WHY MURDER IS RAMPANT.

That there is no law on the statute books of Arizona saying: Murder is punishable by hanging by the neck until dead," has caused many a mur- der in cold blood. Hunt and his ele- ment were responsible for having cap ital punishment laws repealed. A cow ard wants the laws so arranged that he can shoot a man in the back and get away with his miserable carcass under a set of laws that will permit it!' A Cody man, with righteous cause--or one to him thatsseems such --is perfectly willing to take his chances with his fellowmen.5 That mur- der is rampant in Arizona is known in all parts of the state. Who wanted such laws? Who are the people who advocate them? Why should every man carry a gun? Today the mere killing of someone you do not happen to like is a less crime than that of "bootlegging'--however, we are not asking favors for either murderers or bootleggers. Poison your best friend, shoot your ,neighbor in the back-it's all the same; they never had chance for their lives, but the murderer has all the chance in the world aside from the courts and the positive knowledge that his miserable carcass cannot be damaged except for few years in a very comfortable prison, where he is treated better than he could possibly treat himself with all the labor he had ever performed for the benefit of mankind.

DEMOCRATS WANT
 J.E. JONES FOR JUDGE

Judge J. F.. Jones, who has been one of the prominent legal lights of north ern Arizona since way back in 1888, will be candidate on the Democratic ticket at the primaries September 10th for the office of Superior judge of Co., conino county.
 There is no need of his going back into history to prove his standing as a Democrat, for he was born in Ten nessee, raised in Arkansaw, and even at that is willing to admit that he has made few mistakes since he was ad- mitted to the bar in 1871.
 Judge "Eddie" Jones has always been a popular candidate whenever he run for an office, but he never had a great deal of desire for political pre- ferment, consequently was seldom a candidate. He has never taken taken the stand that the machinery of the law was against man merely be- cause he happened to be under arrest, but was more often found on the de- fense in cases coming before the courts; this, however, is not meant to say that law as provided by the statutes should not be enforced, for such a charge was never brought against him.
 He has lived many years in Flag staff and the western country and is well acquainted with conditions and the people.

A DISCRIMINATING BADGE
 SCHEME,

The scheme of the Department of Labor regarding the war industries badge will need some revision. Only those engaged on government con- tracts are to be eligible for the wear ing of the badge. A man working eight hours in shop that makes shirts for soldiers is permitted to wear the civilian war service badge while the farmer who works twelve hours or more to produce wheat for the same soldiers gets no recognition, unless it be printed copy of the Presidents message yetoing the act passed by Congress fixing a price of $2.40 on his product. Then again, badges can be issiAd only in shops that comply with the yegulations pf the War Labor Policies Board, so that <he right of the ennploye to the badge depends not upon himself alone but upon his em- ployer. We can't imagine very many fellows standing on the street wear ing those badges when the boys come marching home from France.3

LIEUT.. MADDOCK WILL
 RUN FOR CONGRESS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 22.--Lieut. Thomas Maddock, who has been in France since May, will be the Repub- lican nominee for Congress this fall, opposing Carl Hayden, who has repre- sented the state in the House of Rep resentatives since statehood.
 At the meeting of the Republican state committee held at Douglas July 8, Lieut.. Maddock was unanimously endorsed for Congress. Andrew Bau- inert, IT,, secretary of the State com mittee, was requested to cable for his consent. MT. Baumert has just re- ceived a cablegram from Lieut.. Mad dock consenting to make the race.
 Lieut.. Maddock is one of the best known citizens of the state. He was chairman of the Republican state committee in 1916, conducting the Campbell campaign. He made splen- did record as a member of the first state legislature from Coconino coun- ty. He volunteered last February, trained at American University, was commissioned first lieutenant and sailed for France in May.
 Mir. Maddock's home is in Williams. Mrs. Maddock and their four children are living in Phoenix until the war is over and MT. Maddock returns.
 A number of prominent Democrats in the state are openly supporting MT. Maddock because of his war views and his splendid qualifications. He has won high reputation as man of action. '~

