NO FUTURE WAR WITH HUN.
"In a little shell-torn village where
my battery was quartered," writes
Corporal Osborne De Varila, "lived a
young French mother with her two-year-old
son. Just before this son was
born she was taken prisoner by somo
German cavalrymen and sent to a hos
pital in Germany. When her child
was born it was taken from her and
returned two weeks later, with its
sight destroyed.
" 'If your child had been a girl,' ex
plained the brutish German surgeon,
'we would not have done this. But we
of the fatherland must make sure
that the French will never again take
up arms against Germany.'
"With her face full of woe and trag
edy the mother told me this story, and
,1 swore vengeance against the Hun as
the tale slipt from her trembling lips.
Nestled in her lap was the living evi
dence of the crime the poor little
two-year-old who is doomed to go
through life sightless because of Ger
man kultur."
The Germans need no longer be
afraid that the French or the Eng
lishor the Americans or any other
of the Allies who now number twenty-four,
with additions expected every
hour will ever against1 after this
war, fight against GermanyjJfiJlK
They won't have to. 5
There will not be enough left of Ger
many in a military way to go out gun
ning for a squirrel. The nation which
can commit such crimes must be de
stroyed. MORE MENTAL FERTILITY.
Secretary Baker has hit upon a plan
for informing relatives and friends of
soldiers concerning-wounded and sick
Yanks admitted to overseas hospitals'.
Baker proposes-tohave the hospital
records brought here each week by
courier, the records to give the exact
nature of the wounds or disease. This
is a marvelous idea. By this means
parents ,and relatives will be advised
of the condition 'of' those in whom
they may be interested a month or so
after the courier has made the rounds.
The secretary believes that the task
of installing this system will be con
siderable, and hopes are entertained
that the task will be accomplished
' some time before the end of the war.
h Probably the War Department has de
vised this method because of thcran
inefficiency of the Burleson mail serv
ice, which is apt to deliver news of a
boy's iHncss or wounds about the time
the patient has .died of senile, debility
and the war is being written up T)y
the historian. It has been suggested
that Secretary Baker appoint Gordon
Auchincloss, the exbmpted son-in-law
of Colonel E. M. House, and Edscl
Ford, the exempted son of the bellig
erent jitney kingl'to act as couriers.
'It is war work df 'decidedly safe na
ture even ithough thoy be heralds of
sorrowful tidings. JThey should wear
ebon plumes on their overseas caps,
and each carry fa black-bordered
pocket handkercher."
The laborer has the same right that
the capitalist has to become a money
grabber and "exploit the war" for
what he can get out of it but there
J should be a day of, reckoning coming
to either element. The great inter
mediate class of people are earnestly
doing the things they can: in every
way to help win the wjirj sacrificing
more than the other two elements' evef
thought of: they are the great'class
who believe that there is.hopc for the
wickd and hope for hose 'who will help'
play the great game of living in an
honest, manly way. There is a great
big wallop coming to those who can
not see that the great "masses" do not
belong to either of the great ex
tremes. LEARN YOUR TOOLS.
On August 11, 1918, when we haft
been at war 10 months, the War De
partment announced that all officers
of the Ordnance Department below
the rank of Colonel would be required
to take a course in target practice
with the .45 caliber automatic pistol.
The purpose is to equip the men to de
fend themselves while on overseas
duty. Thus we are gradually speed
ing up the war.
LILY-WHITES.
Since Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo has given his endorsement of
the pft-repeated policy of wearing
patches to conserve cloth, Secretary of
the Navy Daniels should get aboard
the economy band-wagon by repealing
his order requiring navy officers on
shore duty to wear spotless white uni
forms in summer. He could save time,
laoor and money by so .doing.
WHERE ARE WE?
Dispatches from Washington recent
ly declared that German influences
were behind the break between
Mexico and Cuba. It would seem that
'American diplomacy should be such
that the United States could have
some influence over a sister republic
as close as Mexico and have many
commercial and financial relations.

CANDIDATES AT RED LAKE.
There was no dearth of candidates
of all kinds, both county and state, at
Red Lake last Saturday, and there
were some good patriotic, as well as
political, speeches made by them. As
per schedule, Fred Sutter, candidate
for nomination for governor on the
Democratic ticket, threw several hot
shot into the Hunt-Coalter camp which
seemed to please the crowd.
The Flagstaff people who attended
the big barbecue were mighty well
pleased with the day.
The war measureiputting the age
limit from 18 to 45 has passed and is
now a law. This,,will make, aheap of
changes in future plans, butalj.jlans
should tend to end the war "at the
earliest possible moment with a com
plete crushing of the Huns. The more
men, money and guns wo put up and
put up quickly, the more men we will
save. It may seem that we have the
Hun on the run now, but there is no
use of taking anything for granted.
"THE PUBLIC BE D Dl"
That list of officials and employes
entitled to railroad passes under the
system of government control is un
doubtedly all right if followed strict
ly. But there would be some advant
ages in requiring government railroad
officials to line up at the ticket win
dow and await their turn. They would
acquire some sympathy for the irri
tated public.
Uncle Sam is having his troubles in

