ANTI-CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS A
FLAT FAILURE.

Last fall before there had been any
question of special session Of the
legislature the increase in the num-
ber of killings throughout the state
since the abolition of capital punish
ment had become SO apparent that
the Arizona Gazette secured figures
from the clerks of the courts through
out the state for the purpose of COM
parison. The number of killings COM
mitted in each county for the last
nine months of 1916, during
which time we had capital pun
ishment, and the first nine
months of 1917, during which we had
no capital punishment, were secured
and comparison showed an alarming
increase under the law that provided
merely Imprisonment for murder.
In the nine months that have fol-
lowed this increase has become even
more alarming, many OF the most re
Voting crimes being still fresh in the
memory of all of us. However, the
figures for the period from Oct. I.
1917, to the present time are not
available, but the previous figures OBJ
tanned are. Following are the num-
ber of murders occurring in the sew
eral counties during the last nine
months of 1916 and the first nine
months of 1917:

FEELING RUNS HIGH,

PHOENIX, June 11.-That a feud
between the Pemberton and Holmes
families may result from the killing
Of Oscar and William Pemberton by
J. T. Holmes Sunday afternoon is the
fear Of the officers. Every precaution
is being taken, however, to safeguard
against further trouble.
Considerable feeling has been ar
Oused as the result of the double kill
ing, as was evidenced at the coroner's $
inquest held in Justice Cummings
court at Tempe Monday afternoon.

Eased His Conscience.

Dean Buckland when at WeStmin-
ster used to tell curious story of a
brown paper parcel which he received
one day by post. After many wrap
pings had been unfolded he found a
small black splinter of oak about an
inch and half long The writer of
the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was boy,
many years before. he had chipped the
splinter off the coronation chair. AS
age advanced his conscience grew trOu-
bleSOme, and he asked the dean to be
its place.-Pall Mall Gazette.

POST-BELLUM TRADE

British Committee Decides Against Elk.
GLIDING Enemy Commerce After
the War.

London. May 3.-rhe interim report
of the committee on trade after the
war, of which Baron Balfour OF Burieigh
is chairman, says:
ANY genera prohibition of exports to
present enemy countries after the war
would be impracticsble and inexpedient-"
The report deals with the treatment Of
exports from the United Kingdom and
British overseas possessions and the con-
servstion Of the resources of the empire
during the transitional period after the
war. The report declares the present
system of rationing neutral countries is
impracticable and inexpedient, but adds;
THE Paris resolution can be carried
into effect if the policy of joint control
of certain important commodities can be
agreed upon between the allies and the
empire for the transitional period. Any
measures should aim at securing priority
for the requirements of the British en-
pire and its allies to materials which
mainly are derived from those countries
and required by them
The committee considers this policy
should be applied by prohibiting certain
exports except under license.

Arthur G.. Greene is certainly a.
Crawford county product, for he has
resided in Crawford county all his
life. He is in the prime of life and
just ripe for the office he seeks. He
has been an efficient officer of the
city of Denison, which has given him
valuable training for the office Of
sheriff. If there is a man in the coun-
ty who questions his ability to con-
duct the affairs of the office, we do
not know him. -g. ..& Ill
While we have only the kindliest
feelings for his opponent, whom we
know to be a man of honor and abil-
ity, it does seem that. after serving
so many years at the public crib he
would be willing to step aside, espe-
cially when there is another man in
the field at least his equal in every
way. 1t is not our intention to be-
smirch the good name of the oppos-
ing candidate, for we would sicken
of the job, but justice to our republi.

mands that we say, without fear of
contradiction, that Arthur G. Greene
is the equal in every respect to the
man who has hung on so long and
we'll to the office of sheriff of Craw-
ford county. If the Office is burden
to the man, he should not be punish
ed and forced to carry the burden
longer, but if it is good thing, why
not pass it along?
Arthur G. Green did not decide to
seek the office until he sought the ad-
vice of many of our best citizens, and
they, knowing the man, advised him
to become a candidate, for they be-
lieved that the county needed just
such man, who would conduct the
office without fear or favor From all
sections of the county men have vol
unteered their support to the >candi-
