BACK TO THE DARK AGES

1t IS over now and looking back upon it. the execu-
uon of Mrs Dugan is nothing of which Arizona OF our
boasted civilization can be proud.
The law exacted its penalty and many who believe in
uphoding the law to its strctest letter are satisfied
There IS no censure to be extended to the Arizona
courts the board of pardons and paroles nor to the
officials immediately concerned with the execution Of
the unfortunate 1t does seem as though the
law could be changed TO permit executive interference
to prevent such ghastly spectacle the execution Of
this woman.
We hold no brief for Mrs. Dugan She was guilty of
arocious crime and convicted under the laws Of
the state having the proper Jurisdiction Even though
she died protesting her innocence, do not believe she
telling the truth.
Last week urged that her sentence be changed to
life Imprisonment, basng plea wholly on the
ground that she was woman If we insist upon re-
moving I.cTs the pedestal upon which we have
placed heras something to inspire to better and

The press dispatches Of the affair had to be eX-

KNOWING THE REAL WASHINGTON

We wish every American could read the late Brand
Whitlocks 'Laytayette" which we have been enjoying
recently not only because of the explanation it gives
regarding the young French nobleman's connection
with the cause OF American liberty but for its insight
into the wonderful character of George Washington.
Old enough to be Lafayettes father Washington re-
gaIded him as his son, and the love Layfayette
bore his commander like that which dutiful son
bears toward his father.
Letters passing between them both during and after
the Revolution, reveal Washington in light that not
familiar to many Americans. The American COM
manders thoughts, beautifully expressed are on the
same high plain that marked his whole course through
his public life.
his Solcltude for the young Frenchman when the
latter was wounded, is almost effemnite did one not
KNOW the truly masculine mind that expressed it.
lhere Is SO much in It to offset the cherry tree TOM
nyrot ana other legends and traditions of Washington
equally lnslpid that the life of LAFAYETTE cannot help
but Hstl greater reverence for the nations hero
than ever before, in him who reads it.
Rupert Hughes Lie of Washington has been severe
~ criticized by many who he has tried to sully
the marvellous character of his subject. Even were
1ughes a renegade American he could not do that A
1ormer officer III the American army his Americanism
and his PATRIOTISM are beyond reproach He has tried
to tear down the veil that has kept the true character of
Washington from the American people and he has sue
ceeded.
Those who would make of Washington the cold aus
tere figure that We have from some descriptions or
the slmpeTing Wisywashy character as portrayed by
otheTS are the real offenders. Washington was man.
~ man, humane warm hearted, and of the most
loYabe characters to appear in history. No one
could mar IN the least, the splendid record of his
achievements and his exalted character No American
would want to do so.
