As to Democratic asorenessD

Those who count upon democratic soreness" to aid in bringing about republican victory in Arizona, taking a very superficial view of the situation. We entertain the slightest doubt that there will be republican victory in Arizona November and that it will be effected with the aid of many voters who were democrats But if had to depend upon the aid of only democrats who sore" would be in a bad way There not enough of them for much in the election. Only the defeated candidates and their immediate friends sore" and they sore" at all the successful candidates but only the candidates by whom they were defeated For instance the lost candidate for commissioner attorney general, justice of the peace does not necessarily enter tain will against the successful candidate for governor senator representative candidate for any office except that which the defeated candidate aspired. Thus how easy it will be for the democrats who interested in the primaries to together; any for enough of them to get together make the number of those still sore en- trely negligible
 The republicans of Arizona must in the first place. depend upon themselves and next, upon the great mass of the democrats who were not slightly interested the any democratic candidate in the late primary. In this county there are about 11,OOO democrats registered Many others had reg stered as non partisan, and many others had not registered for the primary election at all Hardly 4.0O0 democratic votes cast at the primary. about 30 per of the registered democratic vote probably about 25 per cent of the supposed democratic vote Here we have about 70 per cent of the demo- of Maricopa county whose apathy or disgust kept them away from the polls. They cared for neither Hunt. Olney nor any other democratic cand date They therefore, be sore at the result of the primary. In spite of all the furore all the seeming bitterness in the democratic party in this county, per of the democratic voters who had choice between Hunt and Olney. It may be reasonably presumed that of these democrats have interest in the state that they have preference of candidates for governor And if has demonstrated. that preference is not either Hunt Oney, it must be Campbell.
 What is true of Maricopa county, we have been informed is in great measure of every other county-a light democratic registration for the primaries and a light attendance of registered demo- crats the primaries.
 Here is the field which promises most for the success of the republicans in November and for good government

NOT JuRYMEN, BUT IDIOTS NEVERTHELESS

In Harper's Magazine for September Louise Cosser Hale tells of amusing episode in her motor trip through Virginia It at Staunton, and a circus in town
 Tt the courthouse that watched long file of soberly clad citizens pass by I stood among the oafers admiring the dignity of what took to be the makers of laws and those who sit in judgment Eager to pay a compliment to the citizens of Staunton, I remarked upon the excellent appearance.
 " Court and jury? I questioned politely.
 No, maam, replied the loafer. That's the in- asylum going to the circus
 "We left the town shortly afterward with position in life firmly established. We had not in tended to head the procession Our had started from the where the hotel stood into the main thoroughfare before appreciated that the traffic had ceased and that the great red and gold band-wagon had already passed. There was hiatus between this band-wagon and the elephants, and the ever-courteous southern policeman seeing us with baggage strapped on, wished to speed departure by slipping into this space.
 When in could not get out. won't say that Toby and I cared to get out. This circus idea had been forced upon and accepted it, but the Illustrators face was pitiful.
 Are going to make monkeys of ourselves all ves? he asked the precipitation rolling down his face
 Not monkeys I shouted for the band had struck up. They think we're the proprietors. The monkeys are in the wagons. We really ought to be throwing out hand bills
 Tt very dull after this to go up the hill to- ward such respectable place Churchville, and we in hurry to reach it, for the good road ended there, as even hotel proprietor is forced to admit"

Politics and Religion

One incident of the late campaign which has not been given publicity by the press attempt to religious prejudice against certain candidates Most of the candidates attacked the demo- cratic ticket We do not believe at any rate there is evidence that any political faction any didate was implicated in this despicabe, American scheme We think it purely the work of few fanatics and looking the list of successful didates, may say that it without effect.
 Ones religious belief should be accepted a reason for his election to- his defeat for office If should to that, should have gone back to a condition that existed in the Dark Ages from which we have been slowly emerging. Such condi- ton now with multiplicity of religious beliefs would be than it in the middle ages when the people generally of religion. Now with multiplicity of religious denominations the appl- cation of a religious test would produce a situation only little short of anarchy.
 The who would apply this a violator of the spirit of constitution. He is not good American and. therefore. is' a good citizen

