SIR HERBERT TREE, e1 s7 TOMORROW, DEPENDS
 PATRIOTISM OF ACTORS.

Although himself too old to go to birthday to-morrow-Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. the acknowledged leader of the dramatic profession in Great Britain, is indignant at publish ed reflections on the courage and pa trtoHsm of actors. To a greater ex- tent than the members of any other profession, Sir Herbert, declares, the actors have responded to the appeal of "Your King and your country need you" Sir Herbert is responsible for the assertion that no, less than 362 British actors have enlisted in the ar my, and this list is by no means com p1ete. One of the most distinguished of the dramatic contingent, Robert Lorraine. who joined the Royal Flying Corps, was recently wounded.
 Herbert Beerbohm is the real name of the eminent actor, and he was born in London Dec. IT, 1858. He adopted Beerbohm Tree as his stage name, and became Sir Herbert in 1909, when he was knighted in recognition of his distinguished services to dramatic art. Schepfeuthal College, and 1t was not until he was twenty-four that he be- gan to think seriously of the stage. In 1878 he made his first stage ap- pearance at the town hall in Folk stone Five years passed before he scored his first real success as Rev. Robert Spa1dtng in 'eThe Private Sec retary." His creation of the principal roles in Called Bacl,'' and '.Ji11- the Penman" made him an international figure. Since the death of Sir Henry Irving in 1905, MT. Tree has been recognized as the greatest and most representative of English actors.

Better Roads for All Arizona

Reports from the various coun- ties of Arizona show that the next year will see much work done to improve the roads of the state. This is being done almost entirely by the counties themselves, the state helping out only in the con- struction of large bridges and such like difficult and expensive under takings This is in accordance with the will of the voters as expressed at the last election that each coun- ty build its own roads.
 This is not only a safe way oi investing in roads, but It is an ef- ficient way as well.
 All of the counties of the state are active in road work and it will not be long until Arizona, in spite of relatively sparce population will be well equipped with roads.

Economic Conditions and
 Prohibition

Washington is one of the states transferred ny the recent election from the "wet" to the "dry" list, and the following editorial from one of the states leading newspapers, the Spokesman-Review, of fSpokane, is of interest, in so-fer as the com parison made may extend to Ari- zona:
 Kansas and Oklahoma are rep resentative prohibition common wealths, whose economic conditions closely parallel those of Washing ton, and afford a fair basis of com- parison, Kansas has been a state about twice as long as Washington, but, like this, is mainly an agricul- tural community Oklahoma as a state is eighteen years younger than Washington, but it is a new coun- try and has much the same variety of inhabitants as this common wealth.
 "Under prohibition Kansas en- joyed an increase of 63 per cent in the average number of wage work CTS during the decade that ended in 1909, and of Ill per cent in the value of its products. Oklahoma registered increases of 452 per cent and 560 per cent, respectively in the same items. But Missouri, where between 25 and 30 per cent of the population in 1909 was un- der prohibition, saw the average number of wage workers during the same decade increase only AZ per cent and the value of its products only Sl.5 per cent. In such license commonwealths as New York and Pennsylvania, where fewer than q fourth of the people are under pro- hibition, the value of their products increased 80 per cent in New York and 59 per cent in Pennsylvania. The states that have adopted pro- hibition have progressed in busi- ness activity, especially in manu- featuring, and have grown in wealth

What Mexican Peace Means

Peace in Mexico seems to be once more in sight. This news is of par ticular interest to communities Ike Tucson and Nogales, which would profit beyond measure by the re- opening of the west coast of MeXi- co to American industry, the revi- val of railroad transportation through to the end of the Southern Pacific of Mexico, and the planting of cr"ps once more all along this rich coast and the reopening of the fabulouslv rich mines of this sec tion.
 The wealth of the west coast in natural resources is not altogether appreciated by the majority of Americans living on the border. With the return of peace, a vast agricultural empire is certain to be built up there, and this would SUD- port great cities and prove another California under anything like a stable government.
 Before the revolution ground had just been broken for the develop. ment of this empire by the building of a railroad the full length of it; but the foundation has been laid the railroad can be repaired in a few months and the country made to prosper in comparatively short time if peace IS once assured. - | Tucson Citizen.

One Good Result, at Least,
 From the War.

A great many people remarked sadly at the beginning of the pres ent European war, that they could not see how any good could come from it. Certainly, any good that comes from this awful struggle will be bought at an inconceivable dear price, but in this case it seems as though an evil cannot be so great but good may come from it. Some times the good may be direct re- suit and at other times an indirect one. In Russia the war seems to have brought a great boon to the people, indirectly. National prohi- bition has been adopted in Russia as war measure. The following quotation from 6 Bor1, aux press report tells why the measure was adopted, how it was enforced and finally graphically described the benefits it has brought to the peo- pie:
 'The nation has been compelled, virtually over night, to abandon its ncrmous daily consumption. of vodka. liquor that is almost pure alcohol, and become abstemious to the extent of letting no liquor pass its lips.
 "On that day when the mobiliza- tion of the Russian army began, special policemen visited every pub lie place where vodka is sold, locked up the supply of liquor and placed on the shop the imperial seal. Since the manufacture and sale of vodka IS government monopoly in Rus sia it is not a difficult thing to en- force prohibition. "From the day this step was ta- ken. drunkenness vanished in Rus sia. The results are seen at once in the peasantry, already thsy are beginning to look like different race. The marks of suffering, the pinched looks of illness and impro per nourishment have gone from their faces. There has been a re- markable change in the appear ance of their clothing. Their clothes are cleaner and both the men and women appear more neatly and better dressed.
 "The destitute character of the homes of the poor has been re- placed with something like order and thrift"
 It would seem that thing which so benefits the people would surely be continued after the war is over.

These women See that it is they who are to blame for the stores opening on thcse days and the clerks and proprietors being de,lied the enjoy ment of a full day off. They also appreciate the fact that the store keepers and their clerks enjoy holi- days as well as they do. In the spirit of the golden rule, they are setting about in practicable way to secure the all-day closing of all stores on legal holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
 This is, indeed, commendable step on the part of the women. An agreement, signed by practically ali the women of the town. to do their marketing on the day previous to a holiday ought easily to secure the unanimous agreement of merchants to close all day on such days.
 They have started too late to se- cure such observance of Thanks giving day, but should accomplish this end for Christmas The New sincerely hopes that the womeu may be successful in this Under taking.

Wanton Vandalism

It is to be deplored that there are individuals in practically every community possessed of a spirit of vandalism that has no consideration for the public good.
 Public works and things erect ed soly for the use of the public are ruthlessly injured or destroy ed by them.
 An instance of this sort of thing is seen in the partial de- struction of the road sign just west of town. This is one of the excellent signs installed by the Southern California Automobile Club at the order of the county Supervisors. Some individual or individuals have shot this sign so full of holes that it's usefulness has been largely destroyed.
 There was absolutely nothing to be gained by this act.
 Numberless other targets just as good might be found whose destruction would be no loss to the people. Let us hope that public spirit against such wanton vandalism may yet become SC strong as to put an end to it.
