! was made spokesman OF InlS com-
mittee, the chief of police being asked
to and did accompany the committee
on its visit to the cannery managers.
A crowd numbering several hundred
men followed a short way behind the
committee. On an occasion of this
kind where public lopinion was at
white heat, it is likely that individuals
in the crowd talked too much and too
loud but | can find no evidence that
any attempt at violence or disorder
occurred.
Several of the cannery managers
were interviewed and informed the
committee that it would be hard to
| change conditions at that time, as
| they had contracted months before
the canning season opened with Chi
nese contractors for their labor sup
| ply The cannerymen promised, how
ever, to meet with the committee the
| following day to talk the situation
aver. O'Grady says that several of
the crowd said, wen go out and
burn the canneries now if you say
| the cannerymen should be given a
| chance to do the right thing. At any
rate the crowd dispersed for the night
after doing no more damage than a
little loud talk. The following morn
| ing Sheriff Wells arrested O'Grady
on a charge of ''inciting to riot" and
he was taken to the county Jail at
Mt. Vernon 1t is significant that not
a single citizen of Anacortes could
be found willing to be deputized as a
peace officer. O'Grady refused to &C
cept bail for about a week until At
torney Hoover of Seattle was brought
into the case by OGradys friends, a
$500 peace bond arranged for and
his release given. Sheriff Wells states
that he might have been released on
bond within twenty-four hours. O'Gra-
DIV contends he had committed no
crime and purposed giving the au-
thorties something to worry about.
There are those who aver that o.
Grady at the mass meeting used high
ly inflammatOry language. 1t is aver
red Just as stoutly that he was tenn
perate in his language. The tense
ness of the situation should be borne
in mind. 1t is easily imagined that
the widest threats might be deduced
by those against whom the demonstra
ton was aimed from words considered
mild by a crowd whose sense OF IN
Justice was strongly stirred. Sheriff
Wells possibly feared very serious
trouble and thought he was taking
the most practical step by removing
the head of the opposition from the
scene. In my judgment the sheriff
erred. O'Grady had the confidence OF
the people l was with him in Ana
cortes the day after his release from
the county Jail and our progress VI
the street was constantly halted by
people who wanted to congratulate
him. 1t is undisputed that he worked
hard to get a conference of all IN
volyed interests and that he held the
street crowd back from violence
Feeling deeply the injustice of his ar
rest he has been willing ever since
to put that in the background II the
results the public wanted could be oh
tanned another way than by publicly
dwelling upon his wrongs. He has
taken this attitude in spite of the fac
that many of his friends urged him t'
sue for illegal arrest.

CONCLUSION

| am more than ever convinced
that there is a principle eternally
sound in the foundation of the trade
union movement. 1t was freely pre-
war would wreck the trade unions of
Europe The contrary has been the
case. Standing in parliament a short
time ago, William Lloyd-George dra-
matically stated that the trade unions
of England held the outcome of the
war from England's standpoint in
their hands. When peace comes the
trade union movement of Europe pro,
poses to have a hand in the settle
ment, which will include better indus
trial conditions for Europe's toiling
masses.
The Federal Industrial Relations
Commission has in its report lent adj
ed weight to the fundamental princi-
pie of collective bargaining, declaring
it to be imperatively necessary that
labor shall collectively bargain if it
is to receive recognition under our
present system.
The same commission made an.
other significant statement:
political freedom can exist only
where there is industrial freedom
political democracy only where there
is industrial democracy. Inves
tigation has shown that the degree OF

The Goddess of Chance

has often been claimed by the psychological ex- perts that the so-caed gambling instinct is inherent in human nature exists to greater or less extent in each and of the of men. Nor should except the daughters for whatever the sons of in Phoenix may he doing behind closed doors, the daughters of men rather openly frequent the bridge parties and their with wild aban don, have been told.
 It is pointed out that the disposition indulge in speculation shown in the earliest Biblical records and that the inscriptions the tablets found in the lowest ruins of the buried cities in the plains of Mesopotamia show conclusively that the in the street in the ancient city of Nppur devotee of the Goddess of Chance.
 It is only within the last half century that the public lottery which enabled persons all classes life to tempt fortune has been drowned upon by ganized governments. Even today, in countries lotteries conducted officially part of the chinery used in repenishing state treasuries In this country and others, public and private lotteries have been placed under the ban of the law but the streak of human which made this form of speculation popular has been entirely eliminated In England where the old time lottery least ostensiby barred the speculative spirit finds outlet through the activ tes of insurance companies which will offer and will give odds the chapces involved in practically any proposition brought before them which contains element of uncertainty.
 The latest evidence of the survival of what may definitely be called the betting instinct comes from London The dean of St. Paus who is regarded austere and somewhat pessimistic representative of the cloth is quoted saying: If I betting man, which of course am not, would give two to peace before Christmas" Here have clear indication .of this inherent instinct to take chances, held carefully in restraint for worthy pur poses For will be observed that the clerical gentle does offer bet odds of that this unprecedented, cruel will to end be- fore Christmas. But he holds out the hope to the people that the carnage will before Christmas. It is to be hoped that like Uncle Toby's oath the record of the admission by the dean that he would if a betting man. give odds that this orgy of boodshed will end before the Christmastide, will be plotted by the Recording Angel from the Book of Remembrance.
 What the effect of this conditional bet may have upon the flock the dean is uncertain. The uncon- dtional betting of real money has more convincing effect upon the multitude

NEW DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEEMAN
 [|VES92 MILES FROM RAILROAD

Whenever Fred Colter, recently elected demorcatic national commit teeman for Arizona is summoned to a committee meeting he will drive an automobile 92 miles to the nearest railroad station. But the cost of the trip won't bother him much, even if gasoline does go to 30 cents a gollon.
 Golfers home is at Colter, Apache county, and the nearest sta ton is Holbrook. The way to Hol- brook lies over rocky hills, across in- numerable sand washes and through the picturesque Terrified Forest It is quite safe to say that attend ance upon committee meetings will cause him more trouble than any other member.
 For all that, he is in politics mere lv for sport. Cows and reservoirs are his specialties and politics is merely a side line Years ago he was per suaoed to run for supervisor of his county and he was beaten by fifteen votes. That aroused his sporting blood and he has been winning po- litical battles ever since He was elected supervisor. then a member os the Arizona constitutional convention. state senator, national committeeman.

