sooTLEeeINe IN sIs6EE.

The City Council is entitled to commendation for its action in providing ordinance aimed the overthrow of the booegger and thereby equippin the authorities with legal weapon which be used eectuay in en- forcing prohibition This s believe the most constructive piece of civic legislation taken by any municipality in Arizona since the State went dry" Il surely furnishes ndubable proof that Mayor Adams and his colleagues sincere in their efforts to bring about law enforcement and that they in entire sympathy with the police powers whom devolve the arduous task of apprehending law-breakers
 The new ordinance will valize the prohibition amend ment as nothing has done In its absence there would have been loophole through which offenders might crawl successfully defyng the police to follow. Doubtless criticism will be heard in quarters that invasion of personal rights Such criticism will be voiced or endorsed solely by those who have not yet to their senses who continue to speak fippanty of the prohibition amendment and regard onenses against it lightly
 The City Council takes the position that the statute means just what says position that should be taken by every aw-abidng citizen The City Council believes it is duty uphold literal interpretation of the law and the ordinance is generous contribu- ton to such interpretation.
 Prohibitions more drastic legal brand than has been adopted in any state in the Unon-is than on trial in Arizona We believe that should be fair square that assail the verdict We be- speak it The Bisbee ordinance squarely in keeping with a fair trial

GRA8SiNG NIAGARA AGAIN.

Another Niagara Falls power grab be under Congress is considering resolution for the diver sion by private manufacturing of all addi- tional water that treaty with Canada permits.
 It may be that grab" is strong a word it. al though the past history Niagara a power-source naturally suggests such characterization It is prom ised that more power will be given away without provision for compensation the United States Com pensaton happens to be little detail usually overlooked in such grants. Perhaps it is too much now with public attitude toward national resources, hope that the nation will get anywhere what the gift worth.
 The esthetic consideration too should not be over. looked. Every time additional diverted there is alarm lest the beauty of the falls be ruined It should be definitely determined what the should be in this case.
 And while is dealing with the question. why not consider proposal made last by celebrated engineer, change the whole system of handling the falls, aud make it fully adaptable both utility and beauty? The idea is let all the water run over the falls in the daylight hours, divert all manu facurng purposes night when nobody's looking.

ZONE RATE FOR MAGAZINES.

The post office till before congress contains clause providing for the establishment for postage on publications This is matter that affects, news papers little but affects magazines much And the Engineering News remarks, if is retained, the might properly be labeled "A Bill to Suppress Publications of a National Character"
 The provision is inspired by the cost of shipping periodicals long distances With so many bulky mag azines circulating throughout the country doubt the expense of the longest shipments is important It is easy exaggerate it. however As the Engineering News points any estimate, of the based milo would be fallacous, because with mail matter than with freight the great element in the of carriage the hauling over the expense" That is to say the collecting sorting dis patching and delivering a piece of mail are more important expense than the distance.
 The chief consideration however public wei fare broadly considered. And certainly if zone rate would seriously hamper the circulation national pub lications public policy demands that there be rate
 The journals that will be seriously affected those which know sectional distinction boundaries-thc journals whose circulation should be encouraged by every who understands the great importance of national unity
 "A great influence has been exerted the national development during the past half century by the journals devoted to literature to science and the arts to the fessOns and the industries Doubtless the congress- men who framed this bill have conception of what it will to substitute journals of sectional character in place of the national journals that have portant feature of American public life"
 There should be immediate, universal protest against any such action.

THE BALLOT INSPECTION.

One of the most demoraizng phases of the ballot in spection in Phoenix has to do with unwarranted and therefore uncoroborated reports of the count These have the effect of raising false hopes, of breeding increasing bitterness those who taking keen partisan interest the gubernaorial contest and there making it less easy bring about a much-needed reconciliation between all voters Arizona when the issue is decided
 The fact sight by many thoughtless per that object of the ballot inspection solely formative that will establish nothing that warranted unwarranted. For the sake of illustration let that the inspection far has progressed apparently proves has received a majority of Hunt, nevertheless would have to seek redress through because Campbell, and Campbell alone has been legally recog nzed and legally installed the Arizona
 Patrons of the Review have been impatient for con- pete on the inspection We therefore gladly take advantage the following explanation published in The Arizona Republican. reporters on the of action and qualified the latest de- yclopments at first hand:
 Readers of the newspapers Phoenix and Arizona complain that they depend upon the papers sor of the results inspection the ballots in the governors contest The complaint well grounded but the not to blame and nobody blame for the paucity information With equally as great the stockholders a mine might complain at an early stage of the development work that it had not shown the wealth of the property
 There is general misunderstanding regarding the inspection which. have taken occasion 10 say is really part the contest but is only preparatory to it. Nothing accomplished by the inspection boards binding and nothing the boards accomplish necessarily deerminatiye. The boards pass upon nothing.
 fFhey check the work of the election boards and dis cover whether made by those boards Many errors though not many expected, have been found with the Inspection about half completed E,eiy such discovery means gain or for tue contestant the contestee The figures thus compiled by the clerks of the inspection boards they agree to tLe taies

