turned delegates to the Democratic
convention. held in Colorado Springs
last Thursday to select delegates to
the National convention, to be held
in st. Louis next month, We learn
there was complete harmony in the
ranks, as regards both state and ma
tional politics.
AS regards to national affairs Mr.
Benight says there is no question
but what the majority of the electors
Of the state will sustain President
Wilson in the wise and diplomatic
manner exercised, i'm not only sus-
tanning the dignity and honor of the
relations with Germany and Mexico
but has conducted them in such a
skillful manner, as to free us from
war, and win the appreciation of a
large majority of the American peo-
pie.
He also says that the state Dem
ocracy is a unit for any Democratic
candidate for governor, who will give
us q business-like administration, and
such a candidate will win at the polls
| in November. We earnestly hope this
may be the case. and warn the par
ty that they must put forth their best
talent to gain the voters support or
1t will meet it's Waterloo. as it did
two years ago. The following Is a

GROWING OF MARY

The Catholic church was filled be-
yond capacity Sunday evening at the
'Crowning OF Mary" exercises. All
the boys and girls of the parish par
ticipated and were beautifully attired,
principally in white. AS they march
ed through the a,sles, carrying
boquets OF flowers. singing with all
the clearness and sweetness of WE'LL
trained voices, the scene was one of
unusual brilliancy and inspirational
effect. Father Naughton spoke with
splendid oratorical force, explaining
the purpose of the Catholic devotion
to Mary, the mother OF God, that pro
foundly impressed both the members
OF the church and non-Catholics, the
latter of whom were present in num-
bers. Father Naughton's tribute TO
the grandest friend OF mankind. the
noblest of Gods crsatures-Mother-
was clothed in the eloquence and
beauty Of speech which is only heard
from the lips of tie natural orator.
The perfect work of the children won
merited praise for the good Sisters
OF St. Joseph, whose efforts in the
training of their charges are always
crowned with success.

PROGRAM FOR
COMMENCEMENT WEEK

The program for Commencement
week is one of unusual interest this
year. The Baccalaureate exercises
will be held Sunday, June 4, at IL
a. m, at the Presbyterian church,
Prof. Clark officiating. 1t was an es-
pecially happy Thought Of the class of
1916 to suggest that Prof. Clark be
asked to preach the Baccalaureate
sermon this year. The class has
been under his instruction for three
years of their high school course
and they and the faculty have felt
that the community Is very fortunate
In being able to secure Prof Clark
for this occasion.
On Tuesday, June 6, at S:15 p. m,
at the M. E. church, the Seniors will
hold their Glass Day exercises. At
this time the exercises will be entire
ly by the graduates and they have
planned some very novel and original
numbers. which they believe will
prove very interesting.
On Thursday, June s, at Sis p. m.
the regular Commencement Exercises
will be held at the opera house. DR..
Loran d. Osborn, head of the Ex-
tension Departmen of the State Uni
versity will deliver the commence
ment address on the subject, "The
Overflow"
Miss Andersen has a number of
different musical numbers under
training for all of these occasions.
The program will probably be print
ed in next weeks issue. No charge
will be made for amy of these exer-
cises and the public and friends of
the graduates are cordially invited
to attend.

CLEANUP WEEK

AS our forefathers set aside a GER
tain day Of prayer for their happy de-
livere1ce from King Georges rule,
even SO has our enterprising city
fathers, set aside this week, as clean
up week, and ask, through the col
umns of the press, that all residents
clean up their back and frcnt yards
from the accumulated debris of the
winter and deposit the same ian some
place accessible to the city garbage
wagons, that will remove the same
at city expense.
This offer by the city relates to
the natural accumulation Of cans, deat
vines, ETC., and does not relate to
the debris arising from the grading
of lots.
There will undoubtedly be a great
er influx of strangers to our city this
season than for many years, and 1t
behooves each and every one to so
improve Their yards. by planting grass
and flowers that the stranger will be
delighted with the town and be eager
for return. Let every housewife
plant the nasturtium along the garden
wall, and In a few weeks its bloom
ing vine will cover many an insight
ly wall and transform the same into
a bower Of loveliness.
Every citizen should have the good
Of the town at heart and can afford
to spend q few hours each day in
beautifying his place, and at the same
time cultivate aesthetic ideas. Let
each strive to he the peer of his
neighbor.

