AN UNOFFICIAL REPORT
Of the Result of the High School Flee
 ton Last Saturday

Following is the unofficial report of the results Of the high school election held in the different districts last Sat urday. The figures from the Tempe district are accurate as are those from the Double Butte district. The other three may not be considered official but are probably sufficiently correct to establish the personnel of the board. According to the following table of votes cast in the different districts the members of the board are J. O. Mullen. I. V. Stewart and Sam Brown from the town district and F. H. Simmons and W. A Moeur from the country dis tricts. The vote was very close between Stewart and Wilbur and Simmons and Gustafson and it is marely possible that when all the returns are in the hands of the county superintendent Of schools. the results may be slightly different than are. reported in this table. No votes were cast at the rural district

spoke on American Women and Foreign

in the Calvary Baptist Church. in West
Fifty-seventh street. New York City. in
the first Of a series Of addresses he is Civ
ing in his church. Dr. Macarthur said:
Recent newspaper reports OF troubles
between titled foreigners and American
women who have become their wives fll
the hearts OF all true Americans with
mingled pity and humiliation. That some
Of these marriages are most happy is
quite certain. At the great Durbar in
India an American woman. Lady Curzon.

only TO that filed by the Queen OF Great

carry great wealth with her 10 England
when she became the wife of the Duke OF
Marlborough American money has kept
European aristocracy from sinking into
OBLIVION.
Some American women have paid an
enormously high price FOR their titles.
What Is the price these American women
and their ambitious fathers and mothers
are willing 10 pay for titles? Some time
ago during a famine in Russia. we read
that many poor peasants sold their
daughters with which 10 buy bread. This
announcement shocked the civilized world.
American parents have done more and
worse Chan did these starving peasants.
American girls have sold their woman
hood. their country. their language. and
their religion for husbands who are pc
culiarly contemplate cads and altogether
worthless, although having, perhaps. an
cient titles Compared with such bargain
and sale the sale of Russian peasants to
buy bread TO prevent starvation was a
markedly honorable transaction.
That il IS 4 matter OF sale and pur-
chase cannot be doubted. These abom-
Unable transactions bring The blush 10 the
cheek OF every honorable American man
and woman. Recent events in England
and France are a reproach to noble man
hood and true womanhOOd on both sides
