THE WAR is OVER.

While the world is still waiting and
listening for the peace table TO ring
down the curtain on the negotiations
and is impatient for this final act OF
the drama to be enacted, at the same
time humanity at large has come to
recognize that the war is really over.
Business is not yet at normal state
and will not be for long time, yet
here in this country especially we have
come to feel that there can be no more
war. Men are fast returning to their
homes from overseas, and, as Life
saws this week in serious editorial,
they are fast getting married. and
looking back on the war period as
memory-a memory none will ever
forget who was in it. True, the peace
conference is apparently tagging. But
what of that? Is not the Importance
of the great undertaking enough to
warrant the care the members are TAX
ing with the memorable undertaking?
They are seeking to establish basis
that will make war impossible. Inter-
est in news from Paris is really on the
wane. Our American Congress is
making itself look foolish in the eyes
of the world, and, according to high
judges, no leader of dominant party
ever before made himself as much a
subject of criticism, not to say ridi-
Guile, as Senator Lodge. Many of the
topmOst men in the party look upon
his attitude as blunder. But all this
has nothing to do with the general feel
ing that the world is once more going
ahead and is willing for the peace
makers to finish their task in the best
way they can. Those poor boObs, Ger
many and Austria, are sure to take
their medicine and commence to learn
the better ways of life, and it will be
a good thing for them to be given the
opportunity. They have been thOrns
in the flesh of the world long enough.

Evening Post. 1t is always easy to get
favor or to oppose any conceivable
project, and if the Taft party had at
tempted no more than this its verdict
would not be worth attention. But the
noteworthy feature of all of the "rati-
fication conventions which Mr.. Taft
and his associates have been attending
is the prominence and the character of
the local members who have had part
in them. The names of those in charge
of the arrangements or on the program
in state after state are the cream OF
the states Who's Who. 1t is not a
threat, but a simple statement of fact,
that Mr.. Taft makes in his remark,
1.-THE decision now rests with the
American people, by whose judgment
in the last analysis the members of the
United States will be guided" Inter
esting confirmation of his view is af-
forded by a survey, "For President in
1920" appearing in the Oregon Voter,
from which we take two extracts
1.-THE mention of Taft arouses more
enthusiasm than does the name OF
Hughes largely because the League of
Nations idea is regarded as OF his Gre
alton and the further fact that he has
supported President Wilson's advocacy
of the league idea.
"SenatOr William E. BOrah of Idaho
is in bad because of his bitter opposi-
ton TO the League of Nations"

VILLAGE GOSSIP

What became of DR.. Brewster's
metal breastplate he developed just
periments with his wonderful inven-
ton were said to have been highly sue
cessful, the shield having withstood
rifle shots at short range, with a man
inside, with no appreciate effect ex-

was divorced from his wife, DR.. Mar
garet Brewster, who is still a practic-
ing physician.
Fires were lighted in several Pail
SADIE fireplaces last Sunday. The mer-
curry was down to "a degrees, and a
raw wind from the east set in with
drive during Saturday night, making
it essential for more covering for
those who spend their sleeping hours
with open windows. There was also a
little small rain that did not amount to
much. And then a few more light over
coats during the evening when the rain

The little Harry Clark baby, Lin
wood Russell, was baptized last Sunday
at the Palisade Church. The little fell
low behaved most amiably and de-
lighted his many admirers. What a
beautiful ceremony is infant baptism.
The parents take a vow unto them
selves that they will instill into him
through life the principles of Christian
faith that they will tutor him in right
ways and minister unto his youthful
days all of the spiritual soul that is
needed to guide the young into proper
channels. 1t is a solemn moment and
Il responsibility that is not properly
appreciated always
Most of the home boys who are at
tending church now are without their
uniforms. The war is over.
-"All of our boys are now back from
the war;" said Paul II. Brady last week.
"Joe was the last one to come in this
week" The latter is nephew. Paul,
his own son, he said, was mustered out
of the air service in California two
weeks ago and is now motoring home
across the continent with friend.
Paul has now gone through the work
of becoming practical aviator, and
the news comes that he has been flying
for some time. Until now, however,
Paul was never high fiier."

Glenn and Ralph Hacker left last

GERMAN DEFEAT DECISIVE.

