School in its rules regarding the flag was but following the form CT practice that obtained when Doctor Taylor was it's president.
 It is assigned as a further cause for Doctor Blome's dismissal that he is pro-German. We are Amer jeans, are with him constantly and know him best, and we do not believe it. We call for proof of his disloyalty. We appeal to those who believe in fair play. Is there in free America no jus tice for American citizens of Ger man birth who contribute with their means and might and loyal ty send their sons to fight against their own race.
 We feel sure from our own knowledge of school affairs and conditions in Flagstaff that local difficulties and matters of politics, and not a desire for the advance ment of the school, have led to Doctor Blome's dismissal, and we ask the citizens of Arizona. are you going to allow a precedent to be set for the future by permit ting a most eminent educator to be dismissed without a full and fair public hearing from your school, in which he has been a splendid success, with no effort by you to correct this wrong? We ask you to correct it, that the education ot GOT children and the expenditure of public money be no sacrificed.

From the Republican, Mt. Gili- ad, Ohio: The editor had an in teresting experience some time ago, when a young gentleman came to this office and asked for a copy of the Morrow County Re- publican. He scrutinized 1t care fully when a cody was handed him, and then said: ''Now I know!" What is it you are look ing for" we inquired. My wife sent me after a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. and 1 forgot the name. 1 went to sev- eral stores and the clerks named over everything in the line on the shelf except 'Chamberlain's.' I'll try again, and I'll never go home without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" The Republican would suggest to the proprietors of stores, that they post their clerks, and never let substitute. Gus toners lose faith in stores where substituting is permitted, to say nothing of the injustice to makers of good goods and the disappoint- ment of customers. Adv.

German KuItur Not New Thing

Every village they have passed through has been the victim of what is only organized pillage. Every city has been practically sacked, ransacked on system; its citizens plundered, it's civil off, cials terrorized, imprisoned, out ragged or killed. The civil popu- lations have been, contrary to the usage of modern warfare, forced to serve the invading armies, bru- tally put to death, reduced to wholesale starvation, and desola- tion. Vast tracks of the richest and most industrious districts of Europe have been deliberately stripped and plunged into famine, solely in order that the invaders might make war cheaply. Irreg- ular troops, contrary to all prac- tice of war, have been systemati- cally murdered, and civil popula- tions indiscriminately massacred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingenious terrorism has been directed against civilians, as horrible as anythingin the history of civil or religious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but 20, 30, 40 times, bombarded and burnt, and the women and children in them wontonly slaughtered, with the sole object of inflicting suffering. All this has been done not in li- cense or passion, but by the cal culating ferocity of scientific sol diers."
 The above was not written, though it might have been, yes- terday. last week, last month, or last year. It appeared in the English Fortnight Review Feb ruary, 1871, shortly before the surrender of Paris. Frederick Harrison, the writer is still alive. Its statements were true then, are true now. Julius Ceasar in his Commentaries narates events which show that even before the time of Christ the Germans de- monstrated the possession of all the rudiments of their modern ''kultur. :" It is no new thing; and hundreds of thousands of men will have died in vain in this war if this sinister thing is not abso- lutely and utterly exterminated forever by the forces of civiliza- tion arrayed against it.

MARCH 28, 1918.

FLAGSTAFF, MAR. 27-We, the faculty of the Northern Ari- zona Normal School, (President Blome and his discharged assist ants not participating), feeling that a grave injustice has been done to our faculty, to our school, and to our state in the removal of. our president, DoctorR. H. Blome and his two assistants, and that proper respect for the citizens of the state entities them to know, and requires us to explain, the causes that have led to the pres ent conditions in the school, do set forth that during the nine years Doctor Blome has been pres ident of this Normal School It has grown from an in itu ion of less than fifty students to one of three hundred, despite the fact that most of our boys are away in the service of our country; that with the faculty cooperating for off, cient work, with not dissatified studentin the entire student body, with all the students learning ra- padily, with the demand for teachers exceeding our supply of graduates, with thirteen of Ari- zon as counties, twenty-four states of the Union and three foreign countries represented in the student body, with ninety per cent of the people of Northern Arizona satisfied with the gener- al conduct of the school, with the students intensely loyal to their school, their several counties, their states, and their country. with those who know recognizing and admitting that we had one of the very best schools in the South west, and with unanimous recog- hilton that it was largely Doctor Blome who had drawn this cos mopolitan body of students to- gether and obtained this splendid result, yet with all these attain ments to his credit he has been discharged without a hearing, al- though citizens of Northern Ari- zona requested a hearing before such an action was taken and so eminent as an educator dismissed.
 We know Doctor Blome to be one of the best scholars and one of the most successful educators Tn the Southwest, as is evidenced by the many honors he has re- ceiVed from schools and educa- tional organizations. He is one of the strongest school executives, one of the most enthusiastic teachers and popular educational leaders, one of the most just pres idents to teachers and students, and one of the most loyal Ameri- cans with whom we have ever been associated. His loyalty is evidenced by the fact that he will lingly and gladly offered and is sending both his sons to fight in defense of his adopted country.
 ''The flag incident" assigned by the Normal School Board as a cause for bis dismissal happened when most of us were here and has been ridiculously overdrawn and misstated. We have proof that other state institutions did not display the flag mere than this one did, yet no attention was

