The Amerieanism of Judge Kibbey

There are several elements of strength in Judge kibbey One is the consciousness the people of Ar- zona have of his superior ability and his unyeldng integrity his sodity of learning and character Such man would most credtably represent Arizona in the United States He would at once take his rank with the foremost and quickly dspel the eastern notion that Arizona is wild woody and frothy
 But peculiar element of his strength is his stern Amereanism which especially appeals to the people of Arizona would appeal to people of all the states along the border who have suffered so much of humiliation. if material loss from the lack Of Amercanism in the administration
 lt is predicted that Judge Kbbey will carry cochise county. despite the fact it has large normal democratic majority very large number of the voters of Cochise former Texans but the average Texan is American first and a democrat afterward We think this is largely of the voters of an the states. But now nothing had occurred to provoke their Americanism the surface We all assumed that we had it. That is was an underlying principle There had been no test to see whether it was there. But there has been test It has been iound wanting in the president and supporters It is not found in the ultra -pacifist It is not found among those with whom the president has surrounded himself Many democrats torn between their loyalty Co party and their nborn Americansm are shame oedy apologizng for the administration and pretend Ing Co discover Americanism even there in spite of the Tact, that such man Secretary of War Baker dlsciains any portion of it, when he compares the soldiers Of Washington Valley Forge with the foeoing murderng bands of Carranza The secretary could not bring the up to the level of the heroes of Valley Forge, therefore he sought to drag the latter down to the ieye of the Carrancstas Wash "stons soldiers too Baker declared robbed churches ana prVate houses in their flight This was the last 'oleh "i un-Americanism. administered by the man "h' fresident Wilson has put in charge of the gov eTnment's policy.

other minor ruins. but nearly all the material found in this canyon came from Gourd and Limestone Terrace House In Gourd House, which is real ly in Bohanto, a side canyon Of Nltsle, many excellent specimens of textiles, baskets and sandals were found, While in the ruins of Limestone Terrace House chiefly pottery and implements of trade were brought to light.
 When Nitsie Canyon was thoroughly explored the expedition moved on to Hidden Valley and Fortress House, which is about fifteen miles from Kayenta, but nothing of interest was found at either of the places. Fortress House was of interest, as it was most probably used for a fort in olden times. It is situated on the top of a i fairly high hill which is practically i inaccessible on two sides On the i other two sides a stone wall about five i feet high pierced with loopholes guards the fort from attack.
 The archaeological materials ob- | tained from Nitsie Canyon was freight ed to Flagstaff, from which place il 1 was sent to kai Pito, a Navajo trad ing post, which handles nearly all tho Indian blankets of the northern part oi the state.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Personal Liberty

To tie Editor of The Republican.
 Sir Liberty, they cry, when they mean license said John Milton.
 Has the government q right to in terfere with mans personal habit of drinking?
 The unusual answer to this question is that everyone has a right 10 do as he pleases so long as he does not in- terfere with the rights of others. Conceding this to be right for argu- ments sake the question narrows it. self down to this Is it right to for hid some men to drink moderately be ause others drink immoderately ?
 The only rational answer is that if there is no other remedy for the evils of immoderate drinking but complete prohibition, then there should be com picte prohibition, even though some men must give up a much cherished privilege. The public welfare must come first. There is no escape from this conclusion. The editor of the American Brewers Review admits this when he says;
 The so-called personal liberty ar gument in behalf of alcohol drink loses more and more of its force Consideration of the public welfare . continues to grow and oyershadoW l tie rights of the individual. The drink question must he fought out upon ultimate foundation Of morals hygiene and social order - in other words. the public welfare. If tho public welfare requires the suppress sion of the alcoholic drink traffic, i should be suppressed"
 The question is more than problem of private privilege. Drink ing. whether moderate or immoder ate. involves public welfare.
