The major, notwithstand- ing his attempt be literally truthful in the spirit has sought to deceive his readers It is not in the language but in the impression conveyed by 1t, that sin lies.
 But, speaking of the democratic meeting Douglas, brought to another matter in which another question of veracity is presented There was received in Phoenix early Sunday part of the so-caled Sunday issue of the Los Angeles Ex- aminer which had been mailed Los Angeles at o'clock the Saturday afternoon before Among the intelligence it brought Douglas telegram stating that the democrats at Douglas had rousing and enthusiastic meeting at least six hours after the Examiner edition in the mails and that the progressives at the same time had 2 ''flir-szed audience
 Now, that the correspondent who sent the Examiner this information least twelve hours before the meetings held, honestly be- lieved that he stating what would turn out to be facts That they did not, not his fault.

 We cannot say that the Examiner correspondent lnisrepresented the facts about the crowds at the two meetings He only erred in prediction and anybody is liable to do that. The weather bureau often does it, and the weather bureau has been accused of malicious fasehood

The Study of the Ballot

There should be intense study of the ballot within the present week. It is not only voluminous but is also somewhat complicated The candidates for ,uages 0 the supreme and the superior court and the candidates for the commission, are nom- inally partisan. Their names appear in sepa- lute departments of the ballot without party desg- nation The names of the candidates for judges are impartialy arranged in the lists without any ad- vantage or disadvantage of position except such as the alphabet bestowed upon the candidates at their birth The law requires that the names of the can ddates shall be arranged in alphabetical order But the law failing to prescribe precisely that the of the non partisan candidates for the commits sion shall be so arranged in this orderly and fair manner the supervisors of this county and, we be- lieve, id only other county in the state. turned the alphabet upside down and topsyturvy, that the democrats this partisan ticket have been given an advantage contrary to the spirit of the law
 But we presume that all intelligent voters win inquire why they should vote for this that candi- date and that they will accept the position of
 candidate at the top near the top of any list as csidence of his qualification for office
 In the party tickets which occupy the middle space of the ballot voters will take mark the squares AFTER and not IN FRONT OF the names of the candidates for whom they wish to vot" \ didate is a vote for otheI candidate.
 We hope that voters this week will take as much time as possible from their vacations and avocatons 10 study the constitutional amendments and the initiated and referred bills which have been sub ,nuted to them There eighteen altogether very few of them have been given attention Among these are the prohibition amendment, the first in tie list; the nti-capital punishment bil and some of the measures proposed by the Arizona Federation of Labor The referred bill creating board of par dOns and paroles has been given some study as has also the so-called home rule amendment creating small local option units and limiting elections or prohibition to in eight years.
 It is not likely that all the voters or even many of them can familiarze themselves with all o these measures but they should do as far as possible, for most of them far more vital than the elec- ton of to office

horses. while it was being switched zona Eastern track The door of the
 car was slightly ajar, and something attracting his attention. he attempted to look out to see what was going on. At that moment, the engine shunted the train rather violently and the result was the door slid back, catching Mir Hobarts head between it and the jam.
 Mir Hobart was unconscious when for some hours. It is not yet known how badly the concussion is, nor what the result may be- It will be remembered by horsemen that J. C. Crabtree of Taylorville. H. linOis, the owner of the famous pac- ing brother, and sister, "Edgewood Boy" 2:01, and Lady Maud C." 2:0Ok. was killed at that place on August 2nd, by an accident identical
 with the difference that MT. Crabtree
 was instantly killed. his skull being crushed by the impact. s Crabtree, for a number of years past, had been a familiar figure to
 horsemen throughout the country. It will be remembered that Lady Maud C was one of the special attractions at the Arizona State Fair in 1908. |, When EdgewoOd Boy and Lady Maud c first became famous both
 MT Crabtree and his wife travelled "along the line" with them, and their
 unconventional ways were often a matter of comment. When he first began to develop his horses, he was very poor and often drove from one race meet to the other across the country because he did not have the necessary means to pay freight, but
 later his success was so great, the
 horses becoming so famous that they
 brought fancy sums as special at
 fractions, making MT. Crabtree quite
 wealthy.
 There was a touch of pathos at
 the funeral. The hearse was drawn
 to the cemetery by his beloved pets,
 Lady Maud c and Edgewood Boy,
 probably the two fastest horses that
 ever drew a hearse.

From the earliest times to the time of Mayor Coggins, the saloon business in Phoenix was conducted without re- strictions Many of the saloons had no keys for their doors because they did not need them; they were never locked. Tn saloon singer was supposed to be an essential feature of the business. But within a short time the occupa- ton of the saloon singer was gone and the saloons had hours fixed for the transaction of business. Col. CogginS even then favored the closing of the saloons altogether and then they called him a Puritan again. That was a good many years ago and there are more Puritans now.
 It thus became known that Col. Cog gins was a fighter and the enemies ot good order have that fact impressed upon them ever since. Not a good move has ever been proposed in Phoe- nix that has not had his support. There has never been a moment of doubt of his position on municipal questions. He has sometimes appeared to be uncom- promising but the position he has oc- cupied at such times has invariably been one that has attracted people to it.
 Col. Coggins is the kind of man need ed in the legislature With him there, there will either be less log rolling. less working in the dark or else the people will be informed of what is going on there. The people will have repre- sentative that will never be afraid to do the right thing.

