him. During the time he was seclud-
ed from public gaze in the supreme
court was he a friend of the people, as
he so urgently suggests at this time ?
Ask the hatters of Danbury, Conn.
HAS he been in position to vote for
womens suffrage or any other mea-
sure that would help the people Of
the country? Ask the registration
clerk of his home precinct.
1.-THE Republican national committee
is not asleep or overconfident But
one should not blame them for refus-
ing to spend their money like drunken
sailors in a cause they know to be
lost. 1t simply wasn't in the cards to
beat Mr.. Wilson this year Those real
ly astute Republicans have left it for
months. Now it is becoming apparent
even to us common folks.
"The Progressives of four years ago
have no reason to vote for Hughes,
while there is any amount of reasons
for supporting Wilson The Repub-
lican convention, dominated by the
same men who threw Roosevelt out
in 1912, again handled things this
year and in virtually the same way.
Why should men who left the party in
1912 go back to it now? Merely be-
cause Teddy says so? 1t is to laugh"
The writer states it nicely. AS for
the significance of straw votes, in or
binary times straw votes may have
little or no significance. But in
years when public sentiment is affir-
native in its approval of a president
such as Wilson, it indicates the great
est landslide in history. Besides there
is nothing to Hughes to appeal to any
one but the strictly partizan indivi-
dual or someone with a grudge. He
has offered nothing but carping criti-
cism. The voter expects evidence of
constructive purpose coupled with an
apparent ability to perform. Hughes
is lacking. Free Press.

va is perhaps the foremost with pos sibly one exception. Petrova's art is so undeniable so wonderful in it's sub tility, she is so beautiful and has such charm of manner, such grace of form and withall, the undefined power to make one feel by the wonder of her pantominic art that she is in d class by herself. Today she opens at the Columbia in The Scarlet Woman" which the press agent in New York is pleased to term a five act picture play of New York, the great white way and society in the metropolis. It is more than that. It is a corking story of woman struggling against the unwrit ten law that condemns in her what it condones in the male of the species.
 It's not an unclean story, not a mor- bid bid to the morbidly sensational, but a clean splendid defense in pie turization of the evils of the double standard. The man should suffer as much as the woman for his lapse in moral control. The Scarlet Woman" will further be augmented as picture value with the comedians MT. and Mrs. Drew in d sparkling one reel picture.
 PetroVa remains for but two days. Tomorrow the camera man who has been prowling the by ways and the al leys for material to show Phoenix as she really is, with the make-o will begin a two days engagement in ad- dition to the regular movie program.

the dance. Rollie Pomeroy, recogniz- ing the girl as a member of prom inent family of the south side, had rushed out from the dance to protect her, when the gun was leveled at him by Stevens, who told him to let the girl alone or he would shoot The wild drive around Tempe and the sub sequent arrest of Stevens by Officer Browning of Tempe and Keddington by Marshal Peyton of Mesa, was also dwelt upon. About this time Donald Mcqueen chanced to pass and took the girl to her home.
 How long have you known Ked- dington?" asked MT. Baker on cross examination.
 Two years"
 You were sweethearts?"
 'We went together off and on"
 You felt rather grieved when you heard he had married another girl?"
 Yes" admitted the witness.
 The three Mexicans who were pass engers of Stevens and Keddington from Phoenix to Mesa testified that they had made no arrangements with Stevens, driver of the car, to call for them at Tempe to drive them to Mesa They said they had been drinking and told of the drinking that was going on , at the dance hall. Luis Estraba was an especially strong witness for the state, making the statement that Stevens had offered him the girl for dollar. The case was continued un- til 9:30 o'clock this morning.

LOTS IF THINGS
 ON 1T RIVERSIDE

The past few days have been mighty busy ones down at Riverside, ''the new Riverside" park, not only in talk ing care of the hundreds of patrons but in the further Identification and improvement of the park in it's various departments. Of course, the big pool, being the center of attraction, has re- ceiyed special attention. A new pump to assist in the work of cleaning the pool has been installed, whose intake is lower than the bottom of the sluice gates formerly used This pumps out absolutely the last bit of water and as the water recedes it is followed ny a gang of sweepers and scrubbers, so that early Monday morning when the emptying job was completed. the pool fairly shone. and yesterday afternoon, when the pool was practically full, the
 water was as clear and transparent as any one could wish.
 Mir. Waller the new manager at
 Riverside announces that the pool will be emptied every Sunday night, and
 will he ready for bathers the next Monday afternoon Other improve ments at Riverside this week include
 the completion of the work on the big
 motion picture screen, the adding of a
 number of family picnic places, in cluding lots Of nicely located tables and chairs. The park is now quite it. self again, and in many ways is pret-
 tier than ever.
 l The dancers all approve of the new location of the dance hall, and the mu 1 sic furnished by Burney and Clay IS greatly appreciated. Dancing is on ev- cry evening except Sundays, when an extra five part motion picture Is the ! entertainment feature.

 Since receiving his degrees of Bach elor of Sciences and Civil Engineer from the New York University, MT. Crandell has been prominent in pavement and road construction.

First Days Testimony as to
 Defendants Conduct To- ward a Young Mesa Girl of Good Family of the Most Damaging Character

AlOSU DdllldSlllS NlldIdclcI
 You want to go with this girl, it will cost you dollar
 Even those who were expecting sen sational developments in the Stevens Keddington contributory delinquency case now on trial in Judge Stanford's court, were shocked at the first days testimony.
 When a stalwart Mexican took the stand and told that Paul Stevens and Cyril Keddinston halted their auto mobile in front of the Mexican dance and Stevens made him the proposition the few who were in the court room gasped although the county attorney had alluded to it in his opening state ment.
 When the case was called at nine thirty o'clock yesterday, Alexander Baker for Keddington and I. D. Sham hart for Stevens, made motions for separate trials. County Attorney Candy vigorously resisted any sever ance, and the court denied the motion of the defendants counsel.
 It was believed that there would be some difficulty in securing jury, ow- ing to the wide publicity that the escapades of the defendants had re- ceived. However, only one venireman was excused, when Harry J. Bennett announced that it would take evidence to overcome the opinion he had form ed from what he had read and been told of the case. A question that oc- , cured with frequency was, Are you a man of family?" and another, Have you any daughters" Only two un- married men were chosen, J. T. Me Ginnis and Vernon Evans.
 After the jury had been sworn in, the court excluded the public, save relatives and witnesses and a few mo- ments later the witnesses were also excluded. This latter order made it necessary for Mrs. Stevens to leave her husbands side, but throughout the day, Mrs. Keddington remained seat ed by her husband and directly be- -hind them sat the mother of young Stevens.
 When the stage was set, Mir. Candy made his opening statement. When the sixteen year old girl whom the de- fendants took to the dance went on the stand, every juror leaned forward in his chair to catch glimpse of the pretty young witness. They remain ed in that position the two hours she was on the stand that they might not miss word of the testimony, all of which was given in low tone.
 She told of that Sunday night in May, when Stevens and Keddington had come to her home in Mesa and asked her to accompany them to Tempe, where they were going to pick up passengers in their automo- bile and return them to Mesa She stated that they had stopped at a | Tempe near the railroad, a dance that has since been closed by the county l attorney. She said that Mexican ap- preached the car. She said his actions | mad caused her to make an outcry ana | that she had attempted to leave tn,
 car and walk to Tempe. When sh, | had asked the boys to make the Mexi- | can stop and not attempt to get into | the car, they had sneered. They final, left the girl alone in the car and sh, l picked up gun that had been unde | the seat and the Mexican again trie(
