CHARGE THAT NURSE
 RObBEDH HOUSE: WHERE
 DEATH HAD CALLED

After rendering the kind sympathy and affection that endeared her to the family during the illness and death their little daughter Olga Lentz, Mrs. Ray Struble. the nurse employed by pr. and Mrs. John LentZ, is alleged to have stolen wearing apparel and to have left the home while Mrs. Lentz was under the influence of nerve quieting drug which she administered,
 The nurse was arrested in Miami yesterday, according to wd4d received by the sheriffs office The Miami authorities state that they have identi fled clothing that answers to the des- cription furnished them from the of ficers in this city. Deputy Sheriff Jim Collins left yesterday for the min ing town for Mrs. Struble who will be returned today to answer to the charge of grand larceny
 Mrs. Struble is said to have been un- usually devoted to her small patient while she was ill When the end came it was she who broke the news to the mother and insisted that she rest. She gave her drug, and it was several hours before Mrs. Lentz recovered from its effects, In the meantime, tn" nurse is alleged to have gone through Mrs. Lentz s wardrobe and taken prac- tically everything of value. When this was accomplished she is said to have fumigated the rooms with formalde- hyde which prevented anyone entering the apartment and gave her ample time 1 to escape.

We should bear in mind though that these only training planes and some of the training planes made in the early days of our air craft activities hardly up to snuff We sup pose if the government goes into the business of rying mail through the air, it will equip itself with proper facilities.
 Many of the more reliable fighting and bombing planes turned during the last six months of the war might be diverted this and more like them could be turned
 The statement recently made that certain towns only comparatively straight line east from San Diego would be on the aerial route does not mean that Phoenix would not be aerial route and probably a more important from the northwest and another from the northeast.

WARS AS MILESTONES

Wars arr milestones. Victories set up tablets upon which are inscribed the principles that have been vindcated.
 The Battle at Marston Moor destroyed feudalism, overthrow the doctrine of the divine right of kings gave England elective parliament
 The French revolution destroyed French autoc- racy and gave the people the right of selfdetermna tion.
 The of 1776 was the last civil war of Great Britain-a of a good section of the English peo- pie against the bad section of Great Britain which had enthroned a crazy German king-George the Third
 The of 1861 established sure foundations the republic, the last best hope of and vindi- cated industrial democracy without regard to color.
 The war of 1914 has settled certain things for all time. War shall be more! Hereafter disputes be- tween shall be settled by international su- preme court Militarism shall be more-never again shall peoples be wasted in piling up munitions the in the furrow carry a sol died upon his back. International treaties hereafter shall be sacred! Alas for the nation that counts it's written pledge scrap of paper and defies inter national law. The small races and peoples are free! No big bully nation like Germany ever again trampe upon Belgium, King Ahab trampleG on Naboth, and seized his purple vineyard. Terrorism and frightfuness henceforth outlawed That clay god called The State" that Germany made unto her self and has long been worshipping, is idol that has fallen-From a sermon by the Rev.

 dear old France? Have you thought upon the need, Which was caused from German greed, 'Mongst the Russian people hoping

 most dear?
 What dies this, sir, mean to you. How much more have I to do? Duty in the human conscience must

HesrstIsm

The disclosures being made regarding MT. Hearsts activities before and immediately after declared a state of with Germany, may not be sufficient convict him of pro-Germanism. Nothing therein has any his attitude than the ed torias of his papers had already done. He may not have been inspired by great love for Germany. It may have been only hatred of Great Britain that led him into conspiracy to obstruct his country. But were already of the obstruction.
 Something worse in a newspaperman, though has been uncovered by the telegrams and messages from and NIr. Hearst, copies of which the government had somehow procured-an obliquity of Journalistic methods which should destroy the shred of public confidence in the Hearst papers
 It was the privilege of MT. Hearst, and it was a privilege exercised by many newspapers and persons undoubed loyalty to protest against the giving of such great powers the president congress gave: it also his privilege to complain of the sary drastic provisions of the espionage act But no excuse can be offered for the attempt to undermine the influence of the president after committed to war. to order day editorial denouncing the conforrng of these great powers upon him, to hint that the president will make bad of them and the next to order an editorial commenting congress for extending these and to speak highly of Wilson; say he is good president and undoubtedly means 10 use power for a good purpose
 Then there the scheme to get before the Hearst readers, the views Of the which he was afraid openly to express They were to be put into the mouths of other persons fake interviews That s get some to stand for interviews as Hale used to do." This to discredit the disclosure by the government of the Zimmerman note We may con- cede that Mir. Hearst supposed that note to be a forgery plant But that could not have been more than supposition inability believe that Zimmer- mann could have been foolish Certainly it was not right for MT Hearst mislead readers into accepting what could have been only bare supposi- tion.
 After this no reader of Hearst paper can have an abiding conviction that any Hearst policy an honest one Nor can any reader feel that the he reads is not twisted to confornn to twisted views of the owner of the Hearst papers. If as we have said MT Hearst may not have convicted of pro- Gcrmanism the crime of Hearstism has already been proved against him.

The Control of Business

The worthlessness and later the worse than worth iessness of antitrust laws have been amply denon- strated. The trust combination was a natural re- to the needs of a growing nation That it was advantageous to ,those participating in it. was true otherwise they would not have gone or remained in it. But the trust advantageous to the public except where it became'a monopoly in the hands of consciencelss men,
 The first great trust the Standard Oil com pany During several years of it's formation the prices of it's products decreased grew After each large competitor was taken in the price of oil went down.
 The same thing notably true of the National Biscuit company. Unlike the Standard Oil company which was growth of years the National Biscuit company controlling the products of many hundreds of lately independent factories was the work of day t was expected that there would be a sharp increase Of the prices of it's for was the sole source of supply. On the contrary within a month there was sharp decrease And there might have been much sharper for the expense of making and selling biscuits and other products was reduced by half. In town which had two factories and sent out 4S salesmen in dozen states crossing and ecrossing the paths of another selling from that town reduced to less than a dozen men. Each was assigned certain territory which invaded by other cracker salesman" One of the two factories closed and the other enlarged. Half the overhead expense was cut off. People in- stead of paying only for biscuits had been paying a wasteful competition.
 There naturally wicked trusts which increased prices because they could There were com binaons for the raising of rates and prices and it was to check their activities that had laws against restraint of trade" Criminal trusts almost uni formly found ways to evade the laws and the bene- ficial trusts found themselves handicapped Some years before the war it discovered that the rem plV ggqi that it's chief effect stifling of legitimate and beneficial business.
 We shall almost certainly not a mere repeal of the antitrust laws leaving business it's own de- vices but it will be left to flourish egtmately but under a strict government control to be exercised when necessary.
