VI over the first young man she had ever met? In her heart of hearts the girl did not know.
 Her father!
 It was all so terribly and tragically simple, to match a woman's mind against that of a child. Both Norton and the sober Jones had explicitly warned her never to go anywhere, receive telephone calls or letters, with out first consulting one or the other of them. And now she had planned to deceive them, with all the cunning of her sex.
 The next morning at breakfast there was nothing unusual either in her ap- pearance or manners. Under the shrewd scrutiny of Jones she was just her everyday self, fine bit of acting for one who had yet to see the stage. But it is born in woman to act. as 1t is born in man to fight and Flor ence was no exception to the rule.
 She was going to save her father.
 She read with Susan, played the piano, sewed little, laughed, hummed and did thousand and one things young girls do when they have the deception of their elders in view.
 All day long Jones went about like an old hound with his nose to the wind. There was something in the air, but he could not tell what 1t was Somehow or other, no matter which room Florence went into. there was Jones within earshot. And she dared not show the least impatience or res tiveness. It was a large order for so young girl, but she filled it.
 She rather expected that the re- porter would appear some time during the afternoon and sure enough he did. He could no more resist the de- sire to see and talk to her than he could resist breathing. There was no use denying it; the world had sud denly turned at new angle, present ing a new face, roseate vision. It rather subdued his easy banter.
 What news?" she asked.
 "None." rather despondingly. I'm sorry. l had hoped by this time to get somewhere. But it happens that l cant get any further than this house.
 She did not ask him what he meant by that
 Shall I play something for your" she said
 Please"
 He drew a chair beside the piano and watched her fingers, white as the ivory keys, flutter up and down the board. She played Chopin for him, Mendelssohn. Grieg and Chamnade; and she played them in surprisingly scholarly fashion. He had expected the usual schoolgirl choice and execu- tion; "Titania," the Moonlight So- nata" (which not half dozen great pianists have ever played correctly, Monastery Bells" and the like. He had prepared to make martyr of himself; instead, he was distinctly and delightfully."- entertained.
 You don't" he said whimsically. when she finally stopped, you don't, by any chance, know The Maiden's Prayer'?"
 She laughed. This piece was standing joke at school
 'I have never played it. It may, however, be in the music cabinet. Would you like to hear it?" mis- chievously.
 Heaven forfend!" he murmured, raising his hands.
 All the while the letter burned against her heart. and the smile on her face and the gayety on her tongue were forced. "Confide in no one" she

MOTHER JONES.
(Arizona Gazette. )

George Willy Paul Hunts friend and ally Mother" Jones, who spoke in his behalf at the city hall plaza last night, effectually estranged from the governor many a vote that he might otherwise have received.
 The spectacle presented by an aged woman, belching forth vile blasphe- mics and spewing insult and contempt on every good institution and on the noblest of her sex, was one to bring the tears to the eyes rather than any harsher feeling.
 What can one say of the men who sat and cheered the aged blasphemeI to the echo?
 What can one say of the governor who inflicted this disgrace on the state of which he is the dishonored head?
 Mother Jones said she had spokeI to Hunt but twice and then fol about ten minutes" at time. DiC she imagine that she was addressing set of fools who would believe sucf statement? If it is true, they tran sacted a pile of business in that twen ty minutes.
 One wonders what the noble womeI of the state think of the foul mouth ed virgo who called them ''cats an( parasites?''
 What will the women of the churches think of the woman who would stand in public and say that she is mo working for Jesus but for prosper ity?"
 What do the methods of the statt think of the woman who said tha she never saw a rotten son who hat not had a rotten mother? Hunt, Waite and Algeldt! In sootf glorious trinity and with Mothel Jones as their chief apostle.

TH|EL DETECTIVES
 GET THEIR MONEY
Effort to Hold Up Payment of $2,256 to Them Meets Failure.

