LEVIN to the suba;4erns, but among
Inc higher grades a remarkable con-
scnsus of sentiments sustains the
commanders eagerness for keeping
the army morally fine. An incident in
enc of the best disciplined regiments
of the front line reveals how strongly
this :i.etter idehl is already intrenched
in the thought Of army leaders. A
lieutenant newly assigned to the regi-
ment lectured his platocc on the mill
tary duty of avoiding contagious
diseases. understand me now, he
said sternly to the men; 81 don't give

That ,yoi keep out Of places where
you might contract contagion that

The colonel Of the regiment heard
of the speech and promptly sent FIR
the lieutenant. "Did you talk to your
men in this way that has been re-
ported to .ne?" he asked. The lieuten-
ant acknowledged the accuracy of
the quotation. "Do you think that
talk of that kind stands for the mind
of your superiors and represents the
spirit of TIC A. e. Egg was the next

Rises Superior to Religious Differ
ences.
Paris, Oct. 2, (By Mail)-The
.nroudest thing to be said about and am
.or. the American Army; in France F!
Ia moral viewpoint is that its
rroanding general is just as an
xous to see his soldiers maintain
s,e9a. faithful standard Of manly
,iat:ae city as to see them come oil
ii, .orious in battle. Not often has 1t
l.acn possible to say SO much OF any
army and it's Enthusiastically never
in any army comparable in size and
Significance to the American Expedi-
tionary Force now. in France. But it
is literally true concerning General
Pershing. And his sentiments in the
regard are not merely utilitarian. He
Knows right well, Of course, as any
thorough soldier must, that an army
sniade up IF men Sound and strong in
personal character is necessarily a
more dependable army in a military
! serse than could ever be constitute
from rogues and TufaaEs;.
But his moral concern for, his men
s.goes deeper than that. 1t is out Of his
:. own personal valuation of religious
his own experience of it--that
General nerahinE%hass set:his heart on
having every solaiee Under his cons
a,ahd preserve in France whatever re-.
s:sligious faith : be brought from the
lams land all Of it. at full Strength
and sst more Of it Il he can.
y. This is the handspring 3 the en-.
enlargement which the commanding
general has so constantly given to
the Y. NJ. C. A., the Knights OF. Col
rmbus, the Jewish Welfare; Board and
the Salvation Army. He wants his men
under the influence of these religious
forces. It Is the secret also Of his
sqnite unexampled pains to develop
the power and use Of the ehaplaincy
among his troops the reason why he
insistsd on creating the heretofore
uphsard of Office Of "senior chaplain"
ii the army and on appointing to The
position the man who had been his
counselor Bishop Brent no great
own most Strengthening spiritual
soldier ever issued before to his troops
shy such moving religious appeal as
that unofficial but nightly effective
Sord Of counsel SO widely circulated
BY the Y. M. c., in which General
Pershing, like an older brother of his
soldiers, begs them to be true to the
precepts Of the Ssvious. And these
public signs confirm the reality of the
conviction which an innocent revela-
ton Of headquarters secrets tells of
his expressing to his sta: "Gentlernen,
this army of ours has heart and
conscience, and that heart and COP
science must be :ed." In that noble
word is spoken the explanation of
much that makes General Pcrshing
unique among thesmiBtary chieftains
ofshis time. ~ $ 4

Killed in Accident.

H. F. Sutherland has been no.
tilted of the death of his brother
in-law, William G. Code, form
erly a resident of Winslow and
known to many of our citizens.
From an account of the accident,
taken from a Denver paper, it
appears that Mr.. Code, who is
grand knight of the K. of C. in
Colorado, had gone to the town
Of Segundo with the hearse
driver to bring a body to Trina
dad, and returning they did not
observe an approaching train as
they drove on the track. Mr..
Code was killed instantly, the
body being crushed beyond re-
cognition. The other man was
so badly injured that he died in
a few hours.

Another Mistake.

The editor has several times in
the past called attention to what
we considered mistakes of judg-
ment on the part of Gov. Hunt,
and last Saturday the Governor
notified us that he had that day
appointed the editor as one of
the Regents of the State Uni
versity to succeed DR.. White
more, of Tucson, whose term had
expired. Extreme modesty pre-
vents making any adverse criti-
cism on the Governors selection.
1t appears the law says there
must be at least three republi-
cans to act as a leaven of righte-
BUSINESS on the board. Mrs. Mar
shall, of Tucson, also republican,
was selected at the same time to
fill the place of another member
whose term had expired.

Red Cross News.

At the meeting of the execu-
tive board last Tuesday evening
Mrs. A. K. Goldman, who has
been the competent and efficient
secretary of the Red Cross Chap
ter since it's organization, tender
ed her resignation. Mrs. Gold
man felt called upon to resign as
she is candidate for county su-
perintendent of schools. Under
the circumstances the committee
felt her wishes should govern,
and Mrs. Gamman, who has been
one of the faithful workers, was
chosen to fill the unexpired term.
Mrs. Goldman was given a vote
of thanks for the valuable ser
vice she had so cheerfully given
the past year, and regret ex-
pressed at losing one of the most
competent secretaries in the Pa
Gifts Division.
Mrs. Jackson as chairman of
the membership committee, of
fered her report of 1863 new
members for the month, and nu-
merous monthly pledges. The
committee has not yet concluded
it's canvass Of the town.
The new constitution recon-
mended by the national society
was adopted, which makes the
present executive committee a
board of directors, and from the
number three members are elect
ed to serve with the chairman.
vice chairman, secretary and
treasurer, as an executive COM
mittee.
Mrs. Schleuter, chairman of
the home service section, reports
no cases of soldier dependents
who were in need or who sought
the aid of the committee along
the line of any of it's activities.
Geo. Keyes, chairman of the
canteen service. had a hOln,1et
thrown at his workers from di-
vision headquarters, for the eff
ficient service rendered in taking
care of the soldier trains.

