INCOMPETENCE IS ACKNOWLEDGED.

The promptness with which the War Department tries to reorganize its incompetent bureaus as each dis closure of the Investigating commit tee makes public some new weakness, is sufficient proof that there should have been a joint bipartisan Congress sional Committee on the conduct of the war. That committee should have been created on the day that war was declared. Nearly every important re- form in the War Department has been forced by public criticism or by Con- gressional investigation. Each con- cession to public demand is one more link in the chain of evidence that con- victs the Department of incompe- tence. The Department denies incom- petence and then proceeds to do, in a half-hearted way, what the disclos- ures prove should have been done at the beginning. If that joint Congress sional Committee had been establish ed and had been active from the day we entered the war, there would have been a great saving of time, money, suffering and life.

THRIFT IS NOT PENURIOUSNESs

If man uses rope lines in his har- ness when he is able to buy leather lines, he is not called thrifty. To deny one proper amount of food and clothing, just because the government has asked that certain foods and ma terials be conserved, is not real thrift Those who have the money, should use it in buying the necessities the same as before. Because we are asked to conserve meats and wheat is no ex- cuse for not buying needed new suit or a new hat. Because farmers with means have been asked to buy Lib erty bonds and to conserve butter and meat and wheat should not be useC as an excuse for them to not buy ne cessary farming machines. Poultry men have been asked to conserve wheat and meat and to help the Red Cross, but this should not suggest that they do without the contemplated new incubator or brooder. A thrift call does not request penuriousness, In order to increase the supply of poultry and eggs, more incubators should be purchased. If truck gardens are to be properly cultivated, new utensils will be needed. If the farmer is to cultivate an increased acreage, he must have more machinery. The thought underlying real thrift is to have as many people as possible em- ployed.

BETTER GET BUSY.

Along with it's other activities, the administration has tariff commits sion in operation--a tariff commits sion originally composed of six men, five of whom supported Wilson in the last campaign. There is now one va- cancy on the commission, due to the transfer of Daniel c. Roper from the Tariff Commission to the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue. With these opponents of a protective tariff constantly at work preparing data to submit to Congress at an un- known time in the future, it behooves the American business man and the American laborer to prepare informa- tion and arguments in defense of their interests. We are buying larger quantities of commodities from China and Japan, as well as from other countries where the war has not in- terfered with our trade. If we let the cheaper production of other nations get permanent hold on our markets we shall either come to the Asiatic and European standard of living or let large numbers of our people go un- employed. We cannot buy goods "Made in Asia" without sending good American gold there to pay the bill

NO SUPERLATIvEs REQUIRED.

The country has had opportunity to digest Secretary Bakers amplified statement of the work of the War Department. The newspapers print ed columns of it; the Official Bulle- tin, under George Creel's editorial management, published it in full; and Senator Ollie James secured a place for it in the Congressional Record. The judgment of the country will be, and is already finding expression to the effect that the War Department has done nothing which calls for su- perlatives in praise. It has done well in some things, very badly in other things, and without extreme good management in anything. MT. Baker has twice shown, before the Senate investigating committee, that he is a good witness, good pleader, and a good public speaker. He has not shown before the committee or else where, that he is an especially capa- ble administrator or a particularly productive speeder-up of things. And this is what the War Department most needs just now.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
 GOVERNOR.

The democratic contest for the nomination for governor promises to be spectacular one of many sides and angles. Just recently Judge Fred Sutter, of Bisbee, and Senator Chas. Roberts, of Willcox, both of Cochise county, announced that they would en- ter the contest along with Senator Fred Colter, Sid Osborn and the ten tative list composed of Governor Hunt, Lamar Cobb, State Land Com missioner Moeur, Chas. Shannon, H. E. Campbell and others. At the pres ent time it looks as though Fred Col ter had the inside in the race with the backing of Hunt, but if Hunt gets in to the race, or if Roberts slams his hat into the ring, this lead of Golfers is very apt to dwindle perceptibly. Former Governor Tom Campbell says he is not candidate, but will be if Hunt or his element dominate the nomination of the democratic can didate. It is not difficult to see that Hunt will either be the candidate him. self or will see to it that the man his machine backs is the nominee. He has never trusted much to luck in his political dealings. During the next month one may expect to see a warm campaign for the primary election and hear things about the candidates which they would not pay for print ing.
 On with the merry dance---the peo- pie will have to pay the freight any how.

POLITICAL ECZEMA EPIDEMIC

There are persistent rumors that there will be another election this fall in Arizona in spite of the supreme court. In fact, there are a number of persons in this county that are appa- rently suffering with a bad case of political eczema, and, it is mighty hard to scratch it out. We hope that the next periodical political debauch will be pulled off in a manner that will permit some of the voters to really register their opinion without the necessity of stub-pencil correction of their views after the ballot is cast There does not seem to be over much law on the subject, but the people have right to object in a limited way, if their whole ticket is worked over after they have gone to the trouble of marking it themselves.