 He has been a resident of Cochise county for more than twenty five years He has never held or sought office but he has always taken a deep interest in good government. He is one of the clean, hardy, old pio- neer type of AriZonians, fearless and honest.

Citizens Of Lucas Boycott Their New
ly Appointed Postmaster.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 21.--Patrons of
Uncle Sans postal service at Lucas,
have started a boycott against the
use Of the office OF the newly ap-
pointed postmaster there. and their
action has given rise to a delicate sit
uatlon which will require some diplo-
macy on the part OF the department
at Washington to bring peace. The
news of the situation was brought
here by John Biehn OF Gregory. who
is in Sioux Falls on other business.
According to his description of the
predicament in which the Lucas APP
pointee finds himself, the controversy
which has involved and divided every
citizen in the town into two factions
arose when the transfer Of the post
office was made from one mercantile
store, where 1t had been for years, to
the other of the two largest stores in
town. The former postmaster was
peevish and soon enlisted all of his
friends In an organized boycott of the
new appointee with the result that
most of the outgoing mail is dropped
in a box at the old location and the
actual postmaster has little left to do
but worry over the lack of c~ancella-
tons showing on his record. The
rural collector stops at both places
Tor the mail. but the beaten path
leads to the old location.

TRADE REVIEW


New York, Dec. 21.-Bradstreet's
review OF trade for the past week
says:
Trade currents run along irregular
lines. On the one hand retail trade
has been helped by two factors, holt
day buying and cold weather, but in
the larger lines the immediate situa-
ton is quiet. rejecting ~preinventory
conditions, plus seasonable slowing
down in usual pursuits. At the same
time optimism as to the future Is
more in evidence, thanks to lower
rates for money. improvement in fl
~nancial markets and the rendering OF
"a decision in the eastern railway
freight rate case.
Incidentally buying OF finished
steel as we'll as of cotton goods for
future delivery has expanded some
what, quotations being sufficiently
attractive to induce business. Bank
clearings for the week aggregate ST..
897,663,000, a decrease of 1913 per
cent from this week last year. Bust
ness failures for the week were i66,
against 37S in the corresponding
week last year.
Wheat exports from the United
States and Canada were 9,707,133
bushels, against 6,964.102 in the
same week last year.

A beautiful design of an old Italian

OF Madison please bring in at once all
they can spare in these lines to the

office. Tomorrow will be a day of
large demands upon their bounty.
Give anything and everything. He
giveth twice who giveth promptly"
The county commissioners were in
special session today and had an in
teTesting time with the coal question.
Some were there wanting coal while
others from the country were on
hand to protest against giving out
coal. claiming it vas going TO unde-
serving parties. The commissioners
have realized for some time that they
were being imposed upon by the care
l%essness of township chairmen in en-
dorsing the applications of Tom, Dick
and Harry for this charity coal and
that many others who were more de-
serving but modest in applying were
not getting 1t, so they r~escinded
their action OF October last this after
noon and have put a stop to the
whole business. So far orders for
200 tons of coal have been received
and orders for as much more are sup
posed to be issued and ready to be
presented when coal is received. 1t
is pitiful that anyone should be re-
duced to the necessity of receiving
aid in this way and the destitute
should be helped; but il is worse to
be deplored that the selishness OF
human nature should so crop out in
able bodied manhood that ii will take
advantage of a charitable movement
of this kind and bring 1t into re-
proach and thus deprive the actually
destitute of needed relief. There
ought to be a poor commissioner APP
pointed whose sole duty would be to
attend TO giving proper relief from
this time until spring.

the line OF amusements. Very few
theaters are open and there has been
only n large circus. Some picture
shows are running. A great many
amusement places have been shut
down. Dancing is a great amusement
for the young people of this country,
but now IL Is not allowed during the
war, and the halls are all closed and
occupied by the wounded soldiers.
Some articles of food are very
scarce. Export and import OF articles
is at a %standstill. Oranges and lem
ons are not to be had. Coffee and
tea there is enough of so far and also
of all native food, and the price has
not been raised very much. The gov
eminent takes interest in everything
and IL works fine. The price Is set
and speculation is not allowed and ii
IL not as bad for the poor people as /
first thought il would be. Every
thing is taken care of in some way.
The city has opened many eating
houses and furnishes meals for a few
cents. My cousin has four sons and
a son-in-law in the army three were
sent TO France and two to Russia. So
far one Is killed one Is wounded, one
is a prisoner in France and the 9th
ers not heard from. While l believe
that Germany will win in the end,
God only knows when this warning
of people will end"

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
Preparing Report to Be Submitted to
the Governor.

Pierre, Dec. 21.-Members of the
committee appointed by the legisla-
ture two years ago to investigate
state departments and institutions
are in Pierre putting the finishing
touches on a formal report to be
filed with the governor. During its
two years of operation this commit
tee has not been very active in its
researches. 1t did formally bring
out and put in official shape for ac-
ton one matter previously known by
all persons informed on political af-
fairs-that a number of former state
treasurers drew large interest earn
iDgs on state funds and kept the
money thus earned. This permanent
investigating committee was devised
merely as a "sidetrack" for the in
vestigating spirit that permeated the
last legislative session, and it fulfill
ed its mission.
