FOUR GIRLS
 AND ONE BOY

Stopping idly the other day by the Warren park to watch the children at play, the newspaper man was struck with the chapter on human nature written unconsciously by one group of kiddies in their game Four girls and enc boy comprised the players on this stage. and they may have been eight or nine years of age, maybe ten. They were playing tag, and each girl had tree for a base while the boy stood alone m the centre, and it could read fly be seen from his half hearted ef- forts that he was rather ashamed at playing with so many mere girls. and yet he kinda wanted to play. Just like a boy.
 And these girls. They led that lad dogs life. They jeered and boOed him and waved at him and dared him and darted right up to him in tantaliz- ing fashion and then flew away again like a bird on the wing. Just like girls.
 Finally the boy, gOaded to action, made a slow and shambling effort to tag one Qf his tormentors, but she darted back to her base and the other three girls all ran up behind him and pushed him until he fell forward on the grass. The boy was about half sore at this one sided game and the overwhelming feminine odds against him. But the girls were glad and gay. They shrieked with laughter and re- doubled their banter and teasing One little girl had her black hair in two lcng braids with a red ribbon at each end. Another girl had yellow hair and it hung in a tangle about her freckied face and blue eyes. A third girl wore a cap and sne was as active as a tiger cub. and about as remOrseless in her persecution of that small. lone boy. The fourth girl, the largest one. was 'the more sedate and quiet of the quar- tette, but she did not deny herself the pleasure of making that boy feel how awkward and slow and outmatched he was in that game of tag.
 Finally the boy got up, took one lcok around to see that no other boy was watching him. and then he went into that tag game for blood. In about a minute he had won a base" from a breathless girl. The teasing ceased as if by magic. The four. girls group ed together, arm in arm, ignored the n0N ana MdlNtu StudttlN away NAllA their heads clcse together. The boy looked after them in baffled wonder, then he, too. walked away, showing disgust in his face and indifference in his walk and manner for all girls un- der the sun.
 The newspaper man smiled thought fully. Here was the eternal feminine, the same at nine as at nineteen. But the boy will change He will play tag eagerly with the girls when he Is nineteen. He will not be shamefaced or half hearted about it then. He will not care if some other boy. is looking, just so he Is looking from a distance. BUT. at nineteen, twenty-nine. ninety. he will be just as puzzled and worried over the acts, moods and fancies of women as he was that day at the ten der age of nine when the girls flOuted him and then left him. And he will know just as little about them, but he will care more; yes, much more. and his indifference and disgust will van ish away. and in their place will come much joy and many sorrows

Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and Elm peror Charles of Austria, at their recent conference in Berlin, selected kings for the newly conquered Russian provinces of Lithunia, Courland, Poland and Esthonia. Four kings! Pretty hard to beat. But they have been beaten; four aces will make them look sick. Maybe it will be given to four American aces to turn the trick. Let us devoutly- hope that this honor will be ours.

A vote tomorrow for the non partisan candidates is a vote for the winning of the war and for better Bisbee. Loyal men and progressive citizens comprise the can didates on this ticket and no man or woman who has the best interests of home, city and country at heart can afford to either stay at home Monday or vote for any but the non partisan candidates Placing patri- otism above politics is the order of the day in America The election of the right kind of men for city, state and legislative office now is as important as buying Liberty Bonds and giving to the Red Cross.

Famine stalks abroad in Petrograd It is declared upon reliable authority that hams sell for three hundred dollars apiece in the Russian capital and eggs for seventy-five cents each. That Bolshevik dream of equality was spawned nightmare, after all And the Germans seized all the stock and grain in the Ukraine. Yet these Rus sian agitators that put the Kerensky gov ernment out of business by means of the soldiers and workmens s council, promised Utopia right away. Hard work, skill, or ganization, duty, sacrifice, economy, Cour- age, common sense, these and these only will come near to bringing security, hapPi- ness and prosperity to any nation. Russia has paid the dearest price known to all the ages for listening to the wild dreams and false promises of the Bolshevik plotters.

