Useless Waste of Time and Wind
The senators who are delaying the progress of
tile Knox resolution in tile senate, in order, as they
..uy. that it. may have, the fullest discussion must
have a beautiful faith in the persuasive power of
oratory, if there were a possibility of making con
m rts against it there would be some sense in th"
uelay of its presentation by the committee until
next Monday. Rut certainly there is no senator who
is so simpe -miu'led as to suppose that there will be
a change of a single vote as a resuit of a debate
hich may lie prolonged for weeks and -which wilt
aatti rally become a premature discussion embracing
: he w hole snbK'ct of the League of Xations. In any
event that debate will be gone over again.
In the very nature of things, the earlier there is
a disposition of the Knox resolution, the better it
v i!I be for everybody, the friends of the league, its
c pponents. and the peace conference. If the reso
lution should be adopted, that will certainly indicate
the rejection of the covenant as a part of the peace
feats'. If tiie resolution shouid be defeated, the posi
tion of the friends of the league would be greatly
.-Irengthencd while the morale of its opponents would
he moasur.'i My weakened.
The opposition to the resolution though, strength
i us the impression of a stiffening of senatorial senti
lueni aaainsl. the covenant. It indicates an unwill
ingness of the supporters of the treaty to meet the
i. "ue, hoping no doubt, that if action with reference
io it may be postponed until the treaty lias actually
i'cen signed, opposition to it will disintegrate.
There is a most forlorn chance of that. The
siip porters of the resolution whatever their strength
may I.e. ;,re nunc closely bound together than were
tiie fcignatories of the round robin.
They are evidently determined upon a course of
action regardless of the final action of the peace con
lerence. and it. is due the conference lo be informed
as quickly as possible whether the resolution can be
adopted.
"Frontier Days"
"We are always pleased to boost the Prescott
Frontier I lays," for tw o reasons. One is that
Prescolt is a fine place to be on or about July 4, so
that those who are there are sure of having a. good
lino. In fact, Prescolt is a good place to be at any
time of the year.
The other reason is that I'rescotl's hospitality
is of state wide knowledge. It is one place in Ari
zona, and mind you. we do not say there are no
ethers, where everybody is made to feel at home.
The hotels do not lake advantage of the disturbed
huv of supply and demand by reason of a congestion
of traffic, to exalt their rates and reduce their
service.
When there is need of it the homes of Prescolt
.ire thrown open preferably to friends and acquaint -I'U'os,
but strangers are not barred if there is no
toj.m for them in the places of public, entertainment
Ferone who goes to Prescott on "Frontier Days"
or other days, is made lo feel that lie is a welcome
guest.
The program of "Frontier Days" is one of the
few and ever dominating reminders of ancient days
t' which those of us who lived here in those days
lome times remember with mingled fondness
end regret, and are thankful for this annual reminder
f them.
Burleson the Immobile
The American Federation of Labor, we are pretty
mire will waste the time it spends in adopting a
"solution requesting the president to remove liurle
Min. Thai Uurlcson is on Old Man of the Sea on the
neck of the democratic party and threatens the
throttling of it is believed, but the president does not
appear to be convinced of that. And if he were con
i inccd it js wry doubtful whether' he would act.
The president has done many things for party
expediency, more thaj the most partisan of his pre
decessors. He has done much for labor, that is, for
organized labor, and be would probably do much
more but be is not likely even for votes, to do any
thing he does not want to do. And evidently he
does not want to fire P.urleson.
k was one thing to grant every demand that
labor, that is, organized labor, with a definite voting
jtrength, has made, for wages, working conditions'
and preference: that wa.s something that cost the
president nothing either in money or personal in
clination. He had previously been as preferential
toward the so-called capitalistic class; he had no
strong convictions one way or another.
But Uuiieson is a child of his own creation; one
of those ol the official family especially favored. His
ofte.nses of which complaint is made, either by labor
or the public, are not new. They are only cumulative-
A Phoenix labor leader nearly three years ago
respectfully requested Burleson to get out and when
he did not, an imperious demand was made upon the
president for expulsive action.
