mental purposes, and provided further,
that the University of Arizona,
through its Regents, may introduce,
receive, transport and possess grain

and may distribute such alcohol under
such restrictions and regulations as
said Board of Regents may from time

nothing herein shall prevent the intro

Sec. 2. Every person who shall
violate any provision of section one
of this article or any rule or regula-
ton made Hereunder, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor, and shall be inn
prisoned for not less than ten days,
nor more than two years, and fined
not less than twenty-five dollars and
costs, and not more than three hun

ported or possessed in violation of Sec
ton one of this article or manufac-
tured, introduced, or disposed of in
violation of article XIII of this con-
stitution, shall be by the court or
dered publicly destroyed"
If this law is passed and enforced,
it means the end of every form of IL
quor traffic in the state and it will
keep at home the thousands of dol
lars that are going weekly to dealers
outside the state who pay no license
or other tax in Arizona. There is but
one way to stop the sale of liquor
and that is to stop it. Half way
measures amount to nothing as exper-
fence in this particular instance has
abundantly demonstrated.
The present law is but little better
than licensed saloons; in some ways 1t
is worse, as the state and city derive
no revenue whatsoever.
Every man and woman who believes
that liquor is curse from which the
state should be freed, should make
special point of voting yes on this
amendment.

INITIATED MEASURES
(AriZona GaZette)

One of the most vital questions that
the electors of the state will pass upon
at the November election is the new
prohibition amendment which will be
1O4 and 105 on the ballots.
This proposed amendment is intend
ed to make thoroughly effective the
present prohibition law, which has
been made largely imperative through
the personal use" decision.
The amendment is so drawn that
the offense lies in having liquor in
possession, as we'll as in bringing 1t
into the state. 1t has the approval of
some of the best constitutional law
yers in the country and will, if passed,
be completely effective. The exact
words are:
Section 1. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person in the State of Arizona
to receive, or cause to be received,
from without the State of Arizona, for
any purpose, any ardent spirits, ale,
beer, wine or intoxicating liquors OF
any kind, and it shall be unlawful for
any person in the State of Arizona to
have in his possession, for any pur-
pose, any ardent spirits, ale, beer,
wine, or intoxicating liquors of any
kind, which he has introduced or
caused to be introduced into the state
of Arizona, and it shall be unlawful
for any person to transport or cause
to be transported, within the State
of Arizona, any ardent spirits, ale,
beer, wine, or intoxicating liquors OF
any kind, provided, that it shall be
lawful for any regularly ordained

ceive what the law guarantees to us, nothing
more and nothing less.
The Democrats of Arizona want man
as Governor who has the backbone to look
EVERY man in the eye and assure him that
so long as he is Governor of Our great state
his personal and his property rights will be
safeguarded under the law of the state of Ari-
iona, which he is sworn to execute. \
The Democrats of Arizona do not want
a man as Governor who is claimed as their
man by any Corporation, Federation, Church
or Society Such a state of affairs will ulti-
mately lead to disaster.
We have unlimited confidence in the
sound, good judgment of the rank and file
of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The Demo-
crat who is Democrat for a principle re-
sents the usurpation of his party by "Moth-
err Jones, "Curley'' Grow and Olaf Tveitmoe
who are charging up and down this state adj
vocating the election of man for a third
term with blasphemy on their lips; red flag
as their banner and stick of dynamite con-
cealed about their person.
Tuesday, September 18th, is house clean
ing day in the great democratic house of Ari-
zona With the good women of Arizona in
charge of the cleaning and the men folks do
ing the heavy work the democratic house is
going to be set in order.
DEMOCRATS, get to the polls early
on Primary Day and stay late. You have
duty to perform.

Every person between the ages of
six and twenty-one years should en-
roll the first week of school and every
one between the ages of eight and six
teen must enroll unless excused on
account of physical disability or by
the President of the Board of Trus-
tees, the Probation Officer, or the
Superintendent of the City Schools
This is the state law and must be
compiled with. 1t is the duty of the
truant officer or any officer of the law
to arrest truants. Every person be-
tween the ages of eight and sixteen
years is styled truant who is absent
from school without a legal excuse.
Compulsory attendance sounds harsh
but it must be used when voluntary
attendance is not willingly encourag-
ed by the parents.

THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.

