EARLY Closing

Several of the merchan 8
were out today with a paper to
get all Of the stores to close at
$50 If there is any valid
reason why the stores shouldn't
close, we have failed TO hear it
Ten hours work a day is suffici-
ent for any man these hot days
and when you ask a merchant
to- stay open half of the night
in order that you may make a
five cent purcha ,e it is an in
justice. 1t is but habit that
we wait until the last minute to
do our shopping and if we but
tried there are none of US but
who could get used to early
closing Close early during
the hot months an give your
self and clerks a little Ct ance
to enj,y life.

THE EXAMINERS SUNDAY LAY
 SERMON ON THE BEST SOCIETY

There is something which many people call society" In almost com munity there is what the public de- nominates the "best society" Some times the people who compose it are called the Headers in society,"" the "hoi aristol," the upper ten," the -four hundred" It is oftentimes an exclusive set, and because it is exclu- sive many people otherwise informed who don't understand what this best society" really is, desire to get into it and become a member of it. They are like flies that are struggling to get into a trap which has been set with a savory smell. Poor, deluded ones! They do not know that the thing they crave is the thing that kills.
 Sometimes this society" is spoken of as being composed of ''the best people," That does not mean that they are righteous, that they are pure and clean, or even outwardly moral in their conduct. The fact is that the best society" may be, and often is, the worst society in the community Tn which it's members reside. The people who compose it may be veal thy, may be thought cultured, may even be members of some fashion able church." but the fact is that the influences of that ''best society" is often baneful to the last degree.
 This best society" is often com posed of the leaders in every extreme, extravagant and vulgar fashion. When dance more obscene than the rest is devised they are the first to wei come and adopt it. If the saloon in vents a new form of evil and intro duces into it indecent, degraded and prostitute women who serve drinks to besotted and degraded men, moving up and down among the tables only half clad, exciting the basest Ipas sions, and by their very bearing in- viting the vilest suggestions and en- agreements for the most immoral pur- poses-I say, if the saloon introduces a thing of this kind and calls it "cabret," then these people who call themselves the "best society" intro duce a cabaret party, and appear in costumes which simulate the costumes of the girls in the real cabaret, and
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1913-11-20

these appearance cannot do other than excite in the men vile passions and, indeed, in some considerable measure at least, the same moral degradation and the same social and physical ruin as the real cabaret. These *besS people" instead of initiating the best things and setting the best example, initiate the worst things and exert the worst influence upon the community at large of any people who reside within it's bounds. The dastardly do- ings on the first floor of the house of shame are not more disgraceful than what these "best people" of the "best society," often pride themselves upon in many of their fashionable public gatherings. And even then, if they were ashamed of their doings, it would not be so bad; but, in their cabaret attire, they have pride and pleasure in posing before the camera to aid in the penny-policy of the editor who is willing to use the pictorial pages of his Sunday issue to debauch the public at large by giving the in- decent exposures of these 'best peo- pie" of the ''best society"
 When you come to analyze the char acter of the "best people" of this "best society," as judged by their entertain ments, their cigarettes and the effects of their champagne, sane and sen sible person cannot but be forced to the conclusion that as for himself his wife and his children, their social and moral wellbeing is greatly advan- ced, and their happiness greatly in creased by contentedly dwelling with out the pale of the ''hoi aristol," the Upper ten," the -four hundred" the best people" of the"best society"
 In the small towns 'the society people" may not be able to frame their entertainments upon the basis of an outlay of from $15,OOO to $2O,O00, spending as much as from $6,000 to $S,000 for plants and cut flowers for use in single evening. Champagne, cigarettes and indecenies may not con- stitute so prominent feature in their entertainments, but too often these people of the best society" are never theless the leaders in the very worst that the public sentiment of the com munity in which they live is willing to tolerate

MERCHANTS VICTIMS
 OF FORGERY ARTISTS
The Clifton Era says:

The Clifton Era says:
 Several of Cliftons merchants were victimized by two artful check artists last Saturday afternoon, the criminals in each instance making a small pur- chase and rendering a check, purport ed to be signed by we'll known cattle men of this section, as payment for the goods, the merchant giving in cash the difference between the amount of the purchase and the amount of the check.
 The total amount of money secured reported to the officers, was about ninety dollars. Detection of the fraud was made Monday, when the mech ants deposited their Saturdays in come with the local banks. Officers were at once notified, and have been devoting their attentions to the cast ever since. They have strong hopes of finally effecting a capture having been given full description of both men. From the appearance of the of lenders, and the fact that names of cattlemen were forged, the opinion is held that the men have resided on the ranches of this section
 The success of the forgers was be cause of the financial standing of the cattlemen whose names were forged to the checks. On the check passed at the White House, one of the vic tins, the name of Richard Boyles was forged. The check was made payable to one Rutledge, the assumed name of the criminal who received the money.
 The check cashed at Kane's Tog gery bore the forged signature of MT Stockton, ranchman of this section The name signed by the forgers was Stevens, who is described as a mar of moderate height, while his confed crate, who claimed tne name of Rut ledge, is of height in excess of the average. The men were seen leaving Clifton on horses early Sunday morn ing, and were at that time headed to ward the north, following along the Frisco, this leading the officers to believe. that they may be found at one of the ranches above Clifton.

The express companies have been insisting, with their most cour- ageous smiles, that they have no been seriously injured by the parcel post, which hoe taken over the trans portation of the small packages, which they say has not been their greatest source of profit. However, there now seems to be plenty of reason to as- sume that the express companies ave not commenced with their troubles.

Postmaster General Burleson rather startled Washington when he announc- ed that the first year of the Parcel Post system will yield a net profit of thirty million dollars.
 For quarter of century the rail- roads and express companies have been successfully making the country believe that the parcel post would be a burden upon the government, and would run the postoffice so far be- hind that the government might go into bankruptcy. However, the most ardent supporters of the parcel post system did not contemplate anything more than half as great as the first year of the system will show.
 The result is going to be that Parcel post rates will be slashed, in order that the public may feel the benefits from the new system without piIing
