FRED SPAULD|NG BACK
 AT HIS POST AGAIN
Glad to Be Settled Down at Oxford
 University

1 Mrs. F. H. Parker yesterday re- | ceived letter from Fred Spaulding, her nephew who visited Phoenix in l September, shortly before he left the
 country to return to Oxford Univer- | sity He wrote; Well, at last I'm | back in Oxford and have begun to
 work on my final year. I am not at all sorry to get settled down. Mir. Spaulding had had a yer, l strenuous year. Early in the year he had gone to Belgium to superintend | relief work and remained there until | late in the summer when he returned to the university for short time before returning to America to visit relatives.
 After Aleaving Phoenix he went to San Francisco where he spent a couple of days at the exposition. On his way east he stopped at the Unl- versity of Illinois where he visited a couple of days with Dr Babcock. former president of the University of Arizona during the residence there of MT. Spaulding
 When MT Spaulding left Phoenix he expected to sail on the Orduna, the boat on which he came over, but on arriving in New York he found that the sailing of that vessel had been cancelled and therefore he took
 passage on the Cameronia which sailed week earlier. He was not
 enthusiastic over the boat or it's ac- commodations. He wrote: "I never
 had such a rocking horse of a trip" The voyage was uneventful and the
 weather was fine. No Subma rines
 were sighted, but enc day a ripple
 was sighted at a distance of a mile
 and in consequence there was
 great deal of nervousness on the boat.
 It transpired though that the ripple
 was caused by a whale which was
 harmless and neutral.
 Oxford" writes MT. Spaulding, lis
 little different from last year. Social
 life is almost entirely lacking except
 among the American students" The
 number of students, he says, is about
 500. but whether he refers to the
 entire university or to his college of
 St. Johns he does not state.
 He desires to be remembered to his
 friends in Phoenix.

Picture of Mir. Bryan

Commenting Mir Bryan's criticism of Presi- Democrat Chronicle paints the following portrait of the Nebraska statesman which all who have intelligently followed his twenty-year career will agree is true life:
 Washington of the worlds greatest statesmen Bryan is shallow -braned demagogue whose utterances the of his emotions instead of the product independent mental oper- ations- He has been in public life for twenty years and he has been the wrong side of every great public issue that has up for settlement in the course of that time. He has been the champion Of free silver, of government ownership of railroads, of policy of scuttle in the Philip pines, of the government guaranty of bank de- how many silly minor fads isms.
 Tn view of this glittering of folly and stupidity, it must be confessed that Bryan is fairly entitled to a position of leadership the ranks of the agitators, fanatics, pacifists sentmentalists corn-belt politicians, and disloyal aliens who are mastering to defeat the presidents program Bryan disnterested motives. but he may wake up some day to the painful discovery that has been used as stalking horse by elements most sinister intent whose dearest wish would be gratified if they could see the United States prostrate under the hell of Prussianisrn"

Does a CoIlene Education Pav2

The question necessarily limited to an Inquiry to whether pays the indvidua! who receives community where he receives it where he makes There is a common impression among :he minimizing that the four years spent at college and the money expended are wasted. But depends upon the view as to what is proper payment what is the desirable yesult ef college education.
 In every community. Phoenix. for instance a very large majority of the men whose success is measured by local not college men, The number among business men is negligible There is a larger percentage, but still a small one among lawyers and doctors (by a college education completion O classical course) TEe percentage is largest among clergy as in some denominations a college education is a pre- requisite to pastorate.
 Those who measure the value of an education by the business in ahy community respect lively of coliege-bred men non-colege- bred men, naturally arrive at a conclusion that a college education does pay. They probability that it may every day pay the possessor of it beyond of dollars cents. They miss also. the fact that the possessor of it renders a service to the community he could not other wise discharge.

