Socialists and Russia

The remarks the New York State socialist con- venton of Morris Hillquit, we should think, would bring him within the purvew of the department of justice especially his profession sympathy with the I. W. w. on trial at Chicago under courtmartial by strongly entrenched capitastic class" Mir Hillquit, of course has right to predict that the l. w w. will be able with the assistance of the socialists to turn present form of government by "a stagger- ing vote" A majority of the people who vote have a right to set up any kind of a government they choose, either state of anarchy autocracy
 But mainly interested in Mir Hilquits ideal government the Russian new proletarian e. public, the first of it's kind in history" MT. Hilquit is not the first to believe that this is ideal government. Some who would not go far to say that is ideal a still believe that it is progress toward the ideal and will ultimately arrive. They take pleasure in quoting President Wilson, "The whole heart of the people of the United States is with the people of Russia in the attempt to free them selves forever from autocratic government and be- come the masters of their life"
 That a fine sentiment expressed sincerely in the hope that it would do the Russians some good but did not It received with jeers by the bol shevki regime and the messengers who officially transmitted it insulted. The Russian people have proved themselves incapable of realizing upon the opportunity offered them by the democratic revoutionsts who overthrow czarism and have stead fly sunk from hooliganism down to apathetic wretch edness The present autocracy in Russia is entless. bitter callous and inefficient than that of the czar. and the condition of tn Russian people is all but hopeless There is really hope for them but from the outside.
 Russia has ceased to struggle against autocratc government and has accepted it it accepted the Romanoffs with the exception that the people today are more miserable and hopeless than before, outraged by foreign invaders at will and enslaved by their petty masters.
 Some said that revolutions go backward That is like much other loose dicta by loose thinking people, mere phrase -mongers. That idea has been exploded by the living facts Russia has gone back and until process of evolution shall establish stable government. preferably a democ- racy; if not, autocracy, Russia will sink deeper and deeper At present it is the most pitiable spec the whole world Beside it ruined Serbia and plundered Belgium tower majestically.

Where the People

Phoenix's Opportunity

Phoenix, ArlZ, June z9, 19lS. Editor, Republican:
 I see the city commission is to call a special election to vote on the propo- sition of issuing $1O0.000 worth of bonds for the purpose of installing a pumping plant to cooperate with the | farmers in draining off the under ground water The city attorney has rendered an opinion that it will be necessary that the city utilize the wa | ter for some purpose to make the bond issue legal.
 | Phoenix has long needed three things: park, a swimming pool and a large place to meet in. l believe this offers an opportunity too get all three
 The principal obstacle in the way of getting swimming pool has been in the first place the cost of pumping the water. second, heating it. The pump ing of an adequate supply is now as- sured, and I want to suggest a way it could be warmed at no expense except the initial cost
 | Build a circular swimming pool leaving in the center piece of ground say for example, 150 feet in diameter Over this put a galvanized corrugated iron roof, pump the water to the tor of the roof and so distribute it that a portion will run down every one of the cOrrugations
 This will not only warm the water for the pool, but make the enclosure under the roof cool on the hottest day insummer. And thus provide a place to cool off for the non- swimmer as well as the bathers.
 If only a small stream were TUT | down fhpCn paf thnrn very few days in winter but what il would be warmed sufficiently to make swimming comfortable, which would be great attraction for tourists, ant one that very few, if any city, could boast of.
 Canvas curtains could be hung 1T winter and provide a large hall where meetings could be held in comfort.
 The circular pool would permit O races (even boat) any distance alway. in sight of all the spectators.
 It would also allow dividing certain spaces off for women and for childreI without discrimination.
 As to the cost, suppose it was S10 900. Thirty three and third cent apiece for each of the 30,000 inhabit ants of Phoenix. Less than it costs t go to Joint Head or Riverside once As the bonds are likely to be ten yer or more bonds,it would only amount t three cents year.
 The city owns west of town a par known as the Christy Place. It alway has been and is likely to be-becaus it is off a street car line and auto mobiles has put street car extension outside of the city limits almost ou of the question-a white elephant ol the city's hands. The price of Ian is not ligely to be higher or more il demand that at present, why not in corporate in the election call provi sion to sell this and apply proceeds O building and pool at Eastlake park, place accessible to all.

