back of that port. italy wants it,
ostensibly on the ground Of the
nationality Of its people. But in
reality, no doubt, the reason is that
control of Fiume means control of
the trade Of the Jugo-Slavic back
country.
That is the kind of claim out of
which wars have grown in the past
and will grow again. This Balkan
people are never going to be salts
fed to see their natural outlet in
the hands of foreign and hostile
nation. 1t will check their expan-
sion, and be sore spot. Sooner or
later it will cause a war.
Mr.. Wilson is on sound ground in
insisting that this is the kind OF
thing that the new peace settlement
should prevent. He may seem to
some to be obstinate. But he is TAX
inc his stand on sound principle,
against the selfish policies of old
style diplomacy that have already
wrecked the world. If this principle
of boundaries founded on justice
and reason can but take the place
of the old idea of boundaries found
ed on the spirit of grab, it will mark
. ,,o,, aro in history
Italy will yet live to thank Mr..
Wilson for his kindly insistence on
settlement founded in justice. 1t is
for the interest Of the American
people to have these quarrels settled
on a righteous basis that will not
rrovoke new wars. Mr.. Wilson has
taken his stand firmly for such an
outcome, and should have the hearty
support of his countrymen.

The street commissioner proposes
to clean up the town and put the
streets in better condition. This will
be welcomed by the entire citizenship

The streets are in a dreadful condi.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Gradual de-

Reports received showed trend to-

Sections as noticeable already, al
though no sudden drop like that in
clothing and other merchandise is
looked for in food products. The
general opinion is, however, that the
market must drop eventually.
That cleaning up of freight con-
gestion, already under way, will go
Ear toward clearing the road for de-
crease in food prices, all experts be-
lieved.
Prices of meat, butter and sugar
are reported lower in Boston. No
changes are reported IN New York,

grocers say they are planning for a
drop.
Flour prices are down in Mime
apolis, the milling center of the Mid

Sears, Roebuck & Co., large dealers

autumn catalogue, and they have an
noupced that the prices quoted for
food products will be lower.
The woolen market is demoralized:

FOR ALDERMAN

J. G. Tovrea, running for
alderman on the Democratic
ticket for the city election next
Monday, is one of the best
known and most stable citizens
of NogaIes.
=" Mr.. Tovrea is a native of
Illinois and came to Arizona in
: 1891; since which tine he has
made this state his home. He
came to Noga1es on January 1,
1916. to fill the post of man
ager of the Nogales branch of
E. A.. Povrea. & Co., at the
+. time they opened their market
in this city, and has been
resident of the city since that
time.
Mr.. Tovrea is stockholder
and director of E. A. Tovrea &
Co.. the largest packing con-
Germ, in the southwest, a care
full and conservative business
man and one of the best boost
ers for Nogales that can he
found. He is looking forward
to the time when Nogales will
be the metropolis of the south
ern border, and would be a
great help in planning such
growth of the city on progress
sive lines.
Mr.. Tovrea is rather retir- .
ing man, and it took consider
able persuasion on the part of
MS friends to get him to con-
sent to letting his name go to
the nominating convention; but
he is a man of strong convic-
tions and will when elected do
everything in his power for the
welfare of the city, and will do
what he thinks best for the city
regardless of friendship OF poll
tical affiliations.

MAKING A MOUNTAIN OF A
MOLEHILL

Those eng 'neering the Sisk ticket
are maxi. a mountain out of a MOLE
hill in the matter of Judge OF the
election. When the City Council
named the election board the law
was observed, and judge with a
clerk was named from each political
r.,ty. A. L. Peck, who is life long
Republican was named as the judge
for that party. J. D. Hennigan was
appointed judge for the Democrat'c
Party.
The law, in Paragraph 1888, Page
634, provides that town and city cleo
tions shall be conducted as nearly as
many be, as provided by law for the
general county officers.
Paragraph 1840, on the same page
provides that the common council
shall appoint three suitable persons
as judges of election.
Paragraph 2917, page 976 provides
that the county board of supervisors
shall appoint one inspector and two
judges of election, who are members
of different political parties, and of
the parties which cast the highest
number of votes in the state at the
last general election; provides that
if at least one week OF more prior
to such election the chairman of the
county central committee of either of
the two parties that cast the highest
number of votes in the state at the
last general election shall designate
a member of such party as judge, the
elector so designated shall be named
a judge.
The foregoing citations are the law

In selecting the election board the
city council complied with the law by
selecting Messrs. Peck and Hennigau
for Judges. They belong to the two
political parties which cast the high.

the last general election.
There Is nothing in the law which
provides for the contingency of eithe,
