Why Arizona Needs Her
Under our present piecemeal, political, pulblic
school system those whom we elect to administer it
have no real power under our laws. They have cer
tain duties to perform, mostly routine or clerical. But
they are without authority. They can only advise for
the betterment of the schools and against the waste
of school funds against which there is no real check.
. The trustees of each district constitute a board of
possible autocrats. Everything is in their hands and
they can be controlled only by the forcefulness or
persuasion of the teacher the superintendent, the
county sperintendent or the superintendent of public
Instruction for the state. They can be compelled to do
nothing and there Is little In connection with the
schools under the dominion of each board that they
can be prohibited from doing. We have some good
schools, and we have some counties in which the
schools are almost uniformly good, but that is in spite
of, and not because of our system. Now and then we
find boards of trustees that are wise and beneficent
autocrats. .
Under such an arrangement as this it is the more
necessary that we should consider the character and
personality of those we elect to administer the laws;
we should exercise the greater care in choosing these
advisory (and they are no more than that,) officers,
and we should see that they are officers of force,
judgment. Initiative, and capable of taking a leader
ship which the law leaves lying upon the ground, of
collecting a leadership of the fragments which the
law scatters about among the school boards of tho
counties and the state.
That is precisely what Miss Toles the republican
candidate for state superintendent of public instruc
tion has done in the last four years In her own county
of Cochise. Miss Toles Is now serving her second
term as county superintendent. Though she is a re
publican she was elected in the strongest democratic
county in the state. But she was not elected as a
republican and she has not been continued in office as
a, republican. She was known in the' large voting
centers of Bisbee and Douglas to be a capable teacher.
Tho voters who knew her recognized her executive
"ability. The people of the whole county became ac
quainted with her and her methods during her first
term. ; , -
The schools of Cochise have been welded together
as those of no other county in the state have been.
Miss Toles has been allowed to proceed, not in dis
regard of the law, but as if there was no code at all.
She has been permitted to make a code as -she has
gone along. Of course, she has done nothing inhibited
by the law. Such a school officer could create a good
school system in a community where there is no sys
tem at all, if only she could have the confidence and
co-operation of the people. Miss Toles has both. , Her
leadership has been accepted.
Such an officer is the kind we especially need now.
Such an officer is the more needed because of our
decrepit, inadequate laws. Such an administration
as she would give would be the most convincing argu- .
ment to the legislature and the people in favor of a
modern school co.de.
Miss Toles, of course, will be nominated as a
republican because the law foolishly requires that
candidates for this office must be nominated by par
ties. But Cochise will cast a great democratic vote
for her, for down there they do not think of her as a
republican but as a foremost educator and executive.
The Wets and Governor Cox
There is probably no more of a foundation for the
charge that the brewing and distilling interests are
contributing to the democratic national campaign
fund than there is for the foolish accusations Gover
nor Cox is making concerning the origin and magni
tude of the republican fund. Judging though, from
the past performances of the brewers and the dis
tillers and the position of Governor Cox in Ohio for
the last four years, we could have no doubt that if the
-ets were making campaign contributions this year,
Governor Cox would be the beneficiary.
But we can see no reason why the wets should
invest in a campaign now, why they should part with
real money unless moved by a sense of gratitude.
There is nothing in the present situation that can
be converted into a service for them. Governor Cox,
even as president could not restore their departed in
dustries. He might as president, fail to veto a
measure amending or repealing the present rigid in
terpretation of the eighteenth amendment, but pro
bably no president would interpose a veto of any
legislation bearing on prohibition. President Wilson,
it is true, vetoed the Volstead act, but President Wil
son is rather outside the run of presidents. Beside
that, his veto was a sop to the American Federation
of Labor to please which another president would
probably not go so far out of his way.
The accusation, though, that the wets have con
tributed to the Cox fund is a very natural one to
make, but it probably would not have been made ex
cept as a rejoinder to the governor's wild charges. It
could be made with an appearance of plausibility and
no doubt thousands who are familiar with events in
Ohio politics within the last four years will accept the
accusation as well founded.
There are certain undisputed facts: In 1012 when
the republican party was divided, Mr. Cox was elect
ed governor. Two years later, though the party was
still divided, but less sharply, with James It. Garfield
a p repressive candidate reecivir:;; something more
than 00,000 vot"s, Frank B. Willio defeated Governor
Cox for re-clcction by a plurality of more than 30.000.

