Welcome!

The Republican again welcomes Arizona to Phoe- nix which happens by virtue of it's central and off cal position the location of Arizonas state fair We take this occasion to state that it is not local fair a county fair of a district fair but Aroznas fair There are hundreds of and women in the state who much vtally interested in the fair and will derive greater benefit from it than any or woman in Phoenix.
 But we are glad have the fair here and glad that the people have come and coming in such large numbers. We shall be sorry when the fair is over when visitors begin to return to their homes We trust that the people of Phoenix Will make things pleasant for their guests that the latter will leave with bad taste in their mouths and with resolution (which, would not be keptl that they will not come again. dissatisfied guest is not a good advertisement.
 There is already a larger crowd in Phoenix than vas ever before here the opening day of the fair and it will be added by every train from the north and south, for the midweek attractions the stronger.
 It will be in all respects, we feel sure the best fair Phoenix has had. If it should not be, that vin be no fault of the management which has left nothing undone to make it

National Suffraaists and Suffrass

The sweeping victory for woman suffrage in New York might have been expected to be followed by a renewal of pcketing of the White House, louder demonstration in favor of woman suffrage. We do not think the New York victory very welcome one to the national suffragsts. took of the wind out of their sails Nor do believe that they would welcome suffrage victory, state by state, in every state in the Unon for that would deprive their sails of wind entirely.
 We have quarrel with the ideas of these women but we do not think their methods wise and help ful- We too would prefer national expression in favor of woman suffrage. We regret that congress has refused to adopt amendment, but it has not been done and there sign that it will be done soon We believe anyhow, that suffrage will prevail in one state after another until it shall prevail in whole nation, probably earlier than it could be brought about by national legislation
 The attitude of the national suffragists following the great New York victory is not surprising or new one among crusaders. is as old tho first crusade. The early abolitionsts and the early hIbationists felt the way about it.
 The former were not content with any restriction If slavery with any partial victory The early pro- hbitionists resented victories To them in the beginning the conquest of wet district or even wet state appeared be obstacle to the national movement. The civil made possible the aboli- of slavery at single sfs oke ProholtlonSts later broadened their views and found for rejoicing in the capture of a single state single county single town.
 The old abolitioniss and the old prohibtonists in spite of stubborness did not live in vain They gave an impetus to the they advocated that carried them on to be further propelled not alone by abotionists prohbitionists but by others who adopted ser methods for that, abolition would have failed and bu. that we would have very little dry territory in the United States The blindness of the slave owners and that of the saloon keepers helped a great deal.
 The comparison of the national sufflagists with the early abolitioniss and the early prohibitioniss fails in description of development l. is true. that Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others were strong national suffrage advocates but they did not dsdain local suffrage victory.
 They were not national suffragists in the sense that these pcketers Our national suffras ists are of later development and their origin and certainly, their tactics to the English militant movement. Those tactics whatever the motive xehnd them cannot be helpful that when the final plete victory has been five ten twenty years hence, the credit of having given impetus the suffrage movement not be given them, certain and large degree of credit may be given the abol tonsts and early prohibtonists for the prevalence of the causes they advocated.

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

surgical dressings, and nothing in the whole situation here Is equally i'm portant. Red Cross standard dress ings in millions must be sent over with all possible speed. If this is not done and done immediately a serious calamity and national dis grace is inevitable. The American women who compose the Red Cross chapters should prepare with all the enthusiasm and speed possible the dressings which are going to mean life or death to our own men. This whole question deals with the most vital thing that the women of Amer ica can do for the soldiers in this war.
 During the summer a great many people leave the cities, and you have probably noticed that the number of workers in your workrooms has di- unfinished. The effect of this urgent need should be to get all of these people to again take up this work in earnest and do so knowing that they are rendering real service. Rep- resentatives of the woman's bureau have just arrived this week from abroad, and they inform us that it Is hard for us to appreciate the great quantities of dressings which are necessary. To best enable us to visualize this they have informed us that cases are numerous where an entire box of dressings is used on enc patient"
 You can see from the above that the surgical dressing situation abroad is extremely important. Please see what can be done in your organiza- tion to increase the output of sur gical dressings. In doing this, do not discontinue other work, but get more and more surgical dressing workers and increase the activities of your chapter in that department MARSHAL HALE Manager Pacific Division. The work of every chapter in the state will be represented in the Red Cross exhibit in the Council of Defense building at the state fair grounds. The exhibit will be most complete and will give an indica- tion of the great work that is being forwarded by the women of Arizona The downtown headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce will be open as usual.
 Books for the soldiers at Christ mas are being collected by Mrs. Joseph H. Kibbey who is waging a campaign for literature for the lads in training camp and cantonment Anyone desiring to contribute is re- quested to leave the donation at the | Chamber of Commerce, or if unable to do so to telephone Mrs Kibbey, who will call for the parcel.
 The Wickenburg branch of the Phoenix chapter of the Red Cross held an all day session Friday when it assembled Christmas packets for the soldiers. Fifty packages were forwarded to the local chapter as Wickenburg' contribution to the holiday cheer offering. Each packet contained a flash light with a two- cell battery, pad, pencil and scrap book made by the school children. The books made by the youngsters added the personal and home touch that was accentuated in the fruit cake, salted almonds and candy. The next meeting will be an "in- struction class" for beginners in knitting. Notice will be given when the materials arrive in Wickenburg.

The medical profession az a profession
has not nor will II disgrace itself tho
individuals may seek to evade fun re-
sponsbiities of citizenship and dodge
a plain duty. But the forming of an
army of million men in six months
makes extraordinary demands upon
the profession. Certainly II would be
of all fairness IL the doctors were to
be summoned by LOT from among those
whose ties and freedom from depend
ents logically indicate them as chose
who should yn with other men drawn
for military service under the same
plan.
The history of the medical profes"
eicn in war is OF character wherein
its practitioners may take high pride.
No doubt ii will have its slackers and
individual selfishness and evasions as
they exist among other men but those
are the exceptions in the profession as
they are the exceptions among men Oh
all classes. But there is no disgrace
in selectiye draft from citizens OF an!
profession or class taken by lot to the
defense of their country and the exer-
else of practical patriotism.

CAMPAIGN FOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

Labor unions parent-teacher asso-
Citations, women's clubs, churcnes anu
other religious bodies, and MANY o;hei
organizations directly concerned with
education in a campaign for the main
tenance Of SCI. oil efficiency as spe-
c:al patriotic duty this year. In his
appeal DR.. Claxton, commissioner OF
education, points out the existing fear
lest public schools shall suffer because
Of conditions growing out OF the en-
trance OF the United States into the
war He emphasizes the fact that as
a measure of present defense and for
the future welfare of the country, as
we'll as for the individual benefit of
the children. it is of the greatest i'm
portance that the schools be main
tanned in the highest standards of eff
cheney.
Especially important IN the view
of the commissioner, is prompt and
regular attendance at school and proper
employment during on; -of-school hours.
These the commissioner believes, will
be the ch!drens surest protection
against temptations to juvenile de-
linQuencies. -
Labor unions are especially appealed
to 10 urge the children now In high
school to complete their work. Super
intendents of schools have been asked
10 cooperate with the representatives
of labor unions in their communities
in the efforts to keep children in
school.
