,XnIos SECOND COUNTY
 WITH POPULATION OF 5s,2fs

Cochise county ranks second in population in Arizona at the pres ent time, according to an estimate issued yesterday by Secretary V. A. Wood of the state tax commission at Phoenix. The Cochise figures are set at 5s.219. Maricopa county leads with s4,519. The state population is estimated at 39s,952.
 This figure is far in excess of the total Of population figures as given ir the last issue of the Arizona Bluc Book. compiled by Nit Simms, secre- tary of state. The population of the state according to the blue book is 277,S36.
 In arriving at the present popula- ,ion of the state Wood has followed the method adopted by the tax com mission last year of basing the est mate on the present school popa'ition Frank Dykes. deputy state supe.in ;endent of public instruction has :dst compiled the school census ard the figures for each county have been multiplied by certain figure repres- snting the ratio between the school census figures and the total popula- ton in 1910. acording to the govern ment census.
 The total of 29s,952 includes Ind :ans. in 1910. according 10 govern mert figures the Indian population was 22,2ol Assuming that this is constant, this leaves 360.751 as. rep -esenting all other residents. This is an increase of 25.Sso over the est;. mate for last year.

GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

Mayor Smith has made a sensational report
to the city commissioners on certain features
of the food situation in Omaha. He charges
that cars containing food have stood on the
side tracks in the railroad yards until the food
rotted; that within few days eleven carloads
of edibles have been permitted to go to waste,
while exorbitant prices are being charged con-
sumers
The mayor has made public, in advance of
official inquiry, the names of two commission
firms to whom this food was consigned. He
accepts full responsibility for his allegations,
which are stoutly denied by the men involved.
The county attorney is reported to have
said that no law exists for the punishment of
a prohteer, unless criminal conspiracy can be
shown However, the detestaton of honest men
will reach the individual who deliberately per-
mts needed food to decay in order that alb
normal profits may be had from what is sold.
With all the agencies of organized govern
ment actively engaged in the investigation of
the food situation, the mayor should find no
trouble in getting his complaint before the
authorities.
The law may not reach them, but public
indignation will visit on them such obloquy as
will forever end their proft-taking in this part
of the world. Get to the bottom of these
charges and let the people know the truth.

American1zing Hotel Kitchens

The National Hotel Mems association in
session at Chicago, with delegates from every
state, is reported to be devoting much atten-
ton to the characterization of the hotel
Kitchens" There is an exposition in connec-
ton with the meeting, with 800 exhibits to
demonstrate just how food cooked as the
American mother used to- really tastes, and
how much more economical it is. The claims
as to economy upset traditions. The foreign
chefs were supposed to make wonderful dishes
OF parts Of meat the American mothers found
impossible. They were also suspected of
secret triumphs of salvage. and even yet the
suspicious patron of hotel avoids most meat
mixtures, because of doubt as to antecedents.
Some of mothers dishes were eaten with a
blind trust which no hotel can ever inspire.
Nor does the current menu seem nearly as ex-
travagant in prices tor meat orders as tor side
Dishes simple vegetables that cost almost as
much square meals in other days. This is
not the work of the chef. but of the proprietor.
Avarce is not an exotic. When man orders
cold slaw at price that would make cabbages
worth $3.50 a head, he has no thoughts of
AUGMENTATION.
But these questions aside, there is doubt
as to the universal appeal of mothers cook
ing" There were as many styles of cooking
as there were mothers Some fried steak I'M
til it was hard as adamant. Some served i'm
possible saeratus biscuits. Some made soup
indistinguishable from dishwater There were
used grease to degree that brought dyspep-
STA to every member of the household. Only
the hunger of growing youth and inexperience
made the eating of such meals possible and
in some families dried beef and canned stuff
were luxures. Some mothers made corn
bread that was an abominaton. while others
made it more palatable than ambrosa. Every
mans own mother was, of course, wonderful
cook; it was only when he went visiting that
he discovered other womens limitations.
Even the mothers that can really cook con-
slider it treat occasionally to try hotel cook
ing. They are very modest about culinary
skill They show far more vanity over their
skill in cutting boys hair. Yet no barber that
ever lived put out a sign guaranteeing hair
cuts such as mother used to give-St. Louis

ODE FOR CHATEAU THIERRY

At Concord and at Lexington
The fight for Freedom was begun;
And thence the names ran down the
years,
Baptized In patriot blood and tears.
Until at Yorktown 1t was won.
And when full circle swung the wheel
And Sumter struck it's fierice appeal,
Then brothers fought and won and lost
Tried in white-hot holocaust,
Till Appomattox set the seal.
The slow years healed; the sacrifice
Left but a phantom scar. The dice
Fate flung at San Juan came to blot
What we had feared remained was not
We paid, but 1t was worth the price.
And SO Columbia rose to might!
Through trial and travail, in despite
+ OF all the pitfalls, gins and snares,
The counterplay Of diverse cares,
Freedom had held her beacon light.
Then was that light uplifted. yet
High as the highest planet set.
Till all might it there and know
The torch for what 1t was. Its glow
Enkindled earth a coronet.
And In the lifting did we pour
Dear blood we had done before,
Blood that shall sanctify the place
AS of the Lords Astounding grace
Shrine at a pilgrimages core
So in the years to come. Romance
Shall link that little town of France
With Gettysburg and Bunker Hill,
And genera tions far shall thrill
Anew at their Inheritance!

