MASQUERADE ON NEW YEARS EVE
 TO BE FOR ALL

Seventy-fve cents will be the price of admission at the masquerade bal! to be given under the auspices of the Arctic Brotherhood next Monday even ing. The special committee having the event in charge states that prac- tically all those attending in costume expect to go alone so as not to give themselves away and the men will perhaps go unaccompanied by ladies and the latter ditto. Each person will therefore be able to fork over their six bits, go into the hall, and none will be able to penetrate their mask. 1t was announced today that the grand march will start promptly at 9:3O o'clock and all will unmask at mid night.

better goods just as cheap but he
fails to tell the people what he has
for sale. People are looking for
bargains in everything they want
to eat or wear and the man who
can furnish goods at less price
than the other fellow, gets the
trade. Newspaper advertising gets
the business and people scan the
ads as carefully as they do the
society news. This is proven daily
when the printer makes an error in
setting ads and when dozens of
people call him" on mis- placed

ever, that you cannot expect
thousands from an ad that only
costs you cents any more than you
can expect wholesale trade from

We have them in Ely as we'll ,

We have them in Ely as we'll as
everywhere. We mean people who
think the town was built for their
Individual benefit and who never
do anything of a public nature
calculated to help anyone in parti-
cular or the town in general.
These are what we call knockers"
and the sooner they get away the
better satisfied the real citizens will
be. They give you very strongly
of their moral support and pay you
nothing but their respects. This
goes a long way towards helping

The Socialists have fatty gone
on record against every man that
processes his love of country, and
is bent on driving out of its ranks
every man that pleads guilty to
patriotism. This is fine business
at this time when patriotism is
needed and is looked upon as a
badge of honor. The attitude is
not strange one however. 1t is
a noticeable fact in the range towns
where many locals hold forth that
the members are non-citizens by a
large majority-on basis of about
9 to 1. The Socialist party is
digging its own grave as rapidly as
possible and had they not been
bolstered up considerably by an in
hux of aliens during the past few
years, would not now be in
existence. The country has been
very tolerant with its aliens. War
will put a different phaze to the
situation. Some of the biggest
and brainiest men in the party have
lately seen the trend of the alien
membership and have withdrawn
from the outfit. The party machine
is menace to Americanism and il
appears very much as if to be a
Socialist one cannot be an
American. Socialism in this
country is purely anti-government
and it makes no difference which
party is in power. There is alto
gether too much alienism connected
with the red-rag bunch.

The astounding proposition
comes from a member of the Senate
to save money for the people" by
cutting down from $4,000 to
SIS, 900 the proposed appropriation
for the battle against an epidemic

more amazing that such PROPOSE
ton comes from a physician, DIR.
Andrews of Mankato.
Save money for the people by re-
ducing the means whereby it is
hoped to save their children from
death or deformity through a
terrible disease.
What will be thought of this by
the fathers and mothers of Mime
sofa who are dreading a return of
the epidemic of last summer and
who see their only hope in such a
campaign of preparation as the
proposed appropriation will make
possible?
Who Can conceive that the
opulent State of Minnesota, dealing
in figures of millions upon millions,
would balk at spending limit Of
$4,000 when the lives and hap.
piness of it's little children are al

Why, it is proposed to spend
more than that to secure an electric
device to record the roll calls in thu
Legislature! And more than thai
to buy system of counting tn,

It is the lives and UNFINISHED

COMMISSIONERS TO
HOLD MEETING ON
COUNTY SEAT MATTER

The county commissioners of Co
chise will hold a special session at
the court house in Tombstone to can
vass the petitions for removal Of the
county seat The result of this exam
ination of the. petitions. regarding
their validity. etc, will depend
whether or not a special election will
be held to vote on the location of the
county seat.
Douglas has agitated the county
seat removal recently, and there has
been some talk in Bisbee of going after
the county capital. The same argu-
ment against Tombstone's extreme
and undesirable location could be used
against Douglas. The Warren distric.
is the center of the county's popula-
ton and wealth. But far be it from
the Review to start any county seat
fight a. this time. This paper merely
mentions the fact in the case, as it is
bound to do in behalf of its own COM
munity. If the commissioners find the
petitions adequate and legal, and then
call county seat election, it will be
time enough then to talk about the
claims of contestants and the claims
of Tombstone to hold the seat of gov
eminent she has held so long.

CITY COUNCIL MEET;
P0LICEW0MEN MAY
Be APPOINTED HERE

At the council meeting last night
Mrs. Fred Reynolds and Mrs. Harry
A. Stewart, representing the Parent
Teachers association. asked for the
appointment of policewoman fol
Bisbee. The council referred the mat
ter to Chief Allison for investigation
and report.
The council discussed at length the
necessity for strict economy in ex.
penditures for the next four months,
especially for street work. The floods
last summer necessitated so much ex.
ira street work that the budget for
that department was exceeded BY
some $4,000. For a while last summer
street cleaning gangs were busy the
greater part of every week after a
heavy rain cleaning the streets of the
business section of debris washed
down the canyon. The work was i'm
perative If traffic was to be main
tanned through the streets.
Collections for the month of No
vember, according 10 the report read
by the city clerk, tOtaled S16.4I3. 40.
OF this sum S40S was realized from
police court fines.
There were five fires last month.
only one Of which caused much dam
age. The total fire loss was about
$1,000
