Arizona, calling upon the courage and
determination of every citizen for the
defense of human rights. 1t is, re-
gretably, a fact that the same small,
but powerful, coterie c. capitalists
which has wrought amrng tie wterh-
ers of certain other States, which
1eed1iy forced wages downward to
minimum; far below the point of sui
sistence. and whicn-not content with

mighty dollar-is un 1ouhta6ly laying
it's plans to gain control of every func
ton of Government in the State of
Arizona 1t is right and just for every
citizen, be he wealthy or be he poor,
to take an active interest in public at
fairs, but the bounds of justice are
transcribed, and the rights of free
people are seriously menaced when
corporations, as such, become COM
pactly organized into a political alli-
ance for the influencing of legisla-
ton and the election of officials sub
servient to their interests. 1t will be
a happy day for the nation and state
n which we live, when the corpora
lions shall be excluded from political
activity and when the laws shall be
so framed and so enforced that vast
accumulations of capital cannot be EN-
- O.. ed in an attempted control OF
Government.
Beginning many years ago, while
the great masses of the people were
ulled into a false sense of security
somewhat justified by tradition and
hn of
wealth invaded National Congresses
and State Legislatures, framing the
avs which govern commercial and
industrial relations in a mnaner con
forming very closely to their OWL
fancies and selfish desires.
/ By the fruits of this system Of
capitalistic devising, we are able tt
know it, Enthusiastically, wherever in
vestigations disclose the facts. We
find that the working class, plus the
professional class, represents ninety
nine per cent of our population. The
remaining one per cent is represent

informed that the United States ha!

per cent of the remainder subsist OF
an annual income of fl ON six hundred

toward the rectifying of those evils
which assail her citizenship. Every
loyal Arizonan desires the youngest
State of the Union to reject the bonds
of industrial thraldom which haye
been welded upon many another COM
monwealth and to stand fearless and
untrammelled by foolish traditions,
an example of government by the peo-
ple-wholly free from every oppres-
sor. In this work of seeking freedom
justice and humanity, as applied to
government, every citizen should be
encouraged to engage, for there is no
service more enrolling than that
which has in view the welfare OF
mankind"

which became the ultimate basis Of

toward the grievances of their en-

withheld, nor should it be the desire
OF any public official or citizen to wi

tunately, between employer and en-

1t is quite apparent that Arizona

Western Union Newspaper News Service.
London.-After 1t was reported ON
cially that Stanislau, next to Lemberg
the most important railway city IN
Galicia, and Monasterzyska, another
important railroad center in Galicla,
had been captured by the Russians, 1t
was announced that great battle, be-
tlieved to be the forerunner OF a gen.
eral offensive, is raging on the Greco
Serbian frontier. Gen. Letchitzky's
army, which has been hammering at
Stanislaus gates for more than
week, taking one fortified barrier after
another, captured its objective in
swift dash across the River Czarna
Bystritza. The city's fall officially was
announced by Petrograd and is ad-
mitted by the Austrian War ONCE,
which in it's statement says: we
evacuated Stanislau without fight"
The garrison and the army which
had been defending the city's eastern
approaches, escaped. Fleeing north
ward along the Stanislau-L emberg
railway, the Teuton forces are holly
pursued in the direction of Halicz, an
other important railway town 10 miles
to the north. The capture of this
town is believed to be only a~matter
of hours.

sHERlFF OF SHELBY COUNTY RE-
MOVED FROM OFFICE BY
SUPREME COURT.
THE LAW NOT ENFORCED
This Courts Decision States That tho
Sheriff Did Not Enforce Prohibi-
ton Laws In City of Mem
phis-Other State News.

Memphis. - Sheriff Riechman OF
Shelby county was removed from Of
fee by the State Supreme Court at
Nashville, speaking through Special
Justice Frierson of Chattanooga.
This decision was reversal of the
decision reached by Chancellor HE'S
kell of the Memphis Chancery Court.
Chancellor Heiskell had taken the
position practically that sheriff could
not be removed from office because he
did not break up unlawful conditions
SO long as he had served all the pro-
cesses placed in his hands.
The decision of the Supreme Court
states that Sheriff Riechman did moth
ing toward the enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws in Memphis from the
time he assumed office in September,
1914, until February /, 1915. He ap-
pears to have tried to break up a
number of roadhouses outside the city,
however, the opinion states.

