NO NEED FOR REFORMERs

Stafford is one of the cleanest, if
not the cleanest, town in Arizona,
morally and in every way. There
are no dens of vice to destroy all
that is good and virtuous in our
young women and young men, such
as may be found elsewhere, and
which furnish material for the re-
formers to work on. We are re-
spectacle community and class of
people who take pride in building
up our beautiful town and in ad-
vancing it's interests on every oc-
casion.
But a change has come over us
lately. We find ourselves, our re-
spectacle men and women, young
and old, held up to the ridicule
of the passing throng by those
who have lately come among us and
who try to pose as reformers and
tell us what we shall do.
For the first time in the history
of Stafford, we find street meeting,
held under the guise of preaching
the word of Jesus Christ, but in
reality meeting gotten up for the
purpose of condemning the respect
able element of our society who in
dulged in the innocent amusement
OF attending dance, the proceeds,
If any, to be devoted to a very
worthy cause.
Back East, in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Washington, the
annual charity ball and reception
helo by the leaders of society, is
considered not only proper, but one
OF the greatest events of the season,
and these charity balls are attended
by the best people, who are leaders
in every movement for the better
ing of the condition of the people
in their community. They are men
and women who contribute largely
of their means in settlement work,
endow hospitals for the benefit of
the poor and organize church So
cieties and build chapels for the
purpose of taking care of the spirit
ual welfare of the people.
These people also attend church,
and set good example to others in
cities that necessarily from their
large populations form different
ideas as to what is good and what
is bad.
But nowhere do we find, either
in the public press or in religious
meetings in the East, condemnation
Of these people for attending dances
given for worthy objects.
Broad-minded people do not see
harm in dance conducted in a re-
spectacle manner.
We do not uphold the dance hall,
the low brothel. We have no such
place in Stafford and never will.
But we do uphold and defend our
good women and good men, who
assemble in respectable gatherings
to raise funds for worthy objects,
whether for the church or for the
home Of the old and inarm.
We must leave 1t then to the mar,
ror and b!got.sd 70 bring scs,da.
TO thcss WHO failed 70 ses the dens
Of ln!quity, the halls Of vics, which
lowered the scale of respectability
in the cities where they came from.
1t is Christlike to meet and preach
the word of Christ, and we uphold
such meetings as being in the best
interests of humanity. But we con-
denim the narrowness of an individ-
ual who takes advantage of a meet
ing in Christ's name to utter words
that would bring scandal to many
homes, because of an attendance
and participation at a dance held in
a respectable place. and for a worthy
and Christlike object.
We are free people and worship

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten

Dubuque, Oct. 19.-Relatives m this
city of Lieutenant Richter, United
States navy, who was found dead in
his room on board his ship. hold to the
theory that Richter was murdered by
thief whom he caught in the act of
rohbing his quarters.
With the idea in view of investigating
and finding out what may be known Of,
the affair DR.. Richter, brother of the
dead young lieutenant, himself in the

fort to find out what may be known of
the tragic and untimely death Of his
late brother
No returns have been received in the
city to comfort the heart broken family
save the letters of the commander of
the Marietta and his wife, who speak
only in the highest terms of the young
man who, it has been believed, met
his tragic death at his own hands. by
hanging, on last Thursday night. Altllo
it appears from the letters to the fam
lily that the belief among the officers of
the ship is that the young man took
his own life, yet the Richter family is
slow to accept such a. verdict and every
effort will be made to find out what
cause the tragic act if the young lieu
tenant actually committed suicide, or
who was responsible for his death if
that phase of the story should develop.
There have been no returns from a
cornor's inquest, consequently the fam
lily is at sea.
DR. Henry Richter arrived from San
francisco, where he was on duty, Sun
day evening and has taken charge Of
affairs. He met the body of his brother
at the station on Monday afternoon and
proceeded to complete arrangements
for the funeral. He is of the belief that
his brother met his death otherwise
than at his own hand and altho he is
not willing to make public statements
relative to his actual belief in the mat
ter, he will go to Washington to see
What may be known of the tragedy that
has plunged his family in the deepest
sorrow. 1t is the belief of the Richter
family that the young lieutenant met
his death at the hands of others, who
were trying to shield themselves from
complaint by him, perhaps in the dis
charge of his duty, and altho the fam
lily will make no public statement tc
this effect it is determined to have an
investigation and a thorough one in
| order that the truth may be known
Neither DR.. Richter nor any of his
family make accusations directly
against any one but they consider that
there is probability that he may have
met death otherwise than at his own
hands.
