The whisky interests are max
ing their last final stand on the
question of driving the saloon
out of Washington, and they are
insisting that the matter should
be left to a referendum vote of
the residents. In other words
they want Congress to surrender
the power conferred on it blythe
people of the United States to be
the governing body for the
District of Columbia, and turn it
over to the idle rich, the gam
blers, habitues of the underworld,
and other ilk of that class who
have taken up their abode in the
District of Columbia. If there
is any place in the United States
that should be kept free from
all moral vices, of which the
saloon is one, that place is the
seat of the nations government.
Let Congress do it duty, and not
dodge responsibility.

Gov. Campbell is sore disap-
pointment to the Winslow Mail.
He is an anarchist! Listen to
this declaration of principles in
his address to the legislature:
State employees should be requir-
ed to measure up to the standard
ability demanded in commercial
life; there are too many holidays
and vacations are too readily
granted; state clerks and en-
ployes should be required, to
work eight hours. Wow! what's
the use of getting a political job
if a fellow has to have brains
enough to do the work, and has
to work eight hours a day. Po-
litical jobs have alwas been con-
sidered a legitimate graft for the
relatives and friends of Office
holders and politicians, who want
to saddle the expense of their
keep on the state, and to attempt
to overturn this long established
custom is worse than treason!

Campbell De Facto Governor.

The state supreme court, in a
decision rendered by Chief JUS
tice Franklin late last Saturday
afternoon, held that Gov. Thos.
E. Campbell is the de facto gov
ernor of Arizona, and entitled to
perform the duties and have
peaceful possession of the execu-
tive Offices that Mr.. Hunt had
refused to surrender. The court
holds strictly to the rule of other
state supreme courts in similar
cases that the official canvass of
the votes show on their face that
Gov. Campbell received a major
ity, and in mandamus suit they
have no authority to go behind
the returns; the question of the
legality of the election r rnust be
taken up in a regular contest
proceeding before the courts.
No writ of custer was issued
against Gov. Hunt, the Court
taking the generous view that
he would at once vacate the Of
flee on learning the decision of
the court.
The contest for the possession
of the office was started last
Thursday in the superior court
of Maricopa county, and before
the governorship middle is final
ly settled this case will have to
be decided in the superior court,
and undoubtedly passed on by
the supreme court.

A hill has heen introduced

A bill has been introduced in
the legislature to increase the
salaries of the superior judges
$4,000 a year, which is some raise
in view of all that was said dur
ing the late campaign about
more economy in the administra-
tion of state affairs. If salaries
are to raised let the legislature
create judicial districts, and re-
duce the number of superior
judges about one-half. One
judge could handle all the su-
perior court business in all forr
of the northern tier of counties
and not be over-worked. At
present these four judges are
drawing $12, 900 a year, and with
the proposed increase they would
draw down $4,000, and the re-
cords of the court Will'show they
are working less than half the
time. 1t is probable the same
condition exists in all the other
small counties of the state. If
salaries must be increased then
reduce the number of judges by
dividing the state into districts,
and give us a little of the econo-
my we heard so much about in
the campaign and see so little Of
in fact.

lawyer who explained to his client
that the prosecution had several
witnesses who would t sfity
positively that they saw him
commit the crime, and that the
jury would be guided in their
verdict by the preponderance of
evidence. And the prisoner told
the lawyer that he could bring
in a hundred witnesses who
would testify that they did not
see him commit the crime, which
ought to clear him before the
jury.

Prison reform is running riot
these days and it will not be long
before criminal will have more
comforts and advantages than
an honest man. The real ad-
vanced theory now is that all
crime is a disease, and the Grim
inal must be given the same
careful attention as an invalid.
Pure cussedness and a desire to
avoid honest work is no longer
an element to be considered.

The worst has happened. We
just knew it was coming! De-
signers for women's apparel in
session at Chicago announce that
with the advent of spring trous-
ers and overalls will be part of
milady's wardrobe. The reason
given is that the women can get
about easier with their work if
they are garbed in trousers in
stead of skirts. TIL e women
have appropriated everything
else of mans wearing apparel in
the years past but his trousers,
and now they are going.

Since our last issue we have
been informed that the real cause
of the dismissal of Prof. Colodny
from the state university was
because Mrs. Colodny led a
crusade against the red light"
district in the city of Tucson,
where some of the regents of
the university owned the proper
ty and were getting enormous
rents for it's use. 70 punish Mrs.
Colodny for her activity in this
moral fight the regents dismiss
ed Prof. Colodny from his posi-
ton. We do not know wheth-
er this statement of the alleg-
ed facts is true or not, but one
thing is certain the governor of
Arizona should investigate the
title to the property in the sec
ton of Tucson where the "red
light" district was located, and
if he finds the ownership vested
in the name of any of the regents
or their immediate relatives, in
all justice to the state he should
demand their designations at
once. Any man who rents pro-
perty for houses of prostitution
is not the kind of a citizen that
should be in control of the state
university. This is a matter the
governor can settle definitely by
having the records investigated,
as it will prove conclusively who
is the owner of the lots and
houses in the old prescribed
district of Tucson. Let us have
an honest investigation and see
if the charge is true that the
university regents, or any of
them, are owners now or have
been during their term of office,
of houses of prostitution. If an
investigation developes that the
statement is true. it is altogether
probable that the other statement
is true that Prof. Colodny was
dismissed on the account of the
activity of his wife in her fight
to clean up the rotten section of
the university town. In that
event instead of dismissing Prof.
Colodny, the governor should
step in and bodily fire the regents
and President Won KleinSmid,
and put men at the head of the
university who are not contajni-
mated with the blood money of
fallen women. The state of Ari-
zona cannot afford to have it go
out to the world that its univer-
|sity is controlled by men who
own and rent property for the
purposes of prostitution at the
seat*of the university, and if the
facts were known to President
Won KleinSmid, and he stands
idly by without protest when a
competent Instructor is dismissed
for no other cause than the activ-
witty of his wife in cleaning up
the red light" district, thereby
depriving the regents of the fl
thy revenues, he is equally gull
ty. Why not have the legislature
appoint committee to investi-
gate the facts, and give them to
the DeOple.

