SOME PEDIGREED CANDIDATE

A candidate for the democratic nomination for governor whose name we will not mention for the reason we have nothing against him person. ally, and he may get the nomination for all we
 know or care, has the following description of his office holding powers printed on his cards Candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. I have held the following offices |: County recorder state treasurer, member of the constitutional convention, secretary of state and acting governor Will you assist me one step higher?"
 r. We are sorry we cannot assist him under ex- isting conditions. Now while he has done very satisfactory performance in holding offices for the past fifteen twenty years, and his perform ance shows a fair comparison along side of the rest of the bunch holding state offices, we believe that he should have commenced at constable and worked his way on up to justice of the peace, sheriff, all the county offices and then through the list of the lower state offices before asking for the governership. We have no doubt that there are other deserving democrats who can show longer list of offices they held had they taken week off and run back over their record as officeholders. and for that reason, we must withhold our support until he goes back and picks up few of the offices not mentioned in his list Then, too, if he is elected governor, he may want to skip the U s. senate for the presidency, which would show bad faith with his party, aside from the fact that there might be some one in the off, flee of president who would not give up the job when he demanded it as his just dues for long and faithful service at the public pie counter. Some men are so contrary.

THE 4 PER CENT DISTURBANCE

According to statistics compiled by the fed eral department of labor, 3,374 strikes involving more than 100000 workers, occurred in the United States in 1919. Assuming that the A. 100000 include only the strikers and their de- pendents, and such other workers as were made idle by reason of their work being intimately connected with that of the strikers, the tale is not half told
 Some of these strikes, such as the coal min- CTS strike, the dock workers strike, the railroad, strike and the steel strike, affected more or less directly every inhabitant of the country au& thus all of the people, numbering something ma than 1OO,0O0,0OO, were put to inconvenience, ex- pense and sometimes exposed to peril because per cent of the total was not satisfied with it's wages or working conditions and knew no other way-or, at any rate, refused to recognize any other way-to better the situation than to strike
 This is a condition that is a credit neither to our business management nor our public admin istration. It is in effect sacrifice of the inter- ests of the many to the interests of the few when there should be sacrifice of neither. There are of course, always the unreasonable malcontents who will not be satisfied with any arrangement, but for the most part Americans prefer peace and steady job to the artiiicially created indus trial unrest of which they are so frequently made the victims. It is useless to hope that all men will be able to agree all the time, but it is wholly possible for them to djudicate their differences without resort to the medieval custom of using force-and the strike or the lockout is force Per haps when the campaign is over, and the states men and politicians can look forward to period of two years without urgent political maneuver- ings, they can find time to consider the question of industrial stability with more sincerity and eamestness than they have given to it hereto fore. Probably nothing would do more to bring about return of national contentment and as- sure stable prosperity, and to show that the coun try is really as civilized as it pretends to be- Indianapolis News.

REMEMBER THE ELECTION TOMORROW

Those interested in education will not forget the election to be held tomorrow at the Emerson school for the purpose of voting bonds for new high school for Flagstaff. Now is the time to get busy and prepare for the future. Flagstaff has in the past been very fortunate in being able to send high school students to the Normal, but con- ditions have changed and it is necessary to make the same arrangements that all other towns have to make in providing high school courses for pu- pills. During the past 25 years Flagstaff, has only expended $40O0O for school buildings and the school board feels that in voting bonds at this time, there should be sufficient fund voted to lay broad foundation for the school, broad enough to cover future needs. There seems but little doubt that the bonds will carry since the location of the school has been settled insofar as the wish es of the people are concerned.

A FUNNY PROPOSITION

Printing is a part of lfe," Star subscriber quotes from Business Office Ad" in The Star, in a letter to the editor and he asks: "Why is it that business men send away for their printing {? Trade at home and boost the newspaper that is building up greater Tucson" The writer then submits two specimens of printing which bear the name of outside printing concerns, one at Sturgis Michigan, and the other at Emeryville, California. A bank sent him deposit slip print ed in Michigan and hay and grain company sent him bill on blank printed in California It is somewhat anomalous that while newspapers in season and out of season urge Tucsonans to trade at home," there are merchants who bene- fit by this preachment who send away for their printing. Yes, printing is part of life"-and 'lfe's funny proposition, after all"-Tucson Star

OTHER PEOPLES MONEY

Mr. Festus J. Wade, president of the Mercan, tile Trust company of St. Louis, and chairman of the committee of five, representing the American Bankers association at the recent Paris meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce advocates the cancellation of the $1O,OOO,OOO war debt which Europe owes the United States. MT. Wade's high financial connections seem to class him as an authority in such matters, until one discovers that he is an American only by adop- tion, democrat and member of the advisory committee of the division of finance and pur- chases of the Wilson railroad administration, to the stupid ineiciency of which is largely due the nations car shortage putting tax of millions of dollars day upon the people.

It is evident that there was not so much "whole heartedness" in the bipartisan" meet ing as might be thought One very plain-spoken delegate, who had made motion to refer some question to Atty. Gen. Jones remarked "Not that think he has sense enough to know what he is talking about, but because he is the only one we can consult" Taking this statement along with the endorsement of the "non-partisans" we pause to reflect as to the worth of the same.
