HYMN BEFORE ACTION.
LIN B. ORME

(By Rudyard Kipling)
The earth is full of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet We loose the legions-
Ere yet We draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles, aid.
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart and rebellious brow
Deaf ear ard soul uncaring,
We seek thy mercy now
The sinner that forsWore thee,
The fool that passed thee by,
Our times are known before thee
Lord, grant us strength to die.
From panic, pride and terror
Revenge that knows no rein,
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak thou our understanding,
Make firm the shuddering breath
IN silence and answering
To taste thy lesser death.
Fen now their vanguard gathers
Fen now We face the fray
AS thou didst help our fathers,
Help thou our host today.
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life, in death made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles, hear

For the past few years it has been
impossible for private irrigation en-
terprises to raise money for the con-
struction OF even the most meritor-
ious projects. At the recent irriga-
ton conference at Denver, called by
Secretary Lane, it was unanimously
agreed by the hundreds of delegates
from the western land states, that
in order 20 insure the success of any
irrigation project at the present time
it was necessary for either the state
or thegovernment to finance the con-
struction work. The state of Utah
is carrying on it's own reclamation
work and from a small beginning it's
reclamation fund has grown into mil
lions, whichthe state loans to private
enterprises, as we'll as constructing g
some OF it's larger projects itself.
Vote for the constitutional amend
ment, which will permit Arizona to
engage in state reclamation.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN POLITICAL
MATTERS.

The women Of Yuma have already
most of their privilege of the ballot
since they have been given enfran-
chisement, and the coming primary
is now exciting keen interest among
the women who feel that it is their
right and duty to know the man for
whom they cast their vote.
They are planning to organize for
the purpose OF securing definite re
suits inusing their influeencee for the
man best fitted to fill a county office
from both an efficient and moral
standpoint,
So much interest has been shown
that many have postponed their
summer vacations and others are
planning to return in time to get a
line on the primary candidates.
No official meeting has been held
as yet but the matter is being freely
discussed and something is expected
to develop soon.
The organization will be composed
of the suffrage leaders of the differ
ent women's clubs of the town and
will hold mobilization or rallys at
which the candidates will be invited
to speak. TIE expenses of the meet
ings will be betrayed by the candi-
dates,who will no doubt be glad to
pay the charge asked for the privi-
lege of addressing the audiences.
In California, the women are carry
ing on similar meetings very success
fully and devoting the funds to the
suffrage cause in the five states
where the question is to be voted
upon in November, giving especial
assistance to Nevada and Montana
in an effort to secure a solid west.

GREAT RACING ASSURED.

Although it is six weeks until the
time of closing the entries of the Ari.
zona state fair, almost every day
gives further assurance that the
greatest racing ever seen in Arizona
will occur at the Arizona state fair
next November.
When the fair commission arrang-
ed to have ten great purses of $4,000
each, and nine smaller purses of
$500 to 81 600 each, they made Just
the right arrangements to catch the
horsemen.
Nearly all the horses in Califor-
MIA have already entered, and word
comes that the rest of them will
send in their entries before the Cal
ifOrnia circuit opens on August 31st.
More entries have been received
from the east than We're ever receiv-
ed by any previous state fair, and
the best part of it is that nearly
every entry is a "crack" that has
been thoroughly tested on some mid
die west or grand circuit before its
owner decided to enter at Phoenix
Both tie cast and the west are
realizig more and more that the Ari-
znna state fa r-the last great meet
OF the season, where the east meets
the VESTS the real fight between
the east and the west for racing hon
ors.

Arizona has a we'll worked out tax
alton system which would be useless
should a majority of votes in Novem-
Der be cast for the so-called New
Zealand taxation law. 1t is a farce
in construction and would be more
or less of a tragedy in operation,
because the state would have a hard
time raising enough revenue to run
the states business under its vague
provisions.

The governor has no right to veto
any law adopted by the people under
initiative or referendum. The hgls-
lature has the power to amend or
correct a defective law so enacted.
1t would be foolish to take this
power from the legislature as long
as any Tom, Dick or Harry has the
privilege of writing a proposed law
and getting it on the ballot.

Yuma county should vote unani-
mously for the proposed state recla-
nation act, as the great Parker pro
ject and the Cibola project could be
successfully financed provided this
constitutional amendment were
adopted by the people at the Noyem-
Der election. These projects, when
completed, would increase the assess
ed valuation of the state and county
over $4,000, 900. They would provide
homes for several thousand people
on the farms and in the cities,
Every farmerand workingman in the
state should vote for this amendment
The building of the irrigation sys-
TENS would mean the employment of
hundreds OF men for two or three
years. The state must adopt some
measure for the reclamation OF it's
arid lands, and what better method
could be employed than have the
state do the work itself?

1t should have been a dark and

was out, especially the men, to get

Naturally they chose to be where
they would get the most authentic
reports. The Republican office of
course. The other reason for their
coming was the genial city editor
who, no matter how busy, is always
courteous. Foolish, foolish men. You
can't always be happy, by heck,
specially when returns are coming
by long and short distance phones,
telegraph and tramp service, not by
a long shot.

they didn't care, the self centered
things. but they wanted him to fgive
them all the information and right
then and there while he was padding
the telegraph, writing heads and call
ing over the wire, Whats that, how
many for Ling?" You say Adams is
leading How about Stanford"
Great stuff being a city editor.
In the mob were candidates galore
who insisted on not bothering about
taking figures of the first precinct
until he took those of the fourth
where they were leading. An aw-
fully interesting lot are candidates
when they start in to tell you why
they are not winning. which is Gus

Twenty eight Prussian prisoners, the
first to be seen in Paris in the present

They had become separated from their

get there. The peasant replied he
thought that Paris had fallen and
would conduct them to the right road.
When too late, the Prussians found he

BREAST PLATES
FOR FRENCH
Are lmpenetrable at Any But Shortest
Range.

Paris, Oct. 31.-The Journal din
formation states that the French in
fantry have recently gained much
ground in the Argonne region through
the use of steel breastplates, which
though unable to resist point blank
bullets, are nevertheless impenetrable
at range which permits troops to
pause before the last rush with the
bayonet.
The Journal de Rennes announces
that the Russian government decided
to adopt the breastplate at the out
break of the war. and placed immense
orders with factory at st. Hilaire de
Harcouet, which had the exclusive
manufacturing rights.
The French government also has
now ordered large quantities and has
released the reservists employed in the
factory, which is busy night and day.
