SHOES $40 IN RUSSIA.
War Puts Up All Manufactures From
200 to 600 Per Cent.

ZUO TO oUU Fer OenIs
Twenty dollars for pair Of shoes,
so cents for a cigar Of the lowest
grade-these are samples of the adj
vance in prices In Russia since the war
began according to J. e. Steurwald,
who has just returned from that coun-
try, where he went as representative
Of a large American automobile con-
Germ.
"Of course all the larger Russian
cities are under military restrictions
concerning the supply Of food" said
Mr.. Steurwald. Zone is allowed to
have meat three days a week-Satur-
days, Sundays and Mondays.
Everything has advanced from 200
per cent to 600 per cent in price since
the war began. Not only does this ap-
ply to foodstuffs, but it also affects
clothing, tobacco and many esher
things. For instance, you pay 40 ru.
bles (about 500 for a pair Of shoes
and they are very poor ones even at
that price. Cigars cost from l ruble
up. Pipe tobacco is very high, ten
cent can Of smoking tobacco costing
at the very minimum 2 rubles and &c
kopecks about $1.4O. The reason fol
all Of these high prices reverts bach
directly to the matter Of transporta
ton, as Russia has plenty Of food an6
grain, but no way of transporting
them"

ROMAN CATHOLIC CONTEMPT
FOR PROTESTANT LAW.
Archbishop Blenk AGAIN Goes
Into q MurderOus Frenzy.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. J

ItaG ueHef01 Grant hetd, AND EA-
PRESSED
Then when Generals Carranza and Obre-
gon paclfed the country which Mora, Huerta,
Diaz, and Henry Lane Wilson had plunged
into a bloody revolution, President Wilson
recognized Carranzas power as the govern
ment of Mexico, an fact, and he did so in
concurrence with the ministers from the
South American Republics?
Immediately, Blenk's petticoats got into a
violent f1utter, and his fiery little volcano
belched lava
Assuming to dictate to the President of the
United States this traitorous subject of a
foreign impostor vented his maledictious. his
scurrilous abuse, and his murderous
THREATS.
Threats, against whom?
Against the Chief Magistrate of the Re
public.
And for what?
Because the Chief Executive had exercised
his authority to executively recognize the
head of another government.
Blenk-the rabid, bigoted, typical priest
Of foreign church-threatened President
Wilson with "the Ucnge0nce" of "16OOO.OOO
Catholics" and Blenk knows very we'll that
such threat might mean the assassination of
another President by another Roman Cath
Ollie.
Did the President also know this? And
did the President quail? Did his nerve fail
him?
Who knows!
What we do know is, that he turned sud-
den and complete somersault in his Mexican
policy; and that this sudden change has
vastly pleased the Pope, vastly pleased the
Cardinals and vastly pleased James Blenk.
The latest object of his venomous attack is,
the Goreymor Of Florida, HON. PARK
TR.4MNELL.
Why is Blenk's bilge-w water and sewer-flth
being poured upon Governor Trammell?
For the sufficient reason that the Governor
of Florida is enforcing Protestant laws
against law-defying Catholics
Exercising her police powers, as the State
had the right to do, Florida enacted law
three years ago. forbidding negroes to teach
white children, and forbidding whites to
teach negro children.
It is purely matter of State police, Just
as the separation of whites and blacks in
Baltimore, and other cities, is a matter of
municipal police.
The Florida law does not discriminate
against any race or creed: it applies alike
to all.
Did the Professionals obey it?
They did,
Did the JeaUs obey it?
They did
Did the negroes obey it?
They did.
Did the Roman priests obey it?
They did NOT!
They treated the law as no law at all, Just
as they treat our marriage and our laws
against State-support of church schools.
The st. Augustine priests ordered three
nuns to ignore the law, and to teach negro
schools.

Bishop Curley of St. Augustine, and the
priests who were in authority over the nuns,
Tor the nuns are helpless, after they get their
orders from the priests.
But with their usual cowardice, the priests
SUNK behind the nuns, and the Sheriff had
no option but to arrest them.
Were they put in Jail?
No. Were they impoltely handled? No.
We're they offered their liberty, on their
0acn promise to dpped1d IN court?

