Where the People
 May Have Hearing
AN INACCESSIBLE CEMETERY
To the Editor of the Republican:

Phoenix, Arizona, Sir: .... =. Your paper being one of the main channels, through which many lm- pr0vements concerning beautiful Phoe- nix have been suggested and often have been materialized, I would like to draw your attention to a condition which, If relieved. would undoubtedly be highly appreciated by thousands.
 1 am referring to the great distance or the Catholic cemetery from town, and it's difficulties to get there.
 I know that surprisingly great number of Phoenicians possess their own automobiles and for them, of or anywhere else, but there also are many who are not in such fortunate circumstances and they too, would often like to spend quiet hour with their departed loved ones or bring out there some fresh flowers. At present, such d desire is almost prohibitive. and many have to stay away from there on ac- count of the expense such trips do incur
 Most of our up-to-date cities have street car connections to their ceme- terieS and there is no reason why Phoenix, our capitol, should not have the same. AriZonans think as much or their dead as anybody and a chance to be with them. whenever they feel a desire to uo so, would be an undertak- ing earning the sincere gratitude of many.
 Yours very truly,
 w E. SCHOTT,
 Price Arizona.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. ?. Leased WireT

NEW YORK, July (WallsStreet) ) The cratic and conflicting currents that have appeared in the stock mar ket in recent weeks were again man fest today. Prices receded, although speculative issues yielded mainly from sheer inertia, public interest being at the lowest ebb.
 The more favorable statement, with it's strengthening of reserves, and the easier money market were more than counterbalanced by fresh concern re- specting the Russian situation and the time-worn question of war profits and taxes.
 Steamship shares were almost the only strong features of the first half of the session. These gains were more than surrendered later as a result of Washington advice to the effect that the administration is to act with this country's allies in affecting a material reduction of prevailing marine freight rates
 United States Steel reacted from its top price of 123A to 121 closing at a net loss of lA points, the Bethlehem Steels, new and old, feIl B, and points respectively and others of the same group an average of points. Oils yielded l to 3A points and sugars l to 2 points.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 5l0,o00 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, with free sell l ing of Anglo French 5's at a slight de- cline, the Liberty issue varying from | 994 to 9949 Total sales. par value aggregated $2.825.O00. United States old bonds were un- changed on call

PRICE OF BOOZE MAY JUMP

Whisky doomed so far as it's manufacture is concerned There is no question about this in the minds of those opposed prohibition legislation of any kind.
 But this does not mean that whiskey will be sold either at wholesale in this country dur ing the period. The chances now favor most if not all the Wskey now in bond being sold retail over the country but with the price drink mount ing as the supply diminishes
 There 220 million gallons this whiskey now The distieries reported be working overtime Increasing this amount The bill as if goes to the president undoubtedly will contain a clause permit ting him to commander this whisley and redistill it for industrial purposes but this would cost the coun- try 250 million dollars and chances are all against congress voting appropriation for this purpose
 The bonded liquor supply will last not more than two years, and of the most conservative sen ators predict that if whisky distation once stopped in this country it will never be resumed.-New York Sun.

key to the slowness almost the inefficency Of congress- if a key needed, is found in the sen investigation of Secretary Daniels report on the submarine attack American transports en route to France. over this matter long discussion ensued The secretary was charged with exaggeration and finally resolution adopted calling upon the sec retary for a copy of Admiral Gleaves report on the affair All this took place to the exclusion of delib- eratons upon important war measures, when what might have been the result of this investigation nothing could possibly have been achieved but waste of time.

Most of the newspapers threw away after page telegraph carrying that report, too offensive lay before their readers The London Times, however, printed the Mesopo- tamian report in full for though the English papers are less yellow than American journals, they have way over there of not softening the of a spade
 The responsibility for the Mesopotamian disaster Is placed chiefly the Indian office though the blame reaches out in some degree to all branches of the then existing government The worst charge is that it was result of political miscalculaton The government. smartng under the rretrievable defeat at the Dardanelles, forced the first advance upon Bagdad against the advice of General Townshend who pointed out the lack of support and the lack of transportation facilities
 We have said that the report finds that the whole existing government is in some degree bameworthy Though Lord Kitchener himself is not attacked in the report and though he appears to have been in no way responsible for the ilfated expedition (perhaps he could not have halted it) alusion made in the re- port to the military system for which he was re- sponsibe and to that extent he must be regarded as bameworthy.

system its inappcability to such war as that in

system, its nappicabil1ty to such war as that III which the nation engaged.
 Here is matter to which,. perhaps. British paper will ever advert, and diversion to it is not pleasant, for it involves the destruction of idol Kitchener regarded at home and abroad as the greatest soldier of his time Perhaps he far and away the greatest soldier of the allies When he came his death in the north of Scotland his loss believed by many be irreparabe There seemed to take hisplace Yet, it may be be-
 eved that his tragic death the salvation of Great Britain and the allies. So long Kitchener lived in spite of the fatal breaks in his system at Galipoli, Mesopotamia and in France, that system could not well have been changed until it had broken down so comprehensively that the nation itself would have been carried down in the ruin. Kitchener himself could not well have changed it. Such changes of systems made by who create them. There must be new forces and new agencies. What ever the government might have believe know of the fatal weaknesses of the Kitchener sys- His death made change possible and opened the way whose vision broader than that of the late war chief could have become.
 Samuel c. Blythe, in the current Saturday Evening Post, touches upon this subject in dealing with the capacity of the British military system at the out break of the war. It was a good system a tain point. It capable of handling the small standing army but it inappicable to army of million or even half million
 It is regretable that the life of great soldier, great administrator, who had contributed to the growth and glory of the British empire should have been eclpsed but his passing gave his country its only hope of victory in the world
