Without a predetermined goal we arrive nowhere. Anonymous, A League of Nations Prnnahly the most Important statement In the very excellent and clear address delivered by Presi dent Woodrow Wilson at the opening of the fourth Liberty loan drive In New York was the one relative to the formation of a league of rations to preserve the peace. Just as a police force preserves the peace in a city made up of diverse classes and Interests. President Wilson makes it clear that no league of na tions can be formed prior to the meeting at the peace table because it Is necessary to have Germany in such a league in order to control that bandit plundcrbund. It seems to us that the heart of the president's statement is found in the two following paragraphs: "That price of Impartial Justice In every item of the settlement, no matter whose interests Is crossed; ltd not only Impartial Justice but also the satisfac tion of the several peoples whose fortunes are dealt with. That indispensable Instrumentality is a league of nations formed under covenants that will be effi cacious. Without such an Instrumentality, by which the peace of tho world can be guaranteed, peace will rest In part upon the word of outlaws and only upon that word. For Germany will have to redeem her character, not by what happens at the peace table but by what follows. "And, as I see It, the constiutlon of that league of nations, and the clear definition of its objects must be a part. Is in a sence the most essential part of the peace settlement Itself. It cannot be formed now. If formed now it would be merely a new alliance confined to the nrtlons associated against a common enemy. It Is not likely that it could be formed after the set tlement It is necessary to guarantee the peace; and the p's-ce cannot be guaranteed as an afterthought. The reason, to speak i plain terms again, why it must le guaranteed Is that there will be parties to the peace w hose promises have proved untrustworthy and means must be found In connection with the peace settlement Itself to remove that source of Insecurity. It would be folly to leave the guarantee to the subsequent volun- - tary action of the governments we have seen destroy Russia and deceive Rumania.' The address Itself as It appeared in full in The arliona Republican yesterday morning should be read by every true American. It Is easily one of the west Important documents to come from the war and jnless we are mistaken will be greatly discussed at heme and abroad for It answers more than one moot , luestlon. With regard to peace, for Instance, the president ys: "It is also of capital Importance that we should 19 be explicitly agreed that no peace shall be ob- talned. by any kind of compromise or abatement of the principles we hare avowed as the principles for t which we are fighting." That should be clear enough to anyone, even the Hun, Jt means no compromise with the powers of darkness which have actuated the Central Powers in - their carnival of International crime and that is as It should be, As Jroi!dent Wilson evidently sees It a league r-f nations to snforce peace must be more than an international polios with power to punish. It must he fnundsd ttpon Justice to all, even Justice to the enemy, to endure. Most of us feel that the kind of jutlioa we should like to hand to Germany and her friends wull contain remarks about boiling oil but It i vry evident that the President looks further than 1l immediate punishment of the foe for he hopes by e-ven-hanrted Justice to make It impossible for the Central Fewer ever again to toss such a weight of wee entej a happy world . The Publio be Damned" PlrtcfHf general W, Q, MeAdoo in a general order .q 1 fai)wa? smpleyea has taken cognizance of a Situation which, while infrequent, undoubtedly has -r"Cff "P In ma eases, It is' a situation in which railway employes adopt a patronizing tone towards .boe. traveling because the railroad man regards fclawc'.f a government employe and thus privileged. Another, silualian reeegnised Is that of the railway man who. excuses faulty service with the statement, : leis Ss U funning the railroads now." tccretsfv MsAdBa is of the type who deal directly :.&, thicss f f this kind and he does so in the follow ing jaRjuajs: rhatevtff fnar be the merits of these complaints, .hex ra attention to a Question which is of the utmpst jmpQifanee In the management of the rall rpaiis. foe maRy years it was popularly believed hat n !pnp)tc be damned' pelloy was the policy of .be. railroads under private control, Such a policy is (ndcJcnjible either under private or government con trol. It would be particularly indefensible under pub lic control when railroad employes are the direct errants of the priblie, 'The publlo be damned' policy witj In so circumstances be tolerated on the railroads under government control. Courtesy costs, nothing and when it is dispensed it makes friends of the public and adds to the self-respect of employes." There is quite a practical, little business sermon in the extract quoted. ''Courtesy costs nothing . , end adds to the self-respect of the employes." How many realize the truth of this? Many undoubtedly do not but the man who climbs high In the ladder of life Usually finds that living up to such a principle makes the climbing easier, P course we all knew about the testy captain tif Industry, It Is true he reached the top of the business tree but he probably barked his shins many times in the climb because of that same testiness. With regard to the second publio complaint, that