Mesa News Notes
POLITICAL PUT
 BEGINS BUBBL|NG

As is usual about this time of year the city offices are seeking the can didates and number of our citi- Zens have volunteered sto assume the worries of official life. A good many have filed their petitions with the city clerk, for the primaries to be held on April 20th. The members of the present city council are willing to serve another term, and rumor has it that there are some other good citizens to be brought ont on an opposition ticket. These latter as is also the case from now. on with any special procedure necessary to get their names on the ticket as the time for filing petitions has. closed. \
 The public does not seem to be greatly agitated over either the pros pect of keeping the present council or getting a new one. It is consid- cred that the men now serving are good men and since it is equally
 true of the possible candidates, the people generally are not bothered. However, it is likely that mass meet ings will be held to discuss the var ious issues and those who enjoy a warm time politically may have the opportunity afforded them within the next three weeks.
 Thos. Peyton, present city marshal, is out for that office and Chas B. Sabin is also desirous of the job, while for city clerk, candidates are as numerous as American aeroplanes over in Mexico. A. w. Rabbit, pres- ent deputy clerk, c. L. Deihl and The Senior B. Y. P. l.. meets at 6:30.

Parker, Mr. Roosevelt's friend and host,
was boosted for governor on the
strength of it.
So far as the lower south is concerned
the republicans have now their cue. That
section will vote in November as Louis
lana did yesterday. 1t is not going to
break away from Mr.. Wilson on any

more power there than that of any
straight republican. No breach can be

tency for his place and his task And
yet there are politicians figuring on Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination at Chicago with
the aid of southern votes!

The Capture of Trebizond.

When the Russians captured Erzerum
about two months ago and the Turks
retreated westward the next objective
of the czar's forces was Trebizond, on
the Black sea- The Turks made a stand
there and conducted a vigorous defense.
port across the Black sea, thus avoiding
the arduous route through Transcauca-
sia. So stubborn was the Turkish re-
sistance that confidence was apparently
restored in Constantinople that the
Russian advance had been checked. 1t
is now announced, however, that Trebi-
zond has been taken after a united at
tack from land and sea. This conquest
is of importance from military point
of view, as it gives the Russians port
on the southern shore of the Black sea
from which to conduct naval operations
westward in the direction of CONSTANT
rople It compeis retreat of the Turk
;sh forces for a considerable distance In
order to find shelter from the advanc-
ing Russian line. which now spreads
southward through Armenia, west of
Bitlis in the general direction of Bag
dad. Further Russian advances are to
be expected The Black sea coast is
cut by numerous rivers flowing from
the mountain range which skirts the
shore. though there are practicable
routes for the transport of the army,
which will probably keep within range
of the sea to obtain the benefit of water
borne supplies. Trebizond is about 900
miles from Constantinople along the sea
coast. but the menace to the Turkish
capital which the capture of 1reblzond
involves is not to be measured strictly
in terms of distance The fact that a
stronghold which was believed to offer
as stout a resistance to attack as Ere
rum has fallen is certain to weaken
Turkish confidence in the ability to stay
the Russian advance.

The Tariff at Chicago.

Those republicans who want their
President favor preparedness rather
than the tariff for paramount issue.
Naturally. They we'll understand that
Mr.. Roosevelt's tariff record. or lack of
one, would handicap him as candi
date i'll campaign with marked en-
phasis laid on the tariff While in the
White House he did not concern him
self with that subject, and all he offers
now is vague proposition about
scientific" tariff. and commission in
stead of Congress to put it into shape.
This is one of many reasons why the
republicans should not think of nomi-
mating Mr.. Roosevelt. They could not
if they would. and the great majority
would not if they could. subordinate the
tariff this year 1t fills too large a
space. 1t applies too directly to the
whole situation Turn in any direction
and take up any issue, and, 10. the tariff
is there.
Preparedness particularly is socketed
in the tariff. An adequate national de-
fense means large appropriations for
number of years. and that means a skill
full devisement for raising the money.
The wherewithal must be provided, and
kept on hand for prompt payment of
10 hTS
on tick
And in the raising of money for this
and other purposes consideration should
be given to the policy which has wrought
great good in this country, and was
never more necessary than now. Amer
lea first is everybodys cry. Protect and
build up the country in every way is
the general demand. If we are to sup
ply larger foreign markets we must
arrange for large domestic output, and
that output must be based on American
wage scales as well as on dividends for
capital invested. Dollars and cents can
not be banished from the everyday in
fluences that rule the world.
At one time New England was the
seat of the strongest protection senti
ment, and the leading influence toward
the enactment of protection legislation.
But that legislation. long continued. has
spread that sentiment to other sections,
until now it is voiced in the northwest,
the near west. the far west, the middle
country and even in the south, where
agriculture no longer monopolizes capi-
tai, but is forced to divide with manu-
featuring. When Chairman Harding in
his keynote speech addresses the Chi
cago convention his reference to the
tariff, which, of course, will be on pro-
lection lines, cannot fail to elicit the
heartiest applause.

An Open Convention.

