A POLITICAL EDUCATION

It is rather amusing when one hears certain clements in the state advocating the taking of the schools out of politics about every time they or their friends get into trouble with the legis- lature. Tying the schools up to the state high way department did not convince the public that there was much of sincere desire to divorce the schools from politics, unless it was the other fellows brand The imputation by these "educa- tors" that the successive legislatures could not be trusted with the making of proper appropria- tions for the schools of the state, rather makes the taxpayer feel that the extent of their inter- est in the schools should merely be paying the taxes. It IS to be regretted that these so-called educators loan themselves to politics so readily, then shudder in public at 'the schools in poli- tics" Arizona has been fed up on that sort of thing and this latest exemplifcation of it will do great deal of damage to those vitally inter- ested in honest educational work. The real inn putation of the few active political educators was that the taxpayers of the state were too
 ignorant to elect representatives sufficiently wise to handle school matters and since this was true
 why should there even be an attempt to pass any laws these favored few political educators did not approve of? The state has more politicians at the present time than it needs and can ill af- ford to pay for any extra help along that line

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

The Prescott Courier mixes its dates as fol- lows:
 Because such an arrangement gave to Coco nlno county trifle more than it paid to the school fund - it not being mining county" Colonel Frederick Breen of the Coconino Sun thought 1t was all right, both from political and selfish standpoint, and he said so. In his opinion, 1t was proper for Maricopa to get wagon load of bread from somewhere else, if Coconino could get few slices, too. Yavapai and the other counties could stint their schools or shut them up, if the money ran short.
 Colonel Breen, though, has experienced rude awakening from an entirely unexpected quarter"
 The Courier then quotes an article on the sub ject, and intimates that this law was passed in 1920.
 Evidently Editor Bill Stuarts idea was to mud dy the water. At least he was badly informed, which is bad thing when trying to start row. The school law in question was passed during the first session of the state legislature, introduced by the late Senator c. B. Wood of Maricopa county, voted for by all the Yavapai county sen- ators and signed by Governor Hunt
 The records will or should show that the then senator from Coconino county voted against the bill and did so on the very grounds now taken by other counties. However, since Maricopa county has gone republican we are not so certain but we were mistaken in not voting for the law in the first place. It would appear that center ing the state school funds on Maricopa county had produced results of a lasting benefit When the people begin to discount propaganda, rumors and rumors of rumors, and demand facts to prove statements, the great progressive move ment forward will surprise the natives.

At last our contemporary has struck the right chord. While we do not wish to meddle with the local democracy, we have noted for some time that their party affairs have not been conducted as they should be and new chairman and more votes would go far toward better success. The very first thing to bring about harmony is to mand an accounting of the treasurer and throw out lot of the old gang who have been trying to run things here. For long time we have known there was something radically wrong with the democratic party and now we know what it is more leaders are needed. Anyhow, more brains would be helpful.

President Harding seems bent on house clean ing this spring and the first place he Topped the mop was in the bureau of engraving. It must have been good place to mop for report comes that boatman picked up package of new $5 bills floating in the Potomac river which had evidently just come from the engravers.

It is reported with some degree of authenti- city that the state of California intends severng all foreign and domestic alliance with Senator Johnson at the coming fall election for his att titude in attempting to make Ford out of the 4-power treaty. Such men as Senators Johnson, Borah and LaFoette only serve good purpose as horrible examples.

Secretary of the Interior Fall is coming west this month and will make an extended tour of Arizona before returning to Washington early in May, so dispatches from Washington state. It is to be hoped that Secretary Fall looks close ly into the Colorado river project during his visit, sufficiently so to change his mind as to damming the river at the wrong end first. It is probable that he has not visualized the de- velopment of the river as whole, but has been taken in with the enthusiasts along lower down on the river who want theirs first and do not care much what happens to the rest of the coun- try dependent upon the development. There should at least be enough fight left in Arizonans for Arizona to show the secretary all the details of the big improvement plan, instead of letting him go away with the one-ideaaed-Davis plan.

Raising Sweet Peas

One Of the pretticst and easiest to
raise garden flowers is the sweet pea,
that dainty, bright-colored blossom,
which when in bloom, looks for all the
world like pretty butterfly poised on
top Of q stem. Everybody likes sweet
peas, since no annual gives more
beautiful flowers for cutting than this
plant, and they are particularly useful
Tor bouquets for the home and make
= most atraetive display.
Usually q person has his own ideas
on the planting Of sweet peas. Some
hold that the 18th of March Is the
proper time for planting. This II
hardly possible where the ground Is
still frozen and the weather chilly. A
later date must be selectes. How
ever, the plants might be started in
the house in boxes. then transplant
ed to the garden as early as weather
conditions allow. Little paper drink
ing cups make excellent flower pots
for starting the plants, pricking holes
in the cups for drainage. After they
begin to come mp nicely, stick couple
Of tiny sticks near each plant to allow
them something to climb on, otherwise
they will become hoplessly tangled and
transplanting them cannot be done
without damaging them. Set the tiny
plants at little distance apart when
planting them in the garden. Do not
crowd. 4p
In sowing seed in the garden, an
excellent plan is to soak the seed for
at least "a hours before hand, thus
Fastening termination. Sweet pea
growers are with difficulty weaned
from the practice of thick planting Of
the seed, much the same as with gar
den peas. The idea of spacing the
individual plants about six inches
apart is hard to convey to an old fash
ioned gardener, yet one seasons exper-
ence will convince him Of the advant-
age gained.
No one can have sweet peas unless
they give them a little care. Plant
| the seeds or the "sets" at small dis
tance apart, and as early in March q
the ground can be worked, or If wealth
er conditions are unfavorable, little
later will do. Remember, however
they viii not endure dry, hot weather
and flourish. The soil cannot be too
rich for the successful growing of thu
