Washington was successful particu-
Iarly from a moral standpoint, as 1t
demonstrated the necessity Of our
participating in world affairs. Sec
retary Hughes won the admiration
and respect not only of the delegates.
but OF the entire world by the mas
terly manner in which he presented
Americas position ON naval disarm-
ament and the Far Eastern situation.
There is no question that unless some
agreement had been reached between
the United States and Japan, sooner
or later we would become involved in
a controversy that might be serious
to both countries. President Hard
ing and Secretary Hughes realized
this and did the safe and sane thing,
and in way that the people Of the
country should approve.
THE question of whether we are
going to participate in European af-
fairs IS most vital to the business in
terest OF our country. Our govern
ment Is invited take part in the eco
nomic conference at Genoa. Econo-
mic questions vital to our business
life will be discussed and hope Pres
ident Harding will accept.
Tn Paris at the Paris peace con-
Lloyd George promised France they
would submit to their respective
governments a plan whereby France
would be guaranteed protection
against future German aggression,
which you know was not accepted by
our government Our failure TO enter
into this plan is the chief cause OF
France taking the unusual position
she did at the Washington confer
ence and also at Cannes and her
present indifference toward the eco-
nomic conference to be held at Genoa
France is opposed to Russia par
ticipating in the Genoa economic
conference on the theory that IL Rus
sia should be strengthened financial
~ with her present uncertain politi-
cal administration. she might Join
Germany against France. France
wants to be sure that Russia has a
stable. dependable government be-
fore she joins other nations helping
her 20 develop her great resources.
IF il were true that we could get
the old world back on an even keel
by Joining Great Britain to protect
France against Germany. would II
be worth while? Many OF our people
believe that it is the only way In
which France VIII agree 10 land uls-
armement. and until the nations OF
Europe reduce their armies TO a peace
basis. the present chaotic condition
in Europe and the world will con-
tinue.
"The United States has taken a
new social and economic place in the
re- created world. not only as one OF
the great powers. but in reality as
the greatest economic power of all
Whether we like is or not, whether
we are to be drawn into entangling
alliances Of kept free from them--a
change has come and that indepen-
dence which. due to isolation. Amer
lea once had. is thing OF the past
AS to the present situation, the out
look would indeed be black IL we did
not know that Lincoln was right
when he said that nothing is ever
settled until it is settled right.

after tomorrow.
There ought to be not less than 5000 votes cast
then.
Then whichever candidates may be elected win

toes and to make and keep them good officials
When an official comes into his office with
majority Of a small turn-out at the polls by small
minority of all the voters can't blame him much il
he should be careless.
our officers are never better than the average
of the people or their community They have just as
much right to neglect their duties the voters have
ia neglect to vote for or against them.
This is another way Of saying what human ex-
nerience has shown generally to be true-eyery gov
ernment however rotten, is as good as the people
who live under it.
This is especially true Of governments which de-
rive their powers from consent Of the governed

Labor and Prohibition


member of organized labor complains to The
Republican of an Associated Press dispatch Of Mon
day and The Republicans comments thereon, tend
ing to give the impression that the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor is unfriendIy to prohibition and is
urging the relaxing Of the enforcement law.
That is true only of Mr.. Gompers and the execu-
tive council he says, but not OF the great body Of
organized labor which has not only favored but has
worked for prohibition in every state.
He recalls what we know to be fact, that or
ganized labor was great force and we believe the
deciding force in launching the prohibition movement
in Arizona 1913. Previous that time prohibition
in this state was regarded harmless joke. There
behind it only the prohbitionists, negligible
quantity far concerned votes and the churches
for the part only academicaly and perfunctorly
Meetings held from time to time, resou-
ons pointing out the evil the liquor raffice
adopted proclamations of paralysis against the
rum power were issued. These meetings were mildly
amusing topics in saloons.
Local option had been established in few places
in Arzona-in small towns where public sentiment
naturally strong against the liquor traffic that
saloons had been unable to thrive Large thinly
inhabited districts voted dry and the sale Of
liquor was prohibited in localities where nobody had
ever tried or wanted to sell liquor But the towns
and the mining camps apparently impregnable.
But in the spring Of 1913 another kind OF prohib-
ton meeting was held in Phoenix It was distin-
guished from all previous ones by the presence Of
regularly appointed delegates nearly every labor
organization in the state. The discussion Of the
liquor question was as different from previous
the membership of the convention was from that Of
earlier ones. The immortality Of the traffic
regarded as secondary matter. No solcitude
manifested for souls which were being dragged down.
1t vas not movement to snatch and keep souls out
of he'll, but to keep bodies from being wrecked by
alcohol. What later became Of the souls far as
immateral. Organized labor also believed that with
prohibition its work of further organization would
be facilitated
Secure as they fancied themselves to be- saloon
keepers were easily frightened and here change

for thought state politics had lately put organized
labor into strong position. 1t had recently demon
its power state and county elections 1t
likely in the circumstances to attract to any
ment with which it might identify itself with an
appearance of solidarity. elements which had hither
to not been friendly to prohibition
The movement grew, business joined it for
purely economic reasons. Some Of the large mining
companies encouraged it and less than two years
later, prohibition in Arizona was fact
We have always believed that but for the impe-
tus given by the participation of labor Arizona would

The interview concluded with paragraph his
tory Of the Farm Bureau movement which we learn
started local farmers organization, and became
a part of the Chamber of Commerce OF Broome
county, New York. But suspect that the inter-
viewer misunderstood Mr.. Howard when he de-
scribed the growth OF the organization and was
made to say, Now there twenty five counties
