The absorbing capacity Of the Ameri
can people, from financial standpoint
was not quite equal to taking in half a
billion dollars worth of Anglo-French
bonds in six months, but there were con-
tributing causes which led to the only
martial success of the loan. One OF these
causes was the active hostility OF pro-
German supporters; another was the
natural repugnance of many American
people to the idea of contributing in any
way to the awful slaughter of the war;
a third was the timidity of many inyes-
tors at time when the Anglo-French
success seemed far in the future, il not
absolutely in doubt; still fourth cause
might have been the feeling that the
United States might itself put out a
bond issue to meet the extra demands
likely to be occasioned by new defense
policy and that the holding Of American
security was preferable to foreign. Per-
haps. too, there were other causes of
more local nature. Taken together, the
causes were powerful enough to cause
two-fifths of the S500,0Oo,0O0 TO be left
in the hands of the underwriters. Event
ually that balance viii be taken up, but
slowly unless there is more evident
reversal in the fortunes of war in favor
of the entente allies, of whom France
and Great Britain form the major part.
Had the loan been for the United States
government, money would have tumbled
over itself in an effort to participate in
the loan.

Ripping Rhymes By Walt Mason
VOICE OF SPRING

The gentle rains are falling, the voice of Spring is calling, Get busy, sons of men. old Winters shed his garment, and every living Varmint should look alive again." Get busy with your knit ting, This is no time for sitting and dreaming by the stove; all Nature is eXclaimng, the idle trifler shaming, The Springtime has arrove," The old gray hen is cackling. for once again she's tackling her great time -honored stunt; she. in her lowly station helps out the hungry nation, as for the eggs We hunt. The mule works in the collar until the galled spots hollor for drivers healing salVes; the cows are softly singing, as from the woods they're bringing tall. long-legged calves. It is the time for toiing. that pots may al be boiling when Winter comes again; 1t is the time enchanting when We pre- pare for .planting busy, sons o men. The voice of Spring is urging, Fl is the time for splurging," so tenderly she si2hs: shake off the sloth of Win ter and hustle like a sprinter who's trotting for a prize.'

AS to Home Industry

The Mesa Tribune announces that t lis in favor of merchants sending away from home for their printing than it is in favor of people trad ing away from home when local dealers prepared to supply their needs" The Tribune has particular reference to advertisement of the 'Toggery,' the great of Mesa occupying several pages of Tho Republican d few days ago.
 It have required the exercise of the part of the Tribune to indulge in censure of q local mercantile establishment which has fur nished and still furnishing it approximately half of all it's advertising patronage. The Tribune lost Tho Republican,. It advertisement that could designed to call the attention of the people, of only the Mesa vicinage, but of the whole valley. various lines standardized goods of national repu- tation. Obviously, advertisement of that kind the Tribune would have served the "Tog- eery's' purpose. Since it the people of the val ley, without, as well as within the Tribunes sphere of influence that it desired to reach, it was necessary print the advertisement the valleys newspaper Moreover, the Tribune without the necessary mechanical equipment to produce such an adN ertisement
 We do not yield to the Tribune in adherence to the motto: "Patronize Home Industry" Yet. If merchant a deitist a blacksmith and local citizen who had been q liberal pa iron of desired buy a piano, we would not insist that he forego that pleasure because we did not happen to carry pianos in stock
 If merchant handling a general line including windmills, and a neighbor desired to buy threslng machine, we would not feel hurt if he should decline to compromise with windmill.

