Governor Hunt Wires Wash ington Regarding Condi- tion of Mexican Wounded Now in Grave Danger of Being Despatched

Acting on advices received yester- day from Sheriff Harry Wheeler of Ccchise county, Governor Hunt wired last night to the war department re- garding the condition of the Mexican wounded at Naco Sonora.
 Sheriff Wheeler's report to the governor states that there are now over 200 wounded in the Mexican town, in imminent danger of being massacred by the Yaquis of May tcrena, who are hourly expected to attack and raid the town. The wounded men have been receiving attention from two American sur geons from Naco, Arizona, but in view of the critical situation it is rot considered likely that the physi- clans can remain south of the border much longer. The telegram from Naco suggests that the wounded be brought into the United States for protection and treatment.
 The state department has so far refused to allow wounded Mexican soldiers to cross the border, for sur gical attention, citing in reply to a request for such permission the fact that 5000 Mexican refugees had been interned in Texas and New Mexico for a number of months at a cost several hundred thousand dollars

MEDICAL AUTHORITY

At the third annual meeting of alienists and neurologists of the Unit ed States held under the auspices of the Chicago Medical society. for the purpose of discussing mental diseases in their various phases, July 13-17, 1914.
 The committee on Alcoholism as Causative Factor of Insanity" reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
 Whereas, In the opinion of the meeting of alienists and neurologists of the United States in convention as sembled, it has been definitely estab- lshed that alcohol when taken into the system acts as a definite poison to the brain and other tissues; and
 Whereas, The effects of this poison are directly or indirectly responsible for a large proportion of the insane, cpl leptics, feebleminded, and other forms of mental, moral and physical degen- eracy; and
 Whereas, The laws of many states make alcohol freely available for drink ing purposes; and therefore cater to the physical, mental and moral degra- dation of the people; and
 Whereas, Many hospitals for the insane and other public institutions are now compelled to admit and care for a multitude of inebriates; and Whereas, Many states have already established separate colonies for the treatment and re-aducation of such in ebriates, with great benefit to the in dividuals and to the commonwealths. Therefore, Be it resolved that we, un- qualifiedly, condemn the use of alcohol beverages and recommend that the var ious state legislatures take steps to eliminate such use; and be it further Resolved, That we recommend the

those communities know that prohi5i tion would prove farce there. Real estate men already have obtained op- tions on land just across the border from those cities. If the state goes Gry, the regulated saloons or those cities will be replaced by dives and deadfalls on the other side of the fine ard just stones throw from the business sections of Douglas and Nogales. It will be almost impossl- ble to stop liquor smuggling across the line. The sentiment in Bisbee IS the same because that populous city is only six miles from the inter- national line and like condition will prevail there. Those cities will not vote for prohibition because they realize that there would be no de- crease in drinking and those con- munities would be deprived of the revenues now derived from the reg
 ulated sale of liquor, a large item to the taxpayers. of those cities.
 These cities should have the right to regulate their own affairs. Those who live in rural communities which are dry under local option should not, in fairness and justice, attempt to inflict a hardship of such magni- tude on those cities. There can be no enforcement of the law in those communities and demoralization will result The entire state must suffer from such condition affecting q

large percentage of it's population.
 Former President Taft in one of lis four lectures delivered at Yale a few years ago on Four Aspects of Civic Duty" said:
 Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance with sound policy than to enact a law which, by reason of conditions surrounding the community, is incapable of en- forcement. Such instances are some times presented by sumptuary laws. by which the sale of intoxicating liquors is prohibited under penalties in localities where the public sen timent of the immediate community Goes not and will not sustain the enforcement of the law In such cases the legislation usually is the result of agitation by the people in the country districts who are de- termined to make their fellow citi- zens in the city better. The enact ment of the law comes through the country representatives, who form a majority of the legislature, but the enforcement of the law is among people who are generally opposed to it's enactment and under such cir cumstances the law is a dead letter The constant violation of neglect of any law leads to demoralization Cf all laws"

THE REAL ISSUE

Strenuous efforts are being mada hy the prohibition leaders to side track the real issue in this cam paign. The issue is not the saloon, because the dry amendment does far more than wipe out the saloon. Nor is the issue temperance, despite the name of the organization which is waging the fight for the amendment. because prohibition does not promote temperance. During the past twen- ty-five years, fifty per cent of the area of the United States has be- come dry territory through pro
 hibition either in statewide form, or local option. During that time, the per capita consumption of liquor in
 the nation has increased many times. The statistics of the federal govern ment prove that fact
 The real issue in this campaign is whether the rural communities of the state shall impose restrictions on the more populous communities
 which are distasteful to them. The prevailing sentiment in every city in Arizona is against prohibition. In the cities on the border, notably
 Douglas and Nogales, the sentiment | is overwhelmingly against statewide | prohibition, because the people of

PHOENIX MERCHANT IN
 SHORT MEASURE CASE
Gallon Measure in Use Without Seal for Twelve Years, Shows
 Quarter Pint Deficiency

A gallon measure that has given short weight for twelve years, was responsible for the appearance before Judge Parker yesterday, of R. Valen- Phoenix, at the instance of Joseph P. Kehoe, city inspector of weights and measures.
 A second charge arising from his arrest was preferred against the de- fendant for hindering the city sedler in the performance of his duty The evidence showed that during the twelve years of it's use the measure under dispute had never borne the seal of inspection. Whilst the scales ined and sealed some months ago, the measure had been overlooked Dy the inspector. It is this fact that
 led Judge Parker to withhold judg- ment until Monday, pending study of the law to determine which party was remiss.
 The evidence in the second charge showed that defendant disputed the authority of the inspector. A pack age of potatoes measured out for a customer, was seized by the inspec- | tor. In the argument as to Kehoes right to take the potatoes in view of their having already been sold however, the package was taken away by the customer unnoticed

Her friends, arriving at her home,
found her lying back in her easy chair.
apparently about to pass over the last
threshold. Nellie. being a good house
wife. carried bunch of keys at her
girdle and. thinking that she was now
gone. one OF the neighbors reached
under the folds OF her dress to find
the key that would unlock the closet
where her shroud was kept Az the
good woman was fumbling at the CIR
die she felt a sly pinch Of her hand
and knew by that that there was still
u spark OF life remaining.
Perhaps" she suggested. "a wee
drop of brandy would revive her"
A teaspoonful of brandy was ad-
ministered, but with only fickering
response. So the friends departed sor-
rowfully. forgetting. however. to re-
move the bottle from her side. On
their return few hours later they
discovered that the brandy had van
ished and that Nellie had completely
recovered. She lived to be more than
one hundred years old But that,

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAlRlES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn. chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be profitable investment
According to the Farm and Ranch Re
view, a correspondent visited a field
OF corn In southern Manitoba on Sep
tember 2S. The corn then was un-
touched by frost and It stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage. and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor.
able showing Of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex.
perimental farm this year several va
rieties. all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced. and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing II.
should not 1t receive the serious at.
tention of the western agriculturist? !?
Corn is successfully grown In the
northern part OF Minnesota in simi.
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured In western Can.
ada. II Is the opinion of many Ameri.
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. II crops

why should not corn be one OF these
crops? In Ontario and In the United
States We find II forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact. since its In.
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
Of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown In Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn. even now we find scat
tered fields Of corn In Alberta and
Saskatchewan.-Advertisement.
