St. Valentine His Day and Its Observance

One week before the celebration of the natal day of the most popular saint In the calendar seems a most appropriate and suspicious time for discussing the day we all cared 50 much for when chll- dren, and which we ought to observe even in our maturity. Saint Valentine. born about the year aIO. in the reign of the Roman emperor. Marcus Aurellus Claudlus. was a gentle. charitable bishop. famous for h's deeds of kindness his be nightly and his persuasiveness in con vertiag pagans to the Christian faith. Like so many Christian bishops and other churchmen. he became a martyr. being first beaten with clubs and then be- headed. To recompense him for this suf- fering and death. though 1t seems rather difficult to figure out just how this would help his cause. Inasmuch as he had al- ready died and gone to his real reward. he was canonized. His bones now rest in the Church of St. Praxedes. In Rome. Moreover, Pope Julius. the first of that name. honored him still further by erect ing a church to his memory near the Ponte Molo, in Rome. the saints fame being further commemoTated by his name being given to the gate now known as the Porta del Popolo. though then des- ignated as Porta Valentino.
 Just what connection there Is between the saint and tine love breathing mlssives and cupid covered cards now lnseparably associated with the celebration of his birthday Is difficult to discover. Some have credited lt to the desire of the church. then struggling with the problem of converting to Christianity all the Lat in world. to make concession that the pagans might see that It was not nt all as harsh a religion as the latter gen eraily credited It with being. far more Llausilile explanation of the mat ter lies In the association of the date and its love-making incentive with the carni- val lime that was celebrated each year albout the 14th of February. Every court in Europe then had assembled d notable gathering of knights, who on that tGte entered into sort of l. mouths allegiance to some ladyloVe. the latter even as Icday. picking ont the man she desired to have her knight. leap year

Correct Clothes for the Careful Dresser

The discerning man can invariably form . true estimate of 6 woman's taste in the matter of dress by observing her shoes; only to a slightly lesser extent may the same truism Dc uttered in regard to the manner a man shods bis feet. It Is the little things in dressing that count. and the kind of boot or shoe used-to be American rather than English in my terms-is one that is all important vio- len1y pointed shoes were never good form, despite their semivogue al one time aud the occasional display even now of shoes of this description in shop win dows. Being correct means being rational in this insta nee, for the correct shoe is that which takes the shape of the foot to s great extent. Toe caps are a matter of preference pot of propriety. Patent leather shces are for use at so-called ''oe- casions," not for business or lounginE. despite the fact that many men use them for ordinary wear

WHISKY THE MOST
 DEMoRALIZlNG THING.

'I have defended forty-one men and womeno for murder in my life, and nineteen out of twenty of the crimes were caused by whisky. have de- fended lots of other criminal cases in my life. and I am safe in saying that nineteen out of twenty of them were caused by liquor. Whisky is the most demoralizing thing in the world. Mec do not usually drink it to get into a condition to rob and kill, but wh 'll they get it in them they are ready for any sort of deviltry that comes to hand."-Col. l. W.

Dug up a Live Man.

The Liquor Dealers Publicity Com mittoe has. like the witch of Endor, disturbed tic graves of three generu tions to elicit testimony against t9en- tieth century prohibition of it's traffic.

Arizona, in April 1908. Unfortunately. the Ananias Club woke up one man whom they thought dead. Rev Robert J. Burdette, the once famous editor of the Burlington Hawk Eye. and now the popular pas tor of the Temple Baptist church of Los Angeles. Dr. Burdette immedi
 ately sat up and took notice" and made a few remarks which must hay" made the ears of the Publicity Com
 mittee burn. The hypocritical mis- representation of good men which has characterized the literature of the h- auor side in this contest has won many votes for prohibition. It is well that the campaign is near Its close for if there were time for few more men like Robert J. Burdette, and many of them have been quoted in favor of the ginmill. to speak there would not be enough left of the saloon to prohibit.

Personal Responsibility

The voters of MaricOpa county have today, for the first time. the oppor- tunitv of declaring their attitude to- ward the greatest crime-producer in the wOrld-the liquor saloon It is their privilege to shnt it's doors and stop :ts evil work or to endorse it's and continue it.
 If an:' voter thinks this IS not a serious matter it is because he nas not given the subject proper consideration. The citizen who votes to perpetuate the saloon becomes a partner in it's moral guilt and personally rssponsi- ble for it's evil consequences. If John Doe gets drunk on Phoenix whisky and accidentally or Intentionally kills some one, you cannot escape your share of responsibility for the shed blood. If Prosper Bordoni adds your daughter or some other mans daughter to his public harem, you cannot find fault for you voted to give the opportunity for just such things to come 10 pass. If your boy learns to drink in the gild ed palaces of Washington street. you must not whine or shed tears. it is your own fault. His blood is upon your own head You knew the danger but to save a dollar you agreed to run the risk. You will have to take your medicine and you will get no sympathy Daniel Webster said that the greatest thought which ever exercised his mind was that of his personal responsibility to God. That thought may well de- mand the attention of every voter who contemplates casting a ballot in favor of the institution which is the breed ing place of crime. the nursery of vice, the partner of the brothel. the destroy CT of the home and the murderer of the souls O. men.
