 But if great, unnecessary caution csed to conceal the of this mysterious Pacific conceal it. for the dispatches mention that among those who present the arrival of the steamer bearing the commission Masanoa Hanihara, con- sul general the Pacific Port" We know where the headquarters of Mr Hanhara but won't tell for that would the of the Pacific port, which under obligations to the Associated Press and the of the voluntary censorship bound to assist the government in concealing.
 We wouldn't mind informing in whisper, close personal friends whom trust and who will not disclose the information to the enemy where Mir Hanihara discharges the functions consul general That is as far will go.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.-The stock market gave promise at the outset of today's more active trading of con tinuing it's irregular rise of the pre- vious session but reversed it's course on extensive selling prompted by the peace proposals from Rome.
 Additional reason for concern was furnished by the gyrations of various specialties under pool control.
 War shares were steadily liquidated after peace reports gained currency. United States Steel fell to 123A, fin ishing a slight fraction above it's minimum.
 Sugars yielded l to 2 points with feathers and secondary equipments In general final prices were only slightly over lowest quotations. Total sales 505, 900 shares.

Local Produce Market

Grapes in quantity reached the Phoe nix produce market yesterday, selling at s1.75 a four basket crate wholesale, and at ten cents a pound retail. The grapes are all from the valley, the chief varieties being muscats and the Rose of Peru. Thompson seedless and other seedless grapes are now off the market for the season.
 Potatoes were firm at four cents a pound wholesale. It is believed by dealers that potatoes will hold at this price for some time because of a car shortage on the coast, where all the potatoes are coming from. AS soon aS the car shortage can be met potatoes will drop back around S3.50 a hundred.
 Tomatoes were easy yesterday. New crop tomatoes were in market, selling at ten cents a pound retail.
 The only commodities being sup piled the market by valley now are grapes, peaches, bell peppers and chilli. Peaches were weak, selling as low as two cents a pound. In consequence of price large quantities of peaches are being canned.

The Papal Peace Proposal


 What effect the papal peace proposal will havs is a matter of conjecture with guesses against any beneficial result Yet, Pope Benedict must have had an intmation from that the proposal would be entertained by at least side Peace may come suddenly the broke but at present the signs of obscure as the signs of July l, 1914. In fact the signs are minus, negative. All evidence, utterances ot statesmen both sides against the terms sug. geeted by the pope the restoration of Serbia Ruma. mia and Belgium and peaceful settlement regarding the French and Italian provinces-and Poland
 Germany has never been definite regarding the redisposition of Balkan territory Poland Belgium To Germany, of course any talk the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine is unthinkabe and so too must suggestion be for the Ire denta The fact that the pope includes Poland with these territories is tentative acknowledgement of some German claim upon that conquered region. It Is, therefore not proposal of quo ante.
 While the world does not know what Germany wants, it is pretty certain that it would not accept finally proposition to Serbia and Rumana That would be an abandonment of what is generally conceived to be the first object of the war an un- broken empire extending from the North sea to the Indian ocean. The mastery of Europe the world if Germany aimed that, would be a later conse- quent event
 
 fore be unacceptable at the last Germany, though 1t might be a basis for negotiations if We judge from the declarations of British French states men it touches at point upon the terms on which they would accept or grant peace.
 The restoration of all the territory occupied by Germany in the present and in the war of 1870 is not to them condition to be considered It is a fact beyond consideration. That can form no basis for negotiations
 The entente statesmen have moreover declared that condition of peace be the crushing of Prussianism; the end of the Hohenzollern-peace with complete victory. If all these declarations are to be taken at their face value Pope Benedict is wasting his time.
 But none of us know how weary all the belliger- ents may be and how weari 1>ae has been brought to exhaustion. We do not kn6 uhow gloomy the prospect may be. One thing is certain and that is that peace with complete victory be near.
 There is why the may not go on for one year. two years, five years why the world may not be fighting wearly like almost spent prize-fighter, ten years from now. And it will be fighting if either sides insists on complete victory

 We are told that the majority is apt to be right That is good old democratic doctrine whether it is true not We often doubt the truth of it. Many times in the history of every community the majority has been wrong Whether right wrong the opinion of the majority the minority may be reflected in the editorial policy of newspaper. The editorial writer is privileged to be right wrong any other citizen And unless there is positive accumu- ative evidence that he is trucker he should not be accused of trucking to public opinion.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Stocks have been influenced by the progress at Washington in getting the country's industrial machinery into shape for vigorous program of war.
 Much of the strength in the market is attributed to the scarcity of offer ings.
 Earnings of railroads throughout the country are some ten per cent net over 1916, the best year in history.
 Tendencies similar to those of the last day or two are expected. We think conservative buying will give good results provided stocks are not climbed after during bursts of strength. Higher prices are expected for L. P, s. P, Ct. Nor. Good buying reported in U. s. Steel, Beet Sugar Baldwin, Cent. Leather, Rep. Steel and U. s. Rubber. The motors are over sold

The Place of the Paper

The Republican has received the following from a valued reader:
 T very much afraid that your editorial policy is groping around in effort follow rather than to lead public opinion Is this worthy of you? You know well do that is the duty of the press of Arizona to uphold the the constitution of the state of Arizona without and without favor In Gods what is the use of effort of position of success, if like you must trucke to the mob?"
 We wish that our correspondent had been as lawyers for the defense often demand that complaints that shall be made, more specific certain. We informed in general terms wherein we have erred. We make many mistakes and when they are clearly pointed out we always make reparation. But now we are puzzled We do not know whether our feeling of having been flatered by correspondent who places upon a high pedestal castigate us should outweigh our humiliation at the casgation- But given no line on which to proceed to do better.
 Our correspondent raises issue whoch for some years has been the way toward settlement the place of the newspaper editorial There was time when editors only led public opinion but actually made it and then led it. It is suspected though that they have not done for some years In former days newspapers and other means of com- municaton were few; the itself meager. The newspaper writer access to more sources of information than other people; his knowledge more comprehensive and of the of his reading he formed opinions which his readers accept ed for they had no such bases for forming them
 But all that has been changed. Nearly all news of importance intelligent readers as fully as it does to the newspaper editor. They read it. They read comments it and all form opinions not only to the reliability of the news but as to the subject matter. These opinions are conflicting and taken together they chaotic. They cannot be led and if 6 editor and cowardy enough to follow them he would be led into distraction and lost
 Some of these opinions right and some are wrong some are partly right and partly wrong The
