 | The choice of the scene for next years convention of the Arizona Sunday school convention lies with the executive committee of that body. Urgent invitations from both Yuma and Phoenix arc to be con- sidered.
 The organization as a whole ap- peared equally divided when tine question as to next years meeting place arose. The newly elected president, on behalf of Yuma, ex- tended an invitation which was warmly seconded and approved on all sides. However, another invi- tation from Phoenix was equally as warmly endorsed. Just as the con vention appeared fated for warm battle on the question, the sugges- ton was offered that the matter be left in the hands of the executive committed.
 Those in favor of Phoenix point to that city as the logical center of Sunday school activities and say that a large number of delegates would attend if the convention was held there. Last year when the convention was held in Phoenix, a record number of delegates was in attendance. This year the number dwindled. many of the southern schools failing to be represented be- cause of Prescott's location so far north. Yuma is located in the ex- treme south.
 Close of Convention.
 The seventeenth annual conven- ton of the state body closed Sun day evening in the Congregational church with stirring addresses by Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner and w. C. Pearce, both noted lights in the Sunday school advancement work A large crowd, composed of many local people, as well as delegates, was in attendance.
 Because of the usual services and Sunday school services in all of the no session was held Sun day forenoon, but the afternoon was featured by a rousing outdoor pro gram at the Public Forum on Cor tez street. F. c. Rinehart, a lead ing figure in the fight for statewide | prohibition, delivered a one-hour talk in which he expounded all the is- sues at stake and drew applause time and again in his denunciation of the saloon.

Permanent Prosperity" is the sub
ject of an article in the current issue
Of the Saturday Evening Post, by AL
bert J. Beveridge. In part it follows
Why do we not have permanent
prosperity in this country?
There is every natural reason why
we should have it, and not one natural
reason why we should not have it.
Every day we hear of the great ma
terial prosperity the present worldwar
will bring us. With the factories of
other nations shut down, our own
manufacturers will have our market
quite to themselves. With the fields
of other nations trodden down by the
feet of millions Of soldiers, and with
no one to gather even this years harry
est except women, children and gray
boards, the American farmer not only
must feed our own nation but also
must soon furnish food to world in
arms.
And when the cannon cease 10
thunder it will be long before the mills
Of rival countries can start up; long
before foreign manufacturers can reor-
ganize their shattered industrial for
ces: long before they can even begin
to recapture their foreign trade; long
before any financial, industrial and
commercial readjustment can be
brought about that will make them
distributing factors in this new blood
nourished prosperity SO sure to be
ours.
Dubious Advice.
Thus runs the tale we are told; and,
though we are adjured to lament this
tragedy of the nations and to pray
for it's ending. nevertheless we are
advised to make the most of the sit
uation and to fill our pockets while
we can, and as full as we can.
Not one word, however, do we hear
about taking steps to make our pros
perity normal; not a syllable about
making that normal prosperity per-
manent. Yet these are the two really
big questions of purely material ma
ture we ought to settle and must set
tie. These questions were with us be-
fore the war began and will be with us
after the war ends. Indeed, they have
been with us for great many years,
and we have deliberately turned our
faces from them.
Instead of taking them up and settl-
ing them according to the best eco
nomic thought of our own and other
countries, we have let partisan politics
and partisan politicians handle our
business laws as though such statues
were mere pawns in the political game.
In every campaign we have listened to
the bally-hoo men of political parties
trying to outcry one another in get
prosperous-quiok promises. We have
had such bad luck because of this
that, at last, we were beginning to get
down to hard, sound thinking on the
subject of our business laws, which SO
greatly help or hurt healthy and steady
prosperity.
Natural Resources.
without any foreign war, and pure
ly from our natural advantages,
handled in a common-sense manner,
we ought to have a much greater pros

Prosperity Normal -Decries Efforts Of Politicians to
Settle Momentous Problem-Sees Tariff Solution in Nom

perity in the United States than we
ever have had. We are much richer
in fertile fields, in lumber-producins
| forests, in all kinds Of minerals. and
{ indeed, in all the sources Of natural
wealth, than all the countries OF
Europe put together
Compared with their crowded popu-
lations, the United States Is very thin
ly peopled. We should have more
than a billion people in this country
if our population We're az dense as
that of most of the nations now at
war; but we have fewer than one hun
dred million.
What, then, is the matter? The mat
ter chiefly is the senseless. ignorant
and unbusinesslike way our business
laws are made and changed. Fifty
, years from now the economic histor-
ian of the present period will find it
hard to explain why we allowed par
tison politicians to make our business
laws mere pawns in the game of par
tisan politics. Yet that is just what
we have done and are doing. There
are several interesting reasons for
this curious national phenomenon, an
analysis of which the limits of this
article forbid; but, for the sake of a
clear understanding of the whole sub
ject, there are two causes that should
be mentioned:
First, the partisan habit Of mind
that courages-indeed prevents
any real thinking on any subject with
which political parties are supposed
to deal. We see this in the familiar
partisan expression: II always have
voted the Democratic ticket and al
ways shall!" Or: "The Republican
party is good enough for mel" Or:
"Stand by the party of Jefferson!"
Or: Rally to the party Of Abraha m
Lincoln!" and other such meaningless
catchwords and phrases.
Bosses Rule.
Thus the few men who control the
party machinery and really decide
what shall be done under the party
name can count on millions Of voters
supporting anything they do-not be-
cause it is right or wrong, wise or
foolish, but merely because the party
does 1t.
The second reason is our passion for
sudden change and quick results. We
want relief from an unjust law; and
there are enough of us who break
away from the party which passed that
law to give the other party power to
repeal it and quickly pass a new law
even more harmful. Whereupon, again
to get relief. we swing back to the
party that passed the first unjust law
without considering for moment that
the methods by which both laws were
passed were the very same methods.
and were thoroughly unsound-with-
out considering that we shall soon
again swing back to the present de-
pressed conditions of the country
Take the tariff, for example. Five
years ago we allowed a group Of poll
ticians who then and now control the
Republican party to jam through Con-
gress tariff law that was extortion-
ate generally, and prohibitive In parts.

