DEMOCRATIC RALLY
 DREW BIG CROWD

The democra tic rally last Friday night drew big and enthusiastic crowd. The Sultana theatre was we'll filled with people who seemed to get great enjoyment out of these speeches. The points made were well received and enthusiastically applauded. Governor Hunt as first speaker made a good showing of accomplishments of his adminis- tration. The expense of govern ment in Arizona will compare favorably with that of government in other states. The state govern ment is doing more for the people than the territoral government was able to do but the per capita ex- pense is no more. Governor Hunt and his colaborers are holding Ari. zona in the forefront with respect to progressiveness and his account ing was accepted as reliable and satisfactory.
 Other state officers made brief speeches. The talk of Jesse Boyce, Williams own particular candidate was very we'll received, indeed. Jesse has a warm place in the hearts of Williams people as will appear when the November count is made.
 Carl Hayden, Arizona's congress- man, spoke briefly but quite to the point. He remarked the differences between the non partisan attitude of the national equal suffrage asso- citation and the very partisan pro republican attitude of the so-ealled
 woman's qarty.
 The speech of the evening, how ever, was made by Senator Henry Ashurst. Dunbar claims that
 Ashurst will be one of the big
 senators in his nextiJterm. His
 speech Friday night would make
 it appelr very probable. One Will , Hams man claims that Ashurst is a
 better speaker than the peerless Bryan. He is certainly in the . same class. Arizona has reason , to feel proud of her junior senator . and she will show her pride in him / by returning him to the senate.
 The last speaker was Hon. Wiley
 Jones, Arizona's attorney general Tho suffering from a cold and quite a under the weather. MT. Jones made
 a rattling good speech and brought the house down repeatedly. His
 reelection will scarcely be contested t The meeting was called togethe. ~ " by the Barnes Boys band whici = played several selections in iron of the theatre.
 The chairman of the meeting 4 was Col. w. M. Hughes who pre- ; sided with dignity and introduces o n the speakers-very appropriately.

 Obstacles In The Way
 Just what obstacles the Muni- cipality of Williams would have to overcome in carrying out a plan to get good water as sug- gested by the News would have to be determined late thru in- vestigation, but tie News pro- ceeds on the assumption that a community has right to natural resources above that of a private corporation and that private rights can be e3tinguished or equitable terms when '. public needs demand it.

HOW ID GET GOOD
 WATER FOR WILLIAMS

The quality of Williams water is responsible, no doubt, for the fact that a petition has been signed by a large number of Williams citizens asking that an election be called to vote on franchise for a company which proposes to bring water from the San Francisco mountains and sell it to Williams. This company might better the water which Williams is now obliged to use, but the News doubts ii 1t will, even if it gets the franchise. Granting that the company can get water of the quality promis- ed, the expense of delivering it to Williams will be enormous and the hope of deriving an in- come from the sale of water to justify the expense of installing the supply system is So poorly founded that the News believes Williams would better not be- come interested in the proposl- tion. To the News it looks like a proposition to involve our Town in a scheme to float securities that promoters may make a killing.
 A Better Way
 Go up Cataract Canyon to a point 300 feet above the Water and Electric Co.'S. dam and at this particular time you will find a small stream of clear, cold spring water flowing down the canyon quite different from the water one sees in the mudholes from which all Williams water is drawn. The News says mud holes not as a reflection on any one, but because mudheles the tanks must all be with mud bottoms and sides. The appear ance of the water is evidence that mud is carried in suspen- sion. Compare these reservoirs with those which hold the water supplied to Flagstaff and you will agree that the News is not in error in referring to Williams water as coming from mudholes. Flagstaff water as seen in tht reservoirs is clear. One can sec to the bottom tho the water i many feet deep.
 But to return to Cataract Can yon: The stream which one see at this time will not be running during dry weather but there i good reason to believe that ther is an under-flow percolating thr1 the bed of the canyon whicl might be intercepted and pipet to a reservoir below and whic would compare favorably witt the water which makes Fla gsta famous. To this constant under flow could be added such part c the annnal surface flow provic ed by snow and rain as might | desirable. Altogether, the mount of water furnished woul be all that Williams would nee for years to come and probabI for all time.
 The Question of Storage
 The News has referred to tn bodies of water stored in tf canyon above the Town as mu' holes. The News proposes tn; Williams water shall not con from mudholes, but on the CO trary from a reservoir with
 concrete bottom and walls, wats tight, so that the water stor
 therein would be as clear as u spring water which is now run ing down the canyon and wi
 which together with outsi snow and rain water, the rese voir might be filled. This rese voir, located preferably high up the canyon than the tank

The Path to Glory.

