on instructions from the departments to which they belong.
 We do not know to what extent. if any, this move of MT. Cleary has the approval of the governor and his other advisers. But if it has the approval of them at all they must be pretty badly scared as to the result of the primary to adopt a course that would split the party in two in the general campaign.
 MT. Cleary, by the way. has suc- ceeded in forcing nearly all the Cochise candidates for county nominations into Hunt clubs there and some effort has been made in other counties to swell the membership of such clubs by force. MT Cleary must be credited with some moderation in his demand upon the president and MT. Ashurst. Though he insists upon an abatement of the activities of the Arizona federal ap pointees in behalf of Mir Olney. he graciously refrains from demanding that they be compelled to join the Hunt clubs.

A Test for Legislators

We would urge upon the voters of state, a study of the following from Leslie's, before electing men to the legislature. Of course, we cannot now apply quite such test, but We can do the next best thing by electing only nearest to passing such a test if it were applicable:
 The interesting suggestion that can didates for the legislature be required to show their fitness by passing an eX animation is made. We establish schools for training men in every pro fession and business, but for the even more important work of solving the problems of all the people in the matter of new legislation, we ask only that a candidate shall be able to control enough votes to be elected. Why not enlarge the application of civil service to include candidates for our law making bodies? A knowledge of the elements of law and of the principles which underlie social and economic legislation would be required. A test of this sort would be no embarrass- ment to man of average knowledge of public affairs. but would tend to eliminate the unfit, and some of those, at least, who seek office only for what they can get out of 1t. This may be the next reform in the line Of progress and il is much more needed than some of those that are now enacted into law. What says Oregon. Washington or Kansas? Let the thinkink people rule

being the displacement of Ambassador Herrick to France. Of all our repre- sentatives in the belligerent countries MT Herrick attracted the most favor able attention. Within a month he had enlisted the admiration of his countrymen and the French govern ment by his delicate handling of the situation. To all this the administra- tion replied that MT. Herrick had re- signed voluntarily. Certainly he had done so. Ambassadors always resign when change of administration brings the opposition into power, but their resignations are not always immedi- ately accepted. Mir. Herrick's resigna- ton was not accepted immediately be- cause the claims of scrambling. de serving democrats" could not be inn mediately adjusted. But an adjust ment was secured in the early turmoil of the European war and William G. Sharp, of Ohio, of whom little was known before, and little has been heard since, was appointed.
 Also the administration, replying to the charge that it had supplanted an experienced and skillful diplomat by an inexperienced man at a critical juncture, foolishly observed that MT. Herrick, at the time of his appoint ment, had been without diplomatic ex- perience. But Mir Herrick had long been recognized as a statesman of na- wide prominence. Sharp was known only in democratic circles in Ohio a manufacturer of charcoal and pig iron, a county prosecuting attor- ney, a democratic presidential elector, a defeated nominee for congress, a delegate to a democratic national con- vention and finally. democratic mem Der of congress for part of two terms.
 Altogether we think that facts suf- ficient have been adduced by MT. Hughes for an indictment of the dem ocratic administration as a govern ment of politicians, by politicians for politicians.

DOES PROHIBITION PRoHIslr9
To the Editor of The RepubIicar

To the Editor of The Republican:
 It should be noticed that no law is a complete success except in the mat ter of forbidding an evil. The pri- mary meaning of the word prohibit is to forbid, the secondary meaning IS to prevent. prohibition law never fails to forbid. While by the nature of things. such a law in itself simply considered can't possibly prevent This is for the same reason that an axe does not chop or a gun shoot No law Is self enforcing. A law is noth- ing but an instrrrnent and "'h nn more enforce itself than an instru- ment like an ax will wield ltseil '.J s where we use the executive de- partment of government The pro- hibition law In Arizona has worked as well as any law directed against a criminal class. Prohibition always forbids murder. adultery, perjury and theft, w1ile it does not always pre- vent them Because of this shall we repeal the laws against these crimes
 Even if prohibition didn't prohibit, the blame would lie at the door of the makers and vendors of intoxicat- ing drink. These people are arraign- ed against the law. The way to deal with those who thus conspire to de- feat the ends of government is not to temporize nor compromise. but to throttle those who propose to throttle the law

Hard luck came in double doses for NJ. A. stark, the east Tempe baker this week, when after running into a telephone post night before last and smashing up a Ford and q load of pastries. fancy cakes and bread. old Dobbin yesterday afternoon took fright and spilled another perfectl- good load of pies, cakes and bread. Stark has had the Ford on the run less than a week and after expend- ing a goodly sum in fitting the boat up into real bakers wagon he add ed another pretty item of expense when he undertook to drive the car himself on Wednesday evening. Be- twixt pedestrians, carriage and autos he missed the road and drove headon into the telephone post that was stub born enough to stand its ground and smash up the auto a bit. Stark has joined the sick list too for a day or so. Yesterday afternoon the baker suffered another loss when the old horse and wagon engaged in an- other smash up down on Mile Ave. Bakers goods were scattered all ways and the kiddies had a regular feed for a time.

WASHINGTON IS
INTERESTED FOR
MEXICAN NOT {

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-
State department officials this after
noon refuse to comment on the state
ment given out at Mexico City lats
night purporting to be the text OF
recent note sent to the United States
by the de facto authorities, proposing
the creation of joint commission to
he charged with the settlement of bor-
der difficulties between the two coun-
tries. 1t was admitted, however, ir
official circles that the note had been
received in Washington, dated July
1lth. 1t was also learned authorita-
lively that the Mexico iCty text, though
substantially similar with the note
delivered at Washington, is not iden-
tical in its verbage.
Senior Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate here, say acting
Secretary of State Polk this morning
and the two held conference. Later
it was intimated by Mexican officials
here that statement regarding pro-
posed preliminary negotiations will
soon be made public. The general i'm
presison prevails here that tentative
agreement has been reached between
Senor Arredondo and Secretary Polk,
along the general lines of the Mexican
proposal.
There remains little doubt but that
the Washington government is willing
to agree to commission taking up
the settlement of existing questions,
provided reciprocal agreement for
the passage of troops across the border
after bandits and to investigate after
bandit raids is negotiated together
with the commission convention.
The exact situation as regards the
creation of the commission and the
withdrawal of American troops at this
time is not made clear in the text of
the Mexican note.
