San Geronimo Ranch

It is not quite clear from the dispatches whether Villa himself was actually present at the battle of San Geronimo ranch Friday, but there is no doubt that his central band was and routed by the sud- den dash of the American troopers The Vilstas were given touch of high life which had not been pre- vously administered them in their two years ex- perience in warfare.
 The troopers maintained American traditions not only battle in the rapidity with which they brought it about once they turned loose by our waverng government. They had moved under great difficulties and with ceerity 200 miles into the interior point where the bandits believed them selves be safe the shadow of the Continental Di vide, accessible only those who know the trails.
 The dispatch with which the expedition moved after had passed under the supreme control of Gen. eral Funston, offsets in great measure the delay with which got ready to move while it was founder ing about in the of the civilian department. Whatever glory there in the fight at San Geroni attaches solely to General Funston, General Persh ing and the brave officers and men under them.
 What they did in six hours will have more po- all the palavering in which government had n- dulged for years. It will do still It will it had thrown away.

Election Frauds

Citizens should await proof of the illegal regis trations which have been alleged before jumping at the conclusion that something unusual has happened. The Republican in it's disclosures of yesterday morning recorded only surface indications What lies beneath remains seen It pretty well established that has been illegally registered and voted and that the person who procured her registration should be punished severely the law permits As whether such frauds in this campaign have been more extensive than usual proof will be required.
 These things done unfortunately, in almost every heated campaign and that they done year after year is the fault of officers charged with the execution of the law, rather than of the criminal and vicious who commit the offenses. Always charges made just before hpty contested election by party, faction another, that there has been great illegal registration and that extensive frauds templated Sometimes arrests made election day the night before and after election the ter is almost invariably allowed to drop We do not recall that anybody has been punished in Ari- for crime of any character against the bal lot The public s therefore, left doubt whether any fraud has actually been committed whether were not themselves playing political trick.
 It is charged that about 200 persons have been illegally registered the city election Tues day. It will be very easy matter to show whether that is true; and if true. by what conspiracy
 
 list If after the municipal election the city authori ties appear have lost interest in this very serious matter hope that the county attorneys will up, inquire if the charges that have been made appear we'll founded prosecute them with the greatest vgor.
 Politicians quickly lose interest in such things; their interest disappears with the end of the pagn. They have nothing to gain then by prescott ing offenders against the ballot and beside, they do know that year the exigences campaign may not leave it desirable for them the of offenders They have only been worsted in one inning of dirty of which there will be other innings.
 But the public has, should have permanent and continuing interest in these things Fraud is costly and demorazing and a demand should be made upon the authorities for full investigation of situation that has been presented Somebody, either offenders accusers should be pilloried that, henceforth political campaigns in Phoenix ried on decently #

The Rural Roads Bill

House bill 76l7 in the form of its substitute in the senate, reported from the on post roads by Chairman Bankhead the other day, good roads bill providing federal aid the for the promotion of agriculture, affordng better facilities for rural transportation and marketing and encourage gen. eral system of improved highways, will be much more acceptable the than either the original Shackleord bill that bill amended in the house by the committee agriculture.
 The Shackleford idea that particular school or thought with reference to good roads building, the making of markets and towns accessible rural munties, and distinguished from the trunk line idea is maintained in the substitute bill. The bill in it's present form differs from original bill and as it was later amended in the house. to the manner and volume in which federal aid shall be ap- piled. The original bill left tb rural communities to take the initiative form themselves into road dis trics and then seek aid from their and their states before federal aid would become available
 The bill as amended in the house provided that fund of not more than s25OOOOOo should be provided annually and that there should apportoned to each state out of such appropriations; half of the remainder to be apportioned among states in the ratio of their population and the half of the remainder in the ratio of the mileage rural free de- livery and star mail routes.
 Such arrangement unfair in that it pro- vded aid in the greater volume the more popuous states which in less need of it. The again dis crminated in their favor by the greater mile age of rural free delivery routes in populous com munities.
 The senate substitute takes smother important factor into consideration-that of area Under the original Shackleford bill amended and passed by the house. Arizona for instance, would receive from appropriation of $25ooOoOO including the fixed ap portionment of $6500o of the states the sum of $17512 Under the provisions the bill as it now stands, Arizona would receive $35s,166.67
 Otherwise the bill does not differ materially from the original Under neither could roads in towns of 250O be included within district seeking aid Pro- vision is made not only for aid in construction of roads but also for their maintenance and maintenance is defined in the bill the keeping of the road .in