Carranza's Aruument

The first concrete result of the Mexican confer ence is a demand by Carranza for indemnity of s2OOOOOOOO the United States because it violated Mexican sovereignty by sending General Pershngs command into Mexico. When President Wilson sent Pershing into Mexico he announced that he did proved that this statement had basis in fact and Carranza had consistently and emphatically pro- tested against invasion and that it fin truth and in fact an act of Of the presidents objection to admitting that he had force into Mexico against Carranza's protest, that 1t would puncture the democratic slogan He has kept out of war"
 Nevertheless, MT. Wilson's misrepresentation of the facts affords Carranza ground for contending that MT. Wilson knew it not proper to send the troops in without his consent. It the ground that Carranza ordered his troops to fire on the Americans at Carrizal, that his did fire and kill American soldiers. His ambassador in Washington informed the administration that the Mexican troops fired by order of Carranza, and the administration in Washington resented the fire. Carranza will doubtless that fact proving that MT. Wilson knew he in the wrong when he ordered the troops into Mexico, knew he had ground for protest and must know the demand for indemnity is just. What the outcome of the Carranza demand will be- none foretel for this administra- ton is guided by principles of international law and no consistency continuity of policy.

 When Chief Wright left Phoenix about the middle of August he went immediately to San Diego where he spent five days attending the annual convention of the Pacific Coast Fire Chiefs Association. There were 115 fire chiefs in attendance and there was much that was interesting and in structive. Besides the regular business of such a convention there was on hand a display of fire fighting equip ment and apparatus such as has never before been assembled at any one place on the coast. It was an educa- ton in itself and gave the assembled chiefs better idea of the advance .ment of modern methods. Incidental to the convention Chief Wright boosted Phoenix wherever it was necessary
 But that wasn't often for the later day fame of Phoenix as a moderniy equipped city had preceded him to thu coast. And incidental too, to the con vention. Chief Wright was elected

Of WORDS, SAYS40DGE
Senator Assails President Wilson.
Says Massachusetts Is for

NANTUCKET, Mass, August 19.-As-
serting that the present government
at Washington has been an admins
tration of words" Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge made his opening speech of the
presidential campaign at an outing OF
tbe Republican Club of Dorchester here
today.
Mr.. Lodge said. in part: Behind
great barrier of words the President
has sheltered himself. surrounded by a
cloud of phrases; big words with no
meaning.
After the awful disaster of the Lusi-
tania the President used the memorable
phrase, too proud to fight: the coun-
try responded the next morning. 1t
was not a friendly response.
so he changed and we had a great
note on strict accountability. And II
remains a phrase. There has never
been a reparation or even an apology
for the Americans drowned or killed
on the Lusitania.
The same phrase was posted on the
consulate of Mexico not long ago-thal
If any injury came to Americans Mexico
would be held strictly accountable
Americans have been killed and every
outrage committed. and strictly ac-
countable' still remains the false and
empty phrase.
Another cry kept US out of war 1t
is not easy to get into war when no
body wants to go to war with you"
Senator Lodge predicted that Massa-
chusetts would give Hughes a larger
plurality than the plurality of the COM
bined Taft and Roosevelt vote in 1912

apart to make 1t certain for the two

FAIL TO ACT ON PROBE
OF DISTRICT LIVING COST

An effort to have the Senate pass the
Kenyon-Keating joint resolution pro-
viding for an investigation into the
cost of living of wage-earners in the
District of Columbia was defeated yes
terday afternoon. when Senator GAL
linger of New Hampshire objected to
the consideration of the resolution.
Senators Smith of Georgia and Shaf-
roth of Colorado sought to have the
resolution taken up.
This resolution has been reached on
the calendar of the Senate number OF
times at the present session, but each
time objection to its consideration has
caused it to go over. Senator Williams
Of Mississippi prevented its considera-
ton the last time it was reached on the
calendar, and Senator Stone OF Missouri
also has objected to it
The resolution. which has passed the
House and has been favorab1y reported
to the Senate from the committee on
education and labor, is regarded as
forerunner of a minimum wage law for

for those demanding a change to refuse
to submit their demands to arbitration
is indefensible."
W. G. Lee, head Of the brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen, also gave out a prie1
statement on behalf of the men. polnting
out that in accepting President Wilson'S
plan the employees SURRENDERED very
large portion of their demands. He add
ed the workmen would remain here. but
would take no further action until re-
leased by Mr. Wilson.
The railroad officials found two points
in President Wilson's public statement or
his settlement plan that comforted them
and led to a belief that eventually there
will be an agreement averting strike
The first was a hint that, if the facts
warranted, the interstate commerce COM
mission might grant an increase in
freight rates. The second was a sug-
gestion that the eight hour day base
would be accepted only tentatively and
might be determined after investigation
by the commission provided under the
PRESIDENTS plan.
