A POLITICAL EDUCATION

It is rather amusing when one hears certain elements in the state advocating the taking of the schools out of politics about every time they or their friends get into trouble with the legislature. Tying the schools uy tC the state highway department, did not convince the public that there was much of a sincere desire to di- Vorce the schools from politics, un- less it was the other fellows brand. The imputation by these "educators' that the successive legislatures could not he trusted with the making of proper appropriations for the schools of the state, rather makes the tax payer feel that the eSJeuI or then interest in the schools should merely be paying the taxes. It is to be re gretted that these so-called educators loan themselves to politics so readily then shudder in public at "the schools in politics. Arizona has been fed ur on that sort of thing and this latest eXemplification of it will do a great deal of damage to those vitally inter ested in honest educational work The real imputation of the few ac tive political educators was that the taxpayers of the state were too ig norant to elect representatives sui ficiently 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 edu cators did not approve of? The state has more politicians at the present time than it needs and can i'll af that line

PHOENIX MAN ENDS HIS
 LIFE AS OFFICERS APPROACH

PHOENIX, April 15,-Just as Po- lice Inspectors D. J. Lucey and Fred Weage placed their hands upon the knob of a door leading to room No. 2 IF South Eighth street, at 11:i0 o'clock yesterday morning, grim Death stepped in before them They heard single shot When they fin ally succeeded in breaking open the door, Francis Marion Morris was breathing his last It was a suicide of which the officers had received warning and which they were hasten. ing to intercept.
 When the postman made his regu- lar rounds yesterday morning he left a letter for B. F. Morris at 1914 East Washington street. It had been mail ed Thursday afternoon and carried the following brief message from his uncle:
 Its no use. It isn't worth the candle. You will find coat and pants with underclothes iR back of large suitcase. Watch in pocket of suit case. Have no Masonic functions, cost too much. Get as cheap a box as possible. Marion

BLAZING THE TRAIL

The nomination of seven candidates on the Democratic ticket in the Town Primary Election on Monday last, pledged to an economical ad- ministration of affairs, setting forth the proposed reduction m figures for the information of the public, is a small beginning, but gives promise of bigger things ahead.
 The democratic candidates for Councilman are blazing the trail of practical economy and retrenchment in the conduct of public affairs, and for the first time, we have the pleas ing exhibition of candidates coming out in the open and giving the voters a concrete and concise statement, in items af dollars and cents, as to the expenses they propose to curtail in the event of their election
 Such frankness and publicity on the part of the democratic candidates, prior to the primary election, deserves the confidence of the voters in the general town election to be held next month.
 The action of the Democratic can- didates in the Clifton Primary Flee tion should serve as a good example to be emulated by county candidates in the approaching county primaries. As never before the taxpayers are de manding economy and service in pub lie affairs. The voters want to know before primary day how candidate for public office proposes to conduct his office The day of the gum shoe candidate is at an end.

SOME TALK OF GREENWAY

Col. w. E. Beck, Cyclone Bib of Prescott, stopped in Phoenix the last of the week on his way home after an extended visit to Texas, coming back by easy stages through southern Arizona. Speaking as a political pro- phet who has honor in his own coun- try, Col. Beck says: If the demo- crats of the state at their meeting at Tucson, May 15, should select Col. John c. Greenway as their standard bearer for Governor it would insure success in November and Arizona would have a good governor" He would accept but believed he mignt appreciate the honor.
 There is considerable Greenway sentiment in Phoenix and Salt River valley. This is found in business circles and among those who take deep interest in the Colorado river development. Not few former Ala bamans are enthusiastic for the man who is a native of their state Then there are boys in the World War anu the older men of the Spanish-Ameri- can war who have warm spot in their hearts for Col Greenway who was one of them when the country called. The Messenger is not boost ing Col Greenway, but we do believe he is au able, earnest man who cou1d do much for Arizona if he were to be chosen as chief executive. He would carry good vote in Maricopa county both on primary day and in the general election in November.
 While several local men have been mentioned public sentiment has not chrystallized in favor of anyone. The tendency seems to be to keep an open mind until the conference meets in Tucson and adopts platforli after which event the availability ol candidates will be considered serious ly.-Phoenix Messenger.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERES s
 A WAY

Preliminary work has been started on the Stargo Mines Inc. property near Morenci. Before the end of the year new gold and silver producer will be brought in with a cyanide mill in operation and scores of men employed on the surface and under ground. The Stargo cyanide mill will be the first plant of it's kind operated in the district and in add1- tion to handling Stargo ores will af- ford reduction plant in the district for smaller properties. The final sue cessful financing of the Stargo is a long story. Disappointment followed disappointment over period of two years but success finally crowned the efforts of those who had unbounded belief in the merits of the property which all goes to show that where there's will, there's a way"

STATE FAIR IN
 PHOENIX THIS YEAR

Globe, April 17-Arizona is to have state fair this year.
 As a result of a general business revival throughout the state and the coming of more prosperous times, the state legislature has appropriated money for the financing of an ex- position of state products and achieve ments to be held at the fair grounds at Phoenix next November.
 Last year, for the first time since the Arizona state fair was organized, the important annual event was omitted. Much regret was felt by Arizona people generally that it was found necessary, in cutting down state expenditures, to curtail the annual event which for many years has been the means of giving added impetus

THE TUCSON CONFERENCE

Democrats of Arizona have implicit confidence in M. H. McCalla, state chairman, and Jas. S. Edwards, sec retary They also know the January meeting of the state central commIt- tee acted wisely in calling a confer ence at Tucson, May 15. There will be 154 representative delegates selected in the democratic way.
 Doubtless the party platform will then be written free from republican interference. Candidates chosen to run for the various offices at the pri- maries, September 12, will be pledged to stand on this platform. Naturally republicans are worried because de mocracy in Arizona and all over the United States will get together. When the conference is over the next some sore head or stdewinder who is opposed to party discipline and who, aided by republicans, who will register as democrats, make show of opposition. But the tactics of divide and conquer will not work this year. Arizona will be redeemed by united democracy. The people are in earnest-they want a change
 An exchange suggests that tn. money for the bonus, could be raised by a tax on staying away from church.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-04-21

The democratic candidates in the town election next month deserve to be elected for the reason that they have investigated the administration of town affairs and propose saving to the taxpayers during the next ifs cal year of approximately 100000. This means money to you and l, but even more, these candidates are paw ing the way for similar action in county and state affairs.
