 Mir and Mrs. Chas. Hamilton, dis trict organizers Of the Knights and Ladies of Security. on Monday night organized Pioneer Council No. 296I in Johnson, with ? members, among when were many of the business men and women of the camp.
 From the enthusiasm shown and the active part taken by all present. the missing link has been provided which will bring the American popu- lation together for many good times the coming winter and assures the social future of Johnson.
 Election of officers being declared in order and the ballot spread. nom nations were made and the campaign was on. the count showing the fol- lowing were victorious.

the American flag riddled with bullet holes.
 And then show the President asleep at his desk. l show that all through. a dozen times or more-the President asleep. I show it after the attack on Columbus and after Carri- gal and after the nuns are attacked" |" near New York. Some of them were prepared at . studio at Cliffside. \. J. Some of the Mexican" scenes were photographed at Sheepshead Bay. near Coney Island. Other pictures were taken at Rockaway Poinf-the Vera Cruz of the picture.
 "A corker." Says Colby.
 Everett Colby. as Chairman Will coX's representative. was present at the photographlng of q number of the scenes He called the flm "s corker"
 The day following the Worlds ex pose. the film was privately screened for George W. Perkins, Herbert Par sons. James B. Reynolds. Candidate Hughes confidential secretary, Chairman Willcox's private secretary and other members of the Republican committee. A pow-wow followed. couple of days later. an expurgat ed, denatured and devitalized edition was thrown on the screen for mem bers of the Republican National Con- mittee. They found the historic facts" sadly less interesting than the advance notices promised. They did not even gaze on the picture of pseudo President Wilson asleep at his desk, while the toning down of the scene of the attack on the Catholic nuns had robbed It of any value as 8 thriller.
 So the committeeman agreed that, for Republicans, "Watchful Waiting" was not a success. that its defects could not be overcome; and that, the proper place for It was the shelf. So the -scsne closes" with Chairman Wilcox writing . letter to Hal Reid saying the Him could not be used. but commenting Reid for his zeal - the zeal paid for with Republican money. which sought to drag religion into the eampaisn.

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so fOrcibly reveals the des-
 perate situation at the Republican Ma
 tional Campaign Headquarters as their attempt to discredit President Wilson's
 Mexican policy by a Movie" picture directed by a pardoned convict whose
 idea of a thrill" is 6 scene showing nuns being rsvished and whose con- ception of patriotism Is the President
 asleep at his desk.
 But after all the principal is respon-
 sible for this agent Hal Reid was on iy trying to earn the S35 O0O appropriat-
 ed by the Republican National Con- mittee for a film which now stinks so loud they don't want to get within
 smelling distance of it. And they ex
 cuse themselves by saying they never knew 1t would be so rotten! The point is this-it wasn't too rotten If they could get away with it They were caught in the act of trying to put it
 over" They were caught in the act of trying to deny responsibility for it. Does anyone believe that Hal Reid
 went ahead with the faked film before he had had his scenario 0. K.'d by someone in authority at Republican Headquartersf Everett Colby's in
 dorsement, Its . corker." is sufficient proof of this.
 That 1t was in execrable taste or even treasonable-what was that to this crowd which has nothing to spend but money! The whole sordid affair is a fit parallel to the Rum, Romanism
 and Rebellion campaign which proved
 such a boomerang to the parties that
 started 1t
 What can you expect of . party
 which campaigns on abuse. vilifica- ton. slander. innuendo. and liesf We agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in won dering If there was anything in this film that was not more than suggested by Col Roosevelt in his many attacks upon the Presidents Mexican policy: He has proclaimed President Wilson responsible for the conditions that he described. Other have done the same. In view of this, why should the playwright be blamed for adapting tn. material to his medium? Can 1t be
 that the vilifiers of the President had to see these things on the screen be- fore realizing how truly despicable
 this form of attack appears to most
 peoplef
 The exposure of the character of this putrid film should, says the Eve ming World. prove . sharp lesson to Republican campaign leaders. The whole affair puts . stigma upon Re publican campaign methods."

TOMBSTONE SCHOOLS MAKE
EXCELLENT PRocRESs

The Tombstone Public schools have completed the first month of the school year. lsl6-7. In many respects this first month has been unusual In interest taken by students in their school work. and in the volume of work accomplished by the teachers.
 These encouraging conditions are largely due to the fact that the teach ing force is practically the same as last year, and also to the fact that the student body. especially in the up- per grades, is identical with that of last year. Stability in the teaching force and student body of a school system are the schools greatest as- sets.
 The statistics for the month show total enrolment of 33s pupils for both grades and high school. Of this total. 34 are enrolled in the high school. Sa far as the principal has been able to learn. this is the highest enrolment in both grades and High school in the history of ths school
 As per statistics required by law. exclusive of high school. out of 304 enrollment there ere 27S.35 belonging with an average daily attendance of 2s7.5s.
 In the high school. out of the 34 enrolled. there were 32.S5 belonging. with an average daily attendance of S2.O25.
 The following is . list of those neither absent nor tardy for the month. It might be said that teach CTS appreciate deeply, school patrons who insist on punctual and regular at tendance on the part of their chil. dren.
