1t will be very much of a sur
prise if the coming session of
the legislature makes any amend
ment to the rotten primary and
election laws that are a disgrace
to the state. Every member is
satisfied there should be some
thing done in the matter, and
every member has what appears
to him to be the correct and only
solution. The result will be the
introduction of a dozen or more
bills varying from a complete re-
peal of the primary law to few
minor changes, and all will fail
of passage. The whole question
of the primary and election laws
should be referred to a special
committee to draft a new law on
a sane basis and repeal the pres
ent one entirely. Attempting to
patch it up will make 1T even
worse than it is at present.

There is only one semblance of
similarity between the lowly Naz,
arene and one Bill Kaiser. Meth
er had any place to lay their
head. Holland has diplomatical-
ly notified the Hohenzollerns that
it is time for them to depart;
but diplomacy will never start
migration with this outfit. 1t is
up so Queen Wilhemnia to start
after the Kaiser with rolling
pin, and beat the information in
to his noodle that he is no longer
wanted in the Netherlands.

There is no particular need of
worrying about looking after the
soldiers boys when they return
home from the army. If there
is no job in sight they can just
marry one of the numerous girls
who are holding down a good
paying position, and be comfort
ably fixed for life. In these ad-
vanced times let us reverse the
old rules.

When the influenza appeared
in Phoenix, DR.. Brown, the state
health officer, commandeered all
the whiskey that had been con
fiscated by Sheriff Wilky for the
use of the patients. When this
got noised about everybody con-
tracted the disease, and they
wore flu masks to conceal the
whisky breath. Last week it
was announced the supply of
whiskey was exhausted, and the
quarantine was raised the next
day. Winslow has grievance.
Dr.. Brown was in charge of the
epidemic here, and Sheriff New
man had a couple of hundred
gallons of good contraband in
store at Holbrook, but it was not
commandeered for the flu pa
tients. We would have had sew
eral hundred more cases if DR..
Brown had put the Phoenix treat
ment into effect here, and some
of us feel that we have been de-
prived of our rights, lights and
liberties, and the pursuit of hap
piness. AS Pat Henry might have
said, under the same circumstan-
ces, "give us the Phoenix treat
ment, or give us death. -

When Governor-elect Campbell
takes his seat next month he will
find his work all cut out for him,
and his only duty will be to fol-
low the instructions as to how
his office should be conducted,
which have been so generously
volunteered by the different
newspapers in the state. His
only trouble will be to make all
the suggestions dove tail in har-
mony, and if he finds them ir-
reconcilable there probably will
be no serious objection if he in
jects a few ideas of his own.

1t is most unfortunate for the
people of the state of Arizona
that in the change with the new
year there could not be a general
cleaning of the land commission

in the clutches of the land grab

no show whatever to get even a
a semblance of justice.

Secretary of War Baker has
told the governors who are in
session at Annapolis that he is in
favor of an early disbandment
of all draft boards and councils
of defense. He suggested, how
ever, that if the local council
would maintain their organiza-
tions informally during the re-
construction period they could
be of material assistance to local
authorities.

Human nature is pretty much
alike. without regard to a fellows
political affiliations. With the
election of Mr.. Campbell as gov
ernor, there are several hundred
patriots who are willing and anx
iouS to serve in some official ca
pacity, and each one thinks he
should have preferment because
the party owes him something.
With several hundred applicants
for the less than a hundred posi-
tions there is bound to be a small
army of disappointed place seek
ers, and they will put in the next
two years bowling about the in
gratitude of the Governor, who
owed his election to their politi-
cal activity. And the measure
of their political activity and in
fiuence was probably voting the
republican ticket, and working
a few dollars out of the state
committee for their alleged pow
er to deliver the goods. This is
usually the class that are always
protesting that the party owes
them something. A good many
years ago, before the editor re-
formed, we used to be familiar
with the political game, and it
was our observation that the fell
lows who were most insistent
that the party owed them job
were the ones who had been
hooked on to the political pay
roll most of the time since they
cast their first vote. 1t is an i'm
possibility ever to get one of these
alleged political warehouses paid
OFT IN full. There are scores OF
men in every county who do more
real constructive work than any
of these professional party bar
nacles, because they are inter-
ested in the success of their par
ty, yet they seldom if ever come
forward with claims that the
party owes them something as
reward for being loyal. The old
barnacle's loyalty is governed en-
tirely by what he gets out of it.
If he is awarded a plum he is a
shouting patriot; if he fails to
land on the payroll he is a howl
ing dervish, determined upon the
swift destruction of an migrate
full party.

WILSON BACK OF
SUFFRAGE BILL
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, June 14.-President
Wilson expressed yesterday the hope
that the senate would act faVorably
at this session on the resolution for
submission of the woman suffrage
amendment to the states. passed by
the house last January after he had
given his endorsement.
When a delegation headed by Mrs.
Gait, president Of the National Wom-
ans Suffrage association. and DR..
Anna Howard Shaw. honorary presi-
dent. called at the White House, the
President read to them a reply he
asked Mrs. Gait to transmit to a
memorial presented to him from the
French Union For Woman's Suffrage.
The French suffragtsts asked Mr..
Wilson to proclaim the principle Of
woman suffrage one Of the funda-
mental rights of the future. His re-
ply, in part, follows:
Il agree without reservation that
the full and sincere democratic re-
construction of the world for which
we are striving, and which we are
determined to bring about at any
cost. will not have been completely
or adequately attained until women
are admitted to the suffrage and that
only by that action can the nations
of the world realize for the benefit Of
the future generations the full ideal
force Of opinion. or the full humane
forces Of action"
THE services Of women during this
supreme crisis Of the worlds history
have been Of the most signal useful
ness and distinction. The war could
not have been fought without them,
or it's sacrifices endured. 1t is high
time that some part Of our debt Of
gratitude to them should be acknOwl-
edged and paid. and the only ac-
acknowledgement they ask Is their adj
mission to the suffrage. Can we
Justly refuse it? AS for America, it
is my earnest hope that the senate
of the United States will give an I'M
answer to this question
by passing the suffrage amendment
to our federal constitution before the
end of this session.
