Who Is the Boss of Rnstnn2

At IS now to be determined whether the elected mayor M Boston and the governor of Massachusetts, who in certain extreme control of the nu- ncpalities of that state or Samuel Gompers of Wash ington D. C., is the ruler of Boston If it should be established by compromise or otherwise that Mir Gompers is the real power in Boston way will have been opened for him to control over every municipality in the United States This is matter which should be settled It is. though more im- mediate, of greater Boston than it is to New York Philadelphia. Cleveland Detroit Chicago and San Francisco.
 Mr. Gompers is willing to compromise on the basis Of the surrender Of the Boston authorities If the latter will suspend the order against the utilization of the police with the American Federation of Labor he will let policemen to their duties which they had abandoned in violation their oaths The strik- ing policemen have signified their willingness to obey Mir. Gompers of Washington. D. C. They do not recog- size any other authority.
 President Wilson. though this is not matter of federal concern occupies indefinite position some where in the middle. He suggests a compromise knowing that any compromise, as he must know of the municipal government Boston with it's rebelIons and oath breaking policemen must be surrender of part of municipal authority
 What possible compromise can there be. There Is but one single, simple but very important matter inFoved-the allegiance of the Boston policemen. Is that allegiance to Boston to the American Fedora ton of Labor? It cannot be to both The only ser vice the president perform this service is to Sdvise Mir Gompers that the situation in Boston is not affair of the American Federation of Labor The Boston authorities need advice the president The Boston policemen have put themselves beyond he proper counsel of the president any one else His interference in their behalf of the gov ernment of Boston could only encourage the pre-

 Anyhow, here is decided reduction in the prices of meat, which though much higher than they were a few years ago are far below prices. There is showing of about 20 per cent reduction.
 We think shortly everything else we have to have will be brought within reach again In the meantime it is up to the rest of to plug along and by of increased production and economy help bring prices down. at the same keeping observant eye upon the efforts which being made are being pre- tended to be made, to stop profteering.

That Wouldn't Help

We threatened, it is stated. with tieup of the building industry in Phoenix for time. Another de- mand is being made increase of wages of vari- crafts. carpenters to sS a day and general un- skilled helpers about buildings S day The argu- ment is made that these demanded increases have been made necessary by the higher cost of living. The contractors their side say that they have been brought the breaking point. that it is not question of their unwillngness to increase wages but of inability to do so; they claim to have been brought up against stone wall.
 That is the situation The shutdown would per haps be of long duration Phoenix is just now in such shape, in it's of houses never before so urgent that any shut down will be likely injurious not only to the property directly involved but to the whole town; to every industry in town.
 We have not yet come near to the peak of the seasonal demand for houses The fewer houses there be. the more people there will be to pass us by and carry the word of inadequacy which for long time will deter others from coming
 We agree that the high cost of living furnishes strong incentive to demand for higher wages but a period of ideness in which large number of men will be thrown out of employment will not in itself lower the of living make easier the payment of the present prices
 Moreover, just a movement is under way a rather belated in Phoenix, ascertain whether the prices of many necessaries are unreasonably high. We rather think that there will be some re- duction in prices. The people have been informed already curtaiIng their buying and in other in this state result of investigations which have been conducted prices have begun to recede
 We have lately upon retail price list issued by southern Arizona dealer the largest butcher in the state, and whose is the only government speeted plant in the state. The following shows his past and present prices:

STAND FOR YOUR HOME CITY

A town, unlike a city, is no place
to foster jealousies and nourish con-
tentions. All should learn to know
that whatever will conduce to the well
fare of town cannot injure her
citizens. The disposition made mani
fest by her citizens point to her down
fall or her rise. The character of the
people make the town, not her struc-
lures, towering houses, domes and
monuments, and when people lose in
terest in the promotion of their town
they need not hope to thrive. Har-
mony among the people of commun-
ity is indicative of it's progress. Farm
ers cannot be at variance with one
another and prosper; merchants can
not, churches cannot, nor can any
similar organization of community.

