That even great moral reforms
should be accomplished through
immoral methods is certainly
debatable ground. That popul-
GUS communities should impose
restrictions of conduct, no matter
how desirable, upon the people
of distant states who are oppos-
ed to such restrictions is not
moral, is not ethical, and in the
case of National Prohibition is,
what is much worse from a
practical standpoint, an absolute
ly infeasible scheme.
The passage by Congress at
this time of a National Prohi-
bition Act would not enhance
the morals of North Carolina and
Kansas and would breed an utter
contempt for all kinds of law in
New York and Pennsylvania.
Prohibition of the only per-
manent type, individual prohi-
bition, is gaining ground with
every advance of education and
science it can only be hindered,
not helped, by clumsy statutes,
carelessly enforced, and the pro-
hibition agitators should adhere
to the campaign plans which
have already made dry twenty
three states and not jeopardize
all future progress by i'll consider
ed efforts to club the more popu-
lous States into submission by
constitutional amendment.

Seals Have Business Value

To enable their policy holders
to live as long as possible was
the sole reason for a large life
insurance company buying last
month 43, Red Cross Christ
mas Seals at one time. This firm
made the statement that their
action was dictated solely by
business reasons, and that they
could not for any reason claim
any credit on the score of phil
anthropy. They believedit good
business on the following
grounds:
That the presence of tuberculosis
means a great financial loss to
the community, and its greatest
ravages are found among the
poor.
That it is more logical to spend
money to get rid of the disease
than to reflect the cost of sup
porting it's victims in an increas-
ed tax rate.
That the affection Of the bread
winner of the family with the
disease means lowered efficiency
and less earning capacity, which
in turn means a lessened power
to provide the proper nourishment
and environment to successfully
combat its growth, and that his !
incapacity often throws his
family upon the public charge.
That no one makes a profit up
on q dead man but the under
taker, and he makes it only once,
whereas a live man is a constant
source of profit to every one with
whom he does business, and the
more alive and the more prosper
Gus he is and the more business
he does, the greater are the
profits of those with whom he
deals.

A pretty decoration for Christmas
which Is so easily made that the little
tots can do most of the work, Is paper
chains. Silver paper and blue paper
make the prettiest. Cut the paper
into four-Inch squares, then cut the
squares into strips one-fourth inch
wide, and paste the ends of the little
strips together, linking them as you
go. Silver alone Is very pretty, and
alternate links Of blue and silver give
an attractive effect. The paper costs
five cents a sheet. so the expense Of
the decoration Is small.

BILLY MACK TO
INSTALL MILL
PLANT TO BE ERECT.
ED THIS EALL-AIR COMPRESS
soR AND DRILLING MACHINERY
SHIPPED FROM CHICAGO.

According to letter received in
Parker during the past week from
Col. William Henry Dove, secretary
of the Billy Mack Mining company,
operations on large scale will be
inaugurated at the company's mines
near Parker during the coming fall
and winter.
Tests of the Billy Mack ore have
been made in Chicago during the
past few months, and the directors
of the company have dcided to in
stall 507ton mill as an experiment,
and if it proves successful, the capa-
city will be increased.
The process to be installed is
known as the c. L. D. process, and
it is said that the greatest possible
saving can be made from the ores of
the Billy Mack with this type of mill.
An air compressor and portable
drilling outfit have been ordered and
shipped from Chicago, and the ma
chinery is expected to arrive in
Parker in about week.
After the installation of this equip
ment a deep working shaft is to be
sunk on the Billy Mack property.
Every indication points to striking
large ore bodies on this property up
on reaching the sulphide zone. The
surface shows teaching to consider
able extent. and only in the harder
formations have the copper values
been retained.
H. M. Higginbotham, treasurer, Col.
William Henry Dove, secretary, and
d. n Condit, mining engineer, will
arrive in Parker about October 1
for the purpose of inspecting the
property and perfect plans for future
development MIR. Condit will at
that time take over the active man
agement of the mine.

A MILKING BEE.

tuesday afternoon last was milk
ang day in Parker, and if the tactical
fluid flows anywhere near as freely
in that blissful land of "milk and
money" as dt did in this town on that
day, it is safe to say that the fond
est hopes of the faithful will be more
dhan realized, and great will be the
rejoicing i'm The Sweet By and By
This milk shower was a surprise, for
1t came as Unexpectedly as the
mama which descended from heaven
to feed lsrael's hungry host, and was
brought about through the transpor-
tation by rail of a herd of milch
cows from the San Joaquin valley
In California to Phoenix. The cattle
We're unloaded at the stockyards of
the Santa Fe company In order to
feed and rest them, and as it was
necessary that they be milked, word
was passed around to the townspeo-
pie that every person bringing pail
or other vessel could have all the
milk he could ''toat,'' free gratis.
Dozens took advantage of the oppor-
tnnity, and, while it lasted, all the
automobiles in town were scurrying
back and forth at lively rate while
many people covered the distance on
foot
oil Mt L., IL
and everybody tried his hand at milk
ing, whether he knew how or not.
Among these amateurs was Banker
Spence. whose back profile loomed
UP against the cows side like the
up-ended broadside of a family bible
as he labored industriously with the
bovine teats What Spence lacked
in knowledge as a milhman he more
than made up in dogged patience and
perseverance, for which all due credit
should be given. The champion milk
maid, however, was Miss Mamie Hos
felt, who stripped COW after cow as
deftly as a Down-East Yankee at
skinning cells. There We're other
ladies who did fairly we'll but none
could come up to Miss Hosfelt.
The men whose duty it would have
been to milk all those cows wer
'tickled to death with the "lift"
given them, and as a source of di-
y ersion to our townspeople, a pre-
arranged picnic or a barbecue could
not have been more enjoyable than
this impromptu affair.

YUMA COUNTY
BOND SALE

very interesting question has
arisen in Yuma county with reference
to the action of the board of super
vlsors in disposing of the issue of
five hundred thousand dollars in road
bonds.
The situation is very well set forth
In answer to aquestion in another
department of this issue of the Mag
azine. 1t seems that the bids were
advertised for in accordance with law
for the sale of the bonds and a num-
ber of bond houses submitted bids,
all OF which were rejected Fol
lowing this the board of supervis-
cars appointed what they termed
fiscal agent whom, it is said, was,
prior to that time, an agent of one
of the bond houses who submitted
a bid, and agred to pay this agent
the sum of 28,5OO.OO for services
In selling the bonds, for the expense
of printing the bonds, etc, and to
pay this amount out of the general
fund. ALI OF, which appears of rec
ord.
The bonds, instead of being sold
to a competitive bidder, We're sold
at What appears to be private sale
arranged by this fiscal agent There
is no question as to the county re-
ceiving the $500, 100000, but there ap-
pears to be decided disposition on
the part of the taxpayers to question
the legality of the action of the board
in paying the commission for the
sale of the bonds out of the general
fund of the county, and particularly
such large sum as was paid.
Most of the bond issues of the state
have been sold at more than par
without any commission being paid
and it would seem that Yuma county
has paid a considerable premium for
the marketing of her securities. just
what the situation will disclose after
all of the facts have been ascertain
ed is problematical but certainly this
sort of finance is not conducive to
the welfare of the taxpayers.-TaX-
payers Magazine.
