Eb. Taylor came near losing his life
in an accident at the Suger factory
Saturday. There was some trouble
with the worm which operates the
Steffens slime mixer. 1t was not
working well and Mr.. Taylor got un-
der to fix 1t. In doing so his clothing
caught in the sprocket wheel and he
was whirled around the shaft several
times and would have been killed but
for the fact that his clothing was torn
off his body and threw him loose from
his perilous position
AS it was he received two broken
ribs and was considerably bruised up.
After being taken home in an auto
the doctor made thorough examin-
alton and said there was no danger
of serious results, unless il was from
typhoid fever from which he is now
threatened.

Though the ownership of an auto
mobile is often mistaken for a sign

The Departing Deutschland

Goodbye, or rather. au revoir to the
Deutschland. May she come and go
often and safely. He is a particularly
bitter partisan who should wish any
harm to come to this little undersea
merchantmen, whose officers and crew
hold their lives in their hands every
mile and minute Of the long journey.
The Deutschland, undisturbed by foes
or elements, would perhaps, not cut a
great figure in the commerce between
Germany and America. She would be
only negligible interference with the
British blockade. A whole fleet of
such submarine merchantmen would
not be much more Of an interference
She is a sentiment, rather than a com
merce carrier It Is because she is a
Arizona republican., 1916-08-04

Great Britain has not lost it. Tests of
this assertion are easy to apply. Has
the grip Of the British blockade relaxed
since May 312 Has 1t not on the con-
trary frightened?
THE Germans themselves will adj
nit the increasing difficulty of import
ing raw materials and food stuffs and
exporting their manufactures; hence
the violence of their invectives against
Great Britain"
Mr. Balfour argues that if they had
felt themselves on the way to maritime
equality, the Germans would not have
so loudly advertised the Deutschland
incident, the whole interest of which
in German eyes, was to prove their
ability to elude the barrier raised by
the British fleet between them and the
outer world. AS further proof Of the
impotence" of the German fleet, Mr..
| Balfour points to the ever-increasing
| flow of men and munitions from Eng
! land pouring across the channel to
| France.
1T has reached colossal proportions, -
| he continues, "its effect on the war
| may well be decisive. Yet never has
it been more secure from attack by en-
envy battleships or cruisers than it has
ever since the German victory of
| Jutland"
The first lord refers to German ex-
| portations to look at the map and see
the extent of German successes, and
adds:
That depends on what maps you
take. Even the map of Europe shows
an ever shrinking battle line. But look
at the map of the world. All of Ger
| many's colonies are gone except East
Africa, which, even as ! write, seems
slipping from her grasp. Has the bat
tie Of Jutland opened the smallest
prospect of Germany regaining these
colonies or giving a moments respite
| to the hard pressed colonies in German
East African"
Mr.. Balfour advised those requiring
further proofs of the value the Ger
mans attach to their victorious fleet
to study the German policy of subma
rine warfare and says:
1.-THE advantage of submarine at.
tacks on commerce is that they canno
be controlled by superior fleet power
In the same way as attacks by cruis
ers; disadvantage is that they canno
be carried out on large scale consis
tently with the laws of war or the re
quirements of humanity They make
therefore, a double appeal to German
military heads
The freedom of the sea means t
Germany that the German navy is t.

enemy civilians nor neutrals may pos
sess relief against their ships.

sentiment, that Germans and neutrals
hope she will survive. 1t is because
she is a sentiment that the allies. per-
haps. would rather capture or destroy
her than to sink a German dread
naught.
We observe, in the London comment
on her homeward sailing, that an Of
ficer of the British admiralty stated
that Great Britain is determined not
to recognize the boat as an ordinary
merchantmen" That, Of course, means
that she would be recognized only as
a warship, and would be sunk without
warning and without giving the Of
Ulcers and crew a chance for their
lives But this government has already
recognized the Deutschland as a
peaceful merchantmen, so that if the
British government should have OPP
portunity to carry out it's determine
ton to sink her without warning, there
would be brought about precisely such
a conflict as was precipitated between
Germany and this country by the sub
marine methods of the former.
We have sometimes suspected that
the Deutschland was sent across the
Atlantic, carrying a bone of conten-
ton, rather than a cargo of drugs and
dye stuffs. If such a thing should
happen to the Deutschland as in
threatened by London; or even, if
Great Britain should officially declare
that it would not accept the American
recognition of the character of the
vessel, we would be drawn into a
controversy with Great Britain, in
which we would be forced to insist
| upon our stand, even to the point of
breaking or else we would have to
abandon our position against Ger
many's submarine methods, with re-
spect to merchantmen. There would
be left us no room for clubbing. We
would either have to say that we made
a mistake in our recognition of the
Deutschland, or we would have to deal
with Great Britain, not in mere lam
guage, precisely as we have dealt with
Germany. Our administration would
almost certainly not do that, and then
we would be estopped from protesting
against resumption, by Germany, OF
/ its submarine methods.

