PRAISE
 NECESSARY Mrs. Russell Editor of The
 Earth" In Mesa SPECIAL AUGUST EDITION
Not the Land of Promise But Land of Fulfillment" This Valley the Garden Spot of the World.

Mrs. Marjorie Lambert Russell, ed itor of The Earth" and who has been the means of giving this sec ton more advertising than any other railroad publication representative, was a visitor in this city yesterday for a few minutes, during which time she took luncheon at the Alhambra and gave out an interview in regard to her opinion of the valley in gen. eral.
 In the party, which was given by Frank Alkire were also Miss Phelps and Mrs. Alkire.
 Mrs. Russell has always been rec oSniZed as a true disciple of the Salt River valley, but she comes this season even more enthused than ever if that be possible, but she gave cut the information that she has extended her influence even further than through the greatest railroad adver- Using journal published, and is mak- ing a personal canvass among her friends.
 According to Mrs. Russell, The Earth" for August will be devoted exclusively to the Salt River valley which will mean that at least fifty or sixty pages of matter will be devoted to this section of Arizona.
 For a long time there has been an inclination on the part of south siders generally to contend that there-is. discrimination in the mat ter Of attention paid to this section of the valley in the different publica- tiOns put out by the railroad com panies. The complaint is a just dhe, for it has always been the ten dency to devote a good deal of at tention more approximately to the north side than to the south.
 Mrs. Russell will be in Mesa with in a few days and the Mesa Cham ber of Commerce will be given a chance to boost their community. The Earth" has never been accused of discriminating to any great ex- tent
 Several pages will be devoted to Mesa and it's resources; that is, pro- viding the Mesa Chamber of Com merce feels disposed to be in need of advertising. Mrs. Russell is here for the purpose of disseminating the information, but the information must be furnished to her

THE SELLS-FL0T0 SHOWS
 IN MESA THIS MORNING
A LARGE ORGANIZATlON-PRE.
 CAUTIONS AGAINST BURGLARS.
The Reading of Faces at a Circus
 Performance Most lnterestinq.

The Sells-Floto Shows, which have been heralded for the past three weeks, are in Mesa this morning. coming over from Phoenix, where they showed yesterday, and will go from here to Yuma tomorrow. From Yuma they will continue on to Riv- erside, Redlands and thence on up the coast. The show has been out of Denver for about three weeks, coming into the Salt River valley from the south.
 Incidentally it might be we'll to remark that it is a common thing for a gang of burglars to follow in the wake of every organization of the size of the Sells-Floto shows, and it is only wise and prudent for the citizens of Mesa and vicinity today to lock their houses before leaving The organization showing here today is as free from this class of hu- manity as it is possible to be and detectives and special men are em- ployed, but even then it is impossi- ble to always insure safety.
 Circus life provides an opportun- ity to study human nature that is not offered in any other avenue of earthly existence" says the press agent of the Sells-Floto circus, who was in this city recently.
 An experienced circus man can tell the mean, cross husband, who passes his wife and yells at her when she asks him for money to go to the circus. He can pick the young cou- pies who will be happy in the mat rimonial sphere from those who will seek the divorce court.
 The funny side of human beings crops out extravagantly in the cir GUS crowds at a circus. For exam pie. noticed an individual who was having one big time. His moods offer a large field of study to those interested in faciology. When I first saw him he got near the ele- phant, 'Hetty Green the thief of the herd. She stole his cigarettes, his new straw hat and a box of candy he had in his coat pocket, and ate them. His face took on the look of sorrow and anger. But he caught sight of a French professor manicuring the toenails of the ele- phant, Ward McAllister,' the dude ol lile builCil, anu HIS IdCt CiidnBcu from sorrow to d sly look of Well I'll be hanged,'
 But the climax of his facial eX- pression came when Lon Moore. the worlds premier clown. did his auto mobile, clown band, barber shop, In- dian comic opera stunts and walking over elephants and horses on his fingers. The mans sides shook and he laid over and rolled out of the reserved seats into the hippodrome track, almost bursting with laugh ter"

COMPROMISE REACHED.

The difficulty arising a few days ago between Mori, the Japanese res tauranteur, and G. Fritz Martin, the butcher. has at last been compro- missed by Mori through his attorney paying to Mir Martin the sum of S13.50. It will be seen by this that the fifty cents, which was mentioned the other day as standing between the two and a lawsuit, was at last handed over by Attorney Goodwin. who came here as the mediator be- tween the two.

1Nrox1cArEp LANGUAGE.