The trail of corruption in the last
Democratic-controlle legislature was
followed by a large and interested au-
dlence Of Centerville voters last night,
being personally conducted on their
trip by Earl Crawford, who as Dem
ocratic representative from Wayne
and Fayette counties, sat in that body.
Gus Hoelscher, Progressive candi'
date for joint representative. also ad-
dressed the meeting, which was pre-
sided over by Thomas Jessup.
Hoelscher promised to be as free,
Independent and conscientious in his
representation of the people of Wayne
and Fayette counties as Crawford had
been, and he said he could promise
no more than this. He spoke briefly on
the tariff, answering the charge that
tariff commission would be unconsti'
tutional by proposing to amend the
constitution. He said that when it was
proposed to have the people directly
elect United States senators the same
argument was advanced but the con.
stitution was amended and next Tues
day the people will select the next sen.
ator at the polls.
Partisanship Curses Nation.
In opening his address Crawford
said that blind partisanship was the
curse of the nation and that in the fu-
ture he would affiliate with no politi.
cal party but would vote for his own
and his family's interests, casting his
ballots for the men he believed best
qualified for the positions they aspired
to. The Importance of such action
had been impressed upon him violent
ly, he said, during his experience as a
member of the 1913 legislature.
Referring to the attack made upon
him by Governor Ralston because OF
his frank criticisms of and charges
against Homer l.. Cook, speaker of the
last house and now Democratic candi'
date for secretary of state, Crawford
dryly remarked, II come to you as a
member of the honorable order OF

of being a horse thief. All of this be-
cause l stood for common honesty.
Ganesters Fight Primary.

the last legislature, was statewide

BASEBALL NEWS

1t was detected looking crowd that
wendell its weary way from the ball
last Sunday afternoon, after seeing the
home team shut out by the score of
IA to 0. The boys seem to have left
their batting eye at home, and one fan
remarked they couldn't have hit bal
loon if it had been tied to the plate.
The game was marked by foolish err
rors. In this respect our boys led the
Cashmere fellows, making eight TO
their four. 1t might be called a COM
edy of errors, except by those who
bet their bottom dollar on the home
team. To them it was more in the
nature Of a tragedy. If you care to
know more Of the details of the sad
story you will find them below:

Color.

Of the light rays that fall upon
an object some are taken up by the
object and others are reflected. 1t
is to the reflected rays that we are
to turn for the explanation of color.
For instance, a sheet of white paper
is "white" because all the seven
kinds of light are reflected from its
surface, while the sunfower is ''yel-
low" because when light falls on it
the violet, indigo, blue and green
rays are selected for absorption,
and yellow principally is reflected.
The reflective rays, received by the
eye, produce the sensation of color.
This is an explanation of nearly
all the colors that exist.

FORECASTS THAT FAILED.
John Jay Said Our Supreme Court
Would Be Failure.

John Jay Said Our Supreme Court
Would Be Failure.
Alexander Hamilton predicted
that the house of representatives
would have "no small advantage"
over the senate in any dispute,
since it would be the popular branch
of the government and because it
would have the power of originat-
ing all money bills--a strong weap-
on in it's hand. But the senate soon
became the dominant partner, and
the house found that the power to
amend money bills exercised by the
senate nullifed the advantage of
originating them.
At the close of John Adams ad-
ministration it is said that John
Jay refused the appointment of
chief justice on the ground that the
bench would never attain "the en-
ergy, weight and dignity which were
essential to its affording due sup
port to the national government"
This forecast John Marshall made
absurd.
When Louisiana was annexed
Senator White remarked in debate
that gentlemen on all sides, with
very few exceptions, agree that the
settlement of this country will be
highly injurious and dangerous to
the United States" and that its in
corporation into the Union would
be productive of innumerable ills"
In 1911, in a speech on bill to
permit the organization of state
from a section of the Louisiana pur-
chase, Representative John Quincy
Adams of Massachusetts asserted
that if the measure should pass "the
bonds of the Union will be virtually
dissolved"
In the thirties Scotchman, Pat
rick Shirreff, made a journey
through the United States and pub
lished the results of his observa-
tons. At that time Chicago was
town of $50 houses. Of its future
the traveller wrote, Chicago will in
all probability attain considerable
size, but its situation is not SO IA
vorable to growth as many other
places in the Union"
In 1862 Lincoln in a message to
congress predicted a population of
100000 for the United States
in the year 1910 and of 1s7,000,-
900 in 1920. The estimate for 1910
was 100000 too great. The diff
Guilty was that the country did not
continue to increase in population
after 1860 in the same proportion
that it had prior to that year.-Ex-
