THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE

America is not a nation as England is nation, as Germany a nation, nor as France Italy, span and Japan nations.
 It is a federation.
 It's coherence is not blood or religion or of dynasty. It coheres simply because of a common ideal which is liberty and self government.
 It coheres also because all of its people are en- gagged in the same work They making living They are all business. The idle class, the endowed privileged and self elected superior class among us is negligible.
 Ii has been said that a United States of Europe is impossible and cannot be erected the model of the United States of America because the states or Europe of different race and language. But ln- stead of this being a against European fed eraton it is a for it. / The. very beauty of federation is that by means of it states entirely different characters can CO., operate. Each state attend to its own internal affairs The federation is device for enabling them do this without wasting their energies quarreinS with each other.
 A common stock and language has it's sentimental values. It is worth while to conserve them But these values are political The intense feel ing of Germany of Bulgaria and Ireland, has caused trouble enough in politics.
 The division of the world into political units on the lines of race will some day be as great an an achronism their division the lines of religion
 The real division should be simply administrative Democracy means business. It means that the world should be divided, grouped and managed by the workers
 The only difference today between New York Connecticut is the difference between two pigeon holes politically speaking. That ought to be the only difference between Ireland and England Bel gium and Holland. Along with kings the whole set of monarchic ideas ought to go
 The United States of Europe is impossible if you try to blend lot of groups that dominated by meddaeva ideas of dynasty perpetuating mediae val hates
 The world can be made safe for democracy only business organization where states exist for the welfare of the people inside of them and where a federation exists maintain the integrity of the several units.
 To build the house of the future there must be a cleaning of the Augean stables. We must get rid of the vast aS9umulations of passionate nonsense the past has entailed. upon

PRESIDENT WILSON ABROAD

The ambassadorial offices of President Wilson among the nations of Europe come into singular and impressive prominence in connection with the death of former President Roosevelt. In fact for President Taft belongs of right the same as- sociation, since he is prosecuting effective guard fight in the same battle in which his sue cessors have been engaged so valiantly.
 three presidents, whose great services focus upon one issue viz, world peace, world unity and un- derstanding, world brotherhood.
 Colonel Roosevelt the first to bring Amer thought. The welcome accorded President Wilson is significant of something altogether greater than mere consent to his specific proposals The con- mon people everywhere receive him as the spokes- man of nation which stands to their hearts for untranslatable things In those countries where his language is not understood there is still the same welcoming cordiaty And here at home as well as abroad Mr. Taft is speaking language that is interpreted by the common host of men as going far beyond the currently expressed objectives of any of our stated programs.
 These three presidents have in some fashion become almost providentia men, moving no doubt, in ways that maybe they have not fully compre- hended in step with deeper and irresistible trend of the master spirit of civilization. They are bringing about that acquaintance of peoples which will presently begct neighborliness-a so the cause of world peace steadily advances

The Passing of MT. Roosevelt
IFrom the BulIetin)


 The uses of great men. What power can be developed in modern world in very few years by a man who has the genius for popularity! Theodore Roosevelt mounted to worldwide emin- ence because he put into living speech the feel ings, thoughts and purposes which were moving in the breasts of all men and women.
 What could have more genuinely focused the gropng aspirations of civilization than that delicious and clarion proclamation: If this world is to be good place for any of it has got to be a pretty good place for all of us'
 How great place this marvellous man made for himself in the thoughts and affections of the hu race. How much of that agreement and unity of sentiment which is growing among the nations of the world is the quick fruitage of the seeds planted by his dexterous tongue and. warmed into a glowing vigor by the ample and infectious gen. erosties of his splendid mind and heart.
 Theodore Roosevelt did as much as any man who has walked earth to give to the American people that happy eminence and leadership which is just at this moment the crowning feature of world politics He made the idealism of democ- racy count heavily upon the universal thought He advanced us immeasurably as a nation toward that empire of counsel and inspiration which is bound to increase in its influence upon the entire human race

FRAME BILL AIMED :.
 AT CATTLE THIEF.

The livestock sanitary board is busy preparing a bill to submit to the legis- lature that is well calculated to make life miserable for the cattle thief and 'peddler who has always been hard to catch.
 The new bill will provide that the board or one of its inspectors must be notified of the intention to kill meat animals and the animals inspected be- fore killing. This will prevent the pleasant habit of the thieving gentry of killing range cattle and taking the meat and selling it. for it is further provided that persons found in posses sion of quantities of meat may be called upon to prove it's origin.

SPEEDY WORK DONE BY THE REPUBLICAN
 WASHINGTON BUREAU

Some idea of the scope of informa- tion disseminated by the Arizona Re publican Bureau of Information, Wash ington, h. C., may he obtained from two inquiries from Phoenix and the replies from the bureau. OneN in- quirer wanted to know how many farmers in Arizona paid an income tax. It was found by the bureau that 96 farmers paid an income tax in 1918 and that the total tax paid was $14,199.
 A Phoenix lady wired the bureau wanting to know when Company G, of the 30Sth infantry, 77th division, and company E of the 331st infantry, 83d division, would leave France. A re- turn wire informed her that the latter named regiment had ben scheduled for an early convoy, but that the 30Sth had 1 not yet been assigned.
 For the second week of the operation ! of the bureau 137 applications were made for copies of the patriotic calen- l dar These are mailed free. and along with them 274 useful documents.
 The bureau will be glad to serve all readers of The Republican, who will address The Arizona Republicans In- formation Bureau, Washington, D. C., Frederick J Haskins, Director.

