With rebelions against German tyranny in Ukraine and
other Russian provinces the great autocrat who started out
to rule the world is having troubles that are likely to
increase as the German army is driven back from the
western front. Strikes in Germany are breaking out occa-
sionaly and only the slaughter of the men, women and
children who demand more food prevents a general
uprising against the Beast of Berlin"

There are many methods of profiteering during the war.
but if one is more despcable than another it is that of
the men who devote their time to finding fault with the
administration, pointing out the mistakes that have been
made and selling their denunciations of the administration
which is carrying a load no other administration in the
history of the United States has carried, to inscriptions
newspapers for fabulous rates.

Representation on Juries

A democratic exchange, induging in comment the result Of the libel case in which Governor Hunt complaining witness against Colonel Breen ad- judges the affair have been what is technically known "dog-fal' inasmuch as there was no four jurymen for conviction and eight for ac- quittal the vote indicates the political sentiments the twelve jurorsfour wehe Hunt men and eight were ant-Hunt men, republicans and democrats. This sumption is a reflection upon the integrity the jury implying disregard of the oaths of the members
 While jury system is by means all it should be think there is large proportion of any jury unless packed jury, that have some regard for their oaths though they not always able dismiss their prejudices restrain their sympathies.
 The really interesting thing about this matter establishing the identity of the dissenting four if it is not already well known. It has been stated that when the attorneys for the defense to look over the special panel of twenty they were astounded to find that ten of them were socialists That was in which socialists especially undesirable rather undesred by the defense The defense also could exercise but six peremptory challenges So if of the ten excused for cause or otherwise there four of them left
 If this representative collection of cand- dates for jury service representative and at the same time proportionate the socialist party has increased amazingly in this county since the last plebiscte and if this ratio of increase is maintained until the polls close next Tuesday night, there will be some surprises for both republican and democratic cand- dates

A Remarkable Campaign Document

The democratic state central committee of the "Coter for Governor Club" do not know which, is circulating campaign document which may be right fully denomnated a peach" It purports to former Governor Campbell of extravaganza. It sets out the biennial appropriations that have been made by the legislatures since the admission of Arizona to stathood. Naturally, these appropriations grown keeping pace with the growth of the state. All of them but one the last one, made during the ad- ministraton of Governor Hunt The last under his administration about 100 per cent greater than the first one-that think getting rather ahead of the states growth. However, no one had been insane to hold the governor responsible for these appropriations which he could only control by an exercise of the veto power.
 The last appropriation made within the ncum- bency of Mr. Campbell It naturally exceeded the last previous appropriation any other previous one That fact is charged in document against Governor Campbell
 Tine legislature which made this appropriation was democratic, much that it almost unani- mously democratic. We believe that only four of the thirty-fve members of the house were republicans and only three of the nineteen members of the senate
 Assuming that the appropriation a wasteful and the document does assert that it was Gov Campbell would not have had much of a chance of making a veto stick.
 If this campaign document is an arraignment of anybody anything it is arraignment of the great democratic majority the Third legislature of which Mr. Colter and is a member and was supporter of that appropriation.

thousands of dollars. The taxpayers have been bied steadily to strengthen the party in power The most conspicuous example have of the operation of the contract system is aforded in the progress of the work the wing of the capitol building which was begun several months age. A small army of has been almost continuously employed there since and the basement of the wing is not yet quite finished The capitol building in its present shape cost, we believe, $135OOO This wing small structure in comparison will in all probability cost a great deal than that.
 The argument in favor of the abolition of the system that it would keep the work until finished the control of the state authorities and they could exercise their preference for particular class of workers. say, class which had supported the administration and was still counted upon to perpetuate it. Something is due the taxpayers well as to a favored class of working men,
 This bill to restore the contract system and to abolish sinful of the public funds passed by the present legislature and naturally the referendum was invoked by the favored class of workingmen and the politicians who depend upon their support.