From the standpoint of the success and
progress of the Democratic party in the State
of Arizona it is regrettable that individuals
have taken advantage of the strength of the
dominant party in this state to inject per-
sonal prejudice and class hatred into the cam
pagn when we are about to enter upon a ma
tional and state election
There is great army of Democrats in
Arizona who are not party to the industrial
controversies of Mother" Jones and c. w.
P. Hunt. The Jeffersonian- Jacksonian-
Cleveland Democrats of Arizona bitterly re-
sent the attempt of any faction to use the
Democratic Party-the party whose political
foundation rests upon Equal Rights to
All; Special Privileges to None''-as the We
hicle for the attainment of their own sell
fish political ambitions.
Industrial controversies between EN-
ployees and employers is matter which must
always be worked out, if real success is to be
attained, is spirit of arbitration and concili-
alton and the continual arraying of clsses
gainst each other by the demagogic politi-
clan is obstacle in the way of industrial
peace and prosperity and stumbling block in
the way of friendly and kindly relations.
The politician and Office seeker who at
tempts to ride into office on the of
strife, turmoil, hatred, and unjust accusa-
tons is not citizen who should receive the
votes of thoughtful men and women of any
class of our citizenship.
The man the DEMOCRATS of Arizona
desire for Governor is one who will have the
courage it does take courage-to adj
minister the laws of our state without fear
or favor. Democrats want Governor who
does NOT consider himself above tte law. 2
man, who by his record as official in this
state has demonstrated time and again that no
corporation, Federation, clique faction
need expect any official favors at his hands,
but that each and all of us are entitled to re-

Smallpox Victim

The first American to succumb to
the smallpox epidemic was Bud Du-
Bots, who died last Saturday at the
pest house at Bunker's, near Morenci.
Mr.. Dubois had been guarding the
patients for some time and about
two weeks ago contracted the disease
himself.
The body was inferred at two o.
clock Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Dubois was we'll known in
Greenlee county where he had resid-
ed for several years. He was we'll
known cattle man and was for some
time cattle inspector for Greenlee
county. He was also employed as
deputy sheriff, which position he held
at the time of his death.
Deceased leaves a wife and daugh-
ter to mourn his loss and the have
the sympathy Of the whole communi1
ty in their sad bereavement.

The enrolment this year should be
greater than that of last year. There
fore, the average daily attendance,
upon which the district gets it's state
money, should be greater. During
the first five months last year we had
an average daily attendance of 939.S1.
This year we should have over 1000.
This will increase our school money
by 35 times the difference between
the average daily attendance. The
best six months of last year gave an
average daily attendance of 996. 525.
We should have this year 1925 easily.

All high school students who have
should bring them the first day of
school and offer them for sale to
other students who will need them
this year. By so doing each student
may be able to pay quite little to-
ward the purchase of new books
which he will need for the year. This
will cut out the middle mans profits
as the trades will be between stu
dents. This is a very important no.
tice and should be needed by the stu
dents as it will save at least one-half
the usual book bill for each student
except seniors. The state does not
furnish high school text books.

Mrs. Thomas Simpson of Clifton

time she closed a deal for the pur-
chase of the Witt hotel. The consid-

in the very near future. She re-

noon and is at present arranging to

MIR. HUGHES ICE BLOCK.

The speech of Candidate Hughes last
month accepting in formal manner the re-
publican nomination was awaited with much
interest The result was distinct ,disappoint-
ment. Disappointing to the country because
it fell like 'block of ice," and actually
caused drop in the temperature; disappoint-
ing to the Democrats because it gives them
nothing to answer disappointing to the Re
publicans because it brings them neither JOY
nor hope.
The substance of the speech may be
summed up in few words It might have
been delivered without Words if he had
simply brought statue of MIR. Wilson with
him to- the notification meeting and basket
of rotten eggs and tossed them at the statue
one at time, that would have been Hughes
speech in all its eloquence, speech without
words. The whole speech from beginning to
end was devoted to rotten-egging the Presl-
dent, as the New York World puts it, and Mr.
Hughes does not offer the slightest word of
constructive policy as to chow he would have
DONE if he had been in Mr.. Wilson's shoes
during the last three years, during which time
he has borne the heaviest burdens of any of
our presidents except Washington and Lin
coin.
To quote again from the New York
World, which tears the speech to tatters and
losses it to the four winds of heaven as so
much rubbish we read:
eff Mr.. Hughes speech of acceptance
means anything, it means that for partisan
and personal ends, he is in sympathy with
every foreign country and with every for
eign element that has been in controversy
with President Wilson during the last three
years. He is for Huerta and against the
President. He is for Carranza and against
the President. He is for Villa and the Mexi-
can bandits against the President He is
for Great Britain and against the President.
He is for the German conspiracy against the
President"
The New York Tribune is admittedly
the foremost Republican organ of the Unit
ed States and is trying hard to be staunch
American paper and to support Mr.. Hughes
at the same time, but finds it a difficult pur-
pose to accomplish. In speaking of Mr..
Hughes speech of acceptance, It comments in
part as follows:
''It would be idle to pretend that the por-
ton of Mr. Hughes address which deals with
the Lusitana massacre and our relations
with Germany is satisfactory to The Tribune.
Nor shall we undertake to make any such
pretence."
Senator John S. Williams, OF Mississippi,
was asked for an opinion on the speech of
Mr.. Hughes and he said it reminded him of
appointment of a man some years ago as At
torney General of the United States, who
had never been able to make living at home;
so after he had been in office awhile he went
back home and walked around through the
country dressed like farmer, and asked
what had become of so and so, (naming
hinself0 The first old farmer replied that
he had been appointed Attorney General of
the United States. 'Well, says the disguised
Attorney General, ''what do the people around
here think of the appointment? ?" The old far
mer says, "They jess laugh"

