carpets you only sweep the nap out and raise the
dust in the house. If your rugs wear out quicker
than YOU expected them to that's your own fault
and not the make of it. 1t is the sweeping and
beating of rug that wears it out.

It peared to the majority that whatever issues vital and general proper subjects.
 In the of the campaign the candidates will define their positions with respect to other pending issues of a local and limited character and they will do with the same courage with which the party council has approached these broader issues.
 In directing attention to the of the state and the national administration, the platform voices the complaints and of all parties IL is done fairly and without purpose of making political capital. It is offered guaranty that under progressive domination in the state and the nation such would not be committed.
 The platform is a straightforward and courageous in raillery. It breathes of optimism and pes simism.
 It is such platform must appeal to the voters of all parties who bound to the party machine by self f-interest O tradition. It voices the aspirations of the average man and WOman-Of all who desire equal opportunity for all On this declaration the progressive party goes before the people confident of the fairness and soundness of their judgment

The Republican Anathema

The republican platform is anathema an attack upon the democratic policies of the state and nation the former it could well go amiss for there is little nothing that may be said in defense of it. Every republican indictment will lie against it.
 The indictment is weakened somewhat by the sweeping and indiscrmlnate character of the attack upon the national administration, which of any party say is wholly bad. It's most serious has been in it's tariff legislation. the evil effect of which has been absorbed by circumstances which the administration could not foretel, for which it not responsible, and which nave produced the bad effects that the tariff legislation would have produced and, in fact, producing
 But it does not become our republican friends to criticize democratic tariff methods, which differ of fixing rates and whose results equally bad, so far concerns the great oe the people.
 The administrations foreign policy has not re- ceived the endorsement of the great body of the American people That the misfortunes which it was predicted would follow it have to pass recognize have been averted rather by accident than foresight.
 We are pleased note the platforms condemna- ton of the proposed cowardly Colombian treaty, some embarrassment in the recollection that during the Taft administration such treaty proposed with the end in view, at the cost of the American peoples self-respect and money. dim the luser of the glorious American achieve ment by the greatest American of his times-Theo- dore Roosevelt.

 Fortunately or otherwise for The Republican, Charles A. Stauffer bus mess manager of this paper, is also a Royal Arch Mason. Perhaps he doesn't attend meetings of the Ma sons as regularly as he should and perhaps that is what caused the pre- sumption upon the part of the High Priest Hart and other members of the local chapter that Stauffer had something to do with the grave mis- take Anyhow it was easy to blame it all on him. That's why an ans wering telegram went back to Pres colt to Barnhart, Hawkins, ct al, throwing the burden on Stauffer and denying that any distress was mani fest in Arizona Chapter No. 1. ex- cept such distress as must attend the thought that a bunch of such good fellows as the Prescott mem bers must be eXiled so far from No. 1.

Older and women tell us of the fearful when husbands, sons, brothers sweethearts, volunteers conscripts. left for the front To those left behind meant killing, and every one of those partings potentially perma- nent We were unused to war; which part of the national life.
 Many of have thought that similar of parting have recently been enacted in Europe and that the people of those countries engaged in are bowed down with grief But told by wel-informed Germans that that is not the in their country and probably the in either France Russia. But in Great Britain departures the front probably solemn matters, since the British people, as mass, are not more familiar with war scenes than the break of the of the rebellion.
 In Germany is institution and all familiar with all the aspects of it except the actual slaughter which, however is accepted natural incident, just death is natural sequence of disease. Every able bodied is a soldier and his relatives have him leave in time of peace in all the panoply of war. We may think that the Ger mans are stolid in these matters, their apparent apathy is only familiarity.
 Men only parts of a great machine whose operation has been witnessed by every German and woman from childhood. If the should not survive the battles, that would not be wonderful, for battles leave all who take part them survivors, The grief of the Germans their dead in battle is poignant the grief of any other people their dead.

The "Home Rule" Amendment

There is one proposed amendment to the consti- tuton the so-caled and miscaled Home Rule" amendment which should be overwhelmingly de- feated. proposes that elections the prohibition question shall be held oftener than every eight years. That is, if district, which may be only an election precinct, has gone wet" or dry local option election, quarter of generation elapse before the residents of the district may reverse that verdict however much they may to Though the voters may have changed their minds and though indeed, the personnel of the voters in the district" may have entirely changed they could not register their wishes that wet" district should become dry" that dry district should become wet until eight years have rolled around.
 We are not considering this proposed amend ment from either a wet" dry" point of view, for we are asked by the proponents of the amend ment not to do so In ther argument in support of it they say: "The amendment proposed must not in any way be confused with the proposed amendment for statewide prohibition, they being two widely separated subjects. The temperance peo ple however, think they suspicously closely re- lated will accede to the request of the friends of the nome rule' amendment and consider It as separate and apart from the question of prohibition
 We regard the proposed nome rule" amendment as an intended assault the spirit of the Arizona constitution The friends of the copstUton have dwet upon the ease with which it may be amended; they have further dwelt with pardonabe pride upon the freedom and facility of expression on all subjects which the voters of Arizona enjoy nder it. If the members of the legislature neglect tc pass such laws the people desire. the people themselves have an opportunity to pass them The constitution permits the people to be heard on any subiect that concerns them. But the amendment proposes to stop the mouths of the people for a period of eight years and prevent their expression on a subject which is always of deep concern
 While the constitution was in course Of prepara- tion a weak attempt made to insert clause making that instrument amendable only once III ten years That of course, was contrary to the spirit of popular government which animated the convention it contemptuously rejected on the contrary, the constitution made to provide fer it's easy amendment either by the people or py the legislature and the people the amendment to be voted on either succeeding general election or at an earlier special election.
 The proposed nome rule amendment if adopted, would not alter the mode of amending, so that we would witness within two years effort to repeal that amendment and would be subjected at least every years more frequently until the amendment had been repealed, to the expense and the social and commercial disturbance which the advocates of the home rule amendment tell us it is intended make less frequent In fact

From the angle of an outsider the shrine headquarters at 206 National Bank of Arizona looks just now like the head chiefs office in some big feed emporium.

In Letter to Republican, Project Manager c. H. Fitch Explains Deferred Payment Plan of .Recla- nation Service.

Under date of the Sth inst. the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association pass ed a resolution which was submitted to the reclamation service, asking that in view of the financial strln- gencies under the Salt River project and the inability of many of the water users to purchase and pay Tn full for water service for their lands at the beginning of the irrigation season, the terms of payment of the minimum price be made so that one haK could be made at the time of application and the remaining one- half on or before February 1, 1915.
 This matter was presented to the reclamation service commission by the project office, and approval has been obtained An additional clause will be inserted in the contract ol those who avail themselves of this privilege. and this clause is as fol- lows:
 Article 8. In case the appll-
 cant pays fifty per cent of the
 initial payment required by Ar
 ticIe two hereof, on the date of
 this application, water service will
 not be refused until after Feb
 ruary 1, 1915, but the fifty per
 cent unpaid shall be delinquent
 on the date of this application, and shall be increased as penalty
 for such non payment at the rate
 of one per cent per month and fraction thereof, between the date
 of the application and the date of payment. and water service will
 be discontinued after February 1, 1915, until the said delinquency
 and penalty thereon are pad.
