Dear .Sr-Here's another problem for
those arithmetic and algebra scholars
If Dcvoe is worth Sl75 a gallon, and
spreads half further than average paint,
and wears twice as long. what is average
paint worth gallon put-on, painters wages
being 81 day and days work gallon
of paint.
The answer is minus ST. a gallon. That
IS you could afford to paint with average

half the painters wages.

AN OPEN LETTER
 10 LIQUOR DEALERS
Che Who Said That If He Could Live Aqain He Would Live Differently.

We wish you well though we have tried, to fight fair and hit you hard. We have credited you with all the vir- tues we thought the traffic would bear" Nevertheless we suspect that under your vests there may be tender spot responsive to an honest and friendly appeal.
 We would not do you the injustice to assume that the most of you are not able to make a good living for your selves and your families outside the li- quor business. We believe that more than one of those engaged in the liquor traffic are dissatisfied with their posi- tion and would be glad to be out of it. The experience of multitudes engaged in this trade in prohibition cities and towns is that new business opportun-- ities quickly open to them and they soon find themselves in a new situation from which they would for no consider ation return to the old place and work.
 F. w. Thode, once foremost in the trade of this city, facing death a few months ago in California, said to a caller from Phoenix, If l had my life to live over I would live differently. I want my family to forget that I was ever in the saloon business The time will come when every one of you will echo Bill Thode's words. The time to live differently is now. The way to make your family forget that you were ever in the saloon business" is to of if There of who have wife and children of which any man might be proud-a patient wife, sweet and beautiful children, who deserve the tenderest consideration and foresight on your part. For their sake cut loose from the whole business. and let them forget it while they are young. You don't want your boys hanging around your place of business. You don't want your boys in partnership with you or to continue the saloon business when you are dead.
 Suppose you should be hard up tenn porarily, think how many of your best customers are hard up all the time. You will land on your feet when you jump. There are plenty Of openings. We are a little short of undertakers just now, Get into real estate. The boom" is surely coming. When you close up and people get used to waeer, we shall re- claim hundreds of acres of rich land and make dollars grow all over them. Buy ranch and see things grow on your own plantation. Every consider ation urges you to get on to dry land before the bottom falls out of the liquor trade. If we don't out-vote you today, we shall close you little later as sure as fate. This movement is worldwide and growing stronger every day.
 The prudent man forseeth the evil
 and hideth himself,
 But the foolish passeth on and is pun
 ished."
 Listen to the quiet little fellow in side of you who is whispering, For the children and the wife's sake: for dear old mothers sake, vote dry and quit the business" vote for prohi- bition is a vote for your boys and girls It is vote which will not rise like a haunting spectre to disturb you in your dying hour. It is vote for which you will not be obliged to offer any apology before the throne of final judgment

IHE COMMENCEMENT
 Al OSBORN SCHOOL
Years Work Closed with Pleasing Program, Enjoyed by Large Num- ber of People.

The graduation exercises at the Os- the close of another school year most gratifying to the trustees and patrons. The graduating class of eleven mem bers who have just completed their grammar school work are deserving students who have we'll earned these first diplomas. and many of whom will continue to build upon this foundation of higher education.
 So large was the attendance and so well rendered was the program that many remained standing throughout the evening. The drills and songs by the smaller pupils of the school were entertaining and sometimes very funny and evidenced much careful prepara- tion on the part of the teachers in charge. "The Famine" pantomime by the girls of the graduating class, was vory pretty feature of the en- tertainment. Instrumental music and recitatiOns were also pleasing num- bers.
 The diplomas were presente" - O'Neil, who made a short talk to the graduates. complimenting them upon their good work and eXhorting them to live up to the ideals and precepts of their early training, which he said was only the beginning of what they are to achieve when they shall be- come useful citizens of the state and nation. He thanked the principal and teachers of the school on behalf of the trustees and patrons for their earnest and fruitful efforts during the past year.

"4ND THE GREATEST OF THESE
 IS CHARITY

To the Editor of the Republican, Sir: There is so much intrinsic meaning | to the word charity" According to the Century dictionary charity is de- fined as good will, allowance in judg- 1 ing others and their actions, a dispo- sition inclined to favorable judgment. On the eve of momentous election ! it would be well for some of our i friends to practice charity of the latter i denomination.
 i For the past three weeks this paper ! has been largely confined to the pros and cons on the prohibition question. Heated arguments on either side have made the issue a most bitter Contro- versy. Now let us be sober. Let us look at this question from charitable standpoint. Let us remember that the prosperity of our great city is at stake and Phoenix, the proudest city in all the southwest, is facing crisis. am | not eXaggerating one bit when l say l that the Phoenix of today is one of ! the most sober cities in the west. i When the matter of closing the gamb- ! ling dens came up we all applauded \ the grit of our fellow citizens in voting \ gambling out of business. Next we undertook to close the saloons on Sun |! days. Opinions may differ regarding the radical action of our city council It was public sentiment. they said. We'll let it go at that. Next came the ' closing of the saloons at F o'clock each night. Popular sentiment caused it. was the only explanation.
 k Now why ask for more?
 Why not teach temperance instead of this constant harrassing of men who have done their mightiest in upbuild- ing this city? Why all this upheaval against men who have cause to be proud of many acts of charity? Par don me if I ask, is it charity to en- croach upon the personal liberty of Phoenix's respectable people who be- lieve in the proper use of liquor? Why not enact restrictive laws that will make the liquor business as respecta- ble as any other business?
 Are you aware of the fact that this glorious citv of ours is at the mercy of typhoid and diphtheria germs? We need the money to build new sewer system. We need it badly. Then why not cooperate with our liquor selling friends in getting a new sewer sys- tenn? Let us be merciful. charitable to our children by deriving enough rev enue to build this new sewer system. Men of Phoenix, today is the day when the opportunity is presented to ] you to vote for a greater Phoenix by granting a new lease of life to our friends. the saloon men.
 I will add that l am not financially interested in the liquor business. di- rectly or indirectly. This article is strictly unsolicited. Nothing but a sense of justice and charity has in duced me to contribute these lines to cause worthy of your sincere con sideration.