The president has condoned the misdeeds and
the inefficiency of Burleson lor six years and three
months, has assumed responsibility for Burleson, so
that it cannot be reasonably expected that he will
not stand by him for the brief period of one year
an 1 nine months. Rurleson is no worse at heart to
c.iy than he was on March 4. 131::. He is no less
'r: a in Fien he had shown himself to he J.v time
"
previous to August of last year. He is the same
old Eurleson unchanged and unchangeable, immune
and immutable.
Mr. Gompers has flattered himself on his prox
imity to the president. He has been favored with
many marks of presidential favor. By reason of his
supposed intimacy he has now anl then spoken for
Uhe president and now and then with or without
authority or permission he used to seize and crack
the presidential whip over the cringing sixty-fifth
ongress. Mr. Gompers does not like Burleson.
But there is another compared with whom in the
iew of the president Mr. fiompers is an alien enemy,
:- Hun, a Turk. That is Col. House, the president's
alter ego, who is more o the president than Mr.
C-ompers, more than the American Federation of
Labor, more than all labor organized and unorgan
ized. Burle.son will go only when Colonel House
' rcsokites" and requests that he be sent on his way.
And Colonel House is Burleson's warm friend.
If Colonel House and the president were to agree
between themselves that i: i desirable-that Burle
son should relieve the administration of himself, they
would permit him to do so in the least self-humiliating
manner by resignation. They would not likely
have permitted him to remain so long under rire
which has been growing hotter and hotter, if they
were likely to come to such an agreement. Itui leson
would have had an intimation long before this that
.his resignation would be acceptable and he would
have given to the public some. hint, of his intend' d
niirement. Jut he has given no bint: on the con
trary, the plans of Burleson as announced by him
a!! -look to a. continuance of his activity as a scourge
of. democracy, as a festering thorn in the side of
organized labor.
Telegraph Strike News
How little we may depend upon the reports of
the progress made in the telegraphers' strike is
shown in the statement of President Konenkamp of
the C. T. V. A. regarding the situation in Arizona
where a tie-up was represented to have been effected.
It was further stated as something of which Mr.
Konenkamp had accurate knowledge that the situa
tion here was so serious that Governor Campbell had -ence
to ecure a settlement of the strike.
The statement was wholly without foundation,
no complaint had been made to the governor. He
bad no knowledge except from the press reports that
there was a telegraph strike and as a matter of
fact, there is no other knowledge of ne in Phoenix,
the central telegraph point of the southwest. So far
as we know all the other claims of Konenkamp are
as baseless as this one. Tn fact, we are warranted
in believing them to be as baseless until they have
been confirmed from a source known to be less unreliable-
On the other hand, we suppose, the claims of the
telegraph companies are exaggerated. There is
strategy in making exaggerated clajms for they must,
have an effect upon wavering employes, those who
are waiting lo see which side is likely to win.
Arizona, probably seemed by Mr. Konenkamp a
good place to "plant" a victory for the C. T. U. A. by
reason of what he believed to be its remoteness. R
lies off to one cornel of the telegraph map of the
country, but as a. man familiar with the subject of
communications Konenkamp should have under
stood that it was no more remote than Xew Jersey
or Ohio. He might as well have located the "plant "
in Chicago or Xew York.
As to Russia
There has been an undoubted distaste in this
country to a further interference in the affairs of
Russia. It was owing in part to a despair of the ability
ot the Russians to free themselves and it may be
traced in part to a disgust of sensible citizens with
our own parlor bolshevists who favored a recognition
tit one time, of the soviet regime something, that
was once probably contemplated by AVashington.
So revolting, though, has the bolshevist govern
ment appeared as we have learned more of its follies
and its excesses, that, we believe the proposition to
recognize the Kolchak government, would meet with
approval. If we went into the world war for humanity
we must see that the war has not yet been finished;
that more hideous foes of humanity have never ex
isted than the bolshevists, the I- V, AY. of Russia.
The world's task, if ever the saving of humanity
was a task, will not be completed until bolshcvism
in Russia has been extirpated and the leaders and the
murderers there have been properly punished.
