Il do not maintain that this rule
applies in any way to candidates for

While most politicians admit the
inadequancy Of the present primary
system, and many OF them advocate
improvements tending to a shorter

Value Of Leading Place.
The most significant and the nrsf
result of the last primary noted after
returns had been more or less conn
pletely compiled, was the surprising
connection between the vote and the
leading OF tickets. In so many cases
that it would be almost impossible to

tive OF the strength he apparently
should have predicted on political

that an amazing proportion Of the
electors voted for the hrst man they

indifference or lack Of knowledge of

Percy C.. Church headed the ball

carried the county by good majority,
though by all political dope he
should have drawn a place much
lower in the returns. That Mr.. Church
really was not the popular candidate
is shown by the fact that he was
lowest OF all the candidates when
most OF the returns had been received.

HE CHRISTMAS SHIP

There will be Merry Christmas for Europe. In hundreds of thousands Of homes there will funeral vreaths instead of holly instead of taught CT shrerins little feet instead of well filled stockings
 More than ever before those forlorn homes will need Che spirit Of Christmas cheer They need the that peace earth" not mockery and that good will" has not vanished from among
 How this great safe. comfortable nation better celebrate the approaching holidays than by sharing m Christmas with warstrcken Europe?
 It was inspiration, that idea of Christmas Ship to carry the children of the warning nations gifts con trbuted by their little brothers and sisters of America Scores of newspapers have taken it up and the quick enthusiasm of the public nsures the success of the en- terprlse and gives it the sanction of a united nation even The government itself had not lent such sanction by offering a warshiD to carry the gifts
 It Is great thing to perform this thoughtful and kindly service for the alien boys and girls. But the "Caristmaa Ship" than charity or good will
 That ship may preach the greatest sermon since h, sermon the Mount 1t will be the voice of a nation tc which Peace a religion. I will carry the message O the blessings of peace into every home reached by u friendly benelaction Its be misunde or misspped. Every toy, every little garment ever sweetmeat bt of tinsel will say greyng grown-ups end what Is vastly more important. to imDressonab children
 "Theso gifts come from a nation that is at peace wit an the world They are by other boys and girls wh can afford to send their nation is peac, They come from children who happy because the fathers are at home share Christmas with them is Peace that makes Christmas happy. It is War Una makes it poor and wretched"
 And SO VIC slall help the millions children lear to hate war and love peace.

 During Mir Hanley's incumbency as governor of lndi ana he was confronted with the ordeal of confirming death sentences. Like Governor Hunt he was. and is. opposed to capital punishment Impulse prompted bim to resort to communication and thus affirm his personal convictions in the matter His sense of duty however triumphed his temporary weakness. Accounting the experience to the Phoenix audience he said be stayed Che hand which already held the pen He knew the court and jury complying with the law had found the defendants guilty. He knew the law in it's supren acy had ordained that the guilty must die He knew that not in his province governor to override and jury and the law merely because he differed with them personally. It his duty to conform to the law in it's dictates he signed the death His the act of whose bravery in the face Of narrowing circumstances exceeded immeasurably the mock heroism of Governor Hunt under identical condl uons.
 Mir Hanley will not be blamed for calling public at tenton to this phase Governor Hunts shortcomings.

BUSINESS COURAGE

No man in America is nearer the heart of American business than Judge E. H. Cary the head of the Steel Trust In his commanding position in our most unda. mental industry he is in touch with basic facts of the nations economic life When he speaks business con dtons his words carry weight perhaps than those Of any other man in the country And this Judge Gary says of the present situation:
 What this country needs now more than ever is courage This is not the time for Americans to be quters lt is time for prudence and economy but not for hysercal economy There is danger tha: some of our business In their oyercauton will wreck the mechanism of their own organizations and injure every one else'
 It reminds one of the blunt formula Of the elder Nor gan Don't be bear on America" That great nnan cier would doubtless with Judge Gary that this is not the time for American enterprise to "quL" Even amid the uucharted hazards worldwide war condtors prosperity is sun the safest bet

STATE FAIR GROUNDS
 WILL DELIGHT ALL
Repairs And Decorations Win Be
 Ready For Opening

PHOENIX, Oct 13.-EXtensive re- pairs and decorations which will make the Arizona State Fair grounds look like new this fall, are about com rleted When the gates open on November g the big stands and eX- hibition halls will be repainted and cleaned from the entrance gate to the far turn of the racing oval
 An improvement which will be mo- ticeable will be the lowered inside rail fence of the race track. This fence which was too high to assure the safety of the jockies aboard their fast speeding mounts hugging the in- side. has been lowered SO that it will not be in danger of injuring the lit- tie pilots in the races. It has also been painted and adds much to the ap- pearance of the track
 Directly opposite the big grand stand the base of which has been given a sparkling coat of white. the timers stand has been augmented with a number of dressing rooms for the women acrobats who will be here to entertain this fall
 The barns, exhibit stalls and stocl, sheds on the entire exhibition tract have been treated to a coat Nf fresh paint. even to the roofs which are a bright red, while the sides of the buildings are decorated in green. A new addition 40xSO feet has been added Co the agricultural exhibit building. made necessary by the grow ing demands for space to show a splendid lot of entered state products; the state exhibits portend the lars est display of the kind ever gathered in Arizona
 Among the improvements laid out this year by the commission is one that will meet with the approval of all who have the good of the big faiJ at heart, and that is the lawn which will run from the main gates to the graudstand This lawn which is grow ing nicely will serve a double purpose It will not only add greatly 10 the beauty of the grounds but will aid in laying the dust which heretofore has been a problem.
 ! A space seventy-hve feet long al the south end of the grounds has beer Set aside for parking automobiles Chi. year and meets a much needed de mand It will be fenced off and de voted exclusively to the gas bugeies

 ANzona State Fair stands a goo'
