The news was told first to a group Of

honor yesterday afternoon, by Mrs.
Frank De Souza, a sister of Mr.. Tower.
The De Souza residence, 1916 West

profusion Of cut flowers and greenerY

the feature of the afternoon, the as

and delightful announcement.

President Wilson's Prospects

The impression is quite general that it is the
purpose of Mr.. Bryan to oppose the denomination
Of President Wilson and that his opposition will
manifest itself Enthusiastically the approaching
session of congress. His statement in reply the
presidents Manhattan Club address is regarded
challenge a which will be precipitated
when the president lays his national defense plan
which he outlined his speech New York, before
congress.
Just powerful will be the influence of Mr..
Bryan in the congress which will assemblies
month 5 ; of doubt, but it is certain that
ii was powerful in the last congress that many
OF the presidents would have been
enacted without the asserting nod of Mr.. Bryan
democratic congressman.
Unless members have changed their minds,
Bryan's influence among the democrats will be
less than a year two years Though
several democratic congressman have since been
placed. they were few of them. Bryan democrats
Representative Ktchin who is a strong adherent of
Mr.. Eryan and of the leaders of the majority
in the house, has already announced his opposition
the defense program. The reticence of many
other leaders 20 discuss ominous. 1t only
initely shows that they do yet share the n
thusiasm the president.
The presiden, it Is understood advocates changes
the tariff in preparation for peace, measure
hardly vital than preparation for ard the
need OF which is imminent a commercial
invasion by Europe will follow closely upon the
heels of war. The president has announced that
sugar viii be placed the free list May 1
year under the authority granted the ad-
ministratlon by the Underwood bill. Presumably,
president viii recommend amendments increas-
ing the duties many articles. Mr.. Bryan, who
is a free trader rather than tariff for revenue
advocate with the traditions of the democratic party
behind him. may be expected to oppose any inter
with the tariff fixed by the last congress.
The president, therefore, is likely have diff
ficult within his party in congress He
need despair however of tariff and defense
legislation if he command large minority
IF his party in congress, for the republicans would
doubtless come to his assistance in sufficient
number But such victory as their aid might en-
able the president win might be his political
doing and might strengthen the hands OF Mr.. Bryan
IN his chief aim, limiting the Presi-
dent Wilson's office a single term, he tried
limit Baltimore by the inclusion OF the single
plank in the national platform
a victory by the president with the aid of
republican congressman would create anti-admin-
istration sentiment in of congressional dis
tricts and would almost certainly affect the per-

Tucked away among expressions of
SoOd will toward the community that
appreciated his desire for restful at
mosphere, and gratitude for express
sions of that good will from repre-
sentative speakers, Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall last night, with
frank reluctance, avowed his belief
in preparedness against war. Mr..
MarshalTs confession seemed to be
brought out of him not so much Ivy
his own desire to give voice to his
views, as by the trend of the speeches

in the Adams banquet hall to bic
him au revoir. Everybody had some

manner in which Mr.. Marshall was
going TO be concerned il one of the
wars most vitality interesting cOnse-
quences-to this country. at least.
Preparedness must be against and
not for war, and must be conserva-
tive enough to preserve this fact
Mr. Marshall said:
Il ought not say anything about
this. l am myself, a man of peace.
l am hopeful that out of the con
flict being waged across the water
will come a newer and higher con-
ception of life. I hope men Will

and politics (Which ought not to

Some hold that to prepare for
war is to bring about war. But
preparations for war on our part will
not mean that war will come to us.

NO COMMISSION PLAN
OF SELLING MOTORS
Plan Used in Many Cities Worked
Out Here For Fair Week BY
George Hageman.

George Hageman is again getting
into the limelight. This time he is
staging a philanthropic second hand
automobile selling stunt. George has
received permission from the powers
that be to use portion of East
Adams, between Second and Third
streets, next week for the purpose Of
displaying secondhand cars for sale.
George has few cars of this kind
himself that he is willing to ex-
change for cash, and says he be-
lieves that there are several others
in town similarly fixed. To all such
he has issued an invitation to join
him in this sale, which is unique in
that no commission will be charged
by the promoter, neither will there
be any charge for space. The sale
will open Monday morning.

