The more or less esteemed Arizona Gazette, having heretofore determined to join the democratic party, is go- ing through some awkward motions in getting ready for the step. It seems to think that a spectacular entry into ,he democracy is necessary, and appears to be in some distress in providing the required spectacle satisfactory excuses do not seem to present themselves. One excuse. it appears. which it has under tentative consideration is that Governor Sloan,
 Delegate Cameron and Chairman .Sames are republicans. But the trou- ble about this excuse is that there is nothing sensational in the discovery that the gentlemen named are in good standing as members of the republi- can party The Gazette in its shiv- ering hesitation on the rather unin- viting democratic shore, reminds one of a small boy preparing for the first time in early spring to tcckle a cold swimming hole. Why not take the plunge and have done with it.

It being necessary for the county supervisors to provide a new man agement for the county hospital, the question arises as to whether It would
 be wise to continue the contract sys- tenn. This system is cheaper for the taxpayers, possibly, but it has the disadvantage of carrying with it the practical certainty that the inmates of the institution will not receive as much care as they would under a 'salaried superintendent. To citizens .of benevolent impulses it is not par .ticularly pleasant to think of con .dIcting the county hospital oa lines " bich tempt the man in charge to s.int the patients in food and other rcCessaries for his own profi.-and this is practically the situation under the contract system.

 The penalty for this crime is cleo trocution. The defense's counsel moved to set aside the verdict on the ground of its being contrary to the law and the evidence and the resu-t of misdirection by the court. because of various rulings on evidence eX- cepted to by the defense.
 The court overruled the motion fo, a new trial and stated the trial consisted almost entirely of qucst'ous of fact, no question of law entering materially into the jury's decision.
 The defense asked forty days in which to file a petition for a writ "i error to the supreme court of ap- peals of Virginia.

Why Abandon the Word conventiOn7 2


 Although the nominations of can didates for state and county offices will be formally and legally made by the voters at the primary elections of October 24, it is already settled that suggestions for the considerati ton of the voters of the two parties will be made by representatives of the parties, assembled for the purpose
 We note that the press of the ter ritory is quite uniformly referring to these forthcoming assemblages as "conferences" But what occasion is there to abandon the old and fla miliar word convention" as descrip- tive of these assemblages?
 The dictionary definition of the word convention as used in politics is: A gathering of persons; meet ling; an assembly. In the United States, in particular, a meeting of delegates of q political party, to nominate candidates for national, state or local offices, and to formu- late its principles of action; meet ing of a number of persons having a common interest, for the promotion of a common object"
 While the state and county con- ventions which are to be held in Ari- zona this fall will not, as formerly. make nominations that are binding on the parties represented, they will suggest nominations which for all practical purposes will have the ef- feet of nominations. For, if the proposed assemblages are representa- tive in character and are fairly con- ducted, there will be no disposition on the part of the rank and file of the parties to oppose the suggestions deliberately made by their representa- tives. And the assemblages, we an ticipate, will be quite as representa- tive in character as any of the con- ventions hitherto held under the dele gate system. for it is expected that delegates representing the parties will be selected practically in the same manner as before the primary law was enacted.
 We see no need. therefore for T convention" in referring to the meet ings which will undertake to ascer- tain the wishes of the parties repre- sented.

Since the ilrSt or the year the United States has launched two bat tleships of the dreadnaught class, and Japan has launched one The build ing program of Japan is always care fully guarded, but naval experts do not expect that the Japanese govern ment will attempt to keep pace with the United States in the construction of new ships-the Japanese nation is not wealthy enough to compete with the United States and the greater European powers in expenditures for naval purposes.
 While the foregoing table which We have constructed from the statistics published at the beginning of the year shows the United States far ahead of Japan in nominal naval strength, it should be remembered that the diff ference in our favor is largely equal ized by the necessity of our providing a naval defense for both coasts. The strategy of the navy department keeps the bulk of our fleet in At lantic waters, it being assumed that in the event of a war with Japan that nation would strike first at the Philippines; and that in order Jo de lend the Philippines and force the return of the Japanese navy to Japanese waters in the event it had sailed for our Pacific coast. it would be most practicable to send our navy to the Orient by way of the Suez canal rather than from the Pacific coast. The great navy yards, the services of which would be called into full strength in the event of war, are on the Atlantic coast, as are our reserve supplies of guns, ammuni- ton and men, together with the ex- tra equipment generally which would be needed in case of war. All these things tend to influence the depart ment to keep the battleship fleet as d unit in Atlantic waters.
 There will be a change in this strategy, of course, on the comple- ton of the Panama canal Then, probably. a large proportion of our ships will be kept in Pacific waters, the Panama canal enabling our gov ernment to send the fleet quickly from one coast to the other. Senators and representatives from the Pacific coast states insist that a larger number of ships should be stationed in Pacific waters now, but their arguments are of course based largely on sentimental grounds. The strategy involved is ap- pioved by the eastern and southern states. and disapproved by the Pa cific coast states.
 As matters stand, our Pacific coast fleet is no match for the combined fleet of Japan.
 A discussion of the naval strength of the two powers calls for mention of the men behind the guns as well as the ships which carry the guns. The United States has 51,296 officers and men in the navy, with 22,OOO men in the naval reserve. Japan has 10000 officers and men, with re- serve of 10000 men.
 So far from ranking ahead of the United States in naval strength. Ja- pan ranks fourth among the navies of the world, whereas the United
