Noble Institute Closes

The annual commencement exercises at Noble institute the diocesan school for girls of the Episcopal church in Alabama, came to a close Friday evening, the chief feature being the address of Judge J. J. Willett. who spoke for a few moments or "Sectionalism in the Better Sense"
 Judge Willett said that there Is in real ity no such thing as a typical American. that every man is nodded by his peculiar environment and that typical Ameri- can is a virtual impossibility. He de- cried narrow provincialism, but praised sectional patriotism and local pride, which he regarded as commendable virtues. His address. while brief was pertinent and impressive and he held the rapt attention of his audience.
 The exercises were opened with the reading of the creed and prayer by the Rev. J. G. Glass, president of the school, which was followed by quartet selection by Hillyer Robinson, Gordon Willox, Ray Lee and Sam Lapsley, who sang again at the close of the exercises. Other musical features were the vocal duet by Misses Juliet Davidson and Luna Draper and a violin solo by Miss Madeleine Pope
 Those in the graduating class who were awarded diplomas were Misses Elizabeth Willett. Melanie Gordon, Elizabeth Mer- edith, Leila Darlington and Alice Wealth. erly. Those securing English certificates were Misses Louise Whatley, Leona and Lillian Treadaway.
 Miss Julia V. Miller won the prize for the best essay, the judge being the Rev. J. H. Blacklock and Prof. w. A. White.

The Maine Election

The returns from the Maine election do not reveal what the country would most like to know concerning it,-the respective strength in that state of the republican and progressive parties, since both were joined in opposition to the democrats who were defeated by the exceedingly small majority of a little more than 5000. In the con gressional contests, the republicans have gained one congressman, in the third district, and have made sure of the election of a United States sena- tor. Doubtless, the democratic defeat would have been greater but for the personal popularity of Governor Plaisted, the head of the ticket
 A state election in September does not always indicate the result of a presidential contest in November but the fact that the democrats were beaten on Monday by so narrow a for the divided republicans and pro- gTessives two months hence.
 But our democratic friends should not magnify their prospects in Maine into prospects of a national victory There may have been a time when ''as Maine goes, so goes the nation and when some measure of the na- tional result could be taken from the republican vote in Vermont
 In that time there were not so many votes in the country and the interests and sentiment were not so varied Tn that time, what a voter thought in Maine or Vermont was likely to be thought by voters in other parts of the country, but probably, not within the last forty years either Maine or Vermont could have been an accurate political barometer.

moralizing and insidious form of bribery. Notwithstanding our zeal in the cause of temperance and sobriety we believe that a single drink of whisky is not of such far-reaching and disastrous consequences as piece of pie And, what should we say of man who would give another a drink of whisky for his vote? o, that men should put thief into their mouths to steal away their digestion. And. again, O that women in their desire for suffrage should ruinously load up the systems of men with pie.
 But. our Arizona women are not Ohio women. They are not going after votes this way. No pie, no drinks and no cigars. They are ap- pealing to the reasoning of men, to their sense of justice. It is not a part of their campaign plans to numb the faculties of voters with things to eat In other words. they are not advanc- ing to political equality over the ruin ed StOmachs of men.

The Primary

If no more interest was taken in other communities than was displayed in Phoenix in the primaries yesterday it was hardly worth while to go to the trouble and expense of holding them. Hardly more than ten per cent of the Phoenix vote was brought out. Though there was no contest within either the republican or the progressive party it was expected that some rivalry would be developed to make a showing of strength. The progressives had some workers out and many automobiles were busy but the republicans left everything to their representatives on the election boards and they devoted themselves only to their official duties It was thought that the dem- ocratic electoral contest would bring out a respectable vote of that party but it did not materialize.
 The apathy of the voters was due in the larger measure to the absence of an contest in which there would be an extensive personal interest. Democrats without this personal inter est did not care who should be their electors and the great majority of them had no personal acquaintance with any of the candidates.
 Still, we think that the primaries should have received better patronage. If we the people are to rule we ought to get out and rule whenever the op- portunity is offered us
 But, taking all things into cOnsid- eration, we did as well as the citizens of many sections of the country did last spring in both the republican and democratic primaries when as inter- esting issues as could be devised were presented. The average vote through out the country was only about fifty per cent of the total vote and the Kansas City congressional district cast only fifteen per cent of the total re- publican vote.

New Office for Police Chief

The idea of making the chief of po- lice the official censor of feminine dress seems to have originated in Cleveland, but there is no reason why the idea should be confined to that city The suggestion originated with an agitated gentleman who says that he has heard numerous complaints to the effect that the tight skirts now in fashion are immodest and an induce ment to immortality. Chief of Police Kohler, according to the Cleveland Leader, is fully qualified to perform the delicate function of dress censor. He knows all there is to know about dress" says the Leader, and adds: He is in fact the best example of sartoriaI perfection that can be found among the men of Cleveland. From the top of his hat to the toe of his boot. he is a model" We do not know that Chief of Police Moore ever made any bid for fame as a fashion plate, but he is a man of intelligence, eX cellent Judgment, tact and discretion. All these qualities would certainly be required of a dress censor. We are confident that Chief Moore could per form the duties of the office as satis- factorily as Chief Kohler or any other American police official.

when it charges me s4 a month for gas for cooking when l can buy good, green, smoke giving wood from local Mexicans for s6 faooortl and it only takes two c6Tdsti to last me q whole month NefqHer will I say a good word for afiy old water system, owned by the city of Plfoenix. which charges me $225 a month for aqua pura enough for drinking, irrigating ard toilet. purposes Why I used to get drinking water for $S.5O a month in Bisbee and only had to pay a dollar a month extra for a toilet and another extra simoleon for water enough to bathe in, while the charge for water to irrigate was only ten cents per square foot per month. , Certainly these Phoenix public utl- ities will retard prosperity.
 There can be no doubt in the mind of any fair minded person that the system of the gas company of mak
 ing newcomer deposit $5 or show that he is entitled to credit retards the growth of our city. Why, look at New York. Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City. San Francisco, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Fl Paso and
 other communities of their class. See what the same pernicious system has done for them.

In the light of developments since the Ohio election of a week ago on the constitutional amendments, it ap- pears that the admission of the fe- male Ohioans to the ballot would not have materially elevated and purified the politics of the Buckeye state.

 They served meals about the polling places, of course, for the purpose of inclining the voters to the suffrage amendment; and, worse than all, they served pie This was the most de-
