What to do With the Canal

Phoenix for many years has been trying do something with what used to be called the town ditch" which undignified name still persists. It's abolition has been proposed but many difficulties have presented themselves. It was also proposed to cover it over, to make it an underground water way but objections have prevented anything in that d- rection.
 Now comes subscriber of The Republican with proposition which seems reasonable and easy of adoption, to make it park that instead of re- maining an and nuisance, it may be trans formed into beautiful feature. It probably could not be parked along it's whole length through the city limits. In many sections it through lots and close to houses and there it has been covered over But where it runs along, and so near streets that the right of way abuts the street or between lots the parking plan could be employed There the right of way could be leveled, benches could be installed and perhaps in some places adjoining ground, cut off by the canal as to be useless for building other purposes could be secured We might thus have many breathing places and bathing places. The canal would then have been converted from problem into prize

The Clerks Not to Blame

The attention of The Republican has been called by MT. Alfred Trippel one of the clerks employed the preparation of the minutes of the journal of the legislature to expression which appeared in an editorial printed by The Republican yesterday morning. We wish to state that do include among the consprators clerks who have been employed'
 That was written i've do NOT include, etc" The omission by the compostor rendered obvious alone by the of the "do" still more so by the succeeding sentence "As matter of fact do not know precisely who is to blame"
 The expression which the has made so ap- parently offensive was so evidently interected to relieve the clerks of the criticism contained in the article that it's purpose could not have been mis- understood
 The tenor of the article indicated an unwilling the part the writer attach blame to any person, an uncertainty regarding the identity of the person persons who suggested the large appro- priation out of which this work has been paid for "When that is known" continues the article i've will have the end of thread"
 No reader can be so void of understanding as not to perceive that there was nothing intended to reflect the integrity of the clerks nearly all of whom are personally known to the writer and with some of whom, especially MT Trippel he is, and has long been on terms of intimacy.
 The article attack upon the use of the appropriation which the legislators, a great majority of them could not have intended to be made of it when they voted it. For this the clerks not and could not have been responsible.
 The acceptance of employment in the legitimate business of preparing the record for publication could in wise be held to be blameworthy. We exceed ingly regret that mechanical obvious could for instant have msled any to suppose that any fault could have been imputed to any of the clerks.
 We were concerned only in investigation of the circumstances surrounding that appropriation and in the responsibility for the disposition of it. We trust that this matter will be investigated to the fullest extent

Amendments and the Referendum

There have been contrary decisions regarding the necessity of referendums to give the people chance pass upon the ratification by legislatures of federal amendments In the state of Washington the other day it was held that the referendum was unnecessary An Ohio court Thursday decided that the referendum required determine the sentiment of the state.
 This contariety of decisions may grow out of a variance of statutes relating to the referendum In this state we do not how the referendum could be invoked to the action of the legislature on the national prohibition amendment. The amendment was ratified in special session of the legislature year ago For ninety days after the adjournment of the session, that of the legislature probably would have been subject to the referendum but when that period had expired there evident way in which the subject could be presented the people, Failure to act was concurrence in the act the legislature

THE WATER SUP
 PLY PROBLEM

Probably no modern city of like size ever approached a subject of public concern better equipped for calm and mature Judgment than the City of Phoenix, in it's attitude toward the solution of the water supply problem
 Few people, perhaps, though they have witnessed every step of the pro- cedure, will instinctively recall that 1S years or more have elapsed since the question of today was first presented, and that it's consideration has been al- most constant since then, by men of recognized ability and experience. and that like the weather it is of daily sensation to the individual citizen.
 It is fact also that during 13 years
 last past almost every city of inn
 portance in this country has had oc-
 casion to supplant, renew or expand it's water supply, not only because of grow
 ing needs, but to take advantage of
 new inventions and equipment making for ultimate economy and effectiveness. | This is true from the world metropolis
 to Los Angeles; of Phoenix to St.
 Louis. That Phoenix comes last in llllS IiSl may auSuf QllatOrlneSS ana
 reflect upon it's proeressiveness. But the fact is, that while a better water supply is always desirable anywhere in the world, the Phoenix supply has | been fairly adequate to date. and ac- ton has not been imperative. Delay therefore and attention to the sub ject, that the general reader does not surmise, has been an advantage that attention is here called to, and Phoe- nix has been engaged in profitable | study. while other cities have been spending millions. from the mistakes of 1 which Phoenix will profit.
 | The city administration purposes be- i tween now and the bond election, as opportunity offers, to apprise the pub l lie of the general finding in the reports that have been compiled during the l last 1S years, matter that gives warrant | for action that may see into come with l suddenness This will not all be pre-
 sented in day nor week. and the pub- | lie is asked merely to keep it's ear tC 1 the ground, until the facts are fur
 nished, for admittedly the commission | favors the issue, or it would not cal the election, and it stands ready tC give the public that which the public is
 entitled to know-the principal reason. | that prompt it's action.