The Governor of Alabama in his sibiy in support of the prohibition amendment, but &n reality a defense of his administration took occasion to say of the United States Court, in which the Alabama rate cases are pending:
 "I would as soon try a barroom case before jury of whiskey men. as to have case affecting the rights of the State go before judge who had work ed for fifteen years for a railroad"
 This appeal to prejudice came from the Governor of Alabama. It is worse than intemperance of speech; it is in toxioeeed violence in language. It would ill become a Governor to criti- government. either the judiciary or the legislative. It is infinitely worse to lower the dignity of his office far enough to make such vituperative at tack.
 With such leadership to the wing of the Democratic Party which has heen dominant. in Alabama for the past three years, what else could be expect- ed. but political and governmental recklessness and intemperance' The Governor from start to finish domi- mated the Legislature. It was to be expected that the Legislature would be unfair, reck less and loud. It's charac- ter, it had to take from it's leader. The people of Alabama should review the work of the Legislature. they should consider the spectacle presented by the Governor of Alabama. assailing the courts of his country from the stump and they should no longer wonder at some of the fanatical legislation Of the present Legislature
 The Governor Thanked God" that there was an Appellate Court to write decisions which would sustain the con- tention of the State in the rate cases. The Court of Appeals did nothing of the sort. As Governor of the State. he should have dealt fairly with his hearers. The Court of Appeals sus- tained the decision of the judge who held that the cases were not suits against the State. The Court of App peals sustained the decision of the Judge who held that the Federal Court had jurisdiction in the cases. The Court of Appeals sustained the Fed 4ral judge. who first passed upon the cases In every particular. except as 10 the method of procedure. The Gov

THE NEW PROPHET.

Seems tU us that a woman wear ing the name of Ann oDelia DIss De Rarp might be- engaged in better busi- | ness than that of predicting the end of the world in 1917. which we believe is the time she sets for the winding up of earthly affairs and the beginning of something else, Not that her pro- phecy makes any difference to the world at large, Prophets of her kind have been appearing and disappear tug for centuries. and our old world Is still hanging together and revolving on It's axletree in the same old way. so far as we can judge. True. there have been cataclysms and upheavings of various kinds that disturbed things and caused some people to feel shaky, but as matter of fact the earth is fairly. solid and, weli-behavod yet. 1. It is highly probable. however. that this new prophet of trouble to come will find those who will place cred ence in her forebodings and lose sleep
 
 in consequence of their belief It has always been that way. and always will. we presume. There are lots of gull lible people In the world, and they are ever ready to believe in the strange and unusual. There are people now living who remember the great Miller scare of some seventy years ago, and how thousands of good people were frightened out of their wits oyer his persistent declarations that the world would soon come to an end Miller and his predictions came to an end. but the world didn't Since his time there have been various other false prophets in different parts of the world whose dupes suffered themselves de- ceived by those whom they looked on as inspired and therefore entitled to full credit
 It is somewhat strange that people will suffer themselves led astray by such charlatans, but 1t is a fact just | ttlo SdAlC. ANOhhAiR ID SO SlA dHkCs FldTl- ling or unreasonable that 1t will not obtain credence in some quarters. and no man or woman can start a fad. however wild 1t may appear. and not have followers If Miss DeBarr insists on her "revelation" there will be many who will believe her and make their nreparations accordingly. They are to have but eight years to get ready in. so they may as well begin getting themselves ready. When the time has passed and the world refuses to come to an end they will wonder why they were So gullble-and then take up with the next false prophet. It is a way the world has.

. A PECULIAR CONDITION.

It is stated on what seems to be good authority that there are now sew enty thousand children of school age in the city of New York who cannot attend school. or can only attend half time. because there are not buildings or rooms to accommodate all who should be in school To shut out al least half this number entirely. or to let half of them attend school one half the school day and the remainder attend the other half of the day is the best that can be done. It is stated
 This condition of affairs is not at all creditable to a great city. New York has some of the finest and most costly buildings on the continent. IL has many men and women of great wealth who are noted for their liberal chari- ties. Many millions of dollars are an nuaily paid out for municipal expenses and many other millions are wasted. stolen or misappropriated. In short. New York is a great and rich city In every sense of the word. and spends money accordingly.
 And yet this great and rich metropo. lis of the Western world reports three- score and ten thousand children who cannot attend school because there is no room for them. They have free schools there. and the children could get time to attend them if there was .oom. but there Is none for the lAre number reported by the school officials EGnd others connected with the suh, jret of educatiop.
 This condition of affairs is not at all creditabIe to New Yuri, It Is not 'reeitable. to rich D. ono who pave money far beyond their needs, and 1t is not creditable-to the philanthropists who donate millions to various pur- poses.
 We know that New York is a bad ly congested city. The population far exceeds the means of housing all the people properly. or even safely Land for building purposes is almost un- attainahle. In fact. one of the per pfexing problems of the city Is to find room for all the people who want places to eat and sleep.
 But while aH this is true beyond doubt it does seem that the authori- ties and all interested in educational matters could find some method of making room for the children to at tend school. Many children are from various causes deprived of an educa- tion. but 1t looks hard that they should be thus wronged because there are no places for them to attend school

Jsrnigan. an old newspaPsr PanFt, and if we may judge from the appear ance of this first number he under stands his business. for it is in every way creditable, both editorially and otherwise. One thing we are pleased to observe. and that is that he comes out very decidedly and plainly in op- position to the constitutional amend meut That should be an additional reason for the people of Henry County to help Mir.
