THE OLD COUNTRY FOR THEM.

The records of the local exemption board disclose the fact that several persons of alien birth, who had taken out their first papers and declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, appeared before the board and expressed a desire to renounce their first papers: they do not desire to become citizens of this country. Of course, the reason is ob- vious. They desire to escape military service. Nothing was left for the board to do, in the circumstances, but to yield to their request Under a recent law passed by the congress. these people are forever barred from becoming citizens of the United States Well and good. but that is not enough They should be sent to the country from whence they came without un- due delay. By their own willful acts, they have destroyed their usefulness in this country. This is big country but it is too small to harbor those who in the hour of trial fail to respond to the call of the coors. And if any of these men are employees of the government railway project, they should resign or get kicked out of employment. None of Uncle Sans good money should go to feed those who are found wanting It is the old country for them. and the sooner the Times.

CREEDS AND THE WAR.

It has been in mind for some time to say something pertaining to the war in relation to Crceds-not with a view of discussing the relative merits with the idea that the war would bring closer together those of all the creeds, for ill this day and age there are few who deep down, do not believe in d supreme being. but who naturally question the theories of the hide bound that man is going to heaven or hell. according to what creed he embraces. About the best comment We have seen on the subject. occurs in a recent issue of Bridgeport Life, from which We quote an eXerpt as follows:
 70 many gods. so many creeds
 So many paths that wind and wind
 When just the art of being kind
 Is all the sad world needs"
 Perhaps the biggest thing that has come out of the war has been the merging of creeds and dogmas into the one big issue Win!" Soldiers are forgetting whether their comrades not as Jew and Gentle. Catholic or Protestants. but they are remember ing that they are free men fighting not at Jew and Gentle. Catholic or hut fnr nnylpupH hItt, n beings.
 Mary Boyle O'Reilly, war cores pendent and nurse, brave daughter of a brave father. while speaking in the States on her experiences abroad related the story of a strictly orthodox Church of England woman who had fled to the nearest church cellar for protection during a London air raid. Her dismay when she found that her place of refuge was a Catholic church cellar, was almost tragic. As the evening wore on, however, and the tedious wait was relieved by tea and cakes. she began to feel less uneasy about her surroundings.
 But" to quote Miss O'Reilly, be fore the siren sounded 'all's safe she was convinced that she perhaps had been narrow-minded and unnecessar ily hide ebound in her religious beliefs. Why, she said to me later, I don't know but that Catholics are as good as PrOtestants, anyway. And she added. naively, that tea and those cakes were certainly as good as our minister's wife makesn Which was high praise indeed, from the lady"

Bringing Up Father" I"

They're screaming their heads
off all along the route of the lat
est George McManus cartoon mu-
sical comedy, Bringing Up Fa-
ther Abroad" according to the
newspaper and other reports.
The production comes to the OPP
era House next Monday, April
22d. 1t is said to be laugh
from curtain to curtain, save
when the comelist of all comely
chorus girls are singing or dane
ing, or the other specialists are
entertaining with their individ-
ual and combined genius.
A company even more brilliant
than the hilarious organization
that made the Father" series
renowned throughout the coun-
try, is accredited to this new in
depreciation. The chorus is said
to be the smartest, youngest and
liVeliest of all the auxiliary fem
mime bevies this season on tour.

There is a lesson for the young
men of the country in the news
columns of a Los Angeles news
paper a few days ago, On the
same day three homes were cast
in gloom by tidings of a son. In
one of the homes the parents are
bowed in grief and disgrace over
a son who was killed by an Off
Ger as a law breaker; and in an
other home a boy companion is
dangerously wounded and may
die. In the third home the pa
rents are bowed in grief over a
letter from the war department
notifying them of the death of
their son in the trenches. While
their hearts ache at the great
sacrifice they have been called to
make, they are not crushed with
shame. and they can feel proud
of their hero boy who gave his
life for his country. He has
honored the name of his father,
and paid the most beautiful trib-
ute possible to the mother who
gave him birth.

Senator w 7 Stone of n

Senator W. J. Stone Of Mis-
souri,, died very suddenly at his
home in Washington last Sunday
from a stroke of paralysis. He
has been prominent in public
life and democratic politics for
nearly half a century, but his
attitude in the senate since the
war marred the record of a use

Gov. Gunter, of Colorado

Gov. Gunter, of Colorado, ex-
pressed the sentiment Of all peo-
pie, in his refusal to allow the
staging of the Naturalization
prize fight in that state, when he
said: "The place for them to
fight is in the trenches in France.
All American fighting should be
done over there for the honor of
our country, and not in a ring
anywhere in any stat for
dollars"

Judging by a couple of articles
appearing in the Los Angeles
Times from Mrs. Douglas Fair
banks and Owen Moore, the hus-
band of Mary Pickford, we are
led to believe that the charming
Miss Mary is not as virtuous in
her everyday life as she repre-
sents herself to be in the "mov-
les" Perhaps if the patrons
of the movies, who believe in a
high standard of morals, would
refuse to patronize a show when
either Doug. Fairbanks or Mary
appear on the screen, it might
have the effect of removing open
scandal from the movie business.
Doug. and Mary are now ap-
pearing together in the east SELL
ing Liberty bonds, while Mrs.
Fairbanks is in a sanatarium in
New York, and Mary's husband
is cooling his heels in the serf at
Los Angeles. And Mary is ad-
vertised as Americas sweet
heart. Perhaps she is, but don't
let all of US men speak at once.

