MANY COURTESIEs
EXTENDED To RECRUITS

Many social events were rendered
the young men from Fairbanks. who
arrived in CordoVa on yesterdays
train, prior to their departure from
that town to enlist in the service of
Uncle Sam, as the following clipping
from the Alaska Citizen atests:
Masonic Temple was the scene
of much gaiety last night, the occa.
sion being the farewell dance given
in honor of George Herring, Howard
Logan, Cecil Gibson and Gilbert FL
lis, who will leave Monday morning
for the Outside to enlist in the service
of their country.
Notwithstanding the gay feeling.
there was an atmosphere of sorrow,
for those who are leaving have many
friends in Fairbanks, and as the clos
ing hour of the dance drew night
each one present realized that before
long their guests would be bound for
somewhere"
The boys have been the recipients
of many kindnesses since they de-
clared their intention of enIisting.
Among those entertaining the boys at
dinner parties the past few days we're

There is man in the legis-
Iature from Yuma county by the
name Of EDDY, who has intro
duced a bill to broaden out the
statute relating to contempt so
newspaper men can be prose-
cuted for taking a slant at the
members while in discharge of
their duties. What has Mr.. Eddy
been doing. A man with a clear
conscience as to his probity and
integrity can never be injured by
any newspaper; it is the fellow
with yellow streak who pre-
tends to be honest who is always
rushing into court with a suit to
clear his reputation.

The evidence being introduced
in the trial of the l. w. WIS in
Chicago should convince any
fair-minded man there is not one
loyal drop of blood in any men,
ber of that organization, and any
one wasting sympathy on the
bunch of ''reds' is little less
than a pro-German in sentiment.
The government should brand
the organization as traitors and
order it disbanded with drastic
penalties for failure to comply.
The officers who have been di-
recting the criminal activities of
the "reds" should be executed
or imprisoned for life. It is high
time the government was i'm
pressing the fact into the minds
of this scum of creation that
there is a distinct difference be-
tween liberty and license.

1t is a strange thing that edit
ors, even of metropolitan news
papers cannot take a dispassion-
ate view of a situation without
trying to turn it to some political
advantage. The walkout of ma
chinists and boiler makers on the
Rock Island railroad is viewed as
a pro-German move, and even
Director General McAdoo has
given expression to the senti-
ment that the move shows a
lack of patriotism. Machinists
and boiler makers for railroad
companies have been drawing
about SOC or 55c an hour for
several years, and when Nc
Adoo's wage commission was
arranging a new wage schedule
increasing the wage of railroad
employees to meet the additional
cost of living, the machinist and
boiler maker was given no in
crease whatever. This class of
labor on railroads is just as es-
sential as the engine and train
men. and they are entitled to
just as good a wage. The gov
ernment is paying machinists and
boiler makers 75c and 9Oc an
hour at the ship building yards,
and if they are worth that to the
government in boat construction
they are certainly worth that
amount in the railroad work. 1t
is to be regretted that any class
of workmen feel called upon tC
walk out in these times, but they
can hardly be blamed for voicing
their protest at the injustice OF
their treatment, and certainly il
is neither honest nor fair tt
charge them with disloyalty. II
there was less politics in the
governmental management Of
railroads, and more business
ability there would be a greater
speeding up of transportation.

One bill of merit that has been
introduced in the legislature pro-
vides for the establishment of
schools to teach the English
language to foreigners and illit-
crates. Foreigners who come to
this country who are not loyal
enough to learn to talk our
language after they have resided
here five years should be de-
ported to their native land. Such
an one will never make a decent
law-abiding citizen, and after
this war is over there will be no
room in America except for lib
erty-loving people.

There is some excuse for

There is some excuse for Sid
Osborn running for governor on
the platform that he is 100 per
cent American. Since the day
he left school he has been earn
ing his living holding down state
jobs, and if a perpetual Office
holder is not loyal to the hand
that feeds him he would be an
migrate. We are for Sid. We
always admire the fellow who
starts through life with single
ness of purpose whatever it is.
In Sid's case he never expects to
work at honest toll for a living,
but expects to keep his name on
the state payroll.

