TE AR1zoNA REPUBLICAN FRIDAY MoRlING FEBRUARY

Mir. Smith said yesterday that. he had learned of the appointment with qualification, and it was not political qualification, either. He regarded the appointment as fitting recognition of the service of the former governor Speaking of the appointment Of Bainbridge Colby. as secretary of state, MT. Smith shared the surprise that. according to the Associated Press dis patches, was felt by senators of all shades at Washington He had had no intimation of such a selection, he said. Naturally he would express no opinion about it, but he said that MT. Colby was man of great ability. A further remark by MT. smith might have been construed as an opinion that
 whom a choice might haev been made. But the appointment had in no wise altered the complexion of the cabinet he said, since Mir. Lansing was a re- publican.
 Concerning the Hoover movement. Mir. Smith said that it was one of the most curious events in American poll- tics. The demand for Hoover'S nomi- nation has come from such widely diff ferent. sources: from the New York World. the only great through and through administration organ, and from the Los Angeles Times formerly the meanest of republican newspapers Then, there was never such political
 lufmOl ana uncertainty. tfitrulN d man
 knows how his neighbor is going to
 vote this year and then there is the
 woman vote, which will amount to 40
 per cent of the whole vote.
 Tt is a pot pourri." said MT. Smith,
 ''of such a character that we hardly
 know what we'll have for dinner"
 Mir Smith is looking better than he
 has for years, and said that he had
 enjoyed better health than fer many
 years.
 He expressed regret at one piece of
 legislation in which he had partici-
 pated, the enactment Of the law for
 the protection Of migratory birds. He
 was told that there were never so
 many wild duck in Arizona as at the
 present time. Under the state law they
 may now be taken, but the federal law
 keeps the season closed for another
 month. by which time most of them will have crossed the Utah line Mir. Smith is a duck shooter himself.

Two couples were married at
an undertaking establishment in
Tulsa recently. Probably they
think, with some Of the young
squirts about town, that SER
vice for the dead is appropriate
for a marriage.--HOminy News.
A couple were recently married
here on the top of the courthouse-the
idea, probably being to get as near
heaven as possible at the start as
there would then he less liability Of
eventually landing in the other place.
just what the idea was in selecting
an undertaking establishment as the
place in which to pull off marriage
ceremony is a little doubtful. Unde.

the married life of a couple wa gen
orally under the management of an
ed in the divorce court. and it il pos

married in the undertaker's establish.

monial voyage. and fearing shat he

several weeks ago, Mr.. Self
chairman If the town council had
an article published in the News
asking that all the business
houses supply themselves with
fly traps in order to rid the town
of this pest as near "a possible.
This was indeed wise suggcs-
tion from Mr. Self, and those
who have not already put out
traps should do so-BOswell News
Attempting to appreciably reduce
the number Of flies by means of q
trap or of any number Of traps is
very much like trying to reduce the
level of the ocean with a bucket
ut can't be did" In an enclosed space
where the flies may be kept out ex-
cept now and then a stray one, q
trap is useful, although the aggre-
gate number of flies captured as com.
pared with the number at large is
insignificant. There is only one way
for a town to keep the fly pest in
allegiance, that is to keep clean. Flies
love filth; they breed in filth and
practically nowhere else. Destroy
their breeding places and there is nc
need for traps. Clean up and keer
clean and the fly question needs lit
tie attention.

FRIDAY. July .. 1920
PLATFORMS AND POLITICS

There may have been time when
the policies Of a party were set forth
in its platform and when the candi-
dates put up by it were heartily in
sympathy with the principles and poll
cies set forth in the platform on
which they were nominated. But if
such state of affairs ever existed
it was so long ago that II has passed
from memory of living men and has
been embalmcd in the pages 0f his
tory.
If the hypothetical Man from
Mars" could suddenly arrive on earth
and read the platforms Of the two
great parties he would be forced to
the conclusion that the one aim and
object of the Republican platform was
to abuse President Wilson and that
the paramount object Of the Demo-
cratic party was TO justify him. In
other words that the main issue wa'
q personal one centering about the
President which of course is not an
issue at all.
In number of words the Democratic
platform is wonder. In its redun-
dancy of words it exceeds the Repub-
lican platform which is itself mar
vel in prodigious use of words and
the extreme paucity of direct state
ments.
In neither of the platforms rs SIM
pie, direct line of action marked out
to be pursued in the event Of the sue
cess of the party's candidates Mt the
polls. Both seek to befuddle the voter
as to the real issues involved; and
both will probably to certain extent
succeed.
OF course each voter has his own
opinions ac to what the result will be
in the case of the success of either
party, but the platform will not help
him to form his ideas nor to clarity
the ideas he has already formed.
This is going to be hard fought cam
paign and for the guidance of the
voters it is a pity that the issues
between the parties could not have
been more sharply defined.
Candidates should be secondary to
platforms, and would be if platform
meant anything. The good of the ma
tiOn is of far more Importance than
the success Of any man or any party
The ratification or rejection of tho
League of Nations plan Is of vastl!
more importance to the nation thar
the success of either Cox or Harding
II is the ovcrshadowing question to
day, not only concerning this natior
but affecting the entire world. Upol
its acceptance or rejection by thu
United States depends the course o
events for the next five hundred
years, yet for fear Of loring vote
neither one of the great political par
ties of this nation dared to declar
for direct program either for o
against. Other issues of lesser i'm
portance were sidc-steppcd in sim
liar manner and for the same reason
1t is hard to cnthusc over the cand
date of ones party under the circunl
stances; but when the music gets we
under way the country will probabl
wake up and go on It's usual quadrer
nial spree.
