PENITENCE IN POLITICS

One year ago the Secretary of the Navy told an astonished nation that the American fleet was in a state of complete preparedness. Somewhat later naval experts concurred in re- port which set forth the solid fact that it would take five years of real work to prepare the fleet.
 One year ago the President of the United States knocked the proposals of the Secretary of War into cooked hat" by message which destroyed the sensible and excessively modest suggestions of Mir. Garrison. This is the record of the present administra- tion in the matter of national pre- paredness.
 Now, finally, after we have been on the edge of war, Mir. Wilson gives his sanction to a proposal to increase the army and the navy. The details of the plan remain unknown, but the public is promptly informed of the cost. This is patently an effort to stimulate en- thusiasn and accelerate popular ap- plause
 If the present administration hon estly favors some step, some reason able programme of national prepared ness both for army and for the navy, it will have the support of the coun- try as whole, without regard to par ty. But there is not the smallest req son vet to believe that the administra- ton is doing more than experimenting in words, without any sincere inten- tion to act.-N. r. Tribune.

ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS

We have at hand a letter signed and written for the good of all" which invites to wake up, stir up, kick up and create lot of trouble for everybody that does not exist Ac- cording to this hidden inciter the streets, fire department, city govern ment, post office and many other nuisances should be wiped off the earth.
 Anonymous letters were never known to create ripple in the tide of reform and improvement and the time spent in writing them is as much wasted as peace overtures to the war ing factions of Mexico.
 The proper and accepted course with anonymous letters is to forget that they were ever received but at this particular time this particular letter reminds us that Flagstaff is situated upon one of the best public service lines in the country, which offers chances for transportation ten times every twenty-four hours, and in view of all the disagreeable condi- tions here, egress from the city is made easy.
 Flagstaff is a normal town, enjoy ing normal growth and suffering from no abnormal conditions as some people would believe. The trend of public opinion is toward better streets and sidewalks, better lighting anC buildings, in fact, for all things that bring comfort, pleasure and enjoy. ment to the town as prosperous SO cial whole.
 The best boosters for the town arc the people who work as well as giv, advice; the ones who help out at tho pinch and keep on helping-not tho person who would turn the whole community into seething caldron ot prejudice, lies and discontent

THE ONE HOPE OF INSERTING
 HUNT

The Republicans of Arizona will have no difficulty in following the example of Massachusetts and con- fronting the Democratic machine with united Republican party next year if they will conduct their campaign along new lines and eliminate few of the professional politicians who have been adorning Republican tickets in Arizona from time immemorial.
 The Progressives in the state are just as anxious to overthrow the machine which holds the taxpayers in it's grasp as are the Republicans and will undoubtedly unite under the old banner if any reasonable terms are offered them. The abuse in the old party which led to discord must be corrected and the people given new deal. The ProgreSsives are not alone in this demand There is consider able element in the Republican party which wants house cleaning. In fact the great rank and file of Repu- blicans in Arizona would like to see some new leaders recruited from the ranks. There are many substantial Republicans who have never sought offices because they recognized that they would stand no chance with the professional politicians in control. With these letters eliminated, many good men who have hitherto summed politics can be persuaded to take a hand in the primaries and the best of material will be at the party's com mand. The time to fight this battle is before the primaries, for if those citizens who are anxious to see the old machine overthrown and state administration elected which will cut out extravaganza and reduce the tax rate, hope to succeed, they must make it their business to take an active in terest in the primary fight and see to it that men who can command the confidence of the public are nominated for office.
 The Democratic party in Arizons cannot hope to throw off the yoke of George w. P. Hunt at the next cleo. tion With the state machine at his back, he will be victorious in the pri maries whether he runs for Governor or Senator. In case he makes the lat ter fight, he will have his own candi date for Governor in the Democratic primaries.
 The first skirmish will come wher the election of delegates to the nation al conventions take place. The Hun machine will undoubtedly control tht selection of these delegates on tho Democratic side. If the Republican! throw out the professional politician! and give all sides fair deal, they vii undoubtedly be joined by the grea majority of the progressives in tn, selection of national delegates ant this will be the forerunner of success at the fall elections.--Tucson Citizen

The United States government for the week ending October 9, 1915, col lected revenue of $3,691 ,113 on $32,- 364, ,630 worth of imports entering the 13 principal customs districts of this country. This is an average ad valo- rem rate of duty of IA per cent, which indicates that large percent age of imports are coming in free, but the cost of living does not decrease. The annual average ad valorem rate of duty during the last year of the Republican tariff law was 17.6 per cent, and the Republican Secretary of the Treasury was not forced to the extremity of padding the Daily Treas ury Statement in order to make a good showing, which the present Se- cretary is now doing. Labor was un- iversally employed, and American in' dustries were adequately protected.

The President told committee of Jerseymen who offered him a summer home, rent-free, that he could not promise to spend much time in it. "l am under arrest down here," he said. A while ago he said that he was "tied by the legs in Washington" If he really feels that way about it, all he has to do is to accept the one-term plank in the Baltimore platform. How ever, after next summer he can have all the time off that there is.

Here is the last shred of that scrap of paper, the Democratic Platform of 1912: "We favor a single presidential term, and to that end urge the adop- ton of an amendment to the Constitu- tion making the President of the United States ineligible for reelection, and we pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle" ........ "Our pledges are made to be kept when in office"

Hon. Eugene N. Foss, of Mass achusetts, is quoted as saying: "All agree that the Underwood law is in adequate. Nothing but the war has saved the situation for the American manufacturer" As Mir. Foss has played politics on both sides of the protective issue, possibly this points his arrival at a settled conviction at last.

Neither the resignation of Diaz, nor the assassination of Madero nor the forced withdrawal of Huerta served to "pacify" Mexico. Why should Mr. Wilson think that the recognition of Carranza will do it? The fact is that Mexico can be pacified only by firm hand; the hand of the United States to be exact.
