How To Cut Down The High Cost OF
Living.

We hasten to present a few of
the methods by which the cost
of living can be greatly reduced,
says the literary magazine They
are as follows:
First.-Keep a garden. A man
with a back yard full of turpips
can tell the butcher to go to
thunder any time.
Second.-Walk instead OF using
street car. This saves car fare
and makes you so hungry that
you will enjoy the turnips.
Third. Wear your last years
clothes. This will be saving in
two ways: you will save the
price of new ones and because of
the holes in the old ones you will
stay home from the theatre, thus
making a large saving.
Fourth.-Get up early and
work in your garden. This will
compel you to go to bed early
and reduce the light bill at least
$1.OO per week.
Fifth.-Get a hay cooker. 1t
will cut down your gas bills ST
per month and enable you to eat
old hens at 1 I cents a pound in
stead OF young chickens at 20
cents.
Sixth.-Smoke stogies instead
of cigars. You will soon find that
one stogle costing one and two
thirds cents will last you month
thus saving $500 per year.
Seventh.-Adopt the fresh air fac
and leave your windows open.
After a time you will be able to
get along in only tolerable dis
comfort at a temperature of so
degrees, thus saving much in
coal bills.
Eighth.-Make your own
breakfast food. Buy the hand
soonest colored paper box yon
can find and fill it with oatmeal.
This will save you half the price
of your breakfast food.
Ninth.-Discover that coffee
and tea are highly injurious.
People who discover this fact
save enough in a year to go to
Europe-or would if the steamer
ia tes did not go up every year.
Tenth.-When your vacation
comes put it in exploring the
city and the country in which
you live. You will get better food |
at home for less money and the
railroad fare you save will I
make up the loss caused
by the raise in eggs and butter.

character, in the hands of a
civilian, is superhuity.
The Mail" is trying to stand
for law and order and when we
call attention to a matter of
this kind there is no malice in
tended, but at the best it would
seem that all law abiding citizens
would take the hint and lose
out on the gun habit. There
has not been a case of hold-up
here for some three or four years
in fact if we remember rightly
tie last hold-up was during the
days when gambling was open
and the two ulprits were caught
within twenty four hours, one
being buried at Canyon Diablo
and the other still doing time III
the territorial prison. Under
such conditions it is not conciev
able to the ordinary mind why
people living here should deem a
gun necessary on their person
when they roam around the
streets. Possibly they may think
one is needed about the house.
but the record of the town dur
ing the past ten years would not
even justify that act although,
OF course, man may do as he
pleases in his own home. II
Winslow is to be taken out of
the category bad mans" town
we must put an end to this gun
play business and the citizens of
che town will have to back up
the authorities in their efforts
to discontinue the bad habit OF
carrying smoke poles.

MEAST AND YOUR

MEAST AND YOUR
Ut friends are many; fast
and they cut you dead;
they'll not get mad if you
treat them bad, so long as their
stomachs are fed. Steal if you
get million, for then you can
furnish bail; its the great thief
who gets out on leave, while
the little ones get to Jail, Ad-
vertise and the dollars come
to you; quit and they fail to
come in, for what care the
men who have money to spend
for the men who don't care to

such an individual ever sue

that one should be going

. ONE TIME AGO A


started in Winslow.
After the recent Town Elec-
ton the club has seemed to
have gone into a state of
inocuous desuetude. For what
reason it is impossible for us
to say, nevertheless, the fact
remains, that there has been
very little activity on their
part for some time past.
1t has always been the con-
tention of the Winslow Mail
that a we'll managed CONNER
cial Club should be maintain
ed in Winslow for the general
good of the community. Hand
led on the lines of all other
such organizations, and COM
posed of the business men of
the community such clubs al
ways prove a factor for the
good and betterment of the
town in which they are loca-
ted. However, the club in
Winslow has apparently fallen
from sight, but it would take
but little effort to again stir
the spark of life and make it
one of the best known and
hardest working organizations
in Arizona.
AS an example we will cite
Holbrook. That town, with
something less than half the
population of Winslow, has
recently organized a CONNER
cial Club with a membership
of about As and with this
membership has arranged for
club rooms which would be a
credit to a town Of many times
the population Of Holbrook.
The leading business men of
the town are enrolled in its
membership and they take
pride in being factors for the
development of the commu-
nifty. The club rooms are ar
ranged on quite an elaborate
scale and it may be depend
ed upon that at the regular
meetings of the organization
the good of Holbrook and the
immediate vicinity will be
first and foremost in the minds
of the members.
Should Winslow not be as
active in their efforts of i'm
provement? This town is
recognized as the metropolis
of Northern Arizona and as
the largest town in Northern
Arizona, hence it seems that
we should lead the way in the
matter of progress regardless
of what our neighbors are
doing.

