A Dream of Peace

The New York Times Sunday mag azine of week ago carried an elabor- ate article by Professor Hugo Nuns terberg of Harvard University in which alliance between Germany, Great Bri- tain and the United States, as the se- quence to the war between the Central European Powers and the entente al- lies.
 During all of Professor Munster berg's voluminous discussion of the at titude of this country to the country to which. after twenty years residence in the United States, he still owes ale glance. he has never been charged with being a hypoerite nor accused of pos ing as humorist. For that reason his plea may be taken seriously. however slight it's appeal to the average Amer ioan. As the basis for his plea for what most thinkers will regard as an impos .: sible alliance, Professor Munsterberg says:
 England, as always through the cen turies, will be a winner without loss The diamond land of Southwest Africa may be added to Rhodesia- But Eng land will also get possession of Egypt after having forgotten for a while that she does not possess it yet. France will receive back all the land which Germany has conquered and it may be that the peace conference will give 10 her that part of Lorraine which she occupies today, perhaps in ex- change for a good part of Morocco in order that Germany may have at least some fOothold fin Africa where Germans can live in a moderate climate. Belgium will certainly go back to the Belgians, and al last their racial instinct will be fulfilled the Flemish and the Wal looms will find the chance to have sep arate administration in their own lan- guage.
 One of the prominent features of Pro- lessor Munsterberg's dream involves the calling in by Great Britain and Germany of the United ntates as a me- diator fin the person of President Will son, with the obvious intent that the three countries shall form an ultimate alliance which could not from the na- ture of the case be otherwise than an- tagonistic to the other countries en- gagged in the war.
 It is just here that the advice of George Washington against entangling foreign alliances looms up as a testa- ment. But the temptation to ignore that advice is not strong. Even the ex- ploitation of a plan which would in. volve the United States with now friendly powers carries with it sor of distinct warning; for 1t makes dan. gers evident and thus points to theil avoidance.

Where the People

Why Automobile "For Hire" Price has Advanced and Who is Re-
 sponsible for Same
Editor, Republican

Editor, Republican:
 Along about July 5th, our city com mission found it convenient to raise our bonds from $1,0000o to S2,00O.OO. and although we had paid the city $6000 upon each car we operated Tor one year in advance, ending Septem- Der 3Uth, 1916, nevertheless they re-, quested us to get a $2,OOO.OO bond or quit business, and although it put us to considerable trouble to do II, the most of us compiled with their re- quest. We had hardly compiled with l it before another amenoed ordinance was proposed to raise the bond from $2, 100000 to 2,500.00 but just as this was in final shape for passage, cer- tain bonding company loomed up ana after holding a whispered consultation with some of the city fathers, and 1 understand he told them they might as well make it $J,O00.00, as 1t would only cost Sl20.00 per year, whereas | S2, 10000 would cost within $30.00 of the same; thereupon the commission, with the exception of Commissioner Woods, voted the s5,00O.00.. and they were not satisfied at that, but at tached the spurs, known as the emergency clause, to same, so as to make it iron clad, fool proof, etc. Will the commissioners explain to us, as well as the public, who are vitally ln- terested, why they found il of such vital interest to again put us to the | trouble of getting another bond for | S, 100000 within thirty days from the time they compelled us to fill out the $2,000.0O? Was there any public de- mand for it? Was there any accident that happened that a S200000 bond wouldn't take care of it? Or was il [ t.. -fasI. fn rall flN favored ones d bonding company or what?
 Why the emergency clause, when we were already under a S2,00O.0O bond? Was the emergency clause put on for public safety? Was 1t done to prevent the car owners filing pro- test in the way of a referendum2 All ordinances passed by the city com mission pertaining to automobiles for hire has the emergency clause at tached Why?
 To operate a car for hire in Phoe- nix costs the owner about s250.00 per year, over half the price of q Ford car. What other legitimate business in Phoenix is there that is required tc give half their capital invested each year in order to do business2 It's about time for some of us to wake ur and attend the commission meetings and see for ourselves what is going on.
 If the commission has desire ir trying to protect public safety. why don't they cause dinners to be put on those glaring headlights? There have been several accidents through their cause already.
 Signed by one Of the fifteen cal owners who put in a written protes against the latter bond.

TORONTO, CANADA, WEATHER

A letter received yesterday from Toronto, Canada states that on July ist. the weather in that supposedly cool country was 100 in the shade and that for several nights it had been almost impossible to sleep. What a temptation to emigrate, it must be to such Toronto people as know of the delicious enjoyments Of the climate of the Salt River Valley. where each day the last rays of the summer sun kiss into wakefulness the evening breeze and the fortunate residents sink 10 cool. refreshing sleep. to awaken only at rare intervals in order to slap the face off some pesky mosquito.

COLD ROAD STARTS
 NEW DEVELOPMENT

On the 1650-foot level of No. shaft of the Goldroad mine drifts have been started both northwest and southeast in what is believed to be an excellent showing for making an ore shoot. The cTosscut was run lS0 feet and in the past 40 or 50 feet, various string CTS have been cut. For about F feet the rock extracted has been a sort of ledge matter, but there is a distinct uncertainty and difference of opinion as to whether or not the hanging wall has been reached.
 The miners who have worked there for half dozen years have gathered notions of their own from experience to see the crosscut continued until the hanging wall Is known to have been found. On the other hand, the engi- neering advice is to start drifting at once which has been done in the past day or two and 1t is making speed under, the usual energetic direction of Manager D. R. Muir. While this is a greater depth than it is generally known that a Goldroad or Oatman mine had reached, No. 3 shaft is 250 feet higher at the sur face than No. l, the latter being the main working shaft, and thus the depth, in reality is considered to be 1400 feet. No. 1 is used to hoist all the ore and three compartment shaft. No. is used for letting down timbers and for lowering and hoisting the miners.