breakers?
Now, let us see how Blenk's gutter-snipes
discuss this perfectly legal and moderate con
duct of Governor Trammell
In The Morning Star, of April 30 1916,
the greater part Of four columns on the edi-
torial page is taken up, by the most violent
denunclatlOn of Governor Trammell-an
oath-bound official who honored his oath al
though 1t interfered qrith R0mdnist propa-
gG1edo among the negroes.
This article is already so long that I can
do no more than quote few paragraphs from
Blenks paper, my main purpose being to
show to you how Rome despises YOur laws
when they conflict with hers.
Blenk's paper begins on the Protestant,
M2C-enfOrclng Governor, thus:
The outrageous and disgraceful action of the
Governor of Florida in issuing an order to the
Shreiff at st. Augustine to arrest the Sisters of
st. Joseph in that city because they were teaching
little colored children to read and write and know
the name of God, prompts the question, Are
freedom and religious liberty doomed in America?
ls the proud boast that we. nation of free
men to become myth and farce?
We give frontpage prominence today to the
startling, the bold, the daring, the infamous,
hI0
luminous Governor in yielding to the clamors of
bigotry, blind unreasonable, unjust and a blot
upon the name of civilization in America. The
news explains the purpose of this editorial Three
years ago a law placed upon the statute books
OF Florida forbiddng whites to teach colored in
colored schools The law forbade teaching
no other word was used. The law was held to be
unconstitutional by the best legal talent in the
State and remained dead letter, the State itself
violating that law in it's Blind Institute at St.
Augustine but the Governor signed the bill and
made it law, because, if he had not, his political
career would have been closed forever.
You Will notice that no test case was made,
on the cOnstitutionality of the law the Ro-
manlsts treated it as a dead letter, because
they had been treating other laws in the
same way, until Governor Trammell put a
stop to it.
The Constitution of Florida forbids the
support of church schools on State money.
but the arrogant Roman preate, Curley of
ST. Augustine, had been trampling that high
est law under foot.
Hence, the murderous hatred of Bishop
Curley and the New Orleans fanatic.
AS to the negroes who preferred negro
teachers for their children, and who applied
to Governor Trammell for the enforcement
of the law, Blenk says:
In Holy Week the white bigots put forward six
ignorant negroes to set the wheels of the State
Court in motion against the Sisters. These six
negro men must ever be held the greatest enemies

of Pagan Nero and Caligula
The blacklist deed!
What At ST. Augustine?
Apparently, Blenl1 and his sewer pipe edi-
tors never heard of that Chamber of Horrors,
at ST. Augustine, in which n-Catholics
were tortured, tortured with diabolical cruelty,
by just such priests as James Blenk
Apparently, The Morning Star has never
heard of the perfidious, mercless, but per
fectly popish massacre of the Huguenot
colony, by the Catholics-close to St Au-
gustine
Or, is Blenk himself so typical Jesuit,
lnqusltor, and wOuld-be hereto burner, that
be considers the arrest of three Catholic law
breakers, by Pr0test0nts, worse than the tor
ture and murder of hundreds of Protestants,
By Catholics.
Probably, that is Bishop Curley's point Of
view, also.
Inevitably, Blenk winds up his vicious,
malignant TRADE against Governor Trammeli,
by making threats, just as he threatened
President Wilson:
The action of the Governor of Florida in setting
IN motion the wheels Of dead letter law which
the best legal talent, of that benehted State
declared to be unconstitutional is too far-reaching
IN It's ultimate consequences, for the present and
the future, to be allowed to pass without strong
protest and righteous condemnation Counter
action must at once be taken against this unjust
discriminating and infamous decree.
The race-separation laws of the cities are
not treated as dead letter laws
The race-separation laws on railway trans.
have not been treated as dead letter laws"
The State laws which were declaredlY
meant to shut the negro out of the primaries,
are not treated as dead letter laws"
And whenever Bishop Curley gets ready
to test the school-separation law, in the courts,
he will discover that it is not for Catholic
priest to decide which laws are dead letters
Every State in the South separates the
races in the schools; and every State has ~
similar power to lay down the law as to the
teachers.
The Romanist priests arrogate to them
selves the right to SANDER, vilifv, threaten,
and persecute those Americans who stand ND
Tor Amerlcanism against imported Roman
ism, and who fearlessly contend that no
manlst priests, nuns &c, must obey the laws
of the land, just as other citizens do.
Put this question to yourself: if these
priests of foreign church can hecl1lc and
hector Presidents, Governors, and Protestant
edltorS, n0" While they are IN minority,
qchot ciU be their tone, their tyranny, and
their murderous 0ppre&sircness, IF EVER
THEY GET TIE UPPER HAND?
Forewarned, forearmed
Blenk, Curley, Schrembs, Gibbons, O'Con-
nell, and their illl, would burn me and YOU
at the stake today had they the power, ust
as the Mora priesthood in Mexico were burn
ing "heretics," so late as 1895

They treated the law as no law at all, just

The St. Augustine priests ordered three

The negroes protested, and reported the
violation of the law to Governor Trammell,

to enforce the law by arresting the criminals.

