The Men in the Background

James T. Murphy is being ridden" pretty hard for the part he has assumed in the attempt knife" the million dollar hotel project It of judgment his part to accept position which any must have foreseen would be the role of scape- goat.

The Trial of Wilhelm

It is more and more evident that the former kaiser wl not go to trial The English people do not want him tried in. London-they do not want him there or in England at all They hate him and they are fair enough perceive that all English ideas concerning trials of accused persons would be violated in trial anywhere in Great Britain of the former emperor. Supposing there doubt of his guilt, presump- ton of his innocence there could be found in all England unprejudiced court and unbiased jury. A trial would be a farce it would be condemnation in advance of a man accused of infamous crimes
 Wherever he might be tried he would be found guilty for all the world is convinced of his guilt of the acts charged against him, his responsibility for crimes against humanity if not against the laws of nations. The invasion and the outraging of Belgium the sinking of the Lusitania the murder of Nurse Cavell the murder of Captain Fryatt, the thousands of wilfu murders of non- -combatants may be traced back to Wilhelm But all these crimes of sort the responsibility for which has been attached to an individual ruler of people. nation itselt has never been held crminally responsible, though when it has been conquered it has been made to damages in the way of indemnity.
 Napoleon's banishment not in the way of punishment for crimes committed. It was merely in- cidenta to precaution Europe found it necessary to take it's safety during the life of the Corsican
 Wilhelm deserves punishment and should be pun 
 is contrary to British practice which is founded British practice to punish people for the violation of laws which have not yet been enacted
 Wilhelm is despicable horrid character but he is nowhere regarded dangerous character The world safe against him; far safer than he is against the world. His life would probably be forfeit in Germany in any other country than Holland or perhaps Norway Sweden.
 No greater punishment could be inflicted upon him than that which he must suffer in every waking moment and it to him with overwhelming force whenever he is aroused from dream of his past glory and is again in consciousness of the depth into which he has fallen.
 Wilhelm loves the theatrical, and the trial would be the setting of the stage for him. It would make him a character unique in history. As prisoner in the Tower of London, he would become a figure in its long, dark tragic and not nglorous history in after years take his place along with the not al ways good but the strong, great characters to whom the tower became enforced habtation and fre- quently last habitation.
 Such a punishment could not be the degradation of the former kaiser against which protests have made He has already degraded himself to a point beyond which there is depth. His imprisonment in the historic tower his could only vate him, and give him a respectable place in history.
 It is far better to leave him in his Dutch obscurty with his thoughts, his recollections his for ner splendor.

Casa Grande Melons

The people of the Casa Grande valley are closing their first experience in cantaloupe growing with fairly satisfactory results There only about 500 acres planted There the effect of the usual lack of experience both in planting and in marketing and there were. certain unforeseen and adverse circum- stances which would have been guarded against with greater experience. Notwithstanding that though, there will, it is said, be losses but of the growers will reap profits
 It has been demonstrated though that melons of the highest grade grown there the salable and the growers have learned how they make money growing them. There will therefore be large acreage there next year. Situated mainline rail- road Casa Grande melon growers have advantage shipping facilities the growers anywhere of early melons for the eastern markets.
 That valley is coming the front much more rapidly than is generally supposed People who have not noticed it remember that region only part of a desert they saw there few years ago. and the of Casa Grande, struggling station at which trains sometimes stopped. but of which passengers more often had only fleeting glimpse.
 Casa Grande has been fortunate in the character of the people who have there within the last eight ten years and it's rapid upbulding has been largely due to their courage, foresightedness and energy.

The Monroe Doctrine and Mexico

The Verde Copper News recently urged as a req son for the organization of the League Nations the disturbed condition of Mexico the continued menace to the investments of foreigners and especially the attitude of the Carranza government the British and American oil interests. Not only were the in- vestments threatened but the threat went against the whole world by the deprivation of it of the pro- ducts of those rich oil fields concessions which had been accepted in good faith. In the opinion of the News, under world arrangement if the United States could not, with the agency of the Monroe Doctrine guarantee order in Mexico the of protecting foreign interests Great Britain the other powers of the league would do so promptly.
 There is thus raised a question concerning the proper use and effectiveness of the Monroe Doctrine which submit has neved been applied systema- scally We have invoked it whenever foreign aggres- sion upon American soil was threatened-against Great Britain France and Germany in turn and in every it was invoked effectively. But we have not always employed it for the purpose of preventing the provocation for aggression responsibility which we should also If the Monroe Doctrine can not control such provocation unfair to the rest of the world and worthless.
 The Doctrine was promulgated not for the protec- ton of the Latin- American and other nations on the Western continent We cared nothing at that time about their integrity or wel-being It was for the protection only of the United States against the re- suits to us of foreign aggression upon the western hemisphere. Our motive in promulgating the same as that behind city ordinance prohibiting the operation of powder mill in a residence district.
 The present administration probably would not have invoked the Monroe Doctrine in any circum- stances It has had occasion to invoke it against foreign aggression. though there is little doubt that but for the great war there would have been both British and German movement against Mexico un-

 all who try, We stand as one for all that breeds a

 seem garden filled with flowers We put price on manhood and the
 deeds that men can do: we love man that IS a man and

 lust of gold, But gorgeous sunsets gild the sky

 Rejoicing to Leave My Own

Get quit of your job, had been Tommy's sage advice. It would be sn- convenient and disagreeable for me to solved to do so. To throw down" my job and forget it, and let my employers worry, would have been an ordinary feminine trick, l was well aware. To leave without giving notice is one of woman's queer little ways in business one which makes employers believe that woman's labor is less reliable than man's-and therefore should be paid less.
 But l had been taught that when a woman undertakes a mans job she ought to try for success with a mans spirit. 1 sincerely hoped that I would never be an employed woman again, but 1 was jealous for the reputation of my sex in the working world. 1 wanted to be as square as a man.
