Bisbee launched non partisan cam paign for city government long weeks ago. Now comes the league for national unity and appeals to both old parties in general to elect only loyal and "war-till-victory" men to office the country over, regardless and indifferent of party affiliations. The non partisan ticket is the loyal ticket this year of our Lord, 1918 Elihu Root, one of the really great men of this nation, Republican, who buries his party prefer ence at a time when the Democrats are in power, joins in this appeal for non parti
 san and loyal effort to win the war first and then consider all else afterwards when he signed the appeal and wrote to friend
 ''I do not believe there Is a single con gressional district which has not a staunch loyal majority, but 1 understand that there are probably from 20 to 30 districts in which there are enough pro-German and pacifist and extreme socialist votes to make it possible for disloyal candidate to be re- turned by plurarity, if the loyal vote is devided pretty evenly between the Repub- Gcan and Democratic parties. Such men would do infinite harm to our country in congress; their election would bring aid and comfort to the enemy would dishearten all loyal citizens and would be discreditable to both political parties. So, friends, when you support and vote for the non partisan city ticket in Bisbee you are in line with the efforts of all true men the country over.

community to do is to face the situation in a calm, sensible, loyal and confident man ner One great, compelling and all ab- sorbing and vital duty confronts all of us at this time, and that is to do our level best in all things to help win the war. Our enc mics, the l. w. w., upon whose account some of our most representative citizens have been brought to answer to the law, are doing everything possible to hamper the government and hinder it and harass it in the prosecution of the war. But Sheriff Wheeler, who led the drive, is now serving his country in the army, sacrificing $5 900 job to do SO, and this community, which fol- lowed him SO loyally and so true that mem orable day, with record for the Liberty Loan and Red Cross and other war works, that shines like silver gleam in the sun light, will continue to strain every effort to carry the war to victorious conclusion and oppose enemies at home and abroad to that end that only real man may face and contemplate with a clear conscience and the pride of an American in his soul.

THEY WANT THE MOON

Every time congressional committee digs into the governmental war program it finds something rotten there. The latest expose is the sluggard progress of the ord nance department Our manufacture of light artillery, namely the three inch field guns, is dragging in most lamentable fashion. The output Is practically nill And the heavy artillery output IS in worse shape, if such thing were possible. It is said that ordnance experts were trying to improve the French seventy-five. Shades of love and his thunderbolts! what spec tacle. The French seventy-five is the acme of all weapons of war It is the marvel of the age and terror of all things German. Yet our ordnance sharps, who have never seen the smoke of battlefield. would sit in their offices and draw plans at their desks which would make the seventy-five seem like blunderbuss.
 It is past comprehension and belief. Yet this is the cause advanced for the lack of progress in our manufacture of light ar tillery during the past year. It is the Lewis gun scandal over again The long and costly months of delay there were explain ed by the desire to make the Browning gun, a superior weapon, 1t was alleged. The delay in the airplane program was ex- plained by the same desire to attain per lection and surpass the impossible. Ex- pounding theorems at the cost of battles and human lives. Congressional inquiries have been a joke in American public life for thirty years, but when the history of the Great War is written, congressional in- quiries will illumine several splendid and vital pages of that work and have no little credit for the winning of the war.

Current writers on the war have gener- ally agreed in giving to President Wilson the credit for accomplishing the unity of the allied forces under Gen. Foch. It is the great stroke of the war from the allied standpoint. And its real effects will not be manifest, probably, until late in the summer But, as sure as fate, the results of this master plan will show gloriously upon the western front.

\ Proposal Is Made to Delete "The Kaiser

66l1 ESLTE'S WEEKLY pledges it.
 lA self hereafter to refrain from the mention of William II of Prussia as the Kaiser" This announcement is contained in a recent editorial, in which Leslie's explains that constant reference to Wilhelm as the Kaiser gives him a dignity he does not de- serve, as William II is no more the Kaiser to the world at large than is Ferdinand of Bulgaria the Czar." Les lies also asks the cooperation of other publications in doing away with the ti- tie as applied to the. German Emperor.
 While it is the desire of all patriotic Americans to show as little respect to Wilhelm as possible, Leslie's assumes that we put more emphasis than most of us do on the article 'the" in speak ing of the Kaiser. We don't consider him the one and only Kaiser any more than we regard< George of England as the King. As for the derivation of the word from Caesar, that is all lost on the man in the street, anyway.
 A point worth making is that the word ''kaiser" has been made synony- nous with all that is worst in the makeup of Prussian. There is cer- tainly no mark of respect in the way in which we apply the title to the Ger man Emperor. The worst of Rome's Caesars was not in the same class with Wilhelm in spreading woe throughout the world and making millions suf- fer for their infamy. Let him still be- not The Kaiser-but the Kaiser, a ruthless autocrat who will be ana thematized by generations yet un- born.