MUST LYMAN BE ELECTED
 IN NOVEMBER
Some Lawyers Hold to the View That Term of Judge of Superior Court Will Not Expire Until Janu- ary 1, 1919

AS. to whether Judge Frank Lyman will have to stand for reelection next fall, attorneys are divided. It had generally been understood that. the term for which he was appointed after the creation Of that division of the su- perior court for this county by the leg islature a year ago. would expire on January 1 of next year and he would 5e succeeded by judge regularly elected next November.
 Some attorneys regard the appoint ment the same as one made to fill ] vacancy and that, under the constitu- tion, the appointee shall hold office until the election and qualification of a judge to hold said office which cleo tion shall be at the next general cleo tion, and the judge so elected shall hold office for the remainder of the unexpired tenn That seems plain enough but other attorneys point out that there is another way of looking at it. @
 { They say that the appointment was not made to fill vacancy but that when the office was created it became not a separate office but merely a division of the county court for Mari copa county, whose term. as fixed by law, will not expire until January l. 1919; that there can be no election for 9 part of the court; that the appoint ment of Judge Lyman could not have been made for any period less than the term.
 The matter has been informally presented to Attorney General Jones. who declined to commit himself, say ing that he would not care to do so at this time as the question would prob ably be brought before him officially, and beside. he said he had not looked into the law. He admitted however, that the contention of those who be- lieved that the appointment of Judge Lyman had been for the full term, on the face of it merited consideration. It is matter that will have to be settled before very long for the secre- tary of state must issue notice of the primary not less than sixty days before the holding of them and they must be nc,d the eighth Tuesday before the general election. The notice. therefore cannot be issued later than early ir July.

Gleason, it is said attempts to bring home to Amer readers some conception of the wholesale martyr dom of the little kingdom, and how at the same time it has raised the Belgian people above themselves That the Begians before the were soft. pleasure loving, haphazard, and rathr superficial that their nationality being sapped year after by Ger money intrigue, and patronage, and that by one act of defiance King Albert made Belgium nation, said to be few of Mr. GleasoISs assertions. The Belgians fully aware, he believes, that however great may have been the horrors they have already faced they nothing the horrors still to come when they begin to push the invaders back over the doomed territory behind where their fathers and their mothers living now. under the German flag.

 to be seen. In the first 75 miles it passes only two small Mexican will lages. At their camp fires at night along the road the American sol diers sing Broadway songs, out of sight and hearing of any Mexican observers.
 Few of the thousands of troops en-
 tering Mexico saw any Mexicans until
 they were close to Villas supposed

 cross the mountainous ridges which bound both sides of the American
 road they would scarcely ever catch sight of the Americans, for the army went into this chase stripped for speed Usually the only sheltering of the soldiers, are the field dog tents just large enough for a man to lie down in. Long dry grass frequently hides all except the tops of these tents.
 The large base camps are supplied with the usual conical brown army tents, but along the lines of cOmmun- icatiOn, where important patrol, work must be done it is not unusual to come within few paces of q camp before discovering it's presence. Few Mexicans have ventured at night in- to the vicinity of their we'll guarded road. Three who were drowned Tues day night near a large camp mount ed horses and galloped away as a patrol approached them.
 The most overworked men along the military road are the camp cooks At all hours of the night pack trains

FLOWERS FUR MAYOR
 FROM FLOWER SHOW

When a great, big box of beauti ful flowers were delivered or Satur- day to Mayor George U. Young, the executive was non- -plusseI. He did not suppose anybody thought enough of him to remember him so gener- ously. He ascertained that delivery had been made through Donofrio, and card inside the box indicated that it was sent with the compliments of the National Flower Show now in session in Philadelphia.
 The sending of the flowers, strip ped of the personal element was a distinct compliment to Phoenix, the capital city of the baby state. And Mayor Young appreciating this sent the following acknowledgment by wire:

Shakespeare's First Theater

In connection with the tercentenary commemora- ton of the death of Shakespeare, interesting to recall that when Shakespeare first began be inter- esed in the drama there was not theater in England Small companies gave their performances in inn yards. and important ones in guidhas or in the mansion of some nobleman. According to the Chris tian Science Monitor, John Burbage who was a car penter and joiner well actor, conceived and Tfeater and stood just outside limits of Shore ditch
 Puritan preachers bitterly opposed the project but Burbage was persistent and the was com- pleted in l576 For twenty years Burbage man aged the theaer though with small financial success It is said that Shakespeare gained much of his know ledge of the stagen this playhouse In 1897 the lease of the land which the theater stood ran out and the landlord refused to it.. Much controversy followed and finally the theater down and re- erected on another site. It completed in the spring of 1898 and named the Globe It was built mainly of wood and had matched roof
 Shakespeare, it is related, was closely identified with the affairs of the Globe and there some of his greatest plays had first notable productions them Henry v," Much Ado About Nothing" :" Ham let" "Othelo.' Macbeth" "The Winters Tale" and Henry VIII" The daily receipts at the Globe prob that the smallest of the Phoenix moving picture houses would regard inadequate
