It will be a long time before the people of America will knowingly head for either of these extremes. Mexico pre sents a fair sample of what can be done to ruin a people and a country,' all in the interest of a few individuals. It takes a strong hand, an intelligent fighting factions and the real interest of the people. NOT MUCH EARTH ROOM FOR HUNS The despicable treatment of British prisoners af war by the Germans, who turned them out without food, money or decent clothing, to make their way back some sixty miles to their own lines, is another splendid argument why the Germans should be treated "with every consideration." Many of the prisoners died on their way back to their own lines from hunger and cold. If the people of the United States furnishes food and comfort for these barbarians, let us hope it will be after every mother's" son of those instrumental in bringing about such a condition are hung by the heels until their hair falls out, and not before. The old Arizona rattlesnake has more principle than has been evidenced by this gathering of infamous hyenas. About the hardest thing the American people will have to stand for is their even being treated as human beings. An iron ring should be thown around the confines of their hoggery and let them die as they have lived a des picable, beastly gathering of things too low to associate, with the rest of the world. Their yellov. bellowings for sympathy at this time after they have committed every crime that an educated beast could possibly con trive to offend mankind, should not and will not, if the American people have anything to say about it, prevent their getting the reward that is com ing to them. What sympathy did they have for Belgium? What did they do in France? What did they promise to do to England if they were victorious ? What would have happened to Amer ica had they won the war? They bragged and boasted of what they would do and the levies they would make when they seemed to be in the ascendency. They would have made good their threats and more had they won. In defeat they are a mob of whim pering, begging, loathsome things, a disease that should be quarantined and shunned until it rots and passes from the earth. If they need food let them hunt it out of the bottom of the sea. If they need help, let them help themselves to that which they de stroyed. WHEN THE "YANKS" COME BACK The soldier who has served in France will have many questions to ask upon his return. He will study how the war has been conducted. He will have an idea of those who have helped and those who have hindered. He will appreciate the great import ance of production and he will want to know how it has been hindered and by whom. No question in his mind can be answered by platitudes. He will exact facts and he will inevitably contrast, modestly, of course, his own heroic service at' a stipend of $33 a month with the work of those who re mained at home, either to secure enormous profits or to make enormous wages. His will be a questioning mind, and he will "be one of millions thinking along the same lines. The present petty classes and cliques which arc dominating politics will only interest him to the extent of determining whether they served faithfully or were slackers and prif iteers. He will apply the game test to the politicians and statesmen. The soldier may be the supremo factor in our political, and therefore our eco nomic and financial policies fpr many years to come. He will be ran inde-' pendent thinker with a' vast fund ofc knowledge, and as a soldier he will exact a reckoning which must be paid fully and completely. His return will mark the end of some of our present political methods, and the domination of certain classes to which politicians have heretofore bowed. It will make for healthier conditions in politics. . A GOOD PROPOSITION. A number ofNour exchanges have been speculating on what would hap pen if the government took over the newspapers. Well, the first thing the subscription price would be raised about CO per cent and the sheriff would .be kept busy chasing delin quents. The next step would be to laise the wages 25 per cent and edi tors who hadn't had n cent in six months they could call their own, would be placed on a salary. The merchants who fail to get their ad copy in until press day would be haul ed up before the council of defense and linotype man who hired out for two weeks and quit his job in a week would be sent to Leavenworth for about ten years as a deserter. It looks like a good proposition and we are for it. The Fairbury, Nebr., News. There seems to be a long, lingering suspicions that Secretary McAdoo did not resign altogether because the low salary paid the secretary of the treas ury. It is hinted that aside from the possibility of his being a candidate for president in 1920, the settlement of the troubles that will come upon the administration now that the war is over, will be exceedingly difficult and not as popular as his action in taking over the railroads and other utilities, raising wages and then raising rates to cover the extra cost of giving inferior service. It was much easier to let some one else un snarl the tangle and be the goat. There was little criticism during the war no matter what the public felt, but during the "next two years there will be plenty of it. Secretary of the Treasury, etc., etc., etc., McAdoo has resigned. Mack dug a subway in New York and mar ried President Wilson's daughter. He is director general of all the railroads and Liberty Bond loans, yet he says there is not enough in the different jobs to make a living. President Wil son has thanked him from the bottom of his heart for doing all these odd jobs around the White House and hopes he will be able to get a job something like the one his father-in- law is now holding. The Miami Silver Belt pulls a new idea of President Wilson's trin to France. It contends that President Wilson is making a big political coup by the move, leaving congress to its own resources, thus "getting congress off his hands" as it were. The peo ple having refused his advice and elected a republican congress, Wilson will go to the peace conference and handle things there himself without bothering congresg to assist him. That Longhead airplane wnich started out from Santa Barbara for Washington, D. C, seems to be having more trouble than a Christmas pack age in making headway through Ari zona, it had to step orr the ground at Tacana, Arizona, and the next thing heard from it was that it went crooked ggain at Gila Bend. It cx- fects to resume from there Sunday, t would have been much cheaper to have sent the thing through by mail franked. Editor Chapman's heart is busted. It appears after having celebrated a glorious republican