A MIGHTY GOOD MAN
 FOR THE STATE SENATE

Hon. T. H. Cureton, who was elected to the house in the last state legis- lature from Coconino county, an- nounces his candidacy for the state senate at the coming election on the Republican ticket.
 MT. Cureton has done many things during the last strenuous sessions of the legislature which should entitle him to the votes of the people of all classes. There have been no legitimate bills in the interest of the laboring man or the rancher and small stock man that he has not conscientiously advocated and voted for.
 He has the advantage of other rep resentatives, in that he has been ad- mitted to the bar, and with his knowl- edge of law and it's operations, can pick out the "jokers" and errors that cost people much money and trouble when carelessly inacted into law. He has taught school and worked ranch; the knows the stockman's side and he knows the school necessities and is 8 firm advocate of better conditions; he is no mean antagonist in debate and is one of the kind that cannot be "camouflaged" into believing things that cannot be proven.
 Representative Cureton has a clean open record that he will defend at any time and that he is able to do it he has demonstrated more than once or the floor of the house against big

Fred Colter strenuously denies that Hunt is behind him in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor. Rather strange that the employees of the Hunt administration all seem to be doing all they can for Colter in every part of the state. "Uncle Billy" Moeur saw the hand writing on the wall after a canvass of the state and withdrew from the race in favor of Sid Osborn. His letter of withdrawal would indicate that he felt the nomination of Colter would re- suit in a disaster to the Democratic party in the state.

CONSERVATION OF PAPER.

The men whom the government has chosen to regulate the publication of the newspapers of the country, are issuing orders that all publishers must conserve print paper by reducing the size of their publications and follow certain rules that are sure to work somewhat of hardship by reducing the income of the establishments.
 Yet the same regulators" are send ing to the newspapers every day liter ally tons of typewriter "copy" which they ask the newspapers to publish free of charge.
 The local newspapers have been the mediums by which the Liberty Loans have been made the success they were. They have boosted all loans, whether for the war funds, Red Cross, Y. M c. A., or army and marine recruiting, and have been proud to be able to do their 'bit" at all times, without pay Yet every office doubtless has had the same experience as has The Tribune
 The paid writers of the publicity de- partment are sending through the mails daily more typewriter mate rial than would fill every, column of the Daily Tribune. Practically all oi this paper is a complete loss, for nine. tenths of it goes into theJwaste has ket without being read. bl1ow edi Q:
 Would it be too much t6sask that the young men who are drawing sal aries for writing and burdening tn, mails for their effusions--much oI which is not up to the school-boy av craze of merit-do little conserving of high-priced paper themselves ?- Mesa Tribune.

With the announcement of w. A. Moeur's withdrawal from the race for the governorship in favor of Sidney P. Osborn, an interesting argument was heard between a substantial sup porter of Moeur and one of Osborn. The Moeur supporter contended that Osborn should have withdrawn iD- stead of Moeur, that Moeur was over the age limit for the draft, and that Osborn was in it-that he could go to war and Moeur could be governor. But the Osborn supporter put forth the argument that Osborn could be ex- empted.
 In conversation with a lawyer in terested in the suit brought by An drew Baumert, Jr., in behalf of the tax commissioner, the interested law yer contended that while they were beaten in the lower court, they expect ed decision in their favor about the 18th of October, allowing three days for the state committees to place the name of some candidate on the bal lot. When the attorney was asked how he figured that the Supreme court would reverse the decision of the lower court in their favor, he said that was easy. "We skinned you out of a governor, and we ought to be able to skin you out of tax commissioner"
 Editor Mills of the Messenger is credited with the assertion that while Hunt favors Colter, he would be per fectly satisfied with Osborn; that he really has nothing against Osborn, but feels that he is inexperienced and too young to fill the chair of govern or of Arizona; that Moeur would have been better man for the place, and that he would have been very accept able to Governor Hunt. The only can didate that Hunt really is against is Fred Sutter.

