CLAIM IRREGULARITY
IN VOTE At SNOWFLAKE

Quite a commotion is being stirred
up in Navajo county over Irregularities
in the election as conducted at Snow
flake We have it unofficially that de-
feated candidates on the democratic
ticket attribute their downfall to this
precinct and made an effort to enjoin
the board Of supervisors from count
ing the votes cast at that place.
In speaking of the Investigations
that are taking place in Snowflake the
Herald says:
"We have made an investigation of
the cause Of the commotion and learn
that the trouble arose with the orga-
nization Of the election board.
Through mistake the board appoint
ed by the supervisors were all demo-
Gratis with the exception of one clerk.
The republicans objected and secured
Judge, leaving the board still demo-
cratic. During the day the republican
challenger, with the advice and con-
sent of the election officers, explained
the ballot to four different voters
within the polls who were unfamiliar
with the intricacies Of the blanket.
And aside from this little infraction
there was some electioneering on the
outside within the hundred and fifty
foot limit"
1t is the rule Of such cases and in
the absence of fraud to abide by the
ruling Of the election board. In this
particular case 1t would seem that the
democrats had more than the best end
Of the argument by having four OF
their political faith on the board as
against two Of the opposing party
However, the throwing out Of a pre-.
cinct as large as Snowflake is a Sc
rious matter and would no doubt be
taken to the highest court before the
voters were DISTINGUISHED by some
little irregularity which probably oc,
Cured in many precincts in the state
on election day. The day Of fraudu.
lent elections has passed, excepting
probably, a few issolated districts
The people have spoken--abide by the
result.

REDUCING THE GLARE FROM
AUTOMOBILE HEADLIGHTS
Three Simple Adjustments are as Ef-
fective as Most Expensive
Appliances

: There is a rule Of courtesy among
the better class of automobilists which
teaches, "Do as you would be done
by" and it applies with special eml'
phasis to the use Of glaring head
lights at night Encouraged by this
spirit and by the passing Of city or
dinances against the use of glaring
headlights in city limits, more than
score Of anti-glare appliances have
been put on the supply market within
the last few months. They sell for
almost any amount. from few cents
up to six or eight dollars. Notwith-
standing the fact that many Of these
appliances are open to objection, how
ever, thousands Of them have been
sold, and if the buyer but knew it he
might have used the adjustments on
the lamps to bring about more salts
factory and efficient solution of the
difficulty without the expense.
Three operations are necessary in
order to obtain the greatest amount
Of effective illumination and keep
most Of the glare out Of the eyes Of
passing automobiles. They are:
(1 Tilt the headlights slightly
downward so that when the car is
standing on the level the center of the
beam strikes the roadway anywhere
from rs to 100 feet ahead. 1t has
been suggested that car manufact-
urers can be of great help in the cam
paign for reducing glare by making
the adjustment when the car is as
sembled.
(2) Frost or lacquer the lamp
bulbs from the tip back to within
about five-eights of an inch of the
base.
(3) Carefully adjust the lamp to
make the beam of light as narrow as
possible.
Carrying out these suggestions will
result in light of the greatest in
tensity concentrated on the roadway
at the point where the driver needs
the most light. As the beam Of light
is projected downward the intense
rays will not be high enough to annoy
or blind the eyes Of passing pede
strains or chauffeurs. No device yet
invented can prevent the beam Of
light from rising when the car comes
over the brow of hill. Under such
conditions each driver should realize
the annoyance his lamps may cause
and dim them.

1t is confidently expected in official
circles that since the Wilson admin
stration now has four years more in
control Of the executive branch of the
government, few more places will
be filled through loose administra-
ton Of the civil service law, and then
more stringent rules will be adopted
and more strict observance of the law
will be enforced with a view Of MAX
ing the new appointees more secure

Representative Warren Worth Bail
ey, Of Pennsylvania, who was one Of
the leaders in opposition to military
preparedness, is among the list Of
Democrats who went down to defeat
in the recent election. While his de-
feat may have been merely an in
cident Of the general Democratic de-
feats in his state, yet there are many
who interpret the result as repudia-
ton Of his attitude toward prepared
ness by the peolpe Of his district.

