Dear Brother:
Grace, mercy and peace be with
thee.
In a Louisville morning paper
read to-day a report Of certain
resolution said to have been passed
by the Western Baptist Association.
The title of the papers report is
Vote as You Pray"
All Baptists should vote rs they
pray. Just now the burden of our
prayer should be that the world may
be made safe for democracy. Lloyd
George, premier of Great Britain, as
you know, the most distinguished
Baptist in the world, wrote Mr.. Cole

tist Conventions Tell the Baptist
brotherhood that we are fighting for
Baptist principles"
Baptist principles are democratic
principles. Democratic principles are
to-day in this country in the hands
of the Democratic party. A Demo-
cratic President Is the mouthpiece of
that party. His word will close the
war and determine matters after the
war Behind him every lover of DEM
ocratic principles should stand to-
day.

tion is res adjudicata. The Kentucky

Beer in Britain

The beer question was one of the points of tack upon the British government in the house of commons the other night. Our British friends have been unable to deal with this matter promptly we have done. They have been forced to compromise and they succeeded in reaching understanding that the annual production of beer should be reduced to ten million barrels. Something was also agreed to regarding the strength of the beer This understand ing arrived last summer, but see, from the statements in the house. that the government has not insisted upon absolute compliance with the agreement since the manufacture is now running at the rate of 15,5O0OO0 barrels
 What reply was made to this disclosure, the dis patches do not state
 There is in England a strong prohibition senti- ment, but it is not comparatively strong it is in this country. There the trades unions and the farm laborers insist upon generous allowances of beer. That to them it is much more important matter than the outcome of the If the Germans be licked without serious interference with the supply well and good, but that beer supply must be preserved This is a sentiment the British govern ment had to recognize.
 The curtailment of beer production to 15,5O0O0o barrels something half billion gallons allow ing to every man. and child in England Scot land. Wales and Ireland, nearly fifteen gallons year seems not to have had disastrous effect upon the beer industry. We find from commercial re- view in the London Observer that:
 "The big brewery profits continue to attract at tention to the market and criticism in the street by consumers regards unfairness of high fixed prices. The trade has certainly derived much benefit from the war and thanks to the higher prices has easily overcome the disadvantages of shorter sale hours, restricted output higher taxation n- creased working costs.'
 A similar effect has been produced upon the disting and brewing industries in this country by drastic government legislation. They making money than ever by increased prices which have also overcome restricted output higher taxation and increased working costs" well constantly less ening wet territory.

The Movement of Valley Cotton

There is an impression in the valley among cotton ley, that for it not available. That is not quite true The local lines always furnish cars and they deliver them to the eastern terminals of the lines to which they subsidiary the Santa and the Southern Pacific But there they run into embargo territory where all held up, except such as are carrying priority commodities such coal, wheat and certain other food stuffs This ritory is bounded on the west by the Indiana line and the south by the Ohio river, and line to the Atlantic.
 There has never been time when the local lines within day two. Sometimes they could not furn- ish the peculiar equipment for hauling cotton, thar is. with capacity of not less than 50 bales. But there to ship cotton into embargo ter ritory, where it would be held in storage in badly needed for weeks and months And, in order reach market, cotton has to pass through embargo territory.
 Previous to the taking of the railroads by the government cotton shipped out of the valley That last October Ordinarily it would have reached the market in days. did reach the market for 50 days.

COUNTRY BOARD DIRECTORS ARE
 WELL SELECTED

In order that the interests of the valley be best served in every way, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce a year ago initiated a movement for adding to it's board of directors an advisory committee of five members selected from different parts of the valley.
 These county directors or members of the advisory board are chosen by the committee on nominations appoint ed each year to select the 30 who are to be voted upon by the members. This year the nominating committee has chosen c. w. Peterson, W. R. FL liott, R. P. Davie, Q. s. Stapley and Dr. A. J. Chandler. The choice of the nominating committee was approved by the members at the annual meeting held on Wednesday night.
 While the officials of the various chambers of commerce in Arizona were unable to be present in person at the annual meeting of the Phoenix Cham Der of Commerce, their good wishes for the future and their interest in the welfare of the local body were shown l by messages. Telegrams conveying geetings and good wishes were received from F. $. Viele, president of the cham 1 Der of commerce at Prescott; from L. i H. Hoffmeister, president of the Tue 1 son Chamber of Commerce.; from | James A. Boyle, secretary of the cham l Der of commerce and mines at Doug | las and from the officials in meeting at the Bisbee organization, the Warren 1 District Commercial club.

