the city may be larger but no other

II is fashionable to compare things

more sweeping in its destruction Of
the vanquished nation than any other

In a World of Rhetoric

European war it would not have oc- cured? Could there be a clearer indi- cation of a trust in the power of fine phrases?
 Is this same unreality to be carried over into the peace settlement? Are we to be charmed into thinking that the magic of d document, the miracle of some mechanical organization is to be the worlds salvation from the future aggression of imperialistic powers? Are we to be content to grasp at the shadow and to let the substance Ot peace escape?
 It is not popular to say such things at this time. Americans like to have the expansive feeling that their cOun try is the salvation of the world. But the things need to be said.
 We must not permit aursedves to be carried away with rhetoric, no matter how persuasive. We cannot help the world by hugging an illusion. We must face facts as they are before we can lay the foundations of progress.
 There should be a further interna- tional organization growing out of the association of the war. There should be a league of nations in which peoples may become accustomed to working to- gether in various ways and to discuss ing international questions. But 10 make a league with the functions of a super state, for which the world is not yet ready, is to invite failure and worse. TO substitute such a league for the the practical help that France needs in holding the frontier of civili- zation. to set up a treaty in pi1ee ol the preparedness on which the safety of America depends, is 10 be blind to the teachings of history and the fun damental facts of human nature

The Pawnorokers' Bill

Whether a good deal Of useful legislation now bending in the house survives the session which will end tomorrow. will depend upon the discrimination of the sitting committee Hitherto there has not been much sitting in the house Bills have been taken up 1s they came in the interest of what the members regarded fairness barbershop fashion all served in their numeral order A proposition to take up a measure out of it's order usually brought protest from member.
 In consequence there are some good bills buried under of hopeless bills destined beforehand to defeat even if they should be reached
 Among the bills so hidden yet is the anti-pawn- brokers measure which some time aso was passed by the senate where it originated and was sent to the house. Just where t is the senators do not know.
 This a bill which was much talked about throughout the campaign So outrageous had certain class of money lenders become that there was a gen eral demand that they should be curbed If any man had been asked the time the legislature met what three bills he would suggest one of them almost cer taiuly would have been anti-pawnbrokers bill So general this demand that the subject became one o the governors recommendations to the Legislature m his first message.

 We can hardly suspect that this bin has been in- tentonaiy buried It is impossible that there could be any Influence exerted in the legislature for the pro lection of such nefarous business We are inclined Co believe that the b has merely been careessly laid aside and forgotten

A Get Toaether Plan

There are some favorable indications that in the remaining days of the legislature adjustment may be reached the majority of the legislature and the governor by which a good roads program in Ari- zoua may be launched under strictly businesslike. non partisan control
 As The Republican stated previously. the vital thing in this whole matter is the character and stand ing of the members of the highway commission. On this point everyone now seems agreed.
 The democratic majority in the legislature apparently apprehensive that if the governor were gwen the appointing power in the bIl he might else such power in building up political machine through the highway department. In his veto message the governor made it exceedingly plain that he felt he highway department should be kept of political control any character, either republican demo- cratic and we understand that he is preparing to conclusvey prove this statement by agreeing on a commission of high standing the majority Of whom shall be Of the democratnc party.
 such adjustment of the situation would remove m fear the part Of the legislature that the governor would the appointing for political purposes would assure the citizens of the state that a good roads program with the ability promptly avail Of the federal funds ready to be spent within Arizona. would be under way without delay and would con vince the tax payers that the policy of road building m Arizona obtain a permanent practical sys- of good roads binding all sections of the sether and constructed such basis would assure the tax payer 100 per cent on the money n- vested in good roads.
