 WHAT WILL GEORGE GOULD DO?
 Naturally the interest in this lidgat- ion was not confined to New York, but prevailed throughout the country, chiefly on account of the notoriety gained by Jay Gould when accumulat- ing these millions and also by the prominence not only from the point of view of wealth but of certain for eign aristocratic associations into which members of the Gould family were permitted to enter. The decision of the supreme court justice const- tutes. unless it be reversed by the high CT court, and indictment, morally it is true of George Gould which business men say will hereafter tend to impair any business efforts or propositions which he may entertain or lay before business men. Two or three sentences in the decision seem to intimate that the Judge was of the opinion that George Gould so acted as trustee as almost to justify an examination into his acts by the district attorney,
 If the decision is upheld then what remains of the estate must be divided equally into six parts. According to the best estimate George Goulds pro-
 portionate part will not exceed ten million dollars, and like sum will be delivered to the others who are the joint heirs named in the will. This may involve the sale of some of the securi- ties held by the Gould estate for it is almost incredible that the estate can
 be divided into six parts without en- tailing the sale of some of the securi- ties.
 Aside from the moral stigma which will attach to George Gould provided the decision of the supreme court be affirmed by the higher court. there is also to be considered great impairm ent of his ability to carry on line of busi- | ness which has been his chief vocation
 for some years. He has sometimes beer

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
 From the beginning to end there was no discussion, no interpretation in the sense required by the grave and reasonable objections raised against the unreserved acceptance of the covenant. Where there should have been explanation there is naught but exhortation. Where there should have been convincing argument there is fine rhetoric. Where the address should have been analytic it is broadly apoclyptie. It is an emotional idealis- tic harrangue, not a specific reply to the questions that are in the minds of so many of us. From beginning to end the reader will meet nothing but in his search for something new and specific and more satisfactory to patriotic intelligence than are the generalities to which we have become accustomed.

GENERAL eREENWAY AND THE
 SENATORSHIP

Tucson Citizen.
 When Colonel John c. GIreenway. who is probably Arizona's best known hero of the world war. returned to Arizona the other day. he was asked by a Douglas paper whether he had any political ambitions. Colonel Green way replied that if the people of Ari- zona wanted him to serve them in the United States senate he would be glad to do so. He also went on record in favor of the league of nations.
 This statement of Colonel Greenwav will arouse considerable interest in political circles of the state. Tn poli- tics he is a Republican. He came into the party following the Spanish-Amer- ican war, wa sa progressive in 1912 and came back into Republican ranks in 1916. He has resided in the state for more than ten years and during that time has been one of AriZona's greatest builders. He conceived and created New Cornelia. which promises to become the greatest copper pro- ducer in Arizona and did wonders for c. and A.
 Colonel Greenway has announced that he is not at present connected with Calumet and Arizona There may be some significance in this an- nouncement. It may De that he is either going to devote his attention to building the road to the gulf or to politics, or to both. Colonel Green way is essentially a builder. Once he gets his enterprises to running in

 On the Democratic side, it is now pretty we'll settled that George w. P. Hunt will seek the nomination against Mark Smith. With the chances favor ing Hunt, the promise of an old-time battle at the election next year is good
