Would Bar Out Diamonds

If the Rev. Miss Martha Bortle, a prominent club woman and preacher from Washington, D. C., had her way, persons wearing diamonds would be excluded from the ideal church.
 ''I should like to build elegant churches in the slums," said Miss Bortle, speaking before the Chautau. qua Women's club, "but I would put up large bulletin board in front with the notice:
 :" No persons wearing diamonds shall enter this church. No automobile shall stop at this church. No one who rides in carriage shall stop or enter this church. Only those who walk or ride in street car are entitled to 8 seat in this house.
 Systematic and conventional the ology has almost made the holy spirit a rare visitor in our churches. The churches, however, are working in bet ter harmony than we think. Their work really resembles wash day. The Methodist church picks people up, the Baptist church washes them, the Pres byterian church blues them, the Epis copal church starches them and the Universalist irons them"

THE STRIKE RUMoRs

It is about time that some of the strike rumOr agitators in Globe are squelched. For the last three weeks rumors of impending labor trouble in this district have been rife and these have invariably been given eredence out of Globe by other territorial papers, although totally ignored at home.
 Even in Los Angeles and other far away cities the Globe visitor is asked for the latest news on the "strike situ- ation." As matter of fact, there is no "strike situation' in this district, nor is there any impending labor trou- ble whatever.
 RumOrs have been delivered at the Silver Belt office almost daily by prob ably well-meaning but deluded individ- uals, to the effect that the miners are about to go on strike, or that there is to be meeting to vote on a strike for higher wages, or shorter hours, or perhaps because a shift boss has spoken in an unladylike tone to a mucker. These rumors when run down invariably resulted in nothing. As one of the off, cials of the miners union stated, when. ever grievance is heard at regular meeting of the union, strike rumor is given birth.
 That Globe is the most Aourishing mining camp in the southwest is no longer denied, even by rival camps, and labor conditions throughout the district are excellent. In no other camp in the southwest are wages higher or working hours better. The heads of the various companies operating in the district are level headed, up-to-date business men, the officials of the miners union are efficient and good citizens and the rela. tions between the two are more amic- able than in most organized mining camps.
 Conditions such as exist in the Globe district cannot but give promise of the most successful period in the history of the district and when the "summer dullness" Gin the stock market only) has become thing of the past, Globe will take her rightful place in the cop. per world. In the meantime, whenever you hear a noise like a strike, pity the poor man who made it.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION

The recommendation by the coroner g jury in the Kenny case, that the li- censes of saloons in the outlying dis tricts of Globe be revoked, was a good one, although revocation at the present time would work a hardship on those who have paid the high license for a year in advance. No licenses should be granted by the sheriff or board of supervisors for saloon located in a district which is not pOlieed and it would be rather out of the question to furnish a deputy sheriff with each li- eense for a saloon in an isolated section of the county. If these licenses are re- fused, the amount saved to the county will be much greater than the amount received from these licenses.

Northern Arizona oil Fields

Recorder McNeely has received sev- enty-five oil location notices for record from the Northern Mohave oil field It appears that the finding of seepage in this county is bringing in prospectors in large numbers and we expect that should oil be found our northern strip will prove one of the most valuable possessions of the territory. The coun- try is peculiar one, the formation be- ing sandstone, lime and shales. In places there are small cappings of vol canic tuff and ashes, the tuff covering the high cliffs in cubical pinnacles. Some distance north of the Grand Can yon there are high granite peaks COW cred with heavy growth of pine tim Der, which extends onto the great Buck skin or Kaibab plateau. This plateau is sandstone and lime and many rich mines of copper have been found in it, but owing to its great distance from railroads little effort has been made to develop the mines. The country is broken by maze of box canyons that spread out for sixty miles to the north of the Grand Canyon, where they grad ually open out into valleys of constant ly increasing width until the valley of the Virgin is reached near St. George, the Mormon Dixie.
 A letter was received from w. F.. Sauls, who is at Virgin City, by E. F. Thompson last Monday. He reports the oil fields to be reality and that he has secured over 5000 acres of land for the Kingman syndicate. So far there is one we'll there, which will produce at the rate of 125 barrels per day. Work has been stopped on the well and the rig is to be removed to another part of the company's holdings. Many thou sand acres have been located along the Virgin river and it is probable that a large number of wells will be struck Mohave Miner.

Bishop Potter's "Job''

To illustrate a point he was making in an address he was delivering the other day, Bishop Potter told the fol lowing story: "Not long ago I was staying with a friend in country house up on the Hudson. On Sunday morning as I passed through the library I found small boy buried up in a big chair deeply interested in book Are you going to church, Toms' asekd. No he replied. Why, I am, I said. Huh, he replied, that's your job. "--Harper's Weekly.

What Are You Doing For Your Boy?
DEE EpIroR ANp FRIEND:

DEAR EDITOR AND FRIEND:
We are at present having a great deal
said about saving our boys, and blame all
on the saloons. Now 1 would like to ask.
What have you fathers and mothers ever
done to keep your boys out of them !?
True, you have carefully told them what
curse liquor is; YOU have taught them
that no self-respecting boy would go TO-,
or into them, and brought them sp to go
to church and Sunday school but what
have you provided in the shape Of enter
tainment for your boys? Where can
your boys go to pass a few hours after
working all day, except to the saloon,
the pool room, the card room or the
street, or worse? Is there no one who
can get up a free reading room where
boys and young men can read the daily
papers, some good magazines, scientific
papers, etc., or have few checker boards,
dominos and other games? A place
where they can gather to discuss the
questions that arise in their daily life. l
think that few dollars spent in this way
will do more and save our boys and young
men, than a hundred sermons and TEN
perance lectures. You say we try to
make our homes as attractive as possible,
so they will stay home but they won't
do so. 1t is only natural that they
will seek company, and it is your duty to
provide place where they can meet such
company without going to a saloon, a
pool room or other questionable place to
meet. Even if you close the saloons,
where will your boys go? Don't you
think that there will be other places
opened that will attract your boys, and
will they be harmless and instructive as
a free reading room would be? l know
there are a number of magazines read in
Milford which the subscribers would
willingly donate for such a purpose, and
/ think there are those who would assist
to the subscription of papers, even dailies
from the different cities and, by enter
tainment, ETC., the rent of some suitable
room, and your boys, at least those of
them not viciously inclined, would have
a place to go which would be as free from
temptation as any place you could pro-
vide. Some of you Philanthropists take
this up, and with the help of the mothers
and sisters, know you can accomplish
more in this way than any other. Then
if you will call on your minister to give
the boys good sensible talk, free from all
orthodoxy and exortation, just common
sense, you will attract them, and once
attracted, you can hold the most of them.