That topsy turvy country must be set right
side up again or else it must be isolated and a guard
strong enough thrown about it to confine its insanity
within itself. The latter would keep the rest of the
world busy for many years, perhaps, generations.
The former would be a shorter task.
But so far as our participation in it is concerned
that is something that cannot be settled in the peace
conference. That is something that the representa
tives of our people in congress must determine.

News of Eob's Return , i
j Xnw the fart is that T never madej
jany choice at all of how 1 should give!
j the famous Dr. Hamilton Certeis overj
! to the authorities. j
j Fate handled his fortune and used I
'me as a tool, of my two plans, j
i chance determined which I should-
iollow. According lo one plan, I would!
j return to the Lorimer house, and as j
j fcoun as the tamily should recover from i
its aslcnishmcul at my resurrection. 1 ;
would confide to Daddy Lorimer the
whole story m' Certeis' treachery.
Probably Daddy would tease me, at
first, as a jolly little specimen of a
private detective, but once he was con-1
vinced, he would be horribly disap- I
pointed in the man he had thought j
ins menu. Jl would oe as hard lor
him as it had been for me to believe
the real truth about the fascinating
dot-tor.
But by this procedure, by thus ti'.k-!
inn my rightful place in the family, I,
w ould lose my only opportunity lo '
meet my husband as a stranger. !
After leaving the secret passage tin-!
'icr t'er teis' fountain, 1 had walked,
ioivn the alley to the drug store at:
the miner (if the street and had or-I
dered an ice (ream soda, partly be-
cause 1 could hardly ihik until I had
had a drink and partly because J
needed change for telephoning.
But as I sat in the crowd at the
public counter, my mind was fixed on
a most uncommon matter. I was con
sidering my second plan which wps to
gel a job with Tommy in the sru cry,
and then to make my report r.bout
Certeis to the local department of the
government secret service.
But this scheme hud an obyaele
which 1 could not overlook. Cndouht
tdly it would let me in tor something
like "the third degree" myself. 1 would
have to explain how I. a pretty, un
known girl, happened lo be a resident
of Certeis' mansion, and no matter
what I averred, the investigators would
agree at least on one conclusion about
me.
And that wasn't a very pleasont one
to consider, i couldn't attach that
kind of a history to the name of Eloise
Vanderlyn. The honor of the dead
girl compelled me to avoid the risk.
1 called up the Lorimer house. A
new maid answered the phone. I did
not know her voice 1 was glad she
did not know mine.
".Airs. Lorimer." was my brief com
mand. 'Mrs. Lorimer is out of town, ma
dame." the maid replied.
".Miss Lorimer'.'" I asked in a business-like
tone.
"Miss Lorimer is away also. The
family has gone to Xew York to wel
come Mr. Robert Lorimer."
At the sound of my husband's name
all the V.ood m my body seemed to
rush to my brain. I choked but man
aged to stammer, hoping the girl would t
give me further information:
"And Mr. liobert Lorimer when will j
he be " i
"h-- is due on the 'George Washing- j
ton' and will arrive tomorrow mom-'
ing, madame," she returned patiently
and respectfully. i
Thank you," I murmured as I hung :
up the receiver. 1 slumped down on
the stool in that shabby public tele- ;
phone booth so weak thai my head j
fairly wobbled. I fumbled for another '
coin, ar.d called up Tommy.
"Thank God, ma'am, it's you at last!'
The thrill in Tommy's tone, startled
me. "I've been worried to death about
not hearing from you, ma'am. What's
your orders."
'Come with your car at once to
Syke's, Tommy," I replied.
As I sat at a table near the window
watching for bis car. I forgot the
tremble in Tommy's voice. 1 forget
about the red madness and Tony Cer
teis' plotting.
My personal tragedy crushed me.
Bob vas coming and 1. his once loved
wife, was not going to welcome him
home.