The Need of Paving

What the taxpayers of the city have consider however. connection with the cost paving. other incidental costs such necessary drainage. curbing, guttering,
 There seems to be pretty general sentiment among the progressive taxpayers this city that paving should be extended There very naturally a decided question their minds as to what is the best paving for various portions of the city Specifications for six classes of paving have been adopted by the city government including hituithic pavement with a five inch concrete base similar to that lad in the center of the city; bituithio pavement with asphaltic concrete base such is being laid south the Central school property was laid a year ago on First avenue, Warrente pavement. four inches in thick ness laid dirt base. such the pavement on Mcdowell road; Topeka pavement, which has been used with great not only in the city of FcTeka but by Texas cities; a concrete pave ncnt similar to that laid south of the city hall. and what is known the "NationaT' pave which has very largely used in Iola Kansas, and is about be laid in cities
 It is probably that all of these pave ments especially adapted certain parts of the city. according to the traffic on specific streets. j.,xsisr.a

 It Is also fact that the people, before adopt ing any kind of pavement, going to be very sure that that specific pavement will give them all the service possible for the amount expended It Is also trealized that fairly large amount of pavement done any time will probably result in bringing greater competition the work ana less cost per foot and the time has cer- sainIv when. wherever possible, the present dirt roads in the residential district should be placed by some>type of substantial pavement.
 Ia order that the people of this city may fully a5is ised the character, durability and cost of these various pavements suggested, The Republican Las been for the past thirty days carrying a careful investigation to the various pavements in other cities and communities where they are i1 use. and in a short time will be prepared to publish a complete tabHlation c investigations that The people be fully advised. they should he of all the facts available connection with this important paving question.

 This subject of the value of a college educa- tion touched upon rather incidentally the other day by President KleinSmd the University of Arizona in address to the students on the Justification of education basis of altruism and service.
 Dr von KleinSmid showed by statistics that only about one cent of the total population the United States have attended colleges. From this 1t would seem that the college should occupy cent. of the prominent positions A refer ence to a cycopedia will show that of the college graduates, of America, in forty is sufficient importance to have biography. only n ten thousand of the college A reference to Who's Who in America" will show that of the s,643 who written up there 6711 are college graduates 965 attended college for a time SS9 graduated from academies normal schools, 239 stopped. with high school training at tended only common schools thirty -one were self educated. .

statute which will provide that in case a mans sentence is commuted from hanging to life Imprisonment, there can be no move to secure his liberation from prison until he has served at least twenty years of his sentence Should this measure be enacted, it will do away with great deal of the opposition to the anti capital punishment bill which comes from those people who object to the usual procedure of some persons at tempting to secure the release of the prisoner after serving a year or SO. If this law is put on the statute books, it will go a long way toward making smooth sailing for the en- actment of the bill which would do away with the death penalty

Murderers of Mesa Marshal Get Life Imprisonment :; Inquiry Into Kermeen $ Sanity Hopeful View of Governor Hunt

At a special meeting of the state board of pardons and paroles held at the penitentiary at Florence yeSter- day, it was decided to commute the sentences of John Tomlin and Atha M Leonard Che youthful murderers of Marshal Hi Peterson of Mesa) to life Imprisonment. The twain had been sentenced to hang on November 26 but a great pressure had been brought to bear on members of the board and on account of the boys youth and also because there were extenuating circumstances in connec- ton with the case it was thought best to change the sentence from hang
 ing to life Imprisonment.
 Tomlin and Leonard were original ly to have been executed on May 22, 1914, but the sentence was pat off several times, both by action of the pardon board and also by the inter ference of Governor Hunt. who is heading the agitation against capital punishment in the state.
 kern1een Gets Reprieve
 Walter Kermeen, the Cochise cOun- ty murderer, was granted reprieve of four weeks, in order tnat the pi lSOil pilN SICietiio IAilSlll nave tAAliN ND hold an inquiry for the purpose of inquiring into his sanity. He was to have been hanged on November 19, but it is said that of late he has been showing marked signs of in sanity, and a delay of his execution was ordered.
 No action was taken by the board on the proposed executions of Will liam F'altin of Phoenix and Ramon VilialObo of Pinal county, scheduled to hang on November 26 and Decem- per 10 respectively, and this is thought to mean that the two con- demned men can expect no further clemency from any source whatever, inasmuch as their crimes were of purely premeditated character, Faltin having dug a grave for his intended victim two days in advance of the murder. Faltin was originally to have been put out of existence on April 1S 1914, and the first date set foI the hanging of Villalobc was January g. 1915. F'altin, it will be remem- bered, was convicted for killing man named Peterson in this city about two years ago.
 The Governors Statement
 Governor Hunt, who has been mak- ing hard fight to save the con demned men from the SallOws, vester- day in commenting on the action of the pardon board in committing the sentences of two of the five men, said:
 q believe there is a growing sen timent among the citizens of this state against capital punishment, and this action of the board will meet with popular approval. It is probable that there will soon be enacted

