1T gives me pleasure to say that
Mrs. Edwinna Bryson Coulter, whom

made an excellent record in our Al
dem Public School as a teacher Of
that time Secretary Of the School
Board. Miss BrysOn followed
young lady who had been exceeding
ly unfortunate in her government and
mad utterly lost control Of the depart
ment, SO much so that she felt her

year she also taught with complete

The following Endorsement is ap-
pearing in the Yuma papers over the
signatures of eighty women OF varl-
Gus interests and the Endorsement OF
Miss Bochinger grows stronger every
day.
We the undersigned voters, hold
ing the moral and intellectual
welfare of our schools to be second
to no interests, not even those of the
home, desire to express our convic-
tions, as follows:
We hold that our schools have
been made the football of politics
and politicians long enough; that
the present catastrophe has been pre-
cipitated by the policy of treating
the office of County superintendent
of Schools as pie counter" that
it is high time the voters reverse
this policy and choose an educator
as head of the schools of Yuma
County.
We believe that G.. Louise BOeh-
ringer is the best fitted of all the
candidates for this position. She
is a graduate of one of America S
foremost universities; she is a teach
er of the best training; she has had
ten years of practical experience as
a superintendent. Yuma County is
to be congratulated on the oppOr-
tunity to secure the services of
so able an educator Beside, she is
a woman of unusual native ability,
of fine personality, strong, broad
minded and kindly. We unhesitat-
ingly indorse her as the candidate
upon whom all voters who desire the
good of our schools should unite as
the way out Of our present turmoil.

The desert Of San Bernardino
county, in area as large as some en-
tire states, refused at the polls last
week to Danish the saloon that has
flOurished for half a century. The
vote is decisive, although it will be
several days before some Of the pre-
cincts will be heard from. 1t is prob
able that the majority for licensed
saloons will go to 800 votes, The vote
was heavy with the exception OF the

where the usual dry majority did

CHAPTER Xxx
Who Shot GrfRRsf

In his Office next morning, Inspec-
tor Burke was fuming over the fall
ure of his conspiracy He had hoped
through this plot to vindicate his au-
thority so sadly fiaunted by Carson
and Mary Turner. Instead of this
much to be desired result from his
scheming, the outcome had been moth
ing less than disastrous. The one
certain fact was that his most va1u-
able ally in his warfare against the
criminals of the city had been done to
death. Some one had murdered Griggs,
the stool pigeon. Where Burke had
meant to serve a man of high infiu-
ence, Edward Glider. by railroading
the bride of the magnate's son to
prison, he had succeeded only in max
ing the trouble of that merchant
prince vastly worse in the ending OF
the affair by arresting the son for the
capital crime of murder. The situa-
tion was. in very truth, intoIerable
More than ever. Burke grew hot with
intent to overcome the woman who
had so persistently outraged his au-
thority by her ingenious devices
against the law. Anyhow the MUIR
der Of Griggs could not go unpun-
ished. The slayer's identity must be
determined, and thereafter the due
penalty OF the law inflicted, whoever
the guilty person might prove to be-
To the discovery of this identity
the inspector was at the present
moment devoting himself by adroit
questioning of Dacey and Chicago
Red, who had been arrested in one of
their accustomed haunts by his men

was the only other person In the
room. and in consequence Burke per-
mitted himself. quite unashamed. to
employ those methods of persuasion
which have risen to a high degree

either. She is only seventeen, and has