body knew just what met invest
ment" meant, but they knew that it
gave bigger price to the power
company, including the unearned in
crease in value of the land. They de-
clared that unless met investment"
stayed in the bill the timid capitalists
OF the country would not invest in
Waterpower enterprises. They voted
down Chairman Sims and the urgent
recommendation of the president by a
vote of II to 96. Representative Sin
mott of Oregon was one of the chief
opponents of the "fair-value" clause.
and he quoted at length from the lib
eral press to show that a mysterious
propaganda had been started to
spread the impression that the pow
er companies were going to grab
valuable power sites and keep them.
He said that President Wilson had
been deceived by these propaganda
lists.
Representative Macarthur of Ore
gon went farther. He denounced
every amendment and clause that
could in any way tend to bring about
public ownership of waterpower
plants. He had so many sympathiz-
ers in his pro-trust attitude that the
Sims amendment, which would have
automatically brought all the power
plants under government ownership
through a gradual amortization of
their cost over period of 35 years,
was defeated.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
COAL AND RESOURCES

Congressman Kelly of Pennsyl-
vania recently introduced a bill in
Congress providing for the public
ownership of coal, oil and mineral,
timber and water resources. He
wants the Government to take owe,
these natural resources and admin
lister" them so as to conserve the
supply, control the distribution and
establish. reasonable prices.
In a hearin gon the bill, Mr.. Kelly
argued that it is absolutely impos-
sible, as has been proven by each and
every nation now engaged in the
war, to fix a reasonable price where
the natural resources are in the con-
troll of private firm and individuals.
The anthracite coal industry, he de-
clared, was the most iron bound
monopoly in the history of the world.
The last reports of the Federal
Trades Commission and the United
States Geological Survey show that
practically all of the anthracite coal
in America is contained in a small
tract of 500 square miles and that in
the final analysis that tract is abso-
lutely in the control of one man.
The anthracite coal is held by three
or four railroad companies and they
fix the prices to suit themselves.
They not only take the profit out Of
digging coal, but take profit out of
transporting it. and they take pro-
fit out of selling it, because the re-
tail agencies are in their hands and
no man, under their system, can tell
what it costs to dig it, what it costs
to transport it, what it costs to sell
it. They put the price on what the
traffic will bear and the consumer is
paying the bill.
Thus the cost trust forced the price
up to $1,000 ton last winter. And
when the Fuel Administration under
took to "fx" the price at what they
considered a reasonable" price the
coal operators stopped production as
their own resolutions show. The price
was not high enough to suit them
they were not making as much profit
as they would like out of the people.
eve have introduced this meas
ure," said Mr.. Kelly, providing that
the Government shall take over these
natural resources and operate them
and sell the product to the people al
cost as the only possible solution. We
must come to it. I know of no way
of getting reasonable prices except
through Government ownership and
operation"

Baer Bill Principle Revived

Senator Gore is now asking the
senate to provide for a loan of $780,
100000 from the treasury, either
through the war finance corporation
or through the banks, to enable
stockmen and wheat growers in the
drouth areas of the West to carry
their losses over until next season.
The testimony of government experts
shows that two-thirds of the nations
wheat crop is subject to possible
drouth or other destructive forces of
nature. The senator believes that
congress will finally recognize the
principle set forth in the Baer bill
last winter, and now offered by him
self in the senate, that the govern
ment, in time of war, must stand
back of the farmers who are struck
by drouth, just as it is standing be-
hind hundreds of manufacturing cor
porations-in order that the men in
France shall not lac, for either food
or ammunition.
