GOVERNOR FALL HET UP"

WHlie tne eultor Ol the Oun ueplOTeS the notoriety of being called into court and compelled to defend him. self on charge of criminal libel, we are willing to stand on the court rec ord as to the truth of the statement related to us by Prof. Lawrence, in which he said Gov. Hunt said ito hell with the war" When eight men out of twelve--all unknown to the de- fendant, will stand pat twenty four hours tor acquittal, we are inclined to believe the people are satisfied as to the statement.
 The record wlii show that there was democratic judge, democratic county attorney and Jury composed ot ten democrats.
 The governor when asked if he be- heved the l. w. W. to be a disloyal organizatlon, declared he was unable to say. The court record shows let ters written l. W. W. members, one especially will show the whole inside workings of the governors mind. 1t is the now famous 'Dear Mike letter, as follows:
 Executive Office, State House, Phoenix, Arizona, August 16th, 1915. My Dear Mike:
 ''l was very glad to get your letter of August 3rd, and sorry you can not return to Arizona this Fall and plan to take part in the campaign. 1t is going to be very warm here in that particular and yesterday Mir. w. A. Moeur withdrew from the gubernato- rial race leaving Fred Colter, Sidney Osborn, Fred Sutter and Lamar Cobb. Of course, living in Bisbee and being deported from that camp, you can re- alize how you would feel with Sutter, the abject tool of the corporations, and, who l understand, took part in the deportations, in the Governors chair. He now has the nerve and au- dacity to come forward and ask the suffrage of the people of Arizona. Every time 1 think of it get all het up and then l think that Mir. Osborn is not much better, because a short time ago, when l was in California, my chauffeur was driving him around, and he remarked to another man who was in the car that MOONEY OUGHT TO HANG, and he also does not be- lieve in experimenting; in fact think he is just as subservient a tool as Sutter and I BELIEVE THE MAN WHO REALLY REPRESENTS PRO- GRESSIvE DEMOCRACY IS FRED GOLFER.
 "You know conditions here in Ari- zona as we'll as the rest of us. The corporations have the help of the sub- sidized press, the reptile press it is now being called, and they are doing all they can to help seat their tools in office.
 q am very glad that the old lady from Ireland is coming here and hope shall have the pleasure of hear ing her and if l have an opportunity to meet her shall recall the incident when I saw her in Bisbee.
 "With assurance of my friendship,
 SGEo. W. P. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona. "Mr. M. c. Sullivan,
 "318 N. Wyoming St.,
 Butte, Mont"
 "Dear Mike was one of the I. w. w. deported from Bisbee; "the old lady from Ireland" is "Mother Jones'" one of the organizers of that element.
 To show the attitude of the gover- nor it is a matter of record that a German alien enemy by the name of Kastner was registered as such and gave his address as the home of Gov ernor Hunt; Hunt afterwards went on his bond, put him on as a guard at the penitentiary contrary to the laws

As the President has been beaten by his own party in the Senate on the suffrage question, 1t might be ad- visable for him to change his politi- cal tactics and insist upon Republi- can Congress that will "stand by the President" It is rather difficult to find the Democratic party settled any where on any question except that of public jobs.-Exchange.

Lieut.. Tom Maddock of Coconino county, is not exactly standing be- hind the president, but is standing on the front line over in France; he did not get a political commission as Lowenthal did, he was examined as to merit before he was even given a lieutenant's commission.
The Coconino sun., 1918-10-25

The democratic leaders of the House seem to think that because they made such poor record in support of a vigorous war program they should be reelected so they can correct their mistakes. But not many voters who believe in an aggressive war policy will agree with them.
The Coconino sun., 1918-10-25

Stand behind the President" is a great catch word just now among a lot of democrats who want the voters to forget who they are personally, long enough to vote for them; then you can stand where you durned please. They hope that the president will help them out in this extremity, by his record-not their record.

Col. Rogers says that our libel suit was being defended by Judge Camp bell, Judge Doe and Judge Sloan and the reptile press and that we were being prosecuted by E. M. Lacey, county attorney of Maricopa county. This man Lacey" whoever he may be, is not the county attorney and the reptile press" is just as visionary as Lacey.

 We down here in this town have enough to do with our own municipal election without bothering our heads much about the Hartford campaign, but after reading the arguments pre- sented by each party in support of it's candidate we must say that if election day is anything like March 2sth, they'll have fine weather for it.

German Opinion of the irish.