Settling the Shop Hands Strike.

Chairman Cummins of the senate committee
on interstate commerce in most deferentlal
manner passed the shop hands strike back to
the president, who in turn slips the buck along
to Director General Hines of the railway ad-
ministration. The law under which the roads
were taken over gives the president ample
power to deal with wages. Therefore the men
must go to the administrator and not to con-
gress for relief. This will apply also to the
trainmen and clerks, freight handlers and all
other classes of railroad help.
With this point settled, the next thing is to
get regular train service re-established. Di-
rector Hines is quoted as having served notice
on the strikers they can look for no relief until
they are back on the job. One of the peculiar
features of the strike is that it was called and
pursued in defiance of the laws or the leaders
of the several unions involved The men rebel
liously set aside all their own regulations and
undertook to enforce action by a threat to tie
up the transportation industry of the country
The 100000 strikers boosted by the secretary Of
the disqualification" has come down to 10000
under the estimate of Mr.. Hines but even that
number is a menace, because it represents a
lawless force.
These men must understand that higher
wages can not be paid until something in the
way of wealth is produced to meet the demand.
If they stop all production, as one of their
officers threatened, the source of wages is de-
stroyed. This simple fact is so obvious as to
need no illustration. Until the men get back
to work, there can be nc thought of increasing
wages for there will be no money wherewith to
pay anything.
Some really vigorous action by the govern
ment on this point just will be of great
help in settling the strike.

Hitchcock Expects to Retire"

GO away from home to learn the news"
still holds good. From Boston we get the in
formation that Senator Hitchcock expects to
retire" to private life at the close of his pres
emf term. 1t is quite possible he may be able
to reconcile the voters of Nebraska to this con-
clusion, and that his retirement will be
facilitated to such an extent as will make it
very certain. AS matter of fact, his presence
in the senate is due to combination he never
may hope to encounter again. Supported by
the wet and pro-German element of Nebraska,
whose gratitude he had earned by aiding the
kaiser's cause in every way possible, he was
finally rescued from defeat by the tremendous
Wilson wave. In fact he has the unique dis
tinction of being the only man ever elected to
office in this state who ran $4,000 votes behind
the head of his ticket. Whatever of longing he
may have for the quiet life of private citizen
undoubtedly springs from his astute apprecia
ton of the circumstances attending his last en-
counter with the voters and dread of another,

Daniels and Free Speech.

Suppression of Admiral Rodmans speech at
San Diego by the secretary of the navy is GER
tain to excite much more comment than would
have followed the address had it been dev-
ered Mr.. Daniels followed precedent estab-
lished by his chief, who compelled the Order
of Carbao to desist from singing song that
had little meaning to any but those who served
their weary days in suppressing the Filipino in
surrection, the fruits of which the present ad-
ministration is so eager to garner
Careful perusal of the interdicted speech
publication of which is for the moment with
held, does not disclose anything that savors OF
breach of etiquet or discipline. Similar utter
ances have gone unchallenged. Only on one
point might objection be laid, and it is the in
ferential reference to the League of Nations
Admiral Rodman proposes that the navy be a
shield to the United States, and that with it
maintained at the present relative strength our
country is safe from attack from any foe save
Great Britain, and he says such an attack is
unthinkable. Into this may be read an express
sion to the effect that the proposed League of
Nations is unnecessary SO far as American
safety is concerned.
Premier Hughes of Australia, at a public
banquet in London said in many words that
Britons, no matter where located on the earth's
surface. proposed to ''lie safe behind the shield
that had sheltered them" referring to the Brit
sh navy. Secretary Lansing admits that at the
peace conference the freedom of the sea" was
never brought up.
Is an honored officer of the American navy
to be censured for having dared to conceive
thoughts that lie in the mind of every patriotic
citizen of the land?
Only little while ago the secretary of the
navy was before congress asking money to
build navy that should be Second to none"
For what purpose? At San Diego he expressed
the intention of keeping the navy at its present
proportional strength. Why then, did he object
to a gallant sailor saying the very same thing?

Amend the French Treaty.

New York, Aug! 5.-To the Ed
tor q The Bee: The French treaty
should not be ratified without four
vital amendments.
i. All references to the covenant
should be stricken out, because IT.,
the covenant, indirectly requires us
to make what it's advocates may de-
scribe as the supreme sacrifice
that is to surrender our indepen-
dence.
2. France should be given a de-
feasible permanent frontier. Foch
says the Rhine and all it's bridge
heads. This has not yet been done.
3. Either reconstruct Russia, in
Guiding Poland, or else give Poland
DanZig and defensible frontier
against Russia, Germany and Aus
tria. These former autocracies three
times before partitioned Poland.
Germany and Austria at least
threaten to do it again.
4. Make pan-Germany pay or
work off every dollar of allied and
associated war debt, war costs and
war pensions, and punish every pam
German war criminal Otherwise
Germany will be financially
stronger than the nations it in
vaded.
Suppose we guarantee France,
while leaving it with defenseless
frontier. After Germany's partial
compliance with the treaty, when
the Rhine bridgeheads now temper
arily held are evacuated, the only
way we may keep our guarantee
good will be to permanently keep
not less than three-quarters of a
million regular troops in Europe on
the French frontier-after the
Rhine bridgeheads have been yield
ed to Germany. Otherwise our
guarantee will be only another scrap
of paper. HENRY A. FOSTER.
