Congress has passed the river
and harbor bill with all it's graft,
carrying an appropriation of over
$27, 600, 900, but it is still debat-
ing war measures that are vitality
urgent. With everybody urged
to course of economy, Congress
should have held up the river
and harbor bill until after the
war, and let this enormous sum
go to carry some of the pressing
burdens of the people, but the
lobby of grafters who live from
one session of Congress to an
other on the river and harbor
bill, had to be taken care of even
though the government might
fall. Little do they care for the
government except for what they
can make out of it.

Wiley Jones, the great acrobatic
attorney-general of Arizona, has
finally got on both sides of the
American flag, and he does it all
in one letter to the county attor-
ney of Cochise county. He re-
minds him that he officially
urged him to enforce the law
against reasonable acts, and for
the protection of the flag, and
then asks that he investigate
the deportation of the |. w. w. s
from the Bisbee camp, because
the lawful rights of our people
call for the equal protection of
the strong arm of the law. That
ought to make Wiley strong with
the I. w. WIS as their favorite
candidate for governor, and with
the support of the prohibitionists
he will be a formidable candi-
date. On prohibition Wiley is
most consistent. He believes in
putting whisky down.

The strike of the switchmen in
the terminal yards at Chicago,
which threatened to tie up the
traffic of the country, was settled
Monday morning by the men re-
turning to work. While the
press of the country do not men
tion the subject, it is understood
that the strike was brought to
an end by threats on the part of
the government that if the men
did not return to work they
would be drafted in the army.
and assigned to duty as switch
men. A bulletin to that effect
was sent over the wires Monday.

Our congressman are still de-
batting the food control bill, as to
whether we are to have one man
boss the job or a committee of
three. If Congress will just ad-
journ without doing anything
the food gamblers will see to it
that the price of food scars high
enough that the masses of the
people will have to conserve even
to the point of going hungry.

The |. w. w. agitators seem
to have lost their enthusiasm for
disturbing general labor condi-
tions in Arizona. Deporting
them by the train load can hard
ly be claimed as the legal way to
handle the proposition, but it
seems to have been most effica-
cious. Lynching that brute in
Phoenix a few weeks ago was
not according to the strict letter
of the law, but it seemed to meet
with popular approval. People
who would destroy law and order
are not entitled to the protection
of the law from the hands of an
outraged people. Mob law is the
righteous manifestation of pro-
test from a patient and long suf-
fering people disgusted with the
laxity of law enforcement.

What is a little matter like
the violation of the constitution
between friends? We have al
ways known that the laws of
Arizona are not considered bind
ing in Navajo county, but we did
think there was some reverence
for the constitution. Article
VII, Sect. Is, of the constitution
of the state says:
Every person elected or ap-
pointed to any office of trust or
profit under the authority of the
state, or any political division,
shall be qualified elector of the
political subdivision in which
said person shall be elected or
appointed"

The editor cannot be a soldier.
He carries too much weight for
his height according to govern
ment regulations, and his surcin-
gle measurement is not in har-
mony with his chest expansion.
In other words he is short on
lung power, and a bad risk for
the commissary that is practicing
food conservation.

A public officer in Arizona, un.
der our present law, who has
liquor in his possession, is either
a violator of the law, or an acces-
sorry to the violation of the law
by other parties, and in either
event should be removed by i'm
parchment. Public officers who
would violate the liquor law
would connive and wink at the
violation of any other law if there
was anything in it for him.

R. William Kramer, one time
a resident of'Flagstaff, but now
assistant attorney general at
Phoenix, is being mentioned as
the probable new appointee
as assistant secretary of the
interior. From being a book
keeper for Babbitt Bros. to being
assistant secretary of the interior
is some jump, but the possibili-
ties are unbounded for a hustling
Arizona boy if he will only keep
jumping. Too many boys, how
ever, belong to the class of the
shiftless urchin in school. The
teacher, in order to quicken the
ambitions of the lad, pictured to
him the possibilities of the life
before him, closing with the
statement that if he lived he
might be the President of the
United States. The lad replied,
20 hell, I'll live" Honors and
rewards do not come by just liv-
ing. They come with tolls and
privations, backed with zeal
for work and an ambition to sue
ceed. That is the reason there
is so much room at the top of the
ladder of fame.

Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, the
venerable editor of the Los An
geles Times, died suddenly last
Monday morning at the home of
his daughter. His newspaper,
one the greatest in the United
States, stands as a monument to
his virility and executive ability.
For years he has been the impla-
cable enemy of organized labor,
and this enmity he capitalized to
it's full value in advertising and
building up his newspaper, and
it is doubtful if there is a better
paying newspaper property in
the country than the Los Angeles
Times.

The government has decided
that all slackers found will be

Grating Coal Operators.

