It was indeed a sad day for Ger many when the Lusitania went down to the bottom of the sea, ladened with women and children. Germany had been making a wonderful fight, but this one act chrystalized the senti- ment of the neutral world against them as warning nation. It may be that it was their intention to bring America in at an hour when they be- lieve all was lost, or they have mis- taken the temperament of the Ameri- can people. Germans have ranked as among the best adopted citizens of America, as nation they have ranked among the first as highly civilized nation, and it looks to one dispassionately that either orders were disobeyed or that orders obeyed, a great nation has gone blood mad.

"SWAT THE FLY"

With the fly pest now at its worst stage of this section of Arizona, a menace to health as we'll as a hui sance to every resident of Mesa, the following from one of The Tribune exchanges is especially timely:
 There goeth a fly, Oh my, he niay rear million by and by. Son or daughter get the swatter for he's hid ing over here. Approach the rascal from the rear. Raise your head with steady aim-now he's on the window pane. Never let a chance go by to swat the fly.
 In the sty, Oh my, there may be a billion by and by, where we're giving them a living. Clean your places in and out. Leave no rotten thing about for a fly to get hold. He's very rascal bold. In the meantime, ere you die, swat the fly.
 He has an appetite, by jing, that can stomach anything; he's sneaking over there like a glutton for his share. Over refuse from the sewer, over germ laden manure from the barnyard's reaking smell to the din- ing hall as well. He's at home in any sphere where there are tempting draughts to cheer, be they found in foul refuse, or the tempting foods we choose. He's a mixer-good, no doubt-but we'll have to put him out, for he carries where he pleases, germs of many foul disease and, like a toper with his beer, there he passes far and near.
 'Tis decreed by mortal man on thy pate there is ban, and to aid this dire decree any one who may chance to see one of thy species lowering nigh must swat the fly.
 Now the bounty for this slaughter will be health in son and daughter, but when once rid of the fly it may be a job to die.

Amid the vast number of express. ions of opinion by governors and other men, in prominent positions in life in America, relative to president Wilson's declaration of principles to the German government, we find the following strenuous "youmaydoasyou- damplease" opinion from Governor Hunt, which will undoubtedly in- fuence public opinion to that extent, that whatever is done, is what he ad- vised Winsor to suggest:
 Phoenix, Ariz., May 14.--"This country's position, as defined in the American note to Germany" saidGov- ernor Hunt today, "should afford ex- cellent ground upon which to conduct a diplomatic exchange, with a reason able prospect of securing the desired assurance affecting American life and commerce"

It certainly does look as though the year 1915 would be the greatest one in the history of Flagstaff for the "city beautiful and sanitary" Paved sstreets and cement sidewalks will make the average citizen take pride in his home city and relieve him of many explanations when friends come to visit him. What different feeling it is to point with pride to things rather than be compelled to explain in regret and excuse.

SENATE IS HOPPING
 HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS

The senate appropriation committee this morning reported the house bill with numerous amendments and im- mediately thereafter the senate took up the measure, section by section, passing on the amendments as pro- posed and approving the sections in which no change was recommended. It was apparent from the first that there was well planned scheme to sustain the committee in the various reductions recommended and prior to adjournment about $60O00 had been stricken from the bill.
 The greatest sensation came when karns proposed to reduce the state fair appropriation one-half, and that sum conditioned on Maricopa county raising an equivalent sum. The mat ter was not finally disposed of but karns says such a provision will be in the bill before it leaves the senate.
 Another surprise of the day came in the adoption of an amendment pro- viding for the expense of a land com- mission, yet to be created, in an amount of $2l, ,0O0, an item proposed in the house, but rejected. The house took the attitude that such matter should go over until the general land bill was considered at the next ses- sion. The senate refused to appro- priate any money, however, for the land commissioners in the land com mission deficiency item, but did pro- vide for clerks.
 Numerous cuts were agreed to. The assistant secretary of state was re- duced to $2,100 a year, the secretary to the governor cut to $2,5OO, the stenographers taken from the mine inspector, the weight and measures and state treasurer. The corporation commissions contingent expense was cut to $30,O00 year, and a provision made that the department of insu- rance ana incorporation clerks should be paid from this sum.
 According to the chairman of the commission this will make travel with out the state in attending hearings, impossible and several leaders in the senate said that such was their inten- ton.
 The militia department was trim med, although the armory appropria- tion went through with the provision that of the next three built, Douglas should be one, which amendment was secured by Sims. The house question of amending the memorial to the gov ernor of Georgia for clemency in Leo Franks case, to provide a similar pe- tition to the Arizona board of pardons and paroles in the five cases now pending, went over until tomorrow, after which the house adjourned for the day.