Sutter Meeting.

Last Tuesday evening the ope-
ra house was filled to standing
room with an audience who with
fear and trembling had assem-
bled to see and hear Fred Sutter.
who had been pictured as bad
man, seeking the destruction of
all established government and
the enslavement of mankind. A
sigh of relieve was almost audi
bic when the chairman introduc-
ed a smiling, pleasant gentle
man, perfectly groomed, as Mr..
Sutter. For an hour he talked
to the people, outlining the poll
cies he would put into effect if
elected governor, and he laid
particular stress on the point
that he wanted the votes only of
the decent law-abiding citizens
of the community. The gener-
Gus applause given Sutter dem
onstrated that he was striking a
popular cord, and had succeeded
in disabusing the minds of his
auditors that he was vicious
and unsafe man to be elected as
governor. Sutter stock has TAX
en- a new boom in Winslow, and
If it continues he will carry the
county. The bugaboo of corpor-
alton candidate is subsiding, and
the higher ideal is coming to the
front to nominate a man who has
high ideals of civic purity, and is
not catering to the support of
boot-leggers, gamblers, pimps,
and others of their ilk.

Attempted Suicide.

A young lady named Annie
Sutherland. who came here a
couple of months ago from Gal
lup, attempted suicide Monday
afternoon by taking dose of
belladonna. The young lady has
been employed at the Navajo
restaurant. and had met and
been keeping company with a
young man named Dave Burkett.
1t appears from a statement by
the girl, and the contents of a
letter she had prepared, that she
had seen the young man out
walking with another girl, and
the sunshine of life was instant
ly obscured by a cloud of jeal-
ousy. She repaired to her room
at once, wrote out the pitiful
tale of blighted love and sacri-
fees made in vain, and took the
poison to lull her away from the
cruel world. The doctors inter-
fered with her contemplated
voyage to the other shore.

Thrift Stamps.

The committee in charge of
pushing the sale of thrift stamps
and war saving certificates are
anxious to have all those who
signed pledges to purchase cer-
tain amount by the first of the
year, to keep buying a pro rata
portion each month, so the rec
ord will show we are doing our
full duty. The committee has
secured the services of a young.
lady who will call every month
on those who have signed pledge
cards, to check up their pur-
chases Of war stamps during the
month.

New Draft Law

The administration draft law
extending the age limit for reg
istration for war service from 18
to As years has passed, and the
work of registering will be speed
ed up at once. 1t is expected the
new law will raise an army of a
couple of million for service over
sea before next June. 1t means
the United States expects to
get the Hun, and no more fool
ishness will be tolerated from the
Kaiser. More strength to Uncle
Sans arm.

Death Summons.

A telegram brings the sad in
telligence to the editor that his
only brother, Will, had passed to
his eternal rest Tuesday morn
! ing at his home in Chicago. He
was the older of the two, and
in all the years of childhood, ev-
en- up to early manhood he was
our loving companion and men,
tor. We learned our printing
trades in the same office, and for
many years thereafter we were
associated together in the news
paper business. Then our paths
drifted apart, his work calling
him to Chicago, where he was
editor of the Chicago Post for
number of years. a position he
resigned to become superintend-
ent of the Cook County Hospital.
It seems only a day since we
were boys together, and we can
only picture him now as a young
man in all his vigor and strength,
cut down in his prime. The
SHOWS of years that whitened
his head we never saw, and the
faltering step of insidious dis
ease could not be associated with
the virility he possessed in those
days of long ago. His passing
leaves only sister of a happy
family that located in Illinois
more than forty years ago.

A Doubtful Order.

"A DOo0SA ak OAoCAs
The state council of defense,
at its last meeting, passed an or
der requiring all merchants to
mark the cost and selling price
in plain figures on all merchan-
disc offered for sale, which to
our mind is of doubtful expedi-
ency, even if it is not an inva-
sion of constitutional rights; and
is a reflection on the loyalty of
the merchants of the state by
implication that they are prof.
teers who must be regulated.
The council of defense should re-
me ember that it's powers are not
greater than it's creator, and that
it's greatest efficiency will be at
tanned by the hearty co-opera-
ton ef the people.
We believe the state council as
now organized is composed of
level-headed men, with conser-
vative ideas, and when they give
this subject the sober considera-
tion it deserves they will readily
see the order will work an in
justice on the merchants of the
state. Certainly no good can be
accomplished, and the enforce
ment of the order simply places
the stigma of disloyalty on just
as patriotic a class of citizens as
we have in the, state. If the
council of defense want to un-
earth profteers let them call for
copies of invoices received by
the merchants, and then ascer-
tain the selling price, with prop
er allowances for overhead ex-
pense for doing business. One
of the essentials in the success
of merchandising is shrewd buy
ing, and if a merchant has to
expose his hand to competitors
it works injustice and places a
: handicap on ambition to excel.
Another matter to be considered
is the varying cost of doing bus
mess. Without knowing, we
venture the prediction this order
had it's inception from the large
department stores who employ
young women at $40 a week, un-
der the present minimum wage
law. In this town the average
wage of the clerks exceed $100
a month, and so far as we are
concerned we are willing to pay
a few cents more for an article
in order that the clerks may re-
> ceive decent wage. rather than
save the pennies and compel a
girl to work for $40 week.
1t would seem the time has
about arrived when we quit try
ing out every new scheme and
hobby on the dog, which in this
case is the state of Arizona. Is
this state and it's people always
to be exploited with every here
sy and doctrine of socialism?
