We are glad to learn that the story of the hold ing of James s. Douglas for ransom of $50oOo0 by the constitutionalistas of Cananea is untrue. We glad not only for the sake of MT. Douglas, but also for the sake of the reputation of the stitutionalistas It would have been a reflection upon their business capacity it would have been proof of their desperate need of money

 When the American language throws off it's pretense of being English learns a natural pride when it is possible to write American with scholarly that Mark Twain devoted the dialect of "1uck Finn" then the American spirit will embody itself in literature. Far more intimate will be that embodiment than any descrip- tion of American life however vivid, in a language that fluctuates between American and English, in words with traditions, English and one American turn and turn about in the writer's mind. Nothing much impedes English readers in their enjoyment of American writing their obstinate assumption that they reading their lan-

We Are Learning to Walk

Our excellent contemporary. the Arizona Rec ord takes think, too gloomy view of the sti nation. but the time suggests an effec- tive remedy for such evils government actually exist in the following:
 We are not surprised, however, that Ari-
 Zona's first experience in self government
 is sad disappointment the writer for
 years before the territory was admitted to
 the union of states predicted it would be-
 aware, he was of the vagaries and ire
 sponsibility of the average Arizona poli-
 tician what party he trained
 with. It is this class political incom-
 petents that find filling not only the
 appointive offices, but many of the elective
 offices, as Well-chosen by the people them
 selves, and long hold party
 success above honest and efficient govern
 ment, improvement in the admnistra-
 tion of public affairs need be looked for
 Partisan zeal is the bane of American poli
 tics and where is it in evidence
 than in Arizona Ni.i
 The remedy lies in independent political
 action by the responsible people of the state
 In rfo other way an efficient and eco-
 nomical administration affairs
 obtained.
 We cannot concede that the government has been sad disappointment though popular expec- tation has been fully That is perhaps, the of popular expectation. It was inevitable that first government could not be the best We must creep before walk. We could not full-fledged from territorial egg. The butterfly emerging from the chrysalis has not yet donned his gay cooring We had not yet lighted the lamp of experience. It has been burning only little more than year, and still stand blink ing and confused by it's glaring rays. We'll soon get used to it and get bearings.
 When came into statehood had some things to unlearn well as others to learn. Some of us had dreams and vagaries. and we were yet to awaken and find out that they were reali- ties. Our experience has been in a considerable part that of every young state
 Another thing is to be taken into consideration Arizona into the union at peculiarly dffi- cult time A moral and political revolution spreading the country. Opinions that had been held the beginning of the government were being aside. Machine politicians who had been preserving a sembance orderliness on the sur removed from leadership new ideals were taking their places There natur- ally resultant confusion in not only Arizona, but also in many of the older states
 Mistakes made in the election. Not withstandng start toward reform many of thought that it could be best effected through partisanship. Some candidates were chosen less for their fitness than a recognition of former political services and, likewise some of the ap- pointive offices have been filled
 But all this in the process of learning, and have learned. There will be less of partisan ship in the next election. We believe that the edy Brother Hamm suggests will be applied 'in- dependent political action by the responsible peo- pie of the state"
 We have not lost the slightest grain of faith in the capacity of the people of Arizona for self government in the wisdom and honesty of the majority.
