COURAGE VS.. DECENCY.

The other day an excited individual
rushed into newspaper office with a choice
bit of scandal burning his tongue. 1t
made no difference to this person that the
scandal affected the daughter of his neigh
bor-that the mother of the girl was serious
ly ill-that the brother was just entering
what promised to be successful professional
career. The scandal was rich in flavor and
he wanted to see it in the paper, He told
the editor about it, with every evidence of
the keen relish of the scandal connoisseur,
but impressed upon the newspaper man that
the source of his information must be kept
inviolably secret. When the paper came out
the man returned to demand why the story
hadn't been printed. Short, sharp words
followed, and the visitor called the editor a
coward and left, vowing that man who was
afraid to print the news had no right to be
an editor. To our mind, that editor was
brave man. The informer who demanded
that his name be kept secret, was the cow
ard The editor ran paper in a small town.
So closely related were the lives of the indi-
viduals, that the editor knew every detail of
the story before. his visitor called on him.
But he could see no profit for himself nor
glory for his paper in printing an item that
would bring sorrow to the gray hairs of
father, disgrace to a brother and probably
serious consequence to a sick mother. If
the news appetites of his readers were SO
voracious, he thought, as to demand this
costly food, he would refuse to pay the price.
The editor was right. Many things he has
to print which he would rather leave unsaid,
but the scandal which has only its "spice" to
recommend it should have no place in the
columns of self-respecting paper. We
would rather build than tear down. We
would rather print the things that help and
encourage and uplift than to hold up the
mistakes of some unfortunate to the scorn
and contempt of his neighbors. Decency is
not lack of courage. If it were, we would
rather be decent than courageous

ALLHANDS TOGETHER.

That the business men and property
owners of Clifton are alive to the Importance
of securing highway leading from Clifton
north, through the Apache National Forest,
connecting with Springerville, was manifest
last Monday evening at meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce held in the parlors of
the Clifton Hotel The sentiment of the
meeting was enthusiastically in favor of CO.
operating with the Department of Agrlcul-
ture, through Our members in congress, in
securing from congress appropriations for
a forest road which will insure the marketing
of the products of the Apache Forest Re-
serve Several talks were made by business
men. and the concensus of opinion was that
the opening of the vast resources in the
northern end of this county, by measn of a
frst-class highway, constructed jointly by
the county and the forestry department,
would mean business boom for the Clifton
Morenci district, and the county in general.
Another meeting has been called at the
same place for Saturday evening, August 7,
at 8 o'clock At this meeting a committee
will be appointed to appear before the Board
of Supervisors on Monday morning next
and urge upon them the Importance of this
project and request their official assistance
in matter, the successful elimination of
which means so much to every taxpayer in
the county To this meeting Saturday
evening all citizens are invited and their CO.
operation desired. All join hands together
and let's pull long and hard for bigger
and more prosperous district.

THE THIRD ACT.

The granting of stay of execution in
the cases of the four condemned murderers
at Florence can at the best be only temper
airy. Beyond doubt the Supreme Court
of the state will reverse the decision of Judge
McAllister made at Florence last week and
the defendants be re-sentenced to be hung at
a future date. But, we note that within the.
last week, sufficient signers have been seeur-
ed to an initiative petition proposing a law
ON the ballot at the next election, Nov. 1916,
abolishing capital punishment, notwithstand-
ign this proposition was Overwhelmingly de-
feated at the last election. Unless we mistake
not the stage is being set for the third act in
the farcial production at Florence. We ex-
pect to see the Governor and the Warden at
the last minute defy the mandates of the
court and set aside the capital punishment
law endorsed by majority of the people of
this state. In the event that this prognosti-
cation should come to pass there will be an
other election in this state, prior to Novem-
Der, 1916, and G. w. P. Hunts name will
appear on that ticket. Even the worm will
turn at last

A BUNGLED JOB.

In the attempt to save the red handed
assassins, awaiting execution at the Florence
penetentiary, convicted and sentenced under
the laws of this state, it is regretable that
Judge A. G. McAllister, of Graham county,
could not have been spared the criticism
and harsh condemnation that has fallen to
his lot as the principal actor in the two act
farce
The conclusion to be reached, after
perusal of the proceedings, is that Judge Nc
Allister was assigned to the unpleasant duty
of setting at naught the laws of the state IN
order to satisfy the anti-capital punishment
elemen. The fact that he funbled the decis-
ion, in order to arrive at the desired end
justifes the assertion and the conclusion. No
doubt it was an unpleasant duty shouldered
upon him by the Chief Executive of the state,
but Judge McAllister should have mounted
to the bench resolved to hear the motion for
a writ of habeas corpus for the condemned
men according to the law and the evidence.
Instead, we have the spectacle of Judge
Sinking the responsibility placed upon him,
even to the extent of reversing his own de-
cision within few hours, not because any
new evidence .or law decisions had been pre-
scented to him, but because it was discovered
later that his first decision afforded the at
torneys for the defendants no ground for an
appeal
The Graham county judge evidently
labored under the opinion that an appeal
would lie from his first decision denying the
writ of habeas corpus application and when
later it was discovered that under his first
decision there was no alternative but to carry
<sif the law of the state fixing death as the
penalty for cold blooded murder, he rushed
boldly into the breach and at night session
laid new foundation for an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the State. s.,y..., ~.
In the face OF such judicial (?) proceed
ings it is not surprising to hear the Assistant
Attorney General of the state remark: that
his disgust had overcome his interest in the
matter

PROGRESSIVE ISSUES
ARE WANING

What has became of the three pro-
gressive issues which stirred Arizona
during the days of approaching state
hood and the following constitutional
convention. We are alluding to the
initiative referendum and recall
which were to lead Arizona in the
paths of political purity and holiness.
Arizona has been woefully disappoint-
ed in these three supposed political
graces. The pepole have been har-
raised with numerous legislative pro-
posals as a result of the initiative,
but who can point to any real benefit
that has come to the state by any
initiative law that was not available
from a legislature?
The experience Of Oregon, Califor-
mia and Arizona with those progress
sive methods seem 10 have worked to
kill all desire for them in other
states. Texas voted down all of
them last year and it Is not likely that
any other state will desire to handi-
cap sane government by their adop-
ton. 1t is most likely that the next
time these progressive ideas become
an issue will be when they are taken
from the constitutions of those states
which were deluded into their adop-
ton. Douglas International.

OF both factions OF the democratic party in

patters and Bull Moose would hardly expect
any approving word from the Republican.

WIT SON DIRECTED
 PASSPORT PROBE
New York Grand Jury Investigation of Alleged Frauds Carried Out
 By Order of President.

Washing ton, March 2.-President Wilson revealed today that he had directed the present New York grand jury investigation into the alleged passport frauds.
 It was indicated however, that unless indictments were returned the United States could not take notice officially of charges made against di- plomatic officers or embassy attaches. The name of Capt. Boy-Ed, naval at tache of the German embassy, has been brought prominently into one case.
 While. international law holds a diplomatic officer immune from ar rest, it is said it does not preclude indictment. In such an event the af- fair becomes a question of the accept ability of any officer involved.
 Officials at the state department have refrained scrupulously from expressing any opinions on the mer- it's of the passport cases as they af- feet diplomatic officers. reiterating that the entire matter still is before the department of justice.
 President Wilson said today he had no official knowledge of reports that Count Bernsto orff, German am- bassador, was to leave his post here.
