AFTER THE ELECTIONS.

The Phoenix Gazette well says: ''Now that
the elections are of the way every good citizen
should forget the bitterness of party conflict and
settle down to strong pull for Arizona and the.
best interests of the state
Right, wrong or Indifferent, the sovereign
people have declared their will and, for at least two
years more the destinies of the entrusted
to the hands that have managed them for two
years past. In these circumstances there is oc-
casion to carry any personal or party bitter
ness of feud. Every party and woman, be-
yorld question of doubt acted in accordance with
his or her honest conviction in casting the, vote
and it is fundamental of democratic government
that the majority must rule.
Incidentally it is to be remembered that the
United States has risen to its present commanding
position among the nations by this very principle
1t therefore becomes the part of every good citi-
zen to do all in his power to aid and support the
efforts of the whom the great body of the
people have chosen to direct their affairs.
Party strife is but the gale that clears the at
mosphere and when once it is passed, it leaves us
all true sons and daughters of Arizona and of the
United States
The war in Europe has produced some con
dltions in America and throughout the rest of the
world that are inconvenient and troublesome, but
this is faut of any party or any set OF citizens
any more than tornado or an earthquake could
be reasonably charged against government
If everyone will make the best of bad situa-
ton and bend every energy to the support and adj
vancment of the state neither Arizona nor any
other section has much to fear. There may be
some temporary stringency, but the cannot
last much longer and when, in the providence Of
God, it is over, there is every indication that Am
erica will prosper nation has ever prospered
in the history of the world.
Let us face the temporary inconvenience with
bold heart and look past them to the inevitable
rosy future

No one should blame those who
have their money invested in the
liquor business in this state for desir-
ing to have the time for applying the
prohibition amendment put off as far
as possible to give them opportunity
to close out their business. We hope
that all of them will be able to find
other profitable yocations to which
they may devote their future energies
in this state. Arizona has many ex-
cellent citizens engaged in the liquor
business in one way or another and
they are entitled to fair treatment If
there be way to delay enforcement
Of the probationary for a lew months
Arizona voters have voted that the
state shall be dry, dry it will become,
but whether it becomes so in January
or June will probably be matter of
no consideration on the part of the
most ardent supporter of prohibition.

THE WET AND DRY LINEUP.

AS a result of the November elections there
are now fourteen states in the dry column They
are Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Name,
Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ok
lahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, Washing
ton and West Virginia
There remain I states in which half the
population live in so-called no-hcense territory.
They are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Texas and Vermont.
There remain eleven states in which Is per
cent of the population lives in nocense territory.
They arc California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland.
Massachusetts. Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Utah,
Missouri and Wyoming. AT different times in
the past 20 states have adopted the policy OF pro-
hibition. All but nine for one reason Or another,
abandoned it for local option control by license
California and Ohio, out of the six states in
which statewide prohibition amendments were
voted ON this fall, elected to remain in the wet
column In Ohio the amendment to the
constitution practically places the state in the wet
column forever, provides that no liquor legls-
lation shall be introduced into the legislature The
present laws, however, very strict and are car
ried out to the letter. The amendment does
not prohibit the holding of wet and dry elections in
communities under the laws that present in
force
The states that have voted dry during the
year 1914 are Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Wash
ington and Virginia.

EDITORIAL OPINION

John X Kendrick, who has just
been elected Governor of the state
of Wyoming as a Democrat, trailed a
herd of cattle from Texas few years
ago as a penniless orphan boy. He
is a native of Texas and his first
work in Wyoming was in the capacity
of cowpuncher By honesty and close
application to business he has be-
come very wealthy and rounds out his
career as governor of his adopted
state. You can't keep these Texans
down. They are continually coming
to the front in every community in
which they make their residence.

HORSE AND HORSE.

The elections in the East have
shown Republican gains in many
states, and the Democratic majority
in the House of Representatives has
been reduced, but that body is safely
Democratic. The Senate remains
Democratic by about the same ma
jority as it is now.
There are those who read in the
reduced Democratic majority in the
House a premonition of restoration
to power of the Republican Party in
1916. But such premonitions are
not reliable They have not worked
out that way always. When Grant
was President the Republican Party
lost the House in the off election Gas
it is called in his second term, and
recovered it in the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876, and Hayes was elected.
lost both the House and Senate in
1873, but recovered both in 1880, elect
ing Garfield to the Presidency. Ar
thur (Garf1eld's Vice-President in
succession) lost the House, and the
Republican Party lost both House and
Senate with the Presidency in 1884,
Cleveland being elected. In his turn
President Cleveland lost the House
in 1886 and went out himself in 1888.
His successor, Harrison, lost the
House in 1890 and made way for
Cleveland again in 1892.
So there is no binding rule to be
gathered from the presidents. In
fact it is case of horse and horse. 4"
In the election this year the Demo
Gratis have not lost the House although
their majority is reduced. That does
not presage Democratic defeat in
1916. AS fact President Wilson is
growing stronger with the people
daily, and he will continue to grow.
In 1916 he will be the nominee of his
party again, and his administration
will receive triumphant vindication
at the polls.-Nogales Oasis.

