TODAY AND TONIGHT

The presence of the boys of the 15sth here tonight in the parade ought to loosen the hearts and pocket books of citizens who have not yet bought Victory bonds.
 What they did across the should make realize how little did at home and how little We asked to do
 Our part in the war has been pitifuy small. Many of us will not look back upon the great conflict with pride, but rather with shame, that had small part in it, part at all.
 What in after years must be the emotions of the man who has done nothing, the little he could have done.
 We suppose that who has stayed at home and kept his family at home has made the slightest sacrifice. On the contrary, (and We not making an accusation of profiteerng) believe that nine of every citizens have done better financially than they would have done if there had been war.
 They may not have schemed to take advantage of the opportunity the offered him. It to him naturally.
 And one is not now asked to make any sacrifice; he is not asked to give up any part of the wealth he has acquired He is only asked to change the form of that increased wealth and to change it to his advantage.
 There are many citizns who have not amassed wealth if it has come to them. They may not have the money buy bonds outright, but by saving, they can buy them on easy instalments. If they do not save for this purpose, they will probably not save at all.
 There are thousands of citizens who have had two year in saving and have profited by it. They holders great small, of bonds Of every ssue-the result of their saVing-ther first saving.

Misunderstood Terms

What is democracy? What is bolsheyism? What is dictatorship? questions raised in the troversy between Secretary of Labor Wilson, who de- cares that bolshevism is not democracy, and James Wilson, president of the International Association of Patternmakers who, We assume believes that bo- shevism is pure and unrestrained democracy. To which Secretary Wilson replies that boshevism as know it. is dictatorship either of the individual or majority.
 Both gentlemen at sea of a mis- conception of the meaning of democracy, term of wide and variable sgnification. Generally under stand democracy to be rule of the people; or if not the actual exercise of the power of government the possession of that power which may be applied at any time. It presupposes a state of society in which all men equal
 Bolshevism is also in meaning rule of the ma jority, that bolshevism and democracy are separated only by thin line if at all. One cannot say where begins and the other leaves off. As terms, they only spelled differently and pro- nounced differently. What bolshevism has become under Lenine and Trotzky, democracy would become in similar state of society under the sort of leaders. We what democracy was in Mexico under Diaz. There it became a despotsm. Under a weaker man such as Carranza, it became anarchy. Under a small group of wiser than either Villa or Carranza, it would become identical with our popular conception of bolshevism.
 We cannot, therefore contrast democracy with bolshevism Secretary Wilson would do The only antithesis of democracy is absolutsm. Nor can we say that when man any number of men less than majority in the name of the people, power and exercise it extra ra-constitutionay, that s dictator ship, more than could say that the extra-con- stitutional rule of clear majority is dictatorship. As matter of fact, both dctatorships one as hateful the other in that under them orderly pro- cesses are set aside.
 Our own experience with popular rule within the last ten years has shown that it is frequently rule of the minority. In this state we have enacted many laws by the initiative referendum Very few of them were adopted by the votes of the ma jority. They have generally owed their adoption to the fact that small interested organized groups were behind them, while the great the people the opponents, the apathetic and the ignorant were unorganzed. Two notable exceptions to our popular legislation in the last decade prohibition amendment and the re-enactment of capital pun ishment.
 What democracy is what bolshevism is or nsat dictatorship is depends upon the psbple and

the times dictatorship has not always been bad thing The Roman Relationships were probably necessary to the safety of the republic. Though the dictator exercised extra-consttutiona power it was regularly conferred upon him. the time within which he could exercise it was usually brief, only long enough to cover the period of emergency, and certain restrictions were thrown about him to prevent his perpetuation Of that power.
 Any form of organized government must rest force Force is supposed to the majority If there were nothing than preponderance of ballots to depend upon the majority would be unable exercise it's rule the minority would frequently not abide by the result Now and then force exists in the minority as we see the operation of bolshe vism in Russia, just as we frequently witness the minority rule in popular elections.
 We heard much during the of democracy bat ting for survival There many kinds of democracy as there were allies, except that the democracy of republican France not democracy at all. The government is essentially bureaucratic The government of Great Britain democratic though the society Great Britain opposed to the basic theory of democracy-equality.
 But all were opposed to absolutism which, by the way, already dead in Russia was no longer absoutst and Turkey was broken But Germany though absolutist name had been by militarism made in fact
 The forms of democracy insignificant. An at tempt to discover the differences between them is ar attempt to split hairs. The success of democracy depends upon the character Of the people A democ- racy with us, is good thing and it could never be a bad thing long. It could not be made good thing in Russia Mexico Nor could bolsheyism in America become what it is in Russia

L|EUT. BOb HOLIDAY
 JOINED 158TH INF
 BUT NEVER CROSSED

Among the members of the 15Sth who joined it on the Mexican border two year ago was Robert P. Holiday, for some years a member of The Repub- lican's reportorial force and still a member on Sabbatical leave, now Lieu tenant Holiday. stationed at Camp Kearny. The day war was declared Halliday began preparing to take part in it. He made application for admis- sion to the first officers training school at the Presidio, San Francisco. When he did not secure an appointment he decided to enlist in the national guard as he believed that the organizations that had seen service on the border would be the first to be sent across.
 He was soon promoted to supply sergeant Again the \. c. \. was sent to Camp Kearny instead of overseas and 1t seemed a probability that it would be detained in this country in definitely, Holiday again tried fo~ thA officers training camp and was admit ted. He was commissioned about d year ago.
 Unfortunately for his desire to see ] active service his training in the sup ply department and the capability he 1 had displayed were against him and brought about his attachment to the quartermaster's department and kept him in this country throughout the war Another boy of the 15Sth came only little nearer seeing service, Lieuten- ant Robbie Baker He was commits stoned at the same time as Halliday and the organization to which he was l attached started for France.

