NEGROES ARE TRES POLITE

The following letter from negro lieutenant of
the famous negro regiment of selectves, known
the "Buffaloes,' appears in Association Men:
The department of regiment in France has

every confidence that we will hold our own against

The brewing industry is all but extinct.
Within month beer will cease to be brewed in this
country. There is probability that that industry
will ever be revived. What the brewers have done in

MORE THAN 700 NOW
ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL
BY CORRESPONDENCE

With the second week of the exist
ence of tire Phoenix Union Correspon-
dence High School well under way, en-
rollment is still going on. More than
100 new students have enrolled, max
ing approximately total of TOO to
date. This increase has thrown a lot
more work on the shoulders of both
teachers and office force at the high
school. The enrolment has far ex-
ceeded the expectations of Acting
Principal D. f. Jantzen.
Professor JantZen asks the parents
and students to be lenient with the
faulty work until the work gets well
started. Many Of the students have
received incorrect or incomplete as
| signments Others have not received
any at ALL This discrepancy is due to
many causes, among them being the
/ increased enrolment, which has
caused lot of assimilating and sys-
tematiZing in the office of the high
| school.
AS all the work must be organized
and systematized, the first week did
not run as smoothly as will the second
week and even after the second and
third weeks the machine will begin to
work more perfectly as the students
and faculty get used to the change.
Everything has now been worked
out under a system, and this coming
week is expected to be more efficient.
Professor Jantzen, nevertheless, urges
the students to make the most of this
first week of work without undue con-
sultation with the office.
Those who failed to receive copies
of the first weeks assignment should
continue with the second and arrange
with the teachers later to make up
the work at some future date.
Next Monday the second delivery of
assignments will be made, and at the
same time the completed work done on
the first weeks assignments will be
collected. Professor Jantzen states
that the envelopes containing the COM
pleted first weeks work must be
placed in a conspicuous place some
where on the front porch or steps,
where they may be readily seen and
collected
Under no conditions will the collec-
tors go inside after the envelopes, nor
will they even knock or apply at the
door, This is a protection for the
collector. The collector will pass on
to the next house if the return en-
velope Is not found
Students who have been i'll are asked
to guard as much as possible against
communicating their return papers
They are asked to air them before
placing them in place where the col
lector will get them. 1t is also helpful
Professor Jantzen said if students will
see to it that placards are placed or
their doors if influenza is in the house
Al papers will be thoroughly fumi-
gated in formaldehyde fumigator be-
fore being turned over to the teachers

MONEYS Advised Friends

1t has probably not occurred to the Salt Lake
union and other unions which threaten to strike in
of the execution OF Tom Mooney that they are
making it more difficult for Governor Stephens to
act in his behalf if he should be inclined to do So
The governor is doubt strong man and will do
think, what ought to be done in this case he
believes Mooney should have trial he will prob
ably pardon him and let him go to trial on one OF
the other murder charges against him. If he believes
Mooney has already had fair trial he will let him
go to the gallows. The first thing is that justice
should be and the next that the laws should
be sustained.
II the governor were a weak man, it is conceiv-
able that this agitation in behalf of Mooney these
threats that have been made might work to Moneys
great disadvantage The governor might be more
fearful OF being regarded having been intimdated
by the threats than he would be of having been
just to Mooney, and would let him die on the scat
fold TO prove that he himself has been uninfluenced
hy attempted intimidation.
This effect upon judges has been noted by law

CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT
Ex7Judge speneers' Claim of Wilson
Support In Democratic coun-
ties 10 Exploded.

Ex-Judge Spencer is conducting a
campaign of Misrepresentation and de-
ceit. The platform on which he is
running, and which he wrote himself,
refused to endorse President Wilson.
Yet. when he goes into Democratic
counties he attempts to deceive the
voters into believing that he will sup
port President Wilson if elected.
In the event of that catastrophe he
knows he would do nothing of the kind
that he would go into the Repub-
lican caucus and vote for Boise Pen
rose OF Pennsylvania as chairman of
the Finance Committee and Reed
Smoot of Utah as chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee and do every
thing In his power to take the control
of the war oft of the hands of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Another illustration of his hypocrit.
icai campaign is his claim that he is
not saying anything about his oppo-
nent, but he takes along his man Fri
day to do his mud-slinging for him.
Spencer has caused to be posted all
over ST, Louis placards saying ".Good-
Bye, joel" This is very contempt
BILE campaign method, but it is an IL
lustration OF Speneer's methods. An
other placard Spencer has posted up
says: Patriotism demands that you
vote for Spencer" In other words, to
vote for anyone else than Spencer
would be unpatriotic, according to his
little mind That would mean that
Spencer thinks President Wilson is
not patriotic. as President Wilson GER
tainly does not want Spencer.

FOLK FOR SENATOR

able and Satisfactory.

