THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 19, 1920 Every man's life lies within the present. Antonius. Thia Data In History August 18,. 1920, will be a great date in Ameri can history, the emancipation of the women of the nation, their complete enfranchisement. The name of the state of Tennessee -will be hon orably associated with that great event. It afforded the climax of the movement upon which the states entered tso" enthusiastically after the adoption by congress, of the Nineteenth Amendment. It does not seem to us now so strange that this privilege had been so long withheld from American women. The old prejudice was so fixed and passed so gradually that we hardly observed and did not think of it. It seemed to us quite a natural preju dice. It never occurred to us that it was a strange relic of our caveman days when the woman was the inferior of man in the only qualities which men then ' possessed, brute courage and strength. feut the student of American history a century or two, hence will look upon this deprivation of wo men for so long a period as a most remarkable halt in the progress of civilization. While we had ad vanced steadily in every other upward direction, here we remained in the cave of our hairy, low-browed ancestors. For centuries women have been foremost in all the better activities of life, in art and literature, in the work of betterment, and more recently in busi ness and the professions. The adoption of the amendment and its ratifica tion by the earlier states may be regarded in part as a recognition of the achievements of American wo men in the great war. No doubt, but for that, the privilege t suffrage would have been longer de layed but It must have come soon. The crftwning act however was rather grudgingly performed. It was not a recognition of the claims of women but its performance was required by a political, partisan exigency. But in history that will not be remem bered to detract from the glory of Tennessee. And we mention it now only because we all know it and because we know that what we here say will not go into the record. Why We Should Register . : There are only nine days more for registration for the primary. There has been already a good registration, at least in this county, but there are etill many hundreds who have not registered, though no doubt many of them expect to register after the primary for the general election. They can do more for the cause of good citizen ship by registering now and by presenting them selves at the primary. Especially the Republicans can better serve the cause of good citizenship by doing that, thus reducing the apparent discrepancy between the number of Republicans and the number of Democrats. That Arizona is nominally Democratic Is un doubted but that it is overwhelmingly, Hopelessly Democratic we do not believe. We do not use the word "hopelessly" in a sense derogatory to our Democratic friends. The situation would be as bad if the state were hopelessly Republican. It i3 not a good thing for a state or a county to b so one-sided that a great part of its population feels that its votes will be cast uselessly; that it is in fact disfranchised. If it can be shown that parties are pretty nearly even in strength each will select better and stronger candidates. And if one party or the other makes a mistake in that respect, it will be more likely to be rectified at the general flection. The Republicans have seldom made a good showing at the primaries for the reason that they have not tried to 'do so. They have not had the in centive of a contest for one thing. The lack of that was due to their belief that they would have no chance at the general election. To use a classic term they have allowed themselves to be "buffa loed.' They have stood aside and permitted Demo cratic factions to wrangle over candidates, neither faction caring much about the fitness "of its candi dates and as a result they have frequently presented the people some pretty scrubby ones. The Republicans can change all this by turning out at the primary this year. They can make such a 'showing that if the Democrats should nominate unfit men for office, there will be enough Democrats who care jmore for fitnees than for party to assist with some hope in defeating them. A result will be that we will n-t on'y have better officers next year but that two years hence the Democrats will be more careful, the Republicans will be more sanguine and we will have better officials. Eeside, the Republicans have this year some con tests of their own. one extremely important one. for the nominition for "United States senator. That alone should bring every Republican voter in tha state to the primary J.etevery Republican in Arizona togister before August 27. Poland And . Freedom shrieked When Kosciusco Fell." is perhaps on of the reasons why our sympathies arc generally with Poland. We who learned that line and others of Campbell's poem like: "On Prague's proud arch the fires of ruin glow. Her blood-dyed water, murmuring far below" are naturally backers of Poland. We would be, even if we did not hold the