FOOD AND FRILLS

We are told that there are not e.
nough people engaged in the copious
production of essentials, and that this
partly accounts for high prices.
We got around the difficulty during
the war by forbidding the production
of non-essentials. If this were done
now it would throw number of peo-
pie out of work, but they would soon
turn to the production of essentials,
and supply the shortage.
Unfortunately, there are many of US
who demand the on-essentials, and
are thus responsible for the shortage
of essentials. The richest man can
consume only small quantity of food,
and wear only a few clothes. But he
can soak a fortune in jewelry and au-
tomobiles, and it is the wages spent in
producing commodities that creates
the profiteer and sends prices up. 1t
takes the labor of lot of men to make
one automobile.
Cut out the luxuries to a reasonable
extent. We must choose between Jew
els and Johnny-cake, between pearls
and pie.

While his company was being held up
by intense artillery and machine gun
fire, Sergt. Anderson, without aid, vol.
UNFAIRLY left the company and worked
his way to the rear of the nest that
was offering the most stubborn resist
ance. His advance was made through
an open area, and under constant hos

son not only silenced the gun and cap
tured it, but also brought back with
him twenty-three prisoners. His home
address is Chicago.

SIXN-THREE "Y"
MEN DECORATED

Chicago.-The Y. NJ G.. A. carried
the Red Triangle into the camps and
trenches abroad at a cost of 53 lives,
a sacrifice proportionately One-quarter
as great as that in the American army,
according to a statement issued by the
national war work council of the 7.
M. c. A. Of these fatalities 35 were
due to disease, and the remainder to
shell-fre, bombs, gas-fever, drowning
and wounds. Ten Of these were wom
en-, one of whom was killed by shell
fire and the others in 81 German air
raid.
There were also So non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun fire. shell fire, and mo-
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases of slight wounds and gassings
which were attended at dressing sta
tons, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not Included.
These casualties occurred in force
which at no time exceeded 5000 worn
ers, of whom it is reckOned that mOrs
than One-ilalf were never sent to tn.

of huts maintained throughout the
training areas and the 'leave areas
Sixty-three "Y'' workers were deco
rated, while in all more than 152 re-
ceived official recognition for distin-
guished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, while 4S received other deco
rations. OF these, three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order Of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, 80 the
Italian War Cross, and one the
d'Armee. Seven were cited for the
Croix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for merit
orious conduct. and Twenty-Five re-
ceived honorable mention in dis
patches. Several units were cite1 in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than q score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.
Not one of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
tons show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that iden- |
titled Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went |
over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves |
under machine gun and shell fire to |
minister to the wounded, that they |
worked indefatigably as Stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst Of battle to res |
cue the wounded /

BEST Things
IN THIS Lift:

Did you ever stop to think that all
the best things in life come without
cost to ourselves? They are given
freely. The things that in their value
are without money and beyond price
are also in the method of their acqui-
sition without money and without
price. Every life is rich in the measure
that it has discovered and possessed
these treasures. A man may pay many
thousands of dollars for the painting
of sunrise, and yet it never will
be nearly so beautiful, so inspiring, so
valuable as the sunrise itself, a spec
tacle which the poorest may enjoy
without the expenditure of so much
as cent. All our works of art, costly
as they may be, are but limitations of
the originals, which, while far ex-
ceeding them in beauty, may be ours
for the taking.

JOSEPH w. SMITH.
First Lieutenant, 18th Infantry.

Lieutenant Smith was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
st. Baussant, France, September u,
1918. Finding that his platoon would
be under heavy fire from six enemy
machine guns in crossing the Rupt de
Mad, Lieutenant Smith plunged into
the stream ahead of his men, and
crossing to the opposite bank, exposed
himself to fire from the guns in order
to ascertain their exact location. He
then led his men in a flank attack on
the enemy position, capturing the guns
and nineteen Germans, this officer him
self carrying a rifle and using it with
telling effect. Lieutenant Smiths
quick judgment and disregard for per-
Sonal safety enabled the entire line to
advance without being separated from
its barrage. His mother Mrs. Rita L.
Smith, lives in Austin, Tex.
