Christmas Cheer for Soldiers.

The soldiers stationed at Mo-
 gales are a. splendid body of
 men. They compose the 35th h.
 fantry, a portion of the famous
 10th Cavalry, a quartermaster's
 corps and a medical corps. A
 large majority of them are from
 splendid American homes and it
 is therefore not surprising that
 the morale of the entire camp is
 above the average for large
 bodies of men. This has been
 remarked scores of times by our
 citizens and for some time it has
 been question among the best
 families here to indicate to them
 they are regarded as splendid specimens of young American
 manhood, such. as Nogales has sent into the ranks in the dis
 taut training camps. The pro-
 blem, however, was solved by two young ladies of the city,
 Miss Maud McPherson and Miss Lena Keyte, teachers in the high school. They proposed that during the Christmas holi- days the doo1s of the homes of the city be thrown open to the soldier boys and cordial vel come extended to all regardless of rank. The idea met with popular favor and the ladies all got busy. Each named the num- ber they would entertain and the scheme was worked out with the regularity of clock work. It was not so much a matter of eats" as tbe boys had the best the country affords for their holiday dinners, including all the palatab scallops and em- broidery, but cordial greetings and diversified amusements. These were provided in the way of vocal and instrumental music, games and great big, welcome that came from the heart and had no veneer. Or course there were fruits and salads and delicious refresh ments but the outstanding feat ure was good cheer and God bless you! And in many homes the proud assurance, my boy s somewhere, wearing khaki alson'
 The entertainments began as early as Friday of last week and continued through most of this week, but the greater number occurred Christmas day and dur ng the evening. So far as has been ascertained the soldiers enjoyed each and every effort to them.
 So generally was the response % the suggestion of the promot- ITS of the plan that it may be he VIDETTE has not secured he names of all who entertain I'd, but we have done our best in he premises. These are the names me have secured:

AT THE SEA SHORE.

Mr. E. D. Miller. editor and proprietor of this indispensable palladium of unadulterated Lib erty and Democracy, is still on the coast gazing out over the deep and listening to the sad sea waves. He is doubtless hav- ing a delightful outing, all of which he deserves, after years of close attentio to business without vacation. He will re- turn home some time next week.

Col. Frier and Mrs. Frier re-
 turned Thursday from an extend
 ed trip east. They were met at
 the train by the 35th Infantry
 band and drum corps, a num-
 Der of Nogales citizens and many of the officers of the regiment.
 At an improrhptu meeting of police officials held Christmas day at the police station and presided over by Desk Sergeant Chalfant, it was decided, among other important matters of civic import, that grape juice is deucedly unsatisfactory basic principal of egg nogg.
 MT. and Mrs M. G. Rouse of Sonoita, last Monday celebrated their golden wedding. The affair took place at the farm home of MT. and Mrs. Charles Brossart near Sonoita and was attended by a large concourse of people from the entire country side and from Nogales. The aged couple were the recipients of many handsome presents and cordial expressions of continued good health and prosperity.
 Virgil A. Long and Miss Mir anda White of Sonoita, were married last Saturday at the home of the Groom's parents, MT. and Mrs. Short Long in this city. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. F. J. Stoetzel, pastor of the Congregational church. The groom was prac- tically raised in Nogales, his father having been for years a conductor on the Nogales- Ben son branch of the Southern Pa cific.
 There is no doubting the loyal ty of Miss Katie Farrell, daught- CT of MT. and Mrs Richard Farrell of Harshaw. The money provided Miss Katie for the ex- penses of her trip home from the Tempe Normal School where she is student, to spend the holidays with the family, and her many Santa Cruz county friends, she turned over to the Red 1 Cross. It requires a stout heart to give up such pleaSurable | and Katie has shown that her heart is all right. | And how the brave boys in the | trenches would cheer if they | could get sight of her.
 Word has been sent to govern nent officials here by the state that certificates of | for passports will no onger be recognized as Substi- ,utes for regular passports. Those going back and forth across the line will be given Identification cards by the i'm officials, but those go- ng into the interior of Mexico can be given passports by the collector of customs on special instructions from the state department. To simmer he whole matter down, one can Lvoid a whole lot of trouble by lot trying to go into Mexico.

There was a warmly contested foot ball game on the parade ground of the 35th Infantry Christmas day between the E company team and picked team from other companies of the re- giment. The former won by score of 12 to O. So vigorous was the contest that two of the players went to the hospital for repairs.

A FORTUNATE RULING.

Newspaper editors and pub
fishers will breathe freer when
they read of the recent decision
Of a Virginia court. They have
escaped a peril the existence OF
which they were hardly aware
until the bringing of the suit
upon which the decision was
made. The plaintiff in the case
was a candidate for office. A
public meeting was held in his
town and he was among those
present" and "made a few re
marks" In the newspaper ac-
count of the meeting no reference
was made of him. His name was
unkindly omitted.
Promptly he brought suit
against the newspaper, claiming
that he suffered serious damage
by reason Of the commission. The
lack of the publicity to which he
claimed that he was entitled adj
versely affected his chances to
secure the nomination for office to
which he was aspiring. The case
looked plausible. There was
possibility more or less remote,
that he did suffer from the alb
sence of publicity. Nevertheless,
and fortunately for the newspaper
world, the court held that he had
mo cause in law and dismissed his
suit.
Newspapers have suffered
enough in the past on account Of
printing the names of men IN
news articles, comments the Post
Intelligencer. All the libel suits
are based upon acts of commits
sion like that. It is a rec ognized
princinle that newspapers are re
snonsible for damages arising
from their having printed men S
names in connection with incl
dents Of an unpleasant nature.
But if they were also to be held
to responsibility for failure to
print names. there would be an
avalanche Of such suits under
which only the strongest would
have any possibility Of surviving.
Had the determination of the
court been the other way, what a
cinch it would have been for the
press agents. 1t is a sufficiently
strenuous occupation standing
them off as it is.-Lafayette

Cheap carnivals Hit by Council.

| The state council Of defense mas
! gone after the cheap carnival.
The following statement by Secre-
tary A. II. Melville has just been sent
to all county councils and the cam
paign is on against immoral shows:
''There is always some criticism Of
travelling shows of doubtful charac-
ter, but this year it is especially Wig
Orous. In view of the state and ma
tiOnal campaigns for economy, 1t IS
absurd to encourage these Wasteful or"
CARNATIONS merely for the sake OF the
amusement which they furnish.
| "Healthful amusement and whole
some entertainment, if economically
/ handled, should be encouraged. Car
nivals carefully planned by local COM
mittees are usually of this type. These
the state council of defense has no
| disposition to criticize, but it wishes
emphatically TO place its stamp OF dis
approval upon the floating carnival OF
low character which visits towns only
to bleed them as much as possible.
'"The average travelling street carnl-
val makes no educational and little
| financial contribution to the commun-
ity The character of amusement and
entertainment is not always whole
some. The moral tone is usually not
high.
1.-The state council of defense,
therefore, urges that the county coun'
ellis take every legitimate step to dis
| courage people from patronizing street
carnivals and similar organizations of
doubtful character
