By the mush heads and now by the
violent minded between which there
is little to choose--lhat fearless patrio'
tic and true exlressiou OF American
ism such as Glvernoor Allen has ist
given US comes like a refeshing and
invigoratiug breeze waited bv ,ne so'rt
Of Theodore Roosevelt himself. L-t's ;
hear it again:
Once and Tor all it must BE-
understood that the powers Of the
state now summoed into action for
the protection Of its people, are
above and beyond those Of any as
sociation or oganiz,tion, whether
OF capital or OF inividuals.
That's what Americans have been
waiting 10 hear, and almost have des-
paired Of heraing, in the unchecked and
rising chorus that has taken its key
from the pipings OF iuternationalism,
world brotherhood and Iatuous idealism
that has supplanted the defiant and un-
compromising note Of nationalism and
Americanism in the government al
Washington
The long course Of trucking and
ducking to interests and lorces that
are not American and can have moth
ing in common with America or its in
stitutions, has bore its lruitage, From
a foreign policy that always put
America second it was consistent and
inevitable result that we should have
a domestic policy that yielded the
sovereignty and the powers OF gov
eminent to the entertainments and
claims Of arrogant and selfish private
interests.
Never before in the history Of this
government have the purposes OF gov
eminent end democracy been so boldly
and insolently challenged at home and
abroad as they are now being challenged
Americans are being murdered and
robbed abroad and frozen ard starved
at home with equal impunity, and by
forces equally destructive Of our democ
racy and the purpose for which it was
established.
Governor Aliens voice is sounding
again the note rarely heard since the
manly and patriotic voice Of Theodore
Roosevelt was s,iled. He reminds US
again what this government is for and
why it was clothed with the powers it
possesses. The first and highest iunc
tion Of government is the protection Of
the people from whom governmet
draws its being. Government can tol'
crate no domestic power greater than
its own. The government that does SO
is doomed and its people are Ios'. Is
the power Of govelnment--the power Of
organized society whose agent govern
ment is-supreme in America today2
That is the question Governor Allen
asks. The response TO it ought to be
such that the challenge that has been
sounding unrebuked all over this land
will hush itself, il not in shame, then

sickly sentimental internationalism TO

that tells every trouble maker who

STATE LEGION LAYS PLANS
 TO BROADEN ITS WORK

With "Americanism" as the official state motto of the organization, and the guiding star for the future ac- tivities of the men who served in the great war, the newly elected state ex- ecutive Legion held it's first meeting in Phoenix and laid plans upon which will be built the largest and strongest organization of service men ever seen in the Southwest.
 Attending the meeting were: An drew J. Martin, of Tucson, state com mander; D. A. Little, of Florence, acting state adjutant; Oscar Ruggles, of Phoenix; A. J. Detloff of Bisbee, George H. Meyers, of Flagstaff; and R. M. Alton, of Clifton, members of the executive committee. Walter U. Sandberg, of Yuma, state vice com mander, and George w. Nilsson, of Prescott, members of the executive committee, were unable to be present.
 The utmost harmony, the most defi- nite intention to so conduct the organ ization as to make the greatest possi- ble force for real progress in the state and nation, was evident throughout the meeting. No sectionalism, no pol itics, no personal stuff, just plain, honest-to-goodness patriotic Ameri- canism was the keynote.
 One of the first matters to, be taken up by tEe committee was the state headquarters, which is to be located in Phoenix, and where the state adju- tant will be permanently stationed
 For this purpose it is the intention of the Legion to erect here a suitable building. The state commander, An drew J. Martin, was authorized to ap- point a committee on the building project, to devise ways and means and raise tho money necessary. The com mittee will have a member from each county, and will report to the next meeting of the executive committee, to be held here October 12.
 The state adjutant was not selected, but it was decided to set his salary at $200 per month. Applications for this position will be received by the state commander up to August.
 Louis s. Douglas, post commander of the Jerome Post, was appointed state finance officer. He is the son of J. s. Douglas. Ed Carroll, yard master at Winslow, was appointed as sergeant-at-arms. Tom Egan, of Bis bee, was appointed to be state histo- rian of the Legion. Egan is secretary of the Bisbee Chamber of Commerce.
 Copies of the proceedings of the state conference at Tucson and the constitution adopted there will be or dered printed and a copy sent to every member of the Legion in the State.

