A Meaningless Phrase
l. and F.

We hear much about international law Volumes have been written that subject We have con structions and precedens, but it that IS no such thing international law, and that there has never been such thing.
 Bench and Bar in late number dealt with this subject in which it quotes Alexander Hamilton. who said It is essential the idea of law that it be attended with a sanction: in other words a pen alty or punishment for disobedience"
 Bench and Bar adds: According to Hamton's conception there is today no law of nations the sit uaton in this respect being precisely as it was cen turies when primitive man subsisted on the wild products of the earth, innocent of art indus try or religion The nations, Bench and Bar con- unues are still Iawless as their ancient protc- types so far may be concerned the recognition of any authority the authority of force"
 The present war has shot holes in the fiction which called international as well as in the solemn agreements between nations which were be- HeVed to be civilized.

Newspaper Statements

In compliance with feueral law. The RepIb- Hcan this morning prints it's semi-annu;,l statement of all facts that may be of value to it's readers and its advertisers It is of value the readers of q newspaper to know who it's real owners are and who it's creditors for their views are certain to le reflected in it's columns. The news of a kept paper is apt to be colored in the interest owners and creditors and coofed news is worthless news. The semi i-annual statements, if true are of value to advertisers. for 1t informs them of the character of a newspaper medium of publicity
 But the law requiring these semi annual state ments is incomplete. Though it provides d penalty for printing false statements, it affords no means , Of ascertainng whether they may be false There inS the expenses of investigation. The government Goes not know whether of the many thousands true one, and attempt has been made to find out
 Unless the government shall decide to carry out the full purpose of the law the avowed purpose of ito protect readers and other patrons by ap- prising them of the influences behind the papers-i. had better repeal the law. for it stands re- liable information is furnished only by the honest newspapers and the public need be put on it's guard against them

Politicians are depended upon to find the way. But. with q city manager over whom politicians could have no influence, there could be way. It ncces- sary to break down the power of the city manager and remove him from in front of the treasury.
 It was to the interest of all these elements-tle commission the politicians the who wanted to get at the teasury-that the city manager should be deprived of his powers and independence; not only that he should be stripped of his patronage; that should be transferred to the commission where the politicians could have access to and that the managership itself the richest prize a should be added to the loot
 Here is what is back of the movement to amend the charter with respect to the city managcrship- purpose to remove the obstacle which lies in the way of the political workers and the who Ae' at the city treasury. We hope that Tues day morning the citizens of Phoenix will fully un- derstand what they are voting for that they will understand that every man who is known to be a spells politician and that every who is known to be, or suspected of being grafter, is working take the power of the city manager away from hlm and leave it with the commission

Some. at least opponents of the system, once the char ter was completed, enrolled themselves among it's most earnest supporters. and they have since been among those who that the charter should be given fair trial.

COPPER

Copper is one of the most tal ented and exclusive metals Man could get along very comfortable without gold. especially since ash ier's checks have been invented, bTl if there was no copper on earth, he would have to retire with great haste from the present and get along with out electricity and many other mod ern improvements.
 Copper is a strawberry blonde me tai which is distinguished by it's softness, mallcability and dupicity. It can be beaten into great thinuess with a hammer. bent into as many | positions as a successful politician and drawn out into wire with greet { l ease. It can also he combined with zinc and make brass, and can be gathered up by an electric current and deposited with other metals ! Ii is cold and naughty in the pres

 For all these talents, copper is

 per is most useful because of it's
 influence over electricity. Electricity
 is as hard to control as d South Carolina governor but q copper wire
 can lead ten thousand volts of home

 many other indispensable convcn- 1 fences.
 1 Copper is also exceedingly rscful in the modern brand of war. It is
 almost impossible to kill a man in
 an upto-date and scientific manner without using copper. All molern
 cartridges have copper in them. and
 the nation which goes to war witt
 out q good stock of this metal is worse off than it would he without "a board of strategy.
 i This is one reason why the United | States may yet get mixed up in the
 present war. This country produces ten times as much copper as any other nation. The whole world on,y produces about S50000 tons a year land the United States contributes l 5oo.0o0 tons of that.
