ing the boil weevil, the work of vari-
Gus farmers associations. corn cam
paigns and scores of other activities Of
the nations farmers under the lead of
the county agents we're brought out in
the addresses of the state leaders.
The farmers of the country, it was
brought out. are SO favorably impressed
with the work of the agents that
in many states practically all the
agents are supplied with automobiles.
This afternoon the county agents are
divided into two sections. north. and
south. to consider the more technical
questions Of the work peculiar to their
locations. There will be no session of
the convention tonight Tomorrow the
delegates will go sightseeing. The ses-
sions will be resumed Monday morn

until Tuesday evening, when there will
be smoker.
Monday will see the opening of five
more agricultural conventions in the
National Capital, and three additional
national agricultural organizations will
convene later in the week.

KINGDOM Of ARABIA
ASKS RECOGNITION
Formation of New Monarchy
Announced, With Mecca
as the Capital.

Formation of the new kingdom of
Arabia. with Grand Shereef Hussein
Ben Ali as monarch and Mecca as the
capital. was reported to the State De-
partment today in an undated telegram
from Mecca signed by Shereef Abdul
lah, minister Of foreign affairs. The
Arabic nation. Abdullah said. would
henceforth be an active member Of the
society of nations. and confidently
looked forward to recognition by the
United States. The new kingdom re-
suited, he said, from a unanimous meet
ing Of the notab1es and citizens of the
country, who definitely threw off the
yoke of the committee of union and
progress at Constantinople.
Department Without Information.
The State Department knows nothing
of the new foreign minister and little
Of the circumstances surrounding the
proclamation of the kingdom and does
not know how to reach the foreign min
lister owing to the absence of any con-
suIar or diplomatic representative in
Arabia. Investigation into the sltua-
ton, however, may be possible thfoush n
British or French sources.
The request for recognition IS eA-
pected to be met in much the same
way as. other governmental cnahses
during the war. In Egypt, When the
new khedivate was established IN l,e-
cember, 1914, consular officers We're IN
structed to recognize the new ofncials
as de facto With respect to the new
government of Poland, the Cnlteu
States will postpone final acton until
peace is established.
Turkish Garrison Driven Out.
Arabia has been seethirs since spring.
when the shereef revolted and drove
the Turkish garrison out of Mecca. NO
Turkish force is known to have entered
Arabia since then, and 1t Is supposed
here to have been practically autonom-
Gus. The secession of all Arabia, with
the holy city of Mecca, the formal ana
final independence of Egypt under a
separate khedivate with extensive re-
ligious powers, the Russian conquest
of rich sections of Armenia and the CO.
operation of Indian and French Mo-
hammedans in allied armies are expect
ed by students of near eastern ques-
tions to result in a marked impairment
of Turkish power.

lowing significant paragraphs
which require no labored inter-

President Wilson'S speech of

of points of democratic strength
expected of him. 1t is an ef-
fective presentation of the facts

answer to attack as for the in
formation of the nation.

remarkable recognition of demo-
cratic strength, and an equally
remarkable admission of republi-
can weakness, Notwithstanding

PROHIBITION VS.. LOCAL
OPTION

Two amendments affecting the
present status of prohibition will
be submitted to the people of
Arizona at the election on No
vember 7, 1916. If either of
these amendments receives the
required number of votes it will
become a part of our Constitu-
ton. If both should receive
enough votes for adoption, the
one having the largest number
will take precedence over the
other.
The proposed prohibition amend
ment was filed with the Secre-
tary of State with over 1000
names, which were secured in
less than one month. The aim
of this amendment is to get the
law back to where it was before
the State Supreme Court decided
that liquor could be introduced
for personal use. This decision,
in this particular, nullified the
will and intent of the people and
opened up larger. and less dan
gerous field for the bootlegger.
With the prohibition amendment
as it now stands, weakened by
the court decision, a person may
introduce and keep large quanti-
ties of liquor, presumably for
personal use, but in fact he may
have such liquor for the purpose

EDITORIAL NOTES

Hardly had Mr.. Hughes de-
clared that our prosperity was
temporary" and that American
industries were in merely a
fools paradise, " when the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, representing 800 CONNER
cial bodies, reported as a result
of a careful canvass that the
country's prosperity was so solid
ly established that no presidential
election could disturb it.