Come to the Fair

Though the fair is a Phoenix institu-
ton Phoenix and the Salt River Valley undoubtedly
receive greater benefit from it than any other
section of the That is the result of the acct
dent of location and design In return for
this benefit rather, year anticipation of
this benefit, the merchants of Phoenix contribute
literally in way another the fair Some
times perhaps, their contributions exceed the direct
financial returns but indirectly and slowly the fair
helps the city and therefore, whole valley
The people of the valley, them rest under an
obligation to do for the fair than the peope
of any other part of the They can discharge
this obligation easily in way. Every man,
and woman in the valley not prevented by physical
disability should attend the least one day
in the week. 1t will be worth more than the ad-
mission fee 1t will be the best fair held in
Arizona. There will be better exhibits
There will be more attractions. The fair will be
more worth seeing than any fair ever held in the
state.

do anything to encourage matrimony and child

After stating that he agreed with the theory of
Nautilus, that population tendency to increase
faster than the means to support it." Professor
Johnson said further:
4 believe that the awful war over in Europe is
being fought because human race has de-
liberatey refused the of his doctrines
which were taught hundred years ago"
1t is by surprising that one of the
members of the committee questioned the serious
ness of Professor Johnsons utterance but the COM
mittee was assured that remarks were to be
taken literally

instructors make statements like those attributed to

MARSHALL IS FOR PRESIDENT
AND CONSERVATIVE SORT Of
PREPAREDNESS FOR PEACE

European nations in their own
mighty preparation for war. He did
not think they we've merely getting
ready to safeguard their own integ-
rity, or their commerce upon the
seas.
america must not seek aggran-
dizement. We proved by our atti-
tude toward Cuba and toward the
that we merely want to be let
alone
Very emphatically, the vice presi-
dent concluded his remarks on pre-
paredness thus:
1.-THE world will not believe our
preparation is for war. 1t will know
our preparation is for peace"
The Bouquets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall, who was
quoted by her husband, affirmed
their delight over their selection of
Salt River valley as their residence
during part of each year. Il like
the people here because they are not
people of repose. Arizonanans are
seekers after the truth. If you have
not tried everything, it is not be-
cause you lack any of the qualities
of the seeker after truth, but be-
cause you lack a little imagination.
l do not quarrel with your initiative,
referendum, recall. or statewide pri-
maries It is more important the
kind of people YOU are, than the
sort Of political machinery you en-
ploy."

spring the burro story, he learned

one, its chief interest lay in the fact
the congressman actually did find a
way to work it in.
He first called upon Judge Joseph
Kibbey. as a former Indianan, to
worldly the cordial regard in which
Phoenix and the valley hold the dis
tinguished guests. Judge Kibbey first
struck the Moses staff upon the
rock of the presidents reluc-
lance, to bring forth the water of
his important ideas on preparedness.
THE United States has a higher
mission than war. Peace without
justice. however would be dishonor-
able. We are here to bid God-speed

over the council that will determine
this nations attitude with regard tC

Mr.. Marshalrs broader Americanism
lad endeared him to the nation, as
his neighborliness had made him

Bishop Atwood striving, as he
said. to fill the brooches of Governor
Hunt, said this was a case where

state He had been called upon to
speak in place of the governor, who
could not be present. Wittily, he
departed-but upon the departing
guest, whose good humor, democracy,
with a small initial, and whose rec
ognition of the religious urge, COM
bined to make him worthy of the
present remarks.
Carl Hayden introduced the vice
president as Arizona's third repre-
sentative in the L. S. senate.
About two hundred guests were
present at the reception and dinner.

Ume@ms@red Sense
and Nonsense
By REMLIk

~ muse udyS IN AROMA,
They have dwindled quite away,
When an honest, needy CRATER
Could get an honest play.
They are here in Vaster number
Than they used to be before,
Ihough they cannot get the action
That they could in days of yore.
Now the merchant and the butcher,
And the farmer too, l troW,
Have got the CRATER hoodooed,
And they're not so bloomin' slow.
When a CRATER gets a sucker
And would angle for his dough,
me sucker often skins him
Which he didn't long ago.
No, it amt cause we're more honest
That the grafters aren't in sight;
It's because we all are wiser
That we do the CRATER. right.
For we're all little CRAFTY,
And we'd sting a man, perchance,
If to make an honest getaway
We had a livin' chance
And it's thus that graft has faded
And that schemes go by inspiring
For we keep the grafters guessing,
Watching out they don't get
stung
Now, l am not pessimistic,
And this poem, 1 should say,
Was inspired by a circus
That 1 went to yesterday.
