of goods and for those living over that
 The following editorial is reprinted from The Alabama Merchant which was is- sued a day or two ago under the aus pices of the merchants association. and copy mailed to every one of the $500 merchants in the state who are mem- bers of the association:
 WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?
 Another year is gone. Another conven- tion time is here We wonder what the year has meant to the Alabama mer- ehant-the Alabama business man?
 Has 1t meant more than it would have meant if that memorable meeting we held last year had never been? Where is the merchant who will say In his own heart that during the past i2 months he has not gained new grasp on his business, has not met adverse conditions with a stronger spirit. has not been a bigger man, has not been a better friend, a better neighbors, better citizen, for hav- ing mingled those two days last Au- gust with his fellow merchants from all parts of the state?
 How many of you want to come back clasp hands with the friends you made last year. and exchange greetings with the many new ones you will make this year? How many of you want to meet again within the pale of common friend ship and exchange ideas on both business and pleasure, for your mutual benefit listen to inspiring talks by your fellow merchants, indulge in gay festivities and amusements until you feel refreshed and go back home to tackle your daily tasks with the enthusiasm of a barefoot boy with a fishing line, bound for a shady trout stream?
 Those in favor say Aye.

 lt is generally thought in political cir cles that the governor would reappoint Mir.

NEGRO TANGOISTS
 TO BE TRIED TODAY

This morning at o'clock in the recorders court will be tried 55 negro tangoists who were arrested Saturday night in dance hall at Twenty-fourth street and Avenue on charges of dis orderly conduct.
 The only interest to the trial is whether the contention of the police will be borne out, as there have been numer- ous complaints that the raid on the ne- gro dance hall was an imposition.

Funds to Erect Stage

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 The young people at the Anti-Tuber- culosis camp on Red mountain are try ing to raise enough money to have a stage built in the recreation hall.
 There are so very few amusements for them, and being young, they must have some way to amuse themselves. It is against their health to do anything vio- lent, but giving plays would not impair their health in the least and would serve to take their mind off their physi- cal condition. It would serve to make them look at the bright side of life. Then those that are able could offer ample amusements for those who are not physically able to amuse them selves.
 We certainly would appreciate it very much if some one would help us in this matter, for when it is taken into con sideration as to the value 1t would add to the camp. It must be remembered that 1t would not only afford pleasure and amusements for those who are at the camp now but will mean as much to those unfortunates who may come here in the future.
 It has been estimated that $50 would cover the total cost. Those contributing will have no cause to regret the same, for it will be more than appreciated. Funds will be received by Miss K. l. Malone, superintendent of the camp.

CAMPBELL AND K|NGAN
 RETAINED BY "DRYS"

TUCSON, Dec. 9.-Judge John H Campbell, former associated justice of the supreme court of Arizona and United States judge at Tucson, and Samuel L. Kingan, both leading at torneys of Tucson, were toady retain ed by the 'drys" in the fight being made by the liquor edalers, the drug gists and the Catholic church to upset the liquor amendment. It is report ed also that Judge A. C.. Baker has been retained by the 'drys.'
 This will mean that the small army of attorneys retained by the vets will be confronted by a formidable array of counsel on the "dry" side when the great legal battle to upset the will of the people is staged in the courts which will probable be before the first of the year.

IN THE
 POLITICAL CAMPS

There is at present no sign of pes simism in any of the three political camps. The pulses of the parties are best felt in Washington, it is declared. The Republicans are jubilant over their recent gains. The Democrats think they have developed the biggest man since Lincoln and the Progress sives believe they are certain to hold the balance of power in 1916.
 While the Republicans feel that they can have most of the things they want in Congress for the next two years and after that be in entire control, there seems to be a widely diverse opinion as to a presidential candidate.
 Democratic hopes are being based for the most part on the strength of their candidate. They confidently ex- pect MT. Wilson to be stronger in 1916 than he is now. He will have had more opportunity to display his JOu6hOAI duu 1Ilo IdlOAIo, CHOJ odS' The Democratic leaders attach no im- portance to the assertions that Wilson was repudiated in the recent elections.
 In one respect the Progressive lead CTS have made turnabout in their opinion. It is their belief that in 1916 they will make considerable inroads into the Democratic ranks, whereas in the past they have done practically all of their recruiting among the Re publicans. They declare that around the Third district in Louisiana will grow a movement that in time will be force in the South. No claims are being made of big gains in the near future. The leaders say they realize that political party usually is of slow growth and that they are now convinced theirs will be no exception. Most of their hopes are based on the unpopularity of machine controlled politics in the North and West and on the fact that the South is urgently in need of two political parties for economic and political reasons.

WATERWAY CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. g. Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner -One of the largest and most notable gatherings ever assembled in this country in the interest of waterway development was cal.e;i to order to- day when the National Rivers ana Harbors Congress met for it's eleventh annual convention. The congress is national in it's purpose, representing all sections and all waterways, and IS endeavoring to impress Congress with the necessity of q definite and gen erous governmental policy regarding the waterways of the country. The action of the last session in cutting off more than half of the appropria- tion called for in the Rivers and liar bors bill has aroused the spirit of the better waterways advocates and the prospects are that the convention which opened today will be the live Hest in the history of the organiza- tion.

SALOON MEN ARE
 ASKING FOR TIME

A petition that is being circulated here, asks the state legislature to post pone the operation of the prohibition amendment until such time as the business interests involved may be able to dispose of their leases, fix lures, etc.
 The final clause of the petition reads: We do earnestly petition; that you do enact legislation for the ell forcement of this amendment i:'1 will execute the will of the people as expressed in this amendment and at the same time provide with dei- ;niteness and certainty reasonar!e time within which business matters involved may be adjusted without loss and ruin to those interested directly and indirectly in a formerly legitimate business.
 The preamble to the document pro- ceeds along the line that the time given the liquor dealers is too short to enable them to close out their businesses without loss of stock fix lures and leaseholds, several of which latter have still long terms to run.
