A very wonderful plate from the

For Barrett's Job.

Local Republicans who claim to

pointment OF /. Wade Coffman, OF
Clarksburg as clerk Of the FEEDER Al
Court for the northern district to

since the death OF Charles B. Ka-

made by the late Judge Aston G..
Dayton.
1t is said also that the main Of
fee will in all probability be re.
moved to Clarksburg when the ap.
pointment is made as that is the
home town Of Mr.. Coffman.
Some of the local Republicans can
not understand why Mr.. Barrett is
to be removed. in this manner, as
he is and has N1een a Republican
worker in the ranks for many
years and his record as clerk is an
enyiable, one attorney stating that
in the history of the northern dis
trict there has been none better
nor as competent and capable as
Mr.. Barrett. They also point to the
fact that Mr. Coffman is now serv-
ing a term as clerk of the state
court at Clarksburg where he is re-
ceiving salary OF $4,000 year, the
same as that received by the Fed

Where Did It Go?

Congressman Fordney, the observant Republican chairman of the house ways and means committee is worrying about what happens to Marys little lamb after it stops following Mary to school
 "A western farmer shipped carload of sheep to the eastern market says Fordney. The sheep were sold at $40 head, but the farmer after he had paid freight and other expenses of shipping and sell ing, had only 33 cents a head"
 But what is worrying the congressman is why he had to pay 65 cents for two lamb chops at Washington restaurant.
 Twice as much the farmer got for whole sheep" exclaimed Fordney.
 Probably the farmer is wondering what became that difference $21O selling price the SS cents he got.
 Somebody gets it. Not the producer of mutton and lamb chops.
 Somebody else gets the difference between s2.1o sheep and lamb chops at 65 for two.
 Congressman Fordney's committee easily could learn who is getting it, and why. and how. The committee might do this while framing the new tariff bn The knowledge would be interesting. and might be turned to good account in framing the bill It might lower the cost of breakfasts, lunches and dinners

The Inauaural Ball

It has been learned that many letters have been received at the office of the governor protesting kEanst the expense of tho inaugural ball. giving as reason that the money is urgently needed in various other directions. These letters all bear tate subsequent to the date of Mir Hardng's pro- test against the expense and pomp of the presidential Inaugural ceremonies in which it was proposed to fcnd a quarter of million dollars of public money. Many of the writers these letters that the expense of the inaugural ball tonight are to be met likewise by appropriation of public funds.
 That. of course, is not the case. The ball has sothing to do with the governors inaugural which kas already taken place and very simple affair. The inaugural ball is therefore msnamed.
 < Tho governor has had nothing to do with it and Fas not in the state at the time it was planned. Though the governor has been named as the chief guest of honor tho ball itself signifies rather the coming together the legislatures; it is therefore legislative function all its predecessors have been though called inaugural balls.
 The expense will be borne by large number f private citizens in different parts of the state md altogether 1t will be a very expensive af- fair. There will be little pomp. Dress suits are requirements. Sunday clothes or business suits win be equally acceptable and no doubt many will be worn. There inhibition even against over alls except such as may be imposed by good taste.
 We will agree with the protestants that the money though privately raised however much or little it may be- would be better spent in the relief Of need. rather than in a night of gayety. But we know that of the money be spent would be expended charity if there should be no inaugural ball.
 The next best use of the money then is the put ting of it circulation, into the pockets of deco rators artisans and worxmen engaged in the prepa- ration for the festivities.

No Separate Peace

According to correspondence from Washington. president elect Harding and the Republican leaders in the senate have decided not to make a separate oeacc with Germany. This is good news and hcteve it will be so considered by the vast majority Of right thinking Americans of whatever political party.
 This important decision is said to have been made as the result of conferences at Marion and washington fin which the leading men and women of me country have taken part.
 ' Almost without exception those who have taken ,art in these conferences have reported Ihelming public sentiment in their respective sec aons of the country against seperate peace with Germany.
 This gausing of public sentiment is said to have t,rrcIv determined the decision.

The Location of ths RIame

The Tucson Citizen seems disposed to push The kepuEean out of its modest place in the republican party. Recently 1t misinterpreted a protest of The Republican against an unseemly scramble within the party for division of the spois. to be protest ganst the republican party enjoying the fruits of the victory of November It was the idea of The Republican that if the spells belonged the party they belonged to the whole party and not to any faction of the party.
 And now again comes the Citizen:
 Perhaps unintentonally, the Arizona Repub- t lcan has placed itself in implied attitude of
 criticism in its discussion of the situation arising s from the stoppage ot the transfer of the
 of the state from one fund to another to meet i'm
 mediate needs The Republican refers to the practice Juggling and seems to labor under the impression that there has been effort to correct it until the present
 ft is that impression. permeating the language
 of The Republican editorial, which without foun- f dation is either critical of Governor Campbells { administration or betrays an ignorance of the situation.
 The budget law of Arizona passed by the f Fourth state legislature, administration measure, fathered by Governor Campbell and specially designed among other things to prevent this same nterchanging of state moneys. It went
 further in effort 10 put a stop to overdraft in | any fund.
 | The law has worked out well. No fund has \ been ovcrdrawn can be overdrawn, and under
 the budget provisions every department must
 keep within it's appropriation if it is not to vio-
 late the plain language of the law. A The editorial of which the Citizen complains was nased on article containing a statement or he state treasureE who offered criticism of the governor and none of the budget law. The only TO- Detfion made by him naturally fell upon his prede- cessors all of whom were democrats. Until the present time the power of republican governor was txremeiy limited. No blame was attached to Gov eraor Campbell and none could have been attached to aim. Nor could there be any criticism of the budget
 w. only practice which the state treasurer said tc was going to abandon.
