It's a cyclone.
president Wilson will poll the

the support of more than half of the
progressives, and he is going to have
the support of thousands of progress

publicans.
president Wilson deserves to be
elected on the record Of his dminis-

peace and prosperity enjoyed under
Wilson constitute an argument that

She country, and my judgment is ;hat
he will be elected by the arges. pep

bled in secret session today to vote
on the acceptance OF President Will
sons plan for avertine a nation wide
strike, the railroad presidents and
managers held a final conference be-
fore going to the White House at two
O'Clock this afternoon.
There were indications that the en-
ployes would vote 20 accept Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal of a basis CT
an eight-hour day and the settlement
of the side issues by special CON-
mission.
The hope for settlement is en-
dangered by the evidences that the
railroad presidents are backing up the
managers and were not inclined to
grant the eight-hour day unless it
was decided by arbitration.
Shortly after noon the vote on the
presidents proposal was begun at the
employees meeting. It was expected
that more than one hour would be
required to take the vote and count

BY THANKSGIVING.

Representatives of several large
pipe. organ concerns have been in
the city this week taking dimensions
and figuring on bids for the new pipe
organ to be installed in the Christian
church of this city.
The new instrument will surpass
anything of the kind in the city at

much more than any purchased up TO

church, is highly elated over the
prospect, and states that he expects
it to be great aid to him in building
up the biggest congregation in the
city.
Rev. Burns has been very active
since he took charge here, and has
succeeded in arousing a great deal of
enthusiasm. He is progressive and

new organ will be a decided addition

USE CARE WITH
GRASS FIRES
At PRESENT
DRY WEATHER HAS MADE 1T Ex-
TREMELY DANGEROUS TO TAKE
CHANCES THAT ARE LIABLE
TO INVOLVE LOSS.

Yesterday afternoon the residence
of f. Il. Guillot narrowly escaped be-
ing destroyed by fire, and but for the
prompt action of the family and neigh,
bors the fire department would have
had a thickly congested district of
cottages that might have been in
famed to contend with.
A fire was started to burn some
grass in the rear of the house, and
while temporarily neglected the
flames took hold on a shed and were
rapid headway when discov-
cred. The garden hose and bucket
brigade succeeded in quenching the
flames before any material damage
was inflicted, but the family and neigh
bors were given a good scare that
will make them more careful in the
future.
The chief of the fire department has
sent out repeated warnings to citizens
about setting fire TO dry grass and
weeds that Is liable to get beyond
their control, and again wishes to ad-
monish them to be very careful about
fires and never, under any circum-
start one when the wind is
likely to communicate the blaze to
other property.

two German efforts to throw back the
Russians in Galicia have resulted in
great losses and met with no success.
The Russians have pressed forward
in several sectors.
The IulI IN the fighting on the ltal-

that the Italians are engaged in
Strengthening out their lines following
their successful offensive against the

The Passing Age of Intolerance

It is pleasing to observe the abatement of religious intolerance in this country. This is brought to us especially by communication from resident of this valley a prominent, active member of the Methodist church and earnest christian. He quoted from statement by the president of the Gonzaga Union before the American Catholic Veren St. Louis, replying the charge that Catholics had contributed funds in opposition to the Mexican government.
 The speaker said that whatever fund had been contributed by Catholics had been intended for the relief of suffering in Mexico. The Catholics, he further said, desired nothing in Mexico except that whatever form of government may be established there shall grand and guarantee such liberty of science and freedom of worship exist in the United States"
 Our correspondent added: "We Protestants as a rule do give Catholic friends credit for prog ress." He added Never in the history of the dear old Catholic church has she thus spoken. We living truly in progressive age'

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
BRAVE AMERICANS WILL NOT
 SlJRRENDER

