The Democratic National Commit
tee says the democratic party brought
prosperity. That is the politicians
view, based on self-interest. A we'll
known writer in the latest issue of
the Economic World says that "the
great total of domestic trade and in
dustry, exclusive of the commodities
and materials which in raw or manu-
featured shape are going abroad for
the uses of armies or non-combatants,
is not indirectly, but directly connect
ed with the continuance of the war.
1t is the effect of the stimulus which
the war has communicated to domes-
tic enterprise in all branches through
the effect on the domestic price level
of foreign buying which derives its
prevailing character from the infia-
tionary operations of war finance
plus the imperative urgency of war
time requirements" But there are
some few people who will credit the
assertion Of the Democratic commit
tee that it was the Democratic party
and not the war that brought a
measure of prosperity to some Sec
tons of the United States.

THE PRESS MUST BE FREE

The provision in the postoffice app
preparation bill which would give the
Postmaster General arbitrary powers
over the welfare Of the press should
be stricken out. To enable an APP

nation affecting injuriously or the re-

fishers would be to set up a cenor-
ship peculiarly liable to abuse.
Representative Madden of Illinois
who is member of the House post

terviewer that the provision as orig.
inally conceived was intended to save
three million dollars annually by spe.

Vreeland provision as the height Of

mind about all this, however, and the
editor of the Wall Street Journal was

Democratic banking and currency

The Vreeland bill, that was described

The seaman's law remains on the
statute book unchanged, even though
it has already driven the American
flag from the Pacific ocean. Then the
Democrats put on the statute books
law permitting any old tub that
fioated the sea to come under Amer
lean registry and the American flag.
To accomplish this, they waived in
spection laws, admitted foreign ships
that could not pass the inspection,
and gave them privileges denied to
American vessels. They permitted
foreign officers to command these
ships, even though at the time hun
dreds of American marines remained
idle in our coast cities. Now the De-
mocratic shipping bill will do its mite
toward discouraging any fundament-
ally sound recreation of the Amer
lean marine.

President Wilson's statement in hi

President Wilson's statement in his
address before the Peace League, that
1--WE have ourselves upon occasion in
the past been offenders against the
law Of diplomacy" is looked upon as a
reference to the American part in
setting up Panama as State indie
pendent of Columbia, in order to
make possible the Panama Canal. If
an inter-oceanic canal had ever been
started in the present administration,
presidential change of mind would
have made it so crooked that a boat
entered at Colon would come out
three miles north Of that town and
five miles out to sea, and the skipper
would be found dead-on the bridge
Of vertigo.

The proprietor of a hat store in
New York City was recently fined $25
under the city's advertising ordinance
for Misrepresentation of advertising
facts, because he represented hat
to be genuine Panama when it was,
in fact, 'but an imitation Panama,
one of the sort imported in great
quantities from Japan" If the Re-
publican rate of duty on straw hats
had been in effect the temptation to
import hats from Japan and to mis-
represent them would not have been
so great. Thus we see that, after all,
the tariff has marked effect on the
morals Of the country.

Louisiana Democrats laud President
Wilson as "leader" in preparedness.
They seem to forget that the only
matter in which he has really led was
in placing sugar on the free list,
which the Democrats in Congress
very reluctantly agreed to do. 1t
took later act of Congress to retain
a one-cent per pound duty on that
important product of Louisiana. But
for the insistence of Woodrow Will
son, sugar would never have been
scheduled for the free list. Strange
how short some peoples memories
are.

Special Trains to Conclave

The first special train to the Knight
Templar Conclaye in Los Angeles
passed through Flagstaff last night
at 1890. 1t contained the Illinois
delegation. Three more trains fol-
lowed during the night and two more
are scheduled to go through tonight.
All the trains stop at the Grand Can
yon on the way to Los Angeles and
give the delegates an opportunity of
seeing the worlds greatest canyon.

1t is interesting to note, as the ed
itor of the Economic World remarks,
that the large increase in bank clear
ings since the war began in limited
to relatively small number of large
cities-and these the great financial
and speculative centers of "such as
have been directly touched by the de-
mand for war supplies" In the great
majority of cities, the clearings are
running very little ahead of 1913.

