VICARIOUS PUNISHMENT

'THE Mayor of Ansonia, Connecticut has been
 \ arrested at the instigation of bigoted blue law advocates and placed under bonds to appear for trial He is not accused of violating the law himself, but of permitting two baseball clubs playing for charity, to charge an admission on Sunday. It IS something new, we believe, in this country for one man to be held criminally res ponsible for another's offense. Vicarious punish ment IS not known to the statutes
 mayor might, and doubt mayor would be impeached removed from office if his conduct were in fragrant violation of the law, but how they expect to punish this particular person because others played ball on Sunday we fail to grasp.
 If there is law against ballplaying then some penalty for violation of that law probably is prescribed but the penalty is not directed against non-player who perhaps, did not even attend the game It would be just as logical to arrest the governor of the state who is responsible under the constitution, for the administration of all law

ROADS

THE Yavapai county road system now stands
 l at point well on the way to completion Few more contracts will be let by the highway commission. Much of the work remaining unfin- ished on the program is such that other agencies will have to get busy This includes the Ash Fork road, the Fossil Creek, which are parts of the bond issue program, and the Hassayampa trail which IS extra road and much needed
 Sight must not be lost of the necessity during this first year of keeping Up the maintenance work New road is more subject to wear than old and comparatively small amount of upkeep now will be reflected in more lasting use in years to come.
 It is also beginning to be time to think about some of the outside connecting roads. We are well taken care of to the south, where Maricopa county has been brought to see the light. Let consider needs to the north, particularly i'll the matter of connecting up the Sedona road. That project is completed-but it is a butt-end road and will be until Coconino county settles its differences and builds on to the main east and west highway Steps are being taken to bring this question to an issue, and Yavapai county can and will help.

"SHOOTING-SCRAPE"
 HOUSES RESIDENTS
 ALONG MT. VERNON

Residents of Mt Vernon street at about 9 o'clock last night were reused by three pistol shots fired in rapid succession, accompanying the speedy chug of a brand-new automo-
 bile piloted by young man and two friends. Immediate excitement! Some philosophical inquirers paused to ob- serve that whereas in the good old days the bad-men used to shoot up the town from horseback, riding into the most brilliantly lighted saloon and shooting out the lights, now-a- days they are beginning to do it i'll automobiles. And of course there are no bars to shoot up, except those that Ed Van Doorn has placed across some of the streets.
 All this good live copy went up like so much smoke when City Man ager J. H. Robinson investigated the occurrence and put an end to the ex- citement by determining that the shots" were caused by backfiring of the new automobiles engine. The machine turned off Mt. Vernon street and beat nasty retreat for other precincts, and the residents of Mt. Vernon went into their houses and shut the doors again.

THE STRIKE

IF every town in which there are striking rail road men had maintained the peace that has distinguished Prescott, there would be little or nothing to disturb the harmony with which two sides are attempting to regulate their differences The sympathy of the public. in this case strongly with the railroad men, would continue unabated
 Unnecessary violence would divert that sym pathy, and the warning should be sounded every where to adhere to peaceful methods.
 Where there are strikebrealers, every effort should be made to keep them to themselves. It Is human nature for the calmest man, idle and drawing pay, but with family to support, will turn into an enraged man on very slight pro vocation, and the Strikebreakers should remember this Acts of violence may very easily grow and spread, where the temper is drawn to wire edge, as it is during time of stress.
 The theory of the Prescott strikers IS avowed to be to act as gentlemen. If they carry this theory into practice, they will receive the grat- tude of the poole, as well as their sympathy.

ROADS IN COUNTY LOOK GOOD AFTER
 RAIN, WORK IS ON

Roads in various parts of the county are in fairly good shape after the rains, and work of county crews is being extended to make them bet ter, according to Supervisor C. C. Stukey, who returned yesterday from visits made around the county dur ing the last couple of days.
 The Senator road, at least as far as Venezia, distance of 20 miles, is in first class condition for travel, Supervisor Stukey said. Work is go- ing forward on the road to Iron Springs, and that highway will be extended to Skull Valley, opening up a good route to Prescott from a dis trict peopled by about 800 residents County crews will also work over the road to the Prescott Farms, so that travel between the project and this city will be easier.
 Much benefit has accrued to the Farms from the rains, with the re- suit that everything there IS looking fine, said Mir. Stukey.