of blaming shortcomings to the government, Mr. MeAdoo writes: "There are many people who for partisan or selfish purposes wish government operation of the railroads to be a failure. Every employe who is discourteous to the publio or makes excuses or statements of the kind I have described is helping these partisan or selfish interests to discredit government control of the railroads. "Recently wages of railroad employes were largely increased, Involving an addition to railroad operating expenses of more than $475,000,000 per annum. In order to meet this increase, the public has been called upon to pay largely increased passenger and freight rates. The people have accepted this new burden cheerfully and patriotically. The least that every employe can do in return is to serve the public cour- teously, faithfully and efficiently." There is food for thought in the last two para graphs. Railroad control by the government is a gigantic experiment in public ownership. It should at least be given a fair trial and petty annoyances often mar the result of a truly good management It Is safe to say that the warning of the director gen eral need be taken to heart by few of the railroad employes but those who do need the notice should always remember that the days when a "public office was a private snap" are not only numbered but the last number was issued years ago. Great Guns and Little Ones Assistant Secretary of War Crowell recently gave out some Interesting figures as to the scope of war work being done in his particular sector of this great department. Machine gun production has reached as high as 30,000 guns a month of which as many as 7,000 are heavy Brownings and 10,000 the smaller de sign of that great gun inventor from Ogdcn, Utah. Over 1,200 tractors are being turned out a month and something over 200,000 regulation rifles emerge from the factories every moon. They have made as many as 60,000 pistols and revolvers in a 30-day period and already 250 of the 155 millimeter howitzers are in France or on the way there. Powder and supplies are coming forth in proportion and by next summer Assistant Secretary Crowell says there will be enough of everything for an army of four million men In France. By January 1 it Is hoped that the American mu nition program will have duplicated the similar pro gram of Great Britain for Its twentieth month In tho war. All this is as it should be. Nothing done here can encourage the men at the front more than to know that men, more men, munitions, more munitions, are coming in the needed quantity. Nothing can dis courage the kaiser more than the same news and Just now none of us are doing much to cheer up the "All Highest" and his six unscratched sons. It is taking tremendous effort to accomplish what is being accomplished and it takes a tremendous fund to pay the bill, for workers must live. It is to I y this gigantic bill and carry out the great program which means peace to the world that YOU are asked to subscribe to the limit for the fourth Liberty loan bonds. "Fed Up On America" "And have you a little boy?" inquired the Scotch guide of the American physician' as they tramped the misty moors. ' "A little boy at school In America," replied the doctor. "I'm fed oop on America," announced the Scotch man and closed the subject with a snap of his mouth. This little incident is cited in the War Work Bulletin of the Y. W. C. A. It is a perfect example of Scotch frankness but It also has a warning to Americans which it is well to bear in mind. America has, Is and Intends to take a big part in the war. Her allies are doing likewise and in our pride at the wonderful accomplishments of our men we must not forget that there "are others." For long and weary years England and France have sustained the brunt of the greatest offensive ever waged In the history of warfare. England and France have been more than gen erous in their tributes to their new ally. They have shown themselves good sportsmen in every way but no one in America should forget that they have been fighting our battles nor take from them one lota of the credit they deserve. There is glory enough for all. EXPOSES WAR BOOK 0. K.'D BY CREEL Or. Claude H. Van True Charles D. Lanier, secretary of tha Review of Reviews, is credited with the statement that the book entitled "Two Thousand Questions and An swers About the War" has been withdrawn from sale and will be re vised. The book, published by the George H. Doran Co., by arrange ment with the magazine contains an introduction by Georfje Creel, head of the bureau of public information, in which Creel o. k.'s the book. Dr. Claude H. Van Tyne of the University of Michigan and editorial director of the bureau of education of the National Security league, has exposed the book as being full of Hun propaganda. Where the People I May Have Hearing I rj Beauty and Goodness All TtArfunt- rhl..-- i . beautiful, depending upon our indi- luates. i-ertection is moral or Physical excellence, and these charac teristics are beautiful. Order and harmony are marks that are pleasing to a well-ordered mind. Whatever is in its proper place and is fulfilling the purpose for which it was made is to some extent beautiful. Nature that has not been marred or spoiled by the hand of man, is everywhere filled with beauty. Ugliness Is the opposite of beauty. Dirt, disorder, imperfection, lack of harmony are ugly. Sin is dirt in the moral world, just as matter out of place is dirt in the physical world. All wrong actions are out of harmony with order and goodness.