The nomination Of Joseph w. Folk
by the Democrats of Missouri for
United States Senator is gratifying to
real Democrats and lovers Of good
government everywhere.
His record as Circuit Attorney Of
st. Louis. where he exposed and pros
ecuted corruption in official life, made
him a national figure.
AS Governor of Missouri he put Mis-
souri, in the front rank Of the pro-
gressive states by securing the enact
ment of the initiative and referendum,
statewide primary laws, child labor
laws, public service corporation laws,
by taking the police of the large cit
les out of politics, by suppressing
gambling, winerOoms and by en-
forcing the liquor laws in the face
of the determined opposition of the
powerful brewery and liquor inter
ests.
These things made the name of Jo-
seph w. Folk a synonym for good
government. After the election of

Gov. Joseph Wingate Folk should
be elected United States Senator from
Missouri because he is not only big
d Democrat, but small d democrat,
because his democracy is Woodrow
Wilson's kind of democracy, because
he wants this country made safe for
democracy and Democracy made safe
for this country. The unansweIable
argument for Folk is Folks record.
He is right on every question In which
popular rights are menaced by special
privilege. Note the opposition to

freed st. Louis from the chains OF
corruption with which the city had
been bound for many years. For three
years, while doing this work, not an
insurance company would take a dol
lars risk on his life. As Governor of
Missouri he suppressed the infamous
winerooms. he stamped out racetrack
gambling, he enforced the liquor laws
and made the saloons decent. Though
be has not been Governor for 10
years, his spirit still governs and
these laws are still enforced.
When he left the Governorship in
1909 he made lecture tour OF the
country, one of the most successful
lecture tours that any public man
ever made in the history of this coun-
try. He continued to take an active
part In public affairs and in civic mat
ters. making addresses upon occasion.
In 1910 the Democrats of Missouri en-
dorsed him for President, but two
years later he gave way for Champ
Clark, the Speaker of the National
House of Representatives. He cam
paigned the United States for Wood
row Wilson, the nominee that year,
and was one of the principal speakers
for the national Democracy. In 1913
he was appointed by President Will
son solicitor for the Department of
State. There he was in charge of law
matters relating to international af-
fairs and gained an experience that

Spencer bases all of his hopes OF
election upon the colonization of ne
groes in st. Louis by the Republican
machine and upon the hope of recelv.
ing the solid German vote upon the
assumption that the Germans are all

sumption on the part of Spencer is an
insult to all patriotic Germans, who
are loyal to the United States above
Germany.
That this is true does not relieve
Spencer's campaign from the odium of

exposed the financial rottenness of
the railroad systems as then operated.
These were, by far, the greatest ex-
posures Of evil in the railroad busi-
ness ever known In America. The
Interstate Commerce Commission, as
result of these investigations con-
Quoted by Folk, recommended to Con-
gress that the railroads be taken over
by the President and operated by the
government. The railroads were TAX
en- over and the position of chief coun-
sci for the commission was left with
practically nothing to do. When the
people of st. Louis, through the
Chamber of Commerce, called upon
him to take up the fight to free st.
Louis and Missouri from the chains
OF unjust rate discrimination and for
the abolition of the arbitrary, he de-
cided to undertake the work, especial
ly In view Of the fact that he could in
addition to that work be OF service in
making patriotic speeches. So he
came and before Senator Stone died
he had made more than 100 speeches
for the Liberty Loan, the Red Cross,
the Y. NJ. G. A., the War Savings
Stamps and for other patriotic pur-
poses.
The death Of Senator Stone created
an unexpected situation and the de-
mand came from all over the state
that he permit the use Of his name as
successor to Senator Stone. This de-
mand became so strong in the form of
letters, kilograms and personal visits
as to be irresistible. When he found
that he could complete the work of
giving to the people of st. Louis and
Missouri justice and unqualified
rights better In the United States Sen
ate than in private life and that in ad-
dition he could aid the President in
bringing the war to a speedy and
worthy close, as well as aiding in solv-
ing transportation problems, he con-
sented that his name be used.

President Wilson, Joseph w. Folk was
made solicitor for the Department OF
State. He there became familiar with
those great principles of international
law, the knowledge of which will en-
able him to render services in the
Senate in this great international
crisis.
For four years he was chief counsel
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and is regarded as one of the
leading experts in America on trans
portation questions. In the Senate he
will, OF course, be a member Of the
Interstate Commerce Committee and
will be of tremendous assistance in
solving those transportation questions
which will be so pressing for solution
during the war and after the war is
ended.
No matter how good a man the
Republican opponent Of Gov. Folk
may be, there should be no hesitancy
on the part of the patriotic citizens Of
Missouri of all parties in casting their
votes for Joseph w. Folk. thus declsr-
ing that they favor good government,
the elimination of graft, the enforce
ment of the laws and the upholding OF
