COUNTY LINE NOW
 AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
(By B. F. Fly)


 County Attorney Colman and Assist ant County Attorney Molloy are in Phoenix, taking testimony in the boundary line case of the county ot Yuma vs. the County of Maricopa, which embraces strip of land about 3 miles wide running across the entire length of the county-north and south.
 The matter has been in controversy between the two counties for many years, but this is the first real at. tempt that has ever been made to definitely settle it. If Yuma county wins the suit, it will be that much added to what we already have; if we lose, Maricopa gains nothing more than title to what they already hold.
 In addition to the suit now being so vigorously pressed by Attorney Colman and MollOy, there is still, an other suit now about to be tried that will also definitely settle this same vexing question. It is the Molina mur- der case tfat occurred near Caliente Springs. The defendant was in dicted in Maricopa county. His at torneys have set up the claim that if the crime was committed at all that it was in Yuma county-therefore they demand the liberation of theN de fendant on the grounds that the of fense was not committed in the county as alleged.
 Therefore, we have two chances to win this important strip of land, a strip traversed for many miles by the Sante Fe railroad.
 w. H. Elliott finished a survey oi the line yesterday and reports thai the strip of land belongs to Yuma county, beyond all question. He left for Phoenix last night, where he will be valuable witness in both cases He has contended for many years that the three-mile strip belongs to Yuma county and is now ready and prepar 1 ed to make good his contentious.

GIANT IF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC IS BEING TED BY TIE L|LuPUT|ANS

When Gulliver awoke in the land of Liliput, to whose shores his ship had been driven by a storm, according to the we'll known account by Dean Swift, he found himself roped and staked to the ground by innumerable gos- samer strands, whose com bined strength was such, how ever, as to cause him quite a struggle to free himself. Had he not awakened when he did, he would surely have been a prisoner to the Lilipu- tians, says the Tucson Citi- zen.
 An Associated Press dis patch to the Examiner on Monday says that the United States supreme court has ruled that person who ships liquor from one state to an other without labelling it, in violation of the federal law, may be prosecuted in either the state in which the snlp- mellt originates, or to which it is sent.
 This decision, ln itself, is apparent ly trivial, at least so far as the roping and tying of the giant of the liquor traffic is concerned, but enough ot these gossamer strands will make that giant a prisoner beyond the avail of his most violent struggles. Day by day, week by week the Liliputians are tying their cords over him. They have got one arm and leg secured already and have passed several big strands across his neck
 A county goes dry under local op tion here and ten saloons are put out business; the majority against prohi bition is reduced in Ohio, the brew cries of Missouri find their trade ter ritory becoming circumscribed, a state goes into the dry column Chats an other of Gulliver's fingers), the big saloon in Rodeo is obliged to quit only cenuous strands, but they all count
 Of course the giant is not deeply asleep. In his dreams he realizes that Ssomething is happening to him, Dul he has not the power to rouse him. self In his tossings he may free an arm, but the Liliputians return to the task

WOODROW WILSO IS A RECOMMENDED
 AMERICAN

III tIllS ldllQ Ol lICCUOIll, free speech and action is a priceless heritage. A man may criticise a neighbor or a judge on the bench, or even the President of the United States, and not violate any law, so long as he sticks to the truth-or, he may even be mistaken in his opinions, that may only reflect his own judgment, which other Americans are not compelled to accept.
 A man may be honestly in the wrong in the exercise of his right of free speech.
 A case in point, showing clearly the proper attitude of the broadN Jed American toward hA low beings, as against the ty, narrow at- titude of the Hutocrat: The Examiner publRhed on Mon day an Associated Press tele- gram announcing the rein  statement of George Burkett as assistant postmaster at Winnatka, III. Burkett had said that President Wilson should wait at least one year before marrying again after the death of his first wife and many Americans think he was right. But Burkett's superior officer, Postmaster Kloepfer, thought differently and dismissed him; where upon President Wilson, the broad-guaged American, was greatly annoyed by the incl dent-not because of what Burkett had said, but that the postmaster had dismissed him.
 And, what happened?
 The president immediately ordered Burkett's re-inState- ment unless there should be some other charge against him.
 There are people who ex- pected the president to pro- mote the postmaster for his presumed friendship for him but not so. And the president has, by his action in prompt ly re-instating Burkett, not only taught a valuable ano far-reaching lesson to all Americans, but it's wholesome influence will do more to holc in check rampant socialism and l. w. w. anarchy than all the loud mouthed talk of all the narrow minded bigots in Christendom.
 The president is treading on safe ground and anything short of it threatens the American liberty for which our fathers bled and died.
 Long live President Wilson and broad Americanism.
