Proud of Ships and Crews.

MY professional training as jour
nalist has always inclined me TO the
conviction that any officer. within the
prescribed limits recognized In the
navy. should feel free 10 express his
opinion in regard To matters In the
service. and there Is not an officer who
commands n ship today who could or
would say that his ship. without or
within. was not rs good as it was two
years ago or that the officers who
command IL and the crews who man IL
are not as thoroughly disciplined. so
Der. loyal and efficient as they were
two years ago or as they ever had
been.
This year more battleshlps and de-
stroyers have participated in the ma

For great many years the
republican party in Congress has
been advocating a merchant

publics, but democratic opposi-
tion was always strong enough

Now we have the amusing sight
of seeing Secretary, of the Treas
ury McAdoo and other promi-
nent democrats close to the Pres
ident, out openly advocating a
merchant marine and a stronger
navy. Why this change of front,
evidently with the knowledge
and consent of the President?
Probably before the campaign

democrats out whooping 'er up

For a state that claims to be
the breeding place for reformers
California has more crookedness
and grating, if the papers are
to be believed, than any state in
the union. Would it not be a
good scheme for the state to quit
propogating so many new re-
forms, and for a while devote
her energies to putting some of
her reformers in the peniten-
tiar7. At Los Angeles the grand
jury remains in continuous ses-
sion, and they are so far behind
in their indictments that a move
ment will be started soon to have
the law amended so they can
have two grand juries, so the
statute of limitation won't run
a gainst a crime before the grand
jury can reach the case.

When the striking miners beat
up an engineer and fireman at
Clifton, because they pulled a
train out of that town bearing as
passengers the mine superinten-
dents, they forfeited the good
will and moral support of all the
federated railroad organizations.
1t also put the strikers in the
lawless mob class. The miners
had not even requested a sympa-
thetic strike by the railroad men,
and this engineer and fireman
were cleally within their rights
when they took charge of their
engine, when called for duty,
and the dirty, cowardly assault
was unjustifed and indefensibIe.

Sunday Observance.

The country press has been
deluged for several days past
with alleged special correspon-
dence from the annual confer
ence of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists at Phoenix, but a care
full perusal of the stuff proves
that the writers are more
interested in a Wide-open Sunday
than they are in the spread of
religion, even of the Seventh
Day Adventists. The recognition
of our Sunday as legal holiday
is too firmly grated in the con-
stitutions of the nation and the
states to be ever annulled or
revised, and if the only mission
Of the Seventh Day Adventists is
to keep up an agitation of the
Sunday law, about the only
encouragement they will find will
be among a class of people who
are advocates of general lawless-
ness. Our recognized Sunday is
firmly ent"enched in the lives of
millions Of people who embrace
no religious belief, and it is no
longer considered the Sunday of
the church, but a day of rest
from the tolls of the week. II
the adventists think they are
furthering the Masters cause by
a continued crusade for a wide
open Sunday, and predicting the
end of the world from time to
time which never comes as
scheduled, we have no objections
whatever, but we beg to be excus-
ed from publishing that kind OF
rot as religious news. And the
editor has no church affiliations
whatever to warp his judgment.

Arizona State Fair.

An innovation will be conduct
ed in connection with the Baby
Department of the Arizona State
Fair this year which will
undoubtedly meet with the
enthusiastic approval of all the
mothers and fathers who are
anxious to see the great State
Fair, yet oftentimes are con-
strained from attending owing to
the fact that there are several
youngsters in one family that
needs must be attended to dur
ing the entire time of the visit
to the fair grounds, thus detract-
ing both from the good effect of
the fair upon the aforemention-
ed ''papas and mamas" as well
as making the parents tired and
worn out before half of the fair
has been seen.
1t is nothing more than a
kindergarten and day nursery
which will be in charge of a grad
uate nurse, with competent help,
and where babies can be checked
at the rate of ten cents per hour,
whilst the parents are seeing the
great fair and enjoying it also.
In connection there will be a
playground for the little tots
also, so that they will be having
a regular picnic at the same time
papa and mama" are enjoying
themselves.
Another convenience will be
that babies of the bottle age'
can be left at tthe nursery just as
we'll as the larger kiddies. These
bottle babies will be looked after
just a much as if they really
belonged to the quiet walking
efficient nurses who will have
charge of that part Of the affair.
If it should happen also that the
youngsters need feeding during
the absence of the parents they
will be fed proper food from
cows that are one hundred per
cent healthy.
This is a step in the right
direction and the fair manage
ment is already receiving con-
gratulations for the idea. 1t will
be source of great comfort and
satisfaction to all parents with
young babies who visit the Great
er Arizona State Fair in Novem-
Der, 1915.

