IMPROVE THE TOWN

Every city vies with the other to prove most attractive to desir- able home seekers. This class of residents is progressive or wealthy or both. The growth and influence of all towns or cities depends upon their success in adding such people to their population. Do you think bare. unsightly, implanted streets will attract them? Certainly not. We are essentially a mecca for tourists. The burning question is, where will they leave the most money? It is said that the tourists annually leave in Italy a sum of money greater than the interest upon the national debt. The great mass of visitors to Paris each year go there because it leads the world in civic art and
 
 beauty. Holbrook offers many attractions to the tourists. it has an ideal climate not excessively hot in the summer norextremely cold in the winter. The climate nearly approaches the ideal. The town is growing, not with hur- ricane boom, but a good. steady. healthy growth. But at that, it will be admitted by all that cer- tain conditions exist that are not to the credit of our American boasted progressiveness, and it is up to to our citizens to do something to improve the sani- tary conditions and sidewalks if they expect to keep up the value of their property and safeguard their health and that of their children. This is an important matter and should receive the best consideration of all who are permanently located in our pret- ty little village.

The most gigantic war in the history of the world is now in progress on the continent of Flu rope. Following the declaration of war on Servia by Austria, came the ultimatum of Germany to Russia that she cease the mo bilization of her armies. and with her refusal came the declar- ation of war. Germany asked and was refused permission to cross Belgium, and England came to the rescue of her ally, Bel gium, with a declaration of war against Germany. France has been drawn into the struggle, and it seems certain that Italy will be forced to take up arms with Germany, Austria and their allies. At the present time prac- tically all nations are now up in arms and ready for the conflict, though some of the smaller coun- tries will endeavor to remain neutral. Russia, France and Eng land are now arrayed against Germany, Austria, probably
 
 Italy, Servia and the Balkan States. The end no one can fore see, but there IS a practical cer- tainty that at the end of the struggle the political map of Flu rope will have been changed.

National Debt Greater
 Burden to Taxpayers

The debt of the national gov ernment is a greater financial weight upon the people ot each state, except Arizona and Massa- chusetts, than the obligations of the states in which they live, ac- cording to the statistics issued by the census bureau.
 The figures showed that on June 30, 1913, the per capita debt for the forty-eight states amounted to $3.57, while that of the national government was $1O.59. The total debt of the state governments on that date Was $422, 796, 525. And offset ting it was $76, 98O, 571 in sinking fund assets.
 The national government had a total debt at the end of June last year amounting to S2, 916.- 204, 914. However, less cash in the United States treasury avail able for the payment of debt that would be reduced to $1, OPS : 564O55.
 The report showed shat only in Arizona and Massachusetts does the state debt. less sinking fund assets, amount to more per capita than that of the national government. In Oregon the per capita state debt is 4 cents; Kan sas IA cents, while in Pennsyl- vanla it is nothing, because the sinking fund assets exceed the total debt. New York has a per capita debt of $9.05, due largely to the cost of the Erie canal.

Chairman HubbeII Takes
 A Shot at the Bull Moose

The list published in the last issue of the Republican state ticket has been slightly changed. according to the following letter from Chairman J. L. Hubbell, part of which we publish as a matter of news:
 At a conference of Republicans held at Phoenix on August 3rd, every county organization in Ari- zona being represented. the fol lowing names were suggested as Republican candidates for the respective offices at the coming primary and state election:
 Senate. J. L. Hubbell, Apache county.
 Representative in Congress, Henry L. Eads, Maricopa county.
 Governor, Ralph Cameron. Maricopa.
 Secretary of State, c. G. Cole. Greenlee county.
 Auditor, Chas. K. Pishon, Mar icopa county.
 Attorney-General Joseph B. Morrison, Maricopa.
 Treasurer. c. K. ZimmerIy. Pima.
 Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Rose Krebs, Maricopa.
 Mine Inspector. Parker Wood man, Maricopa.
 Corporation Commission. M. E, Cassidy, Cochise; Robert Mitch ell. Santa Cruz; J. c. Reed. Mar icopa; H. V. Clymer. Yuma.
 Tax Commission, T. E. Camp bell, Yavapai; R. E. Merritt, Gila; Roy N. Davidson. Mari copa.
 Judges of the Supreme Court, Thomas Armstrong. Maricopa: L. L. Henry, Gila; Edw. G. Flan- igan, Cochise.
 Nomlnation petitions will be filed by practically every one suggested in the above list with the Secretary of State and nomination papers are now being circulated in the various counties to secure the number of sigma lures of electors required by law. This work will be accomplished within the next week, and a full Republican ticket will thus be placed in the field.
 MT. HubbelI further says: Both MT. Joseph B. Morrison and myself, upon our return from a recent trip, which in cluded almost every county in Arizona. are of the firm and sin cere belief that a majority, if not all, of the people running on the Republican state ticket will be successful in the November election. I am also convinced, as is MT. Morrison, after a care ful examination of the subject, that the vast majority of Pro- gressive voters have long since actually re-aligned themselves with the Republican party. and that the so far practically unsuc- cessful effort of the few Pro gsessive leaders in Phoenix to place a state ticket in the field will attract but little support from the great mass of the Pro gressive voters. as it is actually in opposition to their wishes and an apparent attempt to whip them into line whether they de- sire it or not. after the manner of bosses, of which the Progress slve leaders complain so much.

