PLUMS SOUGHT BY MANY IN
 STATE AND COUNTY
State House Appointments Sought For-Cocllise Well Represented Looking for Ward One Alderman.

That things political have not ceased to brew with the close of na- tional, state, county and precinct elec- tions, appears certain. For in addi- tion to the recount which is now pro- gressing at snail's pace in Phoenix, there is considerable worry evinced among the Democratic faithful about certain federal and other jobs which may be. or are, open at the present time
 In the first instance Phoenix is crowded with numbers of Democrats who would like to get nice positions in the state house. There are several to be had in the corporation commis sion. due to the elevation of Harve. Betts to a commissionership and the possible release of Miss Wise froI the incorporating department. Be sides this department there will b changes in the state treasurer's office and in the auditors office. According to rumor James Mcdonald, of Bisbee may be slated for the deputyship un- der Jesse L. Boyce. auditor-elect.
 Then again there is a very nice plumb, in the line of federal appoint ments. This is the register of the fed aral land office in Phoenix, made va cant by the death of Tom Weedin some months ago Senator Mark Smith and Henry F. Ashurst were ad- vised. while in the state during the campaign, that Cochise county should be considered and with this end in view. according to rumor. Ed Hughes, present county assessor. is after the job with considerable chance Of his landing the position.
 For some reason or other there IS considerable commotiOn over the pos sibility of there being created another federal court in the state of Arizona. For each court there would be a Un- ited States Marshal and as Joe Dillon already represents the northern end of the state, some Democrat from Pr una, Santa Cruz or COchise would be in line for the other marshalship.
 Jimmie Mcdonald. present deputy in this district under Dillon. would undoubtedly be iu the forefront for the appointment. Harry Jennings. chairman of the Democratic county central com ittee in the last election, is also in a receptive mood for the appointment What effect McDon' aids acceptance of position m Phoe nix would have on his candidacy for the marshalship is hard to conjecture.
 For the federal judgeship many prominent Democratic attorneys arc mentioned Judge Franklin, ot the supreme court, and George Stoneman' late chairman Of the state committee are favorites George p4ily, oi No- gales. and several others from various parts of Arizona are ir the running however.

THE LAWYERS UNION.

he LAW Exc UNIONY - Inc
bar association is the lawyers union.
1 don't know what it's real purposes
are-whether is is a mutual admira-
ton society, a union to raise wages
or merely an organization for self
protection. I think, however, that
one of its purposes ought to be the
protection of clients and the public
from crooked lawyers. And one way
to do that is to investigate legal
crooks, put the brand on them and
kick them out of the lawyers union.
There are lawyers who are no better
than their crooked clients. Some of
them have big crooks for clients and
some of them have little crooks
hence some are high-priced and emil
nently respectable lawyers Corpora

to keep common thieves out of jail

DUMMIES PLATFORM ADVOCATES
EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR ALL
Springfield, Sept. 27.-Labor got
everything it asked for but an anti
injunction law plank and an amend
ment to the workmen's compensa-
ton act to make it include insurance
for injured workmen, when the De-
mocratic state platform was framed
at the state convention here yester-
day.
1t is true that union labor consid-
ers the passage of an anti-injunction
law of such Importance that it would
be willing to give up all other bene-
fetal labor legislation to get it, but
it must content itself with private
promises of candidates to win pas
sage of the law. Many Democratic
candidate here yesterday promised
to vote for the anti-injunction bill if
they get a chance in the legislature.
The will of Gov. Dunno prevailed
although the platform-making. He
got every plank he wanted, includ-
ing ones faVoring unlimited suffrage
for women, an eight-hour day for all
non-agricUltural workers of either
sex and a compulsory workmen's
compensation act.

CHAPTER XXI.

Bibbs was the only Sheridan to sleep
soundly through the night and to wake
at dawn with light heart His cheer
fulness was vaguely diminished by the
troublous state of affairs in his family.
Bibbs was a sympathetic person, cas-
lily touched, but he was indeed living
In dream, and all things outside Of
1t were yelled and remote-for that Is
the way Of youth In a dream. And
Bibbs. who had never before been OF
any age, either old or young, had come
to his youth at last.
He went whistling from the house
before even his father had come up
stairs. There was a fog outdoors, sat
urated with a fine powder OF SCOT, and
though Bibbs noticed absently the dim
shape OF an automobile at the curb
before ROscoe's house. he did not rec
ognize Ii as Doctor Gurney's but went
cheerily on his way through the dingy
mist And when he was once more in
stalled beside his faithful zinc eater
he Whistled and sang to it, as other
wOrkmen did TO their own machines
sometimes, when things went well
His comrades in the shop glanced at
him amusedly now and then They
liked him, and he ate his lunch at noon
with a group Of socialists who ap-
pro7ed OF bis ideas and talked Of elect
Ing him TO their association.
The short days Of the year had come.
and It was dark before the whistles
blew. When the signal came, Bibbs
went to his Office, where he Invested
himself OF his OTeralIs-his single -6I-

But when he paid the promised visit

ALL A MATTER OF THEORY
Scientists Admit They Can Give No
Positive Explanation for the Ac-
ton of Quicksand.

Many fnquirers, hearing or reading
of the dangerous and mysterious quail
tiles of ouicksand. have sought In
vain to find the difference between
these and ordinary expanses Of sand
WHY do they ingulf the unwary? An
answer to this question is difficult to
obtain and is generally unsatisfactory
when found.
It is thought by some that the diff
ference between quicksand and other
sand is accidental rather than funda-
mental. A certain amount Of unneces-
sarv mystery seems to surround this
matter. The grains Of quicksand ap-
near TO be in no way extraordinary
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
sand in certain localities upon coasts
steadily gives way under a load In

eral oufnion seems to be that this is

or mud, which no doubt in some in
stances is the true explanation One
authority. however, points out that an
other factor may be the imprisoning
of gas between the grains, due to de-
composition OF organic matter.