MAY RETURN CAPTURED FLAG

Kentucky's battle-scarred flag, car ried by pioneers until they surren- dered to the British and Indians at the Battle of the River Raisin, in Michigan, in the war of 1872, may be returned from England, where it was taken when the British army departed from America.
 The Kentuckians' battle standard, on which is written part of the states motto, United We Stand,' is the em- blem which Major Sir Evelyn Wrench, one of the founders of the English Speaking Union, recently discovered in the chapel of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London, along with other captured flags. Gov. James D. Black says he will seek it's immediate re- turn.

sCOUNDREL STILL ENHANCED

It is ardently to be hoped that the recent dispatch reporting the capture of Enver Pasha in some remote corner of Trans-C -Caucasia is true. With the exception of his accomplice, Talaat Pasha, no greater scoundrel ever lived unhanged. He was the real head of the Turkish government which, with unconscious irony, called itself for a time the committee of union and progress. The control was in the hands of Enver, Talaat and Djimal. Together they were responsible for the massacre of perhaps million Ar menians, Syrians and Greeks.
 Enver was the brains of the crime 1; the others were the brutal directors of its execution. The three wholesale murderers have been denounced by the presnt sultan and he has hanged one of their accomplices. If Enver is not tried and executed by the now cringing Turkish government, he should be dealt with by the allies. MT. Morgenthau describes Enver thus:
 "His nature had a remorselessness, lack of pity, cold blooded deter imitation, of which his clean cut, and handsome face, his small but sturdy figure, and his pleasing manners gave no indication"
 Enver and his accomplices betrayed their country into the hands of the Germans. Enver, in particular, sim ply drove the Turks to war without authority to act for them. When de- feat and disgrace came, Enver and Talaat fled, after first robbing the treasury of many millions of dollars. They were mean scoundrels as well as rnurderers on a colossal scale.

LIEUT.. O'NEILL ARIZONA'S SECOND
 ACE DOWNS ELEVEN HUN PLANES

"Unofficially he downed five other Hun rlanes.
 "The young officers most thrilling encounter was with the celebrated German flying circus, commanded and trained before his death by the great aviator, Richtofen. The combat oc- cured on July 6, when O'Neill and another American aviator sallied forth against the eight German air planes flying ten miles from the lines. O'Neill sent the first German to his death after they had been in contact ten minutes, and his compan- ion accounted for another Hun almost immediately afterward. The six re- maining Hun planes tried to close. in on O'Neill, and when his two guns jammed, according to his own account, he thought he was doomed. But by skillful maneuvering he managed to make the American lines and the Ger mans gave up the pursuit.
 "O'Neill's first combat with the first pursuit group of the AZ Aero Squad ron, to which he was attached, was on May 6 at Foul, where he got his first German. On June "A, with an- other aviator, he attacked thirteen Hun planes and managed to get one of them and make his way clear in safety.
 "Most of Lieut.. o'Neill's flying was done in Neiuport machine, although in the last stages of the war he used a Spad.
 "The aviator, whose home was for merly at Nogales, Ariz., is now con- nected with the Hercules Powder Co.,, attached to the San Francisco office. He declared that powder for commer- cial purposes is all he ever wants to see again."
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-01

ing the period of hostilities. In the northern army during the Civil War the number was about ten. Among the other great nations in this war, between 20 and 25 in each 100 called to the colors were killed or died. To carry the comparison still further American losses in this war were rela- lively one-tenth as large as in the ranks of the enemy or among the na- tions associated with us.
 The battle casualties for the Amer ican expeditionary forces are as fol- lows:
 Killed in action, 34,1SO; died of wounds, 14,729; total dead, 48,9O9.
 Severely wounded, 80,130; slightly wounded, 110,554; wounded, degree undetermined, 39,400. Total wound ed, 230,074.
 Missing in action, 2,ol8; taken pris- oner, 4,434.
 Grand total of battle casualties, 286, 6,330.
 The total direct costs for all the nations engaged was the almost in- conceivable sum of $186,000, ,000, ,000 of which the allies, including the United States, spent s123, ,000, ,000, ,000 and our enemies $63,000, 100000.
 The war cost the United States con. siderably more than S1,000,000 ar, hour for over two years. The direct cost was about 00,000,000, or nearly enough to pay the entire cost of running the United States govern ment from 1791 up to the outbreak of the European war. In addition to this expenditure, nearly S10,000, ,000,- 900 has been loaned by the United States to our allies.
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-01