A visitor to a Sunday school was
asked to address few remarks to the

of the children who Knocked Elisha on
his journey to Bethel-how the young
ones tainted the prophet, and how
they were punished when two she
bears came out of the wood and ate
forty -and-two of them.
"And now, children" said he, what
does this story show?"

A DIRECT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

Democrats were somewhat dis
mayed on the second day after cleo
ton when they read in the New York
World, which is recognized as the
leader of the Democratic press of the
country an editorial advocating a
change in the method Of voting for
president and vice-president, so that
the voter will mark his ballot direct
ly for the individual candidate and not
for presidential electors who, in turn,
act as messengers in transmitting the
vote to the capitol for electors, and
in states that are always solidly for
one party or the other, it matters lit
tie to either party how the election
is conducted or what means are adopt
ed to prevent part Of the electorate
from casting their ballots and having
their ballots counted.
For instance, the State Of Alabama
has IL votes in the electoral college.
II is recognized by all that regardless
at the number Of votes that may be
east by Republicans in the state, those
IL electoral votes will be cast for the
Democratic candidate. Therefore, Re
publicans either stay away from the
polls in Alabama or they raise no Sc
rious question when their votes are
not properly counted But if the sug-
gestion Of the New York World were
adopted and the number of votes cast
for President in each state were re-
ported to Washington and the plurali-
ty Of all the votes in the United
States, rather than the plurality Of
votes in an electoral college, should
determine the result, the Republicans
not only in Alabama, but in every
other state in the Union would have
an interest in seeing that no Repub-
hcan voters were disfranchised in tina,
or any other state.
1t may be safely predicted that the
Democrats Of the South who have
found a means Of DISTINGUISHING not
only the colored people but a large
number Of whites as well, will never
consent to change in the method OF
eIecting President which will secure
a fair election and an honest count in
every state.

WHY NOT REVIVE
 0LD CUSTOMS?
By CASSIE MoNcLuRE LINE.

N ,@ AVE the customs of @ $: ;: j: : ::; : A y G1 @I Christmas become ESSSA 6G mere conventionali- EStGsNZ 2t ties? That is the
 like mechanical H''N ioss' 5eg tsa xit1est ~st ask; aas
 wherefore. We fol- lew like sheep the leadership of some foolish friend who either has more: cents and less sense than the average, because we are the slaves of custom. Christmas is the season for the Christ Child-when simplicity and sincerity should dominate love of ostentation- and all pretense. It is hard. in 0this day of luxury to experience new sen sation; for children are sated on the threshold of life with gifts that would have astonished George Washington and taken away the breath of little backwoods Abraham Lincoln. It is no use telling your child to eat hls red apple and suck his stick of candy with a thankful heart if little Robbie next door owns a motorcycle and real pig skin. Precious poor fun will your lit tie Mary Jane find in her rag baby if Inez Doris has ;bisque French doll that can talk. Andsso we are happy or miserable, poor or rich by contrast; those comparisons that are obvious if odious.
 YuIe Log Is Gone.
 The old-fashioned season of fun and frolic has been replaced by a meaning less, mirthless celebration. The YuIe log has gone out, and there is no fire place for old Santa Claus to scramble down and leave his gifts of simple joys for unsuspecting childhood. The steam-heated home, the sterilized ur- chin. the pure-food laws, all forbid the painted sugar cats and dogs whose green backs would have put any par rot to shame.
 let how beautiful in retrospect is the memory of some Christmas of the long ago, when, like Tiny Tim, who gathered around the. simple table and looked forward with joy to the home coming nf all tl:e family, the wonder fhl dinner of goose and the loving gr"cring, GO! bless us all '" That was wealth such as go $e-rooge could

