The people of Arizona are not the
cringing kind. They are generous,
forgiving and just, but not hypo-
critical or cowardly, and they will
deal dead square with President
Taft and the republican congress,
let the result be as it may. They
will not deceive the national con-
gress in the making of their consti-
tuition, but will write in it just
what is needed by our citizens; and
we feel certain that congress, re-

deal justly with our Territory.

FRIDAY, JULY q, 1910

A1tho the state and county. re-
turns are not all in, it is safe to say
that the republican ticket won out
with the exception Of three offices:
senator for short term, lieutenant
governor and commissioner of in
surance. The policy Of the Lead
er all through the campaign has
been for straight republicanism
and now since election is over it is
hoped all papers will dropthe stall
wart and insurgent divisions and
work for the good of the republi-
can ticket. The Leader, like other
republican papers, is rejoicing over
the outcome of the election. A few
we're nominated who were not on
the republican ticket but they will
all be supported in the fall and
fractionalism will be forgotten. A
great deal of the work was done by
individual campaigning, the main
interest being taken in the state
politics. All are republicans again
and should remain so.

Russia has again set up q perse
don of the Jews among her population'
That racial intolerance is at the oo''
tom OF ii would appear from the case
Of Oscar Hamlnerstein. an American
citizen. who was recently barred lrom
st. Petersburg. There seems to be no
onense in MIR. Hammerstein except MS
Jewish blood. The Russian excuse LOT
prosecuting Jews is that their methods
Of getting on make them obnoxious
The Jewish problem in Russia Is a pc
culiar one. but the government seems
to yield to popular clamor in efforts to
solve It.
Occasionally the Jews as a race are
attacked in this country, notably In
New York. which is often spoken OF
by outsiders as a city Of Jews. Jews
as q race are not clannish. They sue
coed best when life is a clash with the
Christians around them. Driven to the
wall, 1t would be natural that they
stand together. Herein lies the folly
Of intolerance In their case Let alone,
they scatter and are valuable citizens.

The Schoolhouse Coming Back.
Chicago school authorities are con-
sidering plans to make the public
school buildings social centers for the
districts in which they r located.
Experiments in other cities are pointed
to as evidence that the scheme is prac-
tical. 1T is merely bringing back the
schoolhouse to its function In primitive
settlements. In the town meeting age
OF this republic the schoolbouse was
the center Of all social and political ac-
tivities. The people maintained it, and
there was no disputing their right to
use 1t.
The schoolhouse may be called a con
secrated building. 1t is the first agent
In social progress. With this kept IN
mind the school board runs little dan
ger of catering to unworthy desires.
The, young are not permitted t . abuse
the privileges of the schoolhouse dur

the republican ticket which was

flying colors' The subscription list

Pensions as CLARITY and "a Reward.
Plans to alleviate the pecuniary
stress of INDECENT age generally meet
with approval. But there is a string
tied to this approval. for It makes the
condition that only the deserving shall
be put on the roll. This is a well nigh
impossible task. for the thriftless and
lazy are never thriftless and lazy when
it comes tc boring for money they
never have earned. On the other hand.
the deserving are sensitive and mod
est. leaving it to others to determine
their merits. 4
INDECENT old age has. a strong claim
for relief: Because old age is in. itself
good:evidence of having lived a useful
life. Civil servants and the mass Of
toilers who have passed long lives in
the same occupations have additional
claims. Constancy deserves reward
because the trained worker is more
useful to the government and to So
ciety than n Yho is continually shift
ing in seeouA q q easier or more lu-
crative Job. The principle followed in
Industrial insurance and in the pension
systems of labor unions aims to re-
ward constancy in employment. The
worker who stays in the game will De
taken care of. but he cannot shirk u
share in the responsibility which the
pension system puts upon others in his
behalf.
