The Dispute on the Sea

The British and German naval re-
views of the year printed yesterday
morning appear to be a waste of
words 1t is such an inquest as fire.
quently takes place during the progress
of a prize fight or a baseball game. 1t
is a whistling to keep up courage. The
year has proved very little on the sea.
The battle of Skagerack confirmed
what the Germans had demonstrated
in the battle off the Chilean coast that
they could fight on the sea as well as
on the land. 1t cannot be said though
that the battle of Skagcrack resulted
in a victory for either side. The Ger
mans made better showing than was
expected, and the British a rather
worse one with superior force and
with national traditions of the sea.
But it was far from victory for
the German ships. Nor can the Brit
ish successfully claim that il was a de-
tired to their base. According to the
British contention the result of a Ger
man victory should have been German
mastery Of the sea.
That could be the result only of
naval warfare fought to a finish. A
single naval battle need be no more
decisive of naval supremacy than a
single land battle is decisive of cam
paign or a war On this theory the
battle of Mons or the result of the
Dardanelles campaign. or the victories
of Won Hindenburg over the Russians
would have settled the whole war. On
this theory the fact that the German
armies at the end of two years are not
only fighting everywhere on foreign
soil but are actually administering
vast territories Of the enemy would be
accepted as proof that the allies had
been conquered.
Great Britain is yet supreme on the
sea and that supremacy will be main
tanned until in another naval battle or
a series of naval battles her power has
been destroyed or rsruced to point
where the Germans may strike final
blow for supremacy. On the other
hand, the Germans may hope for ulti-
mate supremacy until their strength
| has been wasted or destroyed in an
other or series of naval battles. Each
nation might as we'll nave claimed at
the beginning of the war that it would
remain the undisputed mistress of the
supreme advantage over the other.

ment in Arizona is a far more impor-
tant matter than the well-being of any
democratic faction or even than the
we'll being of any political party.
They are aware that Arizona has not
had good government since it's ad-
mission to statehood. That it has not
is only in part the fault of Governor
Hunt. The faction opposed to him
has always been in control of one
branch or the other of the legislature
and there it has done nothing more
than the other faction in control of
another branch, to commend itself to
the people
The assumption by democrats of the
two factions that Mr.. Campbell will
be elected in the event of the defeat of
either of them at the democratic pri-
maries is an admission that Mr.. Camp
bell occupies a middle ground That is,
the friends OF the governor who charge
that Mr. Olney is the candidate Of
great corporations with sinister inter-
ests, concede that Mr.. Campbell is not
their representative and on that score,
is preferable to Mr.. Olney
On the other hand, the friends of Mr.
Olney, who charge that the governor
is the candidate of the red flaggers,"
the "dynamiters," the anarchists, ad
NIT that Mr.. Campbell who they say
is preferable to Governor Hunt. is not
a representative of that element.
Therefore, according to the testi-
mony of both the democratic factions
he is the representative of the great
mass of the people whose interests do
not lie with either of the obnoxious ele-
ments which are said by democrats of
both factions to exist. He must be the
representative of the people who are
concerned only in economical, efficient
government.

There is a pest of jackrabbits the
worst within the memory of the old
est settler along the desert south of
Chandler just on the edge of cultiVa-
ton, according to J. H. McBrayer,
of Mesa. They are laying waste
alfalfa fields and other cultivated
vegetation. They travel in droves,
accompanied by large contingents of
cottontails. Rabbit wire fence is no
protection to growing crops as one
ranchman learned His tract is en-
closed by a Well-known kind of wire
that is guaranteed to be rabbit tight
and it probably is. but it is not sky
high so that the rabbits sWarmed
over the top of it and devastated a
crop of milo maize
But this ranchman is bothered no
more. He resorted to a rather cruel
expedient but an effective one. He
caught one of the rabbits in a steel
trap and tied it to the top of the
fence. Its pitiful squeals like the
bleating of a young goat scared all
the rabbits within a radius of some
miles so that none has been seen in
that immediate vicinity since.
Farmers in that vicinity connect
| the plethora of jack rabbits with a
| phenomenon that was noticed last
/ spring, the departure of the coyotes
from that region without any appar-
ent cause. They had always been
| there in great numbers but after
awhile it was remarked by one settler
| that he had seen none lately; others
/ looked for months; not coyote has
been seen nor has the blood curdling
howl of one been heard.
Coyotes have left that part of the
desert before for short periods. driven
out by drouth. But last spring there
was no drauth.
The Indians used to keep the jack
rabbits pretty well thinned out by
their drives but of late years the In
dians have become too prosperous to
fool with rabbits. Their attention is
given to cattle and wheat and when
they have a little leisure they devote
it to their automobiles. Farmers in
that vicinity are now talking of or
ganizing a great rabbit drive