WAR SUMMARY

The period of comparative calm which has existed on all the batJle fronts for some time except in Ru- mania, continues. In no theatre aside rom Rumania has an important en- 5agement taken place. the activity everywhere being carried out by means of the artillery and by small patrol parties.
 in Rumania the Teutonic allies have another considerable success in the capture in northern Dobrudja of the towns of Matchin and Jijila, forcing the Russians to point just south oi the Danube where the river bends and separates Dobrudja from Bessarabia.
 Tn Moldavia and northern Wallachia lhe invaders are keeping up their gains both northward and eastward of the Pennsylvania Alps region. At sev- eral points in the center of the lines n northern Wallachia, however, the Russians and Rumanians are tenaci- 1usly fighting to hold them back, and according to Petrograd, in the region of Focsani and near the river Rimnik che Teutonic allies were defeated, the defenders taking several villages and capturing six officers, 205 men, five cannon and eight machine guns.
 On the western front lively artillery duels are in progress in Belgium and on several sectors in the region of verdun. On the Austro-Italian front bombardments alone have taken place. There is still no news concerning the operations in Macedonia.
 Berlin reports that since the begin ming of the war entente warships of T total tonnage of 759,4 tons. not in cluding auXiliaries and special type ships, have been sunk.

Burns, Mexican Consul Gen. eral, Believed to Be Ship ping Arms to Mexico for Months From New York.
STRUGGLED GUNS AS
 BUILDING MATERIAL
Bursting of Box at Vera Cruz Exposes Conspiracy-Sus- pected Consul Pleads That He Is Innocent.
(Bv Review Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The arrest here today by federal officers of Juan T. Burns, consul general at
 New York for the de fscto govern
 ment in Mexico, disclosed an al- legged conspiracy in which five Mexicans, including Burns, are
 charged in three indictments with
 shipping arms into Mexico in vio-
 Iation Of President Wilson's em.
 bargo proclamation of October,
 1915, and with evasion of customs
 regulations.
 Another "Leak"
 According to Assistant r., S. Dis trict Attorney John C. Knox, federal agents first became aware of the al legged plot last November when a pack age shipped from New York on board the Ward Line steamship Esperanza and manifested as containing building material" fell on the dock at Vera Cruz and broke open, revealing cart ridges as it's contents. investigations by federal agents disclosed that the D0x, shipped presumably by a Pitts. burg Hardware company, had been forwarded from this port by a firm known as the Adic Company, composed of Louis Gotting and Wenislau Mont. The manifest in which the box was entered in customs records was signed by John Gelpi, who. investigation proved ro be Jose de la Paz, an en- ploye of the firm.
 Shipments Numerous.
 Further investigation revealed, ac- cording to Mir. Knok, that other ship ment of cartridges had been made from New York under the guise of ma chinery. Some of these shipments, he said, were sent to Galveston on board the steamer Neches of the Mallory Line, the Galveston shipments being marked in care of R. Miere. Three weeks ago GOtting, Mont and de la Paz were arrested here by federal agents. Reuben Miere was arrested at Houston, Texas.
 Burns Paid Money?
 The implication of Consul General Burns came, Mir. Knox said, when in vestigations revealed that the money to pay for this ammunition had come from him. One of the counts in the indictment mentions in this connec ton advancing by Burns of S5,200 A considerable quantity of the ammuni- ton found here and at Galveston has been seized by the federal officers and is held as evidence against the ac- cused.
 Consul "lnnocent?"
 Burns protested his innocence and entered a plea of not guilty. He was released on a bond Of S10,000 which he furnished in cash. Later Burns said:
 T am entirely innocent of any wrong doing. I have not made any attempt to buy arms here to be shipped to Mexico and I cannot see how l can possibly be connected with any such charge as has been brought"