QUEST|ONNA|RES UNW|TT|NG HELP
 IN SOME CASES

Many a man who for years has shamefully neglected his family, has failed to provide for his. wife and children and has otherwise ill-treated them, is at present working regularly and applying his full wages to their support, all to the wonder of many who cannot understand the apparent phenomenon.
 Some of these men are in Phoenix, 1 and it is no phenomenon. To Uncle Sams questionnaire and | the resulting classification is due 1 this remarkable and salutary reform, 1 according to officials at state draft l headquarters who have been inter- l ested observers of several cases of i this kind.
 In the classification of registrants under the new regulations, the mar ried man who has children and who supports his family is placed in class 4. Three classes will be exhausted before his class will be called upon to join the colors.
 The married man who has chill dren, but who does not support his family, is placed in Class l, and his will be the first to be called into service.
 
 vide for his wife and children to the best of his ability has an equa, love for his country and dreads the call to defend it. Consequently, there has been a sudden change in the habits of these family slackers. They wish to be placed in class 1, along with the men of family who provide for them, instead of in class l.
 We have several of these mer under close watch right here 1T Phoenix" declared a draft officia yesterday. and the first indication they give of having neglected theil family-slam, bang, it will be class for them"
 Also, there are some men already in the army who are trying to ge out on the fake plea of having de pendents, when, according to the of ficials, these men havnt supported their wives or children for years.
 "One man who was sent to th' army from this county has been nov ing everything in an effort to b. discharged" added the draft official This man says that his wife is de pendent upon him for her support The wife unfortunately for him, hear' of his effort to secure a discharge and she sent us letter in whicl she declares:
 For heavens sake, don't let hin out of the army. He never did any thing for us except to beat me am the children. If Uncle Sam can ge anything out of him, let him stay il the army. It is where he belongs.

such that it was evident that if the shipment was made direct it would be held up a long time Ac cordngly, the shipment diverted through the south to Atlanta, Georgia, where it stored in warehouse awaiting rans-shipment to the point of destination. That arrangement the consgnees more than if it had come direct, except the house charges
 But when the government took hold of the road this diverse routing became impossible for of the things insisted upon the most direct routing the theory being that the shorter the route the quickly cars would be released further service. As things have turned that is only theory and not a condition. Shippers and others understand better than that paradox, the longest way is sometimes the shortest way across
 The cotton of this valley is needed at the mills. some of it for purposes, and certainly, the CTS need the money for it in order continue the industry this year. We believe if this matter brought to the attention of the government the bargo might be raised to the present cotton

GOVERNOR SETS
 ASIDE WEEK ID AID RED CROSS

That every school child in the coun- try shall become a member of the junior department of the Red Cross known as the Junior Red Cross, is the desire of the American Red Cross society, and in an effort to attain that desire, the ten days beginning on Monday, February F and ending on Friday, February P, have been de- signed as a period in which every child shall be enrolled in war work
 In cooperation with this effort In the other states, Governor Hunt has issued a proclamation calling upon all the people in Arizona to join in this purpose. The proclamation is as fol- lows:
 The president of the United States has issued a proclamation urging all school children to join the Junior Red Cross, and the National Junior Red Cross has designated the period from February F to the 9 as National Junior Red Cross Enrolment Week; Therefore. l, George w. P. Hunt, governor of Arizona, appeal to the people of Arizona to enroll their chil- dren as members of the Junior Red Cross. The State of Arizona has al ready made splendid response to the | appeal of the Junior Red Cross. but the work should not be stopped until every child can feel a personal in terest and responsibility in the great work. The days, February 18th to the 22nd are designated in the state of Arizona as National Junior Red Cross En- rollment week, and it is hoped that every public, private and parochial school will enroll as an auxiliary of l the American Red Cross.

TUNNELS DISCOVERED
 IN WAR PRISON CAMP!

SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. 15.-Inci- rent to the removal Thursday of the civilian prisoners from southern section of the war prison camp at Fort Doug las to a new location within the com pound, two more tunnels were diScov- cred by the prison authorities. This makes a total of sixteen tunnels that have been found within the last two and half months. Two were found Wednesday about the time Miss Au- gusta Minnie Deckmann, fiancee of Er- nest A. Leybold. an interned enemy alien, was arrested on a charge of rob ping the mail pouches in the censor's office. The tunnels discovered yest0- day had not been carried to any great extent of completion, but their discov- cry indicates the determination with which the prisoners of the camp have been working to gain their freedom. Both the Rev. B. Henry Leesmann,
 who was arrested Sunday night at the
 war prison camp, charged with trying to 'smuggle a note to one of the in- termed enemy aliens, and Miss Deck

CHANDLER COTTON
 GROWERS GATHER

CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 15.-At well attended meeting of the Chandler Cotton Growers association, plans were made for the coming season. w. H. Knox secretary of the Central associ- ation at Tempe, gave an interesting talk and told the growers of the value of the association. He explained the necessity of increasing the assessment of members from $1.50 to $2 per bale and showed how this money was spent. The assessment of S1.50 was not suffi- cient to cover last years expenses, he said. Pima seed will be planted almost exclusively in the valley with very little of the>Yuma variety, which has been allowed to deteriorate. This means that the gins will only handle the Pima cot ton and will not be in shape to gin the Yuma until the end of the season, as it costs about $100 to change the gin stands at each gin.
 President George R. Johnson pre- sided at the meeting and it was decided to hold another session in two weeks A vote of thanks was rendered MT. Knox for his timely talk.
