The Draft at Tucson

Tucson is shortly going to vote a commission form of charter and the time for commission CTS. committee of citizens has made a draft of candidates for the commission. This action was probably taken head off the politicians and to an ticpate the entrance of Tom, Dick and Harry into the ring. Voluntary enstments in government unlike cnlisments in the army usually not the best The best material for municipal officers as we'll as for county and state officers is usually found among those who do not volunteer
 But the Tucson draft a successful one It included such Colonel Epes Randolph Leo Goldschmidt Fred Ronstadt and others some demo- crats republicans but of them politicians They have declared their willingness to sacrifice so much of their time may be necessary for the benefit of Tucson

Germany and Labor

The German way of quelling strikes certainly cannot appeal to organized labor. and think the working of Great Britain well the fewer of this country who obstruct their governments in the conduct of the war, enforce some rule demand of the organization. would be content to bear their share of the inconvenience of the against the Germans.
 In all other countries. if working desire to better their condition they may strike. The strike is recognized by our laws legitimate well essential instrument of organized labor Our laws have gone far to permit boycotting and picket ing. Germany has favored forbidden organ ized labor and the methods it usually employs It merely ignored them, knowing what it could and would do if occasion required The occasion came and the thing done. With a lightning stroke simple decree, there has to an end strike which the more foolish of the outside fancied. might disrupt the empire
 There no concessions no talk of arbtra- ton nothing but alternative: Get back to work, the firing squad" and the great strike ends
 In such government that and such Ger many would impose upon the world do laboring men think they would have much of chance to better their condition?

TO BURN BONDS
 AND LISTEN T0
 FINE PROGRAM

Free from debt. the Woman's club will burn its building bonds this after noon. The ceremony will take place at the conclusion of the open meeting and will be marked by an impressive talk reviewing the efforts of the club women in securing their home. On June l, 1910, the Woman's club issued bonds for 5000 for the purpose of completing it's building fund. These bonds were to run for r years, were non- interest bearing and were bought l by the club members and Well-Wishers outside the club
 Many of these bonds have been do- mated to the club, some have been re- tired by being paid from the treasury, and at the beginning of the fall season there were 47 bonds still outstanding One bondholder who owned 34 of these. very generously offered to donate them on condition that a good majority of the remaining bondholders would do the same.
 That this has been accomplished will be demonstrated at the meeting today
 when the entire issue. of bonds will be ! burned, thus freeing the club from all 1 debt, except that connected with the l street paving. 1 The bond burning will be but one

A NOTE ON ETCHING

We often told that etching is emi- nation rather than of addition of summary indication of lines, not of masses True; yet famous etchers have also submerged the individual line in produc- tion of tones Take Claude Lorrain whose tCowherd' is a wonderful rendering of the atmospheric effect of late afternoon; A. Wtero; or Ruysdael: or Rembrandt who in his famous full-ength of Jan Six and in that sympathetic bit of lf-analysis Rem brandt Drawing a Windw, ahs his lines advance in massed formation to produce completeness of effect But their grouped lines have a free inter- locking flow different from the measured regular of the engraved line copper and steel. It is just this which makes etching preeminently process for the artist producing original work In engraving, the burin, held with it's handle in the palm of the hand is pushed along through the surface of the copper plate. The result is inevitably formal In etching the needle plays lightly through the etching ground on the copper in the manner of a pencil with free, spontaneous result.
 The etcher speaks his mind freely and directly provided the mind is there. Ability to put a drawing the coated plate and bite it in the acid bath is not enough Technc is only a to an end. Technical dexterity alone will answer Ruskin's condition, The highest aim of all imaginative art is to give noble grounds for noble emotions But all who etch are chosen to stand among those who justify the preemnence of etching painter art for original direct expression.

Il being devoid Of all impulse, save the

deck, already darkened by the gath

calmed me, and brought back my pow

the face of an intelligent search. OF
