The latest figures compiled by
Secretary of State Osborn shows
12,092 automobile licenses have
been granted in Arizona this
year, 4774 more than were grant
ed last year. Evidently the peo
ple of the state are not suffer
ing any from financial distress.
Jonn D. Archibold, president
of the Standard Oil Company,
died at his country home in New
Jersey last Tuesday. His claim
to fame was based entirely on
his ability to handle the gigantic
corporation of which he was
president, and through which he
accumulated his fortune estimat
ed in the millions. Dissolution
of the spirit and the body has
separated him from his job and
his millions, and the world is
none the better for his having
lived, except that his immediate
relatives will be abundantly
provided for their future comfort.
The board of supervisors of
Coconino county did not canvas
the vote from Saginaw precinct
because it was not returned in
time by the election officials, but
Attorney-General Jones, hearing
it cast a majority for Hunt, im
mediately notified the board that
it meet, canvas and make return
of the vote. In Cochise county
the supervisors did not canvas
the vote of Wilgus precinct for
the same reasons, but it gave a
majority for Mr. Campbell, and
up to date we have not heard
that the Attorney-General had
issued any preemptory man
date on the Cochise supervisors.
This is what our democrats
friends probably call fair dealing,
and getting an honest express
ing of the vote as cast for gover
nor.
With not a republican paper
in the state making an adverse
comment on the proposed contest
on the governorship by the
friends of Gov. Hunt, every
democratic paper is devoting
considerable space explaining
why there should be a recount
in the interest of honest elec
tions, and closing their diatribes
with the suggestion that re
publicans are placed in an unen
viable position by antagonizing
the movoment. Up to date the
democrats are doing all the talk
ing and making all the noise,
and republicans are sitting quiet
ly by awaiting the pleasure of
the democrats, and it is this
silence and indifference that is
worrying the democrats who are
urging the contest.
We hope our American women
in their zeal for suffrage will not
be guilty of the rowdyish mili
tant tactics of their English sis
ters. The action of a delegation
in the House at Washington, in
unfurling over the balcony rail
a “Votes for women” banner,
while President Wilson-was de
livering his message to Congress
was but a little short of insult to
the Chief Executive of our coun
try. These il-advised enthusi
asts of suffrage should remem
ber that the first requisite of
citizenship is loyalty to the office
of President of the United States,
and their cause, however just,
is not advanced with sober-mind
ed, thinking people, with mani
festation of lack of courtesy and
respect to that high office. It
was not Mr. Wilson speaking
to Congress. It was the Presi
dent of the United States. The
sergeant-at-arms promptly grab
bed the offensive banner fiom
the hands of the suffragettes,
and he would have been justified
in expelling them from their
seats. The President ignored
the incidant with silent contempt
and no doubt pity for their im
becility.
It must have been a real auto- c
mobile race that was held in
Phoenix Thanksgiving Day.
They killed a man or two and
injured some others. Its great 1
sport.
The Williams News has given
a manifestation of financial pros-!
perity by adding a linotype ma
chine to its office equipment.
Mr. Wells is giving the people of
Williams a good local newspaper,
and we are glad to know he is
getting rich.
When the legislature meets in
January three women will occupy
seats in the lower house, Mrs.
McKay of Bisbee, Mrs. Pauline
O’Neill of Phoenix and Mrs.
Theodora Marsh of Nogales.
There will be no member of the
gentler sex in the senate.
The rumor has it now that
Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane is slated for a posi
tion on the supreme bench made
vacant by the resignation Chas.
E. Hughes, and that the cabinet
vacancy thus created will go to
Francis J. Heney of Los Angeles.
W. J. Bryan wants the govern
ment to publish a newspaper so
the people can get all the doings
of the government at Washing
ton pure and undefiled. We can
imagine how pure and undefiled
it would be with a board of edi
tors holding their jobs by virtue
of political appointments. Those
editors would be more interest
ed in holding their jobs than
in giving the true inwardness of
the government business, and
some of the crooked schemes
that always are being railroaded
through Congress.
At last the official canvas of
the vote for governor has been
completed, and Tom Campbell
has a majority of 32 over Gov.
Hunt. Within the next few days
Gov. Hunt, by his attorneys, will
institute a contest to have the
ballots recounted, alleging fraud
in some of the counties. A
peculiar feature of the proposed
contest is that fraud is alleged
only in the counties that gave a
majority for Mr. Campbell. Is
it not remarkable that all the
counties that gave Mr. Hunt a
majority held perfectly legal and
honest elections?
The sixty-fourth Congress as
sembled for its last session Tues
day noon, and according to his
custom, President Wilson ap
peared and personally delivered
his message to the members. It
was a brief message, dealing al
most entirely with the railroad
problem and the eight hour ba
sic day of the train service em
ployes. He also asks that the
membership of the Interstate
Commerce Commission be in
creased, and their powers en
larged so the question of wages
can be considered in adjusting
freight rates. He also advocates
some method of compulsory ar
bitration to prevent strikes in
the future. The members are
all anxious to dispose of all the
unfinished business before Con
gress by March 4th to avoid a
special session next summer.
Speculation in food products of
all kinds should be made a felo
ny by an act of Congress, and
then have the law rigidly en
forced by putting a few offend
ers in federal prison. To per
mit capitalists to band together
to corner food products and then
force from consumers an unre
sonable high price is a crime
against society, and shows the
dangerous power of capital if per
mitted to go unchecked. Cold
storage concerns should come un
der government supervision, and
schedules of storage limitations
placed on thedifferent food stuffs.
There is no defense of the princi
ple of storing eggs for ten months
or a year—it is simply gambling
with the food products of the
CDuntry taking no account of the
suffering of the poor in its wake.
It is up to Congress to act at once
with effective legislation to sup
press the greed of Mammon and
j save the people from oppression
| and want.
Why not patronize the Win
slow Laundry? We have the most
up-to-date plant in the state, and i
it is a credit to any city. We
are doing high grade work. We
are home people; we employ
fourteen people, and the money
paid to them is spent right here
in town. Ail we ask is a trial
bundle.
