Relic Discovered by Charles Genung, Described in Republican, Should
 go to Mrs. Shumaker

Trinidad Shumaker, the widow of Jack Swilling, the famous Yavapai countNpioneer. claims the rifle. which Charles B. Genung discovered in the cellar of an abandoned house in Peo- ples' Valley some weeks ago.
 Mrs. Shumaker, who now lives at l36 West Pieo street, Los Angeles, learned Of the discovery of the rifle by reading the account in The Republican.
 It told how Charles B. Genung had communicated the discovery to Thomas F. Weedin, asking how to dispose of the rifle, which is something of a relic. Weedin advised Genung to put it in the Pioneers Museum at Tucson. In let ter to Col Weedin yesterday, Mrs. Shumaker asserts her claim to the gun and asks him to see what can be done about it's disposition.

THE SALOON MUST GO

The brewers, the distillers and the saloonkeepers are all apologizing. They are confessing that conditions are deplorable. They are promising to reform; but they never thought to re- pent until the rising tide of an indig- nant public has threatened the annihil- ation of the whole business. Even un- der such conditions, their greed ob 'scures their vision, and each seeks to shift the blame to the other.
 An Indianapolis brewer recently at tempted to plead guilty for the distil- Ter He sad Beer is really temper ance drink. It is cooling, and is bene- ficial as a food. It is Whiskey that makes the drunkards and the wrecks; that creates the disease known as ap- petite, that fires the passions, frenzies the brain and causes the namelesS crimes and wrongs that are charged without just discernment against the traffic as q whole when they should be charged to the whiskey saloon alone"
 In reply to this. and in defense of his branch of the trade, a Louisville dis tiller entered the following plea of guilty for the brewer: Everyone bears testimony that no man can drink beer safely; that it is an injury to anyone who uses it in any quantity, and that it's effect on the general health is far worse than that of whisky; clogging his liver, stupefying his brain, choking his lungs, and loading his body with dropsied fluids and unwholesome fat. Fastening upon him rheumatism, cry sipelas and all manner of painful and disgusting diseases and finally drag ging him to his grave when other men are in their prime of mental and bod fly vigor.'
 While the traffic. as a whole, con cedes that it is indefensible and each branch of it seeks to shift the respon- sibility to the other, Comforts Wine and Spirits Circular. a liquor journal, confesses as follows: The average
Arizona republican., 1914-08-22

saloon is out of line with public senti- ment. The average saloon ought not to be defended by our trade, but it ought to be condemned. In small towns the average saloon is a nuisance. It is a resort for all tough characters and in the south for idle negroes. It is gen. erally on a prominent street and it is usually run by a sport who cares only for the almighty dollar From this re- sort the drunken man starts reeling to his home. At this resort the local fights are indulged in. It is a stench in the nostrils of society and a dis grace to the wine and spirit trade. How, then, shall we defend the average saloon? We answer Don't defend it, condemn it.
 This confession is fair definition of the saloon. It is a moral leper and social reprobate in any community It is gross, obscene, vulgar and profane. It is the home of gamblers and other criminals, and the resort of prostitutes. Its decorations are immodest, indecent, and suggestive. With these facts be- lcic us tlItlt IS Sioullt, lio room for sentimentalism, no basis for a compromise. The saloon is a place of unadulterated evil. It cannot be made respectable, it must go. The so- called ideal saloon does not exist. It is merely an imagination.
 The presence of saloons does not ad- vance legitimate business. but endang- CTS it; and the absence of saloons, in- stead of injuring business, accelerates it. Nothing can be more fallacious than the theory that dens of vice and crime are essential to business thrift and progress. Dens of vice and crime mean the waste of time, the waste of energy, the waste of industry, the waste of earnings the waste of mental capacity. the waste of moral character and the waste of health. and how can such drains upon natural conditions be conducive to the industrial welfare of the people?
