First Law of Nature

The second of the great Warner features found instant favor last night at the Empress theater when the management offered one of the greatest Indian pictures ever proj-
 ected on a movie screen. The story
 takes as it's theme the love of a de- generate for a fair daughter of a pi-
 onee.', in the days of empire build :
 ing, in the west, and failing to win
 her by fair means he carries her off
 by force. only to be thwarted in his attempts to escape. Incensed by his failure. he incites the Indians to re- volt against the white settlers, and the carnage that follows supplies the real thrills of the big three-reeler, The picture abounds in splendid horsemanship. It is drawn to the scale that measured the hardy pio-
 neer and his hardy wife of fifty years ago. The Indian attack on the block house. the return of the plot ter to give up his life for the girl he tried to wrong, and the rescue | by a troop of United States soldiers are only a few of the several things l iE the offering that stamp 1t as far | removed from the ordinary. It is l indeed a work of magnificent dis tGnces, the aim of the make.' being | to show the big bodies of men and horses employed to advantage in
 comparison with the grandeur of the
 hills. and the brush of the pioneer
 camp. "The First Law of Nature will be seen again tonight at the
 Empress for the last time. It is well worth while.

Don't you all reckon the home folks will hold an ice cream social from seven until nine o'clock some winning team?
 How great must have been the re- joicing in Mesa last night when the boys with joy and pride announced to their good parents and best girls" that they had beaten the Solons at Riverside yesterday three to two. What shame they hadn't come over to see the game-but maybe it will be a lesson and they'll come next time only let us hope there will never be another one just like that It didn't seem quite right for Phoenix to have to play against all three of them at once-Tempe, Mesa and the umpires-but such was the case and I must say there were ossified maneuvers from all of them and yet

 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state- wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This. like all other important ques- tions mas two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion Of this issue in its pages, allowing to each side at least half column daily for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.
 It is only stipulated that the com munications for and against prohibi-

ton be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order.
 It is suggested by The Republican that either side, desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.

Morris angry and his face was positively distorted with ter each try The fans all called him sore head" but why call names in a good old world like this.

looms violate every law of decency, and are calculated to stir into q flame the basest and meanest in a man, especially when the mind is ir- flamed by strong drink. The saloon is usually allied with the under W orld of our cities-the gambling dens and houses of prostitution. So notoriously true is this, that a lead ing liquor journal, a short time ago, very thing. The saloon has dealt bitterly harsh with the poor weak humanity for whose salvation Christ gave himself. The Hon R. P. Hob- son, in one of his addresses, makes the statement that liquor is directly or indirectly responsible for 100000 deaths in the United States annual . ly Some may be inclined to think this an over estimate, but none will doubt that many, many thousands are brought to premature graves each yea by strong drink.
 The saloon is not only opposed to sound patriotism and pure religion, but to sound business as well. To continue to allow the saloon a place among our recognized institutions is an economic crime The saloon has no legitimate claim to a place among sound business institutions. The sa- loon is a parasite, fattening itself upon the national life blood and giv- ing nothing but hurt and misery in return Some have sought to justify the existence Of the saloon as fur nishing an excellent method for rais- ] ing revenue. These apologists over ] look or ignore the fact, that should | be patent to all, that for every dol | lar of revenue raised by this method, | many dollars must be spent to counteract the evils of the saloon. Not only in dollars and cents, do we pay for the privilege of licensing this l institution, but also in impaired ef- ficiency in a lowered moral standard
 in lives dishonored and wrecked, in | homes disrupted and destroyed in

 they must go.
 l Let Arizona's star of state join

 those states that have banished the
 saloons-and be found among the
 morning stars that shall sing the
 song of nations deliverance from the curse of the saloon!

 Airdome
 Yesterdays program at the Air dome was about as satisfying as any show that was ever presented in this city. There were four big reels of excellent pictures and perhaps the most noteworthy was the spectacular two reel feature Rex, "A Spider and Her Web" with the clever actor Philip Smalley in the leading male role and the beautiful and talented Lois Webber in the principal female role Both their characterizations were clever in the extreme. There was a Frontier Western picture taken at Albuquerque. The Eyes of the God of Friendship" that was really 8 treat and Powers comedy, The Petticoat Detective" that was 8 scream.