Blind pig keepers and bootleggers are anarchists. They defy the will of the people and spit upon the law. Like the thief, thug and murderer. they are criminals. It costs money to keep them behind prison bars, but it is cheaper for the community to do that than to let them prey upon the people.
 The saloon keepers through the saloon, makes drunkards criminals, paupers, and sends people to an early grave by law. The blind pig keeper and bootlegger does the same thing in spite of the law.
 The licensed saloon keeper is the agent of the people. Like the hired man who executes the murderer by throwing on the electric current or cuts the rope that holds up the trap door, he performs an unpleasant task for the money there is in it.
 The murderer is put to death to pro- tect society. The saloon exists because there are some people who are willing 1t should debauch and destroy people as long as it pays for the privilege, and others who say that if you vote the saloon out, law breakers will sell liquor anyhow. This is demand that Ameri- can people must surrender to anar- | chists. Strange to say, numbers of American citizens cringe before anar- chists and cry: We surrender" Others, l like Benedict Arnold, sell themselves to l the worst enemy of their country and | do their utmost to give victory to the 1 destroyers of the people. Numbers of American citizens of foreign birth stand | solidly with brave native Americans who fight for human rights. George 1 Washington had many men of foreign l birth who aided him to win freedom of our country. In every struggle our country had men of foreign birth who shed their blood and sacrificed them | selves for this country. In every moral struggle foreign born citibens have l fought with native Americans to bring victory to the cause of righteousness. Many foreign born citizens are today 1 struggling with native Americans to | crush the saloon, but unfortunately | numbers of native Americans join the enemies of law and order and sobriety and bring defeat to the cause of righte- ousness. It is pitiable that descendants 1 of revolutionary heroes and warriors of later wars say we must surrender to the blind pig keeper and bootlegger. | They haul down the stars and stripes and let the law breakers hoist the black flag of riot and ruin.
 They would let this country change from the land of the free and the home of the brave, to the land of the spree and the home of the knave."
 Every license vote is a white flag of surrender to the lawbreakers. Brave Americans, native and naturalized, will not surrender to anarchists Law breakers shall not rule this land Of ours. Obedience to law is liberty and is the highest type of civilization There shall be enforcement of law where necessary in order to have per feet obedience to law. The lawless liquor traffic must go. We will mol
 have the saloon or the blind pig. Witt the help of God the people shall rule

Automobile Accidents

The disregard of traffic regulations was the cause of a fatal automobile accident on Sunday. It is strange that there such accidents consd ering the disregard of the regulations relating to speed and rules of the road One of most danger violations is that of passing the right pre- ceding vehicle. When that is done accident is almost certain If it does not that fortutous fact may be set down accident which might not happen again.
 The driver of the vehicle in front warned by the horn. always, or should always the right If he should do so, there would be collision The driver who passes to the right of vehicle should arrest ed and fined So too should the speed regulations on city streets and country roads be rigdly enforced.
 There is no reason why thoroughfares should be burned up at speed exceeding twenty five miles an hour If one wants to go faster let him hire a race track.

 KINGMAN, Aug 2S-The visit of Tom Campbell, republican candidate for governor, to the democratic stronghold of the state has given the republicans of Mohave county such re- newal of energy and hope that many Of them are predicting the election of the republican county ticket
 The democrats are divided by local differences of opinion and the people generally are dissatisfied with the way things have been going under demo- cratic control In the northern part of the county. where taxpayers are called on to bear a portion of the expense for improvements in Kingman, which is not incorporated, and in addition have been entirely forgotten in many Of the things they have demanded there is open hostility to the present county administration.
 The republicans have strong men in the field, and are out to win control of county affairs and give the people of the whole county fair deal
 Tom Campbell's personal strength in MohaVe county is apparent wherever he goes. Not only are the people friendly to him personally, but they believe in his policy of fair deal to all, which is eXemplified in his public service in Arizona, and they are seri- ously considering whether Arizona can afford to lose this opportunity of se- curing his services in the greater field opened by the governorship.
 As mine operator, many of the min CTS in Mohave county worked for Tom Campbell and they are spreading the word of his fairness to labor and his genuine interest in their desires to bet ter the condition of the workers. He does not have to appeal to the miners for his past record of many years as an employer of miners stands out to vindicate him, and the hundreds of men