For Americans

Every man and and child old enough to understand what he reads should read Julian Streets article Roosevelt in the current number of Golfers Weekly It should not be read for the purpose of correcting any impression that may be entertained regarding the foremost of Americans, but gain a clearer idea of what American ism is from perusal of the facts set forth by MT.
 Street regarding the life of American of the highest tpe-the in whom embodied more than in any other man of his time hopes an aspirations the American people Thus it through him that for twenty years, from the moment he became president until he was gently touched by the wand" of death these hopes and aspirations expressed.
 He had been called, said Mr. Street the typical American" He was that not in the sense that he was a type of his country men, but of these hopes and ambitions which were silently and slowly moving toward fulfillment.
 All this long time he occupied position occupied by no other man in the world. There presl- dents and rulers but other whether president or king was the leader of a great people. He laid down the presidency in 1908 but he retained the lea dership wherever he was-in the wds of Africa or among the jungles of Brazil and he retained it until his death. For year and a half before we went to he inveghed against 'ingorous peace against which he had given warning years ago in that fam speech urging strenuous endeavor."
 Substantial progress has been made in hardly any direction to which Roosevelt had not pointed steadily since his public life His hopes were often deferred when the people hestated but he lost faith in them patience with them, or ever doubted that in the end Americanism would be triumphant e4

Competition and Division

The point made by MT. Swift of the Big Five" that proof that there competition in the meat packing division was furnished by documentary evidence the government had unearthed of attempt to break it. was an exhibition of nerve"
 A convicted criminal might well argue that his own conviction evidence that the laws were being enforced; that he had committed crime was something for which he should be given credit for having given the law opportunity to assert its majesty.
 That there is a certain degree of competition in the meat packing industry is not to be doubted Each of the big companies naturally wants to get more out of the business than any other but this con- petition has never taken the form of throatcuttng one another They have always together against the consumer and the producer and especially against the producer
 It was observed years ago that there nice working agreement among the packers effective in every part of the country for the control of the market It was understood daily in different markets what the shipper should receive his stock to whom soever of the combine it should be sold All prices were based on the Chicago price and the difference between the Chicago price and the price at other point measured by the freight charges to Chicago
 It was not quite easy to combine in selling price for and meat products. Each packer had differing from the brands of the other packers
 The fancy of the consumers for the various brands where all the packers in the same market had great deal to do with sales. The only way that combination could be affected the selling market was by a distribution of the territory among them. That evidently what the Swifts were trying to bring about when they ordered the Wilson company to keep. out of the Fresno market If the packers could agree upon division of the territory among themselves ard they appear to have done to some extent, the monopoly would be complete,
 It very often happens that the partners in an enterprise cannot fully agree among themselves as to the division of the spols It cannot be saiG of them that there is competition among them which does outsiders any good They fully agreed as to the amount of the spells to be taken from the out siders. The division is the only subject of discord So it is division among the packers in this respect and not competition, of which have heard

SCHOOL OFFICIALS MEET OV JOINING
 GRADES AND HIGH

There was a meeting at the chamber of commerce yesterday afternoon of representatives of the high school faculty, members of the city schools boards and of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce in the mat ter of a consolidation of the city schools and the high schools. Mern- bers of the board of the latter were un able to be present. Vocational Direc- tor l. Colodny. was also present, in- terested mainly in the consolidation because of the greater opportunity it would give for vocational work in the schools.
 As matters now stand, with the schools separated as they are, it is impossible to give a boy or girl of the grammar grades vocational training in the high school. But that could be done if the schools were related.
 Though this subject of consoiida : ton has been discussed for years, no definite move had ever been made to bring it about. It was thought. though that at this time when school reform is in the air that the time might ee propitious All the persons who took part in the conference yesterday were favorable to the colsoidation.

 It not quite certain whether this a good plan. In another war work campaign the sticker and the boy scouts were used. There was we have been told. some trouble about it. The boy scouts are all manly little fellows but all boys are lacking in dipo- macy, and given to brusquesness of action Some places they visited had propretors who if grouchy were also brusque and conflicts ensued in some of which the boys thrown bodily.

175 Registered Holsteiins

Of the millions of Dairy cattle that grown in these United States the best available records show that the percentage of pure-bred animals is scarcely 3fo In former article we considered the rapid improve ment ill production by the use of pure-bred dairy sres 1t is therefore evident that there is bound to be STRONG DEMAND FOR PEDIGREED DAIRY STOCK for many years to come.
 Some idea of this demand can be had when we learn that in 300 auction sales of pure-bred Hostens i'll 1918 the average price per animal was $264

we can not only grow these animals more cheaply than they can be grown elsewhere but, on account of our abundance of feed, are more likely to grow them well.
 In considering the idea of developing pure-bred ani mals, the chief draw back, in the opinion of the Pros pectve Breeder, is the lack of provision for satis factory selling system. In those sections of the United States where the breeding of pure-bred ami mals has become common, the holding of consign- ment sales has proven very satisfactory marketing plan. An auction to which all breeders could consign their stock could be held twice year and when wide ly advertised would draw many buyers from distant points,
