Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The Plumbing Controversy

Editor The Republican,
 Dear Sir:
 From far away Miami comes q vail that would be humorous if the author of it wasn't really serious From Nels Anton, to me unknown, comes a letter to the editor of Dunbar's Weekly. de- ploring the fact that that publication has seen fit to air purely personal affair" of mine. All this wailing actu- ated through the reading of an adyer- tisement I recently caused to be in serted in The Arizona Republican and Dunbar's Weekly in which I endeav- ored to place before the reading public some facts regarding the plumbing sit uation in Phoenix with particular ref erence 10 certain provisions of the ex- isting plumbing ordinance that, in my opinion are not only obnoxious, but if enforced must work hardships on countless numbers of citizens. It was not merely a personal affair with me. It was as clear a presentation of facts as I was able to make.
 Nels Anton says my trouble hasn't anything to do with the people of Ari- zona. Now if my trouble hans't any thing to do with the people of this state, and particularly of this city, for goodness sake with whom has it to do? If it hadn't to do with the people of Arizona, would l spend good money to tell the people about it? Nels Anton probably doesn't know that I have saved to the people of Phoenix hun dreds of thousands of dollars. He may not know that have consistently fought the plumbing ordinance that was framed up by the master plumbers of Phoenix. He doesn't know that my personal affair" would not interest

What About Russia

We have Q variety of prescriptions for the disease of Russia. It best be served by concert of the allies and it can best be served with the withdrawal of tc allies by leaving the matter to self detcnin- ation of which We have heard so much The main thing is not what the Russians need but so far as we are concerned what the United States wants 10 do about t
 w. c Huntington in Sc.fbners for this month declares that Russia will never work out her own salvation that she have outside aid on great scale Moreover. that Russia will grow moro danger 10 world peace the longer she remains in an anarchic state. We have heard this before. but we do not how Russia is to disturb the peace the world except by creating a situation at home that win invite aggression and consequent quarres of other nations ever the division of the spos That is quarrel with which the United states cannot prop ery be concerned
 But k Russia helpless Is there such a thing a nation unable to find the means of restoring sort of order whch the people choose to live? For if there is possibility of this then Russia would seem 10 De that nation Russia seems fairly unani- nous only on one determination--no more czardom. And We are not sure that there is unanimity there We sometimes think that if a majority of the people of Russia could be heard from brought together they would prefer go back The future certainly promises nothing for them.
 Certainly, on what shall succeed to czardom there k no unity of opinion. Bolshevism is an unknown quantity a real belief by the Russian people. Ger many set it up. But Germany could have set up the duma any other form of government in Russia and have made it powerful enough to subdue bolshe- vlsm had she in it the tool she saw in the bol- sheyik group. Once set up it's opponents have not been able to unseat it
 It must be admitted that Russia must be fed and clothed and that it's paralyzed industry must be re- stored. great ignorant majority must be educated to become able to endure and manage self govern meat These are the present problems in Russia but they arc not new problems Mexico six years ago

Eiectment Proceedings

We understand that the majority of the democratic central committee after expelling, accommodating and barring the Arizona Gazette from the democratic party felt that it could go farther. Some of the militant members may have considered the propriety of applying for injunction restrain evening contemporary from whooping il up for Wood row Wilson and the league of nations or otherwise provlins about democratic property.
 That is one thing that might have been done. Or a formality might have been given the eiectment proceedings that the continuance occupation by the Gazette might lay it liable action for trespass
 The mere resolution of accommodation will be more effective than the resolution directed to the democrats of the legislature themselves by their boot straps and override gubernatoriaI veto with insufficient number of votes.
 This latter resolution introduced and adopted in all seriousness, fills with suspicion that the mem bers of the committee unfamiliar with physical laws the laws of mathematics the rules of legisla- tive procedure.

HOME FROM EIGHTEEN MONTHS WAR SERVICE

Home again after continuous service since April 13 1917, when he volun- teered. Robert p Cummings, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Cummings of 1927 Woodland avenue, arrived in Phoenix yesterday.
 Cummings left here a high school boy of IS and has returned 10 all ap- pearances a man twice that age The experience that was his has aged him greatly but it has not lessened the in- tense patriotism that led him to leave his studies and enlist in the service of his country.
 During the entire time he was with Uncle Sam, Cummings did not have q furlough. When he received his dis charge week ago he was acting chief mechanic of the W. L. Staeed. having been transferred to the oil tanker after the signing of the arInistice
 For eighteen months, the boy was in the war zone, doing convoy service on the Huntington. which conveyed over 500. 900 troops Young Cummings stated yesterday that death and destruction became so common that he became hardened to it. Of the risks and danger he was in. he refused to speak He did

Receipts
Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. May 2s.-Owng largely to a
big decrease Of the visible supply total
strength supplanted weakness today in
the corn market May touched the high
est level yet this season. The close was
nervous at lie to 2Sc net advance, with
July s1.65b to 1854 and December
s157b to $15S Oats gained NC to &c.
In provisions the outcome varied from
10c decline to rise of SIC.
Prospects that shorts in corn would suf-
fer a squeeze attracted much notice to-
ward the last of the day in connection
with the shrinkage OF the visible supply,
a falling off of 1,O11 900 bushels as com
pared with a week ago. Misgivings on
the part OF the shorts were emphasized
by the fact that the amount of corn in
Chicago has been reduced to only 4O2, 900
bushels, whereas two bull leaders were
alone said to have May contracts calling
for 100000 bushels. Before these cir
cumstances became the focus of attention
sentiment was generally bearing as re-
suit of favorable weather for blowing and
planting because Of chances Of larger re-
csipts in the near future.
Oats were governed chiefly by the
changes in the corn market
Provisions. although sympathizinE with
hog declines, went upward when grain ad :
vanced. Stock yards houses bought.