@HE CONSTITUTION
~ of the United States is

its form and scope it set an
entirely new precedent, and
our state constitutions have
been modelled after it. The
definition of the American
constitution is quite different
from that of the constitution
of the older nations. These
older constitutions are crea-
lures of slow growth and
gradual accretiou, while the
American constitution is a
sudden birth, springing with a
single bound from the minds
of a free people. The Ameri-
can constitution has been apt
" defined as "a written in
strument by which the funda-
mental powers of the govern
ment are established, limited,
and defined, and by which
those powers are distributed
among several departments,
for their safe and useful exer-
else for the benefit of the BODY
polite. " The American con-
stitution establishes the form
of government by giving the
outlines or framework of the
proposed government. In ad-
dition to this, many Of our
state constitutions contain
much legislation of a general
nature on such subjects as
schools, taxation, corpora
tions, general declaration of
private rights, ETC., but these
are foreign to the scientific
idea of a constitution, and
they should not be tolerated in
modern constitution. There
is plenty of time to enact COM
prehensive and detailed legis
lation on these subjects after
the government has been es-
tablished by the adoption of a
constitution conforming to the
above definition of a modern
American constitution. The
territories Of Arizona and New
Mexico are about to prepare
new state constitutions for
submission to Congress, and
it is proposed to submit to
them a model constitution and
one that embodies the Initia-
tive and Referendum form of
legislation, and it is suggested
that many of our older states
might profit by abolishing
their present long and verbose
constitutions and adopting
new ones in conformity with
the principles above outlined.
A territory can only be ad-
mltted into the Union by an
act of Congress, and this act
of Congress always requires
that the citizens of the pro-
posed new state shall hold a
constitutional convention and
formulate a constitution for
the new state, and submit the
same to Congress and the
President for approval before
the new state is finally admit
ted; but Congress does not
dictate before hand as to the
kind of a constitution that
shall be adopted. 1t has never
rejected any state constitution,
and probably it never will, SO
long as the proposed cOnstitu-

MILLION DOLLARS
 LEFT ID CONVICT Sing Sing Has An Inmate Who
 Is New a Rich Man SOLE HEIR TO BIG ESTATE Attorney Declares That J, Edward Boeck, Convicted of Jewelry Swim dIe, Is Heir to Property of St.
 Paul Millionaire.
SOLE HEIR TO BIG ESTATE

