SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH p, 1914
The good or the bad fortune of men depend not less upon their own dispositions than upon fortune.
 La ROchefOucauld.
The Appointees

The corporation of Phoenix has chosen board of directors who will meet shortly to make up an official list for the actual conduct of the eitys bus Our directors have generally assured US that they have favorites for appointment to this list that they are or an open mind and that when the proper time comes they will favor for officers those men whom they think can better do the things that will be for them to do than any other men, that the politics, religion and personal relations of applicants for appointive positions will not be taken into consideration.
 In times past, those who worked energetically and effectively for the election of officer to position which gave him power Of appointment, be- lieved that they had the first call The public too. generally took that view of the Merit and qualification secondary wholly negble mat ters. But hope have come intf new era when those who display extraordinary interest at the polls will be working for the people and not for candidates and they will expect their reward in the shape of good government and not in the form of office with or less fat salary.
 Any system of government leaves the elected official still with sense of gratitude toward those who contribute conspicuously to his success but We believe that our mayor and commissioners have such clear understanding of their relation to the people under the commission form of government that they will feel that they are under obligation to nobody but the people; that the people want no one in office because of any political service he iias performed only because of the business service he is capable of performing.
 Such a proper attitude of the mayor and com missioners toward applicants for appointive offices is made the easier by reason of the fact that no three of the elected officials majority of them, are under obligation any worker or to the work CTS of any particular set. Thus the matter of dis regarding the workers and agreeing upon really capable appointees is greatly smplified.
 In speaking of the appoinees we have in mind all of them. The mayor and commissioners can ap- point only them directly. The city manager will make all the other appointments. But he will be left with freer hand if the mayor and com missoners do not try influence his judgment and action.

A Matter of veracity

Before become excited and take sides in the heated controversy between Speaker Champ Clark and the officers of the National Voters League. over the vote lately taken in the house on the question of referring the Muhal investigation resolution to house judiciary committee, We should consider that while either side may be wrong both may be sincere. The record showed that Speaker Clark counted the ayes. (and his friends are willing to that they saw him counD and there were only twenty three affirmative votes, huhoer which notwithstanding its talsmanic character was not sufficient "skiddoo' the resolution to the committee. Some bystanders thought there were more ayes than that, and on the authority of Pro- lessor Charles zublen it was publicly stated that there were forty-seven ayes. Speaker Clark indlg- nantly replied that any man who said there were more than twentythree affirmative votes on the question was liar and in peril of certain lake or fire and birthstone.
 It seemed to the voters league that there was way settle this controversy and, accord ingly inquiry addressed to every member of the house that memorable occasion of the vote the resolution, as to whether he Voteo' and if so, how he voted. Forty-seven members replied they had voted for the reference of the resolution Apparently the speaker was in hole' Of course he stood the record, but even the record had been assaed. But there were the forty seven replies to the inquiries Zublein on the face of things had been sustained There longer any question as to his veracity. He was eliminated from the controversy and it is now participated Tn only by the speaker side and the twenty four members exclusive of the twenty three whose cOunted).
 At first blush may think that the speaker has been put up against it, but then, We recall the tendency in general to say that they will or have voted way when matter of fact. they intend to vote have voted. another.

THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE

C e Come live with me, and be my love And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves and hills and fields Woods or sleepy mountain yields. And We will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherd feed their flocks By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee beds of roses. And a thousand fragrant posies: A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle. A gown. made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull: Fair lined slippers for the cold. With buckles of the purest gold. A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love The shepherd swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning. If these delights thy. mind may move Then live with me. and be my love.

his pride was hurt, for only a few days
before his victory, Gen. Carranza, the
first chief of the constitutionalists,
had ordered Gen. Natera to command
the central division of the constitu-
tionalist army, with instructions to
attack Zacatecas. .
Gen. Natera with 5000 troops at
tackled the city, and although he is a
great general and his men. devoted to !.
him, he was not equal to the occasion,
for the federals with II, 900 men not
only put up good defensive tight,
but when they learned of Netra's
strength came out in the open and in
a few hours drove Natera's army back
to Fresnilla, with heavy losses:
1t was then that Gen. Carranza
called on Gen. Villa and ordered him
to rush to Materials aid Gem Villa
fatty refused to fight under Natera.
Gen. Carranza, seeing his blunder,
ordered Villa to attack Zacatecas as
ranking general of the central divi-
sion, which Villa did, and in less than
two days took the town, killing 5000
federals and taking 1000 prisoners,
and capturing most OF the federal
guns and ammunition.
Dead and dying were everywhere,
blood ran in the streets, cries of the
wounded came from all sides. 1t was
a sight shall never forget. Men beg
ging to be shot to end their suffer-
ings; here and there a mother clasp

whom had been killed when the iend-
ish federals, without thought of limo

building in their mad fight.
Their only chance to save their
cowardly skins lay in retreating over
the roadway to Guadalupe, Familiarity
known as the Guadalupe Road" But
Gen. Villa was to be reckoned with.

there were 5000 dead federals. Many
places it was almost impossible to
walk dozen rods without stepping

HOW TO TELL A GOOD CIGAR

A well-known cigar expert has
been dispelling some popular miscon-
ceptions about the fragrant weed. He
alluded to the belief that the whittier
the ash and the longer it holds on,
the better the cigar. That is quite
wrong, he pointed out. The length of
the ash depends on the size of the,
pieces used in the filler, and clear
steel-gray ash denotes the best
Havana.
Then, again, nearly every man will
reject spotted cigar, but the spots
mean absolutely nothing as regards
quality.
Most men think they can tell a
cigar by squeezing it or smelling.
Neither test is the slightest good. And
every smoker believes that color de-,
notes strength-that a dark wrapper
denotes strong cigar, light one
mild cigar. The color has nothing
whatever to do with the strength.
AS matter of fact, for the average
smoker there are practically no out
ward indications Of the quality of a
cigar. The only test for the non-ex-
pert is in smoking it. $3.50

The military effect has kept the
eapes STRONGLY in evidence and the
cape used for evening wear in the IL
lustration is one made of Petrograd
blue broadeloth. and lined with a deep
rich crimson. The fur collar is made
of kolinsky, a Russian mink which
closely resembles. sable.
Another evening frock of white faille
silk has tulle tunic with band
around the bottom of white satin rib
bon. This tunic is but little shorter
than the satin underskirt, which is
edged with a fringe of glass beads
two inches wide.
The sailor hat is very smart, but is
changing little in shape. Now the
right side is slightly narrower than
the left and the crown is shallower.
Some of the small hats look like the
hats of an early Victorian period of
seventy years ago. Small and perched
on the top of head whose couture is
pulled away from the ears they are
distinctly quaint. Even the streamers
are reappearfng in modified way,
and are to be seen on small sailors
and toques alike.
