TIE REED AMENDMENT.

No sound stricture on the interstate traffic in liquor where one of the states IS ,:Tv, will be ,3S;cctc,l to by tie dry states. The proposed measures now pending in con- gress will be welcomed by Arizona, for they will help us attain the condition which we desire-total, absolute prohibition The Reed amendment tc the postofflce aptroprl- ation bill supplements the Webb-Kenyon law by making it a punishable offense to ship liquor from wet to dry state. During the ircumbency of Mir. McReynolds as attorney general, he held that the Webb-Kenyon l1q- uor law was not penal statute.
 The Jones amendment, barring from the mails in states having anti-liquor laws, any newspaper containing liquor advertisements, or any other form of liquor advertising, merely supports the Reed amendment, but 1t will involve greater difficulty of operation. There are some prohibition states which pre- vent the sale within such states of newspapers containing liquor advertisements and, as they have no means of preventing the entrance of slIcl. papers into the state, the offensive ad- vertsenlents are snludged by the censor. The Jones amendment transfers responsibility to the publisher and puts upon the postal ser vice the duty of enforcing the regulation.
 This proposed measure emphasizes the incongruity of a nation half wet and half dry and the incongruity Is heightened by the fact that the expansion of business and trade re- lations, and means of communication, are emphasizing the economic unity of the whole nation We, wonder whether the Jones amendment would prove practical of opera tion It would seem to impose upon all news papers or magazines publishing liquor ad- vertisements, which circulate in dry states, the task of printing ''bone dry edition for circulation in the prohibition states. It would be comparatively easy to enforce the ban against letters circulars and postal cards carrying liquor advertisements, but the effect of the law as regards newspapers will be rather involved. t, ~
 A recourse to express or freight would offer no relief, since the law would apply to intrastate mail as well as interstate, prevent ing intra-state distribution. Such law would be another stimulus to the cause of prohibit tion-Star. t,r:

WHY MAN IS THE STRONGER.

It IS strange that no man envies us that you never hear one of these lords of creation bemoaning the fact that he was born man and not woman. Time and time again wo- men will rail against the supposed handicap of their sex. Without so much as protest they let the poet write about man as ''the noblest work of God" It never so much as occurred to them to dispute deny it,
 It is refreshing and no less surprising, then to find in one of the current magazines, the Unpopular Review, an article on the joy of being a woman.
 Men are geniuses, the writer contends, merely because women permit them to be. Women lose nothing by this generosity, since 1t is infinitely more gratifying, more soul satisfying, to have made Plato than merely to have evolved his philosophy. Woman de- 1iberately and with malice and aforethought permitted herself to be saddled with a repu- tation for weakness so that man might grow strong enough to be considered worthy mate for her.
 ''Man is a tmorous, self-dstrustful ere ature," the author writes, "who would never have discovered his powers If not stimulated by woman's weakness.
 'Women, conscious how they hold mems Wel1are Tn tnelf nandS, Sl1llPly do nol udIe lo discover how strong they might be if they tried, because they have so far used their phy- sical weakness not only as means of arous- ing mems good activities, but also as means of turning to nobler directions their bad ones Men are naturally acquisitive inpeH- ed to work for gain and gold. Unable to deter them from this impulse, we let them support us, preserving for their sakes the fiction that we are too frail to suppor- our selves"

BAD TRADE.

In any town, no matter how prosperous, there IS always a certain proportion of mer- chants who complain of bad trade. They make a melancholy report of local business conditions; Nothing doing is the burden of their refrain. So far as they are concerned, there is no money in circulation
 Yet the currents of prosperity are fow- ing by their door. Hundreds of thousands of people pass their stores every day, most of them with money in their pockets, 1boundii either for some other local place of business, or on their way out of town.to buy, ~..s
 There is plenty of money and plenty of prosperity at this, time. If business IS dull or if 1t does not grow, there must be some thing the matter with us or our methods. * Usually the trouble is that the public has kind of prejudice against such stores. are" not up to date and are running along in the same old fashioned way that they did years ago:
 e The trouble in such a case is almost in- variably that that store has done nothing to bring itself before public attention. It sim ply expects the public to enter without fur ther solicitation. But the public IS not built that way: It does not care much to visit stores unless it feels in advance that 1t IS go- ing to buy something there. People hate to go into store and then walk out without buying, particularly in their home town where they are known, So having this irll- presson in their minds, little unfavorable to such stores, they simply keep away from them, or~'only visit them when they. want something quick in an emergency.
 An impression of that kind can be dis

IF NOT WAR, WHAT IS IT?

The Atlantic seaports of the United States are blockaded by German submarines.
 The fact that those submarines are op- erating 5000 miles away does not change the character of the blockade or minimize its effectiveness.
 American ships dare not leave port lest they be sunk and their passengers and crews murdered The mercantile marine of the United States IS paralyzed Piers are con- gested with freight. The railroads are de- claring embargoes. Shipments of food blocked The industrial activities of the cour- try are checked, and the German government is doing more actual damage to American commerce by intimidation than 1t could ac- complish by its U-boats.
 This may not be war but if it is not war, what is it?
 In the mean time American sailors are held as prisoners in Germany in spite of the promise of the Imperial government to re- lease them. Reports come from Berne that the American minister to Belgium has been compelled to haul down the American flag, that German officials refuse to permit him to communicate with the United States and all Amercian relief workers are held as prison CTS.
 This too may be war but if 1t is not war, what is it?
 Most Americans have been hoping that at the eleventh hour the German government would recede from its mad proposals and not make war upon the United States but that hope is destroyed Germany is maintaining the semblance of peace with the United States, but it is waging as much war against the United States as suits its temporary con- venience and purpose. When larger meas ure of war accords with the imperial plans, the larger measure will be forthcoming.
 The president has been reluctant to take any steps that might make the American government the aggressor or that might throw the responsibility for actual war upon this country. In that policy his instincts and his judgment have been sound. But no htl- man being would pretend today that the United States government whatever action it took in self-defense, could be branded as the aggressor, or that 1t would be responsible for war that is already being made against it. BGertnany's policy toward the, United States Is continuous "overt act, and might as well be recognized as such. It is war, and no other name will make it anything else.-T New York World.

The Art of E~mbaIminq,

The modern embaImers have not re-
covered the secret of the art as prac-
ticed by the old Egyptians and prob
ably never will. Some of the bodies
known to us as "mummies" buried
5000 or 1000 years ago are still in a
state OF perfect preservation. Back of
the ancient art lay a religious creed.
The ancient Egyptian believed that
after many thousands of years the soul
came back to find its body and that il
it was not found the soul wandered
forever in misery and wretchedness;
hence it was absolutely necessary to
preserve the body, and hence. finally,

Will Help to Get Pure Bred
Cattle

The Lee County Bankers are
tanning to purchase a car load
of pure bred Jersey heifefs which
will be sold to the farmers at
actual cost.
W. do not intend to purchase
just pure bred heifers, but heif-
ers that are sired by good bulls
and out of cows that are good
milk producers.
A number of farmers have al
ready made application for some
of the heifers to be purchased.
but in order to known just how
many to buy we would like for
those contempla ing getting such
stock to see the county agent for
detailed information and for
placing their orders or applica-
tons. You cannot make a better
investment than that of buying
good pure bred Jersey heifers.
If in doubt, ask the man who
has pure bred Jersey cattle.
If you desire to secure the
benefit of this plan. see me at
once. G. c. Mingee,
