We observe with some concern that our neighbor. the Arizona Dem ocrat, is taking the constitutional convention so seriously that Col. John Dunbar. the directing spirit of that paper. has resorted to printed prayer and it must be said in justice to the colonel that he seems to have taken his coat off for the job But, inasmuch as the achievement of statehood by this convention is about as probable as the nesting of the great aux in the capitors dome, we have to suggest our fear that the coloners prayerful influence is misdi rected. We don't really believe that prayers with reference to this con vention should be addressed to heaven.

NEW YORK, July 28.-"Back

warning sounded by Jas. ]. Hill

just published by Doubleday, Page

Hill says the United States must
radically change its ideal of being

rapid destruction of natural re-
sources which can never be re-
stored to the earth will force this
change.
within 20 years, perhaps, we

"By the middle of the present

revolutionize the common lot and

Uncle Sam Keeping Strict Eye On
Dainty Geisha Photograph Bride.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jly 2S.-
Nine dainty Geisha girls were
among the passengers on board
the big Japanese liner, Chiyo
Maru, when she locked at this
port recently. Awaiting the maids
at the pier were nine japanese
from nine different parts of the
state, representing as many walks
of life in the mercantile world.
Each of the nine Japanese as he
peered anxiously in the face of
the steerage passengers as they
passed in single file down the
gang plank held photograph in
his hand with which he made care
full comparison with each of the
passing throng. AS he met the
counterpart of the picture among
the hurrying throng there was an
exchange of greetings; man and
maid stepped out of the crowd
into a waiting automobile, whis-
pered orders were given and the
couple were whisked rapidly away.

nine men who met them at the
pier were those with whom they