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 19.-County Attorney John F. Ross sprung sur prise this morning on the applicants for an injunction to restrain county officers from paying the Thiel detec- tive agency for services rendered in securing evidence against bootleg gers. The application for an injunc- tion was to be argued this morning, before Judge Lockwood, but just be- fore the case came up MT. Ross filed demurrer to the aplication.
 This had to be acted on first and after arguments by attorneys that con- sumed a large part of the morning, Judge Lockwood granted the demur- Ter, thus automatically quashing the application for the injunction. Attor- neys for the applicants announced they would appeal the case to the state supreme court.
 It is hard to see, however, what useful purpose this would serve, for the action sought to prevent the pay. ment of the money, and the money has now been paid. Following the courts decision the Thiel company agents presented their demand for $2, ,256 O5, which had been approved by the board of supervisors, and it was paid by County Treasurer Harry S. Ross.
 J. c. Erwin of Douglas represented the applicants for the injunction but did not reach here until 11:30, after decision had been rendered. Alexan der Murray, of Bisbee, acted for him

MALIGNING THE HOME GUARDS.
 (E1 Pas0 Horaldl

The Arizona State Federation of La Dor has unanimously adopted reso- lution opposing the formation of home guard" organizations, viewing them as menace to labor.
 In this the federation seems to have made bugaboo of nothing. The home guards companies were organized without thought Of organized labor or of strike duty, but for the purpose of protecting the homes and lives of the public, union men included, at time when it was believed war be- tween the United States and Mexico was imminent.
 That the public, including the union men, so regarded the formation of the guards is indicated by the fact that no protest against such organization was raised by the unionists at that time. To tell the truth, they were probably cheered by the news that brave and patriotic men, desiring to be of con- munity service, had volunteered for home guard duty wnere no troops were available. No doubt the laboring men slept more soundly at night in the knowledge that home guardsmen were going without sleep uncomplainingly to patrol the streets with their pistols at their sides and their rifles on their shoulders.
 The time of danger being apparently past some of the guards organiza- tions have disbanded and others are keeping up their driI1s and their tar get practice for individual benefit, partly for entertainment and partly in the belief that some time their coun- try may need their services in a mili- tary way.
 But now the Arizona labor fedora tion sees in the home guards men ace'' to organized labor.
 The suspicion is ridiculous and un- worthy of the intelligence the fedora tion has shown in other matters.

WHOM THE GODS WISH TO DESTROY THEY FIRST MAKE MAD.

With the date Of the Primary election rapidly approaching the supporters of Gov ernor Hunt in the Democratic contest are giving a wild exhibition as set of poor losers. Led by Mother Jones and John Dunbar, vituperation and political slime IS being resorted to in last and desperate ef- fort to stem the political wave that is sweep ing over the state in favor of decency and law and order. Blasphemy, islander, and lntimi- dation of democrats who refuse to enroll themselves under the red flag, IS the key note of the Hunt campaign in this state. In the meantime the staunch democrats of this state admire the dignihed and fair cam paign of their candidate for Governor, the Hon. George A. Olney. The attempt of Mother Jones to belttle the efforts of the women of this state has put every good woman in the ranks fighting for law and or der and good government. The political handwriting is on the wall. The mad rav ings of the defeated political gang cannot stem the tide. The democrats of Arizona, with George Olney their leader, are march ing straight to victory and the snapping and snarling of the imported and paid soap box spielers will not swerve them from their duty.

A CITIZEN OF AMERICA.

To be citizen of America is a privil- ege. which carries with it responsibility. Abraham Lincoln valued the privilege and recognized the responsibility, as the follow ing, referred to many times in the public prints, most truly shows. At this time the words of the martyred president may be read again and his doctrine accepted and act ed upon to the advantage of every person. He said:
 ''I am a citizen of America and an heir to all her greatness and renown. The health and happiness of my own body depends on each muscle and drop of blood doing its work in its place. So the health and hap piness of my country depends upon each citi- zen doing his work in his place.
 q will not fill any position or pu' sue any business whereby can live upon my fellow citizens without doing them usef,n service in return, for I plainly see that this must bring suffering and want to some of them. I will do nothing to desecrate the sril of America, or pollute her air, or degrade her children-rnv brothers and sisters
 "l will try to make her cities beautiful and her citizens healthy and happy, so that she may be cesired home for myself now, and for her chllren in days to come

MANUFACTURERS IN THE UNITED
 STATES
Census Bureaus Summary Concern ing the Country for 1914.


 WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 20.- A preliminary statement of the gen. eral results of the census of manufac- lures for the United States has been issued by Director Sam L. Rogers, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. It consists of a sum mary comparing the figures for 1909 and 1914, by totals, prepared under the direction of MT. William M. Steu- art, chief statistician for manufactur- ers
 The figures are preliminary and sub- ject to such change and correction as may be found necessary from fur ther examination of the original re- ports.
 The census of 1914, like that of 1909 with reference to manufactures, eX- cluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood indus tries, and took account of only estab- ! lishments conducted under the factory system. In the last census also, as in that for 1909, statistics were not col lected for establishments having pro- ducts for the census year valued at less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a portion of the census year, or which began operation during that year, and whose products for such req son were valued at less than $500. The word establishment" as used in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or controlled and operated by single individual, partnership, corporation, or other owner or oper- ator, and are located in the same town or city
 The reports were taken for the cal endar year ending December 31, 1914, wherever the system of bookeeping permitted figures for that period to be secured, but when the fiscal year of an establishment differed from the calen- dar year report was obtained for the operations of that establishment for it's fiscal year falling most largely within the calendar year 1914. Percentages Of Increase.
 The population of the United States at the census of 1910 was 91,972, 266. and it is estimated that 1t was 9S,7S1,. 900 on July l, 1914.
 The summary shows increases at the census of 1914, as compared with that for 1909, for all items except pro- prietors and firm members, for which slight decrease is shown.
 In the order of their importance from a percentage standpoint, the in, creases for the several items rank as follows: Salaries, SIP per cent; cap ital, 23.7 per cent; salaried employees 22 per cent; primary horsepower, 20.7 per cent; wages, 19 per cent; mater ials, 1S.3 per cent; value of products, l17.3 per cent; value added by manu. facture, 15.S per cent; wage earners 6. 4 per cent; and number of establish. ments, 2.7 per cent.
 Capital Invested
 The capital invested, as reported in 1914, was s22, ,OOO, a gain of s4,362, ,61O,OOO, or 2S.7 per cent. over

CRUCIFYMG ARIZONA WoMANHOOD.

Y
 Woman's right to vote will be exercised in Arizona this year never before. The woman's vote will represent potential cleo tive force. If arrayed solidly for or against any candidate or candidates, it may well con= stitute the balance of power. If the women of Arizona accept their suffrage responsibili- ties fully, their influence will be of trenlen- dous import.
 It is therefore essential that every wo- man voter inform herself thoroughly con- cerning the merits of candidates and the de sirability of issues. One of their own sex, appearing under the auspices of one of Ari- zona's gubernatorial candidates, is touring the State in the interests of the cause which that candidate espouses. This campaigner's name is Mother Jones. She is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf. It is the duty of the wo- men of Arizona to inform themselves con- cerning this spokeswoman of one of Ari- zona's gubernatorial candidates. Remember, she is his Ip-servant and what she says he endorses. Such teachings as contained in this lip-service are either good or bad. Let the mothers and wives and daughters in Arizona decide under which heading they come. Mother Jones spoke in Phoenix Tuesday, and while pleading for support for the third term candidate who stands sponsor for her, she said among other utterances:
 "The Ministers in Colorado told the women to vote for Jesus and they got 1t in the neck
 l"They say I am profane. I am not working for Jesus but for Prosperity"
 "Cats and Parasites of the Women's Clubs and the Temperance Brigade! We don't want em rowling for us.'
 ''We don't want Sunday Schools. We've had enough of them We want to fight"
 Perhaps, Women of Arizona, it IS un- wise to 'work for Jesus You ought to know.
 Perhaps, Women of Arizona, you, too will "get it in the neck'' if you 'tvote for Jesus,' SO ponder well before you cast your ballot.
 You "cats and parasites of the wo- men's clubs and you earnest workers i'll the temperance brigade your votes are not wanted. Jones and her candidate don't want you rowling for them.
 All the mothers and wives and daugh- ters in Arizona who would banish the Sun day schools from Arizona, stand up and be counted! Place yourself on record as hay ing enough of themP'
 Surely, if the time has come when it is desirable for the women of Arizona to cease to "work for Jesus" it is also high time that mothers stop teaching their children to lisp, 'Now I lay me-" and Ave Maria" Bring up the boys and girls in Arizona with out knowledge of the sufferings of Christ or the anguish of Mary of Magdalene Man hood and womanhood in Arizona may or may not benefit vastly thereby. The women of Arizona know best.
 Might 1t not be well to stage Gethse- name in Arizona and celebrate the agony and crucihxion of Arizona womanhood?
 Jones and her candidate please serve as a committee on arrangements
