THE SEWER QUESTION.

To the Editor of The Republican;
Sir-At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Monday night when the bids
for the sewer bonds were opened,
two points were made clear:
First-That it is impossible to sell
the bonds until the present litigation
is disposed of.
Second-That it will take at least
two years to dispose of it.
Now it may appear right to those
who oppose the bonds and are urg-
ing the council to fight and delay,
but the welfare of the city should
be considered first, above all and the
subject should be taken from the
hands of all selfish interest and
brought down to a sound business
proposition
This same question was submitted
to a community composed of the
heaviest tax payers of Phoenix and
while this report was wrong, in my
Judgment in advocating the monthly
plan for payment, it did determine
the value of the property and also
found that il was ample for all time
to come to take care of the district
that it was constructed to provide
for and furthermore. it can be used
as a part of the proposed new sys-
TEN. The present system has pro-
vided sewerage for the business por-
ton of Phoenix for many years and
is doing so today and giving perfect
satisfaction, except the monthly
rental and | can see no reason why
the business men and tax payers
!
Phoenix should not get together and
insist that the council act at once
and relieve the unsanitary condition
of our city. The sewer company is
in no position to hold up the city,
the franchise provides a way to pur-
chase in case a mutual price cannot
be agreed upon.
The sewer company should receive
a fair valuation for its property and
no more. We certainly do not want
to confiscate it's property even though
we could do so by spending much
time and money in going through the
courts; then on the other hand as
IL was explained TO the council, if
the matter is delayed until we are
state the difference in the inter
est of the bonds alone will more
than pay for the entire system 50
what are We fighting for Simply TO
satisfy few sore heads who con-
tinually stand in the way of pros
eress. 1t is high time we set aside
all such differences and eliminate
petty factions in our public improve
ments for we are certainly in great
need of crosswalks paved streets and
an adequate sewer system which
must come first. Let US get busy
and go forward for a greater and
better Phoenix. 4 tax payer.

The Duty of Los Angeles.

In providing generously by popular
subscriptions for the families Of the
workmen who We're assassinated in
the Times building, the people of Los
Angeles have wisely recognized their
double duty-their duty to do every
thing possible to brinx TO justice the
fiends who committed the unspeak-
families of the victims The Times
owners had announced that they
would take care of the families Of
their murdered men, but the people
Of Los Angeles insisted that they also
must take part in providing for the
bereaved families To have done less
would have brought a reflection upon
the citizenship of Los Angeles, for
the atrocious crime of a week ago
has placed that city upon trial before
the country. Justice will never be
satisfied until the murderers have
been subjected to the severest pun
ishment of the law, and the good
name of Los Angeles will not be re-
stored until justice has been done
to the murderous fiends on the one
hand, and to the families of their vic
tins on the other. The damage to
Los Angeles cannot be measured in
millions of dollars if the murderers
are permitted to escape. To guaran-
tee the safety of life and property is
the first duty of every community,
and were Los Angeles to permit the
world to entertain a belief that that
city is a safe place for anarchists to
practice their doctrines, the city would
not only cease to grow, but would
speedily decline. Happily. Los An
geles is alive to her duty, and pro-
poses to do her duty. There is no
danger that anarchy may secure a
permanent foothold in that wonderful
city.

that thousands of citizens who had
taken part in the rebellion were
hanged or shot But even the stupid
and cruel ear learned a lesson from
that revolt. He granted a measure of
self government to the people, and
the peoples representatives-the
douma-are grasping more and more
power at every session.
The efforts of William OF Germany
to stay the rising tide of republican
ism are obvious failures to everybody
but himself. His speech of a few
weeks ago, in which he asserted that
he ruled by divine right and not by
the will of the people. was answered
by a sullen and ominOus growl from
every corner of his empire. One Of
the immediate results was the cleo
ton of a dozen additional socialists
to the reichstag, where that party had
already established itself with a
strong representation. William has
succeeded several times in riding
rough-shod over the constitution and
the peoples representatives, but his
success in each instance has been di-
rectlv traceable to the eXigencies Of
the hour-he has successfully ap-
pealed to the patriotic spirit of his
people by assuring them that the
fatherland was in danger from for
eign enemies and that its safety re-
ouired them to sustain him in his
policies. The popular conviction that
the German emperor is an intensely
patriotic German, and that, however
misguided he may be as to his au-
thority from heaven he is an embodi-
ment of all the German virtues and
is working faithfully according to his
lights for the betterment Of his sub
jects, serves to protect him and his
house from the acts of political par
in his life a pronounced movement for
German republic. But the repub-
lican spirit is growing in Germany
unquestionably. Williams successor
will have to be contented with a
nominal sovereignty like that of the
king of England, or give up the job
altogether.
Even in Spain the republican tide is
steadily rising. For years to come it
may be safely guided in the channel
of increased power for the people, I'M
der the forms of a constitutional mon
archy, but the days of absolutism are
gone, never to return.
Belgium is already a republic, in
everything but name, as is Great
Britain.
In Austria, every succeeding session
of the parliament finds the people
more strongly entrenched.
And so it goes throughout the old
world. With even Turkey governed
by parliament and its former despot
fretting his life away in prison, the
cause of absoIutism is in bad way.

