AN ANIMAL WITH A PARACHUTE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 Flying lemurs are found in the Malay Peninsula the Philippine Islands, and in the forests of Sumatra and Rorneo. Their average size is about that of an ordinary small cat and their most striking external anatomical feature is the skin parachute that stretches not only between the limbs, but is contin- ted in front to include the head, while rCsteriorly it takes in the entire tail.
 These animals live among the trees, flying from one to the other, as occa- sion demands. by the aid of the afore- said spreading, dermal parachute. In other words, they perform flying leaps "a very different matter from the varied and sustained flight of the bats.
 Several vernacular names have been bestowed upon these mammals, one of tte most widely used being that of "co- hego," while in the Philippines and elsewhere it is known as the 'cougo;" "kabung'' is one of the old, native names for a flying lemur.
 R. W. Schufeldt in the Scientific American says:
 When Richard C. McGregor sent me specimens of flying lemurs a few years ago, upon which an account of their os- teofogy was based by me. he wrote that this animal seems to be strictly ar DOTcdl, ana lO leeu eACluSlNtlN OH Inc leaves of trees.

When moving in a tree it l is very cautious, and seems to glide | rather than to move like a squirrel or | other small mammal in fact its move ments impressed me as being very l snakelike.

 Filth encourages fly breeding, but they prosper wherever man and ani- mals are, careful as we may be.
 Someone must discover spray that will kill them off. Something we can spray over possible breeding places, against the screens, etc. By so doing that person will not only make his ev- erlasting fortune but ne will gain the gratitude of the world.

MINERS SAID
 TO BE READY
 FUR HARVEST

Immediate relief for the present labor crisis throughout the Salt River valley is seen as possibility in the report reaching Phoenix yesterday that hun dreds of idle men in various nearby mining camps are willing and anxious to take positions in the fields in this community. No time will be lost in communicating with these men with the end in view of immediately trans porting them into the valley.
 According to the report reaching the Arizona Council of Defense yesterday, there are sapproXimately 200 men at Chloride without employment. These men are anxious. it is stated, to get work and have expressed themselves as willing to come to Phoenix. Conditions in other camps it is stated. are almost IS bad and it is believed that by mak- ing a careful canvass of the situation, aproximately 500 men can be imported into the valley for agricultural work.
 It was previously stated that between two and three thousand men would be needed in this community during May to carry forward the agricultural work, but this number has been greatly dis counted during the past two or three days. An additional 300 men could cas-

 To date the situation has been well cared for by J. l.. Donnelly. chairman of the labor committee of the Arizona Council of Defense. In this work, he has solicited the aid of every possible organization and concern in the state.

Russia and Submarines

The two foremost problems of the world the Russians and the submarines More depends upon the answer to the movement in Russia and to the submarine campaign than upon any other ee- ment in the If the the former should be unfavorabe the allies all the sacrifice the western front will have been in vain. It would mean among other things, the overrunning and crushing masses of American troops untrained and unequipped across the ocean in an effort to save France.
 Then there is the submarine problem, which must be solved before take part in either the re- inforcement of the allies in supplying them with the food and the munitions they have if they succeed if Russia does not enter into sep arate peace.
 With both of these unknown quantities promi- nent the result of the is in greater doubt than it has been at any time since it's beginning, nearly three years ago.

Prosecute Election Frauds

To the Editor of the Republican,
 Sir: I have sojourned in this land made famous by Senator Ashurst's de-
 scriptive powers, almost a score of years previous to which, forty years were spent in California. The Central Pacific railroad was built during those in the acquiring of lands, subsidies, and everything wanted, absolutely forced people to threaten representatives with tar and feathers, if their votes were bartered. but this did not deter expen- liture at primaries, or on election days, when money flowed freely. Arizona at this time was called wild and
 woolly," and few ever dreamed that governmental laws were enforced, or life protected. In a measure, Califor- nia has passed through one incubation, and Arizona at least since statehood, was supposed by mOnied investors, and law observers to have reached its sec ond period of civilization. Has it?
 Never, since the statutes, promulgated
 y OFT forofathers, have been our guides, has there been a. contest in
 these United States comparing to this past state dispute. I will waive the matter of cost, enmity. and attempt 70 frustrate the peoples will, to ask these pertinent questions, which in your editorial. 'Is it to be dropped" you fail to refer to. Fraud is always
 committed for purpose Money is
 the usual incentive for fraud Has there been money expended in this election,
 and if so, by whom? This has no ref arence to the ignorance disclosed by
 many election boards, but to the rank, rotter fraud disclosed during this trial Each party has central com
 mittee to expend money, and manage the affairs of candidates on its ticket.
Arizona republican., 1917-05-06

As the fraud at Douglas is proven to have been committed in the interests of democrats, 1 ask, was it done in, or by the warrant, or knowledge of our democratic central committee? There is no personal insult in asking this question, for it is unreasonable to pre- sume that individuals, from spontane- ouS enthusiasm, spend their private funds and lay themselves lloel to our penitentiaries, in the sole interest of party candidates, so who, or where, is the Power behind the throne?" When you say, unless prosecutioI follows, and these miscreants are placed behind the barS,' you express the sentiment of a law loving and law abiding oommuni- ty, and believe me tine support of good citizenship stands at your shoulder don't exaggerate, or overStep any bounds, by saying, there never was a necessity for all this toll, turmoil and mental, as well as financial distress, occasioned by drowning unfortunate, grasping at straws, but the truth is unearthed, and now use your pages and influence to see that it is never re- peated, and more than this, let the punishment, which is meted to all of lenders, be the menace which prevents future repetition.

Murder and Punishment

Two murders in this community of the most fright fully revolting character since the people voted to abolish capital punishment November have raised the question whether a mistake made then. Within the time there has been increase in homicide in other parts of the state Whether or there is any relation between the abolition of the death penalty and these two murders and the in murder generally do know. It is natural though people think that life imprisonment is not an adequate punishment for the who dered Hughes Tempe last December and tainly adequate the crime of that fiend Apache trail Thursday night.
 The Republican, which for long time believed that capital punishment should not be abolished and especially believed that while the law providing for it should be enforced. last fall did not oppose the abolition of the death penalty but suggested it by way of a trial. It de- ferred the argument of those who tended that it's abolition would result in a de- of crime by rendering punishment tain. The Republican entertained, however, of the maudh sentiment those who shouted '1egalized murder!" for there is and such thing Iegalized murder.
 The taking of human life the scaffold else where abhorrent and if it could be avoided with essenng the security which rigidly enforced law of capital punishment throws the lives of citizens, The Republican favored it. At the same time The Republican suggested that if the abolition of capital punishment failed of the result which friends claimed for it, it would be easy the gallows.
 A small majority of the people of Arizona ev- dently took the same ground In spite of vigorous statewide campaign for abolition without word against it by the press any public speaker abo- tion carried in very small by exceedingly slender majority.

Hebrews 6: 1920


 For when God made promise to Ab raham because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself
 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee. and multiplying l will multiply thee.
 And so, after he had patiently en- dured, he obtained the promise.
 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
 Wherein God, willing more abun- dantly to shew unto the heirs of pro- mise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an cath:
 That by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
 Which hope We have as an anchor of the soul. both sure and steadfast, and which enterest into that within the veil:
 Whither the forerunner is for us en- tered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchiseder.