Quite a number of years ago
the editor had the habit of being
an early riser, and one day when
it was questioned he brought in
an old farmer to prove the con-
tention. The old farmer replied
promptly, 20 yes, he get up
early every morning, but that is
all he does" We are reminded
of this when we read Sid Os-
born's copyrighted platform that
he is 100 per cent American. He
may be all that if he can prove it.
but that is his only qualification
for the office of governor.
The Winslow mail., 1918-06-07

No man ever filled two columns
of a newspaper in an effort to
prove he is not a horsethief un-
less there has been a question
raised as to his innocence. Why
should a candidate write at
length his protestations of 10y
atty to the government unless he
has a sneaking feeling that there
might be a question about it in
the minds of the public.
The Winslow mail., 1918-06-07

"Uncle Billy" Mouer does not
find it necessary to fill two COL
umns of a newspaper with an
argument to prove he is 100 per
cent American. He sets forth
the things he stands for in the
affairs of state, and people know
when they read his platform that
he is a true American. A real
patriotic American does not have
to shout his loyalty from the
housetops. 1t speaks for itself.

The Bisbee incident has about
run itself out as political issue.
After all the hullabaloo and noise
the whole matter settles down
to simply a mob of outraged citi-
zens rising up in their wrath and
ridding the community of gang
of undesirable citizens. Mob
law under any circumstances is
always a violation of the statutes,
and is only justified when the
action of the courts is too slow.
A mob of citizens hung a brute
in Maricopa county few months
ago which was contrary to law,
and on the same basis of the
Bisbee incident the actors should
be indicted and prosecuted. The
Bisbee affair differs because a lot
of partisan politics was injected
into it by the Gov. Hunt wing of
democracy which is build e d
largely on sentimental Grimm
ology, which believes law violat-
ors should be the pampered pets
of society. The Bisbee deporta-
tion was not an assault on or
ganized labor in any way, as
there were several thousand
miners in the Bisbee camp at
that time, and only 100 of the
agitators, disturbers and loafers
were shipped out of the COM
munity, which the thrifty, in
dustrious miners fully approved.
The labor agitator or disturber is
always CRATER, who is willing
to sell out labor to the employer
any time when the financial con-
sideration is sufficient. That is
the way he makes his living.
His following is the vicious Grim
inal element. That is the reason
there are HOO men missing in
Bisbee, and the rest of the people
there seem to be satisfied with
existing conditions.

The legislature has refused to
pass tho bill appropriating sum
of money to pay Thos. Campbell
for the time he served as Gov
ernor of the state pending the
final decision of the supreme
court in the contest. The legis-
lature has taken the right view
of the matter, as it is unfair to
the taxpayers to use. funds to
pay two salaries covering the
srme time. The ruling of every
state supreme court, in similar
cases, except in Arizona, is that
the de facto official is entitled to
the salary of the office during
the time he is discharging the
duties under color of title to the
office, and the salary should not
have been paid to Gov. Hunt.
He did not perform the service
and should not have received the
compensation. The supreme court
decided Gov. Campbell was en-
titled to the office of governor
under the official canvass of the
returns from the election, and
on this ruling he was compelled
to assume the office and discharge
the duties. If he had to assume
the duties under the order Of the
court Mr.. Campbell was certainly
entitled to the salary while thus
employed. But in Arizona our
laws are always interpreted to
keep the state safe fordemocracy.

It is said the extra session Of
the legislature will adjourn this

say they will not again be called

or. The democratic legislators
do not seem to be in harmony

many issues.

KID VESTS BEST
FOR TRENCH WARFARE
Old Gloves Are Asked for as Do
nation by Committee of
Overseas Club

At a meeting of the overseas committee
Of the Emergency Aid. which was held last
week. a special appeal was made for the
kid vest committee by Mrs Louis Dannen'
baum, who is the chairman. This commit
tee Is planning TO enlarge the scope OF Its
work so that one of these kid vests may
become a part of every enlisted mans outfit
At present the price is somewhat above the
average purse. but with larger quantities OF
old gloves and greater facilities for work the
committee hopes to lower this considerably.
The Glove Waistcoat Society Of England
which has been in existence since the begin
ming of the war, has distributed more than
thirty thousand OF these vests. But kid is
now being used in the munition factories over
there, and the society has been unable to
continue its splendid work. Kid vests last
so much longer than the knitted variety in
actual trench warfare and afford such a won
derful protection from the wind and cold.
that It is hoped we will be able to supply at
least all of our own Pennsylvania men with
this comfort.
Almost every one has a few pairs of old
kid gloves, and IL they are sent into the
Emergency Aid overseas committee, at 1898
Walnut street, they will be used TO n very
good advantage. Any and all kinds of gloves
black. white or colored--and the gloves may
even be badly soled. as several firms In the
city have kindly volunteered TO clean all
that come In for this work
