The libel suit of Mr.. Earl of the
Los Angeles Tribune against the
editor of the Los Angeles Record,
which has been occupying the
attention of the court in that city
for several weeks, will not be
without great benefit to society
if the people will only study the
testimony introduced at the trial.
1t is not so important that the
political power of Earl be de-
stroyed, as others will rise up to
take his place so long as existing
conditions prevail in the political
life of Los Angeles, or any other
city or state; but it is important
that people look squarely in the
face the problem Of choosing
wisely their public servants, men
whom they know have moral in
tegrity and courageous honesty
to discharge their official duties
without fear or favor. Political
bossism thrives only when dis
honest men, or jelly-fsh pigmies
are elected to office, as the boss"
soon has them in his web, and
with threats of exposing them to
the public makes them do his
bidding in all things important,
allowing him a little independ-
ence in small matters to give him
the semblance of responsibility
and individuality. The political
boss, or the big interests behind
the boss, always prefer the weak
ling or crook as their candidate
because they know they can
handle him when in office, and
the people like lot of stampeded
cattle follow the lead of the boss,
because they are more interested
in a victory for their political
party than in the establishment
or maintenance Of good govern
ment. 1t was disgusting to read
the testimony of the ofice-holders
and ex- officers in that Los Angeles
trial, showing clearly their menial
subsurviency to Earlism, when
they were elected by the people
to serve the best interests of the
city. What is true in Los Angeles
is true in every city and every
state where the party boss rules.

The jury in the celebrated De-
Saulles case acquitted Mrs. De-
Saulles for killing her husband.
Such a verdict was anticipated,
and meets with general popular
approval. Any man who would
squander his wife's inheritance
on women of the street deserves
a resting place in the family bur
ial ground, and the same might
be said of the men, who night
after night, leave the wife at
home alone while they are out
chasing around with some dis
reputable female in whose com
pany they ought to be ashamed
to be seen in public. When a
married man prefers the COM
pany of harlots to the society Of
his wife and the mother of his
children he is a fit subject for
the services of an undertaken,
and he will never be missed in
any decent community.

A minister back east, who is
enthusiastic in prosecuting the
war to a successful finish, has
suggested to the ladies of his
congregation hat they bring
tn cir Red Cross knitting to
church, and knit during the SER
vices. There certainly could not
be any serious objection to the
plan, as knitting would not de-
tract the attention of the worker
from the sermon.

Economy Brings Revival of Lace

Henri Bendel, the Fifth Ave
nue. couturier, writing in the De-
cember issue of Harper's Bazar,
makes the following forecast:
This is the season when the
mode acknowledges the suprem-
acy of old lace. Of course, real
lace is always more or less fash
lionable,' though for the last few
years it has not been used so
extensively. But now as a war
time economy women have gone
to their treasure chests a n d
brought out their old laces from
their Wrappings of blue tissue
paper. In fact, these exquisite
laces are being used so recklessly
that, by the time Palm Beach
days are here, we will find whole
frocks made of real lace. And
such a frock will be absolutely
priceless-for it is doubtful if
these wonderful laces of the past
can ever be produced again, as
the devastation of Belgium has
all but destroyed the art. "
Wallace Reid, the ever popular
Paramount Star who will be seen
at the Opera House Sunday at
both an afternoon and evening
performance in "The Hostage" "
has accomplished almost every
thing possible in the line of
stunts" fight. etc., except be-
ing tortured by fire; and this is
what is done to him in The
Hostage" These scenes were
taken the next day after Mr..
Reid had been severely sun
burned and according to his own
statement no great call upon his
artistic ability to depict pain was
necessary, for every moment
was the realest sort of torture.

The federal fuel administrator
has set a new price for coal from
the Gallup coal fields which sup
ply northern Arizona. The first
price set evidently did not suit
the operators, so a new price of
$4.95 a ton for commercial coal
has been set, which is five cents
less than the agreed price of the
coal trust. 1t is great boom to
the public to have the price set
by the fuel administrator to pro-
tect them from being robbed by
war profiteers.

1t is the boss who holds the purse
strings for the political campaigns
in all parties, and a candidate
who will not place himself in
the power of the invisible gov
ernment has a scant show of
victory before the people. Bosses
can't use men, they want weak
lings and crooks.

We have got to rearrange our
system to conform to the new
wheatless and meatless days. In
Arizona Tuesday was the wheat
less day, and Friday the meatless
day, but Washington authorities,
however, have intimated that
this local system fails to agree
with that nationally established.
Consequently, hereafter, includ-
ing this week. the wheatless day
will be Tuesday, and the meat
less day will be Wednesday, thus
running together the weeks food
conservation days. Chairman M.
[. Grier of the hotel and restau-
rant committee has sent this
notification to all hotels and res
taurants in the state, and hopes
there will be the fullest observ-
ance of this national regulation.

Parody On Justice.

At the term of the superior
court closed this week the trial
of the defendant charged with
the murder of Harvey Powell has
again been postponed. The con-
tinual postponing of this trial is
a rank parody on justice, and
cheapens the respect of the people
for the courts. 1t is not a ques-
tion of the guilt or innocence of
the accused, but in all fairness
the issue should be brought to
trial and the case disposed of
within reasonable time. 1t is
now more than a year ago since
Powell was murdered, but at
every term of court the case has
been postponed on trivial eX-
cuses. The attorneys for the
defendant are not to be blamed
for the delay, as they are being
paid to use every legal means in
their power to defend their client,
and if they can continue to have
the trial put off until all the
witnesses are dead or beyond
the reach of the court that is
their right and duty. But the
court should bear in mind that
the people of the county, and
particularly the relatives of the
dead man, have some rights that
the court should respect. Mr..
John Powell, the father of the
dead man, is one of the Oldest
residents in Navajo county. is a
taxpayer supporting the court
where he has a right to expect
that exact justice will be dis
pensed without fear or favor, or
without unseemly delay on tech
nicalities.
The case was postponed this
week because a material witness
is missing. The material witness
for the defendant was being held
in Jail by County Attorney Lar
son under a heavy bond as a
witness for the prosecution, and
she was released on habeas cor
pus proceedings conducted by the
attorneys for the defendant, and
released on nominal bond, and
almost Immediately disappeared,
and it is doubtful if she can ever
be produced in court. She was a
witness for the state, and to have
the case postponed again on a
motion that she was a material
witness for the defense is ridicu-
lous. 1t looks very much as
though the court was more in
terested in harassing the county
attorney than in forcing the de-
fendant to trial.
