Experienced
 Man for
 Governor

The old idea that a public office is a chattel to be banded hither and yon with each election is rapidly giving way to the more sane application oi the elementary rules of ordinary busi- ness which declare that man who knows his trade and can secure the best results is the man to retain.
 The business of running the state of Arizona is a big job. It requires knowledge of conditions and people; keen business insight, and ability of high order. The business manager (Governor) of a state must be close buyer and clever salesman. He must see to it that his boss (the people, arc fully protected If he attends to the business of the job he will have little time to waste on building political fences and developing personal grudges.
 According to the propaganda being issued by Sidney r. Osborn, who wants to be governor of Arizona, one of the chief reasons why he should be nominated at the September primaries is because he "has been associated with the conduct of the state of Ari- Zona ever since it has been state and before. He was a member of the constitutional convention which framed the magma charta under which we are now living. He was born and reared in the state. He knows it and he knows it's needs and it's people. He has been secretary of state, and act ing governor. He has shown himself capable executive, and has special ized in the very things most needed to give the people of the state busi- ness administration"
 "Why experiment ?" he asks. "Why take on an untried skipper when there is a seasoned pilot at hand?"
 This, of course, is political argu- ment, and is intended to influence votes.
 "But," Osborn concludes his appeal, 'isn't it the truth ?"

A Legitimate Kick

Gas and oil is liable to ruin the Holbrook country for ranch purposes. Gas sometimes locates the oil, but the Holbrook News be- lieves that too much gas will over-do the oil business. AL so that holes in the ground to tap the oil will accomplish more than holes in the air to drop suckers into special pro- moter traps. The oil boom at Holbrook was started on legitimate grounds. There is no doubt but what there is oil in that country; eX- perts have investigated and have found every good indi- cation, but actual money and drill holes in the ground will be required to prove the ground. The fool thing to do is to ''prove in advance all the millions of gallons of oil they have got" before the ground has been tested. A "boomer" may get away with a few dollars, but he is more apt to wreck good, le- gitimate propositions, much to the detriment of the whole section of the country. Flagstaff Sun.

Dye Made From Shdle Oil

Near Kemmerer, Wyo.. a rosewood colored dye is being extracted as a by-product of shale oil. c. E. McGregor. of the Green River Oil Shale & Refining Co.,, discovered it al- most accidentally while engaged in putting the shale through a retorting process. He tested the coloring matter and found it to be adaptable to commercial uses, apparently. Additional experiments are in progress to further test the dye, and it is probable that a new industry will result in connection with shale oil production. The Oil 6 Gas Journal.

London, Tuesday, Sept. l0.-A troop
ship with $500 American soldiers on
board has been torpedoed All hands
were saved. The troopship was beached.
In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats, the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which swarmed
around the stricken vessel and came
close alongside This operation was
greatly facilitated by the fact that the
sea was not rough.
The troopship was member of a
large convoy approaching the English
coast. The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore at o'clock on Friday
afternoon
The transfer Of the American soldiers
from the stricken vessel to escortng
British and American torpedo boat de-
stroyers was quickly made without in.
jury to anyone.
They all escaped injury when the tor
pedo exploded and they were soon on
their way to British port.
There was no sign of panic on board
and the admirable behavior Of the men
was especially gratifying to the officers.
Many of the troops came from Chicago
and Cleveland and large percentage of
them were factory hands of foreign ex-
traction Their behavior proved that
they had assimilated the true spirit of
the American soldier.
Several soldiers told the Associated
Press that they saw the German subma-
rine lifted clear out Of the water after
one Of the depth bombs exploded and
then entirely disappear Something had
gone wrong with the troopship's engines
which compelled her for a time TO lag
behind the rest of the convoy, but the
trouble had been fixed up and she was
fast catching up with the other trans
ports when torpedo hit her just for
ward OF the engine room.
The vessel at once began TO sink by
the bow, Many Of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths They did not
wait to dress, but made for the deck
with what little clothing they could
hastily lay their hands on The water
was rushing in at such rate that il
was thought the steamer would quickly
founder
To the surprise of most Of the soldiers
the troopship did not sink Some means
apparently were found to check the in.
rush Of the water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached. 1t is
hoped that the vessel ultimately can be
salyaged.