 We Should Hang Garlands.
 The singing of carols in English will lages was good old custom and ought to be revived, as well as the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve, for the memory of the English Christmas fingers ever in the British heart, wher- ever he may be. In the early days at Jamestown, Va, the cradle of English civilization on this western continent John Smith says: @rhe extreme cold, frost, rain and, snow caused us to keep Christmas among the savages, where we were never more merry nor had more good oysters, fish, flesh, wild fowl and good bread nor ever had bet ter fires in England" Kipling, too, refers to the memory of Yuletide in his '.Black Sheep" with the couplet, At home they are making merry, twixt the white and scarlet berry," And so we should garland the house with trail ing pine, hang the wreaths of holly in the window and the mistletoe heath the chandelier. It helps others if it does not help you.
 @ Boston's Fine Example. Tr-
 Last Christmas in Boston the mayor requested everyone in the city to leave their window shades up on Christmas eve to help light the city. Such a cheerful glow as it gave to old Bea- con street and Commonwealth avenue Down in the Public gardens the city was enjoying it's municipal Christmas tree, stately fir, bedecked with myri- ad colored electric bulbs, while the band played old familiar carols that veered into popular street songs be- fore the crowd scattered. The scene was significant of Christmas now be- ing a cosmopolitan festival holding the heart of Puritan New England, whose holy of holies has heretofore been Thanksgiving. This is right, and as 1t should be, since ours is a land of religious liberty and Christmas is the season of peace and good will to all mankind"

work, upon whom devolves the en-
tire responsibility for the course.
The girls will be taught the prop
er selection of food from the stand
points of nutrition, and variety. The
preparation Of foods will be taught,
and each girl will be taught how to
serve a meal. The Importance of
regularity in eating will be empha-
sized, the eating of foods in proper
amounts will be urged. During the
course each girl must keep record
of her eating, the regularity with
which she eats and the kinds of
foods Gated. The girls with the best
habits will receive extra credit.
In connection with the work, kit
chen sanitation will be taught. Clean
illness and system will be emphasized.
The teacher in charge of the work

At these demonstrations the girls
must be present. The presence of
mothers is also urged. In fact the

take care of. There are aftermaths
of Indigestion. In great many
places 1t is day for football. The
churches are sparsely attended.
No occasion can have real sign
ificance where the principal event is
, eating big dinner. Turkey courses
do not promote moral. spiritual. or
civic advance. But there are at
least two phases of the day that are
in every way worthy of its best
traditions.
1t is still the occasion for a good
many family reunions. Not as many
as formerly. for families are scat
tered now. The servant question,
the high price of food, act as a
check. Not so frequently do you see
those enormous tables filled with
parties of ten, twenty, or thirty re-
latives. The large Thanksgiving Day
reunion is apt now to take place at
a hotel. The return to the old
nearthStOne is mucn OF mytn. But
1t is a mighty good thing to renew
the old ties of relationship. There
ought to be a certain binding re-
lation of intimacy between blood
kindred, but 1t would never survive
were It not for these occasional re-
unions.
Undoubtedly there are more deeds
of charity today than ever before.
This is the best kind of expression
of the feeling of the day, better
even than any church service. So

very best sentiment of the day is pre-
served.

The Spirit of
Enterprise.

1t is an interesting problem in bus
mess psychology to determine why
people will go to one store to trade
rather than to another. 1t is not
wholly matter of the personality of
the proprietor and his assistants,
nor altogether of the prices or the
quality of the goods sold When a
person quits his home town and goes
OFF to trade somewhere else, he does
not commonly buy the same article
any cheaper. but something in the
distant place seems more alluring.
OF course the relation of a store
to the cost of living is perhaps the
biggest factor. Prices come home
closer to the modern family than any
thing else. When a woman reads
a 5000 shirt waist can be bought
for Sl.33, nothing in the paper in
terests her so much. If she gets an
idea that he is wide awake people like
er, she will patronize it, and you
can't pry her loose from it.
A great many stores win trade by
giving an impression that they have
enterprise. They spread abroad the
idea that they have the Spirit of hus-
tie. There is nothing that the
American temperament values more
than this. If a man can give the
idea that is wide awake. people like
to do business with him. They have
confidence that he has been alert to
get the best values in the market,
and can afford to sell the same
article cheaper.
The American people have little
use for inactivity. They care little
for the business man who sits down
and waits for trade to come to him.
They respect and have faith in the
man who gets out and hustles for
business.
The one way to give this impress
sion Of enterprise and hustle is to
advertise. Personal solicitation
| from door to door might accomplish
the same result, only it would cost
twenty times as much. The news
paper advertisement gives the inn
preston that you are hustling for
business, that you are wide awake
and keen to pick up the opportuni-
ties that are going. at the most
favorable terms, The American pub
lie like to do business with that
| type of merchant.
