Merely in Jest
A PERJURED PAIR

Hire Sistem, the great furniture king,
having made his pile, had settled down
to the pursuits of a country gentleman.
He invited his friend, Plane Figger, TO
make a stay with him.
One day, armed with the latest ap-
pliances for dealing out sudden death
to anything in the game line, he and
his friend trudged ever the brown fur
rows; but at the end of three hours
they were still looking for something
to start the bag with.
Suddenly a hare 6ot up. Bang! came
from Hire Sistem. Bang! from Plane
Figger and over went the four-footed
one.
my hare" shouted the ex-furniture
king.
MY hare" cried his friend.
They argued for ten minutes as to
whose weapon had worked the mis-
chief. Then the keeper was called on
to adjudicate.
You'd take your oath it's your are,
would you?" he turned to Hire Sistem,
fiercely.
IF necessary, certainly"
"And you'd swear twas your 'are?'
truculently to Plano Figger.
II would"
"Then think yourself jolly lucky
you're escapin' seven years apiece for
perjury, COS it 'appens ter be my dog!"

IS KILLING WARRANTED9

Editor Herald: The article in The
Herald against capital punishment,
signed Quakeress, quotes: "A life Tor
a life" as the law of Moses. 1t may
have been a paraphrase quotation made
by Moses from Gen. 9:6. II the author
of the article referred to will kindly
look into the case critically. 1t VIII pc
found that according to the Bible the
original authority for capltal punlsniss
to Noah Immediately after his release
from the urk. which was, according to
common chronology, about $50 years
nrior to the birth Of Moses and about
500 years prior to the giving of the
law; i. e.. that which we call the law
of Moses. The authority for the legal
execution of a murderer. so far as the
Bible is concerned. has never been su-
perseded by any dispensation. II
stands in the Book as an immutapie
principle of justice. Whether the BOOK
is true or not Is not in question here,
but what the Book teaches on tne
point is the question. OBSERVER

Boosters and Knockers
(Pacihc Outlook)

to Denver or in Denver did more real
good to the city than that series or
articles, for it woke up the people ana
put them to work cleaning house.
Every American city has it's cohort of
habitual boosters, for hot air is cheap
and anybody can brag-but when 1t
comes to the really serious business
of holding a city in line for good gov
ernment, making it a decent place to
bring up a family, keeping the cor
porations from owning it outright-as
many of the alleged boosters would
cheerfully permit-well, that is another
story, and calls for a different form
of citizenship. Fortunately, Los An
geles has from the beginning attracted
and held the kind of people that know
how to build up a real city-people
that have the courage to vote inde-
pendent of parties in local affairs, that
are not afraid to try political expert
ments within reason, that will fear
lessly clean house whenever necessary,
no matter If it does involve knocking,
and who appreciate that when they
start out to brag 1t is a good idea to
have something worth Dragging about.

FOR COUNTY CLERK

n NE of the candidates for office at

with a record for intelligence and eff

national affairs he has been identified
with every movement in the city for
good government of the non-partisan
kind and he deserves well of those
who think as he does that the non-par-

affairs. His opponent, Mr.. Lelande, is
the present city clerk but for some
reason wasn't satisfied with that good

FoR A CLEAN EXPOSITION

Editor Herald 1 take pleasure in
sending you copies of my address at
the conferences held to consider the
desirability of securing, If possible, the
holding of the contemplated Panama
canal exposition of 1915 on the Pacific
coast and in San Francisco.
If all the editors of California who
desire that the licensing of the poison
drink traffic should cease will at once
enter upon the work of educating their
readers regarding the poverty, degra-
dation and crime this traffic OF death
visits upon society, the murderous rum
traffic can be banished from our state
long before the time for holding the
exposition and thus save san Fran,
cisco from the degrading moral, social
and political conditions now obtaining
in that city. Then San Francisco VIII
be an ideal place in which to hold the
greatest international exposition OF ali
time.
Yours for civic righteousness,

HIRAM AND THEODORE

q NCE upon a time there was an
old farmer who was blessed with
" hocks and herds, yet animals
were regularly disappearing from
amongst the lot, and the father was
sorely distressed. His two sons, HI
ram and Theodore. discussed the mat
ter between themselves. Theodore in
sisted that there must be some wild
beast preying upon the fiocks and that
they should go out and hunt and de-
stroy the beast. But Hiram would not
go. He sat down on the sunny SIDE
of the house and watched his younger
brother stride out across the fields and
through the thickets.
At last Hiram looked and saw a
strange beast, with the blood of his
fathers animals yet dripping from his
laws, rush out of the thicket, closely
followed by Theodore. And they, the
beast and Theodore, fought long and
nightly in the open field. And HI
ram stayed near the barn. At length
being both tired, the combatants
ceased to rest awhile. Again the fight
was resumed, and Theodore with re-
doubled strength was attacking the
beast with all his power. At last the
beast began to grow very weak and
could only whine when showered with
the blows of Theodore.
Then Hiram, seeing what had trans
pired from his place of safety, imme-
diately began to cry out with the tull
power of his lusty lungs to his father
mother, sisters and all who might be
passing that way to come and see him
slay the savage beast, and he rushed
out to where the fight was in progress
crying as he went See me kill the
mighty and dangerous beast that has
been menacing our herds. Theodore
is a foolish boy and will let him 60.
1t takes a man like me to slay the
beast, for l know the ways Of the
beast, and 1 have contended with him
in my Imagination these many years.
Then Hiram bent all his energies to
belaboring the exhausted and dying
monster. And when he had pounded
a while he paused and turned to be-
rate his brother accusing him of not
trying to kill the beast, but Theodore
was Conscious of his rectltude and the
value of his service, and only replied
that he had given his now angry
brother full chance to save the herds,
but that he bore him no i'll viii for
sitting in the sun!
This only angered Hiram the more

PHOENIX, TEMPE, MESA.

! Since the close of The Republican cup series of baseball games between the schools of the valley. and from the fact that there remains about two months more Of good ball weather be- fore the beginning of the summer sea son. there is concentrated movement at this place to promote another series of games to be made up of material from the valley towns and to comprise the three towns of Phoenix. Tempe and Mesa W. x. Stevenson. who is not only a player himself but a devottee of the sport Is behind the proposition at this place and is very desirous of get ting into communication with the oth CT teams of the valley.
 MT. SteverSOn'S proposition is that a team from each of the above named towns arrange a schedule of nine games and that each town put up $50 toward the purchase price of a cup and the cup to go to the winner of the series. MT. Rudolph, the manager Of the Phoenix team, has already sub mitted d proposition to MT. Stevenson for game at this place next Sunday. but Sunday baseball is practically out Ol lnt dS lar dS d StIltS is concerned The plan as roughly outlined by AIr. Stevenson is that each town select it's material from the schools or apy other source that il may desire. and play a series of three games in each town. or total of nine games for the three teams. and the winners to take the cup, which would cost SI5O. On account of the lateness of the season it is desired that the ar engagements be completed immediately so that game may be arranged for next Saturday if possible.
 The required $50 has been put up by The Arizona Land company of Mesa and a team has partially been selected which it is believed will fairly represent this town in d contest.
 MT. Stevenson is especially anxious to get into communication with the managers of the teams in the other valley towns and hopes that series of games may be arranged to com mence by next Saturday if possible.