The Phoenix Messenger thinks
that a political moratorium should
be declared until the close of the
war, dispensing with elections
and let all public officers how
holding jobs continue until peace
is declared. We would not be so
ungracious as to accuse Mr.. Mills
of advocating the measure at this
time because most of the offices
in the country are in the hands
of the democrats, and we are
perfectly willing to believe the
suggestion comes from tn e
promptings of patriotism. But
to the patriotic, everybody must
be patriotic, and what will we do
with the public officials who are
disloyal at heart, and dissent
nators of Hun propaganda. For
instance, take the three state
officials in Arizona who were the
active agents of the Huns, and
pulled off the drunken orgy in
the hotel at San Diego with lot
of Arizona soldier boys in viola
tion of military law of giving
liquor to soldiers? Must the state
continue to be disgraced by that
bunch through political mora
torium until the close of the war?
God forbid. There is altogether
too much silly twaddle and
tommy-rot developing over this
war. 1t is not such a menace to
this country that it is necessary
to suspend the operation of the
national and state constitutions,
and deprive the people of their
rights and liberties to vote for
the men they want to put in
charge of the affairs of state. If
Congress has the right or power
to declare political moratorium
during the war they have the
power to continue the moratorium
during the lifetime of the pres
ent office-holders, and that means
the destruction of our democracy,
for which we are to-day spending
billions of dollars and raising an
army of millions of men to main
tain. Let us all remain sane at
least during this war, and devote
our time and energies to bring it
to a speedy conclusion.

1t is reported that Adjutant
General Harris is going to enter
the service Under General Strong,
of Camp Kearney, as Adjutant
of the 10th Division. We trust
this is not so, for what will be-
come of the military department
of the state of Arizona if he
leaves us. He is the only man
in the state that can hold the
job, and he realized so thoroughly
his Importance to the military
arm of our state government
that he had the last legislature
pass bill that would keep him
in office perpetually. 1t was a
one-sided contract for the reason
that while he was given a per-
petual right to the office there
was no provision that he had to
stick if something better pre-
sented. The only hope for the
state is for Gov. Hunt to appoint
Bob Walton, the senior member
of the Winslow Nails law de-
partment, as Harris successor.
He is a militant cuss, and what
he knows about military and
political manouvers would make
Gen. Haig look like a novice.

What excuse has any man for
not buying a Liberty bond when
he can purchase a $50 bond by
paying $2.5O in cash, $40 thirty
days later, $3.50 sixty days
later, and 500 in the next thirty
days? A saving of $3.50 a week
will meet the payments.

The American army in France,
although small in number as
compared with other nations, is
giving a good account of itself.
The Kaiser has already discov-
cred that the American soldier,
even though a ''rookey," is not
afraid of the German soldiers in
the assaults, and he is not wasting
any ammunition when he shoots.

Bolsheviki and |. w. w.

PoCh iOSlotii Oli oil 0lS Iii. L Lllo w al
is being fought to destroy Prus-
sianism and the power of autoc-
racy, and the establishment of
characterization of the world;
and any organization or cult by
its teachings, theory or precepts
that is not whole-hearted and
enthusiastically putting fort h
every effort at their command to
assist the United States in fight
ing the war to a successful and
speedy conclusion, are disloyal
at heart and a menace to the
country.
The Bolsheviki of Russia are
the |. W. W. of America, and
while they may not be pro-Ger-
man, they are radically disloyal
even to the point of treason to
our government, and to all in
tents and purposes are as much
to be feared and guarded against
as German spies or traitors.
There is no use mincing words in
any effort to justify the existence
of the l. w. w. and their alleged
Utopian propaganda, which has
for it's basis the destruction of
wealth and the Encouragement
of thrift. The l. W. w. are
simply anarchists of a mild form
under a new name, under the
leadership of man who was in
dicted as an accomplice in the
assassination of the governor of
Idaho. They consider every man
an enemy of their illusionary
scheme of government who by
thrift and industry accumulates
a few dollars over and above his
daily needs, and to punish the
transgression they believe in and
practice sabotage to discourage
and bring the offender down to
their level of citizenship. A gospel
of this kind is dangerous even in
peace times, but to preach it at a
time when the nation is at war
is little short of rank treason,
and the sooner such an organiza-
tion is suppressed and it's votaries
placed in detention camps the
better it will be for the country.
The Bolsheviki took advantage
of the throes of revolution when
the people were overturning the
autocratic rule of Russia to es-
tablish themselves in power, and
Immediately made a disgraceful
surrender to Germany, reserving
only to themselves the right to
confiscate or destroy the property
interests of the frugal and thrifty,
and establish the rule of equality
down to their shiftless and i'm
provident standard. The |. w w.
are only hoping they can find
such an opportunity in this
country to put the same ideas
into practice. They are opposed
to any form of government that
has a basic principle of property
rights, and they have taken on
renewed activity at this time,
when the government is exerting
every power in this war to es-
tablish a world democracy, vi
sionarily with the hope that the
time will come when they can
overthrow our established liberty,
and following the Bolsheviki idea,
surrendering to Germany by re-
calling the troops and disarming
the nation, reserving to their
following the right to plunder
and sabotage.
There is no place in the United
States for the l.W.W. nor any of
their defenders. This country
has grown to be the biggest ma
tion in the world under the con-
stitutional guarantee of liberty,
with equal rights and opportun-
tiles to all, where the standard
of good citizenship is based on
