MUST HAVE ELECION
 OR STATE WILL LOSE

If Arizona is to vote for presi- dent next November the present legislature must enact an election law, says the Phoenix Democrat.
 Attorneys who have looked into the question, at the instigation of the Democrat, declare that unless law is passed to carry out the provisions of the constitution, pres idential electors, the congressional representative and legislators can not be chosen in November. Un- der the peculiar provisions of the constitution, the state will not be able to cast ballot for president, and for two years will be without a representative in the lower house of congress or legislature.
 The state officers chosen last fall will hold over "until their success OTIS are elected and qualified. The constitution says that the first state legislature shall hold office till the first day of January 1913, and does not provide that the mem- bers hold over in the event suc- cessors are not chosen. Under the United States law the term of Con- gressman Hayden expires on that date.
 As the territorial law did not contemplate the election of presi- dential electors, no special election to choose such officials can be held. When Arizona was a territory pres idential electors did not exist and there was a delegate in congress, not representative.
 The constitution provides for the choosing of electors and congress man, but it is not self-acting. A special election law must be passed by the legislature to carry the pro visions of the constitution into eff feet.
 There has long been a conflict of opinion regarding whether state officers can be elected next fall. The constitution says that cleo tions shall be held in each "even numbered year" after Arizona's ad- mittance to the union. At the time the constitution was drawn, it was supposed Arizona would en- ter the union in 1911 and that 1912 would be the first even num- bered year. But statehood was de- layed and President Taft did not sign the proclamation until Febru- ary, 1912. Therefore, 1914 is the next even numbered year.
 No matter whether an election is held in November the state officials will hold until their successors are "elected and qualified" But there will be no legislature, there will be no presidential electors and there will be no congressman after the first of January, 1913.
 No one seems to have discovered that if presidential electors, a new legislature and representative in congress are chosen next Novem- Der, it must be at an election held under a law that does not now ex. ist.

EAT CHOCOLATE WITH FRUIT
Ideal Food Combination According to
Writer Who Claims to Know
Whereof He Speaks.

Some silly things have recently
been said about chocolate, which have
attempted with some air of authority
to discount it's value as an article of
food, says the Lancet Practical ex-
perience OF course long ago decided
in favor of the view that chocolate is
a good sustaining food, and this find
ing is not surprising, having regard to
the food substances which well-made
chocolate contains
Chocolate has been employed for
its staying powers and its nutritive
properties with considerable success
in army maneuvers.
Chocolate can only do harm, in CON-
mon with all good foods, when eaten
to excess. Chocolate contains from
q to about 60 per cent of sugar.
from 20 to As per cent of fat, from
to II per cent Of heterogeneous matter,
from to per cent of mineral mat
ter, and about 0.75 per cent of theo-
bromine. 1t is therefore sweetmeat,
food and stilnulant
Thus far the Lancet Now comes
DR.. J. Sim Wallace, an eminent Lon
don dentist, with letter asserting
that chocolate does vast amount OF
harm, especially to the teeth, by being
eaten between meals and before going
to bed. He says it should be eater
toward the end of meal and should
always be followed by fresh fruit.

Reusseau's Etiquette Of Love.
Before Rousseau, love was highly
refined form of social intercourse, a
,pecies of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities OF
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, In speech, or in
acton, was banished. But when Saint
Prsux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Mcilliere
to pour forth in solitude the food OF
his sentimental tears, all the witty re-
1inements Of eighteenth century gal.
lantry. for good or for evil, were final
ly swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was
Rousseau who enabled Mirabeau. In
his first letter to Julie Danvers (whom
he had never SEEM, to declare, Il, also

Pigeon Brought Luck.

It is one Of the pet beliefs OF the
fishing fleet folk that when a white
bird flies aboard ship at sea good
luck is bound to follow. And If a
white bird happens to fly aboard a
brand-new craft 1t insures the vessel
with all kinds of joy forever. Out on
Georges, recently, little pigeon 1ut-
tered down on the deck of the good
ship Mary, perching on the wheel box.
Result, good luck. Although Captain
Whalen's boat struck mighty hard
weather it came through without a
scratch and landed 10000 pounds of
fish, mostly hake and cusk, which is
pretty nearly the record catch for a
maiden trip. The pigeon looked as if
1t had had some pretty hard luck itself
before it fell in with the Mary, how
ever. One of its wings was badly
torn, as if gull or hawk had taken
a piece out of 1t. The men aboard
took good care Of the pigeon, giving
it plenty of food, although they made
no attempt to confine II to any one
part of the vessel. The bird made
friends with every one. especially the
cook, and refused to eat except out OF
the mems hands. AS the Mary came
up the harbor the bird was adeck
