Judge Ellis of Kingman, pre-
sided over the Navajo county su-
perior court last week, with a
grace, dignity. and a broad-mind-
ed spirit, and knowledge of the
law that won enconiums from
every member of the bar. 1t is
to be regretted that every coun-
ty could not have a judge of such
caliber presiding over its courts.
But sometimes the voters are
deceived in their man, and find
when too late to correct their mis-
take that instead of getting a big
man for such a place, they have
an insignificant nonentity, who
sWells up over the misplaced hon
or, and resorts to small, mean
practices like the peanut politi-
clan that he is; takes advantage
of his judicial position to reward
his friends and punish his enc
mics. And before such a man
litigants must go to have their
troubles adjudicated. God pity
the attorney or client who has in
Cured the displeasure of such a
judge. Fortunately not many
such men ever succeed in being
elected to judicial positions, and
their tenure is brief. The recall
was instituted for the purpose
Of stripping the ermine from the
shoulders of him who trails it in
the mire of personal profit and
the filth Of petty politics, and it
ought to be invoked promptly in
every case.

Statistics just compiled by the
authorities brings to light that of
the total number of people killed
on the railroads during the past
year, fifty-three per cent, or
more than one-half were tres
passers on railroad property when
they met their death. This is
not surprising when in most any
town, even our own city of Win
slow, there is not an hour in the
day but what there are trespass-
ers on railroad property, perfect
ly oblivious of their danger. It
would not be so bad if trespass-
ers were all adults, but greater
number are children, and it ap-
pears to be impossible for the
railroads to impress on parents
the danger confronting them, as
no effort seems to be made to
restrict the children.

There is one advantage in be-
ing a republican in Winslow at
this time when our democratic
friends are all disrupted oyer the
appointment of a postmaster to
fill Miss Mahoney's place when
her time expires in February.
The Mail editor personally likes
all the candidates, and regrets
the bitterness of the strife be-
tween them, but taking the mar
row view of practical politics, it
looks good to us, for whichever
one Of the aspirants wins the fa-
vor of Congressman Hayden he
is sure to hear the echo next fall
at election time. A vindictive
fight avails nothing, and the
boys should get together in har-
mony, which at this time seems
afar off.

A Phoenix dispatch to the dali,

A Phoenix dispatch to the daily
papers says the Corporation
Commission expects to soon take
up the question of a three cent
fare for Arizona, and quotes a
member of the commission as
saying that he knew of no
reason why the Scent rate should
not be established. The Mail can
see no reason why the commits
sion cannot tell the railroads to
tear up their tracks and get out
of the state if it feels so dispos-
ed, but the question naturally
arises if the railroads are getting
a square deal. 1t is a reasonable
estimate that seventy-five per
cent of the passenger traffic in
the state is through business or
interstate, and the other twenty
five per cent is little short local
hauls that hardly proouces re-
venue enough to pay the ex-
pense of stopping and starting a
train at the local stops. even at
the present rate. The through
business or interstate represents
the non-residents OF Arizona,
and just why the Corporation
Commission should even contem-
plate interfering with the present
established rate, when seventy
fine per cent of the benefits will
apply to people who contribute
not one cent to the state revenues
is hard to understand. 1t would
be better for the state of Ariz-
o1a and it's people if the COM
mission would give some assur-
ance to the railroads that they
would be protected in their
investments, and encourage the
companies to extend their
mileage in keeping with the de-
velopement of the state. We
need more railroad mileage, but
we will never get it by handicap
ing the companies with contin-
ual threatening to disturb their
revenues, or drastic legislation
interfering with their operation.

With the approach of the holi-
days, when everybody is feeling
kindly towards his neighbor, the
candidates for the several state
offices are beginning to show
their heads, and take the public
pulse. The candidates are liable
to mistake the Christmas cheer
that greets them as an endorse

would advise them to look the
field over again when the senti-

An aged couple, Mr.. and Mrs.
Slayton, were run down and kill
ed on the streets of Phoenix, by
"a high power automobile driven
by a man named Sine. The Ca
zette says Mr.. Sine is as deeply
distress ID over the fatal accident
as the children who,lost their pa
rents, but the Mail has no doubt
but what Mr.. Sine is even now
driving the same death car at
high speed over the Phoenix
streets, and the only reason he
has not killed anybody else is
because they have been success
full in lodging his machine. 1t
is about time stringent measures
were adopted to curb automobil-
lists. There is no concealing the
fact that an automobile owner is
usually a good citizen and fairly
prosperous, and he feels this
gives him license to violate with
impunity all rules of the road,
and the speed laws; for what Of
ficer or individual would be so
presumptious as to file COM
plant against such an one. A
leading citizen arrested! Never.
And some day he kills his vic
tim. Of course he is sorry, and
the coroner's jury of his neigh
bors and friends exonerate him
of liability. That is because he
is a good citizen otherwise, ex-
cept in driving an automobile.
There is no excuse or reason for
permitting any one to drive car
at a greater speed than twelve
miles an hour within the corpor-
ate limits of any city, and if they
want to ride faster, let them
take to the open highways where
there are no foot passengers to

work is done. 1t destroyed every Ger

little doubt that the British fleet will
annihilate the enemy when they meet,
but the admiralty thinks that this
meeting will take place only when
the Germans are ready to fight in
open sea. Until then the British feet
will remain safe in port. 1t will not
risk unremunerative loss by permit
ting isolated divisions to cruise in the
North sea, a fair and sure target for
the active German submarines.
Consequently the British fleet lies
at anchor just as far from the Ger