Let there be a hearty cooperation
this year between the home and the
school. Let all work toward the same
goal-the complete unfolding of the
child, for this is education. When
differences arise( and they may) or
misunderstanding occur (and they
usually do) let the apparently offend
ed one go direct to the one who seem
ingly offended, talk frankly, yet wo-
manly or gentlemanly, and in nine
cases out of ten the trouble will be
adjusted satisfactorily to both parties.

Any student who desires informa-
tion about his work for the coming
year, or any High School student who
wants to plan his course may see the
Superintendent at his office. Parents
who have requests or suggestions, or
desire Information will be welcome at
the Superintendent's office in Hill
school building. Office will be open
from 9 to each day except Sunday.
Children who will be six years old
before the Christmas holidays should
enter the first week. Glasses will be
formed and started at this time. To
enter later means poor progress for
the one who enters late and a delay
on the part of the others. This
should be avoided. Beginning classes
will not be formed after October LIST,
and may not be formed after the
Christmas holidays.

ed to speak in every town in the coun-

Miss Fitzgerald and her mother

been cut off and that he held the per-
son who did it. A policeman was
called and the boy placed under ar
rest. He did not attempt to deny hav-

heavy braid, merely saying that he
admired beautiful hair and that he
often felt a desire to cut it from girls

ment Of Rheims, according to Mr.. NC
Kinney, Is that the statue OF Jeanne
d. Arc is still untouched.
MANY who have visited Rheims"
says Mr.. Mckinney, will recall the
scene at the great west entrance.
There is an humble little equestrian
figure of Jeanne d. Arc, carrying now
in her hand a French flag, and deco
rated about the base with tributes
from passing admirers who have noted
the marvel of the fact that her sanctlty
has not been disturbed by even par
ticle of shrapnel.
Rheims is bombarded with persist
ent regularity. Its stricken people
those who will not leave and VINO
work in the wine cellars-are subject
ed to attacks great deal more IMAM
our people along our southern Dor
der The worlds outcry has saved the
remnants of the cathedral.
Rheims is a queer but quiet unat-
tractive place, very hard to describe
Nearly everyone carries gas-masK.
Most of the men keep theirs in COM
pact cases slung from the wrist or at
tached to handles of their bicycles.
The women carry theirs in their bags,
or pin them to their breasts like a
medal or a watch Of the $4,000 peo-
pie in Rheims today about $4,000 are
women and girls who work in the
great champagne caves. l might add
that the war vintage of 1915 is be-
lieved to be the best since 1900. Here,
deep down in subterranean highways,
thousands of women are busy filling
and turning the acres of bottles"

STREET CAR RUNS
into AUTOMOBILE
Miss Della Tremblay Figures in C0ilI-
sion at Fifteenth Street and
Fourth Avenue.
HER MACHINE BADLY DAMAGED
Turning of Trolley on Wrong Track Is
Responsible for Accidents
Dangerous Practice.

Miss Della Tremblay was injured
shortly before noon yesterday when a
street car, turning on the wrong track
from Fifteenth street west upon
Fourth avenue, crashed into the auto
mobile which she was driving. The
machine was damaged to consider
able extent.
For some time it has been the prac-
tiCe of street car men-whether acting
under orders or not, Is not known-to
make the turn there on the wrong
track Whereas all cars routed west
should run on the track on the north
side of the street, they have switched
their cars, while still on Fifteenth
street, to the track which makes the
turn west on the south side of the
street. This is said to save few min
utes' time,
Several narrow escapes from being
struck by one Of these cars have been
reported Jitbusses and private auto
mobiles have frequently been trapped,
as they approach the street intersec-
ton with no idea of a car making the
turn on the south track. Pedestrians,
stepping from the curb, have also often
been endangered
Driver Hurt Slightly.
The collision yesterday, however
was the first actual accident to be re-
ported there as result of the wrong
routing OF the cars Fortunately Miss
Tremblay escaped with very minor in,
juries. Had her machine been moving
more swiftly, however, the acCiden
might easily have been of an extremely
serious nature.
