GIVE THEM THEIR JOBS

| A S THE situation becomes bet
! ~ ter understood among employ
ers of all classes, there is an
increasing disposition to provide
| places for the returning soldiers and
those employed in the national serv-
ice and war work suddenly thrown
out of employment by the ending of
the war. There are still many de-
serving cases, however, which ap-
peal TO those who understand the
circumstances. We have in mind
several worthy young soldiers who
served with distinction overseas and
who are now without employment
hoped to get have already been
filed or the positions tendererd to
them arc not of the character to in
terest any ambitious soldier
Industrial uncertainty is respon-
sible for much of the difficulty that
is encountered by the men seeking
employment, but there should be
real effort on the part of patriotic
employers to provide places for
those who served in any branch of
the service and who now want to
take their places in the usual civil
activities.
National and State employment
agencies are doing much to over
come the conditions which confront
the soldier without a job, but they
must have the cooperation of the
business community and the manu-,
featuring and industrial leaders. AS
has been pointed out by several of
the business organizations, it will be
better. until the rehabilitation of
our men in the service shall have
been completed, for all the return
ing soldiers to report at their home
stations AID to their former en-
ployers. Otherwise, there is bound
to be congestion in some parts of
the country, while other sections are
without sufficient men for the jobs
that are open. This is already shown
to be the fact in Detroit and other
industrial centers.
But Notwithstanding the shifting
of the surplus labor it will still be
necessary for employers generally to
establish as fixed policy, the keep
ing open of jobs for the men who
are coming back from the biggest
job that was ever undertaken in the
history of the world.

Washington a Music LoDer
A
MONTH


Rupert Hughes in Saturday
Evening Post.l
Speaking of Washington and OF
music, the father of this country
wrote to a composer regretfully: II
can neither sing one of the songs nor
raise a single note on an instru-
ment." He loved music, however,
and bought for his wifes grand
daughter Nelly, forte piano" then
a very new instrument, as we'll as an
imported harpsichord for which he
paid a thousand dollars. He loved to
hear Nelly Custis sing and play.
The letter quoted above was writ
ten to Francis Hopkinson, who, in
spite of being the first important
American composer, an inventor of
musical instruments and perform
err, was also member of the Con-
tinental Congress and q signer OF
the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson, who stands
fairly high as a statesman, was a
and spent much time playing to the
Accomplishments of his wife. Jeffer-
son while in Paris corresponded
with Hopkinson on musical topics
and took an interest in placing there
Hopkinson's improvement on harp
ischord jacks. He discussed it with
DR.. Benjamin Franklin, who was not
only a writer of very witty musical
criticisms, but also a performer on
the "s;iccado" and the inventor of
an instrument which he called the
"armonica." The ingenious adoption
of the then popular musical glass
es" made a sensation, and at least
one woman toured Europe giving
concerts on it. Both Mozart and
Beethoven wrote special compost
lions for Poor Richards invention.
The founder of the late and unla-
mented Prussian power was Freder-
ick the Great, who played the flute
like professional and left hun
dred and twenty compositions for 1t
He practiced four hours Il day on his
flute and later took up the piano
clavier.
And then of course. there was
King David. who won his first pre-
ferlnent on the piano of his day, the
harp, and might properly be styled a
court musician. According to
Chronicles is, David, when he came
to the throne, organized a large or
chestra with three leaders, each OF
whom founded a school of music.

THIRTY varieties of monstrous
crimes are laid at the eX-kai-
ser's door by the subcommittee
of the Commission on War Respon-
sibility in Paris, but, while the Brit
ish, French and Italian members arc
reported to have prescribed capital
punishment, the japanese and Amer
lean members cannot agree to 1T.
Japan still holds that empeTorS rule
by divine right. To hang even an
eX-emperor would be a sacrilege.
The American members seem ready
to content themselves with a moral

bringing him to trial and execution
appears to them inadequate if not
altogether lacking. AS the New York
Tribune puts it, "Mr. Lansing is a
lawyer, with a lawyers concern for
lesalities and precedents. He could
not find what express statute the
Hohenzollern violated or discover in
ternational machinery for conducting
his trial on joint account" To the
Tribune. Mr.. Lansing's position
looks legitimate enough in principle,
but nevertheless conducive OF huge
injustice:

tania children still strew the sea.

