.
 Last evening about twenty TesponG- ed to the call TOT the first meetnS Tor drill. despite the fact that the
 meet ling had not been thoroughly ad- yertised.

HUNT DENIES

A telegraph dispatch from Phoenix last week says that Gov. Hunt denies most emphatically that he ever said. To hell with the war, as Harold Lawrence, the Flagstaff Normal instructor, is reported as quoting him. Hunt also denies that he has expressed sympathy with the Bolshevik, although he does not, in this statement, deny the many charges and hints of l. w. w. leanings sympathies and affiliations. The governor is complainant in criminal libel suits against the newspapers who used the Lawrence statements. Lawrence, who Is in the east, has been summoned back to testify in these suits The governor char acterized the Lawrence statement as a lie without foundation" and also as wantcn perjury But at that 1t seems as though the loyalty of our governor was on the de- fensive in time of war instead of leading the state in a virile and aggressive offense.- He appears to be placed in position where he must deny instead of show the way to the patriots of Arizona. This Is an untor- tunate state of affairs, both for the gover- nor and for the state, at this particualr time. As he says, the governor may we'll De IdlSSly dCCuoCO, ilidy WCl OC tiiO VII tim of cruel and ruthless enemies, but even so, his company and his acts would not seem to have been such as to lift him above all suspicion CT to hedge him round about with an impenetrable shield. At least he has been assailed, unjustly it may well be, but assailed, nevertheless. But many men, careless of their company and indifferent of the streets they roam and the words they say and the sympathies they express and the letters they write, have been laid open to suspicion and even to attack. Oft en they have been proved innocent; often guilty But it is fact beyond all dispute or doubt, that public men and leaders who have always carried themselves so as to be far above and beyond suspicion of their motives or loyalty are more effective in their leadership. especially in war times, If leader is assailed at home if he must stop to deny, he is handicapped sadly in any effort to conduct real offensive for his state in the great war work of the na- ton.

Lillian Gish, the famous movie star, IS in Paris, and has written most interesting and thrilling letter to her old home paper, the Los Angeles Times, about her expert ences and impressions in the queen ot cities. She visited the battlefield of the Marne and the scene moved this dainty and beautiful lass to expression of senti- ment and patriotism and philosophy wor- thy of Macauley The sublime and the ridiculous, slang and strong synonyms, walk hand in hand through her letter, but it is all the easier to understand and 1t strikes all the harder against the cells of the average mind. In her last paragraph the fair Lillian, sitting at her desk in Paris, but with her soul still on the battlefield of the Marne writes;
 But, believe me, that is as far as the Germans will ever get, because the French are going to keep on working, keep on laughing, and keep on fighting. If you will tell me how you are going to lick people like that, whether they are in Mas sillon, Ohio, or in France, you will tell me something that don't know. You just cant do it-that's all

Marshal Ludendorf has been quoted as declaring that he will sacrifice million Germans to reach the channel ports. We'll
 that is fair enough. We will trade him these ports for million. It Is good price for the ports. If he should take them at this cost it would be victory rather than a defeat for the allies, for he could not hold them long. Ludendorf cannot afford to pay a million men for an advance. If he does he will go bankrupt and the house ot Hohenzollern will come a cropper right in the midst of its most daring speculation, and what would it profit this house to cor ner the market if the house itself falls into ruin behind its own efforts. A million indeed. Ludendorf cannot afford to lose a half million men this summer unless in the losing he destroys the allied armies, no matter how far he advances his lines or what towns or ports he may succeed in wrestling temporarily from France.

These conclusions fair just matters of serious
only to those engaged in the meat packing business
but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given on profits misleading and the

The business Of the largest American industries

The report states that the aggregate profits Of four large pack

This compared with 900 the average annual
profit for the three years before the war; making appear that
profit 900 greater than the prewar profit
This compares three year profit with oneyear profit
manifesy unfair method Of comparison 1t is not only mis-

made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate profit Of was earned on

three cents each dollar sales-or fraction of cent
per pound Of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices Of live stock
