Attacking the President

The complaint of Representative Ramsey of Iowa in the midst of the chorus against the administration, has high note like that of a small dog in general canine hubbub. The grievance of Mir. Ramsey is that the president of books present from King George. Whatever the constitution may Say on the subject of royal gifts American citizens it is certain that it was never intended inhibition against such gift that If so, it is time to consider the constitution having been amended by application of common sense in that respect In such gift the whole American people feel that they the sharers

The Proposed Election Code

From. such a nasty examination as we have been able to give Senator Winsors proposed election code. we are of the opinion that is a good one designed o give and which will give honest expression of inc electorate our present code is unspeakable and t is a marvel that it has so long been tolerated. part of it existed before the Australian ballot system vas introduced into the United States For the most part. it Is patchwork. abounding in hatuses which filled .n when need be- in of contests. hy decisions that the courts at last in such cases. must guess at the voters will
 The proposed code appears to every phase from the registration Of the voter to the declaration of the result of the election.
 We cannot take up the various phases of it. 1t prohibits the wild and reckless expenditure of money for election purposes by indirect means, by which the limitation of expenditures fixed by the present law has always been circumvented. At the same time it extends that limitation. which rdiculously low invite. if not make necessary a violation Of the law.
 1t also prohibits anonymous statements and publi- cations for and against candidates. and curbs the tvitics of "John Doe for Governor clubs. It aims also to keep voters registration within their party lines. The democrats believe that in tho last two gubcrnatorial campaigns they have suffered much rom an Sumixture of republican primaries The manner in which republicans have registered democrats has amounted almost to a scandal. but we doubt very much whether the democratic party has really suffered from that practice.
 The theory is that the weaker party. under such primary system ours. with contest for nomi- nations within itself is apt participate in the pri maries Of the majority for the purpose Of curing tho nomination Of the weakest candidate We that has frequently been done. but that has been the object Of the republicans of this who have registered as democrats.

People who have read the dispatches from Jerome in The Republican and other newspapers are apt to acquire an erroneous impression regarding the min ing situation in the state. The notion is naturally bred that We are in a condition of industrial turmoil; that unrest is prevalent and that general outbreak is immisent
 The fact is that Jerome. of al the great min ue towns ot Arizona is alone in the turmoil It is the exception which proves the rule Of tranquility throughout the state and accentuates the fact that industrial peace is prevalent Reports of disorder and threatened disorder come from no other pon..

 We are disclosing nothing new when We say that bad news Is the kind that thrills people. properly constituted people. do not want had things happen. but when they do happen. they want the news of the happening The news of good, orderly happenings is not thrilling news: it is not cared for as @ rule and therefore the newspapers and the great ncwsgathering agencies do not devote much space time to it.
 Several newspapers have tried to institute reform ir this respect but we believe only of them has succeeded the Christian science Monitor which prints no bad news. but much good news. It is print cd for a large and special clientele and fully pies that field that experts have declared that there no room in au the United States for another such newspaper. Some time, perhaps. when we all become Christian scientists there will be room for other kind Of newspapers
 No news is good news" is old saying which Is understood to mean that when bad news is pccted the absence of it is good Conversely, good news is news" @ fact Senerally recognized by those who deal in news. Good is passive and people do not take great interest in passvity pa- cidity one house on fire attracts bigger crowd than % of palatial residences.

TEN-YEAR SENTENCE
 OF ARTHUR BOSTR0M |. SUSPENDED BY COURT

Arthur Bostrom, former cashier oi the Pacific Gas and Electric company, who pleaded guilty to the charge ot embeZZlement, was given 1o-year suspended sentence by Judge Stanford yesterday. The suspended sentence was made conditional that Bostrom re- main in this county and repay the gas company not less than $50 monthly out of his salary.
 Some time ago the gas company found a shortage of $500 and swore out complaint against Bostrom, who was then on the coast. He returned to Phoenix without the service of a warrant and pointed out an additional shortage to the company, totaling | s5,200. He said that he handled the | funds of the concern and embedded | over d period of nine months without l attracting the notice of the auditor. | Bostrom stated that if given the op- portunity he was willing to work hard to pay back the money and remain in this locality, among those who knew he had committed an offense.
 '1 will make good" he declared, ss
 he thanked the court for its mercy.