An interesting account concerning Lieut.. Frank O'Neill, fourth American Ace, appears in San Francisco news paper. O'Neill, whom this paper now claims to be a "San Francisco man. has lived all his life so far in Ari- zona, going to the colors from No gales.
 An interesting feature is that he is the second ace from Arizona to be counted among the first four in the United States, the late Frank Luke ranking as second ace and O'Neill ranking as fourth, not bad for "Old Arizony" at that.
 The account says:
 "To send eleven German airplanes down to flaming destruction; to bat tie single handed against squadrons of eight and thirteen when single error of judgment meant instant death; to participate in six of the greatest battles of the world war, in cluding Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, and the Argonne-these things are as nothing to boast about, according to Lieut.. Ralph A. O'Neill, ranked as the fourth American "ace' and now a San Franciscan by residence and choice.
 "Lieut. O'Neill, who is living at the Oxnard Apartments, in Larkin street, with his wife, the daughter of a Brit ish navy captain, whom he met in London, was three times decorated with the Distinguished Service Medal, and also wears the French Croix de Cuerre and palms.
 "Lieut. O'Neill is officially credited with six Hun planes-one for every month in which he was in action on the Western front.

FRANCE OWES 40 BILLIONS

French loans to other nations of Europe have left the nation in a weak position in some respects, for the Rus sian and Turkish loans are not even paying interest.
 The war has changed France from a creditor nation to debtor nation, so far as present income is concerned. Prior to the war France had lent to other countries and industrial enter prises outside of the nation 8 billion dollars. Much of this was to Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey, and these loans are yielding no return to France now.
 On the other hand, France, from August 1, 1914, to March 31, 1919, has voted credits of $34, ,300,000 for military and civil purposes. Today France is obliged to raise not less than BIZ billion dollars to pay it's an- nual expenses. The total estimated debt of France is about 40 billion dol lars, or about $1 900 per capita. The estimated public wealth of France is a little less than $1 800 per capita.
 France needs raw materials and machinery at once if industry in that country is to resume it's earning and producing capacity. Railroads and canals need to be restored and repair ed. Only by large scale production can the nation hope to solve the press ing financial problems.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

A schoolboy in London turned this in as a composition on Christopher Columbus:
 Columbus was man who could make an egg stand on end without crushing it. The King of Spain sen, for him and asked him:
 "Can you discover America?"
 "Yes," said Columbus, Eff you will give me a boat"
 He got his boat and sailed in the direction that he believed America was. The sailors mutinied and insist. ed there was no such place as Amer. ica, but presently the pilot came to him and said:
 Columbus, land is in sight"
 Well, it's America" Columbus then said.
 When the boat neared the shore Co lumbus saw groupsof natives.
 "Is this America?" he asked them "Yes," they replied.
 q suppose you folks are Indians ?' Columbus went on.
 "Yes," the chief answered, land are you Christopher Columbus 2"
 "I am."
 The Indian chief turned then to his companions and said:
 "The jig is up. We are discovered at last"

HIS SYMPATHY

It isn't exactly a common occur renee to find a man standing in 8 public highway holding a ram by the horns, and the passer-by was inter- ested.
 "Will you please hold on to this beast while l climb the fence and open that gate?" asked the man politely.
 Certainly" replied the stranger; and he did so.
 'Thanks!" said the man from the other side of the fence. "The brute at- tackled me an hour ago, and we had been struggling ever since. But as long as you hold his horns he can not hurt you. And wish you the same luck in getting away as I've had"