s o' this ovc rturn were plain to
h t't' hio situation. The proh i -
wo acute in that state, much
s y under local option- But all
county, a stronghold of the wets and one of the great
brewing centers of the country had long been over
whelmingly republican. It was also largely German.
Willis was a strong advocate of statewide prohibition
and the papers of Mr. Cox were construed to be not
unfriendly to Germany. Anyway xfamilton county
turned in a large majority for Cox, who likewise re
ceived much more than the normal democratic vote
in all of the large cities. Two years later he prevailed
in the same districts, though Cleveland began veer
ing toward prohibition.
Governor Cox was then recognized as the can
didate of the wets. There was neither concealment
nor denial of that. His position was so well under
stood that his subsequent criticism of the Volstead
act when he became a candidate for the democratic
nomination for president, made it plainer only to the
people living outside of Ohio. It was hts record with
respect to prohibition that secured for him the oppo
sition of Mr. Bryan in the national convention.
If the governor were now, or could be, as presi
dent, in a position to contribute to the rehabilitation
of the brewing and distilling industries, there could
be no reasonable doubt that he would nave the earnest
financial and other support of the wets. But he can
not be placed in such a position, and the wets are
most unlikely to be sending good money after bad. So
far as concerns the brewers and distillers, the wet
and dry issue is a last year's bird's nest. The only
wet and dry issue is one affecting intense prohibition
ists and in a still less degree, those whose only hope
is a slender one that sometime there may be allowed
the use of light wines and a slightly stronger forti
fication of beer.
As a serious disturber of the currents of party
politics, prohibition is as dead as the abolition of
slavery. Wet and dry democrats and republicans
have something else to think of some living issues,
and we may expect to see them next November vot
ing the tickets of the parties which best express their
own views on international, commercial, financial and
economic policies. Most of them, we believe, will be
back In their old parties.
Without Sordid Cash
An interesting development of the campaign fund
investigation, though it is taking the investigators
into a somewhat foreign field, is the fact that the
democratic congressional campaign managers have
had the free run of the government printing office
and the free tyse of the mails for the dissemination of
1,300,000 copies of democratic speeches. Thus, may be
accounted for in part, the irregularities of the postal
service of which we have all been complaining.
It is true that Representative flood who made
an admission that the democrats were making use of
the facilities of the printing office and the mails,
coupled with his admission a statement that his com
mittee was pledged to pay about $5,000 for this service.
It has been the experience of most printers and pub
lishers that if campaign matter is not uaid for in
advance it is not subsequently paid for. It Is on
their experience, that a rule has generally been es
tablished by publishers requiring payment in advance
for such matter, though they might extend almost
unlimited credit to the same persons for commercial
printing. We can hardly believe that the obligation
to the government printing office ever would have
been met or heard of but for the development of it
in the course of the investigation.
The country, we may imagine, may be thankful
that the administration of the railroads and the tele
phone and the telegraph was taken away from the
federal government or the trains and wires would
have broken down under the Intensity of the national
democratic campaign.
A campaign so conducted with everything free
is of course, attended by a minimum outlay of sordid
cash. There is no great burden on anybody. It is
so evenly distributed over the whole electorate that
the .people do not know it is there. They are "cor
rupted" before they know it, and no vile cash figures
in the proceedings.
Under the old system the expenses of a campaign
were met by a comparatively few of the members of
each party. Under this new system the weight like
the gentle dews of heaven descends upon all, demo
crats and republicans alike. We admit that it does
not seem right to make republican taxpayers pungle
for a democratic campaign. But then, "what we don't
know, don't hurt us," and in this case we would not
have known and would not have been hurt if It hadn't
been for this nosy Investigating committee. So, If
we feel sore about it we know whom to blame. Abas!
the committee! Disband it and leave us in blissful
ignorance of what is being done to us when we are
not looking.
"THE PRESENT CRISIS"
"Once to every man and nation comes the moment
to decide,
"In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the
good or evil side ....
"Then it is the brave man chooses, while the
coward stands aside,
"Doubting in hi3 abject spirit, while his Lord is
crucified."
Lowell's words fit any crisis. The choice is. al
ways "present," and the problem is always the same
to feel and fight one's way toward a larger life
and a better world for everyone, when the road is
full of danger and there is no clear light to go by.
To fight for a vision that one sees but dimly!
and to risk present comfort to do it! That takes
courage. But if a man has it in him it is one of the
things that makes life worth the living. The man
who is willing to do it is one whose story is worth
the telling.
The men one reads about took fighting chances
and backed their vision with their lives. Think of
Columbus cajoling his crew to go a little further into
a nameless ocean, that might lead nowhere; of the
Pilgrim Fathers facing untold dangers in a new land;
of the Declaration of Independence signed with the
hangman around the corner; of the frontiersmen, the
Arctic explorers, the inventors who starved and
struggled to put theirideas across, of the struggling
poets and artists who 'left the world a priceless heri
tage. "But the thing may fail, and it costs to try."
' Quite right, my child. It cost Christ comething
to redeem the world. But wasn't it worth while?

EVENING
By Edmund Vance Cooke
What seemed a green and golden globe
Assumes a sombre husk,
As earth slips on an outer robe
Of twilight trimmed with dusk.
The forest hastes across the mist
To meet the drooping sky.
Until his bearded lips have kissed
Her pallor, ere they die.
The last, sad shadows sigh away
And scatter wide and far.
As nipht steals on the gasping day
And slabs her with a star.
And through the air a piping throb
!Vrrver trembles on.
That mournful, low, symphonic sob
Wliii.h blinds the dut;k. to dawn.

HOW FAST CAN A
RACING YACHT SAIL?
The maximum speed of a yacht, supposing-
that her model and the cut of
her sail are correct, is dependent upon
certain adventitious conditions, such as
the right kind of wind, the sea, and
(above all) the skipper. The ideal con
ditions for speed are when a yacht is
reaching in a smooth sea with the wind
over the quarter, that is well abaft the
beam, and with everything set that site
can carry without an excessive angle
of heel. A widely known authority.
Major B. Heckstall-Smith, author of
"The Complete yachtsman," in answer
to the question. "How fast can a rac
ing yacht sail?" states that at full
speed a racing schooner about 105 feet
on the water line can do about 15.8
knots. This would be in a strong
breeze with the wind on the quarter.
Assuming that this speed is about
right, as he believes, he tells us that
with exactly the same breeze, a 90
footer can go 14.2 knots; a 75-footer,
13.4 knots; a CO-footer, 12 knots; a
50-footer, 10.9 knots; a 36-footer, 9
knots; and a 20-foot boat, 7 knots.

undertaken to make to one Mile. Brc
sil, she levied a distress on a house
occupied by him in the Rue Oopernie
and seized various articles, including
the gilded bath. The prince, however,
is married, and he maintains that the
furniture belongs to his wife and is
therefore not liable to seizure for hi:s
debts. The court has ordered the
bailiffs to stay their hand until the
ownership of the furniture is estab
lished, so that, for the present at any
rate, the prince can continue to enjoy
his bath. London Daily Mail.