The Morale on Railroads.

Some time ago the Economist Of Chicago sug-
gested the formation of some kind OF organEa-
tion Of railway men to encourage high morale

OF the offenses against law and good morals that
committed in connection with the management
Of railways committed in their financing, and
that in most those who commit them
who have made their money bankers manufac-
turers or mine operators and have broken into rail-
way boards of directors for the apparent purpose
Of exploiting the roads. In almost every the

are directed by men who have up in the rail-
way service are not only efficiently. but also hon

I'm such an organization we suppose that

False Views

That educated" Indian who. addressing a
federation of his people, deplored the failure of
civilization and preferred the primitive life of
his race because he saw "crime running ram
pant" and "the struggle of capital and labor
going on together with other social and indus
trial inequalities and expressions. is not SO well
educated as he might be or he would know bet
ter than to Judge civilization or anything else
on the basis of its faults instead of its virtues
Superficial thinkers doubtless applauded the
Indians utterance and said he was right. OF
course, he was woefully wrong. But the trou-
BILE is that many more besides Indians are
disposed to take such short-sighte and false
views Of the situation. Is man, made In the
image OF God" so weak and frail a creature
that he cannot endure the struggle of righting
wrong, Of equalizing oppressions Of bringing
order out OF chaos? Civilization is nothing but
the growth and development OF the race. II
has had Its struggles from the beginning and
will have them to the end. The history of the
aborigine is OF them. The status OF the
American Indian in this twentieth century of
light and reason, OF tolerance and justice Of
genius and progress, OF equal rights to all and
special privileges to none," is one OF the ad-
vanced milestones In the course OF this develop
ment. This very pessimistic Indian in this very
pessmistic speech stands as a tribute both to
the beneficence and wisdom, as we'll as the tri-
umph OF civilization The very fact that the
red man, the brown man. the black. yellow or
white man can stand on any dry goods box in
this land and denounce this civilization to the
clamorous delight OF an unthinking rabble is
final and irrefutable proof OF the irresistible
power of the very thing against which he In
weighs.
Crime is not rampant among those who are
graduated into the higher classes of civilization
and struggles between capital and labor are not
without their fruits OF larger mutual rights and
relations, higher sense OF justice. Happily
for the strengthening Of the race. civilization
can look about and find plenty to keep It profita-
bly, employed for an indefinitely long time to
come.

The summary dismissal by the School board
Of a member OF the High school teaching staff,
without even charges, and much less a hearing,
after more than fifteen years service and sue
cessive promotions promises to disclose whether
the so-called permanent list affords any perma-
nency or protection to teachers. II goes with
out saying that II the board can dismiss a per-
manent list teacher in this fashion, every teacher
In the schools is exposed to the same treatment,
and the permanent list is a farce. No one will
contend that the school teacher is, or should be,
immune from dismissal for cause, but he. or
she, should have right to know what. II any,
charges are made and opportunity to refute
them. Our School board just now is not in
such high public esteem that It can afford TO
violate its own rules and repudiate it's own obli-
cations just to wreak petty vengeance OF indi-
vidual members.

AS each morn's dewy portals ope
To usher In the newborn day
Hope enlightens all the way.
What is life? Oh! Life is love,
Flooding the earth from heaven above;
Binding with an endless tie
This life to eternity.
What Is life?, Oh! Life is trust

What is life? 'Tis years of Joy;
Golden hours without alloy.
Ours to have and ours to hold,
Precious moments filled with gold.