KENTUCKY SUSPECT
 PROBABLY NOT HENRY
How Story of Running Him Down
 Got Started

\ story spread on the streets yes terday morning that Sid Henry, alias Henry Sidney Green, had been cap tured in Kentucky near the Tennes see line. It had it's origin in the fact that a call was made upon suO scribers to the reward fund. It was brought out that the sheriffS office had been apprised that a man be- lieved to be Henry was under sur veiiiance and had been watched for several days in the southern part of Kentucky near the Tennessee line. No attempt has been made to arrest the suspect and though the sheriff at the other end believes he is Henry,
 it is the belief of Sheriff Adams that he is not the man. This belief is based on the fact that the sheriffs office has been in possession of in formation which if correct would in- dicate that Henry is in a differen, part of the country.
 According to the information from
 Kentucky, the suspect has been in the locality where he now is, for several days. He is accompanied by woman who he says is his wife and they are engaged in the work of establishing lodges of some kind in that neghborhood.
 It is not thought that Henry would be so engaged That kind of work would be too slow for a man of his talents. He was not a lodge man while in Phoenix and he took very little interest in secret orders
 I. is known that the wife of Henry is not in Kentucky, and Henry, with whatever other faults he may have, is not believed by those who know him best to be given to gallivanting about the country with strange women.

Umcem@@red Sense and Nonsense
(By Remlik)

It kinder Sorter seems to me
 That the race is wearing out l That we have set the pace too fast And cannot go the route
 l For instance, on the Railways
 In this hurried land of ours 1 We dine in twenty minutes l While in France they take two hours.
 In nearly everything we do ] Our records We try to smash | By "hurrying up'' with everything
 In an effort to grab the cash.
 If We should slow little down
 The break would even be
 And we would add a score of years
 To our longevity.
 Ours is a land of hurry Where we have to rush things | through
 Or some one else will beat us
 And that would never do. Pray tell me. what's the use Of this l This needless rush and hurry 1 That plants us where the daisies grow l When we are dead from worry 1 If we'd go slow a little while ] Wed last a whole lot longer | Our lives would know some happiness 1 And posterity would grow stronger 1 I cannot do this thing alone But if .twere universal | I'd gladly cast my little vote l For a hurry up" reversal l guess we all would ease up some If other folks would do it 1 But we're so awfully darned afraid Some one will beat us to it. Aint it the truth and why DON'T We cut out this rush and push and jam and hurry, why, it makes. men dishon- est-honestly it does With fifty men rushing after something that they all want badly, don't you know that they are going to all of them lie like dogs
 in order to obtain it? You know they would, even if they never told a lie before-which of course is highly inn probable.
 Another thing-we have. by some body or other been allotted a life of three score years and ten.'' Well, we're not a gettin' it-we'rc croakin' right along at forty five or fifty these days, and it's all wrong. We're living too high and were living too fast and we cant stand the pace. Please let's ease up little-Tm tired right now and want to quit a while blame near got mine already If you're in some kind of business and lay off spell the other fellow is gong to put a chunk under you, so you see everybody in the United States has got to be in on it when we start 2 thing like that-so l may as well give It up-only it OUGHT to be done.
