Tuesday, April 6

WASHINGTON, April 6. Serious charges have been referred by Dele gate Campbell of Arizona against Judge Charles Silent, associate justice of the supreme court of Arizona. These charges set forth in substance that Silent is not a proper person to be continued in office as judge; that he is notoriously engaged in buying, selling and bonding mines within his judicial district while litigation forms; that in these operations he Is in part nership with Governor John c. Ere mont who has been and is solicitious to bond the Peck Mining Company's s property, situated in Judge Silent's district, said property being in litiga- ton before Judge Silent, and that since Judgment was entered against said property in his, Silent's court. Fremont has made an offer to it's San Francisco owners to bond it at an absurdly low price, accompanied with an offer that Fremont will settle the litigation.
 z It is further said that Silent is in receipt of three salaries, one of them being from the counties of Yapavai and Mohaye. which were required to be paid by an act of the legislature. which act is shown by the official journals to have been passed mainly through the efforts of c. C. Bean and Tom Fitch of the law firm of Fitch & Churchill, and c. C.

This Anniversary.

Tfis is red letter day in American history. It will take its place with the Fourth of July which did not to be celebrated until long after 1776. It is only after lapse of time that epoch making days seized upon for ceIebra- ton. This is the anniversary of that solemn day in 1917 when the nation committed itself to the ideaIietic program of making the world safe for democracy.
 Three years have passsu but who does even n,w still sense as treasured memory, the spiritual upIift of that day2 The soul of the nation exalted to the high purpose of fash ionine world out of the wreck of the old order; of freeing little peoples from the yoke of oppression; of making the world unsafe for inn periaIistc greed.
 So, it is not surprising that three years later many are dismayed and discouraged in the presence of thwarted hopes, while extreme opti- r,ists have gone to the opposite extreme of pess- irisn.
 It IS true that democracy is still struggling for life in various places. And it is that inn periastic ambition seems here and there raise its ugly head. Liberated small nations fighting among themselves boundary lines and large nations dissatisfied with the fruits of their victory. Hunger stalks through many lands while armies the march in various parts of Europe.
 This, briefly is the state of the world three years after that glorious April Sixth. If IS not pleasing picture and yet, the for the dstourage cement that many Americans feel do not lie much in the conditions themselves in the Ioftiness of the ideals for which America uvens to war. We expected too much--a formation of human nature, moral regeneration of ma 1kind. In moment of exatation we be- evsd that the beginning of this sudden y impossible change.
 America played for ideaIisn's highest stakes and 1t is that that the results attained seerl 70 fall so short. Men forget that wars themselves cannot establish orders Wars arc revolutionary in their nature, and and permanent political systems and reforms established only through evolution. Wars to sweep away old political structures to make way for the that must be built founda- lions of peace and social order.
 Viewed in this Iiaht. the of which make appraisal accomplished all that reasonable could have expected It may be- certainly. it will be-that there will be pauses in the democratic movement and there may be recessions. But the general trend is forward to- ward the ideal that America set for mankind that memorable April Sixth.
