and the dreaded Sunday was at hand,
that he slept with any sense of rest or
went his way about the town without
that halting at the corners which be-
trayed his perpetual apprehension Of q

The reason for this change will be
apparent In the short conversation he
held with a man he had come upon
one evening In the small park just be-
yond the workmen's dwellings.

AMERICAS DUTY
From Philadelphia Press
(Standpat Rep.)

What this country needs is
less partisanship. Neither the
causes of the war nor its prob
able outcome concern the
American people as much as
the question of what America
can do toward ending it speed
lily. AS the only great power
not involved in the war the duty
of making peace will be ours.
The American people should
rise to that duty united IN

much good as possible for all

AN MOVING WORRY
 IS SOON ENDED
Place to Secure Relief BaIkes Big
 Curio Store.

In less than a month the gradua- tion gifts will have to be made. There are hundreds of people in Phoenix who intend to make gifts to graduates from the schools of this city, and many more who are in tending to send appropriate presents to young friends in other parts of the country, who are about to emerge from the schools for the more serious business of life. Like all intending givers of gifts, many will find it difficult to decide just what to give or send. A little help will be of great service to them and they can secure this help at Balke's Big Curio store. But if they go there they will not really need any help So numerous are the articles suitable for gifts that the suitability will suggest itself. For many years the Big Curio store has made speciality of catering to those who want to select graduation or other appropriate presents. There is mo- where else in the southwest where there is such a wide range from which to make selections.
 Those who are worrying about the matter of graduation gifts should call at once and have their worries over. Beside. they will not have much more time, especially those who are intending to send gifts to distant parts of the country-(Ad- Vertisement)

When England was enlisting sol diers for the Boer war she made the narrowing discovery that eighty per cent of the applicants for enlistment were unfit for service, largely due to alcoholic eXcesses.

 Little by little the limits circum- scribed about the drinker have been narrowing until no man is sure of his job if he uses liquor in any form. It has been barred from the navy. the departments at Washington, the army canteen has been abolished, siXty-five fraternal orders have barred the drink CT, ninety per cent of the railroad companies will not have him, he can find no abiding place with seventy nine per cent of the manufacturers eighty eight per cent of the trades have driven him out, seventytwo per cent of the agriculturists Will not have him and even the insurance companies are refusing him as a risk.
 This is prohibition by private en- forcement, and the man who thinks it is not effective would best try for d job and a drink at the same time. It is keeping a great many men from joining the down-and- -out class and also puts many human derelicts out on the world.
 At the same time the net is closing about the liquor traffic. The fact of national prohibition is certain in the near future. Several new states will be added to the dry column this fall. The federal law prevents the ship ment of liquor into dry territory. Su- preme courts have been clipping off chunk after chunk of the doctrine of personal liberty" until the man who uses that argument is d back number.

 It looks like the dealer and the con- sumer were alike headed for the junk
 pile It looks like the one is an out 1 law and the other it's victim. Oi
 course congress has no power to dea

 posed is of interest only as showing
 the drift and tendency of the times with reference to the traffic. It is