Alleging that coal barons
throughout the country have in
creased the price of soft coal
more than 81 a ton during the
past ten months, despite the fact
that the increased cost of mining
it is only 45 cents more ton, the
Wisconsin State Council of De-
fense has asked the Arizona
State Council of Defense to join
in demand that the government
take over all coal mining proper
ties.
In communication to the Ari-
zona State defense organization,
the Wisconsin State Council says
that the operators of coal mines
refuse to offer any satisfactory
reason for the highly increased
price of coal and show no DISPOSE
tion to reduce prices. The COM
munication says in part: soft
coal at the mines in Ohio. West
Virginia and Pennsylvania, at
the present time is being sold on
the average of about 81 per ton
more than the same kind of coal
was sold for in 1916. Thorough
investigation shows the total ex-
pense of mining the same coal,
including overhead expenses, is
about forty-fve cents per ton in
excess of the expense of 1916. :"

Resignation Requested.

Gov. Campbell has written tC
Adjutant General Harris re-
questing that gentleman to ten
der his resignation as Adjutant
General of the Arizona national
guard, but up to date Colonel
Harris has declined to vacate by
the resignation route. The gov
ernor set the time as August 1st
when Harris was to be severed
from his official title, and has sent
notice to the chief of militia af-
fairs at Washington.
The only reason assigned by
the Governor for asking for the
resignation was that after August
9Th the Arizona militia will pass
into the federal service, and
there will be no duties left for
an adjutant general except to sit
around the state house and draw
his per diem. Col. Harris, how
ever, takes the view that the
little amendment he had passed
through the last legislature pre-
scribing the qualifications of an
adiutant general. makes him the
only available appointee, and that
he is not subject to removal ex-
cept by court martial.
Col. Harris may be highly
qualified by military training to
discharge the duties of adjutant
general, but for the past two
years there has been trouble in
the ranks of the Arizona guard
growing out of the conduct of
the office under Col. Harris.
Whether he was right or wrong
we are not prepared to say, but
the internicene strife nearly dis
rupted the guards, and the effect
is being felt even to- day when
every effort has been made to
muster the 1st Arizona to full
war strength, which failed large
ly because the opinion has gone
forth that Col. Harris was using
his office for political purposes to
the detriment of the military
service.
Another matter that at least
casts a suspicion on the political
intriguing of Col. Harris was the
adroitly drawn bill amending the
military code prescribing such
qualifications for the adjutant
general that no other person but
himself was eligible to the place.
This one act would indicate that
Col. Harris was interested in the
national guard only for his own
selfish benefit. and was wholly
lacking in the mental and patrio-
tic breadth to hold such a respon-
sible position.
A year ago the Winslow Mail
suggested to Gov. Hunt that for
the good of the service he should
demand the resignation of Col.
Harris, not that he was guilty of
any wrong, but because under
him all hope Of establishing har-
monious relations with the rank
and file had faded, and the main
tenance of the guard was more
important than keeping Col.
Harris in office.
Gov. Cambell made his mistake
in not removing Col. Harris i'm
mediately upon assuming his
duties of Governor, and had he
done so then the 1st Arizona
would to-day be recruited to full
war strength and be one of the
first regiments ready to enter
the federal service. The opinion
has gone out generally over the
state that politics was a controll-
ing factor under the administra-
ton of Col. Harris, and it was
impossible to create any enthu-
siasm among the young men to
enlist in the service.

dent OF schools of Richmond. acting
under an opinion yesterday rendered
oy the assistant attorney general.
Leslie G. Garrett. will consider the APP
peal OF r. N. Thomas, former instruo-
! tor at Bellevue Prevocational school.
VINO was dismissed by the city school
board on February 3. The opinion was
OBTAINED by Superintendent r. C..
stearnes, of the department OF public
instruction. at the request of DR..
Chandler. who refused to hear the ap.
peal OF Mr.. Thomas until legal ruling
had established his right to do so.
, DIR. Chandler. in writing to Mr..
Stearnes. declared that he questioned
his jurisdiction In the matter of hear
ing the appeal because Of that section
or the code. which, it would appear.
made II necessary for any dismissed
teacher to take his case to the courts
In the matter Of a contract. and that 1t
is held under the school regulations
that an appeal to the superintendent
would be granted to any teacher or
school officer. Mr.. Thomas has been
dismissed. and consequently could not
now be considered teacher.
Case Raises New Point.
The case at this time is interesting
as the points raised in the request for
an appeal have never been decided in
the school laws of the state. After
hearing the appeal DIR. Chandler may
reinstate Mr.. Thomas or uphold the
board as he deems proper. II the
result is unfavorable to Thomas he
may appeal to the state superintendent,
and the whole thing would again be
threshed out before the state board
OF education, OF which Or. Chandler is
n member.
The points raised by Or. Chandler,
and the reply by Assistant Attorney
General Garnett, are as follows:
My reasons for raising the question
of my Jurisdiction are First-The
school board acted under section 1888
of the code. which, in my Judgment
gives full power to the school board
to employ or dismiss a teacher, and
any question which may be raised as
to the action Of the school board In
the matter of n contract would nat
ura1ly go to the courts under the gen
eral statutes relating to contracts
Second--It is also n question as 10
whether il is within my jurisdiction
as division superintendent to hear the
fact that he is no longer a teacher In
the system. since regulation So grants
the right of appeal to amy teacher or
