 Should the governor again veto this then all the time consumed in the revising of the criminal code and all the time consumed by the legislature in its consideration will be lost and the present session of the legislature proong ed for the further consideration of the criminal code will be the result of the determination of the governor to- force his individual views regarding capital punishment the legislature and the people of Arizona regardless of and consequences It is hardly likely that Governor Hunt will undertake to maintain such an attitude

 The people of Arizona have been hearing heap lately about highway from the Atlantic the Pacific propo- sition in which all interested.
 In the contest between scenery and history for con- trolling consideration in connection with the proposed inter highway from Santa Fe the Pacific coast scenery has won.
 The matter has been settled at the annual meeting of the National Old Trails association It had been agreed from all sides that from Kansas City Santa Fe the high way should follow closely the old Santa Fe ra but its westward of that point has been subject of dispute Those whom historic interest strong anxious that the highway should follow line taken by caravans from Santa Fe to California and over which marched the expeditions of Generals Donphan and Kearney. Others urged that automobile tourists the road should not be deprived of the sight of the beauties of found further northward notably the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado.
 This decision of the association shows appreciation of the object of the highway It IS for the convenience and delight of those who desire the door recreation that the automobile makes possible to which all the beauty of land scape should be made to contribute The of this char acter IS for the present. not for the past I need for today and not for a memorial
 It is well enough to mark the old trails and pathways for the easier inspection and instruction of those whose teres may be attracted to them It fortunate too when they idenical many they are with the practical highway routes, but when this identity ceases the greater pleasure to the greater number certainly provided by the route that appeals to the eye rather than the reflective faculty.

Governor Hunts Great Service.

Unwittngy Governor Hunt has done great service to the State of Arona by his radical prison policies and arb
 ary attitude towards capital punishment He has aroused
 the people of the State the gravity of conditions that have arisen through laxty in dealing with murder cases and awakened them to their responsibility the discharge of jury duty It safe to predict that when the question of
 the abolition of capital punishment is submitted to the voters and rejected undoubtedly 1t must be this State will be about unsafe place there is in the nation for deer to commit his crimes And in the meantime 1t a pears that the people intend express their disapprova of the pastme of shooting down fellow with first degree murder verdcs though they know that the condemned will be saved temporarily at least from the gaows by the misused pardon power of the chief executive.
 The fact that took than five minutes for the jury that passed the of William Stewart in Phoenix reach verdict of first degree murder and demand the
 eme penalty may be taken indication of the attitude of the people of the State at large towards the governor hanging policy. The vere from which the jury in the Stewart drawn summoned from practically every section of Arizona except Ga county And what the people here think about capital punishment shown plainly enough when out of fortyve picked at random from among the taxpayers, only found who expressed themselves opposed the death penalty for murderers
 It is truth that be evaded that Arizona has for
 many years borne unenvable reputation place where human life held too cheapy And now 1t has been made nations laughing stock If object of pity as place where criminal tired of hard work may find haven Of refuge and good living by conrvng to get himself arrest ed and condemned to States prison.
 The people of the State recognize the existence of this condition of affairs and intend find remedy; it pabe that Governor Hunt be aroused to the reaza ton

Crocodile Solicitude.

The action of Governor Hunt vetong the code bill lowering the maximum price of public printing from 75 cents to 35 cents inch would lead first blush draw the conclusion that Mr. Hunt great friend of the newspapers and desired above everything else that they thrive prosper and wax fat
 The veto message goes into the cost of printing at great length and displays strange familiarity with the business for who until short time ago devoted his time and at tenton to the handling of ham, tea coffee, butter and other commodities of commerce
 Be that it may we do not believe and we are frank say would be difficult convince that the soicitude the Governor osesby evnces for the newspaper profession general genuine particularly when is taken into consd eraon that there action by the of the State against the bill However one paper the Phoenix Gazette the personal organ of the Governor and the recipient of the bulk of the advertising done by the State vsibly perurbed the threatened reduction would have its from such than in half So the light begins to shine the dark places and makes the way plain that way faring though a fool, may walk and not therein
 The Journal Miner believes and IS strong advocate of fair price for public printing It has the welfare of the press of the State at heart and desires prosper ire spectve of the political beliefs of the various papers But what State papers with the exception of the Phoenix Gazette have been favored with any of the printing the State has in its power to bestow? As far the Journal Miner is concerned does expect does want

LET US BE FRIENDS.

IL seems after all that the peremp- tory demand sent to the local Cham Der of Commerce insisting that that body telegraph to the Arizona dele gation in Congress and ask those men to nullify the work accomplish ed by the valiant band of Northern Arizonans in securing the routing of the ocean-to-ocean highway through this section of the State, was not au- thorized by the Maricopa Auto Club. The signature of that organization was attached to the telegram, how ever, and under the circumstances the Journal Miner feels it was fully justified in commenting on. the mat ter in the way it did. By telephone Dr. Redwell of Phoenix however asks this paper to say that the party send ing out the telegram acted without the sanction of the club, a fact we are glad to give publicity as the message was without exception the most colossal exhibition of nerve that has come to our notice for many year.
 The Journal Miner IS not section al in its feelings or policy and de- .ires above everything else the pros eerity and up-building of the whole State. On the other hand we will not counternance any such raw work as was attempted by the party that sent out that telegram. We admire the spirit shown by the boosters of Mohave, Coconino and Apache coun- ties in sending a delegation to the Kansas City Old Trails Association convention. and want to take our hat off to them for the victory they achieved. We do not propose to see that bunch of Tive wires" maligned or their work undone without rais-

ing our voice in protest They de- serve credit, and great credit. too, and our chief regret Is that the State is not wholly populated in all its sections by such people as Mohave, Coconino and Apache can justly boast of.
 There should be no sectionalism in Arizona There should be no imag- mary line drawn between the north and the south. We are one great State, and one people, and we should act in concert to develop it and make its name one to conjure with, remembering that with unity of purpose we go ahead but when at cross-purposes nothing of benefit will result.
 Therefore we are pleased to know that the Maricopa Auto Club was not guilty of the gross breach of the amenities the telegram referred to would indicate, and we stretch out the hand of friendship to it, assuring it as body and the individual mem bers that when they arrive in Pres colt on their trip to the Grand Can yon early in July, there will be welcome awaiting them by the peo- pie of Prescott that will leave no doubt in their minds that we are will ling to meet them more than half way on anything that is for the good of Arizona.