Between five and'six hundred birds are coOped in the big new poultry building at the state fair grounds This does not include several hundred pigeons The display of poultry is be- lieved to be large and better than any previous show ever held in Arizona. From Governor Hunt, with his Emden geese, to the exhibits of the boys and girls poultry clubs, the exhibits are representative of the people of the state and are from widely separated local ities.
 The largest class in the show is that of single comb Rhode Island Reds. G birds competing for the blue ribbons. This popular variety is represented by some classy birds and the breeders who are showing them have right to feel that they are approaching closely to the point where they can exhibit in the big shows of the east and stand a good opportunity of maintaining the growing reputation of Arizona as d poultry state.
 The display of Barred and White locks is good, and some excellent spec imens of these varieties are shown. The Rocks always find plenty of admirers, and the well deserved popularity of this the oldest of all breeds, does not seem to he waning in the least The Leg horns are found on the farms and poultry ranches of this valley in great CT numbers than any other variety. but at the show this year. they are numer- ically outclassed by some other breeds. but in point of quality, the White Leg horns shown are unusual and probably no breed has received as many special prizes as has been awarded the White Leghorns.

TRAIN GOES
 INTO DITCH NEAR
 CONGRESS JUNCTION

Conductor McNeill and Brakeman Griffith. Santa Fe railway trainmen, narrowly escaped death at $50 o'clock yesterday morning when their train. q special freight, went in the ditch five miles south of Congress Junction, com pletely demolishing the caboose in which they were riding Fortunately. both escaped without serious injuries.
 As a result of the wreck, both north and south bound traffic was delayed for several hours. Wrecking crews were rushed from Prescott and Phoe- nix, but it took some time to clear the track. No. 1, southbound train, was over five hours late in arriving in Phoenix Q
 According to the trainmen, the freight was making fairly good speed when the last four cars of the train left the rails. Three of these cars were heavily loaded with ore, with the re- suit that the caboose was reduced to splinters by the force of the impact.

Most of these are sent from other states, there being ex- hibits from Kansas, California and Utah. It would seem that there is a pretty fair field for a few fanciers here who wish to get something different in breeding a few bantams.
 A very good number of bronze turkeys are shown, and the quality is there too some of them being extra good. The turkey display is not confined to the bronze as there are Bourbon Reds and White Holland. Guneas. peafoWl ducks and geese are well represented. both in numbers and quality. The dis play of pigeons by Mrs. Wheeler of Tucson is especially attractive. This display covers one whole side of the building, in the top section and runs over a little onto the end. Nearly every known variety of pigeons are found in this one exhibit. and they are said to be of unusual excellence.

 BOULDER, Colo. Nov. 1.-The goat" over which hostilities broke out early today between students of the University of Colorado and the Colo rado School of Mines and which the student body of the University of Colo rado late today reluctantly agreed to burn on the campus, was stolen to- night while en route to the place desig- mated for the bonfire. The goat" for four years the bone of contention be- tween the two universities, after death was mouSted on pedestal.
 Resolutions were adopted by the student body tonight pledging that they will drop all animosity at tomorrow's football game between the two elevens in Denver They also agreed that the students who early today went to Col den in automobiles and painted the buildings of the school of mines with red and black paint should be pun shed." The faculty exacted pledges from the students that they would hold no parade in Denver preceding the l game refrain from offensive yells and ! burn the goat.
 Members of the faculties of the two institutions held peace meeting" in of peace, it was said, was that the Colorado students should go to Col den tomorrow and remove the paint from the buildings.
 At one time today abandonment of the annual football game appeared inn minent
 Today's trouble arose over a recent visit of a detachment of Miners to Boulder in search of the goat" Billy" originally belonged to the university here. He. was paraded while alive four years ago at the annual football game between the elevens, piacarded This is the Mines goat; we have it." The University of Colorado lost the game, and the goat few days later He was killed and stuffed and placed in Mines athletic building where he remained until stolen by University of Colorado students.
 Dean F. B. R. Hellems of Colorado university, declared that unless hostil ities were dropped. he would start ac tion to withdraw the school from all intercollegiate athletics. It was au- thoritatively stated tonight that the game would be held.