DISARM, ARREST
 STRIKEBREAKER

Action OH the part of city police and striking shopmen as swift as the action of Francisco Selante's double action .32 caliber revolver, last night followed the discovery that Selante was in town. One of three men said to be strike-breakers, and who came into the downtown district early in the evening, Selante passed the re- mainder of the night in the county jail pending filing of a charge of carrying concealed weapons.
 City Policemen Lambertine and Byers accompanied the Mexican to the sheriff's office, deprived him of a gun and turned him in.
 Members of the striking unions gathered soon after it was learned that something had been started, !" but there was no disorder. Discus sion centered around the inadvisabil- ity of carrying concealed weapons, and the possible action of trainmen, who were understood to have com municated with their international of ficers asking instructions as to their course of conduct in view of the shopmen's strike difficulties.
 Word was circulated in railroad union quarters and around town last night that the four brotherhoods members at Needles had suspended work on account of difficulties aris- ing from the shop strike, the employ ment of guards and strikebreakers.

HASSAYANPER BACK
 IN GREEN ARIZONA
 FROM ALASKAN TRIP

Ed Boblett was born and raised just across the divide from the head waters of the Hassayampa river i But he was not far enough away from that tabled stream to miss the effects of its magic waters, for way up in Alaska he felt the call and had to come back again.
 He arrived yesterday afternoon with the observation that nowhere between Seattle and Prescott had he seen such green and pretty country as Arizona. Contrasted with Ari- zona, the other states he passed through were dry and barren.
 Alaska, where Boblett spent eight months in the mining game, is a great place for experience, but it is not visible on Boblett's map of coun- tries fit to live in. He will probably return to the Boblett ranch on Lynx creek, satisfied that it contains the essence of happiness, such as could not be found in the storied hills and glaciers of the territory.
 The returned wanderer Is a brother of Mrs. George Ross and s. M. Boblett.

CONCRETE BASE
 AT BRIDGE HEAD

Dry weather - in a strictly com parative sense-is expected to permit the resumption of base-laying by the paving company today. The cement machine is located near the Gurley street bridge, and will work from there right up Gurley to Mt. Vernon.
 The concrete gang caught up on the graders when the latter were forced to twiddle their thumbs and wait for the streets to dry SO they could go to manufacturing the re- quired brand of sub-base.

AN OPTIMISM EDITION

WHILE many have commented audibly on w the Sunday Journal-Miner none has there been found to deny the effect of an enlarged Sunday morning paper at this time has been wholesome.
 It seems to be the errand of the Journal-M Miner to sound the note of optimism at times when it needs to be heard above harsher noises It was during the depressed period of 1912-19l3, that this paper set the pace for civic improvement itself improving its quarters. And now, at a time when the tendency is to withdraw into the old shell, to retrench and proceed with more caution than confidence, the Journal-Mner takes from the businessmen of Prescott, a satisfied spirit of optimism, and presents it in the form of double size Sunday paper.
 It was a fortuitous circumstance that trains were not running and the swollen editions of certain outside papers were unable to arrive with their gaudy picture sections and their fat and edifying sections of want ads-so intensely in teresting to Prescott people. So the Journal Miner was not only the big paper, but it was the only paper. It reached everyone who read news papers that day, and with every possible bit of strike news it was able to keep Prescott and it's. environs advised as to the course of the most interesting and industrial strife this community has ever had close at hand.
 Those who spent their good money for Phoenix papers that came late in the day, were cheated because the Journal-AIiner had presented all the strike news the southern sheets carried, and gave it to the readers many hours earlier.

NATION OF DETECTIVES

' T is necessary to refer to John S. Sumner, secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, after which we hope to be able to discuss more important if somewhat less interesting cur iosites of the day.
 MT. Sumner has explained his attitude in what might be called a 'confession." He fain would direct the conduct of other people because he is convinced that other people are not capable of self-control He quotes government figures and declares that 40 per cent of adults are below standard mentally and that 'the 20 per cent of adult people who do not need protection from their own impulses are inclined to be reckless in demanding freedom from all censorship and re- straint"
 Here is the Sumner attitude It is based on the thesis that two adult persons in every five are detectives, and that only one in five is capable of sef-restraint. It is the plea for government of the large majority by small minority of so- called intelectuals. It is denial of our system of government. No other interpretation be given to the language of MT. Sumner.
