PLEAS FOR THE CANTEEN

Army officers are renewing their ap- peals for the restoration of the oanteens at army posts, at which the enlisted men of the force can purchase beer and light wines under the supervision of their officers. Lieut.. Col. George M Dunn, who is judge advocate of the de. psrtment of Colorado, calls attention to the large number of court-martial cases for desertion last year, and says in this connection: "rhese assertions can be in a large part attributed to the malign influences of saloons near the reservations, seducing enlisted men from the paths of decency. This is only another of the many arguments in favor of restoring to the army the can teen, which provides places of amuse- ment and social intercourse where men could get light refreshments under re- straining, decent and orderly inhu. ences.
 The great majority of the officers of the army are of the opinion that mis- take, and grave one, was made when the sale of all alcoholic beverages was prohibited on government property. Brig. Gen. Lee of the department of Texas also scores the existing prohibi- tory regulations, and says: ''The ef- feet of the abolition of the canteen is to increase unauthorized absenteeism, pro- mote drunkenness and disorder, all tending directly to influence deser. tions.
 It is suggested that the figures for arrests and punishments for crimes di. rectly or indirectly traceable to the use of alcohol be gathered for the army, and then submitted to congress. Pro hibition has been in force long enough now to insure that fair trial has been given it. If the figures show that the morals of the army are on lower standard today than they were under the old rules, that fact would furnish the strongest possible argument for restoration of the old conditions.

ARIZ0NA'S POLITICAL POT
What Its Ebullitiou Is Infringing t
 the Surface

E. k. Ellinwood, of Prescott, is mentioned as likely to be the next chairman of the democratic territo- rial cen tral committee We know of no one better fitted to ill the posi- tion than he.
 The Pima county republicans de. clared for w. F. Cooper for delegate to congress and the delegation was instructed to cast ts vote for him in the territorial convention to be held in Prescott next Saturday.
 Col. Allen T. Bird, of Nogales, an d his joint statehood scheme were re- pudiated by the Santa Cruz republi- cans. who chose delegation pledged to advocate single statehood for Ari- zona first, last, and all the time.
 The old-line democrats, supporters of Mark Smith, are again in control of the Pima county organization, and have sent Smith delegation to Phoe- nix. The socialistic Hearst shouters have gone away back.
 The Phoenix Republican does not attach much importance to alleged democratic dlscord in Graham and Gila counties, declaring that if the party in either of those counties were split evenly in two, either faction could wallop the republicans.
 The primary held at Bisbee was very stubbornly contested. The result of the primaries in the county insures the election of Steve Roemer for the council. Bisbee and Douglas dele gates will be agreed iu the county con- vention which will meet in Douglas on the 24 th of this month.
 A heavy vote was boiled in the dem- ocratic primaries in Cochise county last Saturday. Bisbee over 1200 Doug las s92, Tombstone more than 400. In Douglas the election was lively, the principal contest being between J. M. Sparks and c. A. Taylor for super. visor. The entire Taylor ticket was elected by an average majority of 242.
 The forty-one delegates to repre- sent BisDee in the democratic county convention are said to be unanimous in their support of Stewart Hunt for

CHAIRMAN BABCOCk AND THE
 TARIFF

Some of Chairman Babcock's utter. ances in former years about tariff re- vision are being revived again to trouble him, says the Washington Post. How earnestly Mir. Babcock advocated tariff reform in 1901 and whereabouts is very we'll remembered in Washington. He introduced an elaborate bill for reduc- ing duties on many highly protected articles. and while at Marienbad, Aus tria, in the summer of 1901, wrote a letter to friend in Milwaukee, saying, in part
 By the practice of this republican policy we are today making not only all that we consume of many commod ities, but also are able to manufacture some for less than any other people. So 1t has come to pass that some arti- cles, the like of which ysars ago we imported nearly all we consumed, We can today produce and undersell the world. After we have builded so well, and many of these industries have be- come giants such as the world has never before known, shall we continue a tariff on articles that yield no reve- nue, need no protection, and that, in fact, like the products of our farms, are articles of export How can such policy be defended ?
 ".If congress maintains tariff on such articles, the whole theory of pro- tection falls to the ground, and it sim- ply inures to the benefit of those who may secure the control of any such commodity, since by its aid they can fix exorbitant prices in the domestic market. l maintain that 1t IS part of the policy of protection to protect the consumers.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

After each succeeding party primary election is held the demand for an ade- quate primary election law becomes more and more apparent. The demo- cratic primaries held in Bisbee has proven no exception to the rule, and it is almost certain that before another primary election is held in Arizona a law governing the manner of holding the same will find place on our stat ute book.
 The primary elections of both par ties should be held on the same day. The aspirants for nomination on the separate tickets should be printed on the ballot, and the aspirant receiving the highest number of votes declared the nominee of the party. This would do away with any con vention, wherein often the real desires of the rank ano file of the party Is thwarted by the ac ton of the delegates. This manner o deciding who shall be the nominees O. the party has long since been adopted iu many of the older states, and a re turn now to the old system would b' hooted at

The campaign in Gila county has not yet reached a marked degree of animation, and it seems doubtful whether it will at any time excite any very lively interest. The registration this year promises to show an increase of several hundred names over that of two years ago, and there is feeling prevalent that the additional votes likely to be cast on November 8 will inure to the benefit of the democratic ticket. Notwithstanding the deter mined contest over the organization of their county convention, there appears to be more harmony among local dem- oceats than has existed in the past sev- eral campaigns and feeling of confi- dence in the result of the coming cam paign.

Commenting on the completion of the New York subway and the work being done on the Panama canal, the Omaha Bee says that it is mo wonder there is steadily growing demand in foreign countries for American engi- neers. Problems that have bafiled the ablest men of Europe are being solved by Americans in Egypt, South America, Siberia and the Orient. It is hattering to the national pride that such tributes should be paid to American skill, in- genuity and daring"

The vote of New York was not al- ways necessary to the election of a president. The Empire state cut no figure whatever in 17S9, when George Washington was elected president of the United States. New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island were not represented in the electoral college which named the first president. New York had not passed an electoral law and North Carolina and Rhode Island had not adopted the constitution, 50 only ten of the original thirteen states figured in the election of l7S9. There were seventy three electoral votes in that election, sixty nine of them being cast for George Washington

It looks as though the onerous task of running against Mark Smith for delegate to congress would devolve upon w. F. Cooper, as he and Col. Allen T. Bird seem to be the only re- publicans willing to sacrifice themselves in their party's cause, and Col. Bird is entirely too frank tn supporting the position of the administration on the statehood question to be looked upon with favor by dissembling republican politicians in Arizona. Besides, it ap- pears that Col. Bird spends most of his time in Sonora indicting "Wayside Notes, which has raised the question whether he is citizen of the United States or subject of Mexico. At any rate, the colonel is out of the running, and Mir. Cooper will in all probability lead the forlorn hope in expectation of being rewarded later with federal ap- pointment.
