'v-ill be plenty of people inside and outside of Arizona who will agree with it. Perhaps "Papago" is not the prettiest name in the world, but neither is "Navajo," "Mohave" or "Apache". It is not 10 be wi.unicd, therefore, that the chance in name is due 10 a desire to secure one more pleading io the ear. IT that were the purpose, other names would have been changed, and it is not at all cfrlain that any improvement wouid have been accomplished by sub st it ut ion o.' the name of the commissioner of Indian af fairs. More likely, the purpo:e was to give permanent distinction to one who is deemed a "deserving demo crat". and the opportunity may not be offered again. It is to be hoped that the movement will not become general, for we should dislike to have "Minneha ha' changed to "McAdoo", "Suwanee" to "Daniels'", ' Susquehanna'' to '"Baker", or "Tccumseh" to Kedfleld". Most of the o'd Indian names that have survived at all, have a beauty of sound that jintlfle their retenIton. Others, if not pleasing to the ear, carry impression of strength and courage, such as "Sioux", "Pawnee", and "Piute". Even if the old Indian names have no special beauty or strength, they have an historical value and a sentimental interest which s-hould cause their retention whever possible. Even where an Indian name has undergone changes, an in the case of the adoption of the word Chicago, it is better to retain the name with some of its original Indian characteristics than to abandon It entirely in order to substitute the name of some government official "Burleson", for instance. And yet, if "Papago" is to be abandoned for "Sells", why not "Chicago" give way to Burleson"? Why not change the name of the ' Minidoka National Forest" to the "Woodrow Woods"?

ALL HAIL THE KING! The president is not interested in the various attacks upon the plan for a league of nations which have been made recently in the United States. JCews Dispatch. That's just the trouble with our aristocratic exschoolmaster. He has been hobnobbing with royalty and nobility. He has been wined and dined so much by the crovned heads of Europe that he is not interested n the ideas of the common people any longer. They mean less to him than they ever did. When he and his retinue and his thirty-six packing cases full of presents, given him by kings, queens and others get back to this country, common people's Ideas will mean nothing to his young life and when he returns after his second visit over there, well, we hardly see how be will be able to endure life in a plain old democracy. O course, those abroad, wearing the purple or to the manor born are sometimes forced to take an inter est in the views of their subjects.

NOTHING DOING ON THE ORGAN. The Indianapolis Star, one of the Shafer string of newspapers, which includes the Chicago Post, all of them, shouting themselves black in the face for Wilson and the league of nations, calls Senator Borah an ass and a blatherskite because he opposes the Shafer view. Thereupon the democrat. c press over the stale does a fandango and adds to the discord by praising the Star and calling it the state republican organ. If the Star is the republican organ of Indiana, the White House is a last year's bird's nest. The Star never was a republican organ. It never was anything else except a journalistic kept woman. Senator Borah will go right ahead without caring what he is dubbed by the Shaferite string. He at least will not ask permission of the Star to deliver his message to the American people. We guess that the Borah record will stand the spot light. Borah was never found carrying water on both shoulders and spilling it all. He never supported Beelzebub one day. Cherubim the next r.nd then prostrated himself before Baal, before the cock crew on the third. The Indianapolis Star, the state republican organ! Somebody get the lysoK

TOUGH ON POSTERITY. Having failed to get the budget system considered by congress on its own merits. Chairman Sherley of 'he House appropriation committee announces his intention of trying to sneak one through as an appendage to one of the appropriation bills. If the practice of attaching "riders" to bills they have no logical con . ion with is ever to be sanctioned, it is surely in a case of this kind. According to business men in and out of congress, there is no greater .standing need at Washington than some rational system of appropriating money for government expenses.

'The need has been felt particularly during these w?r years, when appropriations ran into tens of billion-, without any machinery prorided to keep track of them. I , In normal times the need is not so great, but the possibility of businesslike procedure is much greater, j

there will be ample occasion henceforth for all the system congress can inject into its work. The country will be spending several billions a year for several years p come, and will never return to anywhere near the old standard of expenditure. It is highly desirable, j then, to have some device bv which congress mav know

within a billion dollars or so how much money it is going to dispose of in any particular year. A proper system of apportioning income r.nd outgo

among the vtrious governmental departments might easily save hundreds of millions of dollar3 a year. Every president within recent memory ha3 pleaded for it. Vet. congress has hitherto shirked this obvious duty hy, no seems to know. Good luck to Mr. SherTev's

