Then and Now

remarkable speech by Lloyd George in 1908

which at one time had available words for his fit
denunciaton is now his strongest uphoder and so it
goes when opens In this speech he said
1T really seems incredible. when you begin to

Today England owes it to Lloyd George that she

to kill another She is grateful and she is proud of

was natural that the former should want a larger

almost impossible to get in, let alone
get out In addition to this, up on the
third floor, there is another room
equally as much if not more Uttered up
The latest addition to the state
library and one which Will probably
mean a great deal to the people of the
state is number of first editions from
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace. The Carnegie Endow-
ment is engaged in publishing books
containing information on everything
relating to the welfare of man. Prac
tically all Of the volumes received thus
far have to do with the war in
Europe, copies of diplomatic GORE
spondence just prior to the great war,
and other papers relating to that con-
flict being included in the books. From
time to time, as more volumes are
published, the Arizona library will be
furnished them free of charge.
1t was through the efforts of Librar-
ian Cronin the state was put on the list
of libraries in the country receiving
these volumes. He was at first dis
couraged over ever obtaining the con-
cession, but after considerable CORE
spondence he was delighted to receive
a letter stating that henceforth- the
state of Arizona would be remembered.

The Hob scnooi Cadet Bill

In the discussions when have taken place in the
senate the committee of the whole of that body
the high cadet bill, the object of the measure
has not been touched upon directly. 1t has not been
so clearly defined that outsider casual listener
the first time, would grasp it We have sometimes
thought that some of the senators confused
to that essential point Was the original bill designed
exclusive benefit of the of the cadets?
Clearly the substitute bill embodying the Wyoming
intended benefit only those who care to avail
themselves of the training exercise which is be
provided The benefit the state will be entirely
incidental or not at ALL That will be optional with
the cadets after their period of training is They
can exercise the discretion with regard pass
ing benefit the that they may exercise
with respect to undertaking training.
A understand the bill the purpose of it is to
make the state the chief beneficiary through the
training of the pupils in the military That alone
would warrant the enactment of the bill into law
which involves the expenditure of more money
Institutions which had already been treated with
great Hberality The state would hardly undertake
the expenditure of more money for the benefit
youth who constitute but small percentage of the
boys and girls of school age. If the might
still further and appropriate money this, and
every conceivable object which might conduce the

engage in athletics buy croquet sets and tiddle-de-

to engage in a less violent form physical exercise
and appropriate money for whatever the pupils
high school think would be morally and physically
beneficial to them.
We think the object of this legislation the

five years ago or one year ago. 1t is inspired by

CITY WATER To
BEC0NTR0L[ED

The corporation commission will
take Jurisdiction in the complaint
made by D. B. Harrer of Grand ave
nue. against the water service being
given him at his home outside the
city limits by the city water works.
The city has maintained that the
commission has no jurisdiction in the
case, Harrer claiming 1t has. as when
municipally owned plant extended
its service out of the city, it comes
under the heading of public utilities,
and under the control of the corpora
ton commission.
The city filed a motion with the
commission yesterday, asking tie dis
missal of the ease on the grounds
that the commission has no jurisdic-
ton: but Harrer's stand was upheld.
and in due time the case will come
up for trial before that body.

For many weary months now the
world has been asking itself the quesr
ton, what is Edison doing?" and as
yet there has been no definite answer.
We are assured in vague terms that
he is perfecting some device or de-
vices that will have powerful infiu-
ence in terminating the conflict. but
the months drag on and we are a.
much in the dark as ever. We are
mysteriously informed that he has
discovered or isolated or located or
invented some kind of ray" that win
burn up battleship or a town at .
distance of many miles, but that ray"
has not yet illuminated our darkness.
1t may be that one or more of his
discoveries are already In use. II so.
why not let the public know? Surely
the bare knowledge that our faith I'm
him is not misplaced, could work ne
harm. Seriously, the American peo-
pie need all the encouragement they
can get in the days that are before
them, and if Mr.. Edison's genius is
still working full time it would help
us to know it.

mon
The writer made business trip to
the Fellowship section last Monday
and found some of the farmers grind
ing cane, others getting ready to
grind, and one, Mr.. S. A. Neil, had
commenced to sow oats, but had to
suspend because the land was too dry
to pillow. We had the pleasure of a
two hours visit and the noon meal
in the h0spitable home of Mr. Henry
Clark of that section. We were sorry
to find the better half of this house
hold sick. In this home we met our
old friend, Mr.. H. M. Barnett, who
makes his home with his son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarkt Mr..
Barnett is a Union veteran and in
talking with him about the present
war we were convinced that if he had
physical strength he would be in the
trenches. in France.
Mr.. Clark owns and with his family
occupies what is perhaps, and we be-
lieve, the oldest dwelling in Marion
county. This house was built sixty
years ago (when the writer was only
a small boy by the late Albert Clark,
grandfather of the present owner. At
that time Mr.. Clark was a STAKEHOLDER
and a prosperous farmer, and cOnsid-
cred comparatively wealthy man.
The lumber, or the most of it that
went into the building of this dwell
ing was sawed on Blue Springs run,
near where the. town of Dunnellonl
now stands The house was built on
brick pillars about five feet high, and
although it has the third roof the
main body is apparently as good as
the day it was finished Mr.. Clark
bought the white lead and oil, mixed
it himself and had the house painted
when completed and the paint shows
almost as well as on houses that have
not been painted half so long. Mr..
Clark was one of the most paistaking
men we ever saw, and his watchful
eye was on this building in the cree
ton, and he saw that no shoddy ma
terial was used. AS an evidence of
his care and oversight in having work
done, l will mention that, fifty years
ago he took the contract to put al
picket fence around st. Johns Gene
terry, and SO thorough was his work
that some of the posts and pickets are
still in existence. More on this SUBJ
ject next week