NIdttIStil. IN. J., NSWS)
 German love for the Irish was born of expediency.
 The inperial government looked upon Ireland as a desirable base Of operations and upon the Irish people as fitting mediums for the advance ment of Germany's plans.
 Bernstorff recomm ended intensive cultivation of the spirit of unrest exhibited by the Irish and to that end urged that money and influence be exerted by German eneissaries in this country as well as in Ireland
 Easement was gu1led into tal1inc action that cost him his life and with the exception of riotirg. led by that body of frreconcilables which has ever afflicted Ireland, German plot ting proved abortive.
 German propaganda failed as re- gards Ireland and no wonder
 The profession of friendship and comradeship expressed at that time for Ireland by Germany was too paip- ably part of the German game.
 The true German opinion of the Irish may be gathered from the fcl~ lowing extract cullod from the great German encyclopedia. the Conversa~ tions- Lexicon of Meyer
 Tho character of the genuine Irish is a singular mixture of opposite traits; many of them. no doubt de- veloped by their unfortunate history The main feature Of the Irish is in consistency and thoughtlessness though they possess such characters are as compatible with these vices Tho Irishman lacks reasoning power, perseverance and self-control. He
 
 taste for art, music and rhetoric He is keen for knowledge cunning c1ev- CT and witty, although for the sake of deception he often pretends to be stupid. naive. But with all his intel lectnai powers he lacks profundity Superficial in his actions and thoughts untrustworthv as a worker. lacking perseverance, and hCkle he is not equal to the performance, of any great task in life and s incar- able of attaining results comm ensur- ato with his spasm odic activity. Those who arc not his relations or friends dare not trust him. The provers3 seems true. that when an lrishman is stabbed, another Irishman is always bound to drive the dagger in. Treas on has always been a prominent Aea- ture in all Irish risinss Conscientt- onsness is onspicuously lacking in the Trishman, and he is not distin- guished for his love of truth Irrit- able as he is and inclined to Quarrcls and violence he is fond. loo, of amusement. Hospitable and eNtrava- Eant. he forgets to provide for the future. Thought often a victim of 1ntemperance he can put up with dearth when necessary. and is quite contented if he only has potatoes to eke out his life.''
 That would make goo1 reading at the next meeting of professional Ger mar-Irish agitators who masquerade ss friends of Irish Freedom.

What Is Genius?

Carlyle was much laughed at for saying that genius was an infinite ca pRcitN for taking pains. That does not sound like genius; one ima zines genius as raveling it's hair. whatever raTeling may be, and producing the immortal Word to the accom- par1j- ment of epileptic fits: absinthe also goes with genius very we'll. But in reality, genius, I suspect Ia a tanner affair and arises easily enough in men like Rembrandt who painted pictures because he liked doing it and because tho sitters paid him for their portraits; much more satisfa etc rily to Carlyle It arises in men like F'laubert who revealed much of his attitude in one phrase of his correspondence To-day l have worked sixteen hours and have at last finished my page" Therein lies the difference between Fiauhert and De Maupassan mt; it may be. too. that Boileau was right in ad- visine the poet 2. hundred time es to replace his work upon the bench, cndlessly polish it. and polish it ag gain, but many instances of almost spon- taneOus creation confront Us: it is enough to quote that in six years, be- tween 1902 and 1908, Shapeskeare ap- pears to have written eleven plays, among them Julius Caesar" Ham let" "OtheilO," Macbeth and King Lear What shall we say, then, of that vague thing, genius. which Is to mankind what the thing we call soul is to man? For my part, I believe it to be volcanic rather than sedim en- tarH. It is as If the spirit Of the Ta 70 accumulated in a creature. the spirit of life claiming to be born, Genius will out. but it Is most fre- Quent in certain periods of human his- tory, such as the EIzabethan or Me dicae uncertain places, such as France. Italy, and the Low Coun- tries; under certain influences such as oppression, war, revolution, or social decay. That is an interesting cata lngue. and, if history repeats itself the future for genius. as evidenced particularly in art would be black. for there have been few periods where comfort ease, and security bred genius. It Is as if the plant needed something to push against. Every day life becomes more secure, justice more certain, property more assured; humanity grows fat, and the grease of it's comfort collects round it's heart. It is difficult to imagine gcnius fourisning in a world per fectIy administered by city councils.

Diminishing Suhm arinc Assaults.

Tn Parliament yesterday the First Lord of the Admiralty declared that the merchant marines of the Allied and neutral cOuntries--and few in deed are the latter and still fewer may be six months hence-asgrega forty-two millions of active, availa ble tons, and that since the beginning of the war to the end Of 1917 the net re- duction of their shipping was not more than two and one-half millions of tons. It is true that during the last twelve months the tonnage sunk by mines and torpedoes reached the 1amentabIe number of six million tons. as claimed by the valorous liars of the German Marine Amt, This shows, despite Tirpitz and his piratical crew, that, owing to replace ments here and abroad. the relative reduction is diminishing and that the starvation of Great Britain and inter ference with the free run of the sea Ire German aspirations never to be realized.
 The defenses against submarine as saut are multiplying. and increased m cans and improved methods are be ginning to count so much that the counter offensive is more than satis fvinc' the demands of action. The contrib utions of Great Britain and this country are daily increasing in quality and quantity, and the finish prophesied by Admiral Lord Jeilicoe cannot be far removed.
 This distinguished British officer has warned the public, especially the politicians, that optimism must not be over exalted, that bitter expert ences still await, but that by the early autumn this optimism may in his judgment be foot loose and fan cy free. It is, of course, easy to be wise after the event, but here is an authority to be respected, who is dog matizlng on accepted knowledge. It is a. cheering prophecy and spells much for the security of allied ship 1 ping and for the safe transportation Of our army oVersea.