PRESCOTT IS PLANNING
BIG time JULY 4 TO 7
Especial to The Coconino Sun, by M.
G. Sparks).

VI. oparkSD.
During the Frontier Days celebra-
ton, which will be held in Prescott,
July 4-5-6-7, the Mile High City may
then be well termed the Convention
City of Arizona" for at that time no
less than five conventions will be
held. Already, the great number Of
reservations which have been made
for accommodations, points to the fact
that there will be a record breaking
crowd in attendance during the four
days celebration. It is roughly estim-
ated that these conventions will bring
in at least 1000 extra visitors.
Commencing on the LIST of July and
extending to the End, the Knights of
Columbus will start the ball rolling,
with drill team work, with at least
100 Knights attending. On the Bird
of July, the Yavapai County Cattle
Growers Association will meet, and
at noon on the Fourth, the special
excursion to be run to Prescott by
the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
will arrive. On July 5th, the grand
Frontier Days ceremonial of the
Knights of Pythias, will take place,
when Ell Yemamoh Temple, No. IS
will hold its famous Donkey celebra-
ton. On the 9th, will be the adj
journed meeting of the Republican
State Convention and it is expected
that no less than 235 delegates will
be present. While not properly
termed convention, during the
Frontier Days, reunion of the pub
lie school class of 1875 and 1876 will
be held.
Elaborate plans for the entertain
ment Of all visitors are well in hand,
and these cal flor unusual entertain
ment aside from the western sports
to be pulled off at the Frontier Days
grounds.
Cowboys are arriving in Prescott
daily from every center of the globe
and every citizen who is DESTROYS of
spending a few days of pure delight
should avail themselves of the low
excursion rates, which will be in eff
feet from all points, and attend the
Frontier Days celebration, in the
town where cowboy is still king.

That President Wilson will draft
the st. Louis platform is the word
passed about among Democrats. AS
a phrase-maker the President is at
his best. Judging by the way Demo-
Gratis have mutllated their platform
of 1912, these quadrennial Democratic
professions of principle need be
nothing more than an attractive col
lections of phrases. In this capacity
then the President can serve his party
well. Then the President has had
literary experience that comes to few
authors through the heavy demands
made on his pen notes to Germany.
Moreover, there is striking parallel
between notes to Germany and Demo-
cratic platforms. Both documents
must look, first upon inspection, to be
courageous declarations of principle
with ultimatums tackled on the end.
Then there must be "a second and
milder Interpretation, lowering in be-
tween the lines, available for use if it
becomes inexpedient to stand on the
first grounds. Finally, it must be
possible to surrender on every point
with honor and dignity, that is, grace
fully. Surely President Wilson's sue
cess with "strict accountability" notes
and similar. documents gives him
some considerable standing among
the phrase-makers ambitions to pen
that st. Louis platform.

WAR INCREASE INCOMES

Our war order prosperity has ere
ated another source of jubilation for
the Democratic administration. As
foretold by the Republicans some
time ago, huge exports of war NUM-
tons to Europe have so increased the
incomes of stockholders that a large
increase over the estimated revenues
from the income tax is looked for this
year The administration is using
this to becloud the tariff issue, and
not reference is made to the Under
wood tariff law as failure in collect
ing revenues at the ports. The income
tax will pay some $2O,000,000 more
than was estimated But the voters
of the country will not be fooled by
this state of affairs. The tariff tax is
paid by the foreigner The Demo
Gratis have given up their threadbare
argument that the protective tariff
affects the cost of living. The income
tax and the "war tax" are direct tax
es paid out Of the pockets of our own
people, and the increase over the
estimated sum, caused by the war, is
temporary in its nature. Should the
cessation of war find us still laboring
under a Democratic tariff law, COM
petition from abroad would diminish
incomes that the income tax collec-
tons would fall far short of any
estimate heretofore made by the pro-
ponents of the tax. In addition to
this, the huge percentage of duty-free
goods would still further reduce the
revenues. That is exactly what was
happening before the war broke out
The man who permits the Democratic
party to use this war-order prosperity
to fool him, is indeed blind to his
own interests.
