The Bible as an Educator.

In lis address to the British Edu-
tlonal Conference Viscount Brice
depIored the increasing unfamiliari-
ty Of school children with the Bible.
Undoubtedly in this age of religious
relaxation and education in non-sec-
tartan schools and colleges boys and
girls are grounded in the Bible to
only very moderate extent. The
Old contact with it in the family cir
Gle is gone, and the Sunday school
is about the only agency left through
which the younger generation gets
its knowledge Of the Bible, either as
doctrine or as literature.
1t would not be extravacant to
say that the loss Of such knowledge
would be a great misfortune, look
ing at it only from the educational
point OF view. The English Ian
guage as employed in the King
James version rises to a dignity ard
harmony N prose and to an exQuis-
tie balance between vigor and beau-
ty which it attains nowhere else.
TO cut OFF a pupil in the formative
years from access to that master
piece OF expression is to deprive him
OF an almost indispensable standard
by which to measure the power and
purity OF tie English language
Happy is the old-fashioned bow or
girl who went unwilling'y to family
worship or struggled half-heartedly
with the prayer book or the West
catechism. In educational
value alone the brand thus cast in
travel OF spirit upon the waters has
returned to feed him Or her abund-
antiy IN later years. New York

For the purpose of organizing a and proprietors and lessees of hotels, rooming houses and apartment houses met last night in the parlors of the Adams hotel and perfected a tempor |ary organization, passed bylaws for the association and adjourned to meet again on Friday evening next at the same place for the purpose of making the organization permanent.
 The bylaws adopted last night among other things said
 The object of the association and the purpose for which it is formed are to secure for it's members the benefit of united effort and cOncen- trated power to the end that the evils and annoyances now connected with the transaction of the hotel apart ment and lodging house business, shall be abated, to promote good fel- lowship and fair dealing in such busi- ness to protect its members and the public in general to promote the enactment of legislation for the pro- tection of property rights and deal ings pertaining thereto, and to do all in the power of the association and it's members which may tend to the upbuilding, stability and dignity of the hotel, apartment and lodging house business.
 The business has not heretofore been organized although it repre- sents one twelfth of the tax payers of the city according to the amount of taxes paid.

When Arthur Haltom, one of the superintendents of irrigation on the Salt river project, was seized with appendicitis shortly before noon yes terday, Assistant Project Manager Orc McDermith thought the case un- fortunate, but not necessarily ap palling. But, when, shortly after noon Stenographer A. E. StelZer was also taken ill with this malady, and in turn removed by MT. McDermith
 to the Sisters hospital, he began to believe it was epidemic
 And this is not all. In regular or der, the stenographers and office

It should be the aim of every citi- zen of ArizOna-man or woman-to cast his or her vote on November 3d for candidate whom, if elected, will bring the greatest degree of prosperity, happiness and general contentment to the state.
 Governor Hunt, during the three years of his administration, has established a record upon which he must stand or fall I have no per sonal fight to make on him. His broadcast throughout the state dur ing the campaign of 1911. His prated integrity was one of the pillars employed in supporting the pedestal If democratic hope. MT. Hunt has been in office now for a period of three years, during which time he has had ample opportunity to verify and make good the claims of his sup porters during the campaign of three years ago. 1 wish to state that at this time there is vast difference of opinion among the original sup porters of Mir Hunt, and that the banners upon which were inscribed sturdy honesty" and "unimpeacha- ble integrity will not be thrown to the breezes during the present cam paign.
 That the governor has erred in judgment, has proven weak, vacillat ing and incompetent; has in many instances substituted socialistic prin- ciples for those of the democratic party and precipitated the state in disaster and in nation wide disgrace and discredit is the indictment re- turned against him by goodly per: centage of the members of the demo- cratic party and large portion of the conservative thinking voters of the state.
 In addition to the charge of in competency, the administration has been characterized by reckless, al most criminal extravaganza. It has installed a horde of high salaried at taches, chosen rather because of their personal friendship. and their exten- sive blood and voting relationship, than for their competency and ac- tual necessity, and all that power ful machine might be erected with sufficient strength to withstand the assaults from the more intelligent within the democratic party and from the voters in the republican party and its following. The strength of this Hunt machine was demon strated at the recent state council of the democratic party when the voice of the conservative democrats was hushed and their hands tied that the personal ideas" of Hunt might be advanced as the policies of the real democratic party.
 The vote cast for Doctor Hughes disclosed in mild way the bitter anti-Hunt feeling within the demo- cratic party.

 That is the initial number in "In Gay Paree," that opens the week end attraction at the Columbia to- night. During the Bothwell Browne engagement there have been many artistic productions, but Francis Young declares this will surpass any in the way of costuming and stage settings. The gowns are patterned from the Parisian models exhibited at the early autumn fashion show in San Francisco, the evening costumes worn in the "Au Revoir, My Hya . cinth,' number being unusually elab- crate and beautiful. The finale-a French carnval-provides opportu nity for gay carnival costumes as well as a merry ending for one of the best tabloid musical comedies that has been given here.
