Marcus A. Smith; Wh0 accord Ing to one of the newspaper men of his staff, divides the majority of his time between the family estate i'll Kentucky, and Wash ington, will be due in Arizona the latter part of the summer to tell the people how he saved them from joint statehood and to seek re election to the seat m Congress which he has held down for SO many terms without accomplishing anything in partl- culaf beyond shouting for state hood and almost bringing down joint statehood on our heads. Doubtless Mark will be on hand as of old with his tears, his as- surance of his devotion to Arf- zona, his hand shake, his familiar dehdnciati0n of the Arizona Star, his readiness t0 nip famous product of his native state and other characteristics which have upheld his popularity in the past despite the fact that Arizona has received little or nothing at his hands. It will be interesting to note whether the voters of Ari- zona will allow themselves to be buncoed by the same old political game on whether they will follow the example of the people of Marks own town and county and wake up to the fact that Smith has worked them for a score or more of years.

dressed the delegates and visitors last
night attending the convention of the

Mr.. Bryan, in opening his address,
said he was glad to be a delegate to the
first Presbyterian Brotherhood conven-
ton, and he rejoiced especially that
there was, no contesting delegate. He
said 1t had not always been so in the
past The speaker said he began
church life as a member of the Cum

was IA years of age.
The speaker declared there could be
no real morality without religion as
the foundation of morality.
''Tolstoi defined religion" said Mr..
Bryan, ''as the relation between man
and his God, and this is one of the best
definitions 1 have been able to find.
Tolstoi says morality is the outward
sign of this sentiment. In all my trav-
