 The Supreme Court has rendered, A decision. quite surprising And shown that Arizona laws, Must undergo revising. It means the drought is breaking, Or just about to cease, And you may fill your skin full, As often as you please. If this decisions final, And all reports are true. Here's a little bit of satire, That l offer unto you. Ha. ha, the snakes are coming, l Making ready for attack, Nari- -colored. hisSing. striking, Ceiling serpents, coming back. And we greet you. writhing Devils, Who so long have ruled our fate; , We salute you. poison serpents; You are welcome to our state. | Do you see the foolish many, Coming back from out of Hell? 1 Do you see the wives and children. Who have loved you. long and well We pass up, the efficiency. That has come back to us; 1 It's booze that makes the wheels g round, So we don't care cuss. 1 We welcome you. our Master. Who ruled us all these years: Who kicked and starved our families And kept you. O writhing thing, Come back and give us cheer i, We welcome all you crawling things l Who have been gone the year. No more will We buy clothing, 1 For our families to wear, We'll even sell our overcoats, For spring is drawing near. We won't pay up our little bills, As we have done of late. l For we'll give you the money l You cherished potentate. We'll send it to the agents, l Who ship in booze and beer: | We want to get it out of the state, l For we don't need it here.
 A lot of us will lose our jobs. For going back to you. 1 So our wives and little children, Send this greeting out to you. fWe bid you welcome back again, | Indeed we love you so.

Our Sleeping Voters

Registration for the city election will close February 21. There are only four days for registration. Only about 1900 voters have far regstered-that is, probably less than of every four otherwise qualified voters. It is hardly be hoped that the present registration will reach 5OOO that when the books closed Mon day night three of every five in Phoenix Will he dsfranchised and the dsfranehised will sist for the most part of those who considered good citizens. They unselfish citizens in that they nothing from the government for them selves that every citizen ought not to haave.
 They want of course, good government. but that is a somewhat shadowy, abstract tenuous thing, that it does not to them worth while to take the time and trouble to insist upon it. Besides there are others who always look after the govern ment. The result of this attitude of so-called citizens will De that the character of the gov crnment for the next years will be determined by something than e-fifth of all the in the city and something less than two-fths of all the voters
 The victorious, small minority will include many who do not rank among "our best citizens" While have not inspected the registration list to date have doubt that the names will be found in it, of all who the wide open; who interference with gambling for which Phoenix has become notorious thaan any other in the state, notwithstanding ti-gamOling ordi- nance and anti-gamblng statute. The name of cry machine politician, large and small of every -heeer of every party have the slightest doubt, is already the list. We may say that almost every and in the city known the gamblers and those who favor a wide -open town tn be opposed to good government have already been registered. We suppose that the work of the politicians has been practically finished far the registration is concerned.
 We do say that only the worst class of voters have far registered.

campaign. Within little more than week after the early mutterings the present in full hlast. Under Mr Church's plan thousands of American voters would be captured by the enemy at the polls before votes for and against war could be counted.
 MT Church further says:
 Congress, that has the constitutional power to declare war. is composed of senators and repre- Sontatives who are exempt from they not. they generally old and fat and well fed to fight. Most of them would be a hindrance the battle field. In case of a charge they would hardly escape being by the Red Cross, tle news paper boys and the commissary department and yet on the most trivial provocation we find at least large minority of these men anxious to- bring wa that other men must fight.
 Our present plan is neither safe fair hear much about the honor of our country, and I believe the honor Of this country skould be maintained but l want to see the term defined by the who have to maintain it.
 l would not like to have fat fellow define my honor tell me when it has been assaied and then force into fight.
 There things the people cannot very well do directly. and among them is that of deter mining when the nation is in peril. Four out of every five voters could remotest notion to the danger, if there should be danger And to the "honor" of which Mir Church writes it I. the outraged national honor that calls war and not slight lpon the individual Ronor of John " Neither of these citizens may be aware that any thing has happened his honor
 The president and congress may always know when we should go to war, but they are in a better position to know than the average citizen or we may say. thcn the most intelligent private citizen without a knowledge of the conditions that con- front the country.
 The onH possible merit in the proposal of Mir Church is this: If an enemy intent on invading our country should land in force and find himself in midst of hot American vs Peace campaign he would oe thrown into such confusion that he would forget for time why he had landed m the country: he would be thrown into such paroNysms Of mirh that he would be helpless to ctITy oGt his evil intentions But again he might take possession of the polls he could easily do and permit nis hosts with the pacifiss against declaration of by the country so that the enemy would have things all his own way

