Our Congressional Candidates

The candidacy of both Lieutenant Thomas Mad dock and Hon. Carl Hayden for representative in congress has laid an embarrassment upon all voters of Arizona who do solve their political perplexi- ties by the strict party rule, and the independent voters are happily increasing in numbers every year Any embarrassment, however that intelligent, dis crmnatng voters may suffer is relieved by the cer- ainty that Arizona will be most ably represented in the house of the sxty-sxth congress by either Lieu tenant Maddock or Major Hayden.
 Tho Republican, independent newspaper of progressive republican tendencies under it's present ownership and management, has uniformly supported yr Hayden and his service in congress has justified tho support we have given him. Of his great useful ness and his energy in behalf of Arizona and Ari zauishs we have had almost daily proof. In other han thc existing circumstances, Mr. Hayden would bc worthier of our support than ever, for he has steadily grown in usefulness.
 But there are other circumstances. lieutenant Naddoek. after giving proof of his capabity in va rety of directions early entered the service of his country and now wears the uniform of the Engineers iu France.

The ference will only when the German armies have been destroyed have surrendered. The which tho Germans will accept will be such have been agreed upon around that table. They may be quite different from such terms the allies would have proposed a year or six months ago
 This is the sentiment of this country, and more strongly so. the sentiment of the people and the statesmen of Great Britain and France. Such peace terms may be reached in the entente negotiations should be briefly and plainly stated there should be no room for dispute concerning their meaning. Ger many should not be left with power to reject them with opportunity to haggIe them.
 Not only should there be armistice, though hodsed about by conditions which would make it i'm possibe for the Germans to improve their military situation in the interim but there should be no ar mstice at all Fighting should be suspended only when Germany should have no power to renew it. 10 is not enough that the Germans should retire to their own country. There their armies would be formidable. with their shorter lines and stronger lenses than they now. They should be left with DO lines and defenses.
 When General MacMahon with his great army vas cooped up in Sedan, France asked for armis- ucc. Bismarck, the far sighted. denied it. The French army in the interest of peace he said should be destroyed. Then the way would be open to peace
 General Foch since early in September has been rapidly bringing the world toward peace Any in- reference with the Foch program would tend to prolongaiion of the war. The time of year on the western front is approaching when there must be a moderation if not cessation of military activity There can be hardly more than six weeks more of dependable fighting weather and they will be precious weeks in which Foch should be left with free hand io accomplish the utmost before the meteorological armis'ice intervenes.

Editor Arizona Republicans:
 Sir:
 The elimination of the German lan- guage and German literature from our public schools in many states followed by the discard of German music in the aters and public places is the natural outcome of the profound dislike engen- dered by the atrocities. savagery, and inhuman course pursued by the Huns throughout this war; yet, it would seem unjust to the German literati of past ages as we'll as musical geniuses. who were in no wise instrumental in bringing about the war. to have thei, great works eliminated from our land.
 The Biblical quotation "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation" seems to have been re- versed for in the present case the Ger man geniuses of the past are punished for the sins of the present generation. | Some ludicrous incidents occur at times in the promulgation of these l drastic measures, for instance, we read not long ago of a musical club of Los

SALE 0F BICYCLE
 HALTED BY ARREST

The prospective sale of new bicycle was brought to a sudden end yesterday when Detective Grove arrested Ramon Gonzales. a boy, who was about to close the deal with another boy in front of police headquarters. Gonzales appeared over anxious to sell the wheel, and then Grove, who happened to be looking on, remembered that wheel answering the description of the one before him had been reported as stolen. He therefore arrested Con- zales.
 The boy admitted having taken the bicycle from a store in Mesa, Grove said. Later the owner of the wheel identified it as the one stolen from his Mesa store the night before. The store, the owner said, has also been robbed Of 300 rounds of ammunition, but this had been found just outside the door indi- eating the burglar had dropped it in fright and had possibly escaped on the bicycle. The police court records show that Gonzales has served one term in the reform school.

What Germany Should Know.

If Germany has any intelligent secret service
agents in England. she certainly has it will be
surprising if these agents not reporting back to
their chiefs in Berlin that the temper of the British
people is growing harder and sterner towards Ger
many. The hospital outrages of this year-of which
to my mind the attack Doulens was the most in
excusabe-have embittered men. The mutual dis
cussions between Englishnen and Americans have
served to carry the hardening process still further
If the Germans do realize by this time that the
Americans. despite everything, among the
hardest and sternest fighters the world has ever
SEEN they will realize it soon. They send their con-
scientous DIRECTORS to twenty-five years mprison-
ment give them life sentences They are going to
treat the Germans whom they regard as world Grim
inals, in similar spirit
The spirit coming up among peoples is
the spirit which Grant and lincoln showed in the
closing months Of the Civil war II the war
goes much longer we will find a strong deter
mined party that will be satisfied with nothing else
but Germany's unconditional surrender. She will
have leave her fate the decision of the vctors

They walked on a little farther.
Then the lad saw a service flag

MEANS" replied the father, that

The New Influenza.

Ordinary influenza is an infec-
tiouS disease characterized by chill
or chilliness at onset, and then
fever, headache, marked prostration
or weakness, severe aches or pains
in back and legs, usually cough
from associated bronchitis; the
cause of the disease being a bacil-
lus known as Pfeiffer's influenza
bacillus tPfeiffer was the bacte-
biologist who discovered the baciI-
lus in 1922, which bacillus is found
in the sputum sometimes in the
blood and sometimes in the cere-
bro-spinal fluid in cases of compli-
eating meningitis.
Ordinary influenza is not grippe"
or "a bad cold" 1t is a specific

The virulent or injurious effect of
influenza infection on the system