HONOR FRANK LUXE IN NAMING NEW A|R
 FIELD IN HAWAII

An aviation field in the Hawaiian islands has been named Luke field in honor of Frank Luke, Jr., Of Phoenix who was killed in an air battle with the Germans on September 25. 1918, according to a report received in this city yesterday.
 Luke gained national reputation for his bravery during his air service in France and not only his friends in Phoenix but the entire country mourned when the announcement of his death was received in this country The naming of this field in his honor will cause his name to remembered not only by the present friends but the coming generation as well.

JAN HE VOTE NOW IN
 THE LAST ELECTION?

The question now arises whether q man can vote now in the election held last November 5?
 State Engineer Thomas Maddock yesterday received his soldier ballot for that election. It had followed him all over France, and then, several months after he had returned to Ari- zona and settled down to the work, the ballot showed up.
 Truly, the soldier voting law, aided and abetted by the mails, works in Q fearful and wonderful manner.
 And Maddock says he is ready and willing to exercise his right to vote.
 But it's probably a few minutes late.

SCH00LB00KS OF LONG AGO
Ancient Tablets Show That Children
Of Past Ages Studied Much as
Do Those Of Today.

Professor Langdon of Oxford, Eng,
has discovered that one group of the
famous Nippur tablets stored at the
University of Pennsylvania are in re-
ality the oldest schoolbooks known to
exist. They show, says the Christian
Herald, that the children Of the an
clients learned much that the boys and
girls of today have to study.
According to these tablets the chill
dren of 4,2OO years ago were taught
arithmetic, geography, history and
grammar Just like the children OF to-
day.
The multiplication tables are re-
markably distinct, and in plain num-
erals show the incontrovertible fact
that three times one are three and five
times one are five.
On one tablet the school boy has
been given a lesson in phonetic signs
corresponding to the shorthand of mod
ern times. The Sumerians, the au-
tbors of these tablets, also invented
the use of writing syllables and COM
bining them into words, being the first
step toward the alphabet.

EACH AGE HAS ADVANTAGE
Hard to Tell Which, From Childhood
to the End, May Be Called
tho "1est."

Which is the best age? Are we to
believe the professor who tells US that
q mans best work is done before he Is
forty, or Robert Browning, who exalts
old age and cries, "Grown old along
with me-the best is yet to bel"
Childhood, remarks a writer In Lon
don Answers, has a magic and mys'
terry which can never be regained. Out
of its imagination child shapes its
own world and creates its own de-
lights in life.
Youth is the time when we find our
greatest physical expression. Our
ideals take form and we are neither
fettered by failures nor spoilt by sue
cess Normal youth believes it can
conquer all obstacles and achieve all
ends.
Maturity knows better. The man OF
forty is balanced by experience, and
while his mental faculties should have
reached their hirhest point Of develop
ment, physically he is not q back num-
Der.
And what Of Browning's old age2 II
the best yet to be? Perhaps. The man
who has been q failure is near the end
Of his earthly troubles, and the man
who has succeeded awaits with sense
Of fulfillment, the next great adven-

One Strange Result Of War.

Strange, unknown flowers are
springing up in shell holes and dug
outs over the SCARED surface Of No
Mans land, and many are the conjec-
lures concerning the strange phenom-
enon. -
Botanists who have studied the
strange plants have come to the con-
clusion that they have sprung from
seeds buried In the earth for many
decades. A well-known London botan-
ist in a recent discussion said:
1T is known that seeds have been
buried for upwards Of 60 years with
out losing their power Of termination.
Seeds of corn and wheat buried with
Egyptian mumnies thousands Of years
ago have been planted out in the 10th
century and have germinated in the
ordinary way. It Is quite possible
that strange Towering plants-that H.
strange to the local inhabitants-are

Kitty was white, as Sammy's glance
fell on her. Kitty was frightened.
For Kitty had been able to sense what
scarcely anybody in the crowd sus-
pected, for she had been investigating
this animal business deal in the last
six months, had Kitty.
She knew that things were going
wrong In that cage. AS her eyes and
Sammy's met, she raised her hand In
one imperious, undeniable gesture, and
through white lips screamed over all
the fanfare Of the pageant, "Duck,
Sammy!'
Sammy ducked-and the razor-like
claws of Caliph missed him by the
thinness of a whistle as the snarling
beast hurtled through the air. There
was a whirl of tawny, black spotted
bodies and a horrifying scrambling
and snarling; an agile flashing Of
pink; one, two. three rapid blank
shots in the faces Of the frantic cats
and, like jack out of his box,
Sammy emerged from the rear door of
the cage. slamming in the hasp behind

"You can," replied Hartman. In
