Wc arc in the war because we have come at last, contrary to our own wishes, contrary to what Ave believed five years ago anybody could ever prove to ns, to believe that a great nation of the world has deliberately set, itself to the violation of every principle of humanity, every prin ciple of democracy, and to the setting of itself in a place of autocratic ambi tion and of selfish advantage which only the history of Oermany at last can disclose or can vindicate. Herbert L. Willett. THE "ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 7, 1018 The Packers' Investigation It is not an uninteresting comparison, that be tween the process of search and seizure under the espionage ai t and search and seizure by the govern ment of papers and documents supposed to prove the guilt of the packers. The crime or crimes of which they are accused are more serious, more far-reaching than many which have been disclosed by the investi gations of the operations of small so-called traitors. , The latter usually consist of a small group of I. W. W. who are only making nuisances of themselves and are incapable of accomplishing any real harm. Their conduct is seditious but it produces no serious effect beyond their own small circles. It is annoying to normally patriotic people but nothing more. We are speaking now only of these windy groups and not of those others which aro capable of great harm to the nation, which plan the destruction of property, giving aid and comfort to the enemy and the serious obstruc tion of the government in its conduct of the war. Hut we doubt whether any group of treasonable persons is capable of doing as much real injury to the country at this time as this powerful packers' combine, and whether any other group is doing as much harm if, as is alleged, the packers are doing the things of which they are accused, if they are actually limiting the supply of food so as to control prices, and if they are engaged in a conspiracy to violate the federal laws. The espionage act was passed to meet an emer gency, and certainly here is an emergency which must be met and cannot be met by the ordinary processes we have for dealing -with offenders against the laws. This is not the first time charges against the rackers have been prosecuted, but these prosecutions have hitherto failed. While they have never estab lished the innocence of the accused, or left pre sumption of their innocenee, but, on the contrary, left little moral doubt of their guilt, there was always lacking the necessary evidence to establish that fully. That evidence, if it existed, was to be found in private, incriminating papers and agreements, and it is that evidence that the prosecution is now after. If those papers may not be seized and used SKainst the defendants if they contain evidence against them, the government should cease its cru sade against the weak, foolish groups of I. W. W. and small and weak conspirators. It is not to be assumed in advance that the packers are guilty, but they are charged and they are facing such an in vestigation as never confronted them before. There was never before a time when the public interest so demanded that their guilt or their innocence should be established and that insistence is so great that all technicalities and pretexts which usually cloud investigations of this kind should be swept aside. A Real Estate Deal As a financial investment, the war, if completely won by either side, would be a very poor one. It the central powers should win and make their own terms of peace, and annex all the territory they are suspected of coveting, it would be the highest priced real estate that ever changed hands since Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite ground at Machpelah for Sarah's grave. It is said that the war is costing this country $24,000,000 a day. It is costing Great Britain still more. Add to that the cost to France and Italy. Add to this the great destruction of prop erty on land and sea, and then wc will be furnished incomprehensible figures of the cost of the war. It is a staggering unreasonable total against any area of land that can change hands as a result of the war. Dr. Dcrnburg, late German colonial minister, re cently touched on the real estate rhase of the war in a speech at Frankfort-on-thc-Main, wh-n he attacked the war prolonging aims of the Fatherland party nnd "poured ridicule on the Pan-German demands for annexation and indemnities." He spoke especially of the demands that the end of the war should find the Germans in possession of the French mineral pro ducing regions of Longway and Briey, which have a probable value of $750,000,000. That, said Dr. Dern burg, is the cost of the war to Germany for about twenty-five days. The Germans ha fe two objects in the war, terri tory and world-power, and for these for more than three and a half years they have poured out enough money to buy a continent. They have "wasted man power without Etint and they have withdrawn from wealth-producing activity the hands of millions. How they divide the