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT.

Whether poor old Arizona is still represented at Washington is still a mooted question. Arizona was most thoroughly represented when it came to volunteers and draft quotas--in fact, we were about 50et over repre- sented in the matter of population to draw soldiers from and there was quite flash in the pan about it. but, Arizona paid on basis of 409,- 900 population just the same. New Mexico, our neighbor on the left go- ing east, with census population al ways given as nearly double ours, got away with population of some 362,- 000-this was to draw soldiers from, When it came to drawing quotas for officers training schools, New Mexico had the bulge on Arizona, about dou- ble the other way about You may lay it to the war department or to our representatives in congress, it was the rottenest deal that was ever pull ed off and the Arizona folks were compelled to stand and take it.
 Arizona has never renigged and has always been willing to take more than it's share of any patriotic bur den, but when they can take some three or four hundred of our boys by that sort of "camouflage", unfairly and unjustly, we are inclined to be- lieve that the fathers and mothers of Arizona have right to make pro. test and claim that they are NOT represented in Washington.
 We are willing to agree that Ari. zona is one of the most, if not the most patriotic state in the Union, but it is unfair to put us in on a 150,. 900 population handicap and tell us that we can like it or lump it. The inference was that Arizona was not very much represented in Washing ington.
 This isn't Wilson's war-this is the American peoples war; it is going to be fought to the finish on these lines When he runs out of relations and other deserving democrats, he will find the brains and brawn of the coun- try ready to "carry on" and mark the line.
 There is calm, set feeling that we will let the feller talk about rocking the boat, but God help the feller that starts to rock it.

FISH SWIM IN.

Are you interested in the fish in- dustry? Then do not be cozened by the free-trader into the belief that the increase shown in our imports of fish is an increase in value and not an increase in bulk. That is what Democratic proponents of the present tariff law are trying to do. Don't be caught by this melancholy bait, else the time will come when you will be one of the "ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,' and Canada will fatten upon your credulity.
 The Democrats free-listed fish They invited the Canadians to send in all they could catch, and never mind the fishermen of the US. And the invitation was extended to Nor way, the Netherlands, Scotland and England. How was it accepted? The European countries nibbled bit and then Canada came along and fairly snapped at it. Here are some figures showing fish imports for the first nine months of 1916 and 1917, com pared with the same period, 1913, the last nine months under protective rates of duty. And, mind you, quan- titles are shown instead of values:
 Nine months ended September
 Cod, Paddock, flake, and Pollock lbs.: 1913, 17,405, ,380; 1916, 40,- 373,734; 1917, 51,290,033.
 Herring: 1913, 46,539,716; 1916, 55,151 ,511; 1917, 47,431 ,233.

It would seem that State Engineer Cobb does not take kindly to the Wildly Jones opinions as attorney general, nor to the activities of the commission on state institutions. His plain statement of facts had the ef- feet of good sized monkey wrench being injected into the state admin istration machinery. However, since the people seem to be willing to stand for most any old thing, it will prob ably be passed over without much oi a jar, even when the main "tank" hits Cobb.

One of the latest and best profit bearing schemes we have heard of re- gently is that of getting elected to a fat state office and then helping to organize a real live oil promotion company, or some such stock compa- ny. With all due regard for the wis dom of Lincoln, who said, "you can fool some of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the peo- pie all the time," if he had lived at this age in Arizona he would have cut this statement down to "Arizonians all the time."

Fresh Fish, 1913, ss,s52,244; 1916,

Fresh Fish, 1913, Ss,652,244; 1916, 58,832,516; 1917, 82,72S,90S.
 The total value of all fish imports for the 1913 period was $10,7O0, ,000; for the 1916 period, $12,700,0O0; for the 1917 period, s15,3O0,000; and dur ing the past three years Canada, our greatest rival has been sending oodles of fish to Europe. This European trade has undoubtedly saved this country from still greater flood of Canadian fish into our market, which will take place after the war unless we get back into protection.
 What thanks has Canada given us for free market? None. On the contrary she has discriminated against our fishermen in respect to sales of bait and against American fishing vessels. Let the U. S.-Can- adian Fisheries Conference, now sit ting, iron these matters out, but for our own part we elect to return to the American industry.

Wonder just how much of Tom Campbell's salary that Governor Hunt received was paid over to the Red Cross? It was rumored just be- fore the supreme court decision that Hunt felt some compunction about taking it along with his salary of SIG per day on the side as federal medi- ator, to which job he was appointed by President Wilson.
