GOVERNOR HUNT REBukED


The implied rebuke of Governor
Hunt and those who have supported
his efforts to suspend the capital
punishment law in the face of a rep
rimand from the electorate, which at
once affirmed it's belief in the eff
cacy of that law and stripped him of
authority which he had so grossly
abused, is important mainly as evil
dencing that the courts are awaken
ing to the danger to the fabric of the
law as a whole from such acts as
have marked Hunts attempts to sus-
pend the capital punishment law
In the case of Ramon Villalobo the
court held, in effect, that the appeal
should never have been permitted by
the lower court, holding that the time
in which the appeal might have been
legally taken had long since passed,
and observing that in that period no
effort had been made to take the ap-
peal.
The court might have gone further
and observed that the only reason
that the appeal was filed at all was
that other plans of the governor for
the saving of the neck of this MUIR
derer, equally as frivolous" as the
appeal, had failed, and it was not
hesitated to even use the courts to
further a movement which the gov
ernor has made a political hobby and
by which he knew that he must ride
or fall as it succeeded or failed.
The decision of the court and its
comment on the unusual procedure
of the appeal should give responsible
citizens sober thought. 1t will be re-
called that when the United States
circuit court of appeals held the So
called eighty per cent law" to be
unconstitutional, Governor Hunt pub
licly criticised the. court and con-
demned its construction of the law.
From which it may be inferred that
court decisions and expressions of
popular will are binding upon the
governor only when they conform to
his own opinions and further his own
plans.
In view of the state supreme courts
decision in the Villalobo case, its de-
cision in the case of the five other
condemned men, whose appeal from
conviction was equally as unusual,
will be watched for with interest
Governor Hunt has played a. fast
and loose game with the law since
he has occupied the governors chair

E. M. Sanford, who for many years
was prominently known attorney
at-law in Prescott it is believed, is
dead by the act of his own hand.
Intimations that he has gone the
way of a suicide are given in an AS.
soclated Press dispatch from East
Orange, n. j. His wife, who enter
tains this belief says in an interview:
Last Friday my husband ran out of
the home with a razor in his hand,
wildly saying that he would end it all.
Because of my crippled condition,
was unable to stop him"
Mrs. Sanford, according to state
ments made by the police had been
without food or sleep for four days
and nights, and was in a pitiable con-
dition of exhaustion waiting for her
husband to return. The scrubby coun-
try for miles around was searched,
but no trace of the missing man could
be found. He is understood to have
suffered heavy financial reverses re-
Gently and it is presumed he has de-
stroyed himself.

Prescott for over fifteen years and

The NEW PATRIOTISM

Americans have all along felt that
they have been fairly patriotic. Once
a year their public buildings are dec
Grated and. the American eagle
screams. Latterly, flags float from
school houses. We rise in theaters
when the national anthem is ung or
played. We boast of our country and
its people as superior to all others,
and we believe it. But out patriotism
is, after all, of a very nebulous quail
ity. and, as to the most of us, does
not mean very much. 1t is spread
over too much territory and over too
much time, usually whole year.
We have not begun at the beginning,

Jail Notice of appeal was Immediately
given, and the case will go to the SUI
preme court The defense was wholly
predicated upon the fact that the ac-

into the state, but stated that he
brought it in for his own use entirely.
The court charged the jury that this
did not constitute a defense.

OIL TANKS BURN AT TUCSON

: TUCSON. Ariz., Sept. 27.-Three Oil
tanks belonging to the Tucson Trans
fer company caught fire and burned
early this week, the fire endangering
a large lumber yard near by belong
ing to Knox Corbett. For some time
the origin of the fire was in doubt,
but it has at last been decided that
a lightning bolt caused the fire.
There were 1000 gallons in the two
tanks, much of which belonged to the
paving company at work here. The
smoke from the fire was very heavy
and spread all over the town, causing
much excitement.

set before US, we begin to wonder as
to the price of it all.
Germany's new loan brings her
total war cost to date up to $11,250,-
100000 Even this does not startle,
for the simple reason that millions
are spoken Of in connection with the
war, as thousands were before the
opening of the conflict. But when
the $11,250, 100000 war loan is set
alongside the $5.OOO,OOO,OO0 English
war loan that is about to be doubled,
and when the French loan is added
to the two, to say nothing of Rus
sias paper Indebtedness because of
the war, sound thinkers begin to
wonder whence it all comes.
Five billion odllars for war! Eleven
billion dollars for powder and shells!
Sixteen billions for slaughter! Twen-
ty-five billions for murder without
cause! This is the way the debt
piles up in countries that cannot ex-
plain to the world the purpose of the
struggle.
Germany's war loans exceed the
entire wealth of Belgium, which is
set as nine billions. 1t exceeds the
entire national wealth of Spain and
the Netherlands. 1t is just five times
greater than the national worth of
Portugal. 1t is twice as large as the
combined wealth of Portugal and
Switzerland. Germany's latest war
loan is greater in itself than was the
bonded national debt Of Great Britain
before the war; it is three times
greater than the bonded debt of Ger
many before the struggle.
With what Germany has paid for
war to date the national debt of the
United States could be paid four
times over. With the war loan money
of England the whole of Portugal
and Switzerland could be bought
if they were purchasable. With the
money Germany expends for war the
national debts of nearly all the coun-
tries of South America cohld be paid.
The entire war cost of the belli-
gerents would pay all the national
debts of Europe and North America.
With what has been spent for bullets
and shrapnel the whole of Austria
Hungary night be purchased. Russia
herself claims only national wealth
Of $40,00O,000, ,000-a sum not greatly
date
| These are figures that startle.
They are figures that disturb man
who will take the time to look them
| over. The poor of Europe are TAX
ing these fabulous fortunes from
their thin purses They are robbing
They are giving their homes and
their farms to the war god as Sc
curity for the money he lends them.
There will come a time when they
will realize the prize they pay. Such
war cannot go on much longer.
Money in the amounts borrowed by
the contending nations cannot be
stretched into infinity. There is a
price being paid for war that will
have to be repaid some day. And
the starving inhabitants of bankrupt
nations will have to foot the bill.
This is the financial side of the mess.

THE PRICE THEY PAY FOR WAR

Germany's new war loan of $5,000,-
100000, "the largest financial opera
tion in the worlds history" causes
wise men to think. The very fact
that the war drags on with alternate
losses and victories for both sides,
and with little of the thrill of the
first few weeks left, leads most Of us
to forget about the details of the
struggle. We have long since ac-
cepted the war as a condition. But
when cold figures that run into ten
places, and designated as 1oans," are