A War Election

We have just received copy of a joint resoN- uon introduced into the house of representatives by lion. Denver S Church of California for the amend ment of that provision of the constitution of thu. United States which authorizes the president and the congress to declare war NIr Church would have such an important matter as the declaration o var submitted to the citizens the United States at a special election called for that purpose In more than half the citizens voting should favor War. the president and congress could then go to War.
 In an accompanying letter Mr Church saays re- garding the present plan: If the president hap is not much danger; bat if he is an mpusive man and 9 man of war which is frequently the case the country is in peril. When has it been frequently the case, ever, that president has precipitaed or threatened to precpitate this nation into war?
 We have had since the beginning the republic only two aVodaole wars-with Mexico and again. with Spain This nation has no regrets for he Mexican Whether the with Spain was Justified whether the results have seemed jeans are divided. But if there was war of the people that President Mckinley most reluctantly and congress with less reluctance yielded to a popular demand for that war

timely legislation procured from
a patriotic Congress maintained
peace and brought prosperity and
plenty to the country. The
mountain Democrats are the tru-

principle of which the Demo-

The Republicans in the noun

them, out count the Democrats
in case of close election, but
they do so solely on might with

There were ia trespassers kill
ed on all the railroads in the
Southern states last year. This
includes Kentucky. OF this num-
Der sixty were school boys hop.
ping on and off trains.
We have often called attention
to this dangerous practice by Clay
City urchins. Not so much IS
this a practice by school boys Of.
Clay City, as by boys who are
not in school attendance at the
time. We have often wondered
how SO many escape. The time
will come, we fear, for an acci-
dent of this kind to befalI some
Clay City or Powell county lad.
Therefore parents should use a
greater exertion to keep their
boys from trains that such an ac-
cident may not befall them.
A few years back so prevalent
had become this dangerous prac.
tice that the railroad company
requested the Clay City council
to enact an ordinance against
boys jumping on and off moving
trains, and this was done which
then, and possibly now helps to
restrain the youth of the town
from such dangerous practice.

Two more convlcts working the
State Aid roads in Bell county
escaped last week.
Further evidence that we were
right in opposing a change to the
constitution to permit them from
the prison walls. Oonvicts built
the railroad to Clay City thirty.
one years ago. Railroads with
prison labor prior to 1890 were
built in all parts of the State.
They were then always escaping
guards, so to rid the state of this
practice the new constitution
forbade convicts being placed out
side the walls, But people will
forget, or they would not have
voted'to put the convicts out on
the roads.

A HOMEMADE PAPER.
THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1916.


w. II. Harrison, travelling pas.
senger agent of the l.. d N, was
here last week to look over the
passenger service in this section.
We are indeed glad to know that
this corporation sees it wise to 60
out into the field and consult the
people about the service they are
to receive. 49,!
As the trains now run itis COLI
venient to leave Clay City, go to
Frankfort, Louisville and Cincin-
natl, and get back the same day
though it be after nightfall. But
with this convenience, which is
rarely needed by our people,
comes the inconvenience of no
afternoon mail which hits every
individual 365 days in the year,
and the further inconvenience of
getting in so late at nights when
gong to Winchester, Lexington
and Mt. Sterling. We are ALSO
by the present arrangement, rob-
bed of quick mail service going
out from here in the afternoon
as we formerly had, and the pos
sibility of going into Cincinnati
from here by leaving in the af
ternoon.
frequently people have an
hours business at Winchester.
Il used to be bad enough to leave
here at s O'Clock and return at 4
in the afternoon, but now to have
to leave at 7:l0 am. and net be
able to get back for twelve long
hours, it is past the extreme.
To say nothing about the bad
~ crippled mail service, we be-

lieye that nine out of every ten
passengers going down on the
train in the morning are local
passengers, going either to Mt.
Sterling, Winchester or Lexing-
ton. These passengers desire to
get back home that evening at
from four to six O'Clock, as can
be gotten along the line up to
jackson. We appreciate the fact
that the railroad company desires
to render the best service posi-
bic, and we further are aware
that four trains daily is all that
we may expect, and now having
thorough tryout of the different
kinds of service, we think we
can voice the wishes OF 90 per
cent. of our people when we say
give US similar service to what !
we had a few years ago, with the
exception of the early west bound !
train, and we are pleas.

service, and wholly satisfactory
local service, and we realize that
the outside connections, while
not what we would have, are the
best we can expect or hope for.

their homes, enjoying the spring
breeze and singing and Dragging, this
month, census enumerators from the
United States bureau of biological sur
vey viii count them,
A really accurate count Of bird
population can be made by one bird
lover going over a 60 or S0-acre unit,
says the bureau.
The females, busy with spring
housework are often missed; but It's
scientific fact that the males are
SO swagger and conspicuous that it
is hard for a counter to miss them
So the method to be employed this
census-the surveys third is to
count the males Of each species, and
then multiply by two to get the total.
The survey is calling for volunteer
hunters Especially il wants data on
the fruit districts Of the Pacific coast
and the South Atlantic and Gulf states
Reports are wanted, too on mountain,
prairie and semi-arid regions. It does
not ask expert knowledge.
If bird lovers win take walk over
the fields just as the sun is getting up.
theyll find every bird worth counting
IN any sort Of census singing, the bu-
reau further advises.
This is a prelude to an extensive
campaign to persuade the country that
whom "a. bird is killed, the nation loses
an asset
