Attacks Law on Segregation.

For the reason that the plaintiff had not properly attacked the validity of the segregation law passed by the last legislature, Judge Edward Kent, on the petition filed for A. A. Gibson of Tempe by Attorney c. F. Ains- worth to compel the Tempe super visors to divide the Tempe precinct into two voting districts for the com ing local option election, ruled ad- versely last week.
 After District Attorney Bullard and Ainsworth had argued the legal phase of the question, quoting liberal ly from the decisions of other states, and Judge Kent had dismissed the petition for a writ of mandate Ainsworth was given one week in which to file new application.
 Ainsworth took the position that the statutes compel the board of su- pervisors to divide all territory into precincts inside and outside of incor- porated cities into two districts and that they vote separately on the ques- tion on local option.
 Ia reply Bullard took the position that the precincts were created by law and that the supervisors did not have the power which belongs to the to correct conflicts in the laws. He pointed out where segre- gation would result in many complica- tions.
 Ainsworth must now come into court claiming that the law itself provides for segregation and while the law on its face may appear to provide for segregation it's failure to tell how it is done is believed to be a serious defect.
 In the second application for writ it is probable that the validity of the whole law will become question for the court to decide.

Educating Nurses----free Scholarships
 Available.

{
 Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
 Love, has an exhibition of practical benevoleuce in the work of the Phila.
 delphia School for Nurses which is of
 surpassing interest to every one in-
 terested in the care of the sick, the
 education of nurses and the promo
 tion of public health and sanitation.
 The annual report showed that dur
 ing the past year, ten thousand, two
 hundred and seventy-fve patients
 were supplied with nurses, who other
 wise could not have secured skilled nursing care. Four-fifths of this service was rendered gratuitously. It was shown also that in teaching facilities, available workers and num- Der of students, the School ranks as the largest school for nurses in the world.
 Clarta Barton, Che world renowned nurse and manager of field hospital work, and organizer of the Red Cross Society, having for many years ob- served the efficient work of the Phila- delphia School for Nurses. recently invited Dr. Eugene Underhill, founder of the institution, to visit her. and be present at a conference in her summer home in Oxford, Mass, for the pur- pose of considering the advisabihty of reproducing the work in the larger New England cities.
 At public reception representa- lives from Lowell, Salem, Worcester, Springfield, Bridgeport, New Haven, Providence and other manufacturing centers called attention to the need of this service for their respective cities.
 Several large classes of students are about to be enrolled in the Phila- delphia School for Nurses, who will, doubtless. witness the extension of the work of the institution in ac- cordance with plans now developing IS a result of the recent.

Williams After Rcd Lieht Districts.

"A municipality which collects licenses from disorderly houees oper- ating in the so-called red light dist ricts of the towns where such places are tolerated, is on the wrong track
 With this assertion, District At torney Williams of Cochise county, outlined his plans for ridding such places as Blsbee, Douglas, Wilcox and any town where houses of prosti- tuition exist and where licenses are paid by their proprietors into the coffers of the cities by houses of that character.
 In an interview with the Review correspondent he stated that next month he would begin proceedings against the various municipalities, and if any of these cases should be unsuccessful he would Immediately start proceedings against the police officers for allowing the brothels to do business.
 "Collecting fines from these houses in court and then letting them pro- ceed along their beaten paths again is just as bad, and those who take their money are little better than the men who live off their earnings" " said Williams.
 This means war to the death be- tween the district attorneys office and the "red-light" districts, and promises to last until either one or the other is driven out of business fguratively speaking. Should the actions against the cities prove futile then must the heads of the police de- partments be brought into court to answer to charges similar to those placed against the male habitues of disorderly places.-Review.

Floods are Increasing.

A broad and comprehensive review
 of iver-discharge records in the
 United States indicates unmistakably
 that floods are increasing. This
 tendency is discussed in a paper by
 M. O. Leighton, who shows that the question Are floods increasing?'' means, essentially, Are the condi- tions of the surface in the river basins so changing that they render the ground less absorbent?" The one great change that has been produced in surface conditions is the reduction of forest area. The lessened absorp- tion brought about by this change causes not only a decrease in precipi- tation because of the decrease in evaporation but also an increase in run-off of the rain that does fall, thus increasing the flood tendency. The paper is accompanied by diagrams showing flood records of several i'm portant rivers for periods of thirteen to thirty-four years. Suggestions as to the storage of flood waters are made, and Mir. Leighton concludes that the streams draining about one third of the area of the country must forever be subject to floods, but that for the remaining two-thirds of the area about 55 to 60 per cent of the flood waters can be saved by the utilization of maximum storage The cost of such construc- tiOn would be enormous, but the say ing in the relief from flood damages would soon return the entire invest ment.

MulfOrd RinSOr Must go Succeeded by
 Miss Hall.

