SMALL PArERs MAY SUSPEND

Straight dope on the print paper
handed out at Washington
indicates that many of the smaller
papers in the United States may have
to suspend operations next month,

which might well be emulaed in this country. 1t has
for its avowed purpose the minimizing of city, viii
lage and countryside gossip which, it is to be appre
hended, has been encouraged somewhat through the
introduction of the telephone The movement for the
formation of an anti-gossp crusade, as it is called
is said to have had its origin in English village
where coroners jury, in the of the alleged sui

1t appears from the record of the coroner's in
quest that the young had been guilty of MOTH
ing actually but it is stated that the gossip
disseminated by the women of the village backened
her name until she could bear the suspicious looks
and spoken taunts no longer. and so she ended her
life" As an outcome of the incident-and the just
of the verdict of the coroners jury appears
to have been questioned-a society formed and
elaborate set of rules made and adopted Under
its constitution all classes in the community, rich
and poor, from the humblest vilager those who
sit in the seats of the mighty. eligible to

and for infractions of the Tines ranging from

mutual Improvement society that they hope to MINI
inize the number of idle gosspers because they are
convinced that the offenders talk scandal more
from matter of habit than through any malicious
desire to injure another" a casual examination of

A prominent citizen of Prescott who at the be-
ginning set out to defy the prohibition law relying
upon preponderance of public sentiment in that
community against it has again been convicted of its
violation No doubt he feels that he is cruelty in
jured man and that privilege which he enjoyed for
many years-of the unrestricted sale of booze
til he COMPOUNDED the privilege with unalienable
right, has been tramped upon He naturally in a
of rebellion Whatever the people of Prescott
may think about prohibition, there is doubt of
their respect for whatever has been enacted into law.
In this county have just concluded one phase
of the crusade against vioators of the prohibition
law The work is by no means finished here or any
where else in Arizona. We know that liquor is be-
ing sold almost openly in many places and in places
in this town but believe that it will be only
short time before the offenders will be trapped and
trust that then the courts will impose such punish

of those who have not yet been caught.
1t is an easy procure these

that jurymen have taken. that unless the guilt
of the defendant is shown beyond even unreason-
able doubt one or more members of the jury will in

In most cases the evidence against bootleggers is

and criminal enough to entertain this sort of rot
They do not look at another side of the matter
and that is that of decent character is apt
to be suspected of bootlegging. The fact that

that he is guilty. public is prepared believe
that such is guilty of any crime that might be
charged against him He is lower in the scale to begin

If he not engaged in bootegging he would
probably be engaged in the respectable avocation
of stealing hogs or robbing hen roosts.
All the who have been accused Of bootleg

not been convicted but the chances that none Of
them have been wrongfully accused. The word of a
