The Deserters

The number of who have been classed and listed deserters during the surprisingly large According to news story in this paper there are about 6OOO listed in Arizona alone and that propor tion. it is stated holds throughout the country so that the number of descrers is probably great as the number of men inducted into the service under the seIectivc draft law.
 By deserters meant those who failed to reg scr for the draft those who registered and neglected or refused to respond calls before local boards, those who fled the country as well as those who once iuducted actually deserted the service.
 All these persons have become wanderers on the face of the earth. They will not be forgotten. They will not be able to their habitats There will always be some ready to report their presence There is no peace for them Peace will be to them a condition worse than war for while the war lasted there opportunity for them to make amends by entering the service; to wipe a disgraceful record. That opportunity passed with the signing of the armstice which gave relief to all the soldiers, to all people of the world except the deserters
 Sometime, suppose, some soft headed mushy person. that the war is over will propose general amnesty for the deserters, but it will not in generation, be a very popular proposition will not be well received by the millions of young who service; who saw comrades die on battlefelds in the hospitals; will it be well received by the relatives of those who fell nor will it be well received by any who believes that no man who has deserted can ever be a good American It is better to keep people who are not good citizens out of the country if cannot do that to keep them in jail or Ion the jump to keep themselves of jail
 A sinner the most hardened may sincerely re- pent and become a righteous man if he is given the opportunity to do But the deserter is without opportunity

ON[Y ONE HOUR OLD.
 BUY |S NEW MEMBER
 DEACONESS HOSPITAL

There is nothing like getting a good start in life
 About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, Samuel Ballsun called at the headquarters of the Arizona Deaconess hospital and on meeting Dr. Leitzell said; MT Leitzell, you have a new life member. I have a boy just an hour old and want him to be a life member of the Arizona Deaconess hos pital" He immediately wrote a check. The gift was very gratefully received by the hospital and the officials con graduated the fond parents over the arrival of this fine boy.
 MT and Mrs. Ballsun live at S15 North Central avenue. Their son was born at o'clock and, according to last reports, was doing remarkably well. MT. Ballsun is d merchant at 3l West Washington street.
 The S100000 emergency campaign is making splendid progress. So far as publicity and organization are con- cerned, there has been practically no effort as yet to solicit funds. Only three persons have been spoken to about making pledges, and one of these offered to be one of five to give S, 900 1 each.
 The time has come in the develop l ment of the campaign when larger 1 pledges must be secured, it is stated 1 The intensive feature of the campaign 1 is scheduled to begin on December 26. Dr. Leitzell insists that approximately i S50,000 of the proposed s100,000 should be secured in large pledges of from | $1,000 to S10,000.
 The executive committee is making
 arrangements now for the intensive
 campaign, and will very greatly ap- l preciate more volunteer workers to as
 sist in making the canvass. Dr. Lett
 zell, who is directing the campaign,
 has said that there is more interest
 in this campaign and more unanimity of expression that it must be accom- plished than in any other campaign he
 ever has conducted and feels hopeful 1 of a splendid victory, but insists that
 the time is past for mere expressions
 of good will and that the people must | now support the campaign by offer 1 ings of time and money to help make
 it success. An enterprise of this character, he declares, should receive
 the hearty support of every loyal citi-
 zen, since it is for the good of the pub lie.

The South and Child Labor

Opposition to effective legislation against child labor according the dispatches solely from the democrats in the senate who against the pro- posed tax on the products of child labor We do not suppose the democratic members of the north strongly in opposition to the amendment that is that they have any deep objection it; that what opposition they may have offered has been in aid of their colleagues of the south.
 It was from the south that opposition strenuousy manifested itself against the of three years ago That bill only prohibited from entering into in terstate commerce the products of child labor. The southern senators were solidly against it. Senator Hardwick of Georgia went so far as to defend child labor the ground that ft kept children of mis- chief"
 That the measure unconstitutional prob ably evident to those who proposed it; it only one of those sops which about that time were being thrown out organized labor But the southerners in the senate soldly and strenuously against it that the democratic dropped the bill from it's programme of imperative legislation. But the in- fuence of the administration was brought to bear and the took the bill up again. It then recalled that bill of precisely the same character had been introduced by Senator Beverdge in 1905 and a that time it had been characterized by Woodrow Wilson then president of Princeton university as obviously absurd
 But in the latter case the necessity of enactina more labor legislation" was impressed upon the democrats and the passed the bill on August S. 1915, with twelve votes in opposition. Ten of them were democrats which, by the way is precisely the number which day before yesterday opposed the amendment to the tax bill. The personnel of the op- position changed only by the substitution two senators for others who had died
 At the time of the passage of the child labor bill of 1915, the ten southern senators probably as well aware any other ten well informed in the country that the law could become effective, but they unwilling to commit themselves against the policy of child labor.
 They have not only that reason now to vote against the pending amendment but the additional that it will actually handicap if it not break up child labor in the south.