The Phoenix Republican says: Mis-.
 Sharlot Hall of Yavapai county was
 appointed by Governor Sloan last
 week to be territorial historian.
 Whether Mulford Winsor, the incum-
 bent, resigned, or was removed, could
 not be learned from anybody having
 authority to speak on the matter, but
 one of MT. Winsor's friends stated
 that he understood that MT. Winsor [ had declined to accede to a sugges-
 tion that he resign, and that he pro-
 bably was removed-the governors $
 power being absolute in the matter The office of territorial historian : was created by the late legislature, [ and a salary of s2,400 a year, with
 travelling expenses, etc, was pro
 vided. MT. Winsor has for years
 been a leader in the democratic poli-
 tics of the territory, and when he was appointed to the office of his
 torian by Governor Kibbey some sur
 prise was expressed by people who did not know the circumstances at
 taching to the appointment, it hav- ing been assumed that the governor
 would appoint republican. It de-
 veloped, however, that the legisla ture and the governor lad been in accord on the proposition that there should be historian for the period of two years, in order that the great mass of historical material yet available might be used before it disappeared through the death of pioneers. It also developed that the legislature, which was notoriously partisan, had caused it to be made known to the governor that the office would not be created unless democrat-Mr. Win sor, in fact-could be appointed Governor Kibbey liked MT. Winsor personally, and had confidence in his ability to do good job; and as the considerations fo impair the public service, or stand in the way of needed | legislation. he had assented to the | legislative holdup.
 Shortly thereafter, his term hav- ing expired, Governor Kibbey was succeeded by Governor Sloan. Curi- osity at once became manifest over the territory as to how Governor Sloan would deal with the office of It was everywhere con- ceded that he was under no obliga- tion, moral or political, to retain Mir Winsor in office thl ough the statu- tory term, as he had not in any way been a party to the arrangement MT. Winsor received the appointment. It was known, also, that he had a strong admiration for Miss Halls talents; it was known, moreover, that Miss Hall had been gathering historical material tor some years, with the pur- pose of writing history of Arizona, md tbere were many predictions that 'he would succeed to the office of his- ,orian.
 There is not likely to be any seri- ,us criticism of Governor Sloan for making a new appointment. No dis credit of MT. Winsor can be inferred. As was said by friend of both the governor and MT. Winsor: "Terri- .orial government is so entirely per ional, central authority being lodged with the governor, that nobody can . ustly find fault with him for making ( uCh changes from time to time in : he personnel of his administration as will best accord with his own views of ; he best method of serving the pub ic."

Supt. II. W. Lewis examined 10 pupils

Braintree, seeking admission to the RAN
dolph high school at the opening Of the
fall term. Seven from this town and
three from Braintree passed the examine
tion-about . third of the whole number

have been due principally to the extreme
youth Of the applicants, most OF whom
were only Is, while some were q year
younger. Fourteen is the average age OF
the high school freshman and another
year in the grades will do the disappoint-
ed youngsters no harm. A second
chance, however, viii be given them later
in the summer, when q hnal examination
is to be held by Superintendent Lewis.

gentlemen of leisure who frequent post

Postmaster J. B. Eldredge, who has

awnings to afford them shade from the
suns rays, which, at times, are so un-
comfortably hot that the frequenters are
driven over into the cool retreat afforded
by the Tewksbury store building oppos-
lite. SO popular has this latter resort
been during the sunny afternoons that
Tewksbury & Raymond have hung out

A New Society Formed.

0NStS~l NffHNNf
In response to a call for some action to
protect dumb and helpless animals from
careless and wanton cruelty, seventeen
business and professional men met in DR..
A. G. Bailey's office Monday evening and
formed local branch OF the State Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
j. Q. Sherburne, Esq, was chosen pres
ident; Rev. Fraser Metzger, secretary;
DR.. F. G. Angel, treasurer; and ID. d.
Howe, agent for the prosecution Of cases.
The officers were appointed q committee
to draw up constitution and bylaws,
which will be acted upon at another
meeting to be called soon. The members
are to be assessed small sum each to
provide a working capital and the society
will apply to the secretary of state for q
charter to make its organization more
effective.
That there is urgent need OF such a So
ciety in this place no one not hopelessly
blind can doubt for minute. Instances
OF outrageous cruelty are often indig-
nantly cited, but few people-hardly any
in fact-have the moral courage to take
upon themselves the odium OF entering a
complaint against a man who has left his
horse hitcbed in the square in driving
oAOttn OF uitAcT winner udFs uuenetleFeOs
unblsnketed and united for an uncon-
scionable time; or who is known merci-
lessly to i'll treat his animals at any and
all seasons. Not one person in hun
/ dred will venture to demonstrate when a
load OF coal plenty big enough for two
horses is being dragged painfully up the
South Main or the South Pleasant street
hill by single sorry steed, straining and
7 xrssth ~ -
strength, while husky loafer, weighing
q couple Of hundred pounds, sits on top
of the load and exerts himself enough to
yell ''Gid-ap'' whenever the poor beast
stops to breathe.
Some tender-hearted woman is moved
to tears occasionally at the sight OF q
! wretched animal being frightfully dashed
4 by another brute dignified with the name
of man because he naturally stands and
/ walks on his hind legs; but IL seldom oc-
ours to her to do anything except to clap
| her hands over her ears to shut out the
sound OF the whip or perhaps to have 6
nervous headache over the AFFAIR. They
ell think. however, somebody ought tc
do something and they once in q while
write the full particulars Of some afro.

with a request that the guilty party bs
| held up in print to the scorn and con.
tempt Of all decent citizens; but the let
! ter, il it is signed at all, inevitably con
cludes with the command" Don't you
dare to use my name in connection with
this thing or Let anybody know the sourcs
of your information"
Now complaints can be made to the
agent of the new society and, II the com
planning party has sufficient courage tC
sign bis statement, the matter will be in
vestigated and the offender brought tc
proper punishment. May the good work
go on until in Randolph those without
the virtue OF mercy have learned to &C
quire a respectable quantity, and DO ami
mails can be found staggering undel
heavy loads long after their poor old
bones, in the form OF phosphate, should
have been inspiring vegetation.
