DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPERS FOR
OPEN CAUCUS

Some interest has been created in
political circles by an editorial stand
for an open caucus Of both political
parties in the coming Legislature
taken by the Delaware State news,
Democratic paper of Dover that Is
supporting former Senator Richard X.
Kenney for United States Senator.
and also by the Dover Index, a Demo
cratic paper The State News IN part
says:

as a secret hidng-place for the tricky
politician.
The trickster's FIRST move is TO get
] himself appointed teller, with an
other ambidcxterous politician Of the
same uncomfortable parts. The rest
is easy. particularly if the race IS
close. The trick tellers count the
thing their way and then eat up the
ballots
Then the trickster, although his
people may have decided views on the
Seuatorship. the Speaker and SER
geant-at-arms. may promise all can
didates and. although voting for an
other. may take credit for any cleo

Kansas. The eternal feminine
is more eternal than ever, and
now comes woman animal train
ers, who are fast crowding the
masculine sex for honors which
they once held exclusively.
One of the most famous ami

Gated Royal Bengal Tigers with

only woman who has ever sue
cessfully trained these beasts,
which are the most bloodthirsty
and ferocious of of all denizens
of the forests and jungles.
One of the most essential fea-
lures in the training of wild ami
mails is patience. This is one
characteristic in which the gen.
tie sex excels. Allied with pa
tience, must be good judg-
ment. and one who has patience,
generally has good judgment.
Trainers, whose hasty temper, or
a sudden loss of patience, the
trainers says, or does some fool
ish thing, which spells his de-
feat as a conqueror of animals.
There is a thrill and fascina-
ton in the training of wild ami
mails which one is never success
fully able to throw off when onco
experienced. All wild animal
trainers deep down in tn ell
hearts know that they will event
ually meet their death from the
beasts which they seek to con-
quer. However, they appar-

rally reduce the cost of this win
ter's fuel to the people of North
ern Arizona.
AS a result of efforts put forth
by the Arizona Corporation Com
mission, the Santa Fe railroad
has put these reduced rates into
effect. but not satisfied that the
reductions are as low as they
should be made, the Commission
has already forwarded to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
a complaint asking for still lower
rates on coal.
Industrial plants and consum-
ers in general throughout North
ern Arizona will be saved several
thousand dollars on this years
coal shipments.
Recently the Corporation Com
mission began to study the coal
rate situation from Gallup to
Arizona points deciding that the
railroads should make material
reductions for the benefit of con-
sumers. When the matter was
presented to the freight depart
merits of the Santa Fe road, they
consented to make important
changes. However, before the
matter is disposed of by the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
it is probable that there will be
still further reductions as a re-
suit of evidence which will be
introduced on behalf of the Ari-
iona consumers.

Jubilee Singers Score Great Success,

The forever favorites. the Will
Jams Jubilee Singers, scored an eX-
cepjional success Wednesday evening
at the Congregational church as the
first number of short course pro-
vided by the Young Peoples Social
club of the Y. NJ. C. A.
The Williams octette of colored vo-
calists is always ranked high among
the entertaining parties in platform
work in this country. This year,
however, they fairly eclipsed them
selves in their new program. There
are three old favorites which are ha-
bitually made part of the Williams
programs: Crabbe's bass solo. Rock
ed in the Cradle of the Deep
Green's soprano hit, Maggie" and
the calliope number by the quartette.
With these We're number of unus-
ually good jubilee numbers, classic
selections as well as more popular
numbers of high order of musical
quality. Hackley and Johnson sang
the Miserere duet from II Trovatore
with good effect. the remainder Of
the company furnishing strong
choral accompaniment.
Green's laughing song showed
her voice to good advantage, while
Johnsons sweet tenor in solos and
obligatos was delight and a charm.
Crabbe is one of the leading bassos
of the nation, in the opinion of many
teachers, and he seemed in particu-
larly good voice Wednesday night
The excellent program closed with
an elaborate sacred selection. Sane
tus.''
A large audience attended the con-
cert and were enthusiastic over the
high standard of music furnished by
the singers.