WHITE BREAD FOR Us

= ULIUs c. BARNES. Federal
Wheat Director, speaks wisely
= when he says Herbert Hoover's
declaration that the world will be
back to a war-bread basis inside of
three months does not apply to the
United States.
Mr.. Hoover has just returned to
Paris from Germany and it appar-
emily was what he saw there that
caused him to make this prediction.
Mr.. Hoover must not expect Ameri-
cans to go back to diet of war
bread in order to share their wheat
with Germany. We got along very
well on the grain substitutes that
were necessary in order that our
allies should have enough wheat to
meet their needs, but if anybody is
going to eat substitutes now it will
be the Germans.
America is not going to sacrifice
its white loaf to fill the yawning
NAV of a nation that starved itself
for four years, while it played the
role of international outlaw, with
its eye on the purse of the world
We have suffered quite enough at
the hands of Germany, and while we
have no objection to Germans having
enough to eat, it would come with
poor grace for anybody to ask us
to cut down our rations in order
that they might have more, and it
would do little good if anybody did
ask it. Mr.. Barnes is in closer touch
with public sentiment in America
than is Mr.. Hoover.

THE SALVATION ARMY

THE Rotary Clubs of America
have done a worthy thing in
pledging to the Salvation Army
their support in the coming CAM
paign. AS in so many other in
stances, war has recast the Saliva
ton Army in the public eye. We
had seen it's little squads marching
through the streets, singing shrilly
to the accompaniment of a bass
drum, and we tossed pennies into
the tambourines, vaguely conscious
that the organization in some way
where. We now see those squads
searching the soldiers mind to dis
cover what he wants, and then get
ting it for them. We picture the
ing papers which none of us reads,
but serving hot doughnuts to our
fighters in the trenches and at the
camps. The judgment of the re-
turned soldiers is expressed in a
chorus of praise more nearly unani-
nous than opinion concerning any
other activity of its character.
For the present, the army will
devote its energies chiefly to well
fare work among soldiers and
sailors. Abandonment of the work
that has been carried on for more
than fifty years in the slums is not
indicated by an announcement from
New York headquarters, but atten-
ton to the immediate problems
created by the rehabilitation of
thousands of fighting men is evil
IDENTIFY rated the first duty. The pre-
cedence given its service in the
trenches will be applied to the
armys present work. Tambourine
collections will be made no more, it
is announced, because the officers of
the Salvation Army cannot spare the
time from their enlarged duties. In
stead, an annual drive" for funds
will be instituted. Next month the
American public will be asked to
contribute S12,00O,000.
1t would be difficult to exagger-
ate the very great good the Saliva
ton Army has done and can vet do
for the soldiers and sailors. Its
workers dig for the root of discon-
tent and unhappiness and apply the
remedy there. Their success has
been so remarkable and it is so emf
nently we'll worth carrying on that
the public cannot afford to be in
different. Generous response is due

Iteresting. They make speciality of
the great freight wagons and carts
that are typical of the Sinaloa reg
iions-particularly in the mining and
agricultural regions, using the native
woods in doing so. The massive
hubs for the great wagons are turn
ed out from strong, massive trunk
of a tree which grows just the right
diameter, and the hub is turned while
the wood is yet green, then laid away
to season one year and half before
it is made up into wheels. Were the
wood laid aside to dry it would
check and crack, but in boring it out
for the axle and morticing it for
spokes, air gets through it from all
sides and it dries evenly, saving and
preventing any checking or cracking.
Another interesting wood is what
is used in making felloes for the
wheels, which wood takes a natural
bend in the tree, and with very little
trimming fits into its place in the
wheel almost as if it had grown
there. Four of the pieces make
wheel rim. The spokes are turned
from another native wood, and thew
are strong, tough and durable.

plant that it justifes would require

SOME FINE POINTS

| Yesterday the Superior Court,
Judge Pattee of Tucson, sitting IN
the place of Judge w. w. O'Connor,
was engaged in hearing demurrer
u transaction in garbanzos in the state
Jof Sonora.
: The case is entitled Jose T. Otero
ct al VS.. Banco de Sonora, and the
sum claimed in the complaint is in
the sum of $4,000, in round numbers.
According to the pleadings the
iBanco de Sonora undertook to sell for
Otero a large quantity of garbanzos,
and has done SO. That was before
the revolution. Now Otero seeks to
collect payment
The proceedings yesterday went
more to the question of jurisdiction
than to any trial on the merits of the
case. 1t is conceded generally that
under certain conditions cases arising
in Mexico may be tried in the Uni
ted States courts, and the Mexican
government recognizes the binding
validity of judgments so obtained. /
But in this case contract is produced
and there is a clause in that which
provides that in case of litigation
arising Hereunder the action shall .
follow in the state courts at Hermo-
sillo.' But sthe plaintiff has become
a resident of Arizona, and that is
claimed gives. him right to sue in
the courts here. Then for number

turbances in Mexico the defendant
bank has not transacted business
there, and while legally it is domi-
cfled there, it is claimed on behalf

Of the country as much as is the
plaintiff, and on both absences it is

the defendant bank, which claims
that the suit should be brought at
