The Hiqh School Board

There will be only candidate for election to membership of the high school board tomorrow Mr. J. M. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart was placed in nomina- tion by friends who knew him best because of his interest in educational matters and his high standing In the community. There some misunderstanding as to his attitude toward the present administration of the high school to which it had been reported he was favorable. Accordingly, those who desired a change secured the consent of Mr. John L. Gust to become a candidate
 It transpires, however that there is no issue that is, no issue which these gentlemen divide Mir Stewart has stated frankly and courageousy to those who were supporting him because they supposed him to be favorable the administration that he does not favor it but that he believes that the com- munity would be better served by change Mir Stewart had previously publicly made known that he under pledge and that he would in no circum- stanves have entered the contest as a pledged can- ddate.
 With this misunderstanding the friends of Mr. Gust have withdrawn his and they urge the unanimous endorsement of MT. Stewart at the elec ton tomorrow

The Election Next Tuesday

We hardly think it will be necessary to urge the voters to turn out at the city election next Tuesday. We think they will be there anyhow. put in order to be the safe side and to make sure or that peaceful sleep at nights, which comes Of the consciousness of having performed a duty we shall continue to remind the voters of Phoenix that the city election will be held at that date that a mayor and two members of the commission will be elected and that it will then be decided whether the city government of the past five years has been satis factory, whether the people want new deal
 The city primary, when it was thought this mat ter might be decided disclosed only that there & sharp and nearly equal division on this issue Of government. More than 4SOo voters expressed them selves and left doubt as to just what wanted. Since then more than 14OO voters who were not reg istered have qualified so that with those already then registered and not voting, will almost cer tainiy have a very spirited election next Tuesday.
 We have so much faith in the people that believe that a very decided majority of them want good government, the best kind of a government But unfortunately the good people never active in working for good government as the bad people in working for loose, easy government one that will not restrict them too much.
 In every election not only in Phoenix but every where, we find the best people unorganized and apathetic unless they been specially stirred by misgovernment, when they angrily turn and effect a deal. They always do that when they get mad But always find the bad people organized and working harmoniousy. Though there are not so many of them, they more active and stick together better. They always at the polls, and bringing others out They always poS their full vote
 That is the only thing to be said in favor of the vicious criminal class bootleggers, pmps, gamblers, etc. They always make of this privilege of cti- zenship. That they make bad of it is another matter. They are, anyhow. within their legal rights in making any of it they please provided they do not violate the election laws. The respectable citizen, too, is within his legal rights in refusing to exercise his privilege. but he is evadng moral duty

Gathering Clouds

One of not even the dearest vision can see the gathering clouds of partsanship rising and swirling in the country and he may well fear it will en- velop the conduct of the If it should so the question will be asked who conjured the storm? It hardly be laid to William Joel Stone In his insane outbreak in the senate months ago he did represent the democratic party not even the democracy of Missouri, bourbon it has always been. Stone acted against the wishes of the demo- cratic leaders. who if they had desired partisan conflict would have elected other instrument than Stone to start it.
 One of the contributing causes of the growing storm has been the resentment with which demo- cratic that is administration congressman have met every criticism, every questioning of war policy when raised by any republican of however undoubted loyalty to the country and the administration in it's conduct of the war. The same resentment has been directed against such eminent and courageous demo- crats as Senators Chamberlain and Hitchcock who have been the leaders in the criticism of certain war policies. though their loyalty could be impugned their records.
 In such circumstances it was impossible that partisanshp should be repressed though it might have been confined within congress and would prob- ably not have initiated against the conduct of the 
 Unfortunately, though, partisanship has been re- leased from congress and taken into Wisconsin
 
 whence it will almost certainly pervade the country in the congressional campaigns this year. In many districts part in the will lost sight of amid party zeal for partisan advantage.
 The republicans think, can claim successfully that they have done nothing to preciptate the storm They have never questioned the right of the admin stration to only democrats for important posi- tons in the management of the war though the selections have not always been wise ones When even political debt was paid by the appointment to the very important shipping board, and when it transpired that that appointment wrecked the board and held up ship construction for months republicans refrained from recrimnation.
 When the Hog Island scandal startled the coun try there was party attempt trace the respons- bllty back beyond the men who were immediately involved in it. As far possible, both in and out of congress, embarrassment of the administration was avoided. We heard only regret from republi- cans and fearless democrats alike that system that permitted such things should be maintained.
 The letter of the president to the democratic candidate for senator from Wisconsin followed so quickly by Vice President Marshalrs fercely partisan tour of that state has opened a tempest in whose fury the country is apt to forget an infinitely more vital matter than the success or even the very existence of any rolitical party.

MAYOR REQUESTS
 AID FUR CLINIC
Phoenix, Ariz., March 2S.

 To the Clergy of Phoenix:
 The week of April 1 to s has been set apart by the Arizona committee on child welfare with the state health department as week for considering the needs of the infants of the city of Phoenix. It has been suggested that the clergy of the city call to the atten- tion of their congregations the plans of the committee in charge of this ex- cellent work. Their purpose is to fix the attention. especially during this week, of the whole city on the proper care of babies, particularly during the infant mortality.
 It is hardly necessary for me to say that this program seems particularly fitting for the churches support. Much has been accomplished in the past four years in the saving and protecting of child life in Phoenix. In order that we may progress still further in reducing infant mortality and promoting the welfare of the citizens of the city, we must have the active cooperation of all citizens, and especially of the re- ligious and civic organizations, which have so much concern for the city's welfare.
 I ask, therefore that you bring this matter to the attention of your con- gregations, urging their cooperation with the committee in charge. (Signed) PETER CORPSTEIN. Mayor of Phoenix.

 CAMP TAR CASE

With view to bringing swift retri- button upon the heads of those men who near Jerome last Tuesday evening tarred, feathered and otherwise mis- treated him, William Waldrop, an of ficial of the miners union in the north ern city, arrived in Phoenix last even ing, and plans to, take the matter up with Attorney General Wiley E. Jones today.
 Reports received here yesterday stated that Waldrop had been kid mapped, but information as to his whereabouts or condition were un- known. The miner completed the story in a statement on his arrival here last night.
 T had just left a picture show" said Waldrop, when machine drew up to the curb, and four masked men, heavily armed, ordered me into the ve- hicle. On my refusal I was dragged bodily into the car, blindfolded and tightly bound, and take to a point about seven miles below Cottonwood, where after being several times ! knocked down, my clothes were cut off, and tar, or rather heavy white oil, and feathers were applied" 1 Following this treatment, the men l threatened to kill him if he ever re- 1 turned to Jerome, Waldrop stated, but as soon as he has finished making the complaint here, he intends to return t. Jerome.
 The trouble started he thought when at a recent meeting he moved that a union representative be giver a place on the ballot at the coming city election.
 Charges of pro- Germanism, and tha of being an industrial agitator were indignantly denied by him. He pro- tested that he was a loyal American citizen and defied the world to dis prove this.
