Concerning Personal Use"
 Decision

On the whole, will the effect of the decision the of supreme court declaring that liquor may be brot into Arizona for personal use be for better or for worse? That is question which the coming years must decide. There are many arguments pro and con.
 In the first place, this decision will reduce the high premium on bootleg whiskey and make it less profitable for individuals who have heretofore successfully viol ated the prohibitory amendment. There is some satisfaction in seeing these persons deprived of their high pro fits.
 Bootlegging by persons who come thru on a train with a suit case full and stop just long enough to un- load, may possibly become more common. On the other hand, how. ever, those who have been long ac. customed 10 strong drink and who have been willing to pay almost any price to get it. will now prob ably keep an individual supply al home and hence the demand fol bootlegged whiskey will not be SC strong.
 The sale and manufacture O liquor, remain as great a crime al ever. Violations of the prohibitory amendment need not increase i the people elect officers who vii perform their duty. As for tht open saloon, it is forever gone iron Arizona, and in coming years bringing a new generation, more and better fruits will be reapee from It's aboIishment.

PROCRESS|VES
ALIVE in STATE

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2O.-Smoth-
erlng all opposition to state ticket,
and rejecting a proposal to endorse
Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican
nominee for president, the regulars
Of the Progressive party today kept
the party alive in Indiana Edward M.
Lee, state chairman, was cheered when
he declared the party should retain
its solidarity, and the resolutions
adopted assailed both the Democratic
and Republican parties. W. D. Head
rick of indianapolis and James B. Will
son of Bloomington, who addressed
the convention, voiced it's sentiments
in pleas for its to continue to seek
''its place in the sun"
The Progressive-Republican element
led by William H. Dyne, William Dud-
ley Foulke and others, who suggested
the. formation of Progressive league,
the endorsement of Hughes and the
disruption of the party, never had a
real chance for real fight in the con-
vention.

The following resolutions, relative
to the death Of Rev. I. M. Hughes,
were drawn up by Rev. Addison Parker
and adopted by the Ministerial asso-
citation at special meeting at the
Y. M. G. A. this morning.
The resolutions were read later at
the funeral services for DR.. Hughes:
The Ministerial Association OF
which DR.. l. M. Hughes has been for
long years an honored member, would
on this occasion bring its tribute OF
profound regard.
We would express our tender SYM
pathy with the stricken family, espe-
cially remembering those two best
known to us, the wife, honoTed and
beloved for her own sake as well as
her husbands, and that son who is
himself minister and as Richmond
pastor once belonged to this associa-
ton.
Known as Veteran.
To most Of the men now serving as
pastors of our churches, DR.. Hughes
has been known only as veteran
soldier of the cross, retired from &C
tive service through the infirmities OF
ripening years. For the last four
years OF his retirement he has been
able to respond but seldom to our
roll-call.
But alike to the few of us who
have enjoyed his more intimate ac-
quaintance and to the men who have
been denied this privilege, his life's
record is as enviable as it is de-
served. Among his honorable titles
to distinction his last is the noblest
of them all Pastor Emeritus! Yes,
through the long years of his min
istry he has, as the word has it.,
purchased unto himself good de-
gree" Who of us amid the uncer-
tainties of pastoral life would not
count this an enviable record?
Record Is Enviable.

S. Z. Nicholson was asked today for
a statement OF the plans and policies
OF the Richmond Church Federation
the coming years. He replied that he
could not anticipate the action OF the
Executive Committee which VIII De
called together some time In August
TO consider this fhole question.
When it was suggested that PROB
ably the people OF Richmond did not
have a clear understanding OF the
purposes OF the Federation he said
the Federation had been effected In
order to guarantee more thorough CO.
operation on the part OF all the
churches in the city along certain
lines of religious and social work IN
which the backing and support OF all
the churches is absolutely essential.
Issues Statement.
Heretofore the Ministerial ASSOC
iation, which exists primarily for pur-
poses of good fellowship and the mu-
tual betterment and edification OF the
members, has had to deal with many
questions pertaining to the religious
and moral life of the city which should
be cered for by the churches as
whole and by the laity in particular:
Probably there is no one IN the
city who can tell with any degree OF
assurance whether or not every ele-
ment of our population is being
brought under religious influences.
In my Judgment it should become the
duty of the Federation to see that a
careful religious survey of the city
is made at an early date, following
which steps should be taken through
the various religious agencies OF the
city to see that no family is allowed
to escape the opportunity of religious
training and spiritual betterment.
Such a survey would indicate whether
or not there is need OF additional city
missionary activity along the lines OF
the North Fourteenth Street Mission.

NICH0L SON OUTLINES
IDEAS OF federation

It ought to be possible also ultimately
to enlarge the circle OF mothers meet
ings and children's classes, especially
among the neglected portions OF our
people.
Brings About Cooperating.
1.-The Federation should be able to
do something at an early day IN the
matter of a closer cooperation and
fellowship on the part OF the numerous
mems bible classes and brotherhood s
In the city with view to strengthen
ing the religious life Of all our people.
Speaking personally believe that
the Federation can recommend to the
churches a most helpful course OF
preparation running through the au-
tumn, for a city-wide evangelistic
movement in the early winter, certain.
ly not later than January, in which all
the churches can participate in their
own way and with their own workers,
coming together only at stated times
in great mass meeting demonstrations.
Whether or not during such period
noon hour meetings for men can be
held in one of our theaters or some
other public place is a matter which
will have to be decided upon later, but
it seems to me that such a procedure
is entirely practicable. The chief pur-
poses of the Federation should un-
doubtedly be to promote along COOP
erative lines the religious life OF the
city, and from time to time it will con-
Germ itself no doubt with such social
service work as will contribute to this
end.
Whenever the needs of the city re-
quire the joint action of the churches,
in any particular line of service that
will make for the betterment of the
whole city, the Federation will exist
as the channel through which such eff
fort can be put forth, with minimum
Of friction and duplication and maxi
mum of efficiency"

WIFE SLAYER
may BE Sent
BACK FOR TRIAL

In letter received by Isaac A. Cor
mon Of this city, former chief OF
police, from state prison officer at
Michigan City intimation is given that
Seth Lucas, now in the criminal in
sane department OF the prison, is
steadily recovering from his mental
arrangement. The letter further init
mates, Mr.. Gormon states, that there
is a prospect, at some future time, OF
Lucas being returned to Richmond
for trial on the charge of having MUIR
dered his wife. Lucas cannot be tried
on such charge unless he full re-
covers his normal mentality.
In Insane Department.
Lucas, who has been in the insane
department of the northern state pris-
on for over three years, was the perpe-
traitor of one of the most grewsome
murders in the criminal history Of
Wayne county.
While residing on a farm near
Greensboro Lucas murdered his wife
with an axe and then set fire to the
house to conceal the crime. His wife's
body was cremated. Several months
elapsed between the preparation of
this crime and his arrest. He was
neve.. tried for his offense as he was
declared to be insane shortly after his
arrest
The crime could never have been
fastened upon Lucas had 1t not been
for confession made by the murder
err Convinced that Mrs. Lucas had
not met with an accidental death Mr..
Gormon, then chief of police, kept her
husband under close surveillance. His
untiring efforts were finally rewarded.
Lucas one day rushed into police
headquarters and confessed he had
slain his wife. Within a short time
he became a raving maniac.
