 In another column Of this issue is a letter written by the accredited nedworer in Arizona for the temper movement which is attracting widespread atten- ton throughout the State Arizona, fortunately is brought face face with the problem which has be- national issue Arizona must deal with it at this time It may surprise many who read the letter to The Review that the hedworker, A. R. Bucknam, is impacabe foe of prohobton and valiant cham piou of temperance His position that taken by the wisest minds today.
 If the temperance movement in Arizona, well as elsewhere were better understood there would be no apprehension either among the file of citizens among those legimately identified with the liquor trade Real estate interests will suffer sarly Buildings now occupied by the trade will not be made by of the enforcing of the temperance propaganda. The right of to govern his conduct respect drinking in accordance with sane principles will be assaed. The institution of temperance will insure the enforcement Of laws which now are Haunted; it will seek to eliminate the which is now associated with the dspensauon of aco- holic drinks; it will divorce politics from negitmate participation in traffic and it will eventually accom- plish he muchsoughfor leaving the liquor prob lem to be solved its own merits
