10000 Men Are Idle

st. Louis, Nov. 30.-Ten thousand
men were thrown out of work, and
plants estimated in value at 10 mill
lion dollars, and representing 100
million dollars investment were made
idle at midnight when the sixteen
st. Louis breweries were closed ae-
cording to government order. Manu-
facturers of beer and near beer, the
chamber of commerce, Mayor Kiel
and labor leaders have made vigor-
Gus efforts to have the order modi-
fled, and there are indications that
there will be some kind of a move
ment among .the manufacturers to
hold together their forces in the hope
that there may soon be modification
of the law.
1t is estimated that there is enough
beer to last three or four months.
Considerable grain on hand will be
lost. None of the brewers have as
yet announced plans for the CONVEX
sion of their plants into other indus
tries.

A Disqraceful Offense

Some of the newspapers of the state have given Indefinite publicity to a disgraceful affair on the occasion of the first visit of party of Arizona state officials to San Diego February 22 to attend the review of the 15sth, the Arizona regiment at Camp Kearney So far the names of the offenders have been witheld Certain of the officials particpat- cd in a drunken orgy in a room in the U S. Grant hotel, of an Arizona boy member of the officers training camp Several soldiers in uniform were drunk and later made their appearance in a drunken condition in the lobby of the hotel.
 AS a result two of the Arizona boys were relieved of duty in the training camp and denoted to the ranks having lost opportunity in their military career which cannot come 10 them again.l In the findings of the board which reduced them lis stated of one of them that he was not drunk but was blameworthy, primarily in failing to stop civilians from using his room for improper purposes thereby causing soldiers to disgrace themselves and their uniform"
 If this punishment. the severest that could have been visited upon this young man, the permanent blightng of his prospects at the beginning of prom isng career is to be borne by him. what punishment should be laid upon those civilian" state officials who present at, participated in and encouraged this orgy?
 Much will be heard of this matter. Arizona will have much to do before it has purged itself of his disgrace and this affront to the United States army.

water to be made available by the con- struction of the Verde Reservoir when used in combination with our present system, He points out that the history of the rivers for nearly 30 years show that alone and not operated in connec- ton with the present projects, the stored water that could be stored on the Verde would not be sufficient to irrigate more than 15,00o acres.
 The cost of the construction of the proposed Verde Dam is not stated in the proposition as published.
 It is proposed. however, to assess the shareholders, those who have perma- nent water rights, $1 per acre per year for five years, making $5 per acre. This would yield $925, 100000. This sum. 1t is provided, shall not be greater than that contributed by the government for the Indians and by the dry land own- CTS. together.
 Sum of Money to be Raised
 Upon that basis the sum raised would amount to $1,S50, ,000.00; adding this sum to that already expended and charged to the Water Users, the total cost of the whole project would be s12,- 016,S21.97.
 Upon a basis of 215,000 acres. the total cost per acre would then be Soo.S9 1 assume that it is proposed to so ad- just the cost under the proposed plar that the cost of each acre of the 215, 5,00( acres shall be equal-in this case $55.S! l or 94 cents per acre more than the cos now charged against the Water Users
 In 1915, MT. Elliott, engineer of tht association, made a written report ol the project of the Verde Dam. He re ported on three forms of dam con struction; first, gravity section mas onry dam; second, a rock filled dan with concrete face; and third, a rein forced multiple arched dam.
 His estimate of the cost of the frs dam was $2,0S6.514.75. of the second $S04, ,310.5O; of the third S1.271. .565.75.
 It is probably safe to say that thi construction would cost now by at leas 20 per cent more than in 1915. If W take that estimate of increase of cos due to increased cost of labor and ma terial, We would have as the estimate cost:
 Of the first form of dam ..$2, 1903, ,S77.f Of the second form of dam 65,172.t Of the third form of dam .. 1,525,S1S.S
 The proposed assessment, howeve provides for fund not in excess of $1 9,00000 so that the construction , the first form of dam estimated to co ] of 2la millions of dollars is automat cally excluded from consideration.