The psychology of the Hun continues
to engage the attention of observers in
America and abroad. 1t holds the Sc
cret of what is the matter with Ger
many and the explanation of the
causes which brought about the world
war;
The mind of the Hun still functions
in the old channels, as evidenced by
reports from COblenz that Germans
there are growing more insolent and
do not feel that they are a conquered
people, but that they are negotiating
on equal terms with the allies. This
was the attitude taken by BrockdOrf-
Rantzau at the Versailles conference,
doubtless for Interior motives. What
ever else the count may be, he is at
least a man of intelligence and he
knows as well as the war lords know
that Germany was beaten, that she is
not in position to dictate terms to
her conquerorS.
Yet there are doubtless millions of
Germans who still believe that the Ger
man armies were never defeated in
battle. Any other people on the face
of the earth would have faced the facts
long ago, but not the Germans. Wheth-
er the treaty is signed or not, the pain
full truth will soon be forced upon them,
with what result to themselves and the
allies remains to be seen.
However, such eminent authorities
as General Won Ludendorff and General
Won Hindenburg have acknowledged
defeat. Even the former crown prince
stated some time ago to interviewers
that he knew when the Jig was up.
Surely these worthless have lost their
hold on the German imagination.
There was a time when the words that
fell from the lips of such demigods as
Won Hindenburg and Won Ludendorff
were accepted as gospel. Now, appar-
emily, they are not believed.
Won Hindenburg and Won Ludendorff
were not really beaten. For some rea-
son they merely think they were, so
keep up the good work at Versailles
and be as impudent to an American
soldier in the army of occupation as
that patient young man will permit!

AN AMAZING MESS.

If the United States senate carries
through the program outlined in Sen
atOr KnOX's resolution it will set up
the purely selfish side of the war. 1t
will prove that there is something else
more worth while than patriotism, and
that partisan politics is above mere
love of country. Most of the biggest
Republicans in the country favor the
peace treaty and what goes with it,
Why should the United States senate
at this time play into the hands of
Germany and practically unite them?
The whole miserable mess at Wash
we believe will be swept aside when
the treaty is signed.

LAST BURGLARS ARE CAUGHT!

After a long series of burglaries in
Palisade Officer Joseph Rosenstengel
had the distinguished honor of captur-
ing two young thieves in open daylight
last week after they had been scared
out of a local minister's home. The
officer was mounted on a wheel and,
seeing the fleeing youths when his at
tention was called to them, made after
them, with the fine result that they
were taken in quickly. The Palisadian
has long held that better police protec-
ton is needed and that every man
should be mounted ON wheel night
and day. We need more police and
more wheels.

TAFT AND THE LEAGUE.

are blast furnaces and steel mills, with accessory plants, and a thriving city of forty to fifty thousand. On a recent visit the viceroy, Lord Chelmsford, said he could hardly imagine what they should have done during the four years of war If the Tata company had not been able to supply steel rails, not only for India, but also for Mesopotamia, Egypt, Palestine and East Africa In honor of the founder the name of the place was changed from Sakchi to Jamshedpur
 The iron deposits of India probably rank first in the world in purity of ore and in antiquity of working, but the great drawback to modern smelting practice has been the want of limestone for fluxing purposes. They are to be found in every part of the country. and the native method of smelting yields a metal of the finest quality in a form well suited to their needs, but hitherto it could not compete in price with iron imported from England. Coal also is found in every province and native state except Bombay and Mysore If the manufacturing difficulties have been overcome, such supply of coal and ore with cheap labor ought to re- suit in establishing the iron and steel industry on a modern and permanent basis. One of the most remarkable monuments in India is the Iron Pil- lar at Delhi, consisting of a solid shaft of wrought from sixteen inches in diameter and twenty-three feet eight inches in height. It was brought from Muttra- near Agra, in 1852, but dates about 400 A. D.. and how the people could have produced such a work at that time is a mystery

BIND AND GAG OWNER IF STORE AND THEN
 ROb TIE PLACE IF S93

Auto bandits Friday night entered the Persian store at the Base line and Tempe canals and after binding and gagging the proprietor, rifled the store of s93 in cash and two dozen cans of fruit. Two men and one woman par ticipated in the theft.
 The bandits drove up in front of the store shortly before o'clock Saturday morning and hailing the proprietor, asked that they be sold some gasoline The proprietor replied that he would be unable to give the necessary supply before morning, whereupon the men requested that the proprietor sell them some groceries.
 This appeal brought response and when the Mexican proprietor opened the front door of the store, he found himself covered with four six shooters, each man being armed with two re- FolyerS
 The bandits made quick work of binding and gagging the proprietor and then proceeded to rifle the store. It was an hour later before the Mexican secured his release and sounded the alarm.
 Deputy Sheriffs Troutman and Wes- colt investigated yesterday, but were unable to find any clues of material benefit.