Saloons have always been breeding places for sin, crime and POVertV thine. that sn niHir Wo are thankful to be rid of these breed ers or moral uncleanness in Arizona. It was once believed by many good people that flies were useful as scav engers. But this is not true; for their Work as SUCh is ton small tn Vio nf any value. What then is their pur pose in the world? I believe that the creator maoe llies as a protest against dirt and filth. They breed only in foul and decaying matter. In a per fectly clean earth flies would soon cease to exist, for they could not propagate, and their purpose would have an end. In thfi fifth rlianfAK t To,tl"e letter to the Gaiatians, are two lists of actions, those that are ugly and those that are beautiful. In the first group the works of the flesh, seven teen in number, acts that are ugly, unclean, sinful. In the second list is the fruit of Spirit: "Love, joy, peace, Jong-sufferins?,. gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control." All of these are beautiful. A number of these Christian traits of character blended into one are seen in an act of that brave and courtly soldier. Sir Philip Sidney, as he lay dying on the field of battle. When a cup of water was handed to him he refused to drink requesting that it be given to an other dying soldier who seemed to be still more in need. It should e our business to work for the destruction of ugliness, and to make the world around us more beautiful. And we must remember that beauty is both moral and physi cal. Health of body and mind is greatly affected by environment and especially is this true of children. Ugly pictures, junk piles and pig pens should be kept in the background as much as possible. School houses and hospitals should have clean and beau tiful surroundings, for these are con ducive both of health of body and soul. Harsh, discordant sounds increase nervous diseases; while pleasing music has a soothing effect upon sick per sons. So far as beauty tends toward good health and happiness, so far ls it in harmony with the will of God. When man reaches his perfect state, clothed in immortality, he will be beautiful in soul and body and good ness will characterize his moral na ture. JOHN K.

"Phc-enix Only Savings Bank" an D D Georgle, said mamma to have a trood laugh watch the expression of a little tot when trundling her first 'bruvver": Just quietly say, "Gracious! but that's a homely baby!" She may pout, may get angry, but In any event she will make a forcible demonstration, and sure take offence. As a little curly haired beauty tripped along humming "Billy Boy,"with a bundle in arms, I made my remark, and 'pon my soul, I thought the lltle dearie would cry her eyes out, and to assuage her grief I had to pet, coax, and repeat over and over a denial, and change my tune, in toto: That should have been a lesson, and was, as to children, but I forgot the axlon of "grown ups being only children, of older years," and in my jubilant condition met, later on, a lady of color carrying, very tenderly, a wee creature resembling a Christmas tree doll. The Devil possessed me as I reached my heaci over and murmured, "My, that's a queer looking thing." She stopped, so did I, and most foolishly continued, with "what, red head, with brown, black skin? "Why 'twould do for a circus side show!" "Father Mex., or Mongol," I asked. "Had I the brains, even then, when noticing her gazing hurriedly around for a spot to plant tha,t infant, I would have swiftly beat it, but you see I thought myself funny I now think very, very different. Hell hath furies, but nothing compared to a riled woman, who in this case stalked majestically toward me, and raising a paw which a palm reading gypsy would envy, or a glove modeling clerk would Belect to display mammoth sized glovelets, she took a ball pitchers swing, and I Judge from the shock that her knucks were metal en casedV I have experienced concussion from falling brickbats, Okla homa cyclone pellets, and other missies, but they were feathers as compared, Of course I went down, in an attitude unbecoming a weal thy Junk dealer, but conditions warranted the sprawl, for which I now apologize, and her blow warrants the remark, "that were I a stone breaker, or quarrier, and needed a foreman, she should have a Job." My massive brain is easily muddled, and very slow of dis entanglement. I do remember hearing a remark, or repitlon of what I first said to her about the baby being a "queer looking thing," which bystanders tell me was her jeering words as she left, giggling and pointing an expressive finger at my helpless form. I now turn a new leaf, and shall attend strictly to my own business letting females from babies up, muchly alone. I tell you its policy, as they distress, not only heart portals, but confound it, the body ligaments. Naturally, after this truthful outburst, I am in no condition to separately list the vast and varied stock In Ford's Stores, but I whisper this to you: "It's dollars in your pockets to buy of Ford."

Many fail to realize the importance of keeping new and used goods separated, but it is best, so on Adams St, No. 144, near Republican office, I have exclusively new goods.

Its high time to prepare for winter. I have the goods, from pin hooks to cannons everything required on earth, and "ascension robes" for the long Journey.
