TWO ELECTIONS MEG
ESSARY IN ARIZONA


AITOUl uuT>Qdy : Jdlly.)
T. G. Norris, president OF the
Arizona Good Roads Association,
lawyer, and all-around booster Tor
everything that tends to the benefit
and development OF the state, sees
trouble ahead il Arizona continues
TO vote Tor candidates and on mi
tiative. referendum and constitution
al amendment propositions all at
the same time and on the same bal
lot.
Why" said he, 1t means that
candidates, and not principles. are
discussed; that the proper consider
alton is not given to the most
very necdiul things; that this state
is liable to become the freak state
of the entire union. At the last
election 4 number OF people wanted
to make some addresses not only
in this county, but in other counties
OF the state. on the various meas
ures which appeared on the ballot in
the form of amendments to the
constitution and the initiative and
referendum. but the various political
central committees barred them Tor
fear such addresses would hurt the
various candidates on the ticket. As
a result the candidates were dis
cusscd all over the state, and little
said about the principles which are
to bind the people in the form OF
new laws. And this meant the de-
feat OF some of the best propositions
and the passage OF some freak meas
ures which can do this state nothing
but harm for years to come. The
initiative and referendum cannot
possibly serve the purpose for which
they were intended unless they are
voted on at an election when no
candidates are involved. | see no
other way. if we are to retain these
principles. than to hold two elections,
one for the exclusive purpose OF
electing candidates and the other es
pecially for the passage OF initiative,
referendum and amendment PROPOSE
tons. This will give the people a
chance to vote intelligently. after a
fair. free and full discussion OF the
principles involved, which are pro-
posed for either the veal or woe OF
the public | believe | am safe in
saying that a very large per cent
OF the electorate OF Arizona at the
recent election voted on the propo-
sitions on the bottom OF the ballot
without knowing what they were
voting for or against. Such an cleo
ton gives designing and ignorant
people a chance to slip into our
statute books all kinds OF freakish
laws and jokers that will finally
make the state a laughing stock in
the eyes OF other states OF the
union.
The legislature this winter by all
means should take up this matter.
The best things is in the initiative
and referendum cannot be gotten
out unless they are voted on at a
time when candidates and the in
terests OF Office seekers are not the
paramount issue. Ii the course |
suggest is followed. it would mean
that more than the bare title OF pro-
posed measures could appear on the
ballot. giving every one at least a
lair show to vote intelligcntly"

An amended complaint was filed
yesterday in the superior court in
the case OF \. r. Philipek and Jos.
Ondrey vs.. Rebecca Marguerite, adj
ministratrix of the estate OF George
Marguerite, her deceased husband.
The plaintiffs in this case seek to
recover a deed 10 one-half interest
in Mida Lansa. Toma and ten other
gold mining claims in Yavapai coun-
ty, in payment OF $500 alleged to
have been loaned to George Marga-
retic. deceased, while he was living.
for the purpose OF developing the
property, on an agreement that they
were to share in the proceeds OF
the mines.
The claims at issue originally be-
longed to the Unida Gold Mining
Company. which later were sold to
George Marguerite by sheriff's sale,
he having secured a judgment
against the company. The defeH-
dants allege in the amended COM
plant that the claim OF p. w. O'Sul-
liyan to an interest in the property
was obtained subsequent to the max
ing OF the agreement between them
selves and George Marguerite. 1t
is the contention that the admins

plaintiffs a deed to one-half OF the

ing and training of children. This state
interest in the child was once hazy and
Ill defined. Then it became academic. and
with the development of the public school
idea state interest entered on its practical
phase From an effort to teach the child
to read and write the state has proceeded
to teach him so many other things that
it stands ready to provide for children
and youths what Is called an education.
And more and more it seeks to provide
the child with an education which Will
most help 1t to succeed in life, and it not
only strives to give the child head train
ing, but is turning strongly to the thought
Of hand training.
For the benefit of the child the state
not only exercises its interest in him out
side of school hours, supervising his play
and safeguarding his morals, but is look
ing after his health and inquiring into the
conditions under which he lives at home.
1t is a tendency which cannot be stayed
and which promises stronger and better
manhood and womanhood.
The development of public interest in
and the growth OF the child welfare
movement is another manifestation of the
woman movement which has given and
Is giving a wider and higher status to
women in the affairs of life. Behind the
child welfare movement are women s
clubs, parent-teacher associations. home
and school associations and mothers
clubs. The hand of woman is seen and
felt through it ALL In fact. the present
international congress on child welfare
is being held under the auspices of the
executive board of the Congress of Moth
ers.

been made that the Washington citi-

result of the cleanup campaign which
was conducted for one week was salts

before. The city cannot he made sani-

A Previous "Watchful Waiting.'

