 As nearly possible political pull will be rendered useless. Attempts to escape registration evade service likely to bring swift punishment.
 The purpose of the registration is to ascertain just how many persons available for service Those who entitled exemption in danger of being drafted at this time although it may be essary prove the right exemption
 While it is proposed raise army under the first draft of only 500O00 the registration will show, it is estimated the of nearly twenty times that number
 It is estimated that Arizona will be called upon contribute about 1400 to the first seectve army, and these will be chosen from registration of some thing more than 10000.

The Walter Hill Case

The decision of the supreme in the case of Walter Hill does not, of course carry with it any censure of Mir Hill a willful vioator of the pro- hibiton law, MT Hill has for years been an ardent prohibition worker and active in church circles No who knows him believes willfully per mitted the sale of any liquor known suspected by him of being intoxicating But that is a matter which not and could not have been before the court
 Though usually knowledge and intent sary ingredients in the establishment of crime it is not under the prohibition law The fact of the sale only to be established and that done. In this respect the law, so far as concerns intent is like the federal law prohibiting the sale of liquor to Indians The seller may suspect the intending purchaser to be Indian. The color of the latter the personal character istics may be such entirely preclude any sus- pcion that he has the slightest of Indian blood Yet if it is proved that he is Indian the seller is without defense if the sale has been proved.

Blondes and Erunettes

Max Unterford, machinist of New York has raised new question in domestic relations He red brunette and far as the discloses he was satisfied with her until he returned home and found she had undergone what she doubtless garded as self improvement. Her hair had been bleached. Mir Unterford then withdrew and when the case came into court he said that he did like blondes; if he had wanted blonde he would have married He would his single days have one forced upon him and he would submit to the continued possession one offered a con- cession of S3 week.
 Here is field of conflict for two different schools of thought, those who entertain, with Mir. Unter- ford, the notion that the wife is chattel who be kept must keep herself up the standard which tempted the husband take her. The other school will hold that the wife did surrender her control over her person, and that she taken flor better worse" It will be argued that MT. Unterford could as reasonably have con- tended if his wife had lost neither limb in rail- way accident. that he did a one-legged woman and if he had wanted he would have married one.

ELKS PLANNING PATRIOT GRAND
 LODGE SESSION

The Order of Elks, distinctively from it's grand exalted ruler to send as many members as possible to the an- nual grand lodge, this year at Boston, to decide what course the order shall take in furtherance of it's patriotic duty to the country. The appeal of the grand exalted ruler was received and read to Phoenix lodge at it's last meeting and is herewith printed because of the interest which all Elks will take in this procla- nation. The appeal is as follows:
 Since the United States has declared that a state of war exists with Germa- ny, so many members of our order have written this office and inquired what would be the effect thereof upon the coming grand lodge session in July, that it is the duty of the grand exalted ruler to communicate to the order in general what, after consultation and deliberation, has been concluded.
 Tt has now been the unbroken pre- cedent of half a century for the order to annually assemble and nothing has done more than this to cement us to- gether and to strengthen the distinct iVely national character of the order Local or statewide Elk reunions, bene- ficial though they are in some features, take from rather than add to this re suit
 If the Boston meeting was detri- ment at this time to the nation at large, whatever good it might do to the Order of Elks, it should not be held. Our country comes before our order.
 Tt is perfectly clear that, whilst this nation is the richest and most powerful in the world, and that the patriotism Of it's people is great, this patriotism is not now thoroughly aroused and those riches and power are not fully prepared to certainly prevail in a struggle with other strong nations. Hence, it is that our country's leaders are devoting theii energies to arousing dormant patriot ism into action and making it's re- sources fitted for the tasks that lie be- l fore US.
 The Order of Elks is not only 2 | great American order, but il IS a grea practical order, and we should respond | to the line of action suggested by tho | leaders of the nation. The task, how
 ever, is one of many months and no
 of a few days. But two months vii
 pass before the Boston meeting, and b! 1 it much good can be done in this di ] rection.
 our duty then is clear-We shOult
 more than ever meet this year, becaus
 we have a higher task to do. The so
 cial and fraternal features should b
 lessened and the practical and aptrioti features brought to the front.
 Not as a summer pleasure, but as
 real duty all good Elks should as