dividends from these investments be tween real estate and world-power we do not know, but undoubtedly they count the latter much the greater. - As to the financial war aims of our allies, we do not know. Italy, of course, expects the return of Italia Irredenta, but that strip around the head of the Adriatic is not worth nearly as much as Italy has expended. France desires, beside the freedom of northeastern France, the return of Alsace and Lor raine, but all this territory is not worth nearly what France has already paid for the war. Great Britain, in the event of the success of the Allies, would be the gainer of German colonies, but at a ruinous cost, if nothing else was gained. The Allies, however, disclaim any other object of the war than the security of themselves against Germany. They ask only for the restoration of their own, and incidentally for whatever territory may come to them in the settlement. But if they could be assured, ftiey say, of security they would waive the settlement. The United States, alone of all the belligerents, has nothing to ask and everything to give. It wants and can have no gain of territory, it wants back none of the great cost of the war. That is all freely given. It is an investment, though, wnlch is made in the hope of a dividend for the future, not in terri tory, nor in world power, but a perpetual peace for its children and its neighbors' children throughout all the world. The Doom of the Doughnut The Providence Journal has heard strange rumors from Washington to the effect that the good old fashioned New England doughnut has won the hearty disapproval of the food administration and that a ban is about to be placed upon its production. In the doughnut, it is alleged, are wrapped all of the in iquities of waste the food administration is com batting. The addition of sugar or fats to the dough in making bread or rolls during the baking or after wards has already been condemned by the bakers, and so we take it that the bun will shortly go into the limbo of recollections of the things that were along with the ' bun" which is acquired in states which have been swept by prohibition. There are various other sweetened breads with which we may have to dispense so far as the public bakeries are concerned. The call for the conserva tion of sugar and fats is becoming increasingly stren uous. Personally we shall not mind the absence of the bun, but the ban against the doughnut will be a stroke at a n established institution. The anti doughnut move will be a severe Mow. No doubt it is inspired by patriotic motives rather than by preju dice, but the doughnut is a simple and harmless thing after all, and it is to be feared that counsel for the defense, if such there were in the judicial deliberations, failed to plead its case adequately. Doughnuts, it has been claimed, sokt: up fats that we do not need. That may be the case as of too many doughnuts. But when properly made and expertly fried the amount of fat they soak up is negligible. The process calls for a generous amount of fat, to be sure, but it should not represent much waste. Doughnut fat, as we remembeV, can be used over and over, again. But if the experts have spoken we sup rose there is not much help for it. A good many of the comfortable little things seem to be going out of our lives. Competent authority, even before we got into the war, had denounced pie for breakfast, and now, as a war measure, we are confronted .by the doughnutless breakfast. Again we refer to General Sherman's observaticn concerning war. DON'T NEGLECT HOME CHARITIES In the long run. legitimate war charities should not affect the contributions to home charities. There are never exactly enough contributions to home char ities and there is always the type of person who is blind to their appeal and is attracted to more spec tacular misery. When the war began certain people accustomed to giving small amounts to the normal social agencies felt that they must retrench in their contributions for the sake of helping the Red Cross or investing in Liberty Bonds. On the other hand, various well-to-do and rich contributors not only gave to the war charities, but continued and increased their contri butions to the civilian charities, because the need for these has grown, due to the increased cost of living. ilore and more people are learning the art of giving. The home charity work is an essential part of a large war program. We need men for the nation now and hereafter, and it is being brought home to the world iat lack of vigor is a, widespread disease, to get rid of which we must look after infant welfare; must strengthen our weak groups; rehabilitate; do away with bad conditions; mitgate social injustice. It is not fair to ask our men to fight for de mocracy and then not maintain the democracy at home. Since we got into the war there has been a quickening of the social consciousness. '.Men, women, tiildren, energy, money we have to enlist them all for the sake of the Nation. Maude Radford Warren in the Saturday Evening Post.

