There will be an oppor- tunity for every real American to have try at putting a shot straight through the heart of the chief of the Huns, the chief in this case being a remark able likeness to the original. Four att tractive young women will have charge of this attraction, one that will doubt less be most popular. It is also ru- mored that there will be an oppor- tunity to view that much talked of land of mysteries, No Mans Land.

undying fame is at present matter of no concern to any but the asprants for such immortality.
 The most of us do not who gets the honor licking the Germans just they licked. FIX periments less unvaryng and disastrous have shown in nearly four years that the world must oppose unified front to thoroughly unified foe unless the world is to be conquered in detail
 Such unification cannot be effected by the sug gestion in the Washington comment of the need of an American system distinct from either the French or British army systems" Nor is it yet ap parent that America must contribute the working theory of operations which will bring victory as trench warfare has not done"
 We must not become "brash" and impatient of re- straint and international discipline under which we have placed ourselves. Any theories may evolve of war in which we have had so little practice may not be practical. We should be guided by what our experienced allies have learned in the last four years to do and what not to do.

An Evasion of the Spirit of the Law

The taxpayers of Arizona will hardly be satisfied with either the expressed motive the manner of the Commission State Institutions rejecting the lowest bid for material service to be paid for out of the public treasury. In bid by responsible firm. 23 per cent lower than competitors bid rejected. Again, the bid of the firm, lower by S6 per cent than any competing bid was thrown out The commission would have preferred to award the contract to the higher bidder but there loop-hoe in the law by which that might be done
 But the commission found loop-hole to evade the spirit and purpose of the law by rejecting all of the bids and purchasing the material in the market in at least three amounts, each less than s100 the limit fixed by the law for purchases by this wastefu method The material will probably cost than it would have the highest bid had accepted by the commission
 The saving that would have been made by the acceptance of the lowest bid while it would not have been large as shown, would have been 23 per cent of that bid. The thing could have been done and it may be believed that in similar circum- stances, will done the saving possible should be thousands of dollars instead of only $52.
 The reason given by the commission for disre- garding the saving of public money in this case is that it necessary to insure the completion of cer tain work in tme The meaning of that is that the men employed on that work union carpenters and would not handle material furnished by the lowest bidder who "open shop" That is not a good reason We believe that all of the contracting car penters in Phoenix "open shops with the excep- tion of In two hours force of men could have been put the job, last Saturday. to handle any material that might have been furnished and there would then have been saved two precious days beside the greater amount of money that will have paid because of this evasion of the purpose of the law which was enacted to the peoples money
 @ will he hro1 when the state undertakes construction of the new capitol wing Again "open-shop" concerns will sub init bids and again in order to avoid them if they are lower bds the commission will have purchase the material piecemeal in the open market in less than s1OO lots.
 We have no quarrel with organized labor. On the other hand The Republican has always been very friendly to organized labor and has steadfastly op- posed discrimination against it as such We are strongly opposed to discrimination in it's favor at the cost of the people

We Need More Hospital Room

The war has put brake many legitimate activities has suspended many improvements and has stopped building private and public. But there are needs that cannot be overlooked and in circum- stances should not be overlooked have for instance here the need of greater hospital facilities Within very few years the population of Phoenix has been doubled. But our hospital facilities practically the they five years ago.
 The Deaconess Hospital enterprise is now under way. Much of the work has been done on the first unit of it which will involve expenditure of about s100000. That is not large amount for Phoenix to raise. and, notwithstanding subscriptions to bonds and expenses during the last year. Phoenix never in better financial shape to meet this expenditure Nor would the meeting it detract from Phoenix ability to respond to other war calls
 The main fact, though, and the main argument is that this hospital is needed; that it is most worthy object of the gift and effort of citizens

WHEN LINCOLN KEPT A GOAT

The pasturing of sixteen sheep the White House lawns. described in a Washington dispatch few days ago. recalls how President Lincon's nanny goat browsed there in civil days. Lincoln has left record of the incident himself in the following letter:
 Washington, August S. 1S63-My Dear Wife: All is well as usual and particular trouble anyway I put the money into the treasury at per cent with the privilege of withdrawing it any time upon thirty days notice. suppose you glad to learn this. Tell dear Tad that poor Nanny Goat is lost and Mrs Cuthbert and in distress about it. The day yon left Nanny found resting herself and chewing her little cud on the middle of Tads bed. but now she's gone! The gardener kept complaining that she destroyed the flowers, till it concluded to bring her down to the White House. This done and second day she had disappeared and has been heard of since. This is the last know of poor Nanny'."-From the New York Evening Post.

WESLEY A. HILL
 TO DRIVE TANK

Wesley A Hill stood it just as long as he could and then went and did it. The proprietor of the Apache Trail Stage line. had nothing to fear from the draft. He is well outside the age limit. He was even so well along he could hardly expect to be accepted as volunteer infantryman.
 Then came a call for really expert motorists. Men who understand motor vehicle operation as well as motor con- struction. These men are needed for | a tank division now forming some where in Pennsylvania. With the knowledge of the call came to Wesley Hill realization that in it lay the opportunity for which he had been seeking.
 On Monday evening Hill left for San Francisco to undergo his final physical examination. From there if he suc- ceeds in passing the examination. he will proceed directly to Pennsylvania and will go into the tank service at once.
 Than Wesley Hill there are no better automobile operators. He has negoti- ated the road from Phoenix to Roose- welt so many times, in all types of cars, that he could just about make the trip blindfolded. And he has never met with a serious accident. As the operator of a tank he is bound to

Mir. Schwab, the Guide

The new job of Charles M Schwab which is un- doubtedly the biggest on the allies side of the with the possible exception of that of General Foch brings out many anecdotes of MT. schwab one of which is related by the London Chronicle:
 "Once upon a time Mir Carnegie wished a mountain in Pennsylvania. but lacked guide hefty looking lad grocers errand boy, offered to pilot him for dollar. The ironmaser rendered half the sum- The boy held out the full price, and MT. Carnegie yielded Not that the job worth it, but had to get to the other side of the mountain and Charles M. Schwab was the take there "
 The Chronicle adds:
 Now the allies have to get to the other side of shipbuilding mountain and the same Charles Schwab is to do the guiding but this time without quibble as to price,"
 There are at least two reasons why there was no qubbling this time about the price, One is that MT. Schwab does not need the money badly he the dollar then and sti another is that then it made no difference to him whether MT. Carnegie reached the other side of the mountain. He himself had business the other side of the mountain except to get that dollar. Now Mir Schwab is in the boat with the rest of We all have business the urgent business the other side the shpbuding mountain. The whole country must be piloted across it or the country is lost.
 Though Mir Schwab offered quibbling about remuneration for his services boss of American shipbullding he less pertinacous in the nego- tiatons looking to his employment than he when he holding out for that other half dollar of Mr. Carnege's. He made his terms. rather his term, for there only one, and that that he should be the boss the boss the job not to be nterfered with by cheap red tape clerk by any assistant secretary of anything else, or the secretary himself anybody else.
