AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE IS SAVED

''There must be effective reservations
 Those are the words of Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee They embody the unalterable determination of majority of the United States Senate, of the Republican party, and of the American people, There need be no further concern respecting the preservation of the independence of this Repub- lie. The fight has been won. Those who are un- wisely conveying the contrary impression to the president are either ignorant or deluded or vain ly bluffing. We are telling him the truth. Soon- CT or later he will realize that fact. The sooner the better for the country and for himself
 What, precisely, are those reservations? MT. Hays sets them forth succinctly and accurately in these words:
 These reservations must safeguard the sov- ereignty of the United States in every particu- lar; must guarantee the Monroe Doctrine beyond the shadow of doubt; must either eliminate Article X entirely or so modify it that our own Congress shall be morally as well as legally free after specified period to decide when and where and to what extent our soldiers shall be en- ployed; must retain our full control of immigra- tion, tariff and all other purely domestic poli- cies, and must provide full rights to withdraw from the league at any time without hindrance or conditions of any kind, upon giving suitable notice"
 MT. Hays does not say in so many words that he would advocate ratification of the treaty if these reservations were incorporated, but the So would Senator Lodge So would practically all of the Republican senators. Consequently. Mr. Hays is fully warranted in adding:
 Tt IS up to the administration to decide now whether it will will not accept these essential guarantees of American independence, which would unquestionably be promptly accepted by the other nations. ns."-Harvey's Weekly.

JUDGE EDWARD M. DOE

Judge Edward M. Doe is dead, but his mem- ory will mark itself indelibly upon the history of Flagstaff and the State of Arizona. In his passing Arizona loses not only one of it's best legal minds, but man who will be grievously missed by sturdy friends in every walk of life His friendship was worth more than gold, for it never faltered, no matter how rugged the way {; it was of that unfailing kind so rarely found. He was man of the highest ideals and lived them with no fear of the end or of men.
 Honor to him was far greater than wealth gained at the expense of his fellowman and hoarded for selfish use. His highest purpose was the accumulation of wealth of greater value, that of friendships that will never fade until those friends too, join him with the great silent majority That all shall pass that way is inevitable, and was known in the beginning, yet we loved him and shall miss the great heart and brilliant intellect of the man-for he was MAN and nobleman in his own right.

POLITICAL GRAPEVINE SPECIAL

The grapevine" is a wonderful means of transmission during these wireless days, and since the meeting of the state tax makers at Grand Canyon, there has been lot of wires working along political lines which are interest ing. Among the dispatches going over the wires is one decoded to read that Timothy A. Riordan, of Flagstaff, would make a most acceptable can didate for the office of governor, and Democrats seem to claim him as one of their party who would satisfactorily answer all the specifications of the man for the place. The north has real ized T. A. as tall timber for good many years, and that he considerably oversizes many of the scrub cedar used for the post in recent years; !; also that he would be a heap more than whist ling post if he ever consented to give up his time to the place. However, if he should make up his mind to accept the draft" it looks as though Flagstaff would lose another good citizen for a couple of years.

One l. w. w. witness in the deportation trial at Bisbee was frank at least. When asked if he would have remained at Columbus, N. M., if the government continued to feed and room him, ex- claimed in a surprised tone of voice, 'Why, Ger. tainlyw He also said the intention of the I. w.. w. members was to strike for six-hour day, and when they got that, to strike for four hour day, then two-hour day; but he, ind- vidually, wanted to strike for the two-hour day first, and be through with it until something else turned up they could strike for. Between the capitalistic ideas as presented by the "big fve'' packers, and the 1. w. w., the middle class who are willing to work for living, have little to choose from. The middle class seems to be hold ing the sack for both elements.

About the first thing stranger says when he comes to Flagstaff is: "Why don't you have more houses to rent and places for people to stay when they come here; it is wonderful place and would be twice as large in year or two if there were accommodations for people," For many long years this with a thousand other comments of a similar trend has been heard until it gets to be only another mean whack in a sore spot. A large number of people, just to show their independence, have come here and brought tents along to live in until they could get better quarters-they came whether Flag staff people wanted them to or not.

Editor Chapman in secret communication concerning Wall Street imitation, says that he has sold the Winslow Mail. He fails to state why, who to- or any because; but it does seem "onery' on his part to quit right in the middle of the road this way without any information as to whether or not his successor will stand for us kicking him around now and then when the spirit moves us. Whatsumever he does, and wheresumever he goes, they will find that he is plumb man" from shuck to inner shack and can not be kept out of the middle of the road

It is rather amusing to see Democratic news papers now pointing to the high cost of living with horror and asking the Republicans to do something about it immediately. During their years of reign they have piled up wreckage and costs, from tax on kids candy to pajamas, then demand that the new Republican Congress undo in few months what they have been piling up for years. The Democratic party has always been strong on tying knots into things and then standing by and growing. while the other fellow is getting them united.

Judge Frank O. Smith, who recently returned from overseas, is being more than honorably mentioned as candidate for the nomination on the Republican ticket for the office of judge of the supreme court Judge Smith stands high as a member of the Arizona bar and one whose patriotism led him to resign as superior judge of Yavapai county for overseas duty. He is widely known throughout the state and would be a splendid man for that high office.

Mexico will never have much respect for the United States until they are permanently shown that we have some respect for our citizenship and are "not too proud" to resent the murdering of Americans. If it had not been for American money and brains there would have been little development of the resources of that country and the Yaquis would still be dominant.

The war department may have as excuse for not turning loose all the surplus meat bought of the packers for army use, that the stuff fur nished them under contract was not fit for use on the open market to the public. At least, if the stories told by soldiers and some of the mess sergeants are true, it would be mighty hard stuff to get rid of at any price.

STATE HAIL LOSS
UNDER 100000
Reserve Fund Of Close to Three Quar-.
ter Million This Year

Aberdeen American-Thus far and
not counting claims to be fled under
the last hail in the county this week
Brown county premiums paid the state
have more than paid all the losses un.
der the new hail insurance law &C
cording to Field Agent j. E. vanCamr
of the state insurance department who
was in the city the other day.
He says that the law is proving
itself a great boon to the farmers OIL
the state and in practice is working
out to fine advantage all around
From Brown county 1914. 900 in pre-.
miums has been paid and $4,000 has
been allowed in the whole state.
These losses will be paid in Sep
TENDER according to the plans of the
department. While payment are not
due until after next January /, plans
are being made to pay up as oon as
the information comes to the stats
of the assured amount of premiums
due from the various counties.
II has been found that the eastern
part of the state which claimed to be
out of the hail belt has suffered the
heaviest losses this year. In Lake
county there were losses of 80 per
cent of crop. Up to July 10 there had
been but two losses in the state
amounting to a total of $315.5O.
Mr.. vanCamp says that about forty
per cent of the crop of the state is
covered under the state insurance
which guarantees a maximum of $40
an acre in case of loss. He a y that
the law has been cordially received
and next year he believes that twice
as much or more than this year will
be carried.
The indications now are that there
will be a reserve fund of half to three
quarters of a million in the hail in
surance fund after the losses of this
year are paid.
Looking into the future, MI. Van
Camp says that it is estimated that
within five or seven years hail in
surance rates in South Dakota under
the state plan will be written for as
low as five and ten cents an acre AS
soon as the reserve reaches $500. 900
then the commissioner is employed to
reduce the rate and he intends to do
so.