DEMOCRATIC ARMY |S
 TO0 MUCH FUR GIRL
CRv Clarence P Woodhuryl


 There was an incident which oc- cured recently at one of our training camps, which illustrates forcibly the complete democracy of our great army
 For some time in the past, certain German propaganda was to the effect that this is a capitalists war-a war in behalf of the rich" and other insid- ious lies toward the same end, were told, trying in their underhan, yellow dog style to influence opinion.
 To proceed with the libretto. A dance was being held at the said training camp, and during the course of the evening, one of the officers who had been paying particular attention to a society belle, took occasion to intro- duce her to a rather distinguished, tall, good looking rookie,-a real friend of his as he expressed it. During the in troduction, the name of the rookie made no impression on the young lady, and as the music for the next dance was starting, he asked her whether she would care to waltz or sit the dance out. With considerable emphasis, she replied that she considered him v.ry outspoken, and that she danced with no one but the officers. Our rookie thanked her and walked away About half an hour later her former partner rejOined her and the conver- sation was as follows with few minor details.
 How did you enjoy MT. -"
 T did not enjoy him overly, and oy the way he asked me to dance with him.
 Well, trust that you did"
 Your trust has been misplaced, tor 1 informed him that I danced only with the officers"
 My dear young lady you made 8 very grave faux pas. MT. -- is the direct inheritor of a thirty million dollar estate, and before the war I was engaged as his chauffeur. Fortunately had university education, and en- tered the officers training camp and received my commission. MT. could have done the same but pre- ferred to enter the ranks as a private hope that this will have taught you something"

Arizona Republican,:
 Would you perform an act of mere to suffering people if you would plainly indicate the correct pronunciation of "Bolsheviki."
 H. o. w Two accommodations are in use in this country. Whether either of them is authoritative or not, we do not know. The one most commonly em- ployed by public speakers and those who use the word in conversation is l-she-vee-ki, with the accent on the next to the last syllable. It is possible that that pronunciation was adopted because most of us not long before had

AMSTERDAM, June 30.-Answering criticism made in the Hungarian par liament yesterday Major General von Szurmay said:
 T strongly contradict statements that these operations have been of bar ren results. No one could have fore seen the heavy rains which caused the Piave to rise. The army command had the courage to withdraw the troops when they saw they could not be suf- ficiently provided with ammunition and food. The retreat was ordered in accordance with prepared plans and took place in the course of two nights quite undisturbed by the enemy.

NAPOLEONS ALL

Such being the advertising fact it does seem
strange that the whole stage is not cluttered up

outer Office, supported by our own observation and
patient endurance, it is quite difficult to

boys have turned into Napoleons of thing

The Crucial Year.

Solemn rather than happy were the bells that
rang this New Year in--soemn with the vast is
sues to which they swung and the vast labors to
which they called. Nineteen Eighteen bids fair. to
prove the crucial and decisive year of the World
War, and of the greatly decisive stages in
the whole march of mans history The end for
which the Eberty-loving, honor-guarding nations
strive is not yet achieved. Prussanism stands
balked but not defeated" Whether it shall
be overcome and out OF the world
depends the power with which the allied de-
mocracies strike and the steadfastness with which
they stand in this twelvemonth of supreme test.
Particularly is this true of America whose unwea-
ried sinews must bear so large part of the bur
den and perhaps turn the trembling scales to final
victory. OF all nations and peoples that have
fought in world for freedom and right,
faced a day of greater demands or of
greater consequence to human kind. But who
that feels the fire with which they fight and the
faith for which their heroic legions have died
doubt the end? Not all of iron these New
Year bells, for while they summon to grim labors
and fresh sacrifices they tell also of the golden
times to be won-of the freedom and abiding
goodwill among which the faithful of today
will achieve and bequeath to all who come after
them. In truth, then these solemn heralds of
1918 ring out the old" and ring in the new
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
Ring in redress for all mankind"

that this is how they feel.

But it is always question of being good
