some DRY PETITIONERS
FOUND TO Be Wet
Make Haste to Explain Po-
sition When List Be-
comes Public

An inspection OF the list of pc
titioners calling upon the Super
visors to hold an election to de-
termine whether or not the sale
of liquor shall be prohibited in
Navajo county has occasioned
much comment this week. In
fact little else is talked about.
The most notable feature of the
list perhaps is the fact that of
the sixty-five signers, ffty-fve
of them are identified as railroad
men.
By one familiar with the tax
roll only twenty-nine, or less than
half, are said to be tax payers.
Of course it is not necessary to be
tax payer to vote at this cleo
tion, but considering that the
action of the petitioners will cost
the county about So, 900, tax pay
ers are indulging in much caustic
critisism of the conditions that
make it possible for non tax pay
ers to impose at will extraordi-
nary expenses upon the county
for the holding of special cleo
tions, particularly when there is
every reason to believe that they
are now and always will be in
hopeless minority in trying to
force prohibition upon an unwil-
ling public.
Quite a few of the petitioners
are clamoring to explain that
their signing the petition is not
to be taken as a criterian of their
sentiments. Some are found to
have signed to please their wives;
some wanted to please the pre-
senter of the petition. Others
thought there had to be an cleo
tion and that they were not COM
mitting themselves to either side
by joining in the call. Altogether
it would seem that a considerable
number Of the signers who acted
under various pretixts or misun-
derstanding of its import will
cast their vote with particular
regard to defeating the prohibi-
tionists with whom they unwit-
tingly allied themselves.
Then there are eothers who's con-
vivial habits are said to be at sad
variance with their present action
and considerable speculation is
indulged in as to whether or not
Winslow would look good to them
should the irrigation privileges be
abolished.
Another feature that causes
wonder is the fact that some of
the petitioners are indignant be-
cause of the petition being made
public. The ordinary presumption
would be that when man signs
a petition calling for an cleo
ton on any question of public
policy he would have the courage
to stand by his convictions but in
the present instance it appears
that some of those who by their.
action have identified themselves
with the dry side were hopeful
that the fact would never be
known to the public. This is an
attitude difficult to understand
but it obtains among a surpris-
ingly large number.
A canvas of the business men
of Winslow this week showed
almost unanimous sentiment in
promising active support to a
movement opposing prohibition.
A few declined to commit them
selves publicly because of busi-
ness considerations but their
vote will be cast for continu-
ance of personal privalege.
In contest of this kind it is
always difficult to forecast results
with anything like accuracy but
after canvas comprising fair
percentage of voters it appears
likely that the vote against pro-

Little Arthur was fairly caught.
There he was, up among the
branches of the pear tree, his peck
cts bullying with luscious fruit, while
below danced a bull terrier, trying
wildly and frantically to reach him.
And, to make matters worse, the
owner of the dog, also Of the tree,
had just arrived upon the scene.
what are you doing up my pear
tree, young fe1er?" asked the farm
er in gruff and angry tones.
Nothing, guv'nor," replied little
Arthur. Please, I'm only t-t-trying

Wnen one OF MS elders wants TO play
with it?
This is very important matter
and should not be treated as foolish
question. Do you respect the prop
erty rights of your children as you
expect your property rights to be re-
spected by your neighbors?
A lot of the traits you think you
dislike in your child might be traced
to your own actions in matters of
this kind. Psychologists in working
out the problems of humanity have
found that many important charac-
teristics of men and women that
important factors in their way of
transacting business and conducting
themselves socially may be found
rooted in the manner in which these
men and women were treated as
children in their homes.
1t has been definitely found that
the child will not have much respect
for the property rights of others
when he has reached manhood if his
own property rights are not respect
ed. Suppose your boy is playing with
his toy blocks or with his railroad
train and neighbor of yours who
likes to do the same thing comes in
to see you and proposes that you
two indulge in the game. There is a
tremendous fascination for grown
people in some of these cl1ildren's
toys. Do you make your boy hand
over his playthings so that you and
your neighbor can amuse yourselves?
If you do you are laying the foun-
dation for very ugly trait in your
boy. You are taking advantage of
the fact that your are larger and
stronger and have authority over him
to take away that which is his-to
appropriate to your own uses some
thing which does not belong to you.

YOUR CHILD'S PROPERTY RIGHTS

nothing else. You are abusing your
authority.
If that sort of thing continues as
it is bound to do-how long do you
suppose your boy is going to refrain
from taking from children who are
weaker than he the things he wants?
When he does a thing of this kind
and, no doubt, he has done so, as
most boys will-what right have you
to punish him for a thing he has seen
you do and which you have indicated
to him is right and proper? And
when he grows into a man what re-
spect is he going to have for the
rights of his neighbors?
Perhaps you have never thought
of the matter in this light. BUTT
would be a good thing if you would.
Science has found that this sort of
thing has happened with great FREE
quency and has determined that a
lot of the evils from which the entire
human race suffer-the cold-blooded
business policies that crush out the.
weak, etc.-are traceable to the
nursery and to the lack of respect
for property rights shown the chill
dren. You might teach the Golden
Rule all you please, but when the
child sees the opposite worked out
in daily life as it applies particularly
to him-he is going to act just as
you acted toward him.

The Washington street market was

l poured all the story out in a breath.
1t was cut into my mind as IL 1t
were still before my eyes, the topping
lurch Of the falling body, the silk hat
rolling into the gutter, and then that
fine, terrible gentleman that had
sprung out after. The moment had
stamped him as clear In my memory
as years could have done. l could tell
how very tall he was. how dark. how
his brows made one black bar across
his forehead. how his yes were set
deeply under them, how his chin was
wide and keen and his left cheek
ficked by a white scar near the mouth.
At the time In my furious excitement
l only knew that I must tell some one
everything or the thing would kill me.
But whether 1t vas fathers strange,

had flung away the pistol, I wished

I was 8 o stunned by what had hap
pened before my eyes that I could not
even formulate In my thoughts what
1t had been. The very impression OF
terror that remained with me was
confused and mixed with wounding
pity. for, though he had looked 90
wild, I could not remember that he
had seemed ferocious or afraid. The
look | remembered had not been fear
of what was going to happen to him,
but horror Of what had been done
and horror at sight Of me.
Voices in the street, sounding un-
wontedly loud and excited, reached
me. People we're hurrying past the

Of those who ten years ago died from
diseases which were then said to be
incurable, but when the disease is in
it's final stages there is no power on
earth that can save g patient. That is
why the German-American doctors
conduct their institute along the fair
lines they have adopted. Sufferers
from chronic diseases are charger
nothing for the first visit. If their
cases can be cured they are so told, IL
not they are not accepted.
It seems to be a bold statement to
say that the German doctors have been
able to cure persons suffering with
early Bright's disease, consumption,
rheumatism, catarrh and stomach
troubles, but the science of medicine
has advanced the same as all other
lines Of human endeavor. Three years
ago few believed the airship a posi-
bility; today If there was war; by its
use entire naval fleets would be de
stroyed. There IS Il time when disease
gets beyond human aid, but it costs
nothing to 90 to the German Ameri-
can Medical Institute and learn from
the chief specialist what can be done
for him.
The success Of these specialists is
not without cause. When they opened