EUROPE NEEDS AMERICA. " Jona Oliver Coff, a. young New Yorker who came to London several years ago as manager of the financial department in Europe of a large American corporation, has been appointed financial adviser to the American delegation on the Commission Internationale de Ra vitaillement. Mr. Coff, whose duties have taken him to almost every corner of the European continent, forsees a great boom for American commerce in the period of rccon strection to which Europe it now beginnin to set her self. "America," he aays. ' must rebuild the world Europe has been bled white of her young manhood, her industries have been paralyzed or destroyed, and she depends almost entirely upon America to give her that helping hand which alone can set her going again. "America must prepare to redouble her efforts, both as regards the production of foodstuffs and the output of manufactured articles. There is scarcely a commodity we grow, or an article we make in our factoriewhich could not be used in some part of Europe at thi.very moment. As an instance, half of Europe is now and has for the greater part of the war been in dark ness owing to lack of fuel. People have had to live anight by candle light and there is a consequent shortagt of candles. I might mention a thousand other things, but this will serve to illustrate my point. The fact if. Eurone needs America more now than ever before."

AN AMAZING RECORD. On November the eleventh the last shot was fired 'n the great war. It will soon be four months since the war ended and wounded United States soldiers coming to this country at the rate of over a thousand a day. There is something vitally wrong, criminally wrong with a system that takes a third of a year to determine ror parents of boys in this country whether their boys are living or dead. Doesn't it seem as if some way might have been 'ound long before this to complete these casualty list? and end the anx'ety which ip many cases amounts to ftgonV

A CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET. The Tucson, Ariz., "Citizen" conveys the information that under the administration of Cato Sells, as Indian commissioner, the Papago Indian reservation has been re-named the "Cato Sells Reservation" and the name of the principal town has been changed from 'Indian Oasis" to "Sells." The headquarters of the Indian Agency will be removed from its present site, with nine miles of Tucson, to "Sells", which i3 seventy1ve miles from a railroad, telegraph or telephone.

MUSICAL QUACKS. Speak to the lawmaker about the necessity of state licsnses for music teachers, to hf granted only after passing stiff examinations, and he smiles. Music lessons for children are beneath his digni';-. Here, however, is just one little true story. The laundress w-as a widow. She was a self-respect-ing person who had managed to pay for her little home, and wanted education and opportunity for her children Her brother knew a little of music and he kept in sisting that "Dorothy does not play right." Finally, the mother went to one of her employers, a woman who had been an intelligent music teacher for years before the advent of her own children, and asked her to listen te Dorothy. This was her finding a carefully reached de cision, given on purely unselfish grounds: Dorothy had spent four yearn at fifty cents a week without being able to play the simplest bit of rnusi" correctly. Dorothy could not read any new bit, however easy, with any degree of accuracy. She pnyed a few things parrot-fashion, half right. Two years with a competent teacher, careful prac tice and implicit obedience to instructions might pu her where, she should have been two years ago. It is not only a question of musical pieces. Doro; h had spent four years learning to be' content with slip Fhod observation, slipshod practice, slipshod results. Not only had she failed to get any appreciation of beauty through music, but four years of thinking "What's the difference? That's good enough" cannot help but weaken the moral fibre. The incompetent teacher had stolen her mother's hard-earned money and had given the child weakness instead of strength. The quacks continue to fluorish, preying upon the poor.

the dividing ocean may serve as successful barriers against the prospective Invasion. Notwithstanding all the present confusion, strikes and revolts and counter revolts in that land, Germany is in the. hands of socialists of more or less extreme types. Whatever -element ultimately prevails socialist Germany will set up the new order of society in, which the workers, in control of tha government, will come into direct possession of the mines and mills and shops and roads and forests and landall the industries and natural resourres of the ration. This is the chief alnt and object of socialism. It would mean, that the workers who no longer receive merely r "fair day's wage for a fair day's toil." but they yould then receive "the full fruits of their toil." "Th workers are entitled to the profits they produce," is the slogan of socialism. That is the measure of "justice' as the. socialists view it and measure it. D would mean that the coal miners, or those w-ho make shoes, for instance, who may produce $20 worth of profits per day shall receive $20. And therein lies the greatest menace to the other WMons a menace which1 will be more subtle and irresistible than shot or shell. For. bow long will th toilers in other nations stand for th existing private ownership and was system, or for governments that ma uphold that system, when they see thef fellows in like industries in socialized Germany enjoying all the rroflts then" labor produces? The governments of the allied nations may devise every conceivable device to solye the problems of their labor unrest. They may burn radicn' literature, they may send the radical leaders to prison and deport the agitators, but these will not save them front the menace of a socialized Germans. These are days of the rapid transmission of ideas, and it is impossible to suppress or imprison or deport idea, especially if they are once realized ami proven best for human welfare and happiness. And that is why the kaleidoscope 10morrow may reveal in new German -r the greatest menace to the existing gov ernments. FRANK F. CHERDRON

Today we see all the nations engaged in the world war struggling o their feet. Germany has been beaten on land, on the sea, under the water, in tho air and economically.
