GREAT poet has called the Au-
tumn days, the saddest OF the
year" but bleak and gray rs
y 3 some of them are. they are
filled with interest, and often
are marked by beautiful and balmy
weather. October. the tenth month
on our calendar, derived It's name from
the Roman year. where 1t occupied the
eighth place on the list OF months
and was given the Latin prefix Octo
which means eight. Even though, in
the course OF time the calendar was
changed, the name October remained
in its original form. but this was at
first misleading. and so in different
countries the month was designated by
names deemed to be more appropriate
by the early peoples. The Slavs knew
It as the yellow month" because In
October the leaves turn yellow.
There are about October, as about
every other month, many strange be-
liefs and suerstitions. People used to
believe that IL you were born at any
time in the month before the twenty
third you would have high ideals and
ambitions, and that you would be saw
ing and thrifty. You will also look
ahead when planning your life; you
will suffer from A hasty and quick
temper: and contrary to your thrifty

full and luxurious surroundings. But
should you have been born after the
twenty-thlrd OF October you VIII have.
beside these other qualities. great pow.
ers OF strength. Of vitality and endur-
ance. You viii be shy and people
will have difficulty making friends
with you. but once person is. your
friend. the friendship will be firm
and warm. You will he very positive
in what you say and think, and you
will be a leader among your fellows
The birthstone for October is the
opal which Is the symbol Of hope
There Is an old verse about October
which goes:
"October's child !s born for woe.
And life's vicissitudes must know;
But lay an opal on her breast
And hope will lull all woes 10 rest"
The hop . the flower for the month.

with their constituents they prob
ably will be retired to private
life, but when the senators meet
in Washington for the purpose of
committing the party to their in
dividual opinions they are usurp-
ing a power that may disrupt the
party in the Presidential election.
A League of Nations drafted by
republicans is no more to be de-
sired than one drafted by Mr..
Wilson. The whole theory is
wrongin that it creates a gov
erning body superior to our gov
ernment, which means some of
our rights and privileges have to
be sacrificed.

1t has been given out that a
caucus of republican senators will
be held in Washington before the
special session .convenes to con-
fer over the revision and amend
ments made in the League of
Nations covenent, with the idea
Of making it a party measure and
supporting it's adoption. The
principal amendment is one rec
ognizing the principle of the
Monroe doctrine, and o t h e r
amendments offered in an analY-
sis by Elihu Root Immediately
following Mr.. Wilson's return
to France. 1t will be we'll for
republican senators to remember
they are not the directors of the
destinies of the republican party,
and any attempt on their part to
commit the republican party to
the League of Nations may mean
another division in the ranks
even more serious than the de-
Election of 1912. Because a few
individuals have been honored by
their party for places in the U.
S. Senate does not confer the
right upon them to dictate poll
cies for the party, a function that
is held primarily and exclusively
to the party representatives in
national convention. The right
of senators to their individual
opinion cannot be abridged, and
if their vote is out of harmony

About 5000 federated railroad

About 5000 federated railroad
shop crafts in Denver, under the
leadership OF men of the Boil
sheviki stripe, went out on a
one-day strike last week as
protest on the Imprisonment of
Eugene Debs, and later at a mass
meeting passed resolutions favor
ing the Red government of Rus
sia. The federal administration
should pick up the leaders in this
demonstration and deport them
to Russia, where they no doubt
rightly belong. If they want Red
government they should be sent
where they have it.

According to the Coconino Sun,
w. A. Mouer, the present land
commissioner, who was visiting
in Flagstaff, declared himself as
candidate for Governor next
year. Mr.. Mouer will find when
he gets in the race the people
have not forgotten the part he
played in getting the Land Steal
Bill passed. The records will be
pulled on Mouer that he not only
wrote a letter endorsing the
Steal, but it was not strong
enough to satisfy the cattlemen's S
association to whom it was ad-
dressed, as he seemed to be
lodging the question, and they
demanded he appear to make his
position clear. Honest Billy"
probably, anticipated some such
action and had left the city, but
Honest Ben Clark, his deputy,
hurried over to the convention to
explain that Mouer was enthus-
iastic for the bill. There are
about 1900 democrats in Navajo
county who will make it very un-
comfortable for Honest Billy
when he starts making his cam
paign.