victory at Winslow and made desperate claims of having elected both the justice of the peace and constable, now comes the official returns and the constable was counted out by two votes. All the northern part of the state is now looking with deep interest to ascertain whether or not the defeated candidate will bring contest proceedings and take the mat ter to the supreme court. THE GREAT MIDDLE CLASS. The boys who are coming home irom "over there" are going to make short work of the I. W. W. and their Bolsheviki brothers. The United States is no place for this class of.men who do not now and never will be lieve in any form of government which does not provide a living for them without work. There is very little difference in their idea of gov ernment and that of the late Kaiser, who believed that force was all that is necessary to keep them on "easy street" without a tap of work to do. The great middle class furnishes the world and the two extremes seem to vie with each other as to how they can easiest get it away from them. It is not going to be an easy task to get the two extremes together on any workable plan, but there is every hope that the true American, the one who believes in doing things and being re warded, may take matters in hand and bring the contending elements in to close communion with a healthy smash. The great middle class composed of people with homes and families, with a working interest in America, and who want settled condition that they may live in peace and hnrmonv. are the ones who will eventually .brinj? uuuui such comuuons. iney are me great majority. Public opinion of the country would indicate that there was not only no necessity of President Wilson going to France, but that his action would be more of a personal interest than for the public interest. The cables were taken over by the administra tion in order that President Wilson might handlo the affairs of the United States from France, during the sev eral months be will be in Europe. Some people arc inclined to believe that while the United ' States was building up a democracy in Europe, they were building up an autocracy in the United States under the personal supervision of McAdoo. About the only persons who can truthfully say they like government control of rail roads, telegraph and telephones, arc the ones who had their pay raised, not the ones who had to try to do business over these utilities with rais ed rates and reduced service. The American people have a slight Idea of what the Russian .government was under the rule of the Czar and how-little the people of that country counted. The rule of the Xenjnes and Trotzkys during the last few months President Wilson has announced his intention of going to France as one of America's representatives at the peace conference. He will take a ret inue jot some 200 persons with him to remain indefinitely. From Washing ton comes the news that he will be a candidate for president of the League of Nations. Col. House is ill with the influenza, and congress meets again Dec 4th. the influenza, to make note of this in teresting fact. Howsumever, we will endeavor to make The Sun shine with greater effulgence whatever that is than ever the coming year. Ach, lebei, Capting Looie! It seems reigning J.

If there vas one thing more than another the Kaiser hated it was the thoughts of seeing a perfectly good Kaiser go hungry, so he filled his pri vate storehouses with plenty of good rich food. He seemed utterly unself ish wherever the welfare of the Kaiser was concerned. Senator Fred Colter has conceded the election of Tom Campbell and written him a letter of congratula tion, which was answered in kind by Campbell. It was the gentlemanly thing to do, and regardless of the few trench cooties who have lost their coigfortable couches, the, people gen erally regarless of party appreciate a fair fight and a courteous loser It is officiallv announced now thnr the government does not need more stenographers. This would seem to be an indication that the newspapers were not going to be bombarded with a daily barrage of administration publicity. A person who lies intentionally should always be careful to spell his words right and be careful to cut the corners close. You see it was- this way, Mr. Wil son, when wc talked about uncondi tional surrender we meant Germany, not ourselves. The Tucson Star asks: "Does the Melting Pot Melt?" Well, wc believe it would if it had a political gas mask on. That there will be a Fifth Liberty loan of some few $6,000,000 next April, seems to be a certainty. PERSHING BOOM FOR PRESIDENT STARTED A campaign for the election of Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the army expeditionary forces in France, has been formally launched in Ohio by the "Pershing Republican League." Former United States Senator Charles Dick of Akron and 14 other prominent republicans of Akron and Summit county are sponsors for the movement. Dick's name heads the list of the 15 men who signed the articles of incorporation of the league which were presented to the secretary of the state. WILLIAMS NOW OWNS ITS WATER WORKS The transaction the Town of Wil liams and the Federal court at Pres cott, in the matter of the purchase by the town of the water plant of the Williams Water and Electric Compa ny, has been completed and the town is now in full possession of the mu nicipal water plant. The purchase price as formerly announced in these columns, was $35,000. This leaves the town $20,000 of the water works bonds formerly voted by people v of Williams with which to make repairs on the dam and effect other improve ments which will improve the quality of the water during the summer months and insure a much larger sup ply for the use of the town in the fu ture. By this transaction the town coun cil is placed in a position which enable them to add pure and palatable snow water to the many attractions"" which Williams has to offer to summer vis itors. Williams News. ALLEGED RUMORS , OF "LIABLE SUITS" The rumor that H. B. White, part roomer and part proprietor at the Weatherford, is going to sue out a lot of criminal "liable" papers against Wm. Hicklin, whose name back in Mis souri was said to be "Hackmoro", is alleged not to be final or conclusive, is alleged and reported that on Mr. H. B.'s return from the Indian reserva tion a few days ago, a lady inquired whether or not he had learned Navajo after living out there among them so many days? Mr. Hicklin immediately volunteered that he was sure H. B. had learned some of it, because when he came in the first thing he did was to lay down on a red blanket with his head towards the fire and commence to scratch. White, he is some irritat ed over the "scratching" and is itch ing to get revenge.