1t is an error to describe, as some are
doing, the war with Spain as of sudden
heat and passion on our part. One
might suppose that we had a jingo seiz-
ure, and while in fit had begun fight
ing about Cuba.
Not SO. There had been a long period
of 'watchful waiting Mr.. Cleveland
began it. For at least two years before
his term expired Intervention was urged
on him, and by the officials he had sent
to Cuba. Something like anarchy exist
ed in the island. Butchery and starva-
tion prevailed. Property losses had
reached an enormous sum.
But Mr.. Cleveland refused. He did not
want war. and said so. His popularity
had waned, and it might have been re-
vived by an appeal to arms. But he re-
sisted the temptation, and passed the
Cuban question on to his successor.
Mr.. Mckinley moved slowly. He like
wise adopted the policy of ''watchful
waiting" He watched and waited for
eleven months-almost as long as Mr
Wilson has in the case of Mexico.
Then came the tragedy of the Maine,
which forced his hand. He could not
have continued his policy after that, al
though he did not strike for two months.
But everybody knew that he was get
ting ready to strike.
But both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Nc
Kinley took a great risk by their delay.
Cuban conditions became a European as
well as an American topic. and the worse
they became the livelier the discussion.
The great powers, with the exception of
Great Britain, sympathized with Spain,
and there was a suggestion, made in pri-
vate, that a formal protest against our
course when Intervention loomed up be
! made. But it was not made.
| 1t is useless to speculate about what
would have happened il the Maine had
not been destroyed. There are beliefs
and beliefs. One belief is that matters
would have continued to drift for long
time. Another belief is that in a short
time Spain would have thrown up he,
task ana retired from the island upon
an energetic protest from this govern
ment. A third belief is that Europe was
doctrine, not SO much in Spain.s as in
her own interests.
| But the Maine was destroyed, and the
tragedy was such as to justify the action
decided upon by the United States. No,
only had the American nag and the
American uniform been insulted, bu,
American lives taken. That changed the
whole aspect of the question, and slenceo

the timber has not all been cut. though
1t is fast vanishing before the sawmills
that are in operation there. The adv0-
Gates of forest conservation In New
England believe that forest reserve
in the Berkshires can be developed
which would be as great and as attract
i've to home people as the Black Forest
of Germany. The other tract OF country
which Massachusetts, would develop
into a forest reserve is that on Cape
Cod. It is recorded that this region,
now mostly barren, was at the coming
of Europeans densely timbered with
magnificent white pine. The adaptable
ity of the soil of Cape Cod for white
pine culture is admitted. and 1t Is be-
lieved that while Cape Cod is now one
of the national summer Fairgrounds,
reforestation would vastly increase its
popularity with the large and increas-
ing population which spends part OF
the summer away from home.
This discussion is apt to bring to
mind a proposition which was given
considerable space in the newspapers
a number of months ago looking to the
government acquisition of large area
of unfertile land as national park be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, be-
tween the valleys and including part of
them of the Eastern branch and the
Patuxent The proposal had merit,
seemed not to stir up any opposition,
and perhaps needs only push and per
severance for its consummation. The
plan was outlined by William NJ. Eli
colt of Baltimore in 1911 in The Even
ing Star and in American Forestry. At
a meeting of the American Civic Asso-
citation in Baltimore in 1912 Ambassa
dor Bryce delivered an address on Ma
tional Parks the Need of the Future.
In this address he dwelt on the ad-
vantages of establishing a national
forest in the neiShborhood of Washing
ton. Included in this national park
plan was the acquisition Of the lands
bordering the Potomac river from
Washington to Great Falls. Lands on
the north side of the river which have
been denuded would be retimbered,
and the majestic timberlands on the
south side of the river would be pre-
served.
The land on the south side of the
Potomac between the river and
the Leesburg pike, extending up
Pimmitt run, Scott run and Diff
fcult run, is one of the won
der countries of the world. Its
high hills, bluffs. wales, ravines and
gorges, for the most part thick grown
with stately hardwoods, have long
been known and understood by that
element of Washington's people who
tramp and camp away from the dis
fractions Of the city. 1t would be an
excellent thing if this were to be taken
over by the government and main
tanned for the benefit of the people as
a national park. At the twentieth an
nual meeting of the Columbian Histori-
cal Society a paper was read and ap
proved without stint in which was
urged the desirability Of the acquisi
ton by the government Of Great Falls
and adjacent environment for a national
park. The Great Falls neighborhood has
always been to Washington and adja-
cent country a quasi public park and a
countless number of tourists have yield
I'd to its wild charm. It is a territory
which should be kept for the people for
all time.
