But they are all of import somebody, and they should, therefore, be regarded by every voter being good bad and should be treated accordingly.
 It may be that some of the measures may not be understood by some of the voters; such voters will be in doubt to the effect of them. In such case safe rule to follow is to vote No" on the theory that if the bill, though it may be a good one should be defeated will be left in no worse shape than We before. If the bill or amend ment should be bad one and it should be defeated we will be in better shape than if 1t had been adopted. The safe rule then may be reduced to this: WHEN IN DOUBT, VOTE 'NO'"

MISPLACED SYMPATHY

A wave of sympathy swept over the court of the lord chief justice during the hearing of the pioneer aerial collision case, when it was noticed that all though the accident occurred nearly year ago. the pilots of the two wrecked machines appeared, re- spectvely, hobbling crutches, and leaning walking sticks. Their haoes waned somewhat when 1t became known that Lieutenant Kehrmann tained his injury while playing football and E. C. PashleN had to confess being knocked down by a motor-bike.

General Obregon placed a resolution before the Aguas Calientes conven- ton asking guarantees of safety for the delegates and requesting that the convention be moved ito safer place." This is said to be the result of the fears of the CarranZa dele gates because of the nearness of the Villa troops.
 The message which was sent from the official information bureau at Mexico City said:
 General ObregOn presented to the convention at Aguas Calientes a pe- tition asking for guarantees for the protection of delegates and for the transfer of the sessions to another place. due to the fact that 1S,o00 men of the division of the north were encamped at Rincon De Rames, an hours march from Aguas Calientes, besides 1000 men of the same division within the city acting as guards for General Villa"
 Aguas Calientes had been declared neutral territory in the preliminary conference at Aguas Calientes. It is not made known whether Carranza sent into the city the troops which

FAIR FUND TEAMS DO SOME WAR STRATEGY
Reds Decline to Use Thermometer and Thus Give Out Ideas of
 Hiding Big Surprise

If Harry Welch thought to stim- ulate the Red and Blue fair fund teams to hitherto unimagined cf forts by sticking up a long imitation thermometer on which to record the sums raised each night, he was only partly successful, for after one team had registered a days work at s795. the other declined to divulge what it had pledged.
 The wise looks .and the winks and the hidden smiles all lead Welch to believe that the Reds have a large surprise to spring on the Blues and that the race for the A. L. Moore cup and the big eats is not to be doped out on the basis of that prt- liminary 795 to zero shot
 But the Blues had some idea of strategy also, for since that one reg Sstry. there has been no sum, even so small as the roseate cent, added tc the total.

Mir. Smith and Woman Suffraoe

The friends of Hon. M. A. Smith replying to the attacks of the Congressional Union for Woman Suf- rage upon him. on account of his attitude toward the National Woman Suffrage amendment are try ing to deny that his attitude was hostile to the amendment. They point to the fact that he did not vote against it. and they quote from the Congress sional Record statement by Senator Ashurst in which he accounted for the absence of Mr Smith on that momentous occasion. Mr Smith was then at the interior department he has generally been absent from his seat when there was to be decided any matter in which there a difference of opn- ion between him and any considerable body of his constituents
 MT Ashurst is also reported have said on that occasion that MT. Smith would favor the amend ment if he present We have not access to that days Record, but if Mr Ashurst said such q thing, he had entirely different opinion of the course that Mir. Smith would have taken from that of eminent suffragists of this state who were lately in receipt of letter from MT. Smith the subject
 They had written Ar. Smith, urging him to support the amendment, and his reply was widely published by the newspapers of Arizona some of which are now quoting the statement of Mr. Ashurst in his behalf In his reply, MT Smith expressed his personal friendlness the of equal suffrage friendship which he skillfuy concealed until the women of Arizona had secured the privilege of voting.
 He added, however, that he was opposed to fore ing the privilege upon those states which did not want it, by which he could mean of course, only that he was opposed forcing it upon those states majority of whose male citizens did not want inc privilege extended to women. H therefore MT smith mad been present and had voted for the amendment, he would have surprised the woman suffragists of Arizona who expected him to do no such thing.
 Moreover, the Congressional Union would not be opposing the election of Mr. Smith if he had not been known to be opposed national woman suf- frage The Union is not in party politics It cares nothing about Mir. Smiths views on any other sub ject than national woman suffrage

A Battery of Falsehoods

No candidate for important office in Arizona has before been vicously assaied Hon. George U. Young. the progressive candidate for ernor, against whom the groundless lies been put into circulation, originating in the republican and in the democratic camp. These lies of two kinds One is intended to alienate the dry vote, much of which would naturally go to MT Young progressive candidate. The other coming as we have been informed, from democratic sources, is intended to alienate the labor vote
 We have just learned that report has been circulated among the working women of Phoenix that MT Young opposed the eight hour day for women. We have been told that many women and girls, deceived, have been brought into an ganization to vote against him.
 We will say, in the first place. that Mir. Young has always favored the liberal legislation workers, men well women He was a labor ing member of a union himself always $ he is friendly organized labor. He was an advocate of labor legislation long before any friends of labor are now engaged in the cir culation of this lie felt the slightest laboring class. As progressive he feels an added interest in such legislation for the progressive party is the only of the three parties which in it's national platform has definitely declared for the rights of labor.
 
 which would especially direct the attention of those who have been misled by this report Mr. Young has been in official position in which he could oppose eight-hou law for any other labor legislation. He was not member of the legislature where this legislation duced and enacted He has been a member of any legislature and he has never been in any office where he could pass upon such legislation. As mayor of Phoenix, he could not do so for the state legislature had already established the eight hour day for women in Arizona
 Toung's unfrendliness labor is the other one, being circulated in the country, the strong dry dis rcts about Phoenix that he is the candidate of the vets, secretly, the candidate of the saloons. Every body who knows George Young knows that he has been in any way affiliated with the saloons. He has been a drinking man, an oc- casiona habtue of the saloons, many who never taste alcoholic liquors.
 It is a fact well known in Phoenix that in the mayoralty campaign last spring. very large Jority the saloons if all of them were against leaders, without exception, all managers of the present wet" fight, were opposing Mir. Young last spring, and have opposed him since. These leaders and managers responsible for every ob- struction that has been placed in the way of his administration, with the object of dscredting it.
