NEW BOOKS.
The Wiser Folly
by Leslie Moore.

Will welcome this new 0ook by the
same author. The style is very much
like the former book but the setting
is different. The place is England
and the time might have been the
beginning of the present century.
Several generations before the
oldest son of wealthy family sold
his birthrieht for mess Of pottage'
and goes to a foreign land After
the death of his father and the
birth of several children. he decides
to destroy the paper and give his
children what would have been his.
His brother learns that he is in
England and is suspicious.
His wife is visiting in another
part of England at the time He
writes her about it and tells her he
is going to hide the paper but does
not say where Soon after his body
is found with bullet in his head
near him is the body of his brother
gun near him. and his throat
torn to pieces by the dog Of the
younger man. The paper cannot
be found
Several generations later a man
comes from Africa who claims
and proves he is entitled to the
property. The story opens here and
is told in a charming manner

A City Of the Dawn.

The Ivory Child.
by Rider Hageard.
More than thirty years ago this
author began a series of stories in
which Allen Quartermain figures
conspicuously
The story opens in England where
this favorite hero was the guest at
a shooting party. Later the princi.
pal characters are in India and the
story deals with the mysteries and
superstitions of that country.
1t is full of action from first to
last.

The Buifoon.
by Louis U. Wilkinson.
We we're very much disappointed
in this book. We wonder why any
one would take their time and
talent and write book that does
not have a single admirable
character in it. All the worthy
things Of life are ridiculed and the
baser part of human nature is
brought out as if it were thing TO
be proud of.
Mother love is jeered at and de-
meaned and the thought of pure
loye between man and woman
scoffed at. 1t is sarcastic and satir-
ical, without single thing to COM
mend it.

ivory, with gold for hair and starry
sapphires for eyes. Her husband
brought her to England, but she was
home-sick, and the climate didn't suit
her: so he managed to get some civil
appointment in remote part of India,
where he's stopped ever since, not
having any money of his own. And his
father was so displeased with the mar
rige he didn't leave him much. But
the lovely kashmiran princess died
when her baby was born; that's Miss
Nourma, whom they named after her
mother. And it seems that the child
of a European man and Kashmiran
woman, though almost always extra
ordinarily handsome, is just the same
as born under sentence of death. They
loved each other SO much, those two,
that they didn't think of anything

WHAT'S YOUR VOTE TODAY?


 Improvements do not come about of their accord Active agencies required. Improvements in govern ment are especially difficult of attainment. They be secured solely through the action of electorate in choosing public who will provide for and execute the needs of good government But electorate is body of voters usually swayed by ununifom and usually unappreciative of its individual importance
 It is difficult impress upon the man and what actual contained in that right of suffrage which each possesses. The rank and file of electorate prone to indifference taking the position that his her will be missed in the exercise of such influence as change results materially.
 It is generally agreed that Arizona is of tune. Dscord exists only the commonwealth but also in several communities of the State There is a we'll defined feeling of insecurity to the future.

Democracy offers to the people two candi dates for Governor One of them has been Chief Execu tive ever since statehood was secured. He seeks re- nomination. During his regime taxes have increased aarmingly until not only residents of the State have be disgusted but Arizona is held in disrepute by the outside world Scarcely penny of outside capital has been profered for investment in Arizona; mile of railroad built; weaky-drafted laws have been written the statutes but almost immediately erased because they unconstitutional and other undesir- able laws have been allowed continue force. All of the above existed during tenure of office of this candidate yet he resubmits himself for endorsement. To what extent he responsible? To what purpose would he work if re-nomnated and re- elected to the job which he held long? These questions which decide themselves when they go to the polls today.
 Democracy offers its other candidate Governor who has spent the greater part his life in Ari and who has filled accepaby positions of public private he is held in high esteem every where. Voters decide themselves whether this possesses those bigger qualifications which ernorship demands whether the redemption of the State can best be accomplished under his guidance.
 No for a gubernatoral candidate exists in the Republican primaries
 The choice Of candidates for the legislature only relatively less important than the choice a Governor Men whose legislative reflect the will of their constituents square with their own conscience urgently needed members of the legislature Voters should bear this in mind when they make their selections today.
