WHO KNOWS THIS
 JEWISH SAILOR

The Jewish Welfare Board has is- sued an appeal for information re- garding the whereabouts of Ira Hen ry Joseph of San Francisco, formerly in the United States navy, whose parents have not heard from him for the last three months. The boy dis appeared on October 18th, after hay ing been discharged from the Re- ceiving Ship at Brooklyn Navy Yard No trace of him has been found
 The boy enlisted in the navy in California one month before the United States entered the war. He had been a pharma acist before, a home" boy, devoted to his family He had good record of faithful service in the navy and was devoted to his work, and his family were proud of their sons progress. The boy wrote regularly to his parents and In October his letters stopped coming. His fathers letters were re- turned from the Receiving Ship with a notification of the sailors dismissal. It is thought by Joseph's parents that the boy, stranded in New York city, breeding over his disgrace" may have become insane or taken his life. Anyone knowing of his whereabouts is urged to communicate with the Jewish Welfare Board at S9 Park Avenue, New York City.
 In writing to the Jewish Welfare Board the missing boys father made this appeal: Should this meet the eye of Ira Henry Joseph, formerly of the United States navy, you wiu please write to your mother at once, or better still, telegraph her, as she is sick unto death and a word from you win act as the best tonic for her. Do not let pride stand in the way of bringing happiness to your pa rents. and to your little brother and sister"

hilarious discussion Of the passing of Hunt is that the overthrow of Huntism has been contributed by a concert of discordant elements. Men have been brought into accord against the former governor who could have been brought together on no other com ground. They have submerged their own am btions only for the purpose of putting Hunt away. When that has been done it may be supposed that their ambitions will flare up again and there will be many factions that Huntism will be tempted to resurrect itself from the grave in which it has been joyously laid
 Hunt, have said, may never again hold of flee in Arizona but predict with confidence that for a long time to he will be potent influence in designating ambitious democrats who shall not hold office. He yet has following and a strong just how strong, cannot determine for two years and in two years much may happen.

The passing of Hunt is theme of which we hear much from faction of our democratic breth ren. Some republicans joining in agreement that the former governor has been nicely tucked away in his political grave We think that both yet too to recent events to get good view of them or of Mr. Hunt.
 George W. F. Hunt may again hold com- mission from the people of Arizona We do not know that he and think that unless the temper rhe people manifested during the last two years should be greatly and miraculously changed he could not get But his influence within his party still remains, perhaps not strong it was, but still stronger than that of any other democrat single group of democrats.
 The clement of greatest strength in the demo- cratic party of Arizona is organized labor The next greatest is composed what are called Texas demo- rrats" Tn that do enrolled every -~cxan who votes the democratic ticket but the former Texans who have settled in various munities notably in the southeastern part of the state iu rather solid colonies.

Res Adiudicata

When offers plan for anything he should be able to offer with it good reason for it. That is what has not been done in MT McAdoos recommenda- ton for five years extension of the governments di- recton of the railroads MT. McAdoo has offered, is true two reasons neither of whch seems to have carried weight. One is that the twenty -one month period of direction allowed by law is short for the formulation of plans for disposing of the roads, the other is that the direction should be carried be- yond the presidential campaign in order that they may be kept out of politics. As the first reason, there is thing to which the people seem have been pretty definitely inclined within the year and that is that the country does not want govern ment ownership Nor in the light of the operations of the roa6s within the last year, do think the people want five years of government experi- mentaton If the roads are be turned back to the private they undoubtedly will be, surely twenty months is enough time within which to establish rigid and thorough regulation of them such they had before known and to remove from them those restrictions which have inerered with their efficiency and invited waste Moreover, plan of regulation could be adopted either before after the return of the roads.
 As to the part MT. McAdoo fears the roads may play in the political campaign of 1920, if they should be released would be about be released Walter h. Hines, assistant uIrector Of the roads, seconding Mir. McAdoos recommendation for a five year extension says:
 My view is that if five-year extension be granted, this would be the stuation: That this sub ject upon which the thought of the country has crystallzed. will crystalline the result of the ing discussion in the next two years should think inevitably it would be prominent subject in the pres idential campaign to how it ought to be settled.
 MT. Hines thus believes that the roads not only would be and should be thrown into the campaign but would become a prominent issue in the paign, the thing which MT. McAdoo would avoid. There will probably be enough issues in the campaign to keep it from becoming tresome. Readjustment will have been fully effected then and there will be differences of opinion concerning it. Our rela- tions with our neighbors will not have been entirely re-established There will be domestic policies about which will differ And wherever the railroads may be-in the hands of the government or those of their owners, there will be varying opinions how they shall be regulated for the good of the people As to the specialization of sentiment it is already pretty we'll crystaized against government owner ship.

STOCK DOES WELL
 IN SPITE IF. COLD

Notwithstanding the clear cold weather of the last week, livestock conditions throughout the state remain favorable, according to the report on livestock and range conditions issued last night by the local United States weather bureau. Conditions were aided by the absence of rain and snow and the light winds. Evaporation and sunshine have lessened the snow coy- ering, enabling cattle and stock on the northern part of the state to graze with greater ease, while in the desert sections winter pastures have i'm proved markedly. Plenty of water is generally reported.
 One inch of snow is reported at Fort Bayard N. M., an inch at Fort Apache, Ariz., six inches at Pinto, seven at Flagstaff and eight at Williams. Losses of poor stock are reported as some- what greater than recently in the mountain regions too high for winter annuals and where fall pastures are short, but are generally small in the ! desert districts.
 The weather report in detail follows:
