THOSE HATED "RED COATS"

Editors who hand ont "phony" his
tory ought to be sentenced to read
history. Here comes one OF the lead
ing daily papers Of the Southwest and
editorially hands out this class of
history
ut Is true that Pitt and other
far-seeing British statesmen OF the
time did not hesitate to voice their
protest against the treatment OF
the colonies by Great Britain; but
IL. as Sir Roberts words lead one
10 believe, there was n general
popular sentiment In England In
sympathy with the colonists In
their struggles for independence,
the history of the times does not
record II. There was no difficulty
In raising an army to send across
5000 miles of ocean to keep the
colcnists i'm subsection. In other
words, II the English people Of

colonists they had queer way Of
showing IT,"
II $ true that the little red school
history didn't say much about the
political connection between the revolt
of the American colonies and the par
limentary war" that was waged
against George III by his subjects
both In England and America, but an
editor certainly should have sought
more and better information. Fortu-
nately Englishmen were able to bring
their sovereign to terms without TAX
ing up arms, but II Is a fact that they
sympathized and actually assisted tie
American colonies in their revolt be-
cause they believed that the cause of
the colonists was bound up with the
freedom OF Englismen In the mother
country which had been challenged by
n German king on an English throne.
Washington was actually spoken Of as
"our general In the house of commons
and a victory by the little ragged band
OF insurrectionists which he led was
hailed with enthusiasm by the Wings.
Parliament never fully cooperated to
bring the war in America to a success
ful end. Men and money were with

airy force was so difficult that George
III had to hire German mencenaries
to carry out his hated policies. II was
at the time that the failure
was due largely TO the English gen.
erals who did not move vigorously
against Washington In the field. Any
military critic can only
that the British forces In
Amerssa had no intention of putting
down the rebellion, because II Is folly
to think that the veteran soldiers and
leaders could not have stamped out
In short order had they so
desired.

supposedly to protect women
workers in an eight-hour day.
The only change made in the old
law by the new bill is extending
the hours to fourteen instead of
twelve in which the eight hours
labor is performed, where the
female resides at the place Of her
employment, or within four hun
dred yards. But the joker is
still in the new bill in the closing
provision, That the provisions
of this section shall not ap-
ply to females in any such tele-
phone or tie e gra ph or ex-
change in which not more than
three females are employed. :"
Why the exceptions? The only
authority the legislature has to
regulate the hours of employment
comes from their power to regu-
late the morals and health of the
citizens, and the United States
Supreme Court has held that is
where tn e legislatures derive
their authority. Where not more
than three females are employed

President Wilson at least ought
to bring back all our soldier boys
and have them discharged from
the service before he submits his
League of Nations plan to this
country. The boys who have
borne the hardships oversee are
at least entitled to be heard free
from restraint of military disci-
pline. Let them have a voice in
expressing their opinion of mix
ing in with the European nations
and sending American soldiers to
those countries to do police duty.
President Wilson is quartered in

Senator Winsor, of Yuma coun-
ty, made good fight to defeat
the land steal bill, known as the
leasing bill, which will remove
the limitations on the amount of
land any one, individual, firm or
corporation, may lease from the
state. and extending the life of
the leases to twenty years. Un-
der the present law only 160
acres of agricultural land or $40
acres of grazing land can be
leased by any one person, firm
or corporation, and the lease only
runs for five years. The same
proposition was submitted to the
voters last fall, and they defeat
ed it, and yet we are told the
members of the legislature are
representing the people. If this
law passes the legislature we
hope Gov. Campbell will kill it
with his veto. so it can be said
the people have at least one pub
lie servant who will heed the
voice of the people instead of a
gang of land grabbers.

The hurry call for the meeting
of the democratic state central
committee, the federal brigade
and the politicians, to meet in
Phoenix last week. was for the
purpose of trying to bolster up
the wavering democratic major
ity in the legislature who were
wearying of being mere pawns
in the hands of scheming poll
ticians, and were manifesting a
disposition to assert their inde-
pendence and work and vote for
the benefit of the state. Anoth-
er matter taken up was the read
ing out of the party the Phoenix
Gazette, but up to the hour of
going to press we have not heard
that the Gazette has accepted
the dictum of the state commit
tee. We would suggest to the
democratic committee that they
cannot suspend the operation of
the United States constitution by
resolution. That ancient and re-
vered document guarantees to
every citizen the freedom of polit-
lcal and religious liberty.