Some fellow tried a blackhand
letter on J. C. Adams, of the
Adams hotel, of Phoenix, and he
fixed up bundle of papers to
look like $500 in real money and
hid it under a bridge as request
ed, and notified the police to
watch the place. A few hours
later Mr.. Adams got to thinking
how real the package looked,
and it got on his nerves, SO he
got in his car, went to the cache,
picked up his bundle and started
away. Then the policeman in
ambush got busy with his revol-
yer, thinking he had the black
handler, and Mr.. Adams got busy
getting: out of range. Later at
the hotel the whole situation was
cleared up, and the policeman
congratulated himself that he
was poor marksman. The
moral to this story is that when
you put up a bundle of "phoney"
money you must not make it so
real as to deceive yourself.

The initiative, referendum and
recall, the twin of that other
misft of alleged reform, the
direct primary, is prompter and
breeder Of the crimes of forgery
and perjury. In California the
echo of nearly every petition
circulated is the indictment of
two or three individuals for forg-
ing signatures, or for perjury in
making the required affidavit to
a petition. And it will always
be thus. When petitions are put
in the hands of ward politicians
for circulation, and they are paio
on the measure of success they
attain in getting signatures,
which is the usual method
pursued, there is never any
hesitancy in forging all the
signatures necessary, and max
ling perjured affidavit. And
they call this scheme a great
reform measure to protect the
rights of the people. An initia-
tive petition in the hands of a
ward politician could be filled
calling an election to amend the
Lords Prayer or repeating the
Ten Commandments; and a Grim
inal piece of legislation that
would make such thing pos
sible, is called a reform measure.
and we are supposed to bow
'obeisience to the disordered mind
that framed the scheme.

NOMINATION HELD HIGH
BY EX-SENATOR BURTON
Visits District Prior to Another Trip
Through the West to Avoid
Political Subjects.

Former Senator Burton of Ohio was
a rest sojourn at Hot Springs, Va, to
his home in Cleveland, where he will
vote tomorrow.
Mr.. Burton is still disincliued to talk
for publication as il he were an avowed
and active candidate for the republican
presidential nomination. as he is ac-
cepted to be in republican political circles.
1.-THE presidential nomination." said
Mr.. Burton today, 'is too high a po-
litical honor to be sought and worked
for by the means which would be justi-
fed in seeking an office of less dignity
than the presidency.
Many friends in my own and other
states have been kind enough to offer
friendly suggestions in connection with
the nomination, and l am still receiy-
ing them. The next republican nom
inee for the presidency will be selected
in open convention. after free and full
consideration of the merits. political
and otherwise, of all the men whose
names are now mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination"
Mr.. Burton will go west again this
month to speak in several states be-
yond the Mississippi river and will be
thus occupied until well into the win
ter. He will address Kansas repub-
licans at state gathering January
2s. He has confined his remarks for
the most part to non-political subjects.

NEW TRIAL FOR DISTRICT
IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Trial Judge Erred in Failing to In
struct Jurors, Court Of Ap-
pea1s Holds.

The District Of Columbia was awarded
today by the Court of Appeals a new trial
in suit for damages brought against the
municipality for the death of P. Dallas
Washington. who was killed when fence
guarding an embankment on Nichols ave-
nue., in Anacostia. gave way.
The opinion of the appellate court,
rendered by Justice Robb, reverses the
judgment against the District because
of the refusal of the trial Judge to in
struct the jurors that If they believed
from the evidence that the dead man
had been sitting on the fence he was
subjecting the barricade to an unusual
use and could not recover damages.
The plaintiff claimed that Washington
was only leaning against the board
fence, while witnesses for the District
asserted he was seated on the lower
rail. Justice Robb says: in what way
the forcc was exerted that caused the
rail thus to be wrenched from its sup
port is, of course, a question for the
Jury, but the District was not required
to construct or maintain a railing that
would resist such an unusual and IN
necessary strain as would be likely to
come from using the rail as a seat.
Refusal of this instruction was error"

BRITISH CORRESPONDENTS
VISIT THE GRAND FLEET
Unite in Tributes to Preparedness
and Efficiency of the
Navy.

LONDON, November 1.-Graphic de-
scriptions of the first visit of British
newspaper men to Great Britain's
grand fleet are published by all the
morning papers. They unite in payin G
tribute to the preparedness and eff
cheney of the British navy, not only as
to the main fighting units. but also to
the less prominent but equally impor-
tant auxiliaries of various types.
A naval officer aboard one of the
ships told the correspondent that in
addition to the war feet proper there
are between two thousand and three
thousand ships of the merchant marine
employed in transport and supply duty
and as many more engaged in patrol
work or in foiling the declining ef-
forts of enemy submarines
One full day of the visit was spent in
inspecting large, new naval works at a
place which a short time ago was
swamp land, but now Is a live and busy
naval establishment which will be
large enough when completed to &C
commodate twenty dreadnaughts. The
works include three dry docks. each of
which is capable Of holding any ship
afoat.
