USELESS INVESTIGATION

The city council has at last decided
to investigate" the upheaval in the
public library, whereby Miss Jones was
deposed and Charles r. Lummis was
installed in her place. The inquiry
began last night and witnesses have
been summoned.
Just what good all this will do Is
problematical The action by the IL
brary board took place some months
ago, and to all intents and PURPOSES
was perfectly legal. The board deemed
that the institution was not as eff
not bring to the city the maximum of
service, and that a man would i'm
prove conditions known to exist there.
Action was duly taken; Miss Jones
was asked to step out and Mr.. Lummis
was installed. He has been librarian
de facto ever since, and no complaints
of his services have been heard.
Possibly, at the time of this action,
a full Investigation would have done
some good in soothing the feelings of
lhc utpoStu SoullS NOllldll. III so, IIldL
was the time when an inquiry should
have been held. Now, months after
the event, conditions have adjusted
themselves; Miss Jones doubtless has
ether business ON hand, Mr.. Lummis is
firmly installed, and the incident should
be considered closed. Nothing is to be
gained by reopening the question, the
mess is an unsavory one at best, as
is always the case where a man dis
possesses a woman; Miss Jones has no
hopes of regaining her post, but merely
desires a "vindication"-whic as
nothing of moment is charged against
her, seems of little importance to her
or to her friends, and the controversy
will merely revive more or less bitter
ness and be of no gain in the end.
1t is pity that the whole thing
could not have been dropped and al
lowed to fade from the public mind,
instead of being revivified to the mani
fest harm Of the library itself and the
imminent possibility of stirring UP
anew hard feelings. if nothing more.

VlcTIM on me BIC SICK

The fighting minority in congress has
met with temporary repulse IN its ef-
fort to prevent Joint statehood for Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. The house re-
fuses TO permit amendment Of the
Hamilton bill
This means that a political crime Is
about to be committed, for which the
Republican party and President Roose-
welt himself must be held strictly
responsible without reason, without
argument, without the least semblance
OF right or Of Justification the Repub-
lican majority in congress adheres TO
its purpose to link Arizona with New
Mexico and even to declare that the
capital Of the joint state shall be
Santa Fe.
Democrats in the house have done
their best, and are still at work-aided
by number OF patriotic Republicans
to defeat the proposition of joint state
hood, and somewhere or somehow the
opportunity may develop for success,
or perhaps only for postponement. But
the odds are now all in favor Of the
triumph Of the radical Republican pro-
gram.
What this will mean for Arizona can
better be imagined than described. If
Arizona shall be brought into the Union
under these circumstances, with even
its capital removed to Santa he, It will
be a check upon her progress and much
encouragement to her enterprising
people.
But great is the Republican party!
And greater still is Roosevelt and the
Sig Stick.

COUNCIL is CONSERVATIVE
Smarting Under Recent Experiences
HanIey's Appeal for Men Is
CoIdIY Met

Street superintendent Hanley last
night presented to the council at its
adjourned session an ordinance Gre
a ting forty-five additional positions in
his department
Still snarting from the censure they
received for passing Il gas ordinance
hastily on Monday. the councilmer
grew ultra conservative and declined
even to discuss the merits of this
ordinance before referring it to a COM
mittec.
The ordinance presented by the street
superintendent provides for one SUI
perintendent at a salary of Sis a
month; four inspectors at a salary of
$50 month each, and forty drivers at
81 day. They are to form the new
garbage collection crew.
An ordinance adopted several months
ago places garbage collection and in
cineration arter February 1 under the
supervision of the street department.
The garbage superintendent and one of
the inspectors will probably be trans
ferred from the health to the street
department
