The Copper Queen politicians,
who control the democratic party
in Arizona, have set their seal Of
approval on the following candi
dates, and the result will be pub
lished to the rank and file at the
close of the primaries: Simms,
secretary of state; Ross, state
treasurer; Boyce, auditor; Cole,
corporation commissioner; Jones,
attorney general; Case, superin.
tendent. The little by-play Of
the copper politicians in making
a big fight on the governor is
done simply to detract attention
from their operations to capture
the other places on the ticket.

not misplaced. The gang of |.
W. W. traitors to the American
flag got sentences running from
one to twenty years, with thous-
ands of dollars tackled on to them
as the trimmings. Bill Hayward,
the big chief of the disloyal gang,
with about twenty others drew
the capital prizes of twenty years
and $50, 600 fines. Perhaps when
their time expires, and they are
once more given their liberty they
will have a higher idea of Amer.

When we look over the crimi-
nal waste of paper by the gov
ernment and then consider that
the war board has curtailed the
supply to the regular newspapers
of the country, we can find a
confirmation of the charge that
there is too much ineficiency in
appointments in order that all
deserving democrats" shall be
provided with berths in the gov
ernment employ. If President
Wilson would in fact adjourn pol
itics for the period Of the war in
stead of just talking about it. a
m ost surprising improvement
could be made in the conduct of
our national affairs.

Wiley" Jones, the attorney
general who has disgraced the
state of Arizona for the past four
years, is again on the hustings
flim-famming the people telling
them how earnestly he is fight
ing for the suppression of the
liquor traffic. At Flagstaff, if he
is correctly reported in his speech,
he made the astounding state
ment that he had not taken a
drink since the passage of the
prohibition law. Two years age
Wiley" was under the influence
of liquor in Winslow and in that
condition attempted to make a
speech. Less than six months
ago he was drinking whiskey in
this city, and got mad at two
other state officers who drank up
all his whiskey in room in the
Harvey House, while he was at
the Lieut.. Crozier war meeting
in the opera house, where he was
telling how all the Joneses for a
hundred years back had been
soldiers.

Corporations never make a mis-
take when they employ an attor-
ney. They always select a fellow
who has some brains in his head.
The best recommendation Fred
Sutter has is the fact that he is
an attorney for a big copper COM
pany at Bisbee. Perhaps if the
democrats in Arizona used the
same judgment in selecting a
candidate for governor as the
copper companies 10 in choosing
their attorney, they might have a
man, who if elected to office,
would be a credit and honor
to the party. If Sutter should
be nominated and elected gov
ernor he would have to resign
his job with the copper COM
pany, and, he would apply the
same ability to managing the af-
fairs of the state. He would be
Arizona's man then, and not an
attorney for a copper company.
All political parties should re-
member that Arizona needs
brainy men in her state offices.

We have thoroughly enjoyed
the scramble among the demo-
Gratis to get a nomination this
year for some office, but we can
not see why it is necessary for
them to abuse one another in
their zeal. The fellows who win
the nominations are going to be
the losers, as this is a republican
wear.

When Fred Golfer hears the

When Fred Golfer hears the
news from Navajo county he will
realize the mistake he made when
he imported his campaign mana
ger from Apache county, whose
only idea of controlling elections
was to line up the disreputables
as his lieutenants in every com
munity. Decent citizenship is
the first and greatest ideal OF
Navajo county people, and they
are not taking instruction from
the street corner loafer how tt

The element in the democratic
party in Arizona that is known as
the anti-corporation wing are so
thoroughly inconsistent as to pass
all understanding. They are out
whooping 'er up for Wiley Jones,
Harry Ross, ct al, all corpora
tion candidates, and denouncing
Fred Sutter, who wants the NOM
ination for governor because he
is an attorney for a copper COM
pany. AS between them Fred
Sutter is the cleanest and best.
He is an attorney, and admits he
has copper company for client
and is proud of the fact that his
legal ability attracts such clients
to him. The Jones, Ross, Boyce
ilk, who are going to be nominal
ed for the several minor state Of
@tlces, are simply political tools
who can be enlisted in the serv-
ice of the corporation by simply
throwing out the sop of some po-
litical job, so they can make
living without work. AS between
salaried attorney for a corpora
ton, or the cheap political tools
of corporation, we prefer the
attorney. He is hired because
he has brains, the other fellows
are simply bribed with an office
to do the bidding and dirty work
of the corporations. Men who
sell their souls for an Office never
make good public officials. A man
with brains don't have sell his
soul to anybody to earn a living.

McAdoo Says No Politics

issued an order to all railroad en-
ployes notifying them to keep out
of politics. According to Mr..
McAdoo there is no necessity for
railroad men under present con-
ditions to engage in this popular
American sport, as the proper
ties are now under government
control, and there are no private
interests to, serve. He then goes
into detail and announces that
no railroad official, attorney or
employe shall do any of the fol-
lowing:
BE an officer or member of
any political committee or organ
ization that solicits funds for po-
litical purposes.
Be a delegate, chairman or an
officer in any political convention.
Solicit or receive funds for any
political purpose or contribute to
any private fund collected by an
official or employee of any rail-
road, or any official or employee
of the United States or any State.
Assume the conduct of any po-
litical campaign.
Attempt to coerce or intimieate
another officer or employee in his
vote. (Violation of this rule, Mr..
McAdoo says, will result in i'm
mediate dismissal.
Become a candidate for any po-
litical office. Those who desire
to run for office or engage in pol
itics must Immediately sever
their connections with the United
States railroad service.
Membership on a local school
or park board will not be con-
strued as political Office.
This order is altogether too
sweeping and unfair to the men
in the employ of the railroads.
There should never be any rule
in this country that abridges the
rights of a man to freely partici-
pate in the political affairs Of the
state or nation. We are sup
posed to have a democratic form
of government where all can
freely participate in it's political
affairs, either as a candidate or
an active supporter of candi-
date. or any political party, and
to coerce any employe into mac
tivity by threat to lose his po-
sition, is grossly un-American.
and savors too much of dictator
ial power.
Mr.. McAdoo gives as an alleg-
ed reason for his order that in
the past it has been notorious
that railroads have been pernic-
iously active in politics, which
we are willing to grant him. and
it is to put a stop to the practice
that he makes the order. Mr..
McAdoo is too shrewd politi-
clan, and familiar with railroad
activities to be himself deceived,
or think he can deceive the pub
lie with such an order. There
is a vast difference between the
railroads being in politics, and
the employees. McAdoo knows,
as does every one else who has
followed the game, that it was
not the activity of the railroad
employees that was corrupting
our political institutions, but the
pernicious activity of the railroad
managers and their paid political
strikers. These fellows play the
game with the cunning of a mas
ter hand. They do not select
railroad employees to run for Of
flee, but they pick stool-pigeons
who are willing to sell their souls
for political job, men without
character or principle, who will
be subservient to corporation
uominition. This is the curse of
railroads and other corporations
in politics. It is not the partici
patton in politics by the employe.
Mr.. McAdoo's order strikes at
the individual worker, but will
