AN EARLY PREDICTION

Like Mother Shipton's prophecy, a New York woman predicted last spring that the war would end on Nov II, or so we are lead to believe by a note on the editors desk. To predict is easy. At least ten or fifteen mil lions of people have made predictions of the end of the war in prose and verse and surely some one of this vast number ought to guess the exact day and hour. It would be like whole community guessing the number of beans in the bottle. But as yet we have heard no one predict the fate that is to befall William, the beast who brought on the war. It would really be easy to predict bad Bills fate were he to fall into the hands of the outraged Belgians or Frenchmen And no matter what punishment they might mete out to him and his dastard ly cohorts it would be far from what he ought to get.

POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF NEXT STATE LEGISLATURE
 DECIDED BY LAST ELECTION

The Fourth state legislature will consist in the senate of fourteen dem- ocrats and five republicans. In the house: there will be eight republicans. and twenty-seven democrats. A more interesting classification as we'll as a more vital one, is that of conservatives and radicals. How the senate will be aligned in that respect can be pretty we'll determined and it is said that it will consist of fourteen conservatives and five radicals.
 The line in the house is not quite so clear but from what can be learned that branch will contain at least eight cen conservatives. The following is a list by counties. Members of either house who have served in a previous session of that house will be indicated by Mem bers of either house who have served in the other house will be designated by**.

OF INFLUENZA
 STILL TAKING TOLL

This week the influenza epidemic in Kingman and vicinity is still taking its toll of lives, although the greater number of those reported to be i'll are of mild nature At the hospital there have been three deaths, Mrs. c. H. Smith, of Stockton Hill; John Nor gaard, of Stockton Hill, and c. D. Fleming, of Pueblo, Colorado
 MT. Fleming, who came to Kingman last week, was taken down with in fluenza, which developed into pneu- monia He had made the trip with his wife, three children and brother and wife in an automobile. The brother is at the hospital and the wife is reported to be ill at the Lpdust lodging house. Mrs. c. D. Fleming Ileaves with her husbands body this evening for the old home in Pueblo. Deceased leaves a wife, three chil- dren, brother and father and mother to mourn his demise. He was former ly in the employment of the Santa Fe railroad as machinist.
 John Norgaard was a miner at Stockton Hill, where he contracted the influenza and was brought to King man for treatment. He was in no condition to combat the disease and although receiving the best treatment he failed rapidly until death came. | There are Al patients at the hospit- al, but all are getting along nicely. Some difficulty has been encountered in getting nurses, but people are do- ing all possible to pull the patients through. Women are offering thei, services as cooks, dishwashers and ir all other capacities and men are serv. Ing as watchers and nurses wherever needed.
 It is reported that there are about 150 cases in and around the town many having been brought in from other localities to get the benefit o1 nurse and doctors care.

THE ARMISTICE SIGNED
 AND KAISER ADVOCATES
'"When the devil was sick, -~, The devil saint would be. When the devil was we'll The devil a saint was he."

And the devil was sick, not of the blood and carnage, the debauching of women or the murder of old men and babes, but with the fear that comes to the cowardly murderer when his crime is discovered and he is brought to book for his crimes. Bill, who in stituted one of the greatest wars in the worlds history and who caused the debauchery and death of more in- nocents than all the bloody butchers of ancient times, fearing for his own precious pelt and those of his six mongrel sons, took the towards choice and sued for peace. No brave man will strike fallen foe, but if ever man was justified in casting the rule to the winds the people of England, France and Belgium would be justified in continuing the fight until the last Hun was slaughtered, whether he be on his knees begging for mercy or hid ing behind the skirts of his women folk.
 The terms of the armistice, which foreshadows peace, are long and may be drastic, but not tne iota of the de- mands should be 'rescinded. Every drop of blood shed on the sacred soils of France and Belgium should be wip- ed out by the sweat of the ravaging Hun. And every man jack of them who are responsible for all the saw agery imposed on these ravaged coun- tries should be handed over to them and made to pay with their blood for the deeds. No form of government that may be established in Germany can ever have the countenance of the world. Their word is. not good to any peoples or any nation, and therefore they should be forever kept without the door, forbidden to enter any mart or any port in the world. Closed in by the people who eXecrate them they should forever remain incommunicado.
 They may pay in dollars for the de- struction they have wrought, but they can never pay in this world or the next for the foul deed they have done to the womenhood of France and Bel gium. ''.
 We shall now see if they live up to any part of the terms of the armistice they have signed. It will be on the 25th day of November that they are to be clear of all invaded territory, have turned over all vessels, both naval and merchant. By camouflage move ment all vessels have been seized by the German sailors and now the cry will be that it is impossible for the army to turn over that which they have no control over. But it won't go with Foch. He will begin the bat tie anew to enforce his demands, and if it comes to this issue there will be no stopping before Berlin is reached. It will be remembered by our elder people that one of the articles of peace the Germans impressed upon France in 1870 was that new government be established in that country within ninety days and that the victorious army march through Paris. There will be no peace between the allies and Germany until a stable govern ment is established and our armies should march through the streets of | Berlin

, PERSISTENT RUMOR
DENIED By LEVER.
No Truth in Statement That He
Would Not Become Candidate

Washington, MARI 29.-Rumors
which were current here today that
Representative Lever would tomorrow
issue a statement to the Democratic
voters of South Carolina to the eTecs
that he would not become a candidate
for the United States senate this
year were emphatically denied today
by him.
These rumors have been going the
rounds here with what appeared to
be more or less reliability for the last
week, but today they were started
again and it was noised around the
capitol that Mr.. Lever would not ruE.
When he was asked for a statement
regarding the matter he replied as
follows:
"You may say for me that I am here
attending to my duties. The ruraors
that | will issue a statement tomor-
row and announce that I will not De
a candidate for the senate are Wlth1'
out the least foundation and are fab
rications pure and simple. There Is
absolutely nothing to them"
What further announcements he
would make bearing On the situation
