A Case Too Big For a County

Cocfiise county is domain of great territorial extent but it is sparsely settled. We brought with this fact by the disclosure that it does contain enough qualified citizens to act jurors in the deportation
 We predicted many months ago that these prose cutions could nothing. We had in mind difficulty securing jurors. who would be disqualified by bias prejudice. We had in mind the utter mprobabity that a single jury could be found which could be brought Cochise county and for that matter of the whole state of Arizona, entertains opinion which evidence
 An unexpected and unexplained by the county attorney elmina some thousands of pros favorable the prosecution. At his suggestion, Judge Pattee ruled that the employees of the copper companies would be ineligible jurors. The said that though the copper companies were not on trial, that the doctrine of would apply in this many of the officials of the companies had been indicted and he would grant the motion of the county attorney.
 Thus there removed something of peril from the defendants. The loyal employees of the companies had most of them, participated in the deportation therefore already disqualified a jurors. There though. hundred ployers who, if members of the l. w. w.. sympathetic with them and wholly out of sympathy with the companies and the charged with the deportation.

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

There is liberty in Bolshevism. It has been tried conspicuously twice-in France in 1871 and gently in Russia. Informed people know that there liberty in the 1871 commune is there lib- erty in Russia today. Liberty neither for the Russian middle class for the Russian workngman.
 Ignorance begets bolshevism, while education and intelligence begets tpades unionism and the higher things that with trades unonism.-
 Whatever boshevism there is in the United States today is the result failure of eternal vig lance The poor oppressed, ignorant came to these shores in swarms and Americans took them matter of treated them like cattle thought to them at all. Little attempt made educate them, to enforce decent conditions of living among them to teach them the true mean ing of democratic liberty to gain their good will neghbors in common community Instead, greed given full rein exploit them. Thus, ignorance permitted to stew in it's rotten juices and it brought forth a dish of I. W. W ism and bol- Shevism.
 It is easy to why the country has thous ands and perhaps of thousands who foolishy fanatcay ready to throw themselves against the government of this land of freedom because the American people forgot eternal vigilance is price of liberty"

Let The Flow Be Free

What are we to say of the proposal of the Argen- tine government the free interchange of the prime necessities of life, reduce the high of living? Japan has accepted it and we do not think any other country offer good for not accepting it. There be possible excuse for laying things which the people need and for which they being bled.
 a many commodities are, much their scarcity that makes them high it is the manipulation of their prices made possible and easier by scarcity. If there free flow from the producer to the consumer, prices would be lower But it is possible in this low to dam the flow and release it in such quantities the manpu lators desire at the prices they themselves fix With a of necessary commodities, the profiteers could undertake control prices to consumers whether low would be natural, dependent the unsuspended law of supply and demand
 We will that government tempts presumably we'll meant, reduce the high cost of living has almost invariably bundered and has therefore created a revulsion public against further interference with trade The profiteers and maninators been quick seize upon sentiment they have protested in the the people against the destruction commerce
 But the free admission of the necessities of life would interference with nothing except prime instrument of the manipulators for raising and keeping prices.
 Here industry might be hurt that hurt, people a large would be benefited and certainly is essential that the whole people served than that few isolated industries should be sustained.

 It all depends upon many things. There is the possibility that the people will suddenly take a ton to be thrifty and to buy less than they have buying and then prices tumblns. Against such pressure as that there is no com bination powerful enough to keep prices

The publication by Viscount Grey the letter which he addressed to the president declaring that the Lodge reservations unacceptable Great Britain not have been quite ethical Vis- Grey might not have thought of that at all. Or again, he may have felt that long time had elapsed between it's transmission and the time he gave interview concerning it, that despaired any other way of making known the world what tried tell the president. If the was important and, it appears to be, it could not reasonably been expected that Lord Grey would keep forever locked in his breast He rightly that he had expressed ticularly did want made known.

 If that is the president and his followers senate further opposing the reservations. If they acceptable nations in the league, Americans whom they were designed guard complain them. The only element which should by views Lord Grey be the irreconclabes may in them confirmation what they suspected all along that the reservations adequately safeguard America; proof is given of the folly entering into league at all

OUR HUMAN WEAKNESSES

I wouldn't give three whoops for a man whose heart did not beat faster. whose eyes did not take fire, and whose spirit did not swell-who would not be moved to laughter or to tears by the voices of birds and children. by q song from the heart, by a woman's pleading, by noble oratory or noble act ing, by any human action through which the spirit in one speaks to the spirit in others. Our human weak nesses are often the secret of our sal vation. So loving life, I have always been impressed by the emotions of youthful. exuberant life which bring cheers, laughter and tears, and with out shame in any of them.

thousand Mennonites are to leave
Western Canada this year and move
to Mississippi, taking with them all
their worldly possession, estimated to
be worth more than $1O,000,000.
They are going because the Mani
toba and Saskatchewan governments
are compelling them to conform to
the educational standards of the two
provinces, by teaching their children
in English instead of in German. and
because they feel that if Canada
ever is embroiled in another war they
will be forced into military service.