RED CROSS ASSISTS
THE NEEDY AT HOME
A soldier over seas whose family re
ceived sorely needed assistance
through the Home Service section,
American Red Cross, has written the
San "Francisco chapter the following
appreciation: "I never fully realized
the worK you are doing until i re
ceived the letter from my wife telling
me of the manner you had gone to her
assistance. Without you she would
have been helpless, for there was no
one near to whom she could turn.
When I received the news I spread it
throughout the camp and many a boy
here feels a thousand times better to
know that there is someone back home
fighting the battles for him and for
his loved ones.'.', . ,
"The story will "travel Jall over
France," he 'adds,- explaining that he
is up for a commission and will be in
a better position to tell other men we
have the greatest organization in the
world with a heart as big as the
Unied States."
Farm Agent DeLore Nichols visited
Government Prairie yesterday to make
hill selection of potatoes In that sec
tion. Mr. Nichols intends to visit the
different ranches of the county on hill
selection, the purpose being to see
that the ones selected are highly cul
tivated and properly taken care of
and the seed from which will be used
in planting next year's crop. By this
means a better grade and more satis
factory potato yieW is expected.
SENATOR SUTTER
FLAYS HUNT REGIME
Senator Fred Sutter, candidate for
the nomination for governor on the
Democratic ticket, addressed a full
house at the Orpheum Wednesday
night. He gave his full history and
denounced the 1." W. W. in no uncer
tain terms,, avowing that if elected all
classes would' look alike to him, cor
porationsT.or th unions, but1 he .barred
the SocialistlrMd wobblies. He be
lieved ih a "bus'lness administration,
not a political '6ne; he showed up the
present administration as the most
extravagant and wasteful that ever
happened; a squandering of public
money for private benefit and sighted
the prison policy, stating that for
four months there was no flag foating
there owing to the guards belonging
mainly to the I. W. W. element. His
arraignment of the administration was
sufficient to make all sit up" and take
notice, and it was evident that he had
made a good many votes among the
Democratic brethren.
SPLENDID SOUVENIR
OF COCONINO COUNTY
The handsome booklet entitled
"Souvenir of Flagstaff and Coconino
County, Arizona," compiled and copy
righted by Brooks, Tyler and Wilcox
of Flagstaff, and dedicated to the
residents of the great mountain sec
tion of Coconino county of our state,
is something well worth having. While
it covers the scenic, educational and
industrial field, it is not over done in
the bombastic style of the usual
"write-up," but in a legitimate de
scriptive manner, and contains relia
ble information and facts concerning
our country. It is beautifully illus
trated with glimpses of this most
picturesque country and also shows
many of the principal buildings. It
contains no advertising and is put
forth with a view of informing distant
friends of the country in which we
live and is being sold with that idea
in view.
You may write the "folks back east"
as you will, but this elegant booklet
will give them a better idea of your
surroundings than can the pen alone.
The people of Flagstaff should appre
ciate this work of art and see that
their friends get one.
o
F. W. PERKINS FOR JUDGE
OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
Judge F. W. Perkins has announced
his candidacy for the nomination on
the Republican ticket for judge of the
Superior court.
judge Perkins is the present incum
bent ot that important office, and his
supporters point to his splendid rec
ord for the past six and one-half
years as the best evidence of his
qualifications.
He was deputy clerk of the United
States district court at Kansas City
for some years and later served as
clerk of the court and as United
States Circuit court commissioner for
five years. , ,
He read law with one of the lead
ing law f kms of Kansas City for four
years. He is a graduate of the St.
Louis law school of the Washington
University. He was admitted to prac
tice and practiced law successfully in
Kansas City for many years. i
Judge Perkins moved to Flagstaff
in liuj and lor two years was in the
banking business, after which he prac
ticed law until he was elected judge
of the Superior court in the fall of
1911. Until elected judgehe was ret.
eree in bankruptcy for this district,
His practical experience in the busi
ness world, as .well as the practice of
his profession, has peculiarly fitted
him for the solution of the varied and
perplexing problems that a judge of
tne superior court ot. this state js
called upon to solve.
Judge Perkins has always taken a
lively interest in every movement for
the welfare of the community "in
which he lives and for the state at
large. He served four years as , a
member of the board of education of
the Northern Arizona Normal School,
during which time the Normal School
grew from a small beginning to a
large and thriving institution.
For five years he served as one, of
the trustees of the Flagstaff public
schools, and his untiring work- in the
interests of the schools produced
splendid and lasting results.
Judge Perkins has the confidence
and esteem of the bar of the entire
state. He has rarely ben disqualified
to try cases in this county, and has
been called into many counties in the
state to try cases for other judges
and has been called upon to sit as a
judge of the Supreme court in cases
where one of the judges of that court
has been disqualified. During his six
and one-hall years on the bench be
has the creditable record of having
had only four cases appealed from this
county, all of which were affirmed,
and of having but two cases reversed
during his entire term of office.
Judge Perkins' practical experience
as an accountant and business man
especially fit him for the .duties of the
probate department of his court.
His interest in the schools and his
experience in the handling of boys and
girls and his kind and sympathetic
nature have peculiarly qualified him
to solve the problems of the juvenile
department of his court, while his
business experience, his years of prac
tice in the courts and his careful
study of the law involved in each case,
have won for him a most enviable
reputation as a jurist.
He has shown no sympathy for the
bootlegger and has done everything
possible to enforce the prohibition
laws of the state.
Our Legislature has made the office
of judge of the Superior court a non
partisan one, and the supporters of
Judge Perkins feel that the voters of
Coconino county, regardless of poli
tics, could do no better than "let well
enough alone" and retain him as
judge of the Superior court for an
other term. ,

