Unwarrarted Extravaganza Of Expression

An evangelist, Rev. Mir. Price, is conducting a series of meetings Tucson. Like many his fellow Workers, he appears be given to ex- travagance of statement evidently with the purpose of rvetirg the attention of his hearers. The other night he made statement understood to make it, that Tucson the immoral town in the country. We suppose that Mr Price has told his audiences in every town where he has ap- pearcd that that particular the most immoral town in the country. That statement is stage property which, in the opinion of one class of cvangelsts be dispensed with
 of course that Tucson is the immoral town in the country. the contrary, is rather moral town towns 90 We have forgotten that Tucson took the lead of all the in Arizona in the matter of aboshng gambling by ordinance more than . year before it abol- ished by statute. Phoenix followed Tucson by some months, ard then the enactment of the statute suppressing gambling in the state; or to he more accurate, statute for the suppression of gambling. Tucson has taken the lead in other re- forms. Its position as college town gives it a natural leadership in such matters
 Tucson not, course moral paradise. We know of none in this world, in Kansas hut there is no outbreaking immortality at Tucson of which excellent citizens aware. It is hardly believable that it could exist there under their very noses, be discovered by itinerant evangelist within a day or two after his arrival.
 of course MT. Price did literally what hc said He was striving for effect rather than stating d fact His style and the style of many of his co-laborers is only modification of the violence expression of the old circuit riders who told their 'unconverted" hearers that they "har-hurg and breeze shaken hell"
 It is recognized now that that is not the most diplomatic way approach the individual sinner with the idea leading him salvation. If he has no other incentive than fear to be saved and is started heaven "hel-scairt, the chances are that will break back with the obstnacy of driven hog the panic started by the preacher has passed.
 We do not believe that it is well for preachers, newspapermcn. or others who sent to deliver messages to indulge in extravaganza of expression. Those who do so cannot long retain the confidence Of their audiences. and without such confidence their work is brought naught.
 If there is any thing seriously wrong with town, the preacher the newspaper should disclose 1t and fight against it. Many towns have been honeycombed with corruption, political and social Their offense was d countrywide stencil In such cases, newspapers preachers who would remain silent would be guilty of derection of duty But If a preacher or a newspaper forms the habit of railing at an imaginary sin, the people will not heed warning against real sin

4 Change of Thermometers

Tn local weather bureau station and. we suppose stations throughout the country, have received in- quiries from the department of agriculture the effect the service of the passage of a hll introduced in congress by Representative Albert Johnson of Washington to discontinue the Fahren- het scale in government publications and the adoption of the Centgrade. Undoubtedly. after had become used to it, would find the Centi- grade scale convenient. since the Fahrenheit scale bears the relation to it that pounds shlirgs ard pence bear dollars and cents. The same argument, though in favor of the Centi- grade, might be offered in favor of the adoption of the metric system in it's entirety. There is probably less for changing the thermometer, far the people at large concerned, than there is for changing systems of weights and measures the decimal system.
 The Fahrenheit thermometer graduated in l72O by Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit from the lowest temperature he knew-32 degrees below the freezing point. But his scale has been displaced in the scientific world almost completely his idea of the lowest temperature Scientists throughout the world the Centigrade scale, but the Fahrenheit is in popular use English speaking countries. In those countries therefore scientists ire quentlv annoyed and perplexed by the confusion in stating temperatures.
 The Centigrade system graduated in simple and rational the freezing point on it is marked the boiling point is marked 100, and thus the graduation between above and below those points is arrived at. By the Fahrenheit scale. the freezing point marked 32 degrees above and boiling point is 212 degrees above In reading tempera lures by always has such complexities as this-10 degrees below freezing is 22 degrees above zero and 1G degrees below is 42 degrees below the freezing point On the Centigrade scale 10 degrees below is 10 degrees below the freez ing point and the same consistency is found else where on it. The two scales at but point 4G below
 Before the bill presented in the house, it was submitted for criticism 200 scientists. and of 13S replies received 131 favorable The change a one than be made without greatly disturbing the people. The adoption of the Centi grade scale by the weather bureau would probably quickly accustom the people to it's Another argument for the of the scientific scale is that probably person out of ten is really familiar with the Fahrenheit scale. The greatest inconvenience would be found in converting existing records of temperatures recorded by the Fahren- hei. scale the Centigrade

it might dc when gave it recognition, then it will be time to intervene. But of all times is not the time
 If the republicans making mistake in trying to force intervention the democratic leaders also making a mistake in defending the tortuous and fatuous of the administration during the three years and are committing their party to it. It is unnecessary to do that. The issue the republicans trying raise is only of the present The republicans esopped by their silence in the past from attacking the record of the president at this late day and at this inopportune tme
 If both the republicans and the democrats in congress will stand together patriots in this matter, and if it should later appear that the Mexican government incapable of securing the lives and property of American citizens, they should promptly take the hands president, who has demonstrated his weakness in dealing with it. But it is the president who is now trial; it is the de facto government of Mexico. If should fail then would be time for congress to act without regard to the president

