The Illness of Senator Penrose

A special dispatch from Washington the New World depicts alarm of the republican poi- ticans the capital at the progress of the Wood throughout the country. It was further stated that the alarm increased by the continued illness of Senator Penrose who had been chiefly counted upon to arrest that movement
 That very interesting in view of the fact that eight years ago Senator Penrose the chief of the Roosevelt movement the effect of the arrest being the derailment of the republican party only within has succeeded in making out of the ditch It is not yet on the We should therefore, suppose that men who solicitous for republican success would de- party has had enough of the minstra- tions Senator Penrose. We believe the party would profit by a continuance of illness, followed by period of convalescence that would carry over the second Tuesday of next November. Senator Penrose ofthe republican leaders to secure united republican party. And. if it is not united it will re- ditch.
 Senator Penrose has right every republican has. a choice and he has a right to work for the of the candidate of his choice. But he has right to work in such manner as to defeat the will of a majority of republicans This may be compished either directly indirectly; the work may be raw accomplished It was raw" in 1912, effected by the simple process of making of majority of the committee the convention to finish had been done before in instituting groundless in states and congressional districts. So a the present campaign thereS have been few Intention the part of the opponents of General Wood to steal the nomination bodily.
 What may be attempted little later as his strength among the people continues to develop, we do not know but think the opponents of Wood will not have forgotten 1912. Beside Chairman Hays would almost certainly not allow the committee if it disposed to repeat the outrage of eight years ago.
 so if Senator Penrose should be restored bodily health political vigor in time partci- pate actively in the primary campaign he would probably follow secretve methods. But if cessful they would lead to the disastrous 1912 if they should involve the subversion of will of the people.

 Says the talk of high prices is all hysteria, And every time that enter his store, He remarks Well the next lot will be more. For cotton's scarce that all-wool goods Have seemingly taken to the woods And because of the upward trend of mortar, The supply of skirts is short and shorter, And with twenty sheets now to a qure It is plain that the next lot will be higher.
 sThe cost of thread has increased the rent, So prices. of go up fifty per cent, And now that the country's entirely dry, It's the watered stock that makes things high. And with materials getting rawer A result of course, of the recent wa -er- And the cooks all quitting (and you know that!) Why shouldn't you pay more for hat? This complaint of prices keeps men so tired That even the taxicabs hired Fur coats. because of the 1uxury-tax, Have increased the price of sealing-wax, So that everything now that comes in cans Has to be kept cool by electric fans, And you can't get people back to the land. Since very few of 'em have the sand, And the cost of living? We'll, maybe it's high. But Sir Oliver Lodge won't let die So now is the chance of the careful buyer, For be sure that the next lot will be higher. why, the merchants profit is very small It's the robber jobber getting it all. And it isn't the jobber. He cuts no ice, For the manufacturer makes the price. And the factory barely makes it's way, Because of the wage it has to pay. And the workman--why. hundred per cent or his income goes for food and rent So you that the clamous is all hysteria, And you'd better buy now-at The Profiteeria"

March 24. 192. To the Editor.
 The Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Ny dear sir:
 I read your editorial of the Sunday Republican of March 20. relative to tho withdrawal of the American legion from the request for a bonus to be paid to the returned soldiers and sail ors. You are right in lauding and that you cannot say the same thing about our representatives in Washing ton or --il the run of petty politicians, profiteers and grafters.
 The boys went over there with theif lives in their hands. leaving their hearts with their beloved mothers, sisters, and sweethearts. so that these loved ones (and with them the poli- ticians, grafters and profiteers) should enjoy prosperity at home. The same boys, regardless of their suffering in the trenches and elsewhere. bought U. s. bonds. only to find to their sor- row on their return that these bonds were manipulated by bankers, (pa- tIiots only as far as clapping hands ana waving flags is concerned) so that the boys receive only SS9.60 for their SlVO invested Tn Uncle SamS money.
 Over there, just as here. the sons oe bankers, capitalists, politicians, and grafters, were over 200 miles from the trenches, in gay Paree, drinking red wine with 70 Lulu La. a "a Paris" Great stuff. eh, Mir. Editor2
 Of course the boys are happy and contented for what they did. but how this great and glorious country can content itself with such a lack O. lap preciation toward our boys I Ganot conceive.
 Yes, am one of these happy re- turned boys, and I wish to say in plain language that in the future I will take my stand with the applauders and not be one of the applauded.
 Sincerely yours.