BOND ISSUE CARRIES
BY BIG MAJORITY

The proposition Of voting bonds in
the sum Of $91 900 to fund the debt
OF the City of Central, which was
voted on Tuesday, carried by vote
OF "A to 6. Only taxpayers who had
paid property tax for the preceding
year We're eligible to vote and this
no doubt is the reason for the SEEM
ing lack of interest. Before the prop
osition is finally accepted an ordi-
nance will have to be published and
adopted by the city council. Shortly
thereafter, the bonding firm of Sweet
Cansey, Foster & Co., will turn over
to the City of Central $S4,0OO in cash,
the total debt OF the city, including
$11 900 in interest, and take the $91,-
600 in bonds. The difference between
the $4,000 in cash and the S91 900
in bonds. represents a bonus which
the city is paying the bond buyers
for handling the bonds.
This scheme Raises the total debt
os the city to $91 900 and makes the
interest bearing dett $4,000 more
than it was prior to the issuance of
the bonds. The $11, 900 of interest
now unpaid is not interest bearing,
and of course the $1,000 bonus does
not exist. This $1,000 and $1,000
will be represented by go bonds up
on which amount tile annual inter
est will be S1,0S0. The bond issue
runs 10 years, but a certain amount
OF bonds is redeemed each year. But
presuming that this $4,000 runs Is
years or thar if $4,000 of the debt
remains at the expiration of 10 years
land if the debt isn't reduced any
faster in the next Is years then in
the past Is years-as matter of
fact 1t has increased there will be
at least $4,000 of the bonds still
due and unpaid) the total interest
the city will have paid on this am
ount will be 10 times 81 ,0SO or S16.-
200. Add to this the $1,000 of bonus
as principal Gust the interest on
this sum has been considered in che
above figures) which will give total
of $23, 200 This $23, 200 is the amounl
it is going to cost the City of Gen.
tral eventually for temporary finan-
c.al relief at this time, and possibly
great deal more. If the entire bond
issue Is not redeemed in Is years or
even, Should $4,000 of the bonds rur
for !Snger than Is years. The war
rant holders will be benefited by the
bond issue, but the taxpayers will
feel within a very few years the
weight of the additional burden that
is placed upon their shoulders by
this extravagant and unbusiness-lke
move.

THOMPSON GUILTY
 IF B0OTLECG|NC
Takes Jury Short Time to Decide That Accused Man Is Guilty-Claims
 He Is Too III to Attend

M C. Thompson was found guilty of bootlegging by jury in Judge Stan ford's court yesterday. Two ballots were taken.
 When the case was called yesterday Thompson was not present sending word he was too i'll to appear. Dr. Sargent, it is understood, refused to certify that he was unable to attend. He was brought to court by the sheriff. At the noon recess, the court realizing his condition granted him the privilege of remaining in jail until the case was called again at one thirty.
 County Attorney Clyde NJ. Candy in his opening statement to the jury told of the arrest of Thompson on June 4 one half mile west of the Hassayampa river. He said Thompson refused to stop when so requested by the officers and had to be chased a mile before he was taken into custody. The officers found the automobile in which Thomp- son was driving from California to contain 364 bottles of beer which Thompson said he was bringing in for his personal use. He was asked if the car of whiskey that he had brought in the week before had been for his per | sonal use, but he denied this outright. ! The states case was clearly proven by some half dozen witnesses. Henry 1 Turk, the ferry boy at Parker. John | Roberts, constable at Parker who had ! arrested Thompson for violating the 1 amendment. Bernard Roberts anC | others who had seen him along the | rooute on several of the trips on eaci occasion of which his automobile was loaded with liquor.

 Although he did not introduce any evidence for the defense, he and Asso. ciate Counsel George Stovall argued tn,
 case at length. Mr. Struckmeye
 practically branded his client
