HARD TO DESCRIBE STYLE
Matter Is Exceedingly Difficult to De-
fine, Chiefly Because 1t Is So
Intangible.

What makes woman stylish? Ap-
piled to dress, style is a curiously elu-
sive quality, either to define or to ac-
quire, says writer in Good Health.
"a stylish garment" we say, of one
made in the fashion of the day. But
when we ask, What is the style OF the
garment" we are inquiring for a de-
scription that may be of this years
style, or last years, or of the last cen
tury's. A dress may be "in style" so
far as it's material, cut and trimming
go, and yet not look stylish when
worn, either because it is worn by the
wrong person or in the wrong way.
ga stylish woman" we say, of one
dressed la mode, and yet in the next
breath we describe another woman as
good STYLE" although she is not wear
ing the latest fabrics or newest cut,
and often is not herself beautiful.
Style is not a simple quality, but
compound one. 1--WE say STYLE" says
an old writer, "of anything in which
form or matter is conceived to be, in
however slight degree, expressive of
taste and sentiment" And it is taste
and sentiment more than specific
mode that go to the making of style in
dress-that intangible something so
hard to define, so seldom acquired and
so much desired because it is so wide
ly admired.
The French word chic expresses, as
Americans and English use it today,
good deal of what we have in mind
when we say stylish" 1t implies a
certain knack in the selection and
manner of wearing clothes. The
meaning in French includes the idea
of subtlety and finesse, and it is these
qualities more than the epatant (strik-
ing) effect that are suggested by the
best-dressed women, and are so often
lacking in the appearance of expen-
sively dressed Americans.

Some officious political manipu-
lators are still trying to create a
Hughes boom for the Presidency,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Hughes has
repeatedly declared hs would not
be a candidate. His idea is that
man holding a position on the
Supreme bench should forever
keep out of partisan politics, and
it will be a good scheme if the

When the plain letter of the
law states that a county officer
cannot legally have any financial
dealings with the county, and
any claim, demand or warrant is
illegal and void, the action Of
Judge Sapp in unloading his law
library on the county shows him
up in his true light. If he did it
ignorantly it proves his lack of
legal knowledge which should
disqualify him from holding such
a responsible position. If he
knew the law, and took advan-
tage of the ignorance of the su-
pervisors, or conspired with them
to put over a deal on the tax
payers for his personal profit, he
has forfeited the confidence and
respect of all good citizens, and
it is such a grave reflection on
his honesty and integrity that he
should no longer be permitted to
preside over the court of Navajo
county. Integrity of the courts
is the bulwark of the state, and
this end is obtained when no
taint of suspicion attaches to the
ermine. 1t is this sentiment that
demands the recall of Judge Sapp
at this time.

The editor of the Holbrook
News, who has taken the con-
tract to defend the rotten gang
that is running the county with
out any regard to law or decen-
cy, insists in his last issue that
the Winslow Mail make good on
the recall, and in a yelled threat
admonishes us to be careful not
to start anything we can't finish.
Mr.. BraXton is evidently not very
we'll acquainted with the writer,
or else forgets we are of Irish
ancestry. The success of a re-
call depends entirely whether the
people circulating the petitions
secure the proper number Of sig
natures, a matter that is beyond
the power of any Individual to
enforce. The suit against the
board of supervisors and their
bondsmen for the recovery of
the $1,000 illegally allowed on a
demand from Judge Sidney Sapp
will be instituted in due season,
and much to the discomfort of
the News man he will learn that
we will finish everything we
start so far as lies in our power.
What the result of a recall will
be is for the voters to decide,
and the result of the suit to re-
cover is for the courts to decide.
The statute of limitations will
not be allowed to run against Ell
ther, as the law staff of the Win
slow Mail does not include Judge
Sapp nor the county attorney.

A destitute family of six peo-

gout from high living from such
bounteous bequests it will be g
miracle. We can buy libraries

President Wilson's appoint
ment of Louis D, Brandeis for
Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court is meeting violent opposi-
tion in the Senate from members
of all political parties. Brandeis
is charged with entertaining So
cislistic doctrines, not in har-
mony with the conservative spir-
it of the Court. At this time it
looks as though the Senate would
refuse to confirm the nomination.