PUSHED DOUGHBOYS TOO FAR
It may have been plain ignorance that led the
Japanese enlisted men in Vladivostok to gaze inscru
tably at American officers whom they passed with
out altering their bent knee, drag footed shuffle in
the least. It may have been their desire to show
their knowledge that a Japanese general was the
ranking general of the Allies, and that there were
seven times as many Japanese soldiers in Siberia as
there were Americans. It may have been a desire
to impress on their Allies that they were as good as
anyone if not a trifle better. Whatever it was, the
deliberateness of Japanese nonsaluting was very no
t iceable.
It may as well be admitted frankly that the
Americans did not get along well with the Japanese
in Siberia.. Xor did the British get along well with
them. Thera was constant friction between the Jap
anese and Americans not official friction; for of
ficially the Japanese are as polite and as ceremon
ious and as obliging as it would be possible for any
body to be. The friction was almost entirely of an
unofficial nature; but it was constant friction.
Tt may be that when the Japanese inoculate their
soldiers against typhoid they seize the opportunity to
inject into them something which changes their dis
position toward the people, of other nations. Indi
vidually, of course, the soldiers still remain affable,
obliging and polite.
The American soldier is essentially peaceable. He
gives other people most of the sidewalk without a
thought; and when the occasion seems to require it
he lets other people have it all. Our doughboys were
carefully instructed in the consideration due to our
Allies; 'so when three or four Japanese soldiers came
up the street abreast and pushed a doughboy into
the gutter he didn't resent it.
At first he didn't. Eventually a change occurred.
A doughboy can be crowded just so far, but no farth
er. There came a day when three Japanese soldiers
essayed to push a doughboy into the gutter. Their
was a slight disturbance, a confused noise and a
( loud of dust. When the dust cleared away three
little brown men were sitting in the middle of the
road, wondering whether they had been hit by a motor
car or a street car, and the doughboy was proceed
ing calmly along the sidewalk, occupying his custom
ary modest portion of it. After that the crowding be
came less noticeable. Kenneth L. l'obert)s in the Sat

The Water Supply '
June 11. 1919. !
Editor of Arizona Republican, 1'hoenix, ;
Arizona.
Dear Sir:
The magnitude of the projected city j
water supply bond issue and huge en- ,
terprise it proposes to finance is so
large as to make it a question of the
utmost importance to every citizen.
Errors of detail are to be expected but
any error of fundamental planning
must mean embarrassment to all futur
ity. Peing neither an engineer nor a
financier nor having had an oppor
tunity to study the question, I do not
regard myself competent to pass judg
ment on its merits as it now appears,
yes or no, if a specific single proposi
tion, the Verde river.
1 desire, however, to call attention to
an alternative that may have been
carefully considered and discarded
without my hearing about it. 1 refer
to a possible water supply at some
point on the Hassayampa river either
above or below Wickenburg, I would
not even suggest at this time. Per
conally, I am prejudiced in favor of an
underground supply if near the surface
for reasons not necessary to recite
now. In other words, even if the water
comes from the Verde, 1 would prefer
to see it come from beneath the sur
face and I understand in filtration ap
plies to some open body of water like
the Mississippi river which the people
of St. Louis are required to chew with
their daily meals. I have been led to
believe, however, that a perfectly good
supply of water and a perfectly good
process can be provided on either the
Verde or the Hassayampa. wherefore
the chief purpose of this commounica
tion is to call attention from the view
point of the layman to the cost of con
struction. "Though not familiar with
the Verde section I understand that it
is a frightful country through which
to build a pipe line and from Phoenix
to its source every foot of it is in the
opposite direction from transportation
facilities. On the other hand, the gen
eral grade from the Hassayampa to
Phoenix is a gentle slope and wherever
the line would be situated its most
distant point would be but a few miles
from a railroad over a fairly smooth
country or possibly closely paralleling
the road.
The layman's conclusion must be
that the construction costs would be
easy as compared with the Verde route.
It goes without saying that we want
to have the best water we can get
whatever its cost, but all other things
being equal, this matter of construc
tion is something that should be given
I proper attention unless that has been
i done that it may not be overlooked. I
am willing to take chances on being
charged with having been asleep
