GIVE THE EDITOR A CHANCE

One of the most difficult of the editors jobs is to get facts about births, marriages and deaths. People seem to think he ought to know these things by intuition. If not that, the birth, marriage or death is of such importance in the immediate family that it is presumed the editor will be informed by some wireless or just grow into the information. Then, when the paper comes out, and no mention is made of the event, the editor IS blamed for not running good news paper or not getting all the news. Remember there are good many people in this county. If the editor knew each of them by name, besides their family history and the chief events in the lives of every individual, he wouldn't be an editor. He'd be a demi-god, resting his feet on cloud and slipping ambrosia instead of ln- habiting a broken-down office chair and wondering where the money for the next white paper bill is coming from. The life of the average news paper man is a gay one. Gathering news is second nature to him, like picking his teeth with the office pen and cussing the office towel. Just the same, there's a limit to his omnl- science. Last week, we thought of a million, eight hundred and forty nine thousand three hundred and sixty four things of importance, besides couple of hundred thousand small items un- worthy of mention. And it was a slow week. We're anxious for news for the paper, and it won't put you out much to drop by the office or tel ephone us what's happening at your house. Then if the item doesn't get in the paper, you have right to come down and kick the stuffiings out ot the cat. Otherwise, don't blame us.- Exchange.

The Panama canal has been spied upon by foreign nations and there IS considerable feeling that traitors to this country have been snooping and adding what trouble they can to Amer ican troubles in hopes that it might benefit their waring country.
 America should stand on her rights and every spy, would be spy, bomb planters and others of such iik should be taken out and politically hung so high that all may see his carcass dang ling in the air. There is no room for this class in America and they should be weeded out without mercy or con- passion. This sentiment may seem harsh to the simple sentimental, but it is the only honest American sentiment that may prevent the loss of thous- ands and hundreds of thousands of lives later on. It requires strong men to be strong in the preservation of rights of men in civil duties as well as in the trenches. There is an end to ones misery when killed on the firing line, but the pains and misery from daily mental wounds that make up many a life are more heroic and there is little sung of his glorious end

Why does not all this prosperity which the Democrats talk about, show some reflection in the transactions of the Federal treasury? The Govern ment is now running behind in its ex- penses nearly a million dollars a day Surely, if the country is so "prospe- rous" because of the mushroom devel- opment of "war orders," that prosper ity ought to show itself for the bene- fit of others than the owners of or spectators in "war stocks"

PEOPLE PAY FOR POLITICS

It is the audicity of campaign pub licity work at the taxpayers expense which amazes. All this Democratic propaganda, furthermore, is sent out under Government frank. For some months the Commerce Reports ,' which are intended to be devoted sol ely to matters concerning our trade, have been carrying pages of matter having nothing to do with commerce, and adulatory of the Administration. In plain words, the public is getting a correspondence course at it's own ex- pense, full of partisan teaching de- signed to create favorable feeling toward the Administration, and this whether the public wants it or not. Mir. Redfeld is running a Democratic campaign publicity bureau on forced subsidization.

Gallup has at last concluded that two newspapers will not pay in town of that size and Editor Hans of the Independent has bought and consolid- ated the two papers, but will attempt to make both come out on different days of the week. While compliment ing Editor Hans on his enterprise, we can see eventually only one good, sub- stantial news-giving weekly as a re- suit of the consolidation.

Are We Got Any Sinful Pride?

Flagstaff has always been proud of the 'Coconino Sun" Since Brer Breen has installed his $3,OOO Intertype typesetting machine, and The Sun has arisen in all the glory of it's new dress, the town is almost sinful in it's self-glory. It may well be. The "Sun" both in appearance and editor tally, would be a credit to city many times the size of Flagstaff.-Yavapai Magazine.

Secretary of State Lansing does not seem to think the hanging of the Mexican murderers at Florence (to day if at alD will kick up any special complications that the United States can not settle and has so informed Governor Hunt. The few dozen Anne ricans killed down in Mexico by fac tions" is a mere incident as compared to the wholesale slaughter of five brutal Mexican murderers. There isn't half as much maudlin sentiment when folks are murdered as there is when some other poor orphans or widows have to suffer because of a brutal murderer.

Phoenix Knocking BOrderland Route
 Phoenix is diverting all the traffic it can from the Borderland Route go- ing west from the capital, and direct ing the tourists to go via Parker. This undoubtedly means that Yuma, who has $500,00000 to spend on roads, will be instrumental in diverting their road so that it will go direct to Tucson thereby cutting out Phoenix, shorten ing the route and giving Yuma what she is entitled to.-Tomstone Pros- pectOr.

 The newspapers, in commenting editorially on the Ford peace mission, express little hope for it's success.
 The 'Verdens Gang" after saying that the expedition will live in his tory, adds:-
 ''The great industrial organizer has undertaken a gigantic task seemingly without definite plan. His peace plan seems without shape and not. worked out. The delegates appear to know nothing about it. The purpose is greatly admired, but it unfortunate ly is vague. Nevertheless, it will fig ure in history"
 The first detailed announcement of the plan for the expedition was made Sunday. Besides the 150 Americans already in the party ten people are to join from each of the following coun- tries: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain, and Switzerland. After Stockholm and Copenhagen have been visited all will assemble at The Hague. There the entire body will choose three delegates from each country. It is stated that William Jennings Bryan will be among the Americans if he accepts the invita-
