nouncement and reference to players employs among others, the following expressions: Clifton eleven" which sounds very much like football; "wickets," which reminds one of the strenuous game of croquet; "stumps drawn at o'clock" an expression that recalls tender memories of mum blety peg" good form" which must certainly savor of the prize ring; bats, balls, runs and fielding" which are suggestive of baseball; long on," long off and Hong leg" a decided reference to yatcht racing; the nets" without which lawn tennis would be innocuous: Santa Monica bowlers," an expression easily coupled with the ten pin alleys, etc, etc. The only really vigorous and healthful Ameri- can sport, the leading features of which do not seem to be perpetuated in the game of cricket is Button, button, who's got the button" While utterly in the dark concerning the technique of cricket or the cards re- quired to open a jack pot in the game, The Republican endorses it on gen eral principles and hopes the Clifton team will be quickest on the draw and shoot the eye out of the Cali fornians.

ratus placed in the well to a new platform higher up. He jokingly re- marked the other day that if the raise continued he would soon have to build a platform for it above ground and the people of Phoenix would find it necessary to thread their way through the streets in boats after the manner of the Vene- tians.
 The connection between present con ditions and the opening remarks con corning the reclamation project, lies in the fact that for the last year there has not only been a good sup ply of water in the river, but there has been an almost constant irriga- ton of the lands under the direction of the government engineers. Though the rainfall has beep much greater in recent years titan during the dry cycle it has been but little in excess of the normal average, being this year to date between two and three inches excess. Prof Lee is too eminent a ge- ologist to have his findings questioned by The Republican and if he is even approximately correct concerning the time necessary for the raising of the water table by percolation from above, the raise must have been brought about in large measure through the seepage from the canals which the government has kept well filled
 Even if Prof. Lee is slightly in er- TOT as to the time required the val ley is to be congratulated that his error was on the side of conservatism and whether he was in error or not the valley is to be congratulated on the prevailing condition which in one way or another is largely due to the reclamation service. The condition demonstrates a more permanent and dependable underground water supply than the most optimistic had hoped for; one that is more easily rejuven- ated than anyone had imagined It is also the first fulfillment of the com mon prediction that with regular and constant irrigation the ground will be- come so saturated with moisture that a contsantly lessening flow of ditch water will accomplish a given amount of work, or to put it in another way. the same quantity of water constant ly applied will irrigate an ever wid- ening area of farm land. These facts but one of the pleasant sur prises the valley has had and will have as the years go by.

CRICKET.

Phoenix needs a cricket team for the reason that it would not cost a great deal and that game seems to embrace the best features of every sport with which civilized man is familiar. In making that statement the writer confesses entire ignorance of the game and draws his conclu- sion, from half column in the Los Angeles Times, announcing a cricket game last Saturday between a south ern California team and a team com posed of Clifton, Arizona men. Crick- ct, like "Shinny on the ice" tobog gaming and yacht racing, is rather new in Arizona and as the writer has been in Arizona longer than it took some men to achieve fame and die. his ignorance of the game is neither surprising nor criminal

From a republican point of view it is deplorable that the factional con- troversy between the Taft republicans of California headed by the Los An geles Times and the Lincoln Roose- welt League has become so bitter that the Times seems unwilling to drop the issue even after practically eat ing it's adversary alive: Neverthe- less the country at large is receiving some benefit in that the Times has, temporarily at least, allowed it's threatened Japanese war to relapse into a state of coma.

A SUGGESTION

A FTER entertaining the sailors of
Al the fleet in a manner unrivaled by
"a any other city on the coast, Los
Angeles finds that handsome sum of
money has been left over. Receipts
were nearly $4,000 more than the esti-
mate. and expenditures more than
$4,000 under the appropriation 1t IS
easy to suggest what should be done
with this money, because a legitimate
and timely use for it is obvious 1t
should be given to the Associated Char
tiles, a benevolent organization which
Los Angeles can ill afford to lose, but
the permanence of which has been
by financial difficulties. We
believe our suggestion will be welcomed
by officials who may be somewhat puz-
zled as to the proper method of using
funds which were given for special
purpose and earned on a special occa
sion. The officers of the Associated
Charities who have sent out an appeal
for help will see a ray of hope and
announcement in the prospect that q
sum may be provided which
will help tide them over their diff