STILWELL VERSUS SALOONS.

A CERTAIN MERCHANT in south town has had an increase in his busi- ness of one-third since the two small saloons in that section were closed.
 This report came to me over the telephone yesterday afternoon and has been verified by reliable citizens.
 Is it not reasonable to say that since the business of one merchant has in creased one-third in so short a time. and when only two small saloons are closed, all the merchants will have a material increase in bushes when all the saloons have been closed?
 Certainly it is bringing the discussion to too low a plane when we consider the financial phase of the question, but there are some who will not see any other phase of it. The above state ment is for those of that class.
 The most important question is, Will you vote to legalize the ruin of the boy and the weak men?
 Let us be honest with the youth. with the weak men and women, with ourselves and with our God by voting to CLOSE THE SALOONS TODAY.

HONEYMOON

William Maxwell, former auditor
of the Potlatch Lumber Co., was
arrested at Winsor's cafe last night
by Capt. Swain, OF the Thiele de-
tective service, on Whitman
county warrant charTn forgery.
The company alleges that he is
sued forged checks for several hun
dred dollars. Maxwell was kept
under guard last night and taken
back to Potlatch this morning by
Sheriff Radcliffe and Harry Draper.
The accused man has been liv-
ing here for the past two months
with his wife, who is a bride of a
few weeks. They resided on Nora
near Division St, and the detec-
tives have been shadowing his
house for some time.
Maxwell is a graduate of Har-

BY JESSIE M. partition

Behind the commission of every
crime there is reason.
People do not carelessl ycommit
crime; there must be some COM
polling motive greater than the
love of liberty, the regard of ones
fellows, and in the case of muir
derer, stronger than the natural
respect for life.
Divide and subdivide as we may,
there remain only two classes of
criminals, the weak and the strong.
This reason for crime" is con-
scious desire for money, or re-
venge, Or some personal gain in
the strong. 1t is usually uncOn-
scious, and due to some abnormal
mode of life, of congenital defect
in the weak.
There are various agencies for
turning men into criminals today,
and one of the most effective is po-
lice power.
Take the case of Timothy Ho-
gan, alias Timothy Murphy, of New
York. With his partner, Dutch
Palmer, he has spent half his adult
life in prison, and he is now but 81
years old.
Hogan is type of the conscious
criminal now, however he may
have started. He has figured out
a definite line of action in which
the police play a leading part.
Hogan is a good machinist, a
quick, capable, efficient workman
He was first arrested in 1896, for
mixing in a saloon fight where
there was some shooting. For this
| he was given five wears on Black.

SCRAP ON N.
COURT HOUSE
eARNHART SAID TO BE SOUR
BECAUSE JUDGE POlNOEx-
TER WON'T CLEAR PROSE-
CUTOR'S WAY TO BENCH.

There's war in the camp of the
courthouse ring. And the strife
seems principally to be between
Prosecutor Barnhart and Judge
Poindexter The latter wants the
support of the courthouse ring for
his campaign for congress. Barn
hart wants to fill Poindexter's jul
dicial shoes. 1t was expected that
long ere this the Judge would have
resigned his office and left it open
to be filled by the prosecutor. But
the Judge won't resign, it is said,
until it is too late to appoint
Barnhart.
Thus Barnhart will be forced to
make a campaign on his showing
as prosecutor, admittedly very
poor and not strong enough to win
him many votes. Fred Pugh, chief
prosecutor under Barnhart, is also
angry and has been drawn into the
battle. Ii was claimed that should
Barnhart resign and be appointed
in Judge Poindexter's place, con-
ditioned, of course, on that gentle
mans resigning, Pugh would be
appointed to fill the prosecutors
sox. But the county commission
ers, it is claimed, prefer John Mer-
rift for prosecutor.
All of these things have con-
spired to sour Barnhart and indi'
rectly, it is believed. are the cause

remedy must come from a com

1t was once thought that the gold
standard was the panacea. We
adopted that only to find our trou-

settled nothing. 1t merely reduced
our liquidating money to gold and

silver, copper. asset currency and
clearing house certificates by
means of which to shoulder obliga
tons. Credit upon credit: values
inflated upon credit upon which to
issue more credit, to again initiate
values upon which to issue more
credit, and so on until, like the

ture goes to pieces.

being floated over the national