soviet government in detesta tion The "Partition cf Poland" has been denounced by English speaking orators and writers ns the foulest i rime since the partition, by the easting- of lots by the Roman '.soldiers, of the .Saviour's garments after the crucifixion. Wc fire further warmed to Poland by' the fact t!.:tt we r eive.l much help in the. Am'iiin revolu tion frun ihe Polish patriots. Poland since the time of the two Sigismunds nearly four centuries ago when its area was the greatest, when its prosperity was the highest and its people the happiesthas been in trouble. When it changed its constitution and began electing its kings and extending the power of its nobles, it started on the down 'grade which it thereafter pursued with few interruptions. Its troubles were always largely pre cipitated by some act of its own. The agressions , of powerful neighbors were generally provoked.' though in no case did the provocation warrant the terrible ' punishment that followed. . We hope that I'oland may withstand the bol shevik! and that It will come out of the war trium phant but so chastened that it will refrain from the national or rather racial tendency of three centuries, unnecessarity to invite disaster. The Quitting of Mr. Ramsdell In his statement setting out his withdrawal from the contest for the Democratic nomination for United States senator Hn. W. R. Ramsdell- explains that he betakes himself from the field in order that the forces opposed to Hon. M. A. Smith may be united. In union there is strength, we have been told so often that we alniost believe it, but we cannot see the application of this truth to the action of Mr. Rams dell. We have made a careful survey of his follow ing and do not perceive what strength his released forces can add to the confederacy against Mr. Smith. Mr. Ramsdell, we suppose, had some personal following. Every candidate must have, but we were never able to discover that he had any elemental support. He is sufficiently aggressive and energetic, a man of pleasing address, but he never seemed to be able to find a place to break in. He made his strong est appeal to labor, that is. to organized labor with which he had never had any affiliation except per haps in an honorary capacity. In the present situa tion in this state, one cannot talk successfully of eing "fair to both capital and labor." - One may de sire to be, and perhaps would be, or at least would try to be, if he were placed in a position in which his fairness would count. But we regret to say that con ditions are such here, and at the present time, are such almost everywhere that when a candidate pub-" licly professes fairness to both sides, neither side be-' lieves him. They look upon him as a cowardly straddler. It would be a great deal better for him in the circumstances to omit all mention of fairness and prefer only the , claims of a good citizen. His public recognition as a candidate, of a controversy between capital and labor emphasizes the controversy and the leaders on each side become suspicious of him. This suspicion finally permeates the whole electorate, for the labor and capital quarrel has so spread that practically every citizen is on one side or the other of it. Mr. Worsley has made no profession of fairness. Of course, he assumes as every candidate should as sume, that the voters think he is fair just as it should be assumed that a candidate is honest, vir tuous, sober and possessed of all the fundamental qualities of good citizenship. But what Mr. Worsley has said has been for labor. He recognizes that it is right and that whatever is against it must be wrong. Whatever else may be said of him, he cannot be ac cused of straddling. He is after the labor vote" and the votes of the sympathizers with labor. - Thet withdrawal of Mr." Rarosdelt will' restit' in no new alignment or shifting of voters.' The effect of it will be the same as that produced by thev with drawal of one's finger from water. He will look in vain for the hole. Selling a Pig In a Poke We know it is none of our business who gets the Democratic normnationa for state offices. We are entitled as all spectators are along the side lines, to indulge in comment on the play. So we think that the members of the sfate land board who are now canvassing the state for votes at the primary, leav ing the affairs of the land department at its most critical stage huns up for a period of more than two months, are not making votes for themselves thereby. Until now the land department had some policy with respect to the leasing and the sale of lands. Whether the policy was a good one or bad one, does not now matter. Those interested in the disposition of the state lands knew where they stood. But now. no one knows. If the three candidate members of the board should be nominated and elected they would still be members of the board and then with two years ahead of them they would announce a policy. We think the stockmen and the homesteaders and also those having an interest, though a less direct one", in the state lands would rather have a determina tion of a policy before the primaries. Nobody