SHRUNKEN SAVINGS.

I have paid lot of good dollars insurance com panies to protect my family when gone" writes worried citizen Those dollars giving up lots of things-food, clothing amusement comforts. When gave them up had in mind that my loved ones would get certain number of the kind of dollars when should die What kind of dollars will they really get?
 If should die today, they would get the same dollars bargained for, but meaner cheaper weaker dollar. The true of the money have put in the savings bank. If drew it out will not get what de- posted The number of dollars will be the same but they will not be the same kind of dollars
 What kind of dollars will my children get in the fu- ture? What kind of dollars will get? Is it fair that my savings and my insurance should be down unuously because dollar shrivels all time?"
 It isn't fair. dollar that he paid the insurance com pany put in the bank twenty years ago only worth about half much today Any system that permits a mans property to shrink is wrong and stupid And all the money in America shrinking in just that way The process has gone almost unnoticed We have kept saying that prices going up" All at once we are awakened to the fact that the trouble with our money-that money has gone down."
 The world has been producing too much gold And the deluge of gold since the began has accelerated the process in this country York paper remarks that for year of nearly tons of gold worth half million dollars ton, has been unloaded every day at the New York subreasury The federal treasury has piled up s2OOOOOOOOO in gold There are many hundred millions in banks and in circulation On the basis of the gold have added billions more to our money supply in bank and various forms of credit.

THAT DIETING DOZEN.

The Review has published daily brief of the experiment being made by the Chicago Health Depart ment which seeking demonstrate how cheaply it is possible for people to live.
 It has organized eating squad, fed by dietary perts The cost of meals is fixed 40 cents day The department heads satisfied that they demonstrate the feasibility of feeding people indefinitely at that rate without causing any loss of weight or energy.
 Very likely. If they can't they will have proved that the country certainly is a bad way The 40 cents al owance is apparently only the cost of raw materials To that must be added the of fuel and all the other expenses that directly indirectly into the preparation of food for the table
 Even if account is made Of labor. rent wear and tear of kitchen utensils and dishes, etc. it is obvious that this basis the single item of food would family of five persons about S2 day, or more than $7Oo year According to economists, the total of the average American family is more than

GOVERNOR EXPECTED
 TO SIGN PROklBlIION
 MEASURE ON MONDAY
According to Reports This Is the Last Week During which Personal Use May Enter the State of Arizona.

That the final touch of Governor Hunts pen to the proclamation that will complete the drying out process in Arizona, will be given next Monday, is the unofficial announcement that was made yesterday. Coming right on the heels of the proclamation by railroad and express companies that they would not accept liquor shipments that would be en route to consignees after certain dates, this semi-ofiicial announcement receives the color of extreme likeli- hood.
 It was pointed out yesterday that the prohibition amendment would first be enforced by the carriers, no matter whether the administration affiXes it's signature today or a month from to- day. As far as common carriers can, they placed the new amendment in effect yesterday, when shipments from Los Angeles and other points were re- fused.
 Huge quantities of liQUSr are being poured into the state, as the residents are preparing not only for the Thanks giving and Christmas cheer but are making ready to stall off the drought as long as possible. The death blow to personal use will be marked by almost as big party as was the origin al prohibition amendment, two years ago next January 1. But in this case the celebration must be of a fairly quiet order.
 Canvassed returns from the state election will be in the hands of Seore- tary of State s. P. Osborn during the early part of this week. He will prob ably have them tabulated and in shape to certify to the governor by the fol lowing Monday. Only upon such cer- tiicaticn can the governor sign the proclamation, but apparently the rail roads have taken it for granted that the unofficial returns on the prohibi- ton amendment are reliable.

 News of the capture Chihuahua City by Villa serious y dsturbs the hope existing in this country that in Car ranza reposed administration of armed strength and governmental powers to restore some sem Mexico and establish satisfactory relations United In the absence of facts might explanation, it is difficult for to understand Villa could have captured one of the important Mexico and forced the defenders to fee. This would point, not much to Villas strength as to Carranzas weakness. And there known extenuating circumstances entering into the abandonment by General Trevino of Chihuahua City.

PREPAREDNESS.

From 1865 to 1885 the Republicans
were in control of the government at
Washington.
In those 20 years Congress appro
priated about $50 millions for the
navy. 1885.
When Grover Cleveland, the first
Democratic President since the Con
federate war, took the oath of office
on March 4, 1885, the American navy
consisted of junk, wooden ships with
old guns and broken down engines
The navy was, indeed, joke.
When Cleveland went out of office
four years later, the navy had its first
squadron of modern warships, the fam
GUS white Squadron" that carried
the American flag to Europe and once
more inspired respect for American
seapower.
Colonel Roosevelt, while President
in asking the Naval Affairs Committee
to vote for four battleships, said:
Il am frank enough to admit that
we could not have carried on the wal
with Spain successfully except for the
navy that was furnished to the country
during Cleveland's two administers

QUA couHrRx-ovR PRESIDENT

FACING SQUARELY the horrors Of
the Mexican situation, understanding
its cause and ultimate cure. dreading
the woe and desolation Of war. think.
ing not OF glory, but OF sorrow-stricken
homes. our President, like Abraham
Lincoln, today is praying for the sup
port OF the Almighty in his efforts to
maintain order, which Is heavens
first law"-to perform his full duty to
his country and humanity.
Ignorant and prejudiced persons who
suspect our President of playing poll
tics In this crisis know nothing Of the
purity OF his character. the splendor Of
his record. or the positive working
forces of his powerful mind.
The so-called Star of Destiny has
small attraction for men like President
Wilson. The symbol of his hope Is the
Cross. Like another great leader, in a
different cause, having long maintain
ed the patience and courage Of mar
tyr, exhausting every effort to avert
the woes Of war, our President has
risen in the majesty of his manhood
and declared: Here stand! ] can
do no otherwise: so help me God!
Amen!"