MUST NOT LOOK 1T
 WOMAN IN HE CASE

Exception to the statement which ap- peared in The Republican yesterday that J. Gomez must not look at a woman during the period of his five years suspended sentence for rape, was taken by Judge Stanford, who asked that a correction be made.

HUERTA NOT TAKEN
 FROM HOME, AS HIS
 WIFE TOLD GOVERNOR

A question of veracity has been raised between Sonora Enriquita Huer- ta of Douglas Arizona. and Governor F. Elias Gales of the state of Sonora regarding an important matter lmmed- lately preceding the execution of the woman's husband, Dr. Enrique Huerta. Last Sunday she teleg1eDhed the of flee of the governor here that four men. who had been haunting her residence in Douglas for some time took her hus- band away about 1 o'clock that morn ing at the point of a pistol. Other in formation which reached the office of the governor from Douglas seemed to confirm the Woman's statement. Col onel Morgan, commanding that mill tary district, also stated that Huerta had been taken across the line and had been kidnapped
 The circumstances were referred to Washington, and Acting Governor Me ! Gillen requested the office of the coun- | ty attorney of COchise to investigate the matter further. From all that could be learned, it appeared that three other MeXicans who had been captured on i the other side of the line had been exc 1 cuted at Agua Prieta and that the eX- | ecuuon was in pursuance of an order issued by Governor Gales in punish ment of the men for robbery and mur- ! der
 The acting governor sent a telegram to Governor Gales requesting such in- formation as he might be possessed of regarding the affair and outlining the reports that had been received here. A reply was received from Governor Gales yesterday. Translated it fol- lows
 Nogales, Arizona, Dec. 19, 1915 R. F. McGillen.
 Acting Governor, Phoenix, Arizona
 Referring to youp- appreciable tele- gram of the 18th, permit me to say to you that the reports which you have received are entirely false. Tranquilan do Silva, Alfonso Leyva and Manuel Huerta, all MeXicans, are the master assasslns of the administrator of the custom house of Agua Prieta, Mir. Cat ufegly. and two of his companions from whom they stole the amount of $780, 0o0 Tranquilino Silva and Alfonso LeyVa were apprehended in Mexican territory at the moment when they came to remove a part of the stolen money which they had hidden and Manuel Huerta was apDrehended to the west Of Agua Prieta. All were executed Tor their horrible crime as outlaws auC highway robbers. l extend to you my best respects as well as to Governor Hunt and you will please express tc nm my best regards and remem. brances.

My nerves were in such a wretched state it was simply impossible for me to get any sleep. Nobody could tel me what the matter was and I felt so down hearted and hopeless that < just gave up and took my bed.
 One day a friend told me about Tanlac and advised me to try it. sent for a bottle and, by the time I had used up half of it my appetite returned and I was soon up and about and able to take up my housework again. I eat anything I want now, my food gives me strength, my blood has cleared up, my rheumatism is gone and suffer no pains, I sleep like a child and feel fresh and fine when I wake up. I believe I have told fully four hundred people in per son about my recovery and if anybody wants to ask me anything else about my experience with Tanlac, they can call me over my phone, Haskell 1S63." Tanlac is sold in Clifton by Clifton Drug Co.,, in Duncan by Elk Drug Store, in Morenci by Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, and in Guthrie by Brown & Beck.

ARIZONA GIVES MOST MEN
 ACCORDING TO POPULATION

ArizOna's leading position in having furnished more men for the army and navy of the United States, according 70 population than any other state in the union, is clearly shown in the na- tional quota sheet of June l, which has been received at the office of the adjutant general.
 This sheet shows that just before the call of May 27, there were in all the United States, 1,232,0S6 men in Class 1. A comparison of the num- Der of men in Class I in each state shows plainly that in a majority of the states the number of men placed in Class 5 is very low, especially when the number placed in that class in Arizona is considered.
 Had other states equaled the rec ord of Arizona in proportion to popu- lation there would now be 5,O00, ,OOo men in the service.
 This report gives Arizona an ex- cess of 5S2 men over our proportion due under the last call,' said the ad- jutant general. The reason for this is because the last call was based on the old estimate of population and the call is .:!aGe on that aet'mate gur these figures are uased cn the new law which bases the call on the num- Der of men placed in Class l."
 The last call, which wes filled on May 27, took on an average a little more than 5O per cent of all men in Class 1 in the United States, accord ing to this quota sheet just received.

 My health had been gradually fail ing for several months" she continu- cd. sI had so litle appetite that just had to force down every mouthful I ate and fell off till weighed hard ly more than one hundred pounds. My blood was bad and was torment ed by boils and eruptioos all over my body and suffered agonies from rheumatism that made my bones ache like they would break in two.
