Such acts the torpedong Of the British liner Fl,- aba by German submarine makes the whole world sicS heart It is hard to believe that in the twentieth century any enlightened government will sanction the deliberate slaughter Of more than hundred nonconr batant passengers and sailors at stroke that any naval commander will carry out official poIic7 with such cod-blooded inhumanity

 What Germany hope gain by sinking a line' carrying 25O persons, passengers and crew without giving them time to escape? There is no material ad vantage whatever. The moral effect of it is to rouse sluggish Britain a white heat of that means nercer onslaught on Germany: to send glow Of anger through Che whole impartial world and bring sorrow to the hearts of all people everywhere who like and ad mre Germany for her many good and great qualities

Slowly but surely the authority of the Court in Arizona is being established protected against out side influence Justice is gropng her out of maze created by dissension The law is in a fair to ercise that wholesome fear which is its chief deterrent of crime The Supreme Court of this State las delivered the opinion that the psrdoung power can be exercised by Chief Executive only it is dele gated to him by the Board Pardons application H specihc cases entitled to cemency.
 The Supreme Court holds that the judicial capaci:y of Chief Executive is not superior to that of the Bench The Supreme Court holds that the action tho people in creating Pardon Board and equippng it with authority was taken in order to provide as it will pro vide all the safeguard necessary against the misca rage of justice The Supreme Court holds that this action of the people cannot be nuli6ed arbitrarily by any Chief Executive whom the people may elevate to office.
 If 1t were not for the fact that Governor Hunt en- gagged to abide by the peoples decision in the matter as expressed at the election which returned him to office, charitable view the situation would have it that he honestly in doubt the judicial authority which rested did not rest in his office But waiying the inconsistency of his position mani fest by his attitude opposing the peoples will and adopt ing the charitable view t well that case was prepared and the question authority brought up final adjudication.
 As the .matter now stands capital punishment ii Arizona will not be subjected to the caprice of whom soeyer is the incumbent Of the highest office in th, State A Governor of shrinking sensibutes can uo longer nfct his tenderhearedness or chicsen-heart edness upon law enforcement On the other hand tho danger contained in the presence of a bruush execu tive inclined to railroad condemned man from the court the gbbei removed The people this stats have affirmed their belief in the necessity for capital punishment The decision of the Supreme Court that the intelligence of the entire electorate entitled 10 respect and be respected in preference the timental consideration of man. is wise and Iogi. cal decision.