week," taking in Yuma, Gadsden and
Somerton. He went from Yuma to
Tucson, spending the day there and
addressing ttepuolicans in the even
ing. From Tucson he went to Pinal
county, visiting Oracle, Mammoth,
Hayden, Winkleman, Ray and Supe
rior. Last Saturday he attended the
annual picnic at Red Lake in Coco
nino county, and after spending a few
days in the north, returned to. the
south to visit Gila, Graham and
Greenlee counties and the boys at
Camp Cody. It was at the Red Lake
picnic two years ago that Governor
Campbell opened his campaign, on
which occasion he was thrown from a
bucking broncho, experience horseman
though he is. In his talks with Re
publicans over the state, Governor
Campbell has emphasized the neces
sity of putting strong county tickets
in the field, but has discouraged the
nomination of poor men just to get the
emolumens of office, on the ground
that Republicans are not interested in
drawing salaries, but in rendering
service. He has pointed out that the
Republican party has ever been the
friend of liberty, the best illustration
being that the anarchists, Socialists
and wobblies never support Republi
cans. In this connection he said: "The
most cheering news to me since our
boys began their big drive on the
Huns on the western front is the suc
cess of the great drive conducted by
our government against the Huns in
America at the Chicago trials of the
I. W. W."
The state committee filed nomina
tion papers for the state ticket with
the secretary of state on August 20,
as ioiiowB,
Thomas E. Campbell for governor.
Thomas 'Maddock for representative
in Congress.
James A. Jones for state treasurer,
David Benshimol for attorney gen
eral. Jack White for state mine inspector.
H. E. Mathews for superintendent
of public instruction.
There were three vacancies on the
state ticket which will be taken care
of by the state committee when in ses
sion shortly after the primaries.
There were two good men who were
willing to run for the offices of state
auditor and corporation commissioner.
One was forced to change his mind at
the last moment on account of busi
ness and family reasons, and the
other, J. G. Compton of Tucson, was
willing to run for corporation com
missioner, providing he could get the
privilege and leave of absence from
the railroad authorities in San Fran
cisco. Mr. Compton is a railroad con
ductor running from Tucson to EI
Paso on the Southern Pacific railroad.
He is well known and well liked and
would have made a very good man for
this particular office. He was advised
by the San Francisco office as late as
Friday that if he desired to run for
office he would have to resign. This

he could not afford to do, as a rail
road man will very easily understand,
but to the rank and file of people who
are not familiar with the workings of
the railroad companies this would de
prive Mr. Compton of his present
standing and possibly he would have
to go to the loot of the list of rail
road conductors and would change his
position according to the run that he
has been holding. It was certain that
Mr. Compton could easily beat Sam
Bradncr, who is the administration
candidate for corporation commis
sioner on the Bemocratic ticket.
Nomination papers signed by Lieut.
Thomas Maddock, Republican nominee
for Congress, were received at Repub
lican headquarters from Lieut. Mad
dock in France two days after the
time required, but had been filed with
out his signature', as instructions to
do so had been received from him in
a cablegram. Whether or not the name
of Lieut. Maddock finds its way on the
primary ballot, he will be the Repub
lican nominee for Congress, as his
name will either be written, in or will
be promptly placed on the ballot at
the first meeting of the Republican
state committee after the primary, as
he had no opposition. The papers .were
sent to Lieut. Maddock in June, but
did not reach Phoenix until August 22,
In Maricopa county, where Sidney
Osborn is supposed to run pretty well,

The San Diego affair is apt to be an
important issue of the campaign if
certain aspiring Democrats land

the state have not forgotten this occa
sion on which their public officials vis