AGED PR0SPECTOR'S
 HUNT FUR LOST MINE
 NEARLY FATAL TO HIM

Broken in health and spirit, George Miller, aged Maricopa county prosoec- tor, was found in a semi conscious condition at Blackberry Springs at the 1oot or Superstition mountains yester- day morning. He was brought to this city by Deputy Sheriffs Troutman and Wescott.
 Miller Is one of many old prospec- tors who has looked in vain these many years for "The Lost Dutchman" mine one of the famous old legends of that stately mountain that serenely overlooks the desert
 For five years, Miller has been pros- pecting in Superstition for this mine Many times he has nearly perished rom thirst as a result of his quest. On this, his last trip, he stated that he was gong to find the mine or going up there to die"
 The story of the Lost Dutchman" mlne IS given credence by many of the old proSpectors of the valley. Many have perished in an effort to find this treasure of gold, where nuggets 'are s big as mans fist" Others have be- come mentally unbalanced through thelr months, yes years, of solitare search.
 TWO soldiers, in the early days of Ar1zona, deserted from Fort Mcdowell. the story goes. They went into Super stt1on and there located the famous mine of gold. A fight ensued and one of the men was killed, the survivor oelng Dutchman For years be brought great nuggets to Phoenix all ways keeping the location of his treas use house secret. Even on his death ped some years later he did not dis close the whereabouts of this famous pot of gold.
 And since, prospector after prosnec- tor has gone in vain search of inc mine. More than a score have given thelr lives searching, ever searcbine for The Lost Dutchman'' treas1Ire hole.
 Prospector Miller was another who was bent on victory or death." A suf- 1erer from Bright's disease. he was in greatly weakened condition when he lett for Superstition two months ago Nothlng was heard of him for weeks and a wayward traveller. a Mexican came upon his seemingly lifeless form yesterday.
 His condition is regarded as serious He will be taken to a local hospital for treatment

SEVERE BROUGHT IN HAWAII
(Portland Oregonian)

Hilo, Mawaii.-A drought on the is- land of Hawaii, the worst known since 1899, has resulted in an acute beef shortage on this island, which produces a large part of the meat consumed in the territory. There is no hope that the drought will be broken this year, as the rainy season is already past. Many cattle on the high ranges are too weak to walk and sheep and goats are reported dying by the thousands.
 The beef shortage in Hawaii must be met by increased importations from the mainland. The price of mainland beef, including cold storage, transpor- tation and carriage charges to the re- tail butchers is 2214 cents a pound. Island beef remains at IS cents but is subject to a raise.

CORN BORER IS
TO BE FOUGHT
Department of Agriculture Is
sues Warning in Regard to
the Dreaded Pests

Fred Rasmussen, Secretary of
meetings in Albany and Boston of
the Commissioners of Agriculture
of the various States to discuss the
control of the European Corn Borer
and to study the methods of con-
troll in operation in the infested
area says the European corn
borer, unless its spread is checked,
is likely to prove the most destruc-
tive of all insects to America. The
total value of the corn CROP last
year was three and one-half billion.
The European corn borer has
been found in sections surrounding
Albany and Schenectady. In the
vicinity of Boston, and recently in
three places in southern New
Hampshire.
The borer passes the winter in
the corn stalks and its eradication
in infested areas depends on the
complete destruction of all the
stalks. 1t has also been found that
when corn is not available the
borer will live in the stems Of
ferent plants up to the present
time have been found to satisfy it's
appetite. This makes the problem
OF eradication a most difficult one.
Every effort possible is being made
by the State and Federal govern
ment to eradicate this nest where
found. Experiments are being
made with liquid fire as we'll as
machines which will crush infested
material to a degree that will des-
troy the borer.
The infection Of fields in New
York State is estimated from one
per cent, to five per cent, while in
Massachusetts, fields are from one
per cent. to practically one hundred
per cent. infection.
The danger of the spread of this
disease is so great and the control
so difficult that resolutions were
adopted by the conference to ask
Congress to make an appropriation
of two million dollars for the con-
troll and possible determination of
the European corn borer.
Scouting for the European corn
borer has been done by representa-
tives of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture. Up to date
no infection has been found in this
State.

British Watching
Americans Secure
Trade In Germany

Cologne, Sept. 17.-British busi-
ness men have taken notice of the
strides made by Americans in ac-
Quiring trade in Germany. At a
meeting in Cologne recently of di-
rectors of the British Chamber of
Commerce for Germany, C. Knott,
of London, said:
America has more than 1,700
Chambers OF Commerce in all parts
of tho world. and these associated
chambers some time ago sent a dele
cation to Europe which visited CO.
logne and Berlin and departed with
Germany orders in fabulous
amounts. The goods are to be de-
livered at once on three years
credit. In this way the United
States is securing the lions share of
Germany's import trade. Such is the
result of the cooperation OF their
Chambers OF Commerce. I see no
reason why British Chambers of
Commerce cannot employ such
methods"
