Phoenix is to have a tea garden
 II remained for an eastern woman to realize the wonderful possibilities in the way of outdoor attractions that there are in the capital city of the sunshine state.
 Mrs. r. Y. Tupper. wife of the noted St Louis surgeon and world wide traveller. believes that Phoenix is one of the few places where an open air tea room could be conducted during the winter months She has leased the Rosary on North Central Avenue for the season and will utilize the north garden for the scheme which she will carry into effect immediately. By the end of the month. everything will be in readiness for the opening of the garden which will unquestionably be the favorite rendezvous for the smart set.
 The Rosary is admirably adapted to the purpose to which it will be dedi- cated. The natural setting is charm inE. Large ash trees and graceful palms form the natural screen and an artistic background for the profusion of roses. Along the borders leading to cosy grape arbor old fashioned flowers have been planted and will bloom early in the season Violets. larkspur. sweet alyssum, flax and I candytuft will run riot. In this bower of beauty small tables will be ar ranged where milady may drop in for a cup of tea during the hours of three to six o'clock.

 SOAKED ROADS TO DUNCAN

Arizona reception, bon fires in the streets a torchlight procession to the hall and an enthusiastic, cheer ing crowd with Tom Campbells name on every lip. Following the speak ing, there was a dance which lasted and Mr. Soto headed a large party that came down from the Mascot mine iE a special train for the rally, and from all directions cowmen came to greet their faVorite.

 At Steirs which is in New Mexico, Doane Merrill, the irresistible cam paigEer, who knows no state lines in his enthusiasm, approached the lounEers at the hotel and began giv- ing out his cards and Campbell's. When the rest of the party found him he was engaged in a heated argu- ment with a pioneer democrat who 9ltti lCd IL ny Sdy HE lIldl ne never voted for Tom Campbell and never would. Doane Merrill brought to the fore all his eloquence and persuasive ability in describing the "favorite son of Arizona" The New Mexican who had been a Texan when Tom Campbell, also Texan was it's gov ernor stopped short in his argument. and said:
 T reckon we have got our border lines mixed. You mean Tom Camp bell, of Arizona, but you are in New Mexico now. Your Tom is all right"
 Doane had wasted a great deal of campaign wind and a handful of cards. but the New Mexicans prom ised to step over the line and do some work for him and Tom Camp bell to make up for it.
 John l.. Gust, Doane Merrill. H. F. Matthews George II. Smalley and Max Goheen spent the day in Dua- can meeting the people and resting at the comfortable hotel and will leave tomorrow morning for Clifton.

FIERY WORDS.

Direct violations of nations sov- ereignty cannot await vindication in suits for damage. The nation which violates those essential rights must be checked and called to account by direct challenge and resistance" From Woodrow Wilson's Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination For Presi- dency.
 BUT
 The American flag is still unsaluted at Vera Cruz.
 Villa is still uncaptured and unpup lshed.
 Carranza still slaps the United States.
 There still has been no accounting for American lives and property de stroyed in Mexico.
 The whole question of reparation for invasion of American rights by vari- ous warning nations is still sleeping in a pigeonhole.
 AND
 All the direct challenge and resist anee" noticeable to the average Amer ican is included in series of notes said to possess high literary quality. If nothing else in particular.

Some time ago the New York World, Wilson's chief press organ, believing that conditions in Mexico were not as black as painted, sent a correspondent down there, incognito, to get inside information on the real status of affairs. The World expect ed to get report which would put a halo on St. Woodrow. But the World correspondent told the truth, and the story was so terrible that the World buried it in it's advertising section. The New York Journal exhumed it and presented it to the public to- gether with some pungent editorial comment thereon. It is reported that the World censor has choked off it's correspondent and will run no more of his articles. And the World boasts of it's fearless stand for truth.

Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels is said to be confronted with a very grave charge. Using his in fiuence as head of the Navy. MT. Daniels is reported to have awarded a contract for big gun shells to an inexperienced munitions manufactur- CT in Raleigh, North Carolina, the sec retary's home town. The shells were delivered, but when used in recent target practice were of such inferior quality that they crumbled sand dropped into the sea. In spite of this a contract for more shells has been awarded to this same concern. A man who does this sort of thing is guilty of more than inefficiency in office. One may be inefficient because he is a fool. But man who awards govern ment contracts to a firm of proved incompetency is something worse. The public awaits Daniels answer to the charge.

Opportunism has claims that every statesman must respect. But never has there been an opportunist in the White House of greater willingness to change than the present incumbent. The country feared 1t had placed pow CT in the hands of doctrinaire school master incapable of bending. It finds that 1t has a man of remarkable plas- ticity of judgment, who one moment stands for states rights and the next for nationalism, who one day Is pa- cifist, and the next is out-shouting Col. Roosevelt for arms and ships, who one week is for barren neutrality and the next for war in behalf of general righteousness. who one night is for collective wage bargaining and arbi tration of industrial disputes and the next is waving the flag of decreeing wages up or down as the votes of the larger number can be controlled.- New York Globe and Commercial Ad- vsrtiser.

Of course the taxpayers have no right to complain if the students are given the right kind of political training and some have even suggested that all the state institutions be given a holiday until after the election. There is an estab- lished precedent of giving the school children a half-holiday when circus comes to town.

The whole county republican ticket is made up of men capable, honest and we'll known to the people of the county. They are asking the people for their votes on the ground of merit and not merely because the salary of the office would come in handy. If hiring men merely for the purpose of paying them a good salary, is good business, the business of the people does not amount to much.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS
 REDUCED COST OF

Under the Wilson administration and the Democratic tariff law the cost to the people of the United States for 15 articles of food alone has increased in the last four years approximately one-seventh.
 An American family, under the Taft administration, that spent $500 per year for these foods, is now pay ing for the same articles, under the Wilson administration, S342 annually.
 Figuring five persons to family this is an increase of $S.40 for every man, woman and child in the United States, or the stupendous total of more than $S00,000,000.
 Under the Underwood tariff law and the Wilson administration the high cost of living has increased by leaps and bounds.
 Since June, 1912, up to June, 1916, according to the latest available gov ernment statistics there has been an increase of IA per cent in most of the staple foods.
 The Democrats have not kept their promise, made in the Baltimore plat form, to reduce the high cost of liv- ing. On the contrary every family in the United States is paying higher prices for the principal articles of food, IA per cent higher than it cost them under the Taft administration and Republican tariff law.
 In the Baltimore platform, on which Wilson was elected president, is the following plank:
 "The high cost of living is serious problem in every American home. The Republican party, in it's platform, at tempts to escape from responsibility for present conditions by denying that they are due to protective tar if. We take issue with them on this subject, and charge that excessive prices result in large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the Republican party and from such trusts and commercial conspiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws, and we assert that no substantial relief can be secured for the people without import duties on the necessaries of life are materially reduced and these criminal conspira- cies broken up."
 A IA per cent increase in the cost of the principal food stuffs is the way the Democrats and the Wilson admi- nistration have kept this pledge to the people.
