EDITORIAL C. G. H., Editor
WANT A JOB?
(From the New York News.)

(From the New York News.)
 MT. Jimmy" Montague, our edito- rial writer. has given us notice. Whether he is leaving to get married or to better himself he did not say. Anyway, we feel it only just and right to tell the world that he is leaving of his own accord and that he gave the fullest satisfaction while in our employ. We are glad to give him a reference of the highest character. He is sober, honest, efficient, does not go out nights (very much), and is fond of children an ddogs.
 Now We have to fill his place, and on account of the war and the immi- grafton laws editorial writers are very hard to get this year and terribly in- dependent. There was a time when help of this kind was glad to get S9 wee kand do all their work con- tentedly in a little coop under the iron stairs between the third and fourth floors, but where are those days? They're gone for evermore.
 The editaorial writer we get must have one policy of his own It is well expressed by Decatur at the head of this column. We aren't BolshevilS, but we aren't reactionary, either. We are for progress as fast as we can digest 1t all the time. We believe in steady leveling process-leveling up, None of us has any political axes to grind, nor shall the editorial writer ever be asked to play any personal politics. This may be considered a written guarantee to that effect.
 So much for generalities. Now for practicalities. Our new candidate must be a newspaper man. He must already have had newspaper experi- ence. He must be able to write sim pie, direct English in short sentences He must be a highbrow, but he must not write as good many of them do
 In other words, he must be able to think wisely on many subjects and tell what he thinks so that many peo- pie, all sorts of people, young and old rich and poor born here. born over there-all of them will be interested il what he says.
 Editorial writing is harder than re- porting. It is easier to find stal reporter tha na star editorial writer While reporting requires perception editorial writing requires reflection which is much rarer. Few reporters agree with this, but they are wrong As one who has had considerable ex- perience in hiring both kinds of tai. ent, we affirm that it is harder to ge a good editorial writer than goot reporter.
 May the gods blow this appeal into the hands of the man we are lookins for. Address your application to W H. Field. The News, 25 City Hall place New York City.

DEMOCRACY BEATS soLsHEvIsM AGAIN

There are sure signs that the world is recovering from the mental disturbances caused by the great war.
 The greatest of these mental disturbances is bol- shevisrn Thoughtless people did not seem 10 realize that the new order in Russia was purely neurotic-a clear of nerves on part of the semi barbaric neone of the Muscovite empire. And our own neurot- cs in parlors and without, could not see in their state of mind bolshevism was nothing more nor lass than swing from autocratc system of gov srnment to another autocratc system of government One m better-and no worse-than the other
 If the violent swing of the pendulum is not mod grating in Russia assuredly is in the western lands r tba election in Massachusetts and France recently the holshevists were everlastingly showed under.
 Now we hear from Winnipeg. Some months ago the bo,sheyiks started general strike in Winnipeg
 with the clearly proved intention of taking over the local government. Having in mind the experiences dr,np like effort in Seattle last January they met with some successes at the beginning For two weeks or more. the situation in Winnipeg certainly was fierce. the whole populace seemed to be on strike. Rut presently the of law and order, and also of justice and righteousness began to get the upper hand and the thing called strike" misnamed for civil war slowly died down and out.
 But the municipal election was approaching. The ho,sbsvists notwithstanding their repugnance to democracy and any expression of majority rule, de- ternned to grab the city government by the orderly method of the ballot box. They nominated candi- date for mayor s. J. Farmer while the friends of democracy renominated Mayor Gray who went through the revolution staunchly fighting the bol shevists at every turn.
 Thus the issue was clean cut. The election has just been held In total of something like 25,ooO votes Mayor Gray has won by rousing majority over 2500 at latest accounts.
 The people can always be depended upon for sanity in the long run.

be ten times as many thinss.

po ten times aS many things.
 It took 30 years to learn that fn- creased production means more for everyone and that curtailed production harms everyone in the long run.
 Right now we are facing a high cost of living caused ty greatly increased demand and a slowing up of produo- tion during the pass four years. We pay double prices for everything be- cause we have been tr.xeng to "get all we can and give as little as we can"
 If we are to solve our living prob lems we must forget agitation and legislation and go on a producing crusade. Everyone Of us should pro- duce all we can on every working day. There is no danger of unemployment from reproduction provided people are sensible. Overproducing only comes when one industry gets away ahead of everything else.
 If we could double production, the cost of everything would drop to about half the present levels, wages would remain the same, and every dollar would buy twice as much.

