"ARIZoNA"

ARIZONA"
 Greater compliment in the way of nationwide recog- milton has seldom been assigned to Arizona than that contained in the naming the new dreadnought For that yesterday eventfu in the history of the State While the occasion would seem to lend itself 10 aonsralaton rather than preachment the thought n- eyiaby arises that deeper sentiment than mere gati- fcaaon be aroused throughout our Commonwealth. As she takes her place the whose names embazoned the of navy directories of the world, Arizona feel sense of increased responsi- biity the superdreadnaught sails the Seven Seas, her name win be carried to the furtherest quarters of the globe Tens of thousands whose admiration will quicken sight of the batteshp will never see that state bearing the same name
 Thus the State of Arizona will be introduced by name the hnterland" under favorable auspices The name wiu mean something essentially vital It will suggest bigbess And potentay and indemitable forcefuness. It will give rise to aatterng conceptions of us The bounden duty of uphodng these conceptions imposed upon
 Acceptance of this naturally causes pause for retrospecton Prior to yesterdays launching honors A4zonas was most prominently heralded through out the land subject for dersion or jest Too little consideration allowed perhaps for the fact that our
 
 nightmares must be passed before an era sanity that only through of time and the awaken ing of higher intelligence could false leaders of too trustfu albeit too untutored aocks be elminatedd
 Thousands of newspapers will convey to millions of readers to-day an of the superdreadnaughrs launching Inevitably, the name Arizona" will be brousht back these millions readers through tion with incidents with which was last connected These incidents were pleasant our men and wcrl en less than real men and women if they the courage to shoulder as much responsibility as is truly theirs in making possible through popular selec ton the State officials whose paternity the regretted incidents directly raceable Either officials or State leaders possessing following mockery Of laws relating capital punishment, suggested stat ues offensive reputable business interests real charity with sham overtures by seeking to letter her with a socalled Mothers Pension Act and committed other grievous wrongs
 Every citizen in Arizona eryeny hopes that Governor Hunt who nomnay our acme of Arizona citizenship since we honored him with the highest office our command contributed lustre 10 the fair of the State gave proof of possessing the dignity and grace which the occasion demanded and greeted and ac ccped among the Nations leaders with whom he was thrown into contact as men like themselves honorabl, courtly, intelligent and wise.
 there be any who have misgivngs. they should pre- pare for the future Other occasions will arise, lik, yesterdays when Ariona must be represented by mer for apology need be offered Arizona has beer exalted by the gift of her to a floating embodiment of such force will assist in compelling peace toward our Naton-if peace is possble-or indictng punshmen -if wrongs must be rghted
 Arizona entertains fitting conception of the higl honor conferred uuon her Her ideals will be stimulated by it.