About ten days ago President
Wilson, at the peace conference,
made strong declaration that
secret agreements made by ma
tions during the war should not
be considered at the peace table,
and decided against the claim of
Italy that she was promised FL
ume by France and England
when peace terms were made.
France and England seized upon
Mr.. Wilson's declaration as a
good excuse to break faith with
their ally. With peace coming
it did not look good to them to
make it possible for the power
of Italy to be strengthened by
giving to her control of the Adri-
attic sea. Last week Japan came
before the conference demand
ing the fulfillment of her secret
war pact with England whereby
the Shantung province in China
was to pass to her control, and
Notwithstanding Mr.. Wilson OBJ
Jected again to secret treaties
being considered England and
France did not take the same
view as they did with Italy. and
the secret pact was written into
the peace terms by their affirm
ative action. Japan has always
been the faithful ally of Eng
: land, and secretly she would like
to see Japan gain strength to be
a greater menace to the United
States. Strengthening Italy was
menace at home. This is
fair sample of the intriguing of
European powers, and how close
ly they are allied together for
selfish ends against the United
States except when it is to their
advantage to agree. These are
the powers that want this coun-
try in League of Nations with
a council of nine members, and
we have one vote. Will the or
ganization of the League work
a miraculous divine change in
the treacherous diplomacy of the
European nations fostered and
developed through the centuries? ?
The people of this country can
prepare themselves to be made
the goat" if a League of Ma
tions is ever adopted.

A number of democratic news

A number of democratic news
papers and politicians are send
ing forth plaintive walls that
newspapers and senators who
are opposing League of Nations
are actuated solely by political
reasons to antagonize President
Wilson, giving out the impress
sion that the President was the
inspiring genius who brought
forth the idea. They forget that.
ex-President Taft was talking
about a League of Nations when
Wilson was an unknown profess
sor in college, with no thought
of affairs beyond the campus.
The League of Nations is not a
partisan issue, and should not be
dragged through the mire of po-
litical parties. 1t Is a bigger
question. 1t is one of American
ism, and the keeping of this coun-
try outof|entangling alliances with
European powers, with their Sc
cret diplomacy, intrigues an d
treachery, that has as it's basis the
continuing of the doctrine of the
divine rights of kings to rule.
Some of the strongest democrat
ic statesmen and influential news
papers are opposing the League
of Nations, and many republi-
can leaders and newspapers are
favoring it, but it is left to the
little, insignificant professional
politician to raise the cry that
opposition is prompted by hostil-
ity to the President. Mr.. Will
son, although President, is not
divinely guided in all his theories
and preachments, and neither
has the power been conferred up
on him to dictate to the people
what they shall or shall not think
upon questions concerning the
future of this country, notwith-
standing during the past two
years democratic Congress has
conferred dictatorial powers up
on the President never dreamed
of possession by even the Gar
of Russia in his palmy days.
The. democratic party as the
champion of the ancient theory
of states rights is permitting
itself to be led far afeld follow
ing Mr.. Wilson in his zeal to
practically establish a central
lied government to control the
destinies of this nation, wherein
we will have only one vote out
nine the other. eight being in
control of the European powers,
whose ruling heads are closely
related by intermarriage, and
who can always be depended up
on to stand together against the
interests of this country. The
outstanding feature of the League
of Nations is to bring the Unit
ed States into all the broils of
Europe, and how many people of
this country are willing to have
their sons called into. service
every time couple of European
powers get into a war to steal d
piece of territory? The League
of Nations is a fatuous academic
dream of pacifist theorists that
LEADS nowhere, and eventually
will end in sad disillusionment.