Thompson is to get 25,000 trained women for nurses. She is superin tendent of the army nurse corps and exercises supervision over the navy nurse corpa.as jweU. EOT NO PBi IN STOCK SELLING Alleging that she was employed to sell stock and that no stock was fur nished her for sale, Miss St. E. Mes senger, through her attorney, B. E. Marks, yesterday instituted proceed ings against the Magma Queen Copper company and C. R. Bone, its vice-pres- luent, tor s.',090. Miss Messenger claims that the de fendants, after employing her, assured her from time to time that they would furnish her with Fhares and were in sistent that she take no other employment. For six months she alleges she held herself in readiness, during which time the defendant did not provide her with the shares. She values her time at $400 a month and states that the com pany paid her $312. She asks for the balance, with interest at the rate of 6 per cent. o MECHANICS TO BE REGISTERED -,i,itii f3y HV ..V-SglgiB rUUMLm MUFFINS iiissv nri if Responding to the appeal of the nation for 250.000 artisans and me chanics for service in the building Of the manv Shins neerlnrt in tti. war plans of this government and her allies, Governor Hunt yesterday issued a proclamation calling upon the mechanics of Arizona to respond to the appeal of the nation and to enroll in their corfntry's service in the shipyards The proclamation is as follows: Whereas, the United States Ship ping Board, the Department of Labor and the State Councils nf nefense have jointly undertaken to enroll two hundred and fifty thousand artisans I and mechanics for service in the Government shipyards, under the name of the United States Shipyard Volunteers of the? Public Service reserve ; Whereas. T. J. Croaff, Federal Di rector of the United States public service reserve for Arizona, is co operating with the government and the council of defense in the enroll ment and classification of the skilled workmen required by the nation in the present crisis; Whereas, the United States gov ernment, without this great industrial army ready to take its place as the need for labgr grows more urgent, cannot carry out effectively the ship building program on which hangs the late of our armies and our allies in Europe. Now, therefore, I. Geo. W. P. Hunt, governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby earnestly appeal to the known pa troitism and public spirit of the work ers of Arizona to respond as readily as possible to the nation's first need, which, at this time, is the building of ships with which to win the war, and, consequently, the co-operation of skilled labor in the work of ship construction. In thus enrolling for future service in the government shipyards the workers in the different classification of the public service for Arizona will be called to duty, under assurances received from the vice-president and general manager of the emergency fleet corporation, in such a way as, to disturb in the least possible meas ure the established industries of the state. In view of the foregoing, the work ers of Arizona are confidently relied upon by the government of the Unit ed States and the state to make such, response as will enable Arizona to furnish her just quota of men to the United States shipyard volunteers. All further information regarding the contents of this proclamation may be obtained by addressing inquiries to Federal Director T. J. Croaff. of the United States service reserve for Ari zona, 238 East Washington street, Phoenix. In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the capital, this Sth day of February, A. D.. 1st 8. (Seal) GEO. W.

IN MEMORIUM ; WHEREAS, It has pleased the Su pieme Commander of the Universe to summon to the ranks beyond ur com rade and brother, Captain Andrew Downing, and we are left to mourn loss which cannot be repaired. Of him to can be truthfully said, "He is a specimen of God's rarest and best handiwork," an honest man. When the black clouds of treason loomed in the political heavens and the starry banner was trailed in the dust, by hands, which upheld the Slave Mart and the overseer's whip, Andrew Downing laid his life on his country's altar, without any reservation or limitations. Mid the whir of shot, the scream of shell, and the whistle of the deadly minnie bullets, he stood for "One Country and One Flag," until the last armed traitor had grounded arms and returned to his allegiance. "When the cruel war was over" he came back to private life; rich in experience, gained in camp and field, and becme the able, kindly, patient, honorable citizen whom we knew and loved and whose memory we will cherish as long as God giveth us to live. "Peace to his ashes!" He had met death a thousand times on the battle field, surrounded by his comrades and buoyed up by their presence, and their ilm-intr tinrl vk,vi- frr n mnment Hid he hesitate or falter. And when he had grown old and his body worn ana weakened by weight of years and the wear of a strenuous life, he lay down alone and again faced the "Grim.Reap- er," with unflinching gaze and a smile on his manly, well-loved face. No better man has ever lived or died in this or any other land. A Patriot, a friend to the friendless, a father and comforter of the afflicted, downtrodden and unfortunates who came in his way, he was loved by all who knew him, No act of treachery, dishonor or un kindness ever stained bis life's es cutcheon. He lives among us yet ii the beautiful poems which he penned and the many acts of kindness he did. Ever cheerful and hopeful, under pain and affliction, his life was a high example and a benediction to all who knew him. We snail miss him ever, when w meet beneath the folus of "Old Glory. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, bv his comradon of J. W. Owen Post, That this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the Post arji copies be sent to the papers of the city and to his surviving relatives.