(Umcem@@red Sense
 and Nonsense

(By Remlik) Tn written and unWritten law"
 I heard some lawyer say; Pedestrians upon the street,
 Must have the right of way Now, if the lawyer man was right,
 Which lawyers sometimes are, We may find some violations,
 Without going very far. For instance, in q muddy time.
 " hen. with weary. dragging feet; We wade knee deep in slimy ooze,
 To get across a street; We know we have the right of way"
 Though we feel, with deep dejection, That otherwise, pedestrians.
 Don't get so much protection. It's mighty easy matter,
 In these days of flimsy shoes; To ruin them in mud baths,
 And five dollars worth to lose. And trousers that cost money, And ladies things, beside: Arc ruined. Wadins in the slime, Through which we slip and slide Candelebras of arc lights. Along q thorcughfare. Shed light upor the mud holes
 That surround them everywhere Though to walk upon the lamp posts Would be some uncommon feat, And wed rather have the darkness. And a walk across the street; While ,isitors, soiourning here.
 And living out aWays; Must be content to stay at home. Upon the muddy days. They may not go upon the street,
 Unless a iit' they hire: i For felr that they will lose their lives,
 In some unholy mre If the well-meaning city dads, f Would listen to appeal They'd come alive to present needs,
 And a weary peoples veal: 1 And should they build some crossings.
 Thongh if would he surprising: i TheF'd find that they had started. i Some high class advertising. And something should be done at once,
 To gave us the renown; That we will gain for mud holes. | And a cross roads country town. | Al least. protect pedestrians.
 And for their derelection l Put in a first class crossing.
 At every intersection. There is nothing more important.
 That can come within your view: Than the building of street crossings
 And it's strictly I'D to you; Build us a proper crossing Across each muddy street: Before we all turn mud hens | Or before We grow WeO-feet. | Don't postpone if any longer; But enforce. or make some law: Quit being like the fellow.

"A WEEK 0F SONG FUR THE SCHOOLS
Circular Letter Issued to Schools and Parent Teach
 CT Organizations

Urging the schools and parent teach CT associations to cooperate In Ma tional Week of Song" County School Superintendent, J. A. Higgins will to- day promote the movement by forward ing q circular letter to the school prin- cipals and association presidents. It has been suggested that the week of Washington's birthday, February 2l to 26 be set aside for that purpose. Tt is essential that we develop in our children a love for our country and ] just as essential that we stimulate in our grown men and women that feel | ing of patriotism which the strenuous work of every day life has pushed into 1 the background" said MT Higgins yes | terday.
 'The school shoulG not be for the children alone. It should also touch the lives of the parents and I know of no better way to bring parent and school together than by just such q eel ebration. A program given by the school is always pleasing to the par ent but he is not a part of it. This week of song can be celebrated by the parent, by the school and by both to- 1 sether. This week should have far reaching effects in the school, in the 1 home and in the neighborhood in gen. eral."
 MT. Higgins suggests that the Wash ingtOn birthday program be given Fri l day afternoon and that the parents be l invited to attend. On Friday evening he would have q neighborhOod meeting l af the school bouSe aVarvnna ioi pipU it, the song festival. Some songs that may be used are listed by Mir. Higgins as follows:
 America" Star Spangled Banner T Yankee Doodle" Red, White and Blue, Battle Hymn of the Repub- lie, Marching Through Georgia " Dixie Land Just Before the Battle Mother" "Juanita," Spanish Cavalier ' Soldiers Farewell My Bonnie,' My Maryland" Tramp, Tramp Tramp" Were Tenting Tonight" "Un- cle Ned Flag of the Free" "Old l Black Joe," The Old Oaken Buck ct" "Old Folks at Home" Annie Lau-
 rie," "Comin Thro the Rye" "Auld
 Lang Syne," Home Sweet Home, Onward Christian Soldier" "Blest Be | 'iio ilc IHdl bHluS, bou be llt

 For the evening entertainment the
 following might be added to the list

4 Republican Mistake

The republican leaders in congress, we believe making mistake in trying to force inter Venton in Mexico at this time The country will sincere but that they trying create political ssUe. A time may come when the repub- lcans may take d step of this with effect. They have missed however, many opportunities to force the hand of the president with respect to Mexico when. trough they might not have sue ceeded they would have haG the prevailing senti ment Of :he country with them. Such move might have been made with proprety any day when the Sixty -hirG congress session.
 Bu, :hs time there is reason for imme- diate intervention. The government of Mexico, for first time n three years, has definitely promised to make an earnest effort protect Americans in that country ard punish those who moest Amer- citizens And. evden,y, sincere effort :s now being made to apprehend and punish the bandits concerned in the murder of several Amer cans. Two suspected of comrlicty in that crime have already been summarily executed The government to be moving cnergetcaly as possible
 Moreover, il has an incentive of it's for the extermnation of these murderers. They berof the fila party, which be eXterminated. root and branch. before there be orderly government in Mexico Were to intervene because of this bloody incident, it is doubtful whether could accomplish more than the Carranza govern government cannot do what thought hoped
