 All merchants suffer from this hydraheaded monster which eats up the time of their employees in making sales which do not stick and which throws back into the stock of the deal of merchandise that is either actually damaged that has been kept out so long that place in the procession and must be marked at a loss to insure its ultimate sale
 Health boards have found in the returned goods evil very valuable material for research work concerning the spread disease and whether not any very matera advance has been made in curing the evil or finding remedy for it. certainly many stacks of statistics have been piled up
 And in regard to this evi it is fair to say that at least eighty per cent is due the shopping mania of idle women who find in looking merchandise of one kind another. and pretending to buy it, very good and pleasant method of killing time
 Not only is the return of goods nuisance from which merchants suffer they also put to no end of loss money through the habit some women have large cities where such ourages may be per petrated taking up salesmans saeswomens tima' pretending to make a purchase and having it sent C.

BUILDING THE NAVY

It is hailed as great triumph for national defens' when congress passes the bill providing for a bgge navy And difficult as it has persuade congress to authorize building program calling for the expend ture of nearly s6OO 100000 warshps in three year that probably the easiest part of the task It remain to build those ships. and to get the crews for them
 The measure provides for four dreadnoughts an four battle cruisers to be built next year It calls fo 157 ships altogether 66 of them to be started immediate ly How those vessels are to be built within the tim assigned is problem that doesn't seem to have bee given much attention The capacity of existing federf shipyards is of extremely limited All our prVato shipyards already working day and night and nav orders enough keep them busy for months ahead an even for years There is more insisten demand for merchantmen than there for w,shps, under the stress of present high freight and the scarcity tonnage due to enormous war losses. Government or ders cannot be given precedence in many withor breaking contracts Besides, shipbuiders may not b eager to build the warships, with 20 per cer bonus because they can make money at presep in private work hardly possible that this gres number of warships can be constructed promptly congress seems to expect.
 And when they are ready will there be enough me for them? There is already shortage of many tho sands Many warships ahoat are only half manne Others ready to go commission need complete crew And enlistments are very slow. If cannot keep or nresent navy recruited up to full strength, how can raise the additional 2OOOO men voted for the navy ar the several thousand voted for the marine corps?
 It can be done of course But not unless these pro lens are taken up and handled vigorously as was |

GRAHAM COUNTY IS BOOSTING OLNEY IN
 COMING CAMPAIGN
Olney Club Meets at Stafford and Arouses Enthusiasm for Popular Candidate. Rec ord of Man Commended

On Monday of last week there was a fine meeting of the prominent demo- crats from every section of Graham county at Stafford. These gentlemen have organized a George Olney club for the purpose of campaigning for NIT. Olney's nomination as the demo cratic candidate for governor. The fol lowing from the Graham Guardian tells of this splendid meeting;
 Monday evening at the court house, there was held the first of series of meetings of the Graham County Olney club.
 To say that the meeting was an enthusiastic one, is to express it. mildly. The court room was filled with representative men from all parts of the valley. and considering the short notice given the attendance was all that the most ardent supporter of NIT. Oney could wish for.
 If the subsequent meetings to be held at Thatcher. Pima and other points of the county are as well at tended by So enthusiastic followers of MT. Olney, his majority will be so large that the present governor will look in vain for any returns from his county.
 Dr w F. Platt. as chairman, pre- sided and II. D. Dubois was secre- tary
 After stating that the purpose Of the meeting was to discuss ways and means concerning the campaign of Mir. Olney. Dr. Platt called upon the secretary for a brief outline of the subjects under discussion.
 W. w. Pace was the first speaker to be called upon. and his report of the trip through Apache county with
Bisbee daily review., 1916-07-25

Mir. Olney was intensely interesting. MT. Pace found that the people of Apache county wanted a change at the state house; that every man was in terested in MT. Olney's success. If every county in the state was equal 0 Apache county, his election would be assured.
 Mir Pace knows from experience of Gov. Hunts political machine and how the taxpayers of the state are being made to pay for the campaign he is waging to succeed himself. He spoke of the legislature and how the penal code was vetoed by the gOver' nor after an enormous expense in putting it in shape for passage. The audience agreed with Mir. Pace that the state needed a new governor, one who could be depended upon to take council with the legislature and work in harmony with all the people. rather than serve only a class of transients, who are here today and gone tomOr- row.
 A. c. Peterson spoke on women's suffrage and expressed the sentiment of the wLole of Arizona when he said that this question has been settled and could not be taken up again. Yet, the record of Mir. Hunt, as president of the constitutional convention, shows that he was against suffrage and that he is too much of a politi clan to let the women know he op- posed it.
 z. c. Prina told of his early assOcia- tions with Mir. Olney and how they worked against prohibition as a busi- ness proposition. Today they both see their error and they both are for pro hibition. The law demands it's en- forcement and under Mir. Olney would be enforced.
 The subject of taxation" by John F. Weber, was much appreciated hy every one present. He fcld of M~. Olney's long fight to make the rail roads and mines pay their just share of the taxes Mir Olney gathered data and found that Arizona was receiving just about one-half of what New Mex ico and California were receiving per mile in taxation from the railroads. It was only after a long fight that was eventually carried through the courts that the railroads and mines were made to pay their just share NIT.

He was found always on the side of right One who believes in fair play to all the people. Initiative laws were ably explained by Judge McAlister. The so per cent law and the mothers pension law were taken up and showed how they failed to meet the requirements. In less the different subjects in the law be placed in the title and great care be used in framing it, the constitu- tional requirements will not be met and so they are declared unconstitu- tronal by the courts. It is safe to vote on any initiative law if it is not pro- perly framed. Scrutinize each law carefully and vote intelligently.
