Public Opinion

with the Jay Bird politicians. This, we think, is good advice. Any court in Arizona will take judicial notice that complaint which seeks to ex- tract such a vast sum from the pockets of Editor Dunbar is frivolous in the extreme. Give the average Arizonia editor a look at $20,000 and he would die of fright, and Colonel Dunbar is no exception to the general rule.
 The Citizen does not believe that Editor Dunbar is lying awake nights worrying over the time when ne shall have to dig up this large sum. IT the Jones suit goes the road of most actions for libel, it will be dropped after the complainant has received sufficient publicity.
 We know nothing of the merits of the Jones suit, but Editor Dunbar has been doing valiant service in throwing the limelight on irregularities at the capitol and he is not a man who will be frightened away from the post oi
 duty by libel suits.

If the Governor has been abused, if he has been deprived of his rights, why doesn't he, instead of seeking relief in the referendum, resign his office and come before the people for vindication. If he is so magnificent ly right in his attitude of governor, he can and would be reelected by the people of Arizona. WE DARE HIM TO TRY THE EXPERIMENT. He boastingly shouted many months ago. that IF ONE OF HIS HONOR MEN RAN AWAY HE WOULD RESIGN HIS POSITION AS GOVERNOR. We'll, dozens of them have gone, but the gentleman still holds his office, Arizona Democrat.

KINGMAN, May 16.-Realistic con- ditions of the wild and wooly west of other days were vividly reenacted at Gold Roads in Moheve county on Friday night last, when two highway men entered McConne1lS saloon, ana held up a bunch of 5 loiterers therein and raked in the cash of the owner to the tune of $1,500. The roppers were armed with sawed off shotguns, and after linirg up the men Tn the room. compelled the owner to go to the safe and empty every drawer onto the floor. The hour was late, ana the til had also been deposited with the exception of the chicken feed change. Arrivals from Kingman give thrilling account of the transaction. All habitues of the place at the tune were made to ''ilne up" to the wall, at the same time throwing up tneir hands in the good old fashioned way. There was not murmur oI nrotest as it was clearly discernlple to the victims that the holdups meant 1 business if any one attempted 10 blink an eye, in resisting The whole affair was over in less than five min

Four sessions of a legislature under the most favorable conditions is a serious matter, but when such sessions are filled with assaults upon the busl- ness interests of the state 1t be- comes something far more serious than political defections. The demo cratic party of Arizona is composed or sane, sensible, patriotic men and they will not in any manner sanction the antics of these socialists who, under the banner of democracy, sought to inject their red flag doctrines into the business and political affairs of Ari- Democrat.

The most cheering thought in con nection with the final adjournment of the legislature is that Arizona will not have another legislative session for nearly two years. It will probably take the state longer than that to re- cover from the effects of this last one
 But then we have had legislatures be fore in Arizona perhaps almost as bad, and the shortcomings of one of these led the late Judge Hackney, founder of the Silver Belt, to suggest an amendment to the constitution pro- vidiug that the legislature should meet only every ten years.-Globe Record

HUNTS VIEW IS DISTORTED.
 (pichon RpuiQW

When Governor Hunt states. as ne did in his message accompanylng ms veto of the penal code. that all of his troubles with the legislature were oc- casioned by "Reactionary Interests he strays from the facts and it be comes apparent that his vision is dis torted. During the last session Of the legislature there were few repre- sentatives of what he terms re-ac- .tionary interests" at Phoenix and those few were little in evidence. The governor is looking in the wrong directions for the source Of his troubles. he can find it much closer to home.
 The cause of desertion of Governor Hunt by his erstwhile colleagues lies with himself and his policies. He has shown a fixed determination to carry out his own policies despite the fact that these are opposed by the laws of Arizona and are not approved l by the people, It was popular dis approval which drove his friends from his support.

Words of condemnation could not be too strong for the action of the leg1s' lature in refusing to pass an appro- priation for an Arizona exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1915.
 Every western state has made pro- vision for representation with the ex- ception of our own, and that we did not can be attributed to the small mental calibre of those whom by fortuitous circumstances misrepre- sented us in the halls of legislation By letting the internecine strife ln the democratic ranks interfere with their plain duty these alleged solons have done tho state incalcuable ana irreparable injury and made tms commonwealth ridiculous in the eyes of the world.

Governor Hunt in his address to the Arizona Medical conference at Globe told the assembled medicos that It was for them to cure the criminals and make them honest men. If the governor means that the criminals should take their medicine he has the people with him. That is just what is being asked of him, that those con victed of crime be compelled to take the prescriptions written by the law and iuries-Bisbee Review.

 It is not prerogative of the govern or of Arizona to nullify the effect of any statute by subterfuge. IT the law is wrong, it should be changed py the legislature or the people and not by the governor.

The third special session of the Arizona legislature came to hnal wind up last Saturday at noon, after spectacularly putting the penal code and new pardon board over Governor Hunts veto by an overwhelming vote. It was a fitting finale. The House members disclosed the govern ors prison policy, or rather lack of it, and proved to the satisfaction of most people that the governor and prison officials had overlooked the law. The Senate endeavored to hand the House members all the unpopu- larity possible, then came the grand finale, when both the Senate and House joined hands in one accord and sheared the governor of his power to pardon, placing it in the hands of the Attorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruction, which two off cers were to appoint third member of the pardon board. In view of the fact that both houses of the legisla- ture were overwhelmingly democratic, it would appear that harmony is not rampant in the present administra- tion. All the years of a republican state administration never witnessed more hearty repudiation.-Coconino Sun.