The Execution Of Easement

All the world will regret the manner
of the taking off of that knightly
gentleman, Sir Roger Easement. No
doubt, his executioners regret it, and
that the British government itself
would have desired to find a way out
of it. There must have been in mind
the distinguished service of the late
knight, for humanity, in the Belgian
Congo and in Brazil.
The government must have realized.
too, that the execution would add to
the difficulties of the Irish problem.
and that it would widen the chasm
which, for quarter of a century, had
been gradually closing
But whatever our admiration for the
character of Easement, his love for
Ireland, his high courage. we must
have in mind the English law against
treason which was never more flag
rantly violated To have granted a
request for a lesser punishment than
the court had imposed, would have
been a weakness in which the British
government could not afford, at this
time of all times, to indulge.
There will not, we believe, attach to
the memory of Easement. that obloquy
which usually attends death for trea-
son. There was no selfishness in his
designs against Great Britain. His
was a movement less against Great
Britain than for Ireland, to which he
believed rightly or wrongly. he owed
to be considered also the British point
Of view.

In his recent speech on Prosperity
and the Future" Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo said: I'm the face
OF the greatest prosperity ever known
in the history Of the iron and steel in
dustry - prosperity brought about
under the democratic tariff law en-
acted in l913-and with the Golfers Of
every iron and steel industry in the
country overlooking with plenty, etc"
Thus the democratic party assumes
responsibility for the war and fully
exonerates the kaiser, who has rested
under dark suspicion for the last two
years. This is refreshing frankness;
the worst thing ever uttered against
the democratic tariff law.

A Meritorious Amendment

p Meritorious Amendment
Among the submitted measures
which should be adopted by the people,
is the referred amendment to the con-
stitution. providing that all measures
so submitted should be adopted only
by a majority OF all the votes cast at
the election. At present a mere ma
jority of the votes cast on a measure
is sufficient for it's adoption. 1t is
argued against this amendment that
inasmuch as no measure ever submit
ted, the people of Arizona has ever re-
ceived a majority of all the votes cast
at such an election, it is probable that
such a majority will never be given,
and that therefore the right of legis-
lation, which the people have reserved
TO themselves, will be taken away from
them. That is absurd on it's face. The
right Of the majority to rule is not dis
turbed at all. If the majority of the
voters do not choose to exercise the
right. nobody is to blame but the ma
jority.
The voters go to the polls to vote
for candidates for office; they have
an opportunity to express themselves
with reference to all submitted
measures. If they do not do so, that
is pretty conclusive evidence that they
do not want those measures adopted.
AS 10 the majority, there is no crying
need of them.
Probably SO Of every 100 initiated
measures that have been adopted in
the states where popular rule obtains,
have been adopted by minorities, and
In many cases by very small minori-
ties. In our state and, we believe, in
all states that have popular rule, a
measure may be adopted by single
voter. provided nobody votes against
It. Thus we would have embodied in
our laws. the will Of single Individual
and that would be ridiculous. as well
as dangerous.
There is selfishness or private in
terest behind most initiated legisla-
ton, but. Of course, not all of it. The
people who propose it know why they
want 1t, but the outsiders do not know
The purpose of it is often deftly con-
cealed with intent to deceive the ma
jority. so that the majority will not
vote against It.
A very safe rule purposed by the
Republican, we believe for the first
time two years ago and since adopted
by many writer's on the subject Of the
initiative and the referendum, is for
voters to vote on every measure pre-
scented. and II the voters do not under
stand it fully, they should vote mo
They are then running no risk; they
are leaving things as they found them.
II voters would follow this safe rule,
there would be no need Of such an
amendment as is proposed. But the
voters have never followed that rule
so that it is proposed to give effect tC
il otherwise, by declaring that a law
shall not be enacted by a minority
which knows what it is about, to gov
ern a majority, whose suspicion ha:
not been aroused.
If there is urgent need Of any legis-
lation which we cannot secure through
the legislature the need will be 81
manifest that the majority will hav,
that legislation. We always have
that direct power. The amendment
does not propose to take this powe
away from us or abridge it in tn
slightest degree. 1t proposes only t.
prevent the abuse of it by the minor
ity.
