Letters From Soldiers
Private Allen L. Gooch

News has been received in Phoenix or the safe arrival in France of Private Allen l.. Gooch. Mig, as he is gen. erally known, was drafted from Green lee county at Duncan. His parents resided for a number of months at 361 x. 3rd avenue, here in Phoenix, later leaving for Duncan where they are now awaiting the safe return of their sol dier son.
 Mig worked for short time in q barber shop on East Washington street during which time he made many friends who will be interested to learn of his safe arrival overseas. A brief extract from his letter follows:
 July A, 1918. Dear Mother and All:
 We'll mother, as We have stopped again. will try and write another letter day that we would win the war before the leaves turn brown. General Persh- ing says, Heaven, hell or home before Christmas" and from the roar Of our big guns and the news of continued success. the boys at the front are ocr- tainly taking the Germans to gen cral cleaning" and it really begins to look like most of us will take our Christmas dinner at home.

The Naval Academy in '61.

During the Civil War the Naval academy was moved to Newport the historic Constitution while its former home at Annapolis was used as a base hospital by the army. On the academys return to Annapolis, in 1865, Vice Admiral Porter the superin- tendent instituted regular dances or "hops" and most important of all his reforms the honor system by which midshipmans word was not to be ques- toned.
 He also encouraged at hletics in every way. In the presence of hrong of mfdshipmen he boxed with one of them himself and allowed the nose of the vice admiral of the to be smartly tapped by his enthusiastic young opponent-o manifest glae of the assembly and to the shuddering horror of the old navy when it learned of this innovation.
 By the end of Porter's superntendency in 1869 the Naval Academy had worked system fol- lowed to the present day Since 1851 academic work had not been interrupted by three years at sea Through drills and summer cruises practical skill and seagoing habits have been acquired without sac

End of a Political Career

Mayor Rolph of San Francisco as a politician overpayed his hand He not cut out for a poli- tician but he rebeed against the law nature and tried to make of himself anyhow. he had been content to remain business man with a willingness to the state in public capacity he might now be on the way to the governors chair. He had fortutous start in public life
 He elected mayor of San Francisco in 1911 only because he foremost business man. banker and ship owner. He probably accepted the office purely in a spirit of service P H. Mccarthy had been mayor and just the kind of mayor San Francisco had wanted He was the most influential labor leader on the Pacific coast. He was a man chosen because it was believed by many who recog- nized his general unfitness, that he could bring in- dusria peace to San Francisco; that could be made to his interest to prevent strikes. He served two terms and during that time there was not an import ant strike
 But in 1911 at the approach of Panama Pacific Exposition San Francisco needed a business mayor one capable of distributing fund of some millions That was too big job for Mccarthy and Rolph was elected. He made creditabe record until he began 10 be politician Then he passed out of his clement He surrounded himself with bad advisers representa- uves of the worst elements he believed these elements constituted the greatest strength in the state
 He guessed wrong and though a republican he secured the nomination the democratic ticket if carries with it no prospect election It means the end of political that had a fairly good start
 Governor Stephens who succeeded Governor Hiram Johnson when the latter became United States senator has been an acceptable executive There was every reason why he should be returned.

GERMAN RETREAT |S MORE SPEEDY SINCE
 FALL IF CHAU[|VES

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. 2S.-The German re- treat north of the Avre River has been far more speedy since the fall of Chaulnes. Pursued by the French and harassed by the mustard gas shells, which they left behind and which are being fired from German guns by French gunners, the enemy is making haste to cross the river Ingon in the region of Nesle and the Canal du Nord.
 On Heels of Retiring Enemy
 General Debeneys men, without great opposition advanced four and a half miles during the night and this morning their cavalry was upon Nesle, close on the heels of the retiring enc my. The pursuit toward the Canal du Nord slackened this morning when the enemy's artillery of all calbers main- tained heavy fire from strong posi- tions west of the canal
 After Chaulnes fell, Gommiecourt, to the north, and Sept Fours were taken while later Greasy, Balatre, Champion and Roiglise. between Nesle and Rove, were captured and more than a score of other villages occupied.
 Devastation and DesoIation
 The battlefield the Germans have abandoned presents picture of devas- tation and desolation that has not been surpassed during the war. Rove and the villages round about have been quite as thoroughly demolished as Montdider and Moreuil
 Even cemeteries have been blown up.