Tommy PhiIosophizes On Chivalry for
 Working Girls

Working Girls
 You're getting too thin, ma am ana white. l guess I'll just come around and take you out in the bus little while came Tommys voice over the phone next day. It was a very de- cided voice, so 1 agreed at once and presently I was whirling away with Tommy through the cold April sun- shine. Our ride was delayed because at the last moment Tommy had to go out and buy me a thick dark veil Jane Lorimer had to be concealed, other wise, scores of persons would recog- nize her.
 The ride did me good and so did Tommy's remarks. He kept a long way from personal topics, only saying concerning the Lorimers that the fam ! fly would return next morning, and | that undoubtedly he would have some thing to tell me in the evening. { We spoke of unimportant matters, much as distant relatives do when riding to a funeral. Just to keep Tom my talking I said

 Whats your objection to girl clerks in groceries, Tommy"
 Well, ma'am, some of em won't tie up dried fish It smells their hands they say. So they get one of the boys to wrap it, and they just stand around and wait and so it's the same as me paying two clerks to tie up one little mackerel."
 Make rule, Tommy" I said al- most too carelesslv.
 Hell! 1 beg your pardon, ma'am I'd never be done making rules. There's always girl hollerin' to one of the boys for suthin' which a man clerk could tend to for himself. They're al- ways yellin': Listen, Bill! Go down ir

Worse Than No Argument

The speech which Senator sherman of Illinois intended to make against the League of Nations in which he threatened to show the influence of the Va can, doubtless appeal which would have been of some effect fifty years hundred years ago when religious prejudices violent and when many excellent people in this country fresh from a perusal of "Foxs Book of Martyrs" believed the pope was Anti Christ and regarded papal participation in any movement ample proof that it was a bad one and should be condemned without further investig- tion. There has been clearer sign in recent years that the world getting better than the tendency 10 level religious barriers and recognize in all re- ugions something good something helpful Catholi- eism long since ceased to be bugbear protestant We do not think that the effort of Mir sherman again to set them by the ears will produce results expected by him.
 He could not excite protestants now by a plain showing that the Vatican had been conspicuousy active in the design of the League No doubt it has favored it. The movement has had the earnest sup port of every religious organization of which We have heard. Whether or not the League will even promote, if it guarantee peace it's clear pur- pose it must receive the support of all religions whose fundamental principles are love and peace It is an avowa which appeal alike to protestant Catholic and Jew.
 But have not heard until now that the Vatican had had part in the League of Nations The pope had made two efforts toward securing world peace and President Wilson had twice made overtures The allies rejected them all, meanwhile allied statesmen looking forward time after the war when there would be league for peace.
 Long before the had such a movement in this country and during the war one of them headed by Mir. Taft gained a strong impetus The movement which has ended in the League of Nations lad it's real origin in England It was in England hat the plans first definitely discussed. Nobody m authority in this country dared offer definite plan
 President Wilson dwelt in a general and plattu- iinous way on the beauties of a universal peace a welding together of all humanity the bringing in of conditions which belong rather to a millennium Ad- yanced socialists in this country abroal put out bold plans for "one big nation" Engshmen, though, discussed practical plans and it Lord Robert Cecil and General Jan Shuts who gave form to the covenant of the League Of Nations.

 And because this comment on wo- men in one kind of work was made by 1 the most chivalrous man I had ever | known, it amused me-in spite of my absorbing woes. Chivalry has cursed as well as blessed women, I thought. The ride improved my spirits and | luckily it was nearly done before an in- cident occurred which almost counter acted it's benefits.
 In a crowded downtown street near one of the big hotels, I saw a banana peddler whom I knew very well. grabbed Tommy's arm so suddenly that the car nearly skidded.
 Watch that man with the basket, ! Tommy. Drive slow-study him. Tommy obeyed and after we had passed, he turned to me with:
 What's the matter with him, Rosie?"
 That is Hamilton Certeis," I an- nounced in a triumphant whisper
 The hell it-I beg pardon. That gink-the elegant doc?" queried Tommy with a whistle. Then his tone of aston ishment changed to a sharp note of warning:
 You've got his number right Mrs Lorimer. But for Gods sake stick to your thick veils when you go out, And say I'm asking you, I'm begging you little sister; Don't you dare go out doors unless I'm along to take care oi you."
