York ana will probably find it 'umovabe thing,
The postmaster general is doubt right in believing
that the telephone charges OF the hotels of Manhat

charge made by a New York hotel might be properly
reduced and should like it done on general

and that is much authoritative than the opn-
ion of Mr.. Bureson either private citizen the
director Of the telephone and telegraph systems.
We believe in centralized power, but it should
be effected by law and not recklessly assumed by
officers.
In many directions the executive department of
the government has gone much further than congress
intended it should go when it conferred unusual
powers and in doing that congress conferred some
authority which interfered with constitutional
rights of the states. But nobody during the war
disposed to offer resistance to the exercise Of
this authority The war, however, is over now and
this authority is certain to be questioned in the
courts if there is persistence in exercising it.

THANKSGIVING

Father, to Thee on this Thanksgiving
Day.
We bow the knee and pledge our hearts
once more
To loyal service in the Camp of Peace
Till Brotherhood shall blot out deeds
of war.
Help us to reconstruct our storm
tossed world
BY deeds of mercy, born of hearts on
fire
Guide Thou our hands that every act
we do
May bless the world, and other souls
inspire.
We thank Thee that in darkest hour
of stress
On blood soaked battlefield Thy power
was nigh:
We know Thy spirit as a flaming
Lit up the path of Heroes who would
die
We thank Thee for d noble President
Who, as God sent pilot thro' the
night,
Guided our barque, until America
Stands, midst the Nations, forefront
for the Right.
We thank Thee for that larger Liberty
All countries know, who view our flag
unfurled.
We thank Thee for a Kingdom of the
Free,
That makes a Federation of the World.

NEW YORK SLOW TO gRIToNs

Some Of the many public men of England who have
beeen engaged in war work in America, it be
confessed were not much impressed by the bust
ness methods they found in New York as in other
parts of the country; for example in Philadelphia
Chicago Washington, and the various busy cities
the Middle West There a certain lesureliness in
New York that was piquapt: The work was carried
through, but nobody infany hurry A lively open
mindedness here as elsewhere was a motive force:
but in everyday executive detail have heard more
than one English business remark that there was
a slowness alien to the rest of America even as it
alien TO London.
That hustling New York should give this impress
sion is indeed strange but the fact remains 1t was
part of the unexpecedness which is one of the uplft
ing things in America the European. There has
however, not been one, whether he be banker ship
constructor muntion expert organizer who has not
spoken privately with enthusiasm of the cordiaty in
the Americans heart and the virility in his mind

In Memory of the Dead

Mr.. Editor:
Now that the war is over and we are
about to enter upon the solution of
postwar problems, it occurs to me-
that before we turn our faces to the
future and become too deeply en-
crossed in the problems confronting us
that We should linger long enough to
honor our soldier dead
1t is true that, as osldiers, they need
no encomium pronounced or cenotaph
to perpetuate their fame. 1t shall
never perish from the earth
Their deeds of courage and valor
upon land and sea and in the air
which has inspired the admiration of
the civilized, with trumphet tongue,
proclaims their soldiery qualities in a
voice whose echoes shall never die.
Their work is done. History will
record how well they did it. No page
in the history of this state will shine
with a greater lustre than that which
records the part Arizona played in this
great war, and no page in the history
of the world will record a greater hero
ism than that displayed by her SOL
diers.
To the living who return, it will be
our privilege and our pleasure to
honor them hereafter; to the dead who
sleep beneath the blood stained sod of
France, it is our duty to erect to their
memory a monument of some char
acter which will in some slight degree,
at least, express our gratitude for THY
blessings which their sacrifice vouch, ,
safed to US.
And if I may be permitted to make
a suggestion, it would be that the state
of Arizona erect a monument of native
e
ficient surface of which shall be inlaid
with broze upon which shall be in
scribed the names of Arizonians who
have given their lives to the cause of
humanity; that such monument be
crowned with a statue of the American