takers who start spurious churches,
or create spurious excitement about
spurious causes" from booming which
they derive real revenue in genuine
coin. Whether the faker deals in
spooks or in fads and fancies, he should
be prevented from influencing more or
less helpless men, women and children
who are always eager to run after the
latest cult, apparently always eager to
be duped, and always easily duped.
No religious movement or "ghostiy
movement of any kind should be al
lowed to do a money making or money
collecting business in this city or coun-
ty without first presenting it's creden-
tails to a committee composed of repre-
sentative citizens and of ministers of all
denominations. This committee would
soon find out whether a self-styled
apostle was an apostle indeed, or mere
ly clever and needy person with
enough ingenuity to attract an audi
ence hold it more or less "spellbound,"
and pass the hat. To prevent public
speech from being used for the purpose
of extracting money from guilible audi
ences would not be an interference with
freedom of speech. 1t would only be an
interference with freedom of bunco
steering, and would fill long felt want.

DO WE MURDER IN COLD BLOOD
WHEN WE HANG A FELLOW MAN

LOS ANGELES, May 27.-rEditor
Herald: If Mrs M. c. Bayse's indict-
ment could be brought home to the
collective conscience, self-conviction
would certainly follow. We should
plead guilty almost unanimously, and
legal murder would be thing Of the
past. We have already got almost be-
yond the barbaric punishment" ideal
1 mean in thought, though. alasi not
in act. But there are still many people
who uphold the death penalty for Its
imagined deterrent effect. For such the
need is Observation-Disclosures, 1 mean,
of the observational and statistical or
der-which would teach them that the
deterrent" effect of brutal punishment
is a myth; that In the days when sheep
stealing and even pigeon stealing was
punished with hanging, so far from
this having a deterrent effect, people
actually lived (until the law saw to it
that they died) by the practice of this
very offense.
Most thinking people today deprecate
capital punishment, but there is little
public spirit Folks go on for years
thinking a certain thing before they
get together to voice their sentiment
unitedly. AS with the brutal, heavy
prison sentences, so with capital pun
ishment the people who agree with
such primitive methods are for the most
part those of the crude and primitive
order of intellect, the people who don't
think. but meet all pleas for saneT
ways with some frenzied outburst OF
atavistic feeling: What! Not hane
the scoundrel? Why, I'd soak him ir
kerosene and set light to him!" Thai
| is the kind of thing that usurps the
place of rational thought in too many
cases.
| How many people, wonder, are CIV
ing a second thought to the fact thai
in this state a man is at this moment
lying under a death sentence in Sar
| tempted prison breaking. 1t is no an
swer 20 say: "That is the law!" Such
a law disgraces the state and every
one in the state who countenances sucf
a law. Not as a matter of fact thai
many do "countenance" it; they simply
tolerate it; they don't worry. on

BELIEVES BIG NAVlES ARE
LIKELY TO PROVOKE WAR

LOS ANGELES, May 26.-lEditor
Herald: II the several nations all had
small navies-say nearly equal-accord-
ing to the present day reasoning, little
provocation would start war. Then
some nation starts to increase it's num-
Der of war vessels, and another and
another and so on till all have big
navies would there not be the same
equality as when these We're only small
nayies? And wouldn't the probability
of war be the same?
In the judgment of the writer, when
Capt. Hobson tells the public that
big navy will prevent war he's talking
through his hat" Or If the United
States was the only country with big
navy it would prevent other nations
with small navies from being very bel
ligerent toward this country. But thera
is no probability of such status.
England already has big navy. SO
has France and Japan. Those who are
able will bring themselves up to par
on a par footing and keep up to that
standard, so as to be ready IL there Is
a provocation to fight.
The peace people are right. Inc less
facilities for fighting the less hghting
there will be. If my conclusion is nor
right, please tell your readers what Is.