Democratic Testimony

Excluding all other evidence and ad-
hitting only democratic testimony we
believe that Arizona Is going to elect
a republican governor next fall. If one
talks with a group Of the friends Of
Governor Hunt, he will be told that if
the reactionaries should succeed in de-
feating the governor for denomination,
the election Of Thomas E. Campbell will
be certain. On the other hand, it will
group that if the "dynamiters" should
again prevail in the primaries, nothing
bell. 1t is certain that either Mr.. Oh
ney or Governor Hunt will be beaten at
the primaries, so on democratic testi-
mony, we may expect the election Of
Mr.. Campbell.
Each OF the democratic candidates
represents a faction Of the party that
is widely separated from the other fac
ton, and bitterly opposed to it. Many
excellent democrats whose interest lies
with neither Of these factions have
been attracted to one or the other of
them. There are many democrats who
are wise enough to see that their in
terests lie with neither faction and such
democrats are saying nothing but will
vote for Mr.. Campbell regardless OF
the result of the democratic primaries
To them 1t appears that good govern

The so-called Womans Party is
shortly to decide whether it will be-
come a third party in the present ma
tional campaign or whether it will sup
port one Of the two great parties. the
one which promises most the fulfill
ment of the desires of the suffragists-
national equal suffrage There is lit
tie or no difference between the plat
form promises of the two parties. but
Mr.. Hughes, the republican candidate
for the presidency spontaneously and
without equivocation has declared in
favor Of federal equal suffrage. He
was not asked to do so and it was not
generally expected that he would do so
in his speech of acceptance. To what
extent he has expressed the view of his
party on this question we do not know,
but we do know that he has expressed
the honest views of Charles Evans
Hughes. and that if he should be elect
ed president, an amendment to the
constitution of the United States for
federal equal suffrage would have his
earnest support.
Nr. Wilson claims and has claimed
ever since his election to be in favor
of votes for women but he has done
nothing to give them votes. He has
not only not supported the proposed
constitutional amendment but he has
positively discouraged it, taking the
stand Of southern congressman that
this is a matter that should be settled
state by state. There will be no feder-
al amendment submitted during this or
any other administration of Mr.. Will
son. II Mr. Wilson should be elected
again he would again stand with the
south which is solidly opposed to wom-
an suffrage.
It, therefore. appears that Mr..
Hughes is the zone best bet" for the
women who regard the suffrage ques-

would be strong reason for supporting
a candidate who had voluntarily
pledged himself in their favor. That
would be much more reasonable than
TO expect to attain that end through
a third party and much more reason
able than the policy announced by the
Congressional Union two years ago, of
working for the defeat of every mem
Der Of congress of the dominant party,
merely because his party would not
commit itself to federal suffrage.
We believe the Woman's Party will
decide in favor of Mr. Hughes; that il
will enlist the support generally OF
equal suffragists and that its influence
will be felt in the twelve northern and
western states where women have al
ready been elevated politically to the
level Of the lowest and most ignorant
and vicious male citizen In the south
ern states, Of course, where woman is
yet politically the inferior Of the negro
male citizen, the Woman's Party car
make 10 Roadway. In that part Of the
country woman can be emancipatet
only by federal amendment.
