claims the divine right to rule. If he has this right he has the same right to bind his subjects in shackles and to misuse them If we concede this prin- cipal of divinity. Thomas Jefferson must have been inspired when he wrote the words. all men are created 1ree and equal We come into the world equal and we go out of it the same way When the kaiser faces the hereafter, he must face it without his crown and on the same basis with the rest of us. At death there is no distinction as to rank.
 From this we must judge that the words of Abraham Lincoln were in spired when he said, This nation shall not perish from the earth and that President Wilson must have likewise i been inspired when he said, we must | make the world safe for democracy
 Sherman pitched his camp on my fathers plantation. We know the truth | of his words when he said that war is he'll for we suffered all of the terrors and horrors of war. Yet, as an Amer ican, I am filled with pride to say thar when Sherman marched through Geor- gia there was not single American girl outraged by an American soldier.
 Tt is a false system looking upon the kaiser as d deputy god, and our an swer to this false creed must be the declaration of independence in which it is stated that all men ars created equal and the words of Lincoln, this nation shall not perish from the earth.
 The speaker impressed upon his lis teners the stern fact that talk will not win the war and that our soldiers can not fight at the front unless they re- ceive the entire and undivided support of those who remain at home. He de- clared that there is nc better soldier in the world than the American boy in khaki and insisted that there is mo- where on the face of the Globe a leader who can so infuse his men with the valor and spirit of aggression necessary in the soldier as "ou- General Pershing"
 Vivid Picture is Painted
 He painted a vivid picture of the American boy in the trenches; perhaps in the hands of the Germans as a pris- oner. He pictured the lad brought be- fore the kaiser and the order given by the representative of the house of rep resentative of the house of Hohenzol- 1 Tern that this youth must be executed. | Then he pointed to worse fate, that of another American boy at the front, suffering from a mortal wound, and without succor.
 Execution by the Germans would be a sad fate" said the speaker, but sup
 pose it were the lack of American doc tors of American nurses, of American food or American medicine?
 If we fail to put up the money and the labor to supply those heroes at the
 front with everything that they need,
 we are more dastardly murderers than 1 the kaiser"
 Taking the words of Napoleon as this
 theme, the speaker endorsed the words of the great Frenchman that. an army
 moves on it's stomach Going further he pointed out that there must be labor
 to feed these stomachs. He showed
 where the production of coal at home l to keep war industries running is es-
 sential also to the arlny's welfare.
 Deploring the lack of realization of
 those points he called attention to ship
 building plants in the east which are
 running but one shift of eight hours
 per day and declared that, they should
 be running three shifts of eight hcsEs
 each instead.
 And this" said the speaker in spite
 or the fact that General Pershing i:
 crying out from France that we mus
 win the war with ships; that we mus nave ships enough to span the Atlantic
 ocean like bridge if necessary. It is humiliating to the true patriot and blush of shame must oversprea( , his face at the realization that wt [ cannot build enough ships to furnish } supplies for those heroes who are giv. f ing their life blood over there He called attention to the recen , shortage of coal in the east which ne
 cessitated the closing down of war in dustrles. He dwelt upon all of the nat I Iifal resources of the United States an, sald that If this were the issue between g us and the kaiser we have the Ger
 mans outclassed many times. e Let us be candid and fair" sai v MT. Cobb, and let us realize that W must run our industries full blast if " " rare to keep pace. . Denounces I. w. w. Faction 5 w hen this war was declared ther . were men who asserted themselves f De unwilling to carry a gun in defens 7 or the nation if any troops were to h : sent to Europe. They said that the :. were wiling to fight if American so /. were invaded but asserted that the Il were not willing to fight if the battle : were to be waged on foreign soil. Tn Gods name if they are not will U Ing 10 fight for the cause of civiliza e tion let them at least man the rail . roads and the coal fields, in order ths | those heroes over there may be sur
 piled with the things they need
 There is no place in this countr for the 1. w. W. There is no place fC s people of the type of, and followers , e the creed of Emma Goldman, who ca q for liberty and freedom for themselve e and are willing to take these privilege
 to the exclusion of the same rights ft
 others.
 T did not come here to frighten Il
 good people of Arizona Neither do
 consider it the right of any oth, > speaker to come here and encouras J the people of this state in too great
 measure.