An Open Letter

An Open Letter
 Phoenix, Ariz., April - 1916. To J. L. B. Alexander,
 President of the Arizona Bar Asso-
 citation, Phoenix, Ariz.
 My Dear Sir:
 have read with considerable interest your recent article in the Municipal Review, entitled, "The Bar Association. it's purposes and it's relation to the Lawyer
 In response I beg to state that l read with interest wour article because it recalls to memory some of my own per- sonal experiences with Arizona attorn- eys, therefore keeping that sad and costly experience in view I cannot re- frain from offering objections to your article, and question the integrity of at least a few Arizona attorneys.
 Now, MT. President if you sincerely and fearlessly desire to place the Ari- zona State Bar Association upon the elevated pedestal that such profess sion should stand. and at the same time extend to the public of Arizona fear less protection, absolutely free from combination. confederation and politi- cal influence, especially when the in- tegrity of one of it's members is ques- tioned if this be your principle and pur- pose, then I wish you every success, and sincerely trust that you may be able to reach the goal of your ambi- tion. When this is done you will find that the demagogue and ignorant critic will automatically vanish. The legal profession is undisputedly an honorable one, and one that should those lines and principals that would elevate it above reproach of criticism. Arizona has in the legal profession many gentlemen of the highest ability. and whose integrity is unquestioned, these gentlemen are credit to the pro- fession, and also shining example for Ithe student to follow. But unfOrtun- ately we find another class, "an in creasing one" of attorneys in the legal profession, that possess little or no ability. and apparently do not under stand what integrity means, this class prey like vultures upon the innocent client, and by their conduct give the l demagogue and so-called ignorant | cism upon the legal profession as a whole
 Now MT. President, if the Bar Associ- atiOn is formed for the welfare of it's members and also for the fearless ad- ministration of the public business at large, and does not tolerate any com bination or confederation among it's members, etc., then I desire to place be fore you for consideration the follow I ing, to-wit:
 Why is it, when an attorney is en- gagged by a client and by written con- tract agrees to do certain things. etc, but who later treats said contract as a scrap of paper. and when the client seeks redress he finds it impossible to secure any legal assistance. because the integrity of brother attorney as at stake?
 l Why is it, when in the trial of a civil matter an attorney attempts to intro lduce fraudulent evidence Ga felony crime) and is caught red handed with the goods on him, yet nothing can be done in criminal way. and absolutely nothing in disbarment proceedings,

Her Reflections in Prose and verse

Thinking that, perhaps, my readers might enjoy it, I have given poeti- cal setting to the following story, taken form the notebook of a recent traveller in the Emerald Isle
 AN IRISH HAUNTING CAR We hired, in, Connemara,
 For quite modest bill, A jaunting-car to take us
 From Westport to Achill When asked how many people
 In such a car could ride, The ready Irish driver
 Touching his cap, replied, Four if you sit adjacent, And do not care to mix; But if you sit familiar, Twill aisy carry six!' Three newly welded couples, Just landed from the ship, We chose to "sit familiar" And twas lovely trip. Yet, one old Westport loafer Gave us this ugly whack. They'll likely sit adjacent Next year-when they come back. Having seen Roosevelt lake, here I in endeavOr to make more or l less free-hand drawing of it, and it's environs. The subject is worthy of a larger canvas, and much better treatment than I am able to give it LAKE ROOSEVELT The sun shines fair on Roosevelt lake | This Arizona night: It's beams a glowing pathway make l Like phOsphorescent light. Along this track, in merry quest, The whispering ripples curl, Each bearing on it's limpid breast A white and lucent pearl. 1 Now we embark Our little craft Speeds eastward OCT the tide; And clearly, as if photographed, New wonders are deserted. lGreen slopes, beneath a rocky wall A breeze that stirs the blood Romantic scenes. and over all
 The sunsets yellow flood. Though deep the gulf, it's depths ar'
 clear,
 And we may almost note The gamey fish disporting near,
 Below our moving boat. Returning leisurely, we hear
 The spillway- torrents pour, And know the massive dam is near
 Uniting shore with shore. I've know. that on the moonles
 nights, | Along it's curving crest, A chain. of incandescent lights,
 Reveals it's beauty best.
 Ger which the Swiss exults; Or Lake Chatauqua, where we lear
 The new, esthetic cults. lit is-although we little reck
 How full it's bounty flows A bank from which, the more W
 check,
 The more our balance grows. leo see them both and don't forget The dam structure grand; The lake, a sparkling jewel set
 In natures Wonderland.

Mr Jones for Commissioner

During the municipal primary campaign, The Republican urged the nomination of James A. Jones for commissioner and it urges his election the record he has made businessman and his reputation for integrity built up in twenty years of residence in Arizona. We also his election be- cause he is not politician and is identified with political faction.
 We have had too much politics, perhaps not party politics. but worse, factiona politics, the city hall for the last years The commission form of gov ernment, confess, has popular expectation in Phoenix but the form is not fault It has fallen short of complete because we have not had busnessmen direct the affairs of the city. Without such direction the commission form is better than other form of municipal government.
 Mir Jones is a businessman and urgeathe CTS of Phoenix to give him trial and, at the time, thereby, give the commission form fair trial So far it has had

owing to the fact that said attorney has too much money and too strong pull to be overcome by his victim, who in this case happens to be poor? Why is it, when a client has been de- frauded of several thousand dollars. due principally to the corrupt dealings of attorneys, etc, yet no redress can be had because the gang (attorney ring) are too strong and you are advised that you haven't a ghost of chance, even 1 if you have the law on your side? Now, MT. President, if you will take the time to investigate and do so with out fear of whom it may hit, you will l find plenty of proof (not technical either) to convince you that all is not well in the legal profession of Arizona, and that the dema gogue and so-called l ignorant critic has some cause for com plaint. Where you find smoke you us- ually find fire, therefore should you de- sire to- rid the legal profession of Ari- ZOna of some of the parasites that are now preying upon the innocent clients, then your opportunity is at hand, to make good and thereafter place the Bar Association and the integrity of the le- gal profession of Arizona above any further criticism.
