The Law Library.

1t is not often we hold post
mortem on the dead, but in order
to keep history straight we feel
it duty to cs the attention of |
the people to the circular letter
issued by Judge Sapp election
morning headed, 1.-The Truth
About the Law Library Lie. +" To
get some idea of the truth in the
circular we take the following
paragraph as sample; This is
all ancient history, and my action
was fully endorsed by the elect
ors four years ago at the polls.
This it such a remarkable bare
faced lie that to let it pass un-
noticed would forever gum the
wheels of Navajo county's his
tory. The law library deal that
has worried Judge Sapp, and re-
suited in his defeat in the elec-
tion Tuesday, was put through
at the meeting of the board of
supervisors in January, 1916, so
it was impossible for the voters
to have endorsed his action four
years ago when he was a candi-
date. When Judge Sapp put out
that circular he simply lied. He
was not mistaken, because he
we'll knew when the deal was put
over. This year is the first time
the people have had the opportu-
nifty to express their approval
of the transaction, and the fact
that he was defeated demon
strates he did not fool the voters
with his lying circular.
The Winslow mail., 1918-11-08

The state council of defense
have heard from the national
council of defense on the ques-
ton of compelling merchants to
mark the cost as we'll as the SELL
ing price of each article they Of
fer for sale, and they approve of
the action of the state council at
their October meeting in refus-
ing to pass the order. The ma
tional council takes the very SEN
sible view that the plan is i'm
practicable, and no benefits
would be derived from the en-
forcement of such a rule. Per-
haps Homer Wood will now take
the position that the national
council are band of organized
traitors to the cause of labor, and
will pound the table and talk
loud.
The Winslow mail., 1918-11-08

Gradually the Central Powers
are having the intelligence shot
into them by the Allied armies
that the democracy of the world
is not irridescent dream, but a
stern reality they must face and
acknowledge. Austria is the last
one to make unconditional sur
render, and now the Kaiser and
his militarists are left to carry
on the struggle alone, and is ex-
pected Germany will accept the
terms of peace prepared for her
and now being considered. The
closing of hostilities will stop
further sacrifices of life and de-
struction of property, but it will
take the allied armies a year or
two to restore tranquil conditions
in the European territories that
have been engaged in the strug-
gle. There will be making of
a new map of Europe when the
war is over, and the representa-
tives of the Allied powers assem-
BILE around the peace table. Nu-
merous little principalities that
for years have been in the power
of Germany and Austria now see
their opportunity to gain their
freedom and independence, and
they are not going to be slow in
asking for the justice to which
they are entitled and which has
been so long delayed.
The Winslow mail., 1918-11-08

The returns from over the
country indicate that the repub-
licans have succeeding in secur-
ing control of Congress, and pos
sibly the Senate also. This is a
good indication that the republi-
can party, which has been SO
sadly demoralized by internecine
strife for the past eight years, is
beginning to awaken to their
past follies, and are aligning up
solidly under the party banner.
1t means that in the next presi-
Dental election the republicans
will be victorious, with all the
western states returning to the
fold.

We owe an apology to the
Huns. A couple of weeks ago
we remarked that the Huns would
need a twenty mile start for Ber-
lin if they expected to get there
for the finish when the Ameri-
cans get started after them. The
Americans have made the start,
but the news dispatches from
oversee tell us even the cavalry
cannot catch up with the Hun,
which indicates that he is a bet
ter foot-racer than a fighter.

Superior Judge Crosby.

The people of Navajo county
have said by their votes that they
wanted to purify the judicial at
mosphere of this county, and Mr..
j. E. Crosby has been elected to
the office of superior judge over
the most powerful political or
ganization ever effected to save
Judge Sapp from defeat. The
fine record of Mr.. Crosby, and
his known integrity, and legal
ability, was too we'll known to be
overcome.
Judge Crosby will enter upon
his duties fully advised that the
people as a whole expect only
that he will administer the duties
of his office fairly and lmpartially
at all times, keeping his court
free from any charge of .favort-
ism, and adhering strictly to the
law in all matters coming before
him. That he will do this none
will doubt who know him, and he
can be assured of the support
and confidence of the citizens to
sustain his conduct along these
lines.
The legal fraternity of the
state who practice in the court
in this comfy will find in Judge
Crosby a man of fine judicial
temperament, a logical mind. and
spirit of comradeship that be-
speaks for them courteous treat
ment free from personal bias or
prejudice. There will be no gross
usurpation of power by Judge
Crosby, and there will be no play
ing for personal and political ad,
vantages.
Judge Crosby will honor the
bench, and the bench is honored
in having such a man as Judge
Crosby.
The Winslow mail., 1918-11-08

President Wilson has not ele-
waited himself in the public es-
TEEN by his personal appeal tc
democrats to defeat republican
congressman and elect democrats,
because republicans are not sup
porting him in this war. The re-
cord shows that if it had not
been for the support he received
from the republicans this country
would never have taken it's place
in the war for the overthrow of
the Prussianlsm. Republican SEN
ators and congressman have vot-
ed for every measure Mr.. Wilson
has presented to Congress, even
when their judgment told them
it would be better if the bill did
not pass, simply to maintain ma
tional solidarity against the Ger
man autocracy. Fortunately in
a republic where every voter is
a king the President has no more
influence than any other citizen
in controlling the franchise, and
the result of the elections prove
conclusively that President Will
sons personal partisan appeal
was not productive of the results
he desired. The President of the
United States should rise above
the standard of a ward politician.
The republican voters in this
country are just as loyal to the
government, and just as patriotic
in every good work as are the
democrats, and the gratuitous in
suit from the President reflect
ing on them has been answered
in the elections.
