SCHOOLS START HE
 CHRISTMAS SEASON
interesting Programs in the Several City Schools
 Which Does Credit.

Christmas was appropriately observ- cd in all the schools of the city yes terday afternoon, many of the classes having formal programs consisting of Fecltations and songs. A majority of the teachers had a simple program in connection with the regular class work and had Christmas trees and gave presents away to the little tots.
 An ambitious effort and an artistic one was that Of Mrs Moore. who con ducts the Kindergarten in the Cen tral school. The room was beautifully decorated in festoons Of chained col .ored paper and cut out pictures made by the pupils themselves. The tree was Ornamented with chains, popcorn. cut out pictures and contained bas- kets Of fruit and candy, all furnished by the pupils
 The other teachers in the school all mad their trees and exercises. some having real Santa Claus The High School grade will have their exercises next Monday evening when the Girls Glee club will give a concert and the. atrical entertainment.
 In the Lowell and Warren school5, the Christmas spirit was observed al. so The Lowell school had special ex. ercises for the first and second grade pupils and presents of candy. nuts and toys were given to them. Here the day vas observed in making presents to be later given to the parents of the pupils.
 The schools closed last night for a ten days recess and sill not open again until December 50.

Public Debate of Question Brought About in Phoenix Church. Governor Takes Humane View.

Trinity church in Pnoenix was the scene one evening this week of a public discussion of capital punih, ment as means os preventing crime and protecting criminals. A humber of prominent men participat. ed in the debate among them Gov George ". P Hunt.
 The governor. according to the t'azeite.s attacked capital punishment from humane standpoint
 The governor took up the various methods ot inflicting the death pen aiiy. and declared that they were all brutal

When it was nroposed 10 abolish hanging for stealing the ad- vocates Of the reform were rebuked. The people demanded revenge. The present fight Is meeting with the sanIe kind of opposition"
 Governor Hunt referred 10 several states and countries that have shol. ished capital punishment only one, Colorado has ever re-enacted it into law.

 Society should be protected. but Is not society in some way responsi. ble for each murder7" asked the gov ernor. We are trying to reach a higher plane of civilization. One great question Is the protection of society against those Nho wish 10 rob society. Society looks askance at her hired prtectors as well as at criminals.

 Judge Kibbey took the stand tha. the commandment.

In the west. when there was no organized law. no ones life was safe. When the vigilsntes of San Francisco were organized and summary punishment was meted out. promiscuous killings ceased almost immediately. In that case the infliction of punishment clearly deterred crime Illegal exc cutions also deterred crime in Phoe- nix in the early days.
 It was unfortunate tat those eX- cautions were without due process of. law. yet it was better that they should have been illegal than that they should not have taken place at all, " said Judge Kibbey.

SENATOR DAVIS WOULD
 HAVE SESSION FREE
Thinks Restriction or Limi- tation by the Governor
 Would Be Unwise Act.

Senator Davis, of Maricopa County, prospective candidate for governor. de clsres opposition to a proposition For the governor 10 limit the coming ses- sion of the legislature to making ne. oessary appro- riations and few other important and pressing matters. Senator Davis is thus quoted in the Arizona Democrat A
 It is known that sevxfal influential elements in Arizona are hoping that the governors call for the coming session of the legislature will be quite restrictive in nature. To this end they trust that it will be so ar ranged that the code commission re- port will not be held over for another session, perhaps next winter In my opinion such advice if followed would be very subversive 10 the best inter. ests of the state.
 There is an urgent necessity for the revised code and the commission Is almost ready to report. There is an urgent necessity for various meas ures in general legislation The peo. pie have right to expect every ser vice from the legislature that the in terests of the state demand. They will resent any effort 10 force the leg islature to piecemeal legislation which would ultimately bring still another session of this legislature.
 Another thing, During the recent campaign the legislature was on trial beefor the people. It's every act. against which the referendum was Invoked was strongly upheld.

TRACE JcNN DIS LOST LAKE
Body of Water Un intentionally Kid naped From Rookefellers Estate
 by City of New York.

The mystery surrounding the sud- den disappearance of a lake on John D. Rockefellcr's estate at Pocantico Hills one night last week has been solved. It was kidnapped by New York city, but not intentionally. The Croton acqueduct runs through Mr. Rockefeller's estate, about 300 feet underground. It is believed a crevice opened ard the water fror the lake flowed down into the aQuc- duet.
 A similar thing happened about 20 years ago, when another owner lived on Kyk Lit Hill. No com plaint has been received in New York of an oily taste in the city water. Mir. Rockefeller believes he has supplied the city with several hundred thousand gallons of water. and the feeder for the lake is still supplying the water which disap- pears down the creyice.
 Mir. Rockefeller is in quandary as to what to do. He may put a solid concrete foundation under the lake. It is believed this is the only way in which he can keep it from running away again, now that it has the habit.

MAKE POULTRY PAY

Poultry is more neglected, perhaps, than any other division of live stock industry, yet there are those who make fowls pay handsome profits. Poultry re- quires intelligent care and those who expect theiE fowls to pay without attention will be disap- pointed.
 Poultry fanciers know the re. quirements of profitable poultry raising and do not hesitate to in- vest in the best birds that can be had and adequate poultry supplies. The farmer who keeps only few birds would do we'll to follow the fancier's example and invest,in good stock and care for it properly.
 Farmers have many advan- tages for profitable poultry raising. They have plenty of space, land for green food and grain crops, which should insure profitable fowls.
 The Farm and Ranch believes that farmers should secure bet ter profits from the fowls and in order that some of the essen tials of profitable poultry rais- ing may be placed before our readers at the beginning of the year, we will make Farm and Ranch of January 13 a feature issue dealing with poultry Farm and Ranch.