The U. S. As An Asylum

The latest and presume, the last argument against the deportation of Goldman and Berkman is an appeal to the mercy of the government It is urged that a return of these delectabes to White Guard Russia would their execution. That is no argument all But if the government is squeanish about appearing to have the blood of these anarchists it's hands 1t might contrive to turn them over to bolshevist Russia We do not care what happens to them does not happen to them just so we get them of the country and assure ourselves that they have gone forever.
 We have been too solicitous for the safety of foreigners who have been wanted by their own coun- tries for offenses committed against them. We have made this land of the free asylum city of refuge for many who did not deserve asylum. We have nursed many vipers. We complaining of the brood. That complaint is the handspring of the present Americanixation movement.
 The first case of that sort to engage atten- ton wa. that of Citizen" Edmond Charles Edouard Genet. who here kind of minister peni- potsntiary of the first French Republic soon after the beginning of the French Revolution. He was a Girondist. His mission here was to induce the United States to declare against Great Britain. He also set foot several movements against Span ish possessions in this country and proved to be seriously disturbing element. Yet he secured strong following and was everywhere enthusiastically cetved-
 In consequence of his activities Washington is- sued neutrality proclamation and Jefferson, sec retary of state directed Genet to armng and eoutpufng prfvateers. Ills criticism of Washington became violent He demanded that extra session of congress be called to define the powers of Wash i,.+cr and to confirm the right of himself to pro- oeed with his wars using the United States as base Genet was really preparing for revolution in <,r4s country.
 In the meantime things happening in Fruncs, The yacobtns had secured ascendancy over the ofondists and sending them in droves to the gufncttne Robesperre recalled Minister" Genet but was the last thought of Genet to return to Prarcs Ills extradftion then requested and many oe the friends of washington thought that that would bs e cheap and easy to rid the country Of . troupAesome agitator. But he suddenly ceased to ha an aeftator He was filled with single desire that was to keep beyond the reach of Robespierre. Washington with his characteristic magnanimty fused to order the extradition of Genet and he mstnsd in this country Though afterward active, for he could not be otherwise, he no longer troubiesome. He never returned to France.
 Our policy has been to give asylum to political offnndsrs As have followed 1t, 1t has been too broad Genet might have been sent back to France not as a political offender but dsturber, if had then had law for such proceeding. We have, though such e law now and 1t is under that that we are dispensing with the presence of Berixman and Goldman So far know neither the Red Guard nor tho White Guard wants them. And certainly do not and will not have them any longer.

LONC AND SHORT HAUL
 BILL |S IN CONGRESS

The outlook for the passage of the long and short haul bills, which are now pending before the present ses- sion of congress, seems bright, ac cOrding to a message received by the Phoenix chamber of commerce yester- day from J. A. Ford, secretary of the Spokane, Wash, chamber of commerce. who is now at Washington, D. C., in the interest of the passage of these bills.
 These bills, which are of interest to all who are interested in the regula- tion of traffic rates, are receiving the hearty support of the western rep resentatives in congress, but some op- position, it is understood, had devel- oped in the state of New York and the New England states by the big in terests.
 All residents of this section are urged to use every influence possible with acquaintances in the east in re- gard to the passage of these bills be- fore congress, as they are declared to be of vital importance to the citizens of this region.
 The long and short haul bills, if passed, will make it unlawful for any common carrier to charge greater compensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers, or Of like kind of property, for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line of route in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer dis tance. Or to charge any greater com pensation as through route than the aggregate of the intermediate rates. II is stated that in some instances, at the present time the rates are greater for distances a few miles from the western coast than if the shipment were made the entire trip to the coast.
 Mir. Ford, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce. has been in Washington for the past few weeks ir the interest of the passake of these bills. His organization planned tC send a representative to Phoenix or June 4 to speak to the citizens in re- gard to the traffic situation, but ht was called to Washington and the dats
