A Misuse of Ammunition

The Republican has learned with some astonish- ment and regret that extracts it's editorials being used by the vets" in the California prohibition campaign. These extracts have curously been taken from editorials supporting the pending prohibition amendment in this state and The Republican from the beginning has been advocate of the amend ment believing that is essential to the full effective ness of our present prohibition law.
 The excerpts which being used by the Cali fornia "wets" describe the conditions which have existed in Arizona since the supreme decision, holding that under law may import liquor for his personal use This decision whether it is right wrong We have explained has thrown down the bars and greatly facilitated the operations of boot egsers In this respect the unregulated distribution of liquor greater than before the saloons abolished: liquor is brought to minors who before could obtain it with greater difficulty. We have stated belief that there probably hard liquor being consumed in Arizona than before prohi- biton voted though less beer and wine.
 But with all these evils which can be eliminated only by the exclusion of liquor from the state and that Is what the proposed amendment will accom- psh conditions still better than they before prohibition adopted. The saloons have been closed and notwithstanding the activity of the boot lesgers many persons have been placed beyond temp tation. They do not come into contact with boot leggers they may be able pay the prices the hootleggers ask; or there may be a of self respect curious twist of conscience which prevents their dealing with bootleggers.
 We know of many men who drank regularly and excessively when liquor could be bought in saloons but who sober, abstnent citizens Proh- hition far has NOT been a failure in Arizona It has not fallen short of the expectation those who voted for it. but the interpretation of the has fallen short of the intention of the people. now proposed bring the law up popular expectation. That is what the prohibition amendment which will be designated No 1O4 the official ballot will do
 This amendment will undoubtedly be adopted overwhelmingly. The prohibition sentiment in Arizona is much widespread than it was two years ago. Many voters who wet" then dry" now but do not know of a dry who has gone over to the vets" Certainly large majority of the people satisfied with prohibition far as it has been effective that they desire make more effective.
 If the "wets" of California can find anything in the foregoing statement that they think will be of service them in their campaign they are hereby authorized to make of it.

BOOKS AND THE OUTDOOR LIFE

Now, literature is not the whole of life nor is the study of nature the whole secret of literary nspira tion But recreation of body and mind is drawn from obscure and various sources, and the well rounded genius seems to feed itself upon nature much more than upon books book is most useful as literary helper when it may be used glass with which to better view nature. I would not be understood as saying that all worthy literature is, should be- mere interpretation of outdoor life far from it. Out door life may say furnishes the inspiration, the thusiasm the freshness It furnishes the water for the clay it gives the hand it's certainty the mind it's leases upon youth It does not make the mind the hand it merely informs them with the creative effluence of nature, Thoreau would express it. It has a fertilizing power-this lonely communion with the outdoor forms of life-whch may trace in the best works of the genuses of all ages Pan, when he pursued the flying SyrinX and at last clasped arm ful of reeds instead of the nymph very accurately typified the poet. He took the reeds and made of them his pipes He had caught the idea of music from the sounds of the rustling leaves and stems Maurice Thompson.

England Headed for Protection

While England, the greatest commercial nation In the world is coming to the protective tariff as dire necessity democratic president of the United States blissfully the inflow of gold and pro- claims the fallacy of protection He wants and free trade and he begins by throwing open the American market without obtaining any equivalent concessions in other markets. Two-thrds of all the goods imported in the United States are on the free list There is neither protection American industry and labor or revenue to the government The gigantic market of the United States is handed over free gift to the foreign employers of cheap labor.
 How lcng the United States stand such an arrangement after the war, when England and Eur opes soldiers transformed into producers of manufactures? With Europes markets closed to Americans and Americas markets open Europeans which direction would the flow of gold take across the Atlantic?

Industrial Preparedness

Isaac F. Marcoson, American writer of good reputation recently returned from Europe, where he made an economic study of France and England. In interview in the New York Times of Sept 30 MT. Marcosson said:
 Considering first the determination of England and her allies to be self contained, it certain that after the England will have protective tariff high protective tariff, England every thing needed in England to be supplied by England and her colonies The British want cut down their imports and keep gold at home This movement is going forward with tremendous bounds.

EARS ON SUBMARINE MINES

Edward F. Chandler, inventor who has made close study of submarine problems, has worked system of applying microphones to mines that it would be possible to blow up a submarine trying to worm it's way into mine protected harbor battle ship seeking to enter harbor at night in dense fog
 "In my system" writes Mir. Chandler "the mines arranged in groups of four, each group consti- tuting field unit. On each mine a mcrophone is mounted. These mcrophones literally hear the hum of submarines motor Not only that, but the par tcuar microphone which hears the submarine best, because it is the nearest to it. easily be located
 Tt is simple enough to determine whether sub marine is mine or mine of a given field unit of four mines. The field units interconnected electrically that the entire harbor is with high explosive.
 "A mine field equipped with microphones in the indicated is electrically connected with lum inous annuncator. In other words wires from each mcrophone to board which is divided into squares corresponding in number with those of the mine field units. Behind each square lamp is mounted As hostile ship passes through a mine field the nearest mcrophones pick the vibrations of her propeers and the corresponding lamps the board glow."-Popular Science Monthly.

The Next Mexican Conference

While that foolish American Mexican conference deliberating at Atlantic City, the bandit Villa is gaining strength and the legasta" party is bringing together the various Carranza elements with the object of throwing him of power they can catch him. That would probably mean his execution. In that if it should occur before the end of the foolish and nterminable conference the Mexican con- ferees would be left in a bad way They would have nobody, nothing represent The plight of the American conferees would not be much happier; they would have representatives to confer with
 But We suppose then our government would pro- pose another conference with the de facto head in Mexico. whoever he might be-even the bandit Villa Tn that event the unnitated would naturally suppose that among the matters that would be brought up would be the Columbus New Mexico, incident that Villas eonferees would be asked if they could offer anything in extenuaton the raid across the border and the murder of citizens watchfu but sleepy garrison.
 Not at all There would be no embarrassing questions asked by the American conferees; nothing Co rake up old animostes In the present conference we have been informed that the Carrza incident in which several American soldiers were killed by Car ranza soldiers under orders presumably emanating from Carranza himself has not been mentioned That s the more remarkable since it the Carrizal incident that events moved steadily forward to the conference But the policy of letting "bygones be bygones' adopted Both sides have turned their backs upon the past and looking to the future of Mexico the which is a good deal like looking to the future position of the little coored glasses in the kaleidoscope.

Sweet is the destiny of all trades whether of the brows of the mind. God allowed any man to do nothing. How miserable is the condition of those which spend the time if it given them and not lent; if hours were waste creatures and such should be accounted for; if God would take this for good bill of reckoning: Item
