A NEWSPAPER TRAMP ITEM

Here is poor old newspaper tramp
item, that was created over rs long
years ago that has been going the
rounds ever since, and is new every
so often.
We know the sucker who wrote it.,
but it wouldn't be fair to give him
away this late date.
1t is rumored that certain fasti-
dious young lady of this town kneads
bread with her gloves on. The incl
dent may be peculiar, but there are
others. Now we need bread with our
shoes on. We need bread with our
shirt on. We need bread with our
pants on and unless we can corral a
few of the outstanding accounts that
are on our books we will soon need
bread without darn thing on and the
town will be a Garden Of Eden this
season if collections don't improve
very shortly. Get busy.

The republican party" in Arizona
will never be a republican party until
there are enough people in it who
won't allow those who are republicans
from principle to be led out and shot
at sunrise because they don't agree
with some petty personal fractional
fight. The honest-to-goodness repu-
blican, the one who believes in prln-
ciples rather than persons, has been
bushwacked so often that merely the
use of the party name by some bunch
of political outlaws does not mean
much to him. When all get together
there may be some fight, but not a
personal row for personal benefit.

Sitting Caused the Trouble

By way of charging the children's
vocabulary, the village school teacher
is in the habit Of giving them GER
tain word and asking them to form a
sentence in which that word occurs
The other day she gave the class the
word notwithstanding" There was
pause, and then bright-faced
youngster held up his hand.
"Well, what is your sentence, Tom
my ?" asked the teacher.
"Father wore his trousers out, but
not with standing"

In the Singular

George AIDE, at the Chicago Ath-

sionate panegyric on love.
"Wait till you've married her." said
Mr.. AIDE. "Wait till you've been mar
ried to her fifteen or twenty years.
Then you'll be like Sinnickson.
"Sinnickson's wife looked up from
a novel the other evening and said,
dreamily:
"'I've been thinking, dear, Of our
courtship-those ecstatic days"
"'Humph, said Sinnickson, shaking
his fat, bald head, that ecstatic daze,

The feeling between Phoenix and
Tucson is about Universally Normal
to capital and about in state fair.
Phoenix has advocated moving the
University to Phoenix, moving the
Tempe Normal to Flagstaff and con-
solidating the two schools. Tucson
in retaliation is advocating moving
the capital away from Phoenix and
moving the state fair around to Tue
son, Stafford, Wilcox and other places
having fair grounds. 1t is really an

JUDGE HOPKINS SCORES MORALS SQUADS
METHODS ONCE MORE

Chief Justice Olson of the munic-
ipaI court today showed a disposition
to stand behind Judge. Hopkins de-
cision to refuse to be a party to any
of the frameUp methods employed by
Major Funkhouser's morals squad in
order to get evidence on women of
the underworld.
Following Judge Hopkins action
of yesterday in refusing to fine any
women brought into court by means
of a frameup, the judge today init
mated he would make an .investiga-
ton of the report that several of the
stool pigeons have relations with the
women before they arrest them.
One case of that was found to bear
this out occurred yesterday when
Emma Hall, 1922 N Clark, had been
arrested by stool pigeon.
The woman said that the man had
gotten the evidence by going to a
room with her, staying with her and
then aTTesting her. The stool pigeon
admitted the woman's story was true.
Are you under arrest?" Hopkins
asked the stool pigeon.
NO." said the man.
''Then you ought to be" said Hop
kins," it's shameful when such
things are tolerated in Chicago. 1
won't fine girls that are brought in
on such evidence"
At Funkhouser's Office it was de-
MED that they employed the man or
that they knew him. A report spread
around the hall that there were no
squad out last night.
Around the city hall there was
found much support of Hopkins
action even though Mayor Harrison
and Major Funkhouser expressed the
opinion that it was the beginning of
an open town"