The Regeneration
We wait beneath the furnace blast The bangs of transformation; Not painlessly doth God re-cast,
 And mould anew the nation

And mould the nation"
 It is an awful price which the country will pay for the regeneration of it's youth but they being regenerated. Even few short months in Ameri- can training camp produce marvellous changes in the boys who go there. The manly become manly and the shiftless the idle vicious unless they are of utterly and irrecaimably worthless material are moulded into useful shape. If they utterly mo good;" if in the crucibe of training, what had been suspected is demonstrated they broken and cast aside where they should be.
 If these changes wrought in the training camps what greater ones may expect to when the boys have passed through the fires of Francei
 This will be new earth when the present vusion is over, earth with better citizenship in every country-in Germany in France, in England and in careless, happy go-lucky America. All the nations of the earth will have been brought into closer and better relation The barriers of class caste as we have understood them, will be lowered. We shall pay less attention to distinctions of wealth and family. But until the millennium shall come there will be classes. There will in America after the war two general classes those who served and those who skuked those who fought the first lne those who occupied the second fourth in France or America those who gave of their lives or their means the other hand there will be the sackers whose stingness fear left them dlers in the great struggle.
 There will be the Americans who were "among those present. and those who were not; those who answered lad sum" and those were silent as the dead It will be matter of lifelong regret and shame to the latter that they skulked
 In the Spanish American it disgrace to one that he remained home, for only com paratively few could be accepted In the Civil war only small part of the population the north was needed and then those did not go regretted deeply in after years that they had soldiers rec ord But what shall be the state of the man. after this war, when the services every man are needed in some capacity, who skulked in the rear?
 But enough of the boys will come back to work the regeneration of our citizenship and create the earth. It will for time be gloomy earth for those whose husbands sons brothers do not come back. They will feel that the of the regenera ion was uneveny distributed. The regeneration would not be worth it if it's effect would soon pass away but it will not We will gained ground that will never be lost in onward progress

Primary Laws

The result of the Michigan primaries brought with it some consolation Henry Ford It relieved him of the painful necessity making a choice between the republican and the democratic parties a choice he would have had make if he had received both the republican and the democratic nominations for United States senator. The law of Michigan like that of California, permits candidate stand for nation at the primaries of all parties. But unlike the California law, the Michigan law requires a didate who has been nominated by than party, to elect within five days the party which he will represent Mr Ford is saved this ordeal The people underwent it for him last Tuesday, He is the candidate of the democratic party alone.
 The laws of both states with respect to primaries ridiculous, but the California law at least has the merit of consistency Why candidate who has been designated the choice of party at a pri- mary. cannot be placed the ticket of that party understood.
 The laws of both states though ignore the exist of any such thing party principles and tend to destroy party We should have no objection the election of a dog-catcher in this man There is real vital party principle involved in the election of any minor official Except for the preservation of party integrity might the nomination and election of all precinct county state officers in the California the Michigan way for of these officers have anything intimately to do with party principles.
 But must take of party principles when to the selection of representatives and United States senators. There is always a sharp vision of sentiment One party is wrong and the other is right Both cannot be right It is therefore, absurd for the candidate to pose the repre- sentative of both sets of principles the champion of the divergent policies of two more parties
 It may be said that at this time there is only one policy, the war policy, and that necessarily the parties agreed to that It is true that they agreed Their representatives in congress have been agreed throughout. Neither party has insisted on bringing old time party principles policies in to disrupt harmony to policy and neither party IS likely to do during the war.
 But the will not last forever. It will probably not last through the term any representative who the term of any senator who will be elected. Then ing problems, in comparison with which those of the problems have been complex or difficult There only thing to do and after inexcusable hesi- aton and fruitless backing and filling we set about doing it. with the full approval of all the people, publicans and democrats.
 But after the there will be revived all the old differences regarding policies, and many ones will arise. Then the men who will compose these differences will do republicans or as democrats representatives of the parties which elected them They must feel responsibility to one party or an- other. A man nominated by two parties and elected by the people at large is without responsibility He holds commission without knowing what his constituents want him to do