We suggested last week that
if the anti-gambling bill intro
duced by Senator Roberts ever
became a law it would indicate
that the old national game of
draw poker had lost its SAVIOR
with the legislators. From the
efforts being made to defeat or
kill the bill with amendments it
is clear that poker playing is still
a popular indoor sport in Phoe-
nix during a session Of the legis-
lature.

What is the matter with the
Christian religion? What is the
matter with protesting Chris
tians? Is it necessary: does it
strengthen in grace to have some
sensational evangelist, who is in
the game only for the money, to
hold a series of meetings that
draw a Gro wd of idlers who are
more interested in the antics of
the speaker and his coarse cpl
grams than the salvation of their
souls? One of this stripe is now
holding meetings at Phoenix, and
like all others is aping Sam Jones
and Billy Sunday. The princi-
pal stock in trade of these four
husher evangelists is to rail at
the theatre, dancing and card
playing as works of the devil,
and consign to everlasting dam
nation all who participate in
these harmless amusements. His
ribald thrusts and billlngsgate
raises a laugh and applause the
same as a clown in the circus
with his coarse Jokes. To add
further to their sensationalism,
and give them a wider field for
their impudicity these individu-
ais always hold a special service
for ladies and a special service
for men. What teaching Of the.
Word of God is so sacred and
delicate that it must be handled
in exclusive meetings by timer
ant montebanks? The local min
listers never find such a service
necessary. If these self-righte-
Gus hypocrites are to be believed
all the pleasures and amusements
of this life are traps of the devil,
and God was so short-sighted
when he created man that no
provision was made for his So
cial life further than attending
church and prayer meeting, or
go out and hear some ranting
evangelist spew the filth of his
narrow mind in the mistaken be-
lief that he is preaching the gos-
pei. This class of demagogues
do more to cheaper and bring
the teachings of Christ into con-
tempt and ridicule than all the
theatres, dances and card play
ing, The temporary excitement
they create is dissipated with
their going, and the sincere faith
full work of the resident minis
ters to build up and hold their
congregations is made harder
than ever. The people go to hear
one of these evangelists out of
idle curiosity, to be entertained
with his gyrations and brutal
witticisms, and when they find
the local minister does not per
form the same way, but breaches
the gospel in an earnest sincere
style they soon tire of him and
remain away from church await
ing the return of some other
evangelist who can entertain and
amuse them. The sensational
evangelist bears the same re!a-.
ton to the Christian religion
that a three card monte man
bears to legitimate business.

President of Argentine Receives
Jewish Delegation.

A delegation of prominent Jews of
Argentine, including DR.. Hafan, Dr.
Aronwitch, DR.. Zabotinsky, Starkner
and Gerstein, called upon the presi-
dent of Argentine and handed him
memorandum regarding the conditions
of the Jews in Turkey and especially
in Palestine. 1t is pointed out in the
memorandum that DR.. Yahuda and
DR.. Nordau, of Madrid, called upon
the representative of the Argentine
Republic in Spain with the request
that he support the efforts of the
Spanish government in behalf of the
Jews in Palestine. The president was
very cordial and spent more than half
an hour with the delegation and prom
ised to do all in his power for the Jews
in Turkey.

soldier ever hated his own country
more-and no patriot in all the
blazing years of history ever loved
her as Peisich does now.
From a word that connected all
the terrors and prosecutions of Ro-
manoff cruelties, to term that has
illumined his soul and fired his
brain to so ardent an affection for
it that he has dedicated his life for
it's preservation that is the Russia
of Peisich Zelkin- the Russia that
has inspired him and thousands of
other Zelkins to hasten back to the
firing lines-to get into the fray with
all it's torturous travail and bloody
dangers so that his newly liberated
country and the democracies of sis
ter nations shall be safe for all time
"How fortunate it is to die for
your country, where everybody is
free and equalp murmured Peisich,
when he started away from his lit
tie home in Lublin, where he had
been convalescing from bullet
wounds received in the trenches. 1t
was privilege to him to be able
to lay down his life for a nation
whose sole inspiration came from the
hope that a new futurity of hap
piness would be shaped from an old
past of misery.
The story of Peisich Zelkin is the
story of awakened Russia. Nothing
could better describe it than the fol-
lowing letter, just received in Bos-
ton and translated from Russian es-
pecially for the Jewish Advocate.
"It would be futile to attempt to
tell you all that I have been COM
PEELED to contend with during the
past two and half years" writes
Zelkin, "and l know that it will not
give you much pleasure to hear of
all the tortures and barbarisms that