HAUNTING APPEAL IN VOICE OF
THE WEST.

1t Is little wonder that Theodore
Roosevelt swells with enthusiasm
when he enters the great west, says
the Boston Traveller. SO does every
man of spirit and imagination who
has seen ii and felt its power and
drawn its free breath.
If there is any realm in Gods big
world where littleness and provin-
cialism fall off like superfluous gar
ments and a man expands his own
proper dimensions that realm is in
the vast land west of the Mississippi
river.
Have you ridden all day through
Kansas corn or Iowa wheat, where
field joins field in plummed green or
shimmering gold, without a break for
hundreds of miles Have you seen the
foothills of the Rockies rise up like
blue mist of early morning? Have
you climbed Pixies Peak to see how
the world Is built, and cantered
through granite canyons where there
is enough loose rock piled around ii
build all the cities of the earth, with
enough left over for the foundations
Of another continent?
Have you stood on a Montana hill.
with a clean eye sweep OF so miles to
north, east south and west, and seen
the setting sun like cOnflagration
over mountains piled on mountains,
toward the far coast? Have you jour
neyed for days in Idaho or Wyoming
without sight of a human habitation?
Have you choked in the alkali dust
gulches of Nevada and parched in the
hot glare of the desert and seen the
full moon over the rolling plains of
New Mexico, and bowled down over
the Sierras into the garden spot of
the hemisphere2

The Growth of the Republican Spirit

The Growth of the Republican Spirit.
The ease with which a republic
was established upon the ruins of
PortugaPs monarchy will no doubt
cause the monarchs Of the world to
"sit up and take notice" According
to the latest dispatches, less than 300
lives were lost in the conflicts be-
tween the republican insurgents and
the royalist troops. The explanation
is found in the refusal of the troops
to sustain with force the crumbling
throne
The chief reliance, If not the whole
reliance, of monarchs who purport to
rule by divine right is the military
arm. When the army and navy re-
fuse to do the bidding of the throne,
the king is gone.
The failure of the Russian revolu-
ton of five years ago was caused by
the loyalty of the army and navy to
the car. Certain sections of the
navy did join the revolt. but the great
majority of the Russian sea force
stood by the car, and the rebellious
sailors paid for the experiment with
their lives. The complete statistics
of the cars campaign of revenge
will never be known, but it is certain

The Main Question.

The facile pencil of Mr.. Howe Will
liams, Arizona's premier artist and
cartoonist, has furnished in today's
cartoon a graphic picture of the
question which confronts the consti-
tutionaI convention. The point illus
trated is trite, of course. But the
fables of Aesop, the unlettered slave,
written away back yOnder' when
continue for all time TO afford an in
exhaustible storehouse for writers and
artists-because human nature never
changes, and Aesop's genius enabled
him to, set forth in simple fables the
weaknesses of humanity more graph
ically than the most learned men of
the world have been able in any man
ner to portray.
The fable of the honest dog which
dropped a good bone for the shadow
of this same bone in the water illus
trates, and will illustrate for all time,
a familiar weakness of human nature.
The things we have within our grasp
are never so valuable, in our estima-
ton, as the things we have not yet
obtained and which are magnified in
size or beauty through the enchant-
ing influences of Imagination and dis
tance.
The constitutional convention will
assemble in the capitol building to-
morrow More important than all
other questions that may come before
it is the question: Will it drop state
hood in exchange for the shadowy
allurements Of an impossible utopia?
For more than twenty years the
people z-of Arizona have demanded
statehood. The impression went
abroad that statehood, in our judg
ment, would be more valuable to us
than anything else that we could OBJ
tain or achieve. With great reluc
US to come in, under certain condi-
tions-these conditions being that we
should comply with the terms Of the
enabling act and write a constitution
which the president and congress
could approve.
Ali at once, the bone of statehood
having been handed US, we began to
see visions Of greater things than
statehood itself. If these greater
things could not be obtained, we
might as well let statehood fall into
the pool, it was argued.
And possibly those who have made
and are making this argument are
right. Possibly they are much wiser
than those of us who believe that
statehood itself would be of i'm
measurable value to Arizona.
At any rate, The Republican and
the republicans of Arizona generally
are not presuming to obtrude any
advice upon the constitutional con-
vention.
We shall take pleasure, however, in
printing from day to day. during the
convention, the details Of it's proceed
ings, and in giving our readers a
truthful and unprecedented account of
the things that happen and the rea-
sons why they happen-and accom-
panied by such comments as develop
ments warrant.

Three of the candidates for the
presidency of the constitutional con-
vention-Webb, Goldwater and Hunt
have had experience in presiding over
one branch or the other of the legis-
lature Winsor has attended many
legislatures in a clerical capacity, and
knows all about the job. Franklin
has had no legislative experience, we
believe, but he is a man of fine intel
ligence and excellent poise. 1t is safe
to say, therefore, that the convention
is sure to have a competent presiding
officer.