but a natural born gambler will buy a pig in a poke. There is no question so vital to the people of this state as the disposition of the public lands. Certainly the people are not so deeply concerned in the political well-being of the ex-officlo members of the land department. They are concerned only in the conduct of the department. We think if these candidate members would de cide in favor of a land policy whatever it might be that would make them some votes at the primary it would, of course, lose them some. But their silence, their delay, is sure to be interpreted as playing both ends against the middle and nobody likes that kind of a player. ( A candidate, often withholding a public pro nouncement of the things he stands for makes known his position privately. That would be satisfactory if he could thus reveal himself to enough people and convince them that what he told them was what he had told everybody, else. But naturally, they would not believe that. No record is worth a continental unless it is a public record. WHO'S WHO It takes 3302 pages to recite the virtues of the 23,443 people biographed in this American biennial publication. Who's Who. The men and women in cluded because "of special prominence in creditable lines of effort," undoubtedly were rightly chosen. But so it seems so many, so very many, were left out. One would like to see some day a Who's Who containing the names of a lot of people who are doing a great share of the world's work, heroes and heroines in all lines of human endeavor who as yet have never had a chance at a "lookin" in any body's Who's Who. Take soldiers, crippled for life. who. after recon duction, are making good in a thousand different lines; take mothers, who gave their sons in war; take the plain, patient strugglers, who, work as they may, for some reason or other, get nowhere except a day by day living: take men and women a hun dred of whom everybody knows such a compilation would be a real Who's Who, with a human ' appeal greater than fine gold. After all, it is ju.-n or(lin.i?vor iTTe""B'ty get the work of the world dune'. "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME" AUfc HC- SAt!

A Tribune special says that hostile Apaches .after cross ing the Rio Grande, marched 60 miles into the interior and toik their stand in the mountains of Socorro. After crossing and when about 60 miles from El Paso they took a little Mexican vil lage and killed two Mexicans beside stealing a few horses. Col. Valle has gone to Chihuahua, but where his troops are is unknown, but are sup posed to be on the trail of the hostiles. Tucson. Aug. 19. A Citizen special says: All protests on Tombstone townsite cases have been rejected. This indicates an early issuance of pat ents to the Tombstone town authori ties. Territorial ' The thermometer marked 115 last Friday at Yuma . Hon. H. S. Stevens is again in the territory. Carpenters get $4;50 a day at Tucson and are scarce at that. In Pima county Fred G. Hughes is a candidate for county recorder and Hugh Farley is up for district attor ney subject to the Democratic county convention. Local Mr. Hellings has not been in prison in Philadelphia or any other city, as stated in Wednesday's Expositor, but James Reilly. the late editor of the Ex positor, has been ,as our dispatches to day show. (This has reference to a contempt proceeding instituted by Judge Reilly against Jones, a lawyer of Tombstone, who was arrested. Se curing his release on a writ of habeas corpus, he procured the arrest of Judge Reilly. But why connect him with the Expositor with which he had severed relations?) No other city of Arizona enjoys the pleasure of a brass band composed of the young men of its own city like Phoenix. The boys are making excel lent prdgress under their efficient teacher, Prof. Kelly, as our citizens have an opportunity to judge at the weekly open aid concerts at the plaza every Wednesday evening. Their playing last night was good. Arizona's Largest Nugget Yesterday afternoon George A. Treadwell, the mining expert, showed us a gold nugget, the largest so far found in Arizona, weighing 12Vb ounces and is valued at ?220. It was taken from some new diggings on the west side on Antelope peak, near Yaqui Wilson's place, 15 miles north of Wick enburg. The fortunate miner is Pedro Losaro.

"scholar and typographer," alive today, he would be in line for a presidential nomina tion, for, somehow, we do not seem to be able to choose a candidate these days without picking on a reformed printer. However, Dolet died 374 years ago. at the special request of various dignitaries he had lampooned in one of his famous books, which he wrote, set up and printed. He was condemned to death for the ostensible crime of having given a "false translation to a line from Plato." by which standard half the college students of this country could be sent to the chair every day during the school year. Dolet was too far ahead of his times to be a very per manent citizen of his country, France. o Nealen of Phoenix for Suprama Court. Adv. 4t o ' the: older BArmes ARE AIX UPSET V TH THIRD' PARTY t !
