 The Republics staff clairvoyant being on a va cation, we are compelled to admit that we do not know how the people going to vote even right here in the Middle West itself Judging by the gen eral temper of the people however it is possible form notion that few 50 per cnt. Americans of Democratc affiliations may be nominated, and if they are they will go down to deserved defeat
 It also seems clear that the voters will favor Democratlc nominees, wherever they the right sort of Americans, because Democrats may be ex- pected to give their whoe-hearted support to ali Administration that must be supported in order to win the war sample fact to support this view may be found in the vote the resolution giving the President control of the telegraph and tele- phoie for the duraton of the war.

 proved an ideal site. Fourth street from Washington to Jefferson street is given over to the midway of the combined shows and a big arch erected at that point through which patrons
 must pass. There are two or three large vacant lots on Jefferson and
 Fourth streets which, together with | the street, gives ample space for the | needs of the carnival

 ceive a liberal percentage of the gross | receipts and the net receipts of the | lodge from this source are to be de-

SCHOOL FUNDS
 ARE EXHAUSTED

Confronted by the unwelcome an nouncement, made yesterday by the state auditor. Jesse L. Boyce, that the funds for the maintenance of the state industrial school at Fort Grant were exhausted, the commission of state in- stitutions hurriedly communicated with the attorney general for an opinion concerning the means of securing the necessary money to run that institu- tion.
 The industrial school appropriation of $35,000, it was stated, had been ex- hausted on December 31, 1917, and that there could be no further appropri- atiOn until June 30, 1918. The attorney general replied that it was not neces- sary to close the institution, but, in- stead, that the unlimited appropriation of the commission of state institutions could be drawn upon to care for the needs of the industrial school until a further appropriation of it's own could be made.
 According to a further statement from the office of the commission of state institutions there is little money left in the funds for the maintenance of pioneers home at Prescott and the state prison at Florence. These other two institutions, it was declared may have to be "carried on'' by means of the commissions very handy unlimited appropriation.

HUME TROUBLES
 CAUSE M|SDEEDS

The domestic difficulties of the parents which led to the boys being passed from one to the other after their divorce was stated in court to have been responsible for subsequent misdeeds of Clifford Simpler. the 19- year-old Oklahoma boy who stole George Purdy Bullards automobile. The theft occurred during fair week and it was many weeks later that the car and the boy were located in Hum- boldt.
 Yesterday Simpler pleaded guilty to grand larceny. With tears in his eyes and head downcast he heard his at torney, Fred Blair Townsend, ask the court for a suspended sentence. He then heard Senator Logan, long friend of his father, who came to this city from Oklahoma for the fathers sake plead with the court for leniency.
 Senator Logan assured the court that if he could see his way to impose a suspended sentence he would see that young Simpler was placed in school in Oklahoma and in the proper environ ment.
 MT. Bullard was called upon by the court, who left the matter entirely to the courts discretion. The county at torney did not oppose a suspended sen tence, although Harry Johnson, assist ant county attorney, informed the court that Simpler had served time in
 Yavapai county for grand larceny. l Judge Stanford imposed a ten-year suspended sentence on condition that l Simpler return to Oklahoma with Sen ator Logan, pay the courts cost, the sheriff's expense in the case and the
 damage to the Oldsmobile roadster.

WAR SHOWS VALUE OF
 INLAND WATERWAYS

If there were now in existence a continuous inland waterway. F feet deep, extending along the whole At lantic coast, from New England to Florida, this country would save mil lions of money and months of valuable time, now being lost because of rail- way congestion. The saving of money thus effected in a few months would certainly be enough and more than enough to pay the cost of making this waterway.
 This is one of the lessons of the war. It is a pity that it could be taught only by experience. What will come of the lesson is now the subject of much speculation. There is a con- siderable demand that we begin to apply it at once and start immediately to make the waterway that should have been made years ago. The plan has able advocates.

SERIOUS CHARGE
 |S GROUNDLESS

The adultery charge against Mrs. B. H. Metzler and Marry Evans, brought by the husband, was dismissed by Jus tice Wheeler yesterday after listening to the evidence. The evidence was given by the husband and his small daughter and it was the latter's testi- mony which indicated the charge was groundless. It was also brought out that Metzler and his wife do not live together and that he has applied for a divorce.
 Metzler was asked if it were not true that his reason in bringing the adultery action was to aid him in securing a decree and denied this explaining that he had brought the action on account of his daughter. He said Mrs. Metzler