THE WOMEN AT THE POLLS.

If any man has been in doubt as
to the advisability of woman suffrage
the last lingering one would have been
removed by the earnestness and in
telligence displayed by the women
voters at the late election. We think
that the average man did not make
so great an effort, and with so much
success, to overcome the mysteries of
the ballot. The women, in meetings
and in their homes, made more of a
study of the propositions submitted to
the voters than the men did, and we
believe that now the average Arizona
woman understands better what she
voted for or voted against than the
average man.-Phoenix Republican.

AN AVALANCHE OF LAWS.

A count made in the Library OF Congress
shows that the national and state legislatures pass
ed in the five years, IoIo-I3, some o2,ol4 laws
and that in the same period there were $3.50 de-
cisions by the state and national courts OF last
resort reported in go volumes. How much of
The congestion in the courts and delay IN the adj
r,inistration of law SO much complained OF is due
TO this craze for the hasty making OF new laws and
the interninabe litigation that arises out OF then
Although it is probable that lawyers make
I'D majority of every legislature the bulk OF the
new legislation added to the statute books eacn
year is framed and fathered by members who
have little or no knowledge Of existing law or e7S-
perience in drafting legislation. AS result there
is the duplication, the contradiction and the enlas-
culaton of existing statutes, the careless or unln-
tellgble phrasing that defeats the purpose OF the
trainers and clogs the courts.
Some states like Pennsylvania, have estab-
lished reference library at the capitol for the
better guidance of legislators Now and then
an attempt is made at codihcaton and slnpllf1ca-
ton of existing laws. But the stream OF new laws
flows on and over everything. The total OF more
than 10000 added in five years IS astounding 1t
is surely time that the impulse to rush new law
upon the statute books as a remedy for each and
eyery problem was checked or at least modified
sufficiently to assure that the additional legislation
is actually needed and will accomplish what IS aim
ed at The suggestion made at the recent bar
association meeting in Washington that there
should be drafting bureau of expert counsel at
each capitol 20 see that were written IN
telipibly, that they were drawn with reference to
existing legislation and the DECISIONS of the courts
If BY that means the present confusion and crowd
ing of legislation can be avoided it will be worth
what it costs.

NO TIME FoR PEACE.
Why the Carnegie Peace Foundation
is Silent.

Boston-It is worthy of remark that
the two most outspoken belligerents
in the United States today are trus-
tees in the Carnegie Peace Founda-
ton.
Robert Bacon, ex-minister to France,
calls upon the United States to de-
mand of Germany as to whether she
is violating the Hague treaty signed
by both Germany and the. United
States concerning the neutrality and
position of acknowledgement countries,
by her invasion of the neutral terri
tory of Belgium, in order that she
might strike at France.
This of course means that if Ger
many answered: Hague treaties are
like treaties concerning Belgium,
scraps of paper, when they stand in
the way of Germans war culture, y
what might the United States have
to say about it? Should she dismiss
Count Won Bernstorff as the represen-
tative of power with whom it is not
worth while to make any agreements
or should she join England in her
fight to make international treaties
worth something in the preservation
of international peace?
Charles W. Elliott, still by voice,
pen, vigorous thought and dominating
personality the head of Harvard Uni-
versity, is firm in the faith that the
position of the United States today
belongs right in the English channel,
or on the soil of Belgium, fighting to
push the Germans out of Belgium and
make the world respect not only treat
les but the existence of the smaller
nations.
We asked a Carnegie trustee why
there was no voice from the Carnegie
Dna DO IN hn inf ~
peace. He replied as follows:
1.-The Carnegie Peace Foundation
trustees have taken no action con-
corning the present war because un-
derstand there is division in the
board. However, we shall discuss
this matter on the 10Th of this month.
My own position is that the pres
ent is no time for condemnation OF
war. Germany has broken forth
with her tremendous machine and
her ambition for a world conquest.
America does not believe in the
world dominion of any nation. The
duty of the whole world today is to
surround Germany and arrest her
military machine.
Therefore, at the present time
there can be no useful discussion OF
peace. Every hand must be extend
ed to England, France, Russia and
Belgium. II these countries are
unable to check Germany, it is our
solemn duty to come to their as
sistance.
81 don't believe war is any neces-
sary development of any action or in
dvidual. But when some nation starts
out on a, world conquest, it is no
time to discuss peace. Every man
in the world has got to be on the FIR
ing line. Every man has got to be
a soldier in one form or another, and
how then can there be any talk OF
peace, the blessings of peace and the
uselessness of war? The world can
defend itself against Germany only
by war"

that large Republican gains were re-