An Address by Former Presidents

The Joint address of Colonel Roosevelt and former President Taft directed only the members of Tho republican party but at all Americans, democrats as well as republicans who yet believe in the repre- sentative form of government. There would not have tccn. ot course such address-it would not have appeared To bc needed but for President Wilson's ap- peal thc voters of an parties in which he ignored congress coordinate branch of the government.
 Tho president did not it is true advise the aboli- tion of congress, but he did the thing when he urged the election of congress which would be wholly sabscryout to him and would permit him to dictate .v vsu as execute all national legislation
 Perhaps the reverse effect the presidents state mont win have upon the American voters that is re- lubIcans and democrats who are Americans first and rsrtIsans afterward will be all that was necessary t' ca attention 10 the rapid slipping away of repre- s.Hatvc government in this country. But the address .f Che two former presidents will cnch that effect ul make t planer to the that the ground has roeu slipping within the last eighteen months while neir attention was focused on the most terrible and most splendid spectacle spread before human eyes
 1f Colonel Roosevelt and AIr. Taft were addressing alone tho members the republican party it would be
 powerful and effective appeal for undoubtedly the republicans are in an overwhelming majority in the northern and western states where the changes are to occur that will transfer the the house of representatives 10 the republicans.
 The loss of tho house as well of republican domi- nance In Tho nation was consequence of the diverg- eneo between these leaders who are now solidly together on basis of repubcanism in the meaning of that word, both with reference party and with reference to the form of the American government
 As have said, though, the address is not an appeal to party. But if it were democratic parsans, from mc president down. would be estopped from criticism

FARMERETTES

They are through with suffragettns They have laid aside their knitting; They are gaily farmerettng Where the butterflies are fitting And the wiggly wooliy caterpillar feeds When the little meadow. sparrows
 Chirp their morning obligatos In the vegetable marrows
 And the turnips and tomatoes They are waging deadly warfare on the weeds And they'll bring a finer order
 To the pleasant rural places; They will trim the garden border
 Wash the cauliflowers' faces And improve the heifer's quarters in the she'd Oh, they'll fill the land with brightness And the bull will cease to below; And they'll teach the pig politeness
 And with dtties soft and mellow They will put the young asparagus to bed.

The Arizona school system is not what it ought to b. We arc accustomed to think that We have an ad- vanced system. We have been saying so among our selves until we have to believe it. As a matter of fact our rural school system is far from what it should be in efficiency. We have it is true some ex ceent city schools, such those of Phoenix Tucson and Bsbee. but they good in spite of the state system.
 national commission last summer issued a report of a survey Of the Arizona school system No Ar- zouan has read that report with pride He gathers from t that the Baby state in educational matters .s the most backward of all the states The entire system is found to be wrong. It is recommended among other things, to right it. that the schools be taken out of politics in which they are wallowing. Many other recommendations, looking to modernitv were made by the national commission.
 Such recommendations had been made before by local schoomen, long before the survey was contem plated but they could bring the legislature or the school authorities to entertain them Mir H E Matthews the republican candidate for superintendent of public instruction was among those who tried to have our school modernized. If Mir Matthews sboud he elected next Tuesday long step would have been taken toward moderny. If he or any superintendent should go before the legislature with such recom- mcndaton it would receive attention.
 NIT. Matthews is not politician; he does not be-
 Ne that inc school authorities should be elected or snolected in any way 10 political control He offers himself for election since under the constitution there 's no other way in which school authorities can bo chosen.
 There Is no better moro up-to- date schooman in Arizona than he college man. he came to Arizona Yen years ago After teaching fin other parts of it he came Co Phoenix and became principal of the Central school Later he was in charge of the Adams street school For the last two years he has had the direc uon or the Mesa schools. Wherever MT.

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

By J. B. Lodwick. Don't rock the boat as on we float, There's danger everywhere On sea or land, on every hand, There's trouble, oh, beware! But be submissive to the power That guides the boat along. Keep cool and pacify the crowd; Don't slur, for that is wrong. Don't rock the boat as on we float, Be quiet understand The worlds wide interests are at stake, The crisis is at hand. Be passive, tolerate the strain, Avoid calamity. Perceive there's dangers all around; From them we must keep free. Rush on the boat and let it float, The dangers passed away; We have the Hun now on the run, For now we have our day. We'll keep the towards running on
 Until they reach Berlin, And there they'll meet their sad defeat And suffer for their sin. Rush on the boat and let it float,
 There is no room for peace. Let kaiser drink his bitter cup
 Until the murderers cease. Stern justice proves there is no cause for such a sacrifice, And will demand at every hand
 That they must pay the price.