BOND ISSUE FOR GOOD
ROADS

As a result of the good roads
meeting, held at the court house
Saturday night, an organization
was effected to carry out a cam,
paign for a bond issue of $500, 600,
the money secured from the sale
of bonds to be used in the build
ing of good roads in every Sec
ton of the county.
Every section of the county
was represented at the meeting
and the proposition to bond the
county for good roads was thor
oughly discussed and enthusias-
tically favored by every speaker.
Graham county needs good
roads badly and it needs the kind
of roads that can easily and eco
nomically be kept up, and the
only real way to secure roads
that will benefit every section of
the county, is to bond the county
for a sufficient sum to build roads
that will last and be economical
in their upkeep.
At the present time and for
years past, our roads throughout
the valley and from the valley to
other sections of the county have
been a great expense to the peo-
pie to keep up, as the kind of work
necessary for a good road could
not be done with the small
amount of money that could be
secured by taxation, levied thru
the yearly budget by the board
of supervisors.
Every farmer and every busi-
ness man in the county knows
this and also that there has never
been enough in the road fund to
make new roads and atthe same
time keep old roads repaired.
So, that it is really necessary for
the people of Graham county to
do the same as the people OF
other counties of the State have
done-vote a bond issue for good
roads.
1t is proposed to place the ques-
ton of a bond issue for $500, 00C
for good roads on the ballot that
will be used in the general elec-
ton, Tuesday, November 7th,
thus saving the taxpayers the
expense of a special election.
This plan is a good one and nc
doubt will be acceptable to the
taxpayers.
Every man and woman in the
county should be in favor Of
good roads, and we believe they
are. Good roads are absolutely
necessary to the success of the
county and a big vote favorinf
the bond issue should be the re
suit on November 7th.

When Mr.. Hughes hangs his
head in shame he perhaps is
thinking of the occasion when
President Taft sent a message to
the Governor of Arizona in re-
sponse to the latter's request for
protection against Mexican at
tacks. Said the then republican
president: Il must ask you and
the local authorities, in case the
same danger recurs, to direct the
people of Douglas to place them
selves where bullets annotreach
them, and thus avoid casualty"
Thus while the democratic meth
cd is to call the National Guard
to colors, the republican method
appears to be to order the citi-
zens to crawl into their cellars.

Despite these enormous sales in

amendment follows in the direc-
tion pointed out by the court and
was written by some of the ablest
lawyers in the State.
1t provides that it shall be un-
lawful for a person in the State of
Arizona to receive or cause to be
received from without the State
of Arizona, any intoxicating liq-
uors, and it shall be unlawful for
any person to have in his pos
session any intoxicating liquors
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 any liq-
uors within the State. EXcep-
tions are made for alcohol for
laboratory uses and wine to be
used for sacramental purposes.
The temperance people in the
last campaign disclaimed any in
tention of interfering with the
religious practices of any church.
An amendment without this ex-
ception would probably not stand
before the courts, so far as this
point is concerned.
There is nothing in this amend
ment to interfere with the intro
duction of denatured, mentho-
lated or camphorated alcohol.
Every tincture known to the
United States pharmacopea may
be shipped in.
Possession of liquor is illegal
only when the possessor has in
troduced it or caused it to be in
troduced. This is the only way
the introduction can be pro-
hibited. The amendment must
meet the Federal Statute, known
as the Webb-Kenyon law.
The liquor measure which will
appear on the ballot is known as
the Local Option Amendment.
Its sole purpose is to bring the
saloons back to Arizona, and if
passed, it will accomplish it's pur.
pose. 1t permits the rnanufac.
ture of liquor in every commun-
ity, whether wet or dry. Each
county and town is to decide the
issue of saloons or no saloons,
and an election may be held
every two months. The voters
will remember that two years
ago these same people wanted an
election only once in eight years.
Now they propose a measure
that will permit a maximum of
three hundred and thirty-six
elections, if each county should
take full advantage of this privi-
lege. There would be no rest for
any community until the saloons
are permitted to return.
If you don't want the saloons
to return, but want real and eff
fective prohibition, vote yes"
on the proposed prohibition
amendment, and be equally sure
that you vote mo" on the local
option amendment.
The proposed prohibition amend
ment will be the first of the ini-
tiative measures on the ballot
and is designated by the word
Prohibition" 1t will appear
Immediately after those measures
submitted to the people by the
legislature.
A vote for the local option
amendment is a vote for the re-
turn of the saloons, so it may
again dominate politics, intimi-
date business and breed crimi-
mails.
A vote for the proposed pro-
hibition amendment is a vote for
what has already been placed in
our Constitution. 1t means no
saloons, elimination Of the boot
logger, a clean State, happy
homes, better business and more
money in the banks.
Which of these alternatives
will you choose?

Practically complete returns showed

To Offset this in the possibilities