Tame always awaits the Senator who is
courageous enough to lead a successful
filibuster against a river and harbor ap-
propriation bill Thomas H. Carter, of
Montana. gained renown when he talked a
pork barrel measure" to death about ten
wears ago. He had been useful and in
fuential Senator, but this particular feat
served to close his political career in a
haze of glory.
Theodore Z. Burton had made a national
equation framing river and harbor APP
preparation bills-framing them with a
systematic exactitude which his predeces-
sors in the Craftsmanship Of the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors consid-
cred entirely superfuous. But Mr.. Burton
also crowned his labors in Congress by a
successful flibuster in the Senate against
AN old-fashioned river and harbor hand
out.
Now Senator William S. Kenyon, OF
Iowa, is a candidate for the honors which
come to the man who upsets the pork
barrel. And our old friend, Senator Ben
Tillman. who used to say, "Well, if there
is going to be any 'pork-barrelling' l want
TO be in on it," has joined the crusade.
Good luck to them and to those who
stand with them! This is no year to vote
millions away on river and harbor prof
ects of negligible national benefit. Every
spare cent the government has should 60
into military preparation. If Mr.. Kenyon
and his associates can force a so per cent
reduction of the appropriation carried in
the pending river and harbor bill they will
have earned the gratitude which the coun-
try never fails to manifest toward those
who do it a real service.

training taste, modern invention and large
scale production have made accessible
means of disseminating beautiful things
that never before existed. Talking ma
chimes, for instance, can democratize music,
are to-day disseminating musical apprecia-
ton at bewildering rate. Pots, pans,
wallpapers, automobiles, petticoats-every
item of purchase is manufactured In guam
tity to-day and, granted beginning of Will
to admire in producer and consumer, the
possibility of turning out a better and bet
ter artistic achievement by the million is
obvious. 1t is very different form of ar
tistic growth from the old artisan system
that made and taught beauty slowly, labo-
riously, both inside and outside the home.
The progress suggested has a superficial
ook and comes too easily to seem solid, by
comparison. There stands a point that
time alone can settle. We can he thank
full, however, that avenues of hope do exist
and that the American nation is fiocking
along them. If sheer quantity of artistic
stimulus can make up for old-fashioned,
fve-fnger labor, democracy may yet turn
out the most artistic of peoples.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! have looked in vain for any denun-

cution Of the Mexican rebels who have been
hunted down by a ruthless military. Con

can be no question. They had killed Ameri-
can citizens But surely the government.

have reflected that, after all. these unhappy
men were patriots. They may have been
dupes. but the cause which they espoused

their country, the people whom they Killed

their country. Surely the government would
have been well advised TO temper justice

but they must be taken into account In
considering the shortage of tonnage.
Lord Beresford apprehends that at the
present rate of depletion Great Britain Is
in danger of losing the carrying trade of
the world, and perhaps even of accepting
an inconclusive peace. On this latter
point, however, Lord Curzon's statement
was reassuring. for he disputed Lord
Beresford's figures and insisted that with
regard to tonnage the mercantile marine
after a year and half of war, differed
only in an inconsiderable degree from the
nosition il held before the war began.

SubatIantic Liners.

It is reported that the German Govern
ment. "wearied by continuous interference
with mails" is about to establish sub
atlantic service, and that for this purpose
n feet of vessels, EARNED for defence
only" is now ready.
A shipping man, lately returned from
Hamburg, has given THE Evening Sun
some curious particulars about these YES
sells. According to him, they were designed
originally for offensive purposes, but 1t
was thought they might usefully be turned
to account in a commercial way, for the
TRANSFORMATION of mails and valuable mer-
chandise. 1t is even possible, he says, that
a few passengers may be carried. Some
German shipping men have expressed APP
proval of the project, saying that the vast
cost of certain chemicals and other COM
modities would be enough practically to
cover the expense of the voyage
They speak, no doubt, upon the assump-
ton that the description of the new sub
mersible liners is correct. According to
this account. the vessels arc no less than
$50 feet long, with beam of 40 feet, and
are fitted with a superimposed deck, CIV
ing additional space for living quarters.
There is said to be room enough for ten
passengers, and it is supposed that there
are many persons who would pay large
amount for transportation across the
Atlantic at this time" AS to the freight,
If is explained that it may be slowed In
the space hitherto given over to the tor
pedoes.
1t will be seen that the vessels are OF
formidable proportions, more formidable
than the widest reports of Germanys
latest achievement in this way had led us
to suppose. If this story is true, we must
believe that the new submarines are far
larger than the largest Of our destroyers,
being about the same length as battleships
Of the Michigan or Kansas class. Pre-
suming the internal combustion engine is
used some difficulties would be involved
which have possibly been overcome, but
on this point the informer Of "The Even
ing Sun" is silent. Certainly vessel OF
such dimensions would represent prong
ious jump from the latest of which we
have authentic information.
The British submarines Of the + class
carry six torpedoes, and some of the later
ones are said to carry ten. But, according
to the shipping man from Hamburg, these
new vessels have room for eighteen or
twenty. Considering the fantastic stories
current in the early days of the war about
aircraft, it will be well to await confirma-
ton of this surprising report. There is
no reason to doubt the possibility of sub
marine trip across the Atlantic, but the
account given of the new liners is too i'm
probable to be accepted without further
evidence.

Along the green Moselle.

One word that sums her whole of grief
Dead children, women slain.

The village burned away,
The needless horrors men abode