1t was a great grand jury in
vestigation. Speaking more cor
rectly it was a county attorney
investigation, and he was ever
present to see that the grand
jury followed his directions. A
grand jury is not supposed to
take orders from the county at
torney, but it is one of their
functions to give him orders, and
he has no business in the grand
jury room during their delibera-
tions. The jury can call him in
for advice, or to examine a wit
ness if requested, and there his
duty ends, and he should not be
present when the jury is deliber-
ating the return of indictments,
or make the least effort to influ-
ence their decisions. There is a
good reason for this provision of
the law. AS county attorney it
is his duty to advise the grand
jury when called upon, or exam
inc an unwilling witness, but his
continuous presence, and volun-
teered suggestions are not condu-
Give to freedom of action on the
part of the jury. The county at
torney does not give his time ex-
clusiveIy to the county, but can
practice his profession in any
civil suit where the county is not
party. This makes him the
legal representative of many in
dividuals, and it might be possi-
BILE that one or more of these in
dividuals might be subjected to
grand jury.investigation, Coun-
ty attorneys are only human, and
it is fair to presume they would
not be over-zealous to have one
of their civil clients indicted if a
word or suggestion could prevent
it. 1t is for this reason grand
juries are given power to keep
even a county attorney out
of their deliberations. and this
information should have been i'm
parted by the superior Judge in
his charge to the jury. 1t is the
opinion of the editor that ma
jority of the recent grand jury
entertained the idea that the
county attorney was as much en-
titled to be present and partici-
pate in their deliberation as any
member of the jury.

There will have to be a change
either in the law regulating the
time for holding city primaries
or in the time for opening the
county register for voters. The
date for opening the county
register is May Is, and the date
for city primaries always falls in
the month of March. Unless
there is a ruling that voters can
participate in primary elections
without registering, many legal
voters are deprived of the privi-
lege of participating every year.
The law should be amended per-
mitting the city clerk to accept
registrations at any time and
make his returns to the county
registrar, and thus protect the
rights Of the people.

If the democratic newspapers
of this state don't quit nominal
ing republicans for state Offices,
and denying other republicans
the privilege of being a candi-
date, it will be necessary to get
out an injunction to restrain their
activity. Their excuse probably
will be that the democsatic ticket
is already prepared by the coterie
of democratic bosses, and they
have nothing else to do.

FAMILIAR YET HALF FORGOTTEN

You've read the Declaration of Independence,
of course, but how about re-reading it now?
Following is the introduction to the list of griev
ances, or rather, we should say, here is the
statement of principles:
when in the course of human events it be-
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another and to assume, among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature and of natures God
entitle them, decent respect TO the opinions
Of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
I'VE hold these truths to be selfevident-
that all are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
alenable rights; that among these are life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to
secure these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent Of the governed"
Refresh your memory of the preamble of
the Constitution, which is as follows:
I'VE, the people of the United States in or
der to form a more perfect union. establish
Justice insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote the general well
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity do ordain and estab-
lsh this Constitution for the United States of
America"

GERMANY AFTER THE WAR
To the Editor Of Epenin0 Ledqer:


Sir-Your editorial entitled 'Verdun and
Victory" tells the story. Ever since the begin
ming of the war the persons representing
the German Government have been trying to
impress upon the minds Of the lower classes
that the war was for the purpose OF Germany
maintaining her mercantile prestige, and that
they were fighting for their wives and families
against a ruthless invader The nobility
aristoeracy and wealthy classes of Germany
want to retain their power over the lower classes
indefinitely If they had told the people that
the war was for the purpose of maintaining the
dynasty Of the Hohenzollerns It would have
been more truthful How long will 1t be before
ths American Germans will realize this fact?
Are they so imbued with love for the Hohen
zollerns that they have lost their sense and judg
nent? You would think to hear them talk
They cannot but realize that Germany by her
acts of barbarity, such the sinking OF the
Insitania, employment of asphyxiatng gas In
the trenches, undersea craft, Zeppelin warfare
on women and children, the murder OF the nurse