GETTING THE FACTS.

In view of the close relations exist ing between Hearst and the Wilson administration, it must be rather em- barrassing to have evidence iptro7 duced in court showing close relations between Hearst and Bolo Pasha and Hearst and Count von Bernstorff up to December, 1916. AS President Will son says, you can trust the people if you give them the facts. And they are slowly getting the facts.

odds, and, to his credit, it may be said that he was usually successful. He has proven conclusively that he can be trusted with the interests of the whole people, and he fully represents all the people without distinction as to class or kind.
 He has been active in every patriot ic work necessary for the winning of the war and is not in the least diff dent in stating his position on any subject of legislation. Hard-headed men are needed in these parlous times, and Cureton has these quali- fications, tempered with a good work ing knowledge of the needs of the peo- pie at this time.

One hundred and one "ingrowing" |. w. W. in Chicago were found guilty of all the miserable crimes charged against them and were sentenced to pay fines of $1O,000 with a sentence of ,twenty-seven years in the peniten- tiary. If such charges and crimes proven against them had been made in Germany against the German govern ment, every one of the traitorous bunch would have been nicely planted in rows to grow up with the weeds, instead of spending nearly a year and vast sum of money on their cases. The best guess is that that is the req son that such people come to this country--or are allowed to grow up here

SHARING DIsCOMFuKrS HELPS.

Press dispatches announce that after riding on an ordinary train and ob- serving the crowded conditions in or dinary passenger cars, Director of Railroads McAdoo' has, ordered more passenger cars put inservice. Now if he will just leave his pass at home and line up with the rest of us at the ticket window and stand there till his feet ache, he will restore some of the discontinued ticket purchasing facili- ties. If Mir. Burleson and Mir. Baker had sons in France getting their maA in the same way that other boys are getting it, we guess there would not have been so much complaint of delay. If Mir.

Republicans in many counties are devoting their energies to getting good legislative candidates in the field. Word comes from Santa Cruz that Dr. Ray Ferguson will again be a candidate for the state senate. He represented that county in the last senate. Frank J. Barry, one of the most successful lawyers in the south ern part of the state, will be candi- date for the lower house from Santa Cruz county on the Republican ticket. In Pima county, Albert R. Buehman, member of the last house, and son of Former Mayor Henry Buehman of Tucson, will be a candidate for the state senate. Albert Buehman was born in Tucson, and has a splendid record. His colleague on the ticket will be Fred O. Goodell, who made a fine record as member of the last senate from Pima county. Both of these men seem certain of election. Frank P. Moore, former member of the Livestock Sanitary Board, and Bassett Watkins, two of the best known men in Cochise county, will be the Republican nominees for the sem ate in that county.

It has developed that good many blank ballots for the primaries and the instructions accompanying them, which have been sent to soldier voters in both the army and .navy service will not reach their destination. Re- turn cards are being received at the offices of the boards, of supervisors from army camps and cantonments bringing the information that the ad- dresses of the soldiers are not known and they are not there. In most cases they have been transferred to other points. Many of the soldiers who have gone out within the last month have taken their ballots with them, to be filled out and returned upon their arrival at their destination, and some have washed their hands of the whole business by voting and leaving thei, ballots with the local board. The sol diers' vote will be largely a farce, as under the system adopted by the leg. islature not 10 per cent of them will
 get to vote. .~

Latest estimates place Fred Golfer far in the lead in the Democratic pri- mary. It is now freely predicted that Colter's majority will be from 5000 to 4,O00, and that he may obtain a majority over all of the other candi- dates at the primary. All of his op- ponents, Sutter, Osborn and Cobb, ad- init that Colter is the man they have to beat, because he has he support of the Hunt machine. All of these gen. tlemen believe that they will run sec ond if not first at the primary. The best informed men in the party be- lieve that Sutter or Osborn will be sec ond man, but far behind Colter. The radicals are supporting the Hunt fa- vorite to man.
