The Redemption of Illinois

Not only republicans but patriotic democrats everywhere will learn with qualification of the defeat by Medin Mccormick of Mayor Thompson, for the republican nomination for United States from Illinois Partisan democrats might have received news of the nomination of Thompson with satis- faction. It would have meant the probable re-eec- ton of Senator J. Hamilton Lewis instead of his tain defeat that Mccormick has been nominated.
 The loyal republicans of Illinois would have been forced to assist in the defeat of Thompson if he been nominated, for he has in various ways proved that he is not only big enough for the job but that he is out of joint with the times. Lewis has demonstrated that he is of full senatorial size in fact, rather small for big place but he has been steadily the side of loyalty. We not inquire what he might have been in other circum- stances. But a member of a party which reluc- tanty accepted the responsibilities of the he has been loyal to his party and therefore the country He is like many of his democratic colleagues who notoriously opposed to war, in favor of a humating continued until the humiliation became unbear- able and until it evident that the most dsgraceful peace would finally be denied by the Germans, Then they loyal to their country their loyalty the less useful because it was ren- forced by loyalty to party.
 Mccormick has been loyal not because he is a republican, but because he is an American and re- gardless of the fact that he is democrat Like nearly every other republican senator and member of the house of representatives he has supported the American administration in every plan and he and they will do so so long the lasts and so long as the American administration happens to be in the hands of the democratic party
 Thompson probably meant to be disoyal. No doubt he thought he a good American. He opposed to the war, he hesitated do any thing to affront German voters. His conduct was very much the that of scores of prominent men mostly democratic statesmen, among whom was the late Senator Stone. His conduct was different from theirs only in that it continued little longer say a week or two Two things though made the con- duct of Thompson more conspicuous. One was the fact that he a republican, when republicans all most to a man were for the The other was the
 tleness of his refusal to invite General Joffre to Chicago
 But for the latter incident if Thompson had been democrat he would have passed among democrats as an average loyalist and republicans would not have perceived that he markedly disloya. But republican he became an abomination to repub- licans.

MESA REGISTRATION
 DAY HAS ON[Y ONE
 BIT OF EXCITEMENT

MESA, Sept. 13.-Registration day passed quietly enough in Mesa save in one instance where a man who stated that he was an "enemy alien" was the center of a somewhat emphatic group. who didn't like his style of talking. The occurrence as reported by chief registrar Beville is as follows: Herman Seiz, young German rancher who has been in Mesa for several years, came in to register. When he was to state whether as an alien he had declared his intention of becoming a citizen, Seiz at first said yes" After having signed his name to the card he asked that another card be made out as he was an enemy alien" | The registrar who knew that Seiz had taken out his first naturalization pa- pers referred the matter to Beville, who | phoned to the adjutant general. and re- ceived instruction to allow the man to register any way he desired, and that | the refusal to sign as a "declarant" could be investigated when the returns are made. SeiZ walked out of the room and was at once surrounded by a group
 of men, some of whom told him rather | forcibly what was on their minds. Be
 vile and the officers suggested that he | be permitted to go on home, which was
 done.
 Apart from this incident, the crowd
 was in high good humor all day and
 if there was any indication of unwll- ingness to go when the country calls, il | could not be observed.

The Primary

About this time every two years large number of citizens arise and demand earnestly with profanity. the abolition of the primary system Prom inent among these demanders are the defeated can didates and their friends and as the whole number of disappointed people is greater than the number of those not disappointed, the demand seems pretty loud. almost unanimous The primary is attacked various but related grounds It is urged that com- paratvey few really intelligent voters attend the primary. that most of the people competent choose good candidates stay at home that the attendance in largely made up of the vicious and the ignorant.
 The primary, though, has it's defenders well it's defamers. The successful candidates and their friends regard it a triumph. It brings out enough intelligent voters. They compliment the fairness and intelligence of the voters who remained at home If they had come to the polls perhaps their prejudices would have overcame their perspicacity and they would have voted for the wrong candidates so that the result would have been different Their good citizenship was evidenced by their absence.
 It will be very difficult to have movement for the abolition of the primary system initiated in the legislature. For all the members of the legis we may desire must be started and put through by the people.
 The primary system is ideal So is the millennium and so is Utopia. But the success of the system is dependent upon conditions which are ideal and not real prevalent intelligence honesty and interest We enforce intelligence and honesty by legislation but compel a show of interest The legislature might make it a misdemeanor for a citizen to absent himself from the polls on either primary or general election day.

GERMAN SHOCK GOING DOWN

One thing is plain enough from the news about Spain and Germany Spain is quite willing to risk break with Germany by adopting the policy of seizng one German ship in Spanish ports for every Spanish ship sunk by submarines She is more than willing She is courtng break with Germany. In other neu- tral countries signs of the same change of mind are appearing. The Dutch newspapers commenting with a frankness unfavorable to Germany upon her recent military performance and present military situation Swiss papers written in German and hither- to proGerman in tone reported printing anti German articles. Sweden, recognizing the allied blockade in effect, is shutting down on trade with Germany increasing her trade with the alies turning the allies four hundred thousand tons of ship ping In other words, German stock is going down in Spain and in three of the countries nearest her and in a favorable position for estimating what is hap pening to her.--News Republic

The Town of Tucson

Tucson has became too big town to be affected by the removal the Arizona Eastern general offices which has lately been announced. Tucson was good town as western towns went before the railroad reached that place in the early eighties. It the best town in the whole southwest The railroad gave it great impetus and for many years the payroll of the Southern Pacific regarded as the financial backbone Of the town. But it was really only a part and a comparatively small part of Tucsons financial resources. In the middle nneties we happened to learn something that perhaps people in Tucson did not know. There little customs smeter south of Tucson, which really turning more money into the town than the monthly railroad payroll. Americans and Mexcans to whom mining was only a side line kept a constant procession of wagons to the smeer laden with rich copper from hundreds of small mines claims which they worked when they needed ready money. The ore they brought was very rich but copper was then worth only 10 cents a pound. Their ore was assayed at and they paid on the spot
 The railroad, of course has been great help Co Tucson railroads generally beneficial to owns. But it's greatest hepfulness not in the money brought to the town, but in the opportunity it afforded stii affords always will afford, the youth of Tucson for employment and advancement.
 The average Tucson boy in the last thirty years has been born with ambition not to become presi dent of the United States but to become an engineer a fireman a brakeman or a machinist. Perhaps now and then. has aspired to the presidency of the <. F. system. Many hundreds of those boys have entered the service of the road very high age has made good.
 The climate of Tucson and its surroundings alone would have made it great town and it fortunate in attracting at very early day. even before the advent of the raroad the right kind of people whose descendants like them. And like attracts like, the people who have since to town have also been the right kind of people,
 The wealth of the surrounding hills and the de- veopment of the valleys and the energy of the chants well the enterprise of citizens generally have made Tucson great center and beautiful city. Tucson is place where strangers like to go; where who has once been there wants to stay and place which leaves with regret.
