Where the People
 May Have Hearing
A Statement by Judge Hawkins

June IA, 1918 Hon. Wiley E. Jones,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 I understand from the public press that Hon. Lamar Cobb on yesterday addressed a letter to the senate and house suggesting certain charges against you as the basis for impeach- ment proceedings. This mornings Ar izona Republican" which is and has ever been politically and personally antagonistic to me, strongly insinuates that 1 was in some way party to this action on the part of MT. Cobb. This suggestion is absolutely untrue. I had nothing whatever to do with the com munication in question and did not know in advance of the converting of the morning session of the legislature that any such effort to impeach you was contemplated. I have not even yet seen MT. Cobbs letter or a copy of it, and have never been told by MT. Cobb, or by anyone else what charges, if any, | it contains.
 1 am a candidate for attorney gen. eral and am running on my own merits and not on the demerits of others. Not having seen a copy of the charges brought against you by Mir. Cobb, and not knowing at this time anything with references to the merits or de- merits of your controversy with him, l decline to be drawn into such c0ntro- verSy by means of criticism froA Re publican newspapers or otherwise.
 Respectfully youu.
Arizona republican., 1918-06-16

there is something in his voice. in his manner, in his sklful use of language which holds music may, a slight of hand performance, and away feeling that We have had pretty good evening. such might have had a circus.
 But we have never seen such a man in any legis- lature, in Arizona or elsewhere. Such orators exceedingly rare in the congress of the United States, though in that body there have been few, but very few, orators. There have been some souls, like Clay, Webster and Haynes, who inciden- tally possessed the gift of entertaining along with an ability to edfy and instruct.
 But members of the legislatures are not convened to try to entertain themselves and the few people who nfest the galleries, at the of $500 an hour Theoretically legislators elected to transact certain simple but necessary. business in busnesslike way. Business and oratory, or supposed oratory, have gone hand in hand.
 The time is at hand when will be coming forward to solicit support of their candidates for membership in the Fourth Arizona legislature. We voters would do well to exact pledges from such asprants They should be required to pledge them they should waste not more than $25 worth of time, any question, and then not than once on any legislative day They should be bound by pledge in circumstances to enter upon an expla- nation attempted explanation, of a vote on any question:
 If these pledges eXacted and observed, should have shorter sessions and better results.

publican newspapers or otherwise.
 Respectfully youu.
 A. $. HAWKINS (But for the fact that the foregoing letter has been furnished us with request to publish, by Judge flaw kins himself we should not feel at liberty to iSdulge in comment on any correspondence of his with the at torney general or with any other per son. But we believe that in these cir cumstances, we may with proprety re- fer to those matters with which Judge Hawkins has associated The Repub- lican.
 The Republican did not state that Judge Hawkins had any active part in the letter of MT. Cobb to the legisla- ture demanding the impeachment of 1 the attorney general whom Judge Hawkins hopes to succeed. We did not say and we could not say that the l judge was in collision with MT. Cobb l for we do not know that, and we had heard no man say that there was such a conspiracy.
 | We did, however, mention the coin cidence of the 'promiscuity' of the judge about the legislature at the time of the presentation of the letter; we mentioned also his frequent appear dnCeS Tn the leSlSldtlNe CHdIHDcTS lIldl morning and his dealing out his cam paign cards to the member. This CO., incidence was remarked by many per sons, some of whom assumed that it was the knowledge of the fact that such a letter was to be presented that attracted Judge Hawkins to the capitol that fateful morning. The Republican, however, indulged in no such assump- tion.
 The judge also CTS in his statement that The Republican is or has been an tagonistic to him personally or polit- ically. We think that close and con- sistent readers of The Republican dur ing the last four or five years will re- member that Judge Hawkins has been permitted with frequency to obtrude his views on various and sundry topics before the readers of this paper. We do not know of anyone who has con sumed more of our space.
 As to the political activities of Judge Hawkins we can only say that they have never been of a character to en- list our serious interest or to provoke antagonism. No man has ever read ir these columns any reflection upon Judge Hawkins. We have never raised any question concerning the fitness Of Judge Hawkins for the presidency oi the United States, the caliphate ot Bagdad, the Ahkoundship of Swat ol any lesser office.-Ed.)

Time Is Money

Local statistcians have estimated that it costs nearly $500 hour, s5 minute, to run the Ari- zona legislature. Here sec time is money. The men who consume the least time are. therefore, the cheapest and the best. It unfortunately happens that the consumption of valuable time is not the worst result of the waste. The men who consume the most time are, rule. almost without excep- ton, not orderly thinkers. that instead of carfy- ing somewhat cloudy point, they almost invariably rdd to the confusion. They conftse themselves
 There is not one orator in thousand who really conveys information. The orator is usually so busy talking that he has no opportunity. if he has the capacity 10 get to the bottom of the problems concerning which he talks gliby. Now and then we hear orator who possesses gift by which we entertained but not edified. He tells us nothing he docs not tell it in a new way Bul

 Big results in the recruiting at the new stations are anticipated by N lieutenant as the people have become thoroughly acquainted with the bril- liant showing made by the marine corps in France and the young Amer jeans who volunteer in that branch want to be the first to fight

 GROWING ALARMING

Fido, Rover and the rest of the canine population of Phoenix are dying in great numbers according to l.. B. Hitchcock. superintendent of streets. He reports that more calls to remove dead dogs have come in to his depart ment in the past week than ever before.
 Whether the hot weather was re- sponsible for the death of the dogs or whether persons killed the animals be- cause they refused to observe the die tates of the food administrator he could not say but he was certain that if the dogs continued to die Tn such great numbers that there will be a serious congestion in dog heaven.

CROPS IN FINE SHAPE.
Condition Of Cane. and Rice Con-
sidered Unusually Promising.

From the reports of specially Sc
lected list of cane growers, rem
forced by the personal investigations
of it's Louisiana field agent, the Bu-
reau Of Crop Estimates of the tinted
States Department of Agriculture es-
Inmates that the condition of the
growing crop of sugar cane IN Lou
isiana on July |, in what is generally
understood as the sugar parishes, was
los per cent of a normal condition, as
compared with IS per cent on July |
last year, and 81, the average cond.-
ton for the past ten years. A cond1-
ton of 95 on July l forecasts a
probable production of 1896, oOo
short tons Of cane. Allowing for
quantities usually taken for seeding
purposes and syrup making, and cal
culating the Nemainder on a basis OF
1873 pounds 81 sugar per ton OF cane
the average yield during the past
seven years-indications at this time
are for yield of about 276,00O short
tons of sugar. The final outturn
probably will be larger or smaller
than this amount, depending upon
conditions hereafter, whether better
or worse than average conditions.

THE SOLDIERS CHANCES.
Odds Strongly in Favor of Fightin,
Man in Game of War.

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the In
diyidual soldier has plenty chances OF
coming out Of the war unscrathed,
or at least not badly injured.
Based on the Mortality statistics OF
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
arc as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances Of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
j One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live FIVE years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
l5died from disease to one from bull
lets; in this war one man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets. .
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.