There are assurances from those quail
tion-the republican convention-will
be an open one. That is to say. the
delegates will not face cut t-and dried
program, prepared in a corner some
where under machine orders and influ-
enees, but will find themselves in a real
conference for the good of the party.
Out of this should issue candidate and
a platform meeting the requirements of
the time.
The republican leaders are not united
in appraisements of the situation. Some
see a landslide coming their way. They
figure confidently on both President
and a Congress. AS they believe, the
drift is so strongly republicanward, the
Senate, with its sixteen democratic ma
jority, will be included in the spoils OF
victory
Others are not so cocky. They see
a vigorous tussle ahead. While expect
ing success, they believe that it will
have to be fought for with all the
power the party can command and all
the unity that can be effected. They
are not counting ON any Bryan defee-
tion from the democracy because of
preparedness or anything else. They
have no idea that Mr.. Bryan will either
bolt or sulk.
Take either of these views and the
fact remains that the republicans should
nominate their very strongest man for
President. Ii landslide is on the way
it will express profound disapproval of
the whole democratic record, and to the
victors will fall the necessity of over
hauling everything, foreign and do
mestie. to which the democracy in of
fee has set its hand And the huge size
of that order can be seen at glance.
If the margin of success is narrow
the presidency, the House by small
majority, with the Senate remaining un-
der democratic cOntrol-the republican
difficulty will in that case be great. A
mandate will have been received, and
an attempt must be made to execute it.
Compromises will, of course. be neces-
sary: and compromises in large legis-
lation. with party professions and rec
ords to be weighed in the conferences,
are not easily made.
The man who sits in the White House
from March 4. 1917, to March 4, 1921,
will have his hands full. and should
know how to use his hands. 1t will be
no place for novice or temporizer.

sumption of his own infallibility.

Uncle Sans Bad Real Estate Policy.

In the matter of the ground owned
by the government, having been ac-
quired for public building purposes, the
actual figures show that the delay in
utilizing it involves a most unbusiness-
like loss. From the so-called five square
site at the western end Of the Mall
Avenue triangle, fronting on the White
lot and Pennsylvania avenue, the gov
ernnIent obtained from January l to De-
cember 81, 1915, the sum of $49, ,541. 40 in
rents. 1t was originally proposed to
erect on these five squares three gov
ernment buildings, to accommodate the
Departments of State, Justice and Com
merce. Afterward it was discovered
that the site was entirely too small for
three structures, and it has since been
proposed to put the Department Of State
on the Mall itself, against which objec-
tions have been entered. The govern
ment is now paying for rented quarters
for the Department of Commerce $685.
500 a year, or more than is obtained
from all of the land owned by the gov
eminent in the square area. In ad-
dition it is paying for the Department
of Justice proper $4,000 year, with
$1,000 additional for the customs court,
making a total of $43, 1000, or 500 800 for
the Departments Of Commerce and JUS
tice, which, according to the amended
plan, are to be erected on the FIVE
square site. Eliminating the customs
court, which may be rated as pertaining
to the Treasury rather than the Depart
ment of Justice, the rentals for these two
departments run to $l02 500, or more
than twice as much as the government
gets in rent from the land pre-empted
for homes for them. Meanwhile the gov
| ernment is paying $2S,594 for various
rented quarters for the Department of
State, so that, excluding the customs
court, the government is paying $l31 ,094
for the three departments that it initial
ly designed to put in the site from

The South and the President.

Louisiana yesterday went democratic.
Ordinarily there would be nothing of
particular interest in the announcement.
1t would be equivalent to an announce
ment that the Dutch had carried Ho!-
land. But this was not an ordinary oc-
casion. A campaign on new lines was
waged, and the stir was such there were
those who expected and predicted demo
cratic defeat.
Local issues entered somewhat into
the contest, but the two issues which
gave it consequence outside the state
related to sugar and bull moosery. The
sugar planters and their business asso-
eiates were appealed to in behalf of pro-
lection on their product as opposed to
the national administrations policy of
free trade, while the few republican
voters we're asked to support a candi-
date for governor recommended by Mr.
Roosevelt and whose election would be
hailed as a break in the lower solid
south indicative of other breaks in No
vember in case of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomi-
nation for President by the republicans
at Chicago.
The appeal failed, as The Star pre-
dicted it would. As usual, the demo-
cratic label won. There was not enough
in the protest against free sugar to rally
democrats in numbers against their
party, and not enough in Mr.. Roose-
velt's wise to enthuse the republicans
in behalf of the bull moose guberna-
toriaI candidate.
The bull moose feature of the cam
paign had been carefully prepared. Mr..
Roosevelt paid visit to the state last
winter, and was the guest of the man
then being groomed for the leadership
of the opposition to the democracy.
Purely social. No politics. So help
him. And, to support the amiable fc-
tion, Mr.. Roosevelt looked into birds
nests, and Upon returning home wrote a
magazine article on the feathered tribes
Of Louisiana.
Nevertheless, 90 ruthless is the game

Beyond Belief.

There was q wicked bandit
Whose reputation sad
Caused numerous reflections
In language mostly bad.
He often made promise
Our feelings to relieve.
And everything he did or said
Was framed up to deceive.
If he should give a party
An ambush it would prove:
His words of genial import
Concealed some treacherous move.
When he announced his funeral
And said he'd had enough.
We viewed the obsequies with scorn
And vowed they were a bluff.

which it is now getting rent at the rate
Of $49,541 year. In other words, it is
paying out more than two and a half
times as much rent as it is getting from
its own land. This is surely not good