The intense patriotism of the miners in the Warren copper district during the Red Cross drive has been most marked. They have not only given literally to the cause, but they have helped it in spirit and in act.
 h fact, they have taken an intense pride in the districts fine showing in this drive, and they have vied with each other by shift and by shaft and by company in mak- ing the best showing in this great war work. In proportion to their salaries and their sav- ings the Bisbee miners have probably given as freely to the Red Cross as any class of citizens in any community in this nation.

The Imperial valley looked gcod to him but he did not like the drinking water, it all coming from the Colorado river and so thick it is almost like soup. A barrel full of water settling about eight inches of sediment.

A Bisbee subscriber writes as follows Having seen your editorial in the morn ing paper concerning the Irish question, am glad to say that you are man enough to put 1t in a manly way. can also credit you with having some knowledge and idea of Irish affairs, which Is more than many editors who write of them have" Thanks. This from such strong and loyal lrishman as the author of this letter, is praise indeed. The writer then goes on to narrate some thing of Ireland wrongs and Ireland feel ings in the matter of the war. He points out England many harsh measures against Ireland in the old times and her many mis- takes in the war True Sadly true. But England is fighting today as bravely and as well as any nation ever fought for the final and overwhelming defeat of Ger many, and lreland has only one course to pursue right now, and that is to stand shoulder to shoulder with all true friends of liberty and beat the Prussian. Not until this is accomplished has any individual or nation wrongs or interests important enough to intervene between the thrust of allied bayonets and the foe. Ire land has her Sim Fein and America has her wobblies and her pacifists and German sympathizers, too. But they are fast going to trial and to jail in both countries, praise be to the saints who watch over all true men.

WHERE DO YOU STAND, GOV. HUNT?
CFrom the Phoenix Gazettel

tFrom the Phoenix Gazettel
 So much has been said about Gov Hunt being more or less in sympathy with the l. W. w. that the Gazette, in justice to him, gladly allows him space in these col umns to answer the following questions:
 Gov. Hunt, are you now or have you in the past been in sympathy with the l. w. w?
 Are you in favor of vigorous prosecution and punishment of l. w. w. charged with and found guilty of crime?
 Do you advocate the punishment of l. w. W. who have written sedtious letters?
 Do you advocate the vigorous Prosecu- ton and punishment of the l. w. w. now on trial before Federal Judge Landis at Chicago?
 Was 1t with your consent that your ap- pointee, w. B. Cleary, went to Chicago to defend the accused l. w. w. on trial before Federal Judge Landis?
 Do you favor the anti-I w. w. resolu- ton as introduced by Mrs. Pauline O'Neili May 22, 1918?
 Your prompt and positive reply Is await ed. The people of Arizona have right to know just where you stand.
 A travelling salesman in Bisbee the other day, fresh from trip throughout the north west, made most startling statements in most convincing manner He declared that there are more wobblies in the north west than in Arizona, and they were trying to hamper and harass the lumber and paper industry of that section, just as their red card brothers are trying to cripple the cop per industry here. He told of paper mill workers who received two dollars and half day before the war who receive seven dol lars now and who will only work week month. The labor problem, more than any other, he said, harassed and threatened the print paper industry of the northwest There is doubtful future for every indus try in the nation except those engaged in actual war work or work calculated to help win the war. One large and old paper in- dustry, in closing its plant recently, had de- clared that after going through unheard-of trouble and expense in getting their stock made, they had to wait thirty and fifty days to get cars to send it to the trade They had ''profitoered, they said, until they had dug down to the bottom of their pockets, and now they were glad and willing to turn over all their men and material and cars to Uncle Sam for the period of the war. An idea Of the condition of the print paper in- dustry at present can be gained from the fact that an Arizona publisher last week tried in vain to buy 100 tons of print paper extra and besides his regular contract for daily supply.

midi soldier tells of some exper-
fences. He says:

because the building is not beauti-
