e. d. G. Gives a Party

The Cornish Debating Club of
the S. S. A. gave a social on Sat
urday night last. The affair was
given in honor of the Faculty.
1t is reported with regrets that
the entire lineup of that sedate
body was not n attendance,
neither was the reason known.
Notwithstanding this fact, the
wheels of machinery were in no
wise stopped and the routine was
pulled of in an enjoyable manner.
Musical selections and readings
agreeably interspersed games,
followed by a chocolate supper.
After the edibles were fittingly
disposed of, the revelers ground
off the rest of the evening in
dancing.
The Academy building fur
nished the sacred footirg upon
which these educators so worth

SAYS new PENSION
LAW IS DEFECTIVE

According to Leslie C. Hardy,
assistant attorney general, the
old age pension law, which be-
comes effective Jan. 1, will cause
all county hospitals to be abol-
ished. Now comes J. F. Ross.
chosen at the recent election as
county attorney of Cochise coun-
ty, and says that the title of the
law is defective and that it does
not state important provisions
contained in several sections.
Under the constitution any law
must have it's provisions briefly
recited in its title. The pension
law is very deficient in this re-
spect, he says.
Another defect of the law, in
the opinion of Mr.. Ross, renders
it Ineffective as it does not pro-
vide any method for the sale of
any county poor farm or aims
house; nor does it say who shall
make the sale or how it shall be
done. 1t is his opinion that no
county or state officer could le-
gally perform this duty in the
absence Of any statute making
it his duty to do so.
1t is the opinion of the newly
elected county attorney that the
boards of supervisors will not be
authorized to make appropria-
tions for county poor fans and
hospitals until the law is tested
and ordered non-operative.

Catholics Will Contest
State Prohibition Law


Bishop Henry Granjon, head
of the Catholic diocese of Ari-
zona and New Mexico, has en-
gagged attorneys to contest the
validity of the state prohibition
law, says a Tucson dispatch.
The contest, it is stated, will be
instituted in the name of Rev.
Thomas Connolly, pastor of All
Saints church in this city, and
will be based on the contention
that the measure i S uncon-
stitutional because it's sweeping
provisisns would prevent the use
of wine in the sacramental cere-
mony Of mass and thereby con-
travene the fundamental rights
of religious organizations.
Rev. Connolly, mentioned in
the above article, was for many
years pastor o f the Catholic
church at Winslow.

COLORADO MINERS
STRIKE TO SOON END

In duration, sacrifice of life,
property, and in monetary loss
to the state, miners union, the
coal operators, the miners, rail
roads and private industries, the
Colorado coal strike, about to
be called off by the miners, has
been one of the greatest in the
history of American mining.
The strike in the northern
coal fields, of which the state
wide strike is a continuation.
was called on April 4, 1911.
The statewide strike was called
on September %. 1913, and vir-
tually paralyzed the industry of
Colorado, threw the common
wealth into turmoil and finally
led to the calling out of the
state militia and the importa-
tion of federal troops, success
lively, into the strike territory
to preserve order.
The toll of approximately
eighteen millions of dollars ex-
pended during the strike is
shared by miners, operators, the
union, railroads, state and fed
eral governments, as we'll as
private industries. According
to union officials more that So, =
600, 900 has been paid in strike
benefits alone. Loss of wages
to miners is estimated at over
$6,OOO,OOO.
The strike has been charac-
terized by an unusually large
number of acts of violence and
at least sixty-six persons are
known to have been killed and
about fifty injured as a result
of disorders incident to the
labor war.

Says Zone More
Fool Law" for Arizona

Arizona at the last election by
vote of Is, 063 to 10, SGT adopted
an initiative measure providing
that 80 per cent of the employees
in any business employing more
than five persons shall be Ameri-
can citizens.
This fool law is in direct bra
zen conflict with Sec. l of Art.
IA of the United States Consti-
tuition, which says: Nor shall
any state deprive any person of
life, liberty or property without
due process of law; nor deny to
any person within it's jurisdic-
ton the equal protection of the
laws"
If the law could be enforced
as it cannot below would the
women of Arizona relish being
deprived of their Japanese and
Chinese and German and Irish
and Mexican household servants
How would the ranchmen like
to lose their Mexican help?
Would the taxpayers tackle the
task of supporting in idleness
the army of foreignborn, non
naturalized laborers now in Ari-
zona? And they would have to
support them, for they could
not very we'll massacre them or
forcibly expatriate them. Los

Harry Thaw'S Case Up

Argument before the Supreme
Court on the case of Harry K.
Thaw is being heard in Washing
ton City this week. The decision
of this court will determine
whether Thaw is to go back to
New York and become subject
to the laws of that state, under
which he's charged with conspir-
acy, or go free. Since his escape
from Matteawan, Thaw has been
held sane by United States
court. A sane man can not be
charged with conspiracy f or
making his escape from an in
sane asylum. Ifinsane when he
escaped, he cannot be charged
with conspiracy, for an insane
man cannot be legally guilty of
any crime. Thaw can not be
held for murder because he was
acquitted on that charge on the
ground of insanity. There is but
little doubt that the sentiment
of the country is in favor of
Thaw, but that is not a legal as
pect of the case.