New York, January 16-(Special. .)-J Edward Boeck, who is serving a sentence of seven years in Sing Sing for jewelry swindle in 1907. is perhaps the only heir to more than $1,0oo,0Oo left by his uncle J. c. Lounsberry of St. Paul, who died there on January 12, amid suualid sur roundings. Lounsberry was thought by his neighbors to be very poor, but when his effects were searched 1t was found that he had securities and bonds repre- senting a fortune
 The first intimation that Boeck was re- lated to Lounsberry was when a mes sage signed Louisa c. Boeck," Boeek's wife, was found among the miser's ef- fects.
 It read: Wont you go security for Eddy? Cash not req tired. only security. If you can't furnish all. will you furnish part? Have hope of winning if this could be arranged"
 The message was dated April IS, 1908, few weeks after Boeck had been brought back from San Francisco, where he was caught year after his swindling operations among New York jewelry firms and art dealers. His bail was fixed at $25000 when he was held for trial. A note from firm of New York lawyers asking aid for Boeck was also found in Lounsberry's effects.
 Boeck posed as friend of royalty, had travelled extensively and was well edu- cated. He was an art connoisseur and jewel expert and numbered among his acquaintances J. P. Morgan, Senator Clark. members of the Guggenheim fami- ly and other wealthy men.
 He had been in China for a number of years and Pu Lun was one of his personal acquaintances. In many in- stances Boeck had acted as special agent for the Chinese government in transactions here.
 He is tall and good looking and through his acquaintance with prominent men he was introduced into society and became the confidential broker for many wealthy men. He both spoke and wrote Chinese and was familiar with Chinese works of art. He had dined with the Chinese Empress. he said, and was able to tell of the magnificence of the art works m the palace in Pekin. Rated as Al, BoeclS secured jewels on memoranda and then disappeared Ludwig Nissen 6 Co. of 1S2 Broadway and Edward w. Drayton, jew eler at No. West Thirty ninth street, were the chief victims. Between them they lost over s50,000. It is known that he had many other victims among jew elry firms and that when he fled he had obtained nearly s25o,0o0 worth of jewels on credit. He went to China, remained there nearly year and then ventured back to San Francisco, where he was captured
 His attorney at the time was Jacob Marx of this city. Tt looks as though Boeck is the sole heir to Lounsberrys millions, said MT. Marx today. 'I am going to Sing Sing to see him next week and apprise him of the death of his uncle if he was not already learned it, While I have no official notice of a will I learn indirectly that Boeck is the only heir to his uncle's estate"
 Boecks wife Is said to be living in Tamaqua, Pa.

 Vaughan in Paris.

Paris, January 1s.-(special) )-Baroness Vaughan, wife of the late King Leopold possesses many letters and documents which, if published. will throw much light on various matters of recent and contemporary history. Among other in- formation she has list of the news papers in all parts of the world which have drawn subventions from the press bureau of the Congo Free State to sup press the truth about atrocities perpe- tratsd there by Belgian officials.
 Fearing that she might be arrested on some trumpsd-up pretext and that her papers would be seized at this oppor- tunity, Baroness Vaughan had them all removed to Franco, when it became evil dent that King Leopold's end was surely approaching. They are now safely under lock and key in Paris safe deposit.

Here was a religious teacher who sought no new fantasies of faith and who discarded none of the vital and TO- bust doctrines of his belief, and yet who never had occasion to lament tho de- cline of faith or the failure of Christian ity to lay hold upon the hearts and lives of mon and women. His was a living ex- ample of the way in which to make tho churches prosperous and Christianity triumphant force in the world; and 1t will remain . livfng and potent example in his death as it was in his iife.''
 Speaking of the Presbyterians, another chapter of an interesting bit of history is bsins made on East Fourteenth street, New York city. What is known as the Fourteenth Street Presbyterian church, the Rev. c. E. Merriam pastor, is to be sold and . consolidation effected with the Thirteenth Street Presbyterian church, of which the Rev. James H. Hoadley is pastor. The Fourteenth Street church has been . familiar landmark for many years. It stands at the corner of Second avenue, where 1t was built in 1851. It's congregation has been dwindling for many years. owing to the entire change in the character of the population sur rounding 1t, and the consolidation h to be effected through the efforts of MT. Mer- riam, the pastor, who believes that his flock will be better cared for in connec- ton with the Sixth Avenue church. of which he will be associate pastor. What makes this transaction particularly inter esting Is the fact that 1t goes to prove how conditions in New York are con- stantly changing. When this church was established in 1851 1t came about through the consolidation of . church on Brain erd street with one on Sixth street. After 10 years another church came into the combination and i've years later still . fifth was absorbed. Thus the present move will be the result of . process of elimination and consolidation involving no less than six different places of wor- ship. Very few cities carry on their reli- gious work in tho matter of tearing down and consolidating their places of worship in such strenuous fashion.
