 As Truck F ire

TEMPE, July H.-Milk is rather an expensive fluid to utilize for the purpose of extinguishing blaze, but last Sunday when truck belonging to the Pacific Creamery company caught fire on the Mesa road about three miles east of the creamery, the driver, [. E. Stafford, com nandeered some 50 gallons of milk which he was hauling, to put out the flames. The damage, including the loss of the milk, amounted to about 3150. it is estimated.
 According to Stafford, the fire resulted when the engine repeatedly back-fired, overheating the exhaust pipe. He did not discover the blaze until it had gained considerable headway and he himself barely es- l. caped injury of burns.
 No water being handy, Stafford immediately utilized the mIk he was hauling to extinguish the flames

"Cleveland Street"

The Republican is not party organ. It has no call therefore to defend the republican party against attacks made upon it and it is not now engaged in such defense except incidentally in the course of clearing up a record. It would cheerfuly do this if the democratic party the socialist party made the beneficiary.
 We printed communication yesterday morning from pr. H. A. Hughes protesting against the with holding from the late President Cleveland an honor which the city of Phoenix has extended all other presidents the United States naming the extending and after them The doctor at tributes the fact that there Cleveland street to the partisanship of the republican party.
 Before proceeding farther we want to agree with the doctor and pay tribute to Mr Cleveland of the greatest of American presidents Only few of them, and very few, have been of so broad vision courageous, steadfast and honest as Mir Cleveland If he had been more of small politician he would have had smoother bed but he would not have had so large place in the history of his try he and will always have We also agree with doctor Phoenix missing lot of honor for itself by having Cleveland street.

The Subject of Criticism

We trust our democratic friends have not mis- understood the inactivity for the last three weeks, of the federal administration, the only agency earth with power to deal legally and regu- larly with the disorders for which the l. w. w responsible in the mining camps of Arizona. We have erred, in the opinion of some of friends in having criticised the administration inaction by finding similarity it's in the Arizona situation with it's course in the Mexican trouble and in negotiations with Germany This is treason but good Americansm, the kind that congress preserved when it defeated the censorship clause of the espion age bill.
 The Republican, from the date of the first inaug uration of Mir Wilson has generally supported the policies the president, but it, with the whole in dependent press of the country, has reserved the right criticise his foreign policies but criticism in which The Republican and other independent journals have nduged has been bitter and so elo quent the comment of the administration itself in wholly reversing it's policies from time to time.
 Notice has been given by practically every nde- pendent journal in the country that it would crtcise the administrators conduct of the if deserving of criticism and the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers friendly to the president and before the censorship provision disposed of. declared that they would exercise that privilege. censorship censorship.
 The Republican pointed out that the state is pow erless to enforce order the mining counties cannot enforce it. It has been enforced at least temporarily, at Bisbee but it has not been enforced either Globe Clifton. At the former there is force of United States troops whose only authority is to pro- tec property but not the of those who want to go to work.
 To that and that is the chief extent, the W. w dominating both camps and have done for month
 We think, therefore, that the federal government has been derelct in dealing with matter in which its interest is hardly second to that of Arizona But have the highest regard for the president his honesty of purpose and his courage, but cannot share the views of of friends that the ad- minstration is a sacred bird and beyond criticism.

Stop the Waste of Wheat

The way to stop the waste of wheat is to de- mand the whole wheat grain in all breadstuffs and breakfast foods In other words, the way to the wheat is to eat whole wheat. The whole country the necessity for preventing the of the staple foods. The government has started a reaching campaign wheat acreage and stimulate the production of necessary foods This movement will have the support of all loyal Americans
 In such time this however, there are all sorts of ill advised movements and all sorts of insane mo- tons as to what Americans ought to do. We mpusive people We chase pell mell after some self constituted leader without knowing what he stands for and without examining the facts. One writer declares that "a million women have signed pledge to eat one wheatess meal day.
 We suppose "a million women have done nothing of the kind If they have it is very unwise and ill., advised sensible thing for American do just is to demand the whole wheat in all their breadstuffs It is estimated that hun dred and fifty million bushels of wheat wasted every year by failure to utilize the whole wheat grain in flour and breakfast foods Now is the time to stop this colossal waste of great American food staple
 The whole wheat is the most perfect food given to Corn and oats good wholesome foods. but it is not necessary for the American household to abandon it's staff of life" There is plenty of wheat for Americans and allies if the Americans will only demand whole wheat.
 When MT. Hoover is installed food controller doubt his first will be to "standardize' wheat flour This means that he will issue an order requir ing the of larger percentage of the whole wheat grain in flour and all breadstuffs, the Eng land and France have done. In the meantime the American housewife help along the good work by demanding the whole wheat in all breadstuffs. There is no need cutting out wheat from break fast. dinner supper

The Picket Line

We have received from the Suffragist copy of editorial lately printed by that journal under the head of "The Indomitable Picket Lne' referring that obstruction of traffic in front of the White House, where members of the womens party day after day hold lovely banners of purple, white and gold bearing the demand of women for political free dom" It is reflection upon the lack of aesthetic of the police of Washington that this oveliness this glorious combination of colors do appeal them
 'It is without a doubt" says the Suffragist. the finest service a do for the country, to take her place today in the womens picket line" But what is the reward the result of that service? The pckets to get nowhere except into the police court and then the jail. They to have aroused tempt.
 Continues the Suffragst: "In the civil war-the last conflict that really shook the nationonly two women were faithful to the of woman suffrage Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Now tens of thousands of hold support demanding women's services to do women common justice"
 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton found in a picket line but by their dignity and earnestness they commanded the respect of generation much hostile than the present one to equal suffrage. They were given respectful hearing such they would never have received if they had resorted the spectacular tactics of the who devised the picket line.