WHY MIR. BlRRELL WALKED OUT

Augustine Birrell former chief sec retary of Ireland, has described an amusing experience he had at the house of d famous doctor
 'I was persuaded that | was smit- ten with a mortal disease" he said. and l started on d journey to con- suit q distinguished doctor who lived in the neighborhood of Harley street. It was a hot day in July, and I thought the time was come to take my last walk. I walked from my house and found the great physicians room crowded with patients.
 While waiting I found on the table book written by the great physician on the particular disease. opened the book. and the first words which I caught my eye were these: The patient who is suffer- ing from this disease never perSpires'
 That obviously didn't apply to me so I picked up my hat and gloves and walked out, and l have never seen that eminent physician from that day to this,"-Pearson's Weekly.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
MT. JONES CAN SERVE IF ELECTED

To remove any possible doubt con-
 corning my candidacy for city commis-
 sioner the following brief statement is
 made: My name was presented in the
 primaries and is now being urged for
 election by those who believe l can be
 of service to the city and it's people in
 having and maintaining good govern
 ment l said to them and now say to
 voters:
 There are no reasons why l cannot.
 with perfect propriety, serve on the city commission. If elected 1 will serve all of the people faithfully and fairly, using my best efforts to enhance our growth and prosperity: encourage the promotion of efficiency and the prac ticc of economy in city affairs. Partisanship and personalities should be forgotten in selecting officers and employees-ability and honesty should be the standard.
 Cooperation or team work is essen tial in the successfully conduct of any business, and the administration of the affairs of a city is a big business and if selected to act as city commission CT l shall do all within my power to create such spirit in Phoenix. Respectfully submitted F. A. JONES.

The Country is Watching Phoenix

Many a state election has been held which has not been awaited with the interest with which the country is awaiting the result of the municipal con test in Phoenix next Tuesday. Some say that the oofnmission- manager form of government is on trial That is not the case; the country is not likely to accept the of the people of this city on SC great a question. It is the people, the voters ot Phoenix, who on trial
 It is gcne1alv agreed by who have made study of municipal matters that the commission manager form, with full authority and responsibility vested in the manager is the most advanced sys- tenn of city government These men are not want ing to know whether. in the opinion of our people our form IS a good one, but they want to know whether we are ready and qualified for such high type of government. whether we have emerged from the old common council, ward system of pol ties stage too prematurely.
 The count of the votes Tuesday night will let the country know. If the amendments, putting into the hands of the commissioners the power which the charter leaves with the city man ascr, the business manager, are adopted it will be known that prepared yet only for the od common council machine politics type of govern Inent for that will be the kind will have The fact that we may thereafter call it the commission manager plan will make it for it will be the
 
 form than we ever knew it.
 We printing this morning day letter from the city manager of Dayton, Ohio showing what the commission manager plan has done for that city. The Dayton plan is somewhat different from ours but the difference is not fundamental or es- scntial The charter there made to fit very large city while ours was made fit smaller It is not therefore that the Dayton charter is better than ours If it has been given better and more and honest application there that is to the credit of the people of Dayton rather than to any
 The people of Dayton took q supreme interest in the election of commission and they have since held their faith in their charter determined that it shall for them all that they expected it to ac- ccmplish when they adopted it.
 Showing the great interest throughout the coun try that is being taken in the struggle print ing elsewhere a communication received from the National Short Ballot Organization of which Pres dent Wilson is the president and which includes :n it's membership the of such Lawrence r. Abbot. Henry J. Ford Norman Hapgood. Win sion Churchill, William Allen White John Mitchell and Clinton K. Woodruff
 If the people of Phoenix decide Tuesday go back; to confess that they unable to make use of the commission manager form of government and fit to be ruled only by machine politicians, will be a good advertisement for Phoenix.

MINE OWN LAND

When the docks grow dln iii the distance. And we strain the eye Co see
 The forms love,
 And far above The Goddess of Liberty Slips into the mist and the silence; When the sharp, cold winds arise And the seas are angry and active Beneath the darkening skies. When all behind us is calling And all that's beyond unplapned
 And the clouds lie low,
 It is then 1 know That l love you-inine own land. In an idle hour of rejoicing. When allen skies are clear
 And wondrous bright,
 And in their light We gladly find good cheer; When music is vaIiantly voicng Our rapture to the sky, And foreign faces are friendly. I suddenly start and cry There's change in the tone of the music hear from the distant band,
 With touch of pain.
