however, might have been suspected from that con-

1t is fact. though that the plans for the capitol

twice much room the present building which
more than ample for the needs of the territory

great wing to be built on the west and
what is called the second floor The architect how
ever, regarded that the first floor. The one below
designated the basement
The building so far as 1t has been constructed is
one Of which all Arizonians proud not only on
account Of its beauty but OF its
esty 1t has been said that in all the immense pile
there is not dollar of graft waste 1t cost $l1o-
600 and has been said be the best building in the
United States for the money
But 1t has grown small or the business of the
state has grown too large Every nook and Granny
has been filled with office or another and cages
and cubby holes have been made to encroach upon
the corridors
Though a beautiful building for which we have
lost none Of pride it lacks something of impress
siVeness The approach the east front as planned
originally would add much in that respect and the
carrying out of the plans the eliminate

Since the capitol constructed there has been a
great deal Of public building going all over the
country, and there are many counties whose court
houses present more majestic appearance In our
own state Yavapai will shortly have court house
which will dwarf it in appearance If not in size

The FLIGHT Of Peace

The reply of the allies may be said to slam
shut lock the door of peace AS matter OF fact
it was not opened or unlocked. Germany had merely
suggested peace through peep-hoe without opening
the door, probably with expectation that 1t would
be opened at the instance Of the allies There could
hardly have been reasonable hope that the German
proposal for a peace conference would be entertained
The bare proposal with German armies all on the soil
Of the enemy and with Germany boasting of its ri-
umph them, they must indeed have been weary
of the war and hopeless of its issue they could
been brought to second the proposal Nothing less
than the certain face could have warranted
them in accepting it offered ground for con-
ference. To have entered into would have been
an acknowledgment of defeat.
On the other hand the unnecessary statement Of
the terms on which the allies would make peace &C
companying the reply to the German proposal means
that the war viii so indefinitely until one side or
the other is exhausted and exhaustion is not
nearly as apparent it seemed year ago.
The resources OF the allies are abundant, though
is suffering from lack of power. In that
respect Great Britain is rich long as it maintains
the loyalty of its dependencies. AS to the Russian
numbers, it has so far turned that the Of
them in the field the bigger the mob and the more
killed captured Russia has far served
only the attention and victories Of greatly
inferior Teuon forces while the allies baterng
against the western stone wall.
But there is possibility that Russia will some
time learn to fight Charles XII of Sweden taught
that country the art Of by inflcting series Of
defeats upon it. 1t nine years between Narva and
Poltava between the time when Peter the Great
began to learn to fight and the time when he crushed
his great instructor.
Though the resources of the Central Powers
limited in comparison with those Of the entente they
in much favorable position than they have
been since September Of 1914. There appears to be
dearth Of man power and the conquest Of Rumania
has rendered the food and supply problems much
simple.
If there is REASON why the allies should have
entertained the bald peace proposal there is yet
reason why the Germans should surrender the fruits
they have ganered in the last two and half years.
