Richard Mansfield and "a Pair of
Sixes.''


Sixes.'
Richard Mansfield, the famous
actor, once told his advance agent to
be modest in his superlatives in de-
scribing his productions in advance,
as there was danger in exciting the
anticipation of theatergoers to such
a high degree that they might be
disappointed when they say the play.
Those who recall the splendor of this
great artists masterful productions,
will doubtless agree that this advice
was hardly necessary in this case, for
Mansfield lived up to the very highest
standard of his promises to the pub
lie. The wisdom of Mansfeld's adj
vice appeals to the advance chronicler
of "a Pair Of Sixes,' which comes to
the opera house October 1st.
1t is impossible to quote from any
of the criticisms in the New York city
newspapers regarding the success and
merit of this farce without INDUCING
in superlatives. Metropolitan critics
are not, as rule, exuberant in their
opinions, and there is hardly an in
stance on record where they have
given such unbridled expression of
satisfaction as they have to the fun
and charm of this delightful play.
But It has measured up to this su-
prene praise everywhere, and has
duplicated in Chicago and other cities
the furore of pleasure created in New
York.
Just to quote one paragraph, in
evidence, from the New York Times:
There are not many adjectives left
to adequately describe the heartiness
of its quality as entertainment"

George Harbin, assistant Attorney

George Harbin, assistant Attorney General of Arizona, arrived in King man Wednesday last to defend the case of Frank L. Hunt against the county of Mohave, a suit to test the constitutionality of the salary law passed by the last legislature. The law, if upheld by the Supreme Court. will fix the salaries of the officers of the county until the legislature sees fit to make a change in them. Under the law Mohave county has population of LOGO, and no matter if it reached 100, 900 under this law it would still be 400O. And if it did change automatical- ly by reason of larger population the officers would have their salaries re- duced, instead of being raised; that is if they pre- sided over a larger county they would have their pay cut down. The fact of the matter is that each legislator classified his county accord ing to his likes and dislikes of the men in county offices, and this condition should be rectifed. w. E. Moroney is presenting the case for MT. Hunt.

Probate .6l
 Civil cases now untried between 400 and 800. This was made out about June 18th. The clerk further states that the civil cases are being filed at about two per day, and are disposed of at the rate of one per day, owing to the criminal, probate and other cases disposed of. So the civil business is accomplishing at one per day with 400 to 500 remaining to be tried.
 It will be seen that juvenile cases have increased from 34, in 1914, to Al, in 1915; insane from 2S in 1914 to 36 in 1915. Of course there can be no prohi- bition on the Grim Reaper, but even deaths, or rather probating of estates, show an increase.
 It is alleged in Kansas, that under the prohibitory laws of that state juve- nile cases have grown alarmingly, and that insanity is also increasing at the rate of eight per 100, 900 of population per year over that of Missouri, a wet state adjoining. The reason for in crease of insanity is stated to be the doped booze that is peddled out by the bootleggers to people who have strong appetite for stimulants. And Kansas also shows an abnormally high rate of suicide, which may also be traced to the doped booze.
 Now, it must be accepted as true that more than ninety per cent of mis- demeanor crimes are traceable to booze, and ''dry" states have few of that class of crime, but Kansas and Maine, two of the oldest prohibitory states of the Union, have a larger percentage of felony crimes that such states as New York and Pennsylvania. Maine and Kansas are pastoral countries, while New York and Pennsylvania are min ing and manufacturing, where all classes of people from southern Europe have congegrated, and where crime is sure to follow their advent. Maricopa county is following the rule that ap- pears to obtain in the "dry" states and shows just as many crimes for the attention of the higher courts as when booze was peddled over the bars.

No Prohibition on Crime.

In putting before the legislature a plea for an additional judge of the Superior Court of Maricopa county the people of that county had prepared by the clerk of the court, under his seal, a statement of the number of cases un- tried, filed, etc. for the term ending May, 3l, 1915, and comparison with the same months of 1914. The show ing made in this statement has more than county wide interest, as it shows that in no instance has crime decreased under the prohibitory law, but that conditions are really worse. We give the statement as presented to the legis- lature:

interested visitors, showing that the
public is desirous of learning of the
many advantages of the parcel post.

DELAYED LEGISLATION
CAUSES LARGE WASTE

Washington, Sept. 29.-Vast gov
ernmental operations involving the
expenditure of more than one hun
dred million dollars were practically
paralyzed for over month last year
by failure of the Democratic Congress
to properly enact necessary legisla-
ton.
The "tie-up" was paramount to a
strike with hundreds of thousands of
men idle, according to government
officials charged with expenditure of
the funds controlled by the legisla-
ton. The amount was contained in
what is popularity termed the sun
dry civil" bill. In order to carry out
the plans on which it was based, the
bill had to be passed by June 80. 1t
did not pass until more than month
later. For the intervening time none
of the future work contemplated in
the legislation could be started.
1t would take hundreds of pages
to describe the disastrous results of
this needless delay. Only mere
hint can be given of the activities the
"sundry civil bill provided for. 1t
is one of the largest supply bills Con-
gress handles, and included nearly
four million dollars for improve
ments and maintenance of soldiers
homes; two and half millions for
the protection of public health; seven
millions and more for keeping up life
saving stations and light houses; over
one million for fortifcations on the
Panama Canal; over three and half
millions to enable the Interstate Com
merce Commission to continue the
physical valuation of railroads and
other important activities; more than
thirteen millions for building quar-
antine stations, hospitals and other
public buildings heretofore author
lied; and numerous other less strik-
ing features.
1T is imperative that funds for
purposes like this shall be made
available with the beginning of the
fiscal year. said government Of
fetal in discussing this subject. "Ev-
cry days delay after that is nearly
total loss. Funds really ought to be
ready by May l of each year; but
to fail to provide them by July /,
and have to resort to resolutions con-
tinuing old appropriations as Con-
gress was forced to do in this instance
is sheer waste.
From ten to fifteen per cent of the
amount of an appropriation is a total
loss if it is not passed before July l.
If the money wasted in delayed ap
preparations during the last four
years could be made available now,
we would not need to be devising
ways and means to replenish the
treasury. The waste would probably
more than cover the estimated def
icit."
The crime of delaying action on
appropriation bills was emphasized
by the Democrats in the recent spring
session of Congress. Within thirty
six hours of the time for adjourn
ment only two relatively unimport-
ant appropriation bills had been en-
acted. Yet in the brief hours before
noon of March 4, the enormous sum
of about one billion dollars was au-
thorized to be expended.
This performance was an appro-
pirate close to record of misman-
agement that is unparalleled in the
history of our government.