Scnooi Excursion, Missing In
West Virginia.

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. 11.-Gov-
ernor Hatfield, who arrived here on
Wednesday to attend the state Repub-
lican convention, ordered special re-
lief trains to the Coal river and Cabin
creek districts, where, according to re-
ports, more than $50 have been
drowned and 5000 made homeless. So
serious is the situation that Governor
Hatfield left the city to go to the scene
of the devastation.
The governor was Informed that at
Cabin creek the loss of life would eX-
coed 100 and that more than 5000
there are homeless. Later reports esti-
mated the damage at $1,000O0O.
The cloudburst occurred at the head
waters of Paint and Cabin creeks and
Coal river, and the torrent which
surged down Coal river swept its banks
almost clean of villages, while the
Kanawha river rose several feet,
carrying on its crest houses and build
ings of all kinds.
Near st. Adams are marooned two
passenger trains, one of which Is a
Sunday school excursion train.

FEAR OUTBREAK OF DISEASE

Charleston, W.. Va.-Fearful that
pestilence may follow the food in
Cabin and Seng Creeks and Little Coal
River, where more than half hundred
persons lost their lives as a result OF
the cloudburst, active steps toward
improving sanitary conditions in the
flooded area were taken when Dr. S.
L. Jepson, State Health Commission
er, went into the district to cooperate
with mining physicians. Realizing the
danger that ensues from unsanitary
conditions and polluted water left in
the wake of the flood, Governor H. D..
Hatfield, himself a physician, accom-
panied Adjutant General John c. Bond
into Cabin Creek and gave special at
tention to steps to prevent an out
break of disease.

HlyGHES IN DETROIT |GORITZ is CAPTURED
ITALIAN ARMY TAKES AUSTRO-
HUNGARIAN STRONGHOLD.
Road to Trieste Is Opened and Naval
Base of Pola Menaced-LatIns
Advance at San MARITIME.

Rome, Aug. 1.-THE Italians have
captured Goritz. Official announce
ment of this victory, the greatest won
by the Italians since the war against
Austria-Hungary was begun, was an
nounced by the war Office on Wednes-
Sday. The Italians captured 10000 pris-
oners.
The fall of Goritz, which was the
keystone Of the Austro- Hungarian
front along the IsonZo river, means the
opening of the road to Trieste for Lieu
tenant General Cardorna's victorious
Italian army.
Not only will the defense of the
great Austrian seaport be practically
impossible hereafter, according to
military experts, but the naval strong
hold of Pola will be menaced.
The capture Of the fortress is the
most severe blow the Austrians have
sustained from the Italians since the
two countries went to war.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 9.-Charles Il.

Monday in an atmosphere that was not

at two meetings, both crowded and
both enthusiastic.

cause of labor and for some means OF
industrial organization whereby the
strife of labor and capital can be
avoided. The fourth was made to
gathering of suffragists, to whom ne
reiterated his advocacy of federal
suffrage amendment. Mrs. Hughes
stood beside him when he said this.

BLIND PLEAD WITH INVENTOR
Liquefied Radium Helps to Restore

Discovery"

More than six thousand blind per-

mails, have besieged Ethan |. Dodds,
the Pittsburgh inventor of radium
screen "eyes." pleading piteously with
him to restore their sight.
Mr.. Dodds, with the aid of liquened
radium. did succeed some months ago
in improving If not restoring the vision
of a man who suffered a peculiar visual
ailrnent that had made him blind. Talk
ing of that achievement. the inventor,
who already had spent two fortunes
experimenting along that line, said
he'd give all he could ever hope to pos
sess in this world if he could only
promise sight to few of the blind who
had thus appealed to him. But. as yet,
he was "only on the edge of a great
discovery" and could not, without
many added qualities. hope to apply 1T
in any general way to the restoration
Of sight.
Now Mr.. Dodds has received from
sightless sufferers more than six thou
sand pathetic appeals; some of them
accompanied by signed checks in blank.
