made by democrats institution manned by democrats, one of them being an acknowledged leader of the democratic party
 Both Mir. Sutter and Mir. Osborn, candidates for the democratic nomination for governor in every speech assailed the commission on state institutions it then constituted and offered it as reason their nomination rather than that of MT. Colter who it wSs assumed, would continue the then comms- sioners in power
 Throughout the campaign the attack was directed against the personnel of the commission and not the institution There then suggestion for its abolition. It until after the election of Gov ernor Campbell that it was proposed to abolish it.
 It is generally admitted that the principle which the commission established was correct one; that better government is made possible by centra zation. As the bill creating it originally pre- scented, the commission would have been rather independent body, but it amended it became possible make it a powerful political machine. It was made factonal machine. powerful enough to control the democratic party. but not enough to stand against republican party and faction of the democratic party.
 We yet believe that the reasons why the commis- sion was created were good and that, through it, the hands of competent intent upon the conduct of the public business and politics it would be useful institution
 The bill re-estabshng the board of control would leave the dominance of it present with the demo- cratic party, whereas the board of control it ised before took the complexion of the governor whether he democrat a republican.
 As a party instrument we do believe that either a commission board of control can be a very useful one The nature of it's work, the manage. ment the institutions, apt create dissen- sion within the dominant party and to promote : keep alive the factional spirit.
 While the proposed board of control would shear the governor of 0 great deal of hS authority it would at the time relieve him of great deal of responsibility which the democratic party this time would assume with all it's pelils.

The Hospital at WhippIe

The proposal for the abandonment of the work at Whpple is characteristic of the hesitation and lack ot purpose of the war department, so frequently mani fcsted during the progress of the war; The intention of the government to establish great convalescent hospital at Whippe either right or wrong in the bc.inuinc The work was one of so great magnitude and the nature it to be so permanent that the department should fully have informed itself whether such hospital base was needed No change of condi- lions has arisen warrant change of ths~depart- mental mind.
 IL may be said that the war has ended earlier than was expected. It may have ended by some months and perhaps by year. sooner than some of us thought but the department when it ordered tilis work surely could not have thought that the war would last forever.
 It has now expended something more than a million dollars in the construction Of steel and con- crete buildings all of which, if the latest order is carried out will last for generations, monument to the governments folly and waste, to which, un fortunately too many costly monuments have reared themselves within the last years It was assumed arom the character of the construction at Whipple that there was to be hospital there for the comfort and rebuilding of soldiers of only the present var but the soldiers of armies which would main tain throughout the life of the nation
 Perhaps now the government still walking among
 
 tre being offered to the Russian bolshevists, it the last of wars; when there will be more armies and consequently. no more convalescent soldiers and therefore an end of the need of military hos rtal for covalescents
 ? This order is a piece with those which were issued immediately after the signing of the armistce for the abandonment of housing operations in hun drcds of cities and towns and the loss of all the millions that had been spent, whereas the completed buildings might be sold to those cities and towns where everywhere housing facilities inadequate
 It is true, of course, that if the government does not need hospital Whpple it cannot dispose of the construction already made there. The completion of the buildings would only add to the waste But the probability that the hospital will be needed is strong, that standing army will be much greater than it before the war; that it would be good business for the government to finish the work
 And there is nowhere in all the world where eli ruatc conditions would more generously lend them- selves to the rebuilding of soldiers wasted in in military duties, than amid the pneclad hills about Prescott

A Tumultuous Home Comino

No sooner is the war put down in one place than it flames in another. Soldiers returning from the hell in France and Belgium to be plunged into another on their return 10 New York Instead of being welcomed by a united, glad, accaimins nation, they will be plunged into the midst of their fighting countrymen in a struggle to determine who shall welcome them back to peace. Rival committees ap- pointed for the purpose of receiving the soldiers with expressions of joy flying at the throat of each other. What home coming for the boys,
 The initial mistake was made by Mayor Hylan, who, by virtue of his position had the appointment of the committee The mistake the appointment of William R. Hearst chairman of the committee A ill-advised appointment could hardly have been made. Eugene V. Debs would not have been less acceptable. The returning soldiers must know that Mr. Hearst in opposition to those things for which they were making sacrifices.
 It was not unnatural that the foremost citizens of New York should decline to the mittee with whose only claim upon the hon. orable position of chairman of such a committee was that he holding political collateral of the mayor. who selected this means of dscharging the obliga- tion. He could have appointed MT. Hearst for other The situation has not been made better by the appointment citizens committee, so that the suggestion is now being made that the debarkaton of troops other than those of New York be made at some other port where the returning sol diers may be received into atmosphere of peaca and signs and of rejoicing.
 The Rocky Mountain club of New York is offering a solution of the affair far the reception of the western troops is concerned It has already been designated the committee formally to welcome the Montana troops and it is in correspondence with ble Arizona and other western legislatures relative