Register Today. sne Last Chance

If you have not registered today you cannot vote at the city election to be held Tuesday April :. The registration will be closed tonight.
 The supplemental registration that is, the reg straton voters since the primary has been almost 1000. We wish that today 400 more names could be added to the list bringing the total registration above 1000.
 The voters have already done very well; better than they ever did before We doubt whether there is another city town in the country in which such large proportion of the voters qualified themselves for election. But let have by tonight the other 400. We might have reached that mark already but for the bad weather of Wednesday and the muddy, outlying streets of yesterday.
 It is not only matter of pride that there should be a complete registration. It will also be profitable if it is followed by heavy vote at the election. We will have better government next year whoever may be elected

The temper of the Netherlands regarding the seizure of the Dutch ships as manifested in the charnber of deputies on Wednesday makes it abso- lutey that if that country forced into the in consequence of the seizure it will not be the siGe of the allies. It may have been supposed that the Netherlands would hesitate to declare against the allies cut that country food supplies from America which has undertaken the task of feed ing the allies and such neutras as it can. The chief food supply which Holland stands in need is grain but it pointed out in the debate that that Germany is in control of the Ukraine and the chief granary in Europe, wheat will be obtainable from that Petroleum would likewise be obtainabe through Germany and since the outbreak of the Holland has been dependent Germany for it's coal supply. Its trade Europe before the war was con- ducted chiefly with Germany, Russia, Great Britain and Belgium It is still accessible to all except Great Britain.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Let the Truth Be Heard

March q, 1918. Editor, Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 Newspaper reports are to the effect that the board of education of the Northern Arizona Normal school has removed Dr. R. H. H. Blome as presi- dent of that institution, replacing him by the appointment of F. E. Cornelius of Winslow. This action is alleged to have been taken because of charges of disloyalty to the cause of America in the present war.
 Dr. Blome is reported as stating: "All charges of disloyalty are false and can be proven to be so, when made in the open and above board and he challenges the world to investigate. Moreover, all the pupils of the Normal protest his dismissal, uphold his pa triotism and loyalty and declare that they will not return to their studies until fair and impartial hearing of the charges is granted.
 Clearly, under these circumstances the governor of Arizona owes Dr Blome, the pupils of the Normal and 1 the citizens of Arizona, a prompt and thorough hearing of the charges which led to his dismissal
 Should it be proved that the useful ness of Dr. Blome, by reason of acts ldisloyal to the United States, is ended as the head of that school, the gov ernor must sustain the action of the board.
 On the other hand, if the board is Iunable to substantiate these charges, lcommon justice and fair dealing de- lmand the exoneration and re-instate- lment of pr. Blome and the removal oi those members of the board who are found to have taken action without just cause.
 The citizenship of Arizona is toe Ihigh in character to allow this incident , to pass unnoticed. Some action mus be taken and at once, and the governor
 should take it. If he does not, the citi-
 genes willy of necessity, seek some ether means of investigation and right ing of the wrong. if it be found tha Dr. Blome has suffered unJustly. - Yours very truly, H. B. WILKINSON.

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY
Still Time to Save Chicken, Though
Usefulness of Bread Dough Was
Thing of the Past.

She was entertaining city friends at

to have the event as nearly perfect as
possible, she had served dinner to her
small son and his visiting cousin, Bill
ly, In the kitchen first and then BAN
lshed them to the back yard. But
while she gave apparently undivided
attention to her guests conversation,
she was nevertheless conscious of the
very frequent opening and closing of
the back door, of boys footsteps, of
little chickens yeaping and, finally, of
Billy's distressed face peeping in at
the swinging door. But she did not
remember until too late that she had
carefully covered some bread dough
to rise in the one place in the kitchen
where the heat was just right-On the
little platform under the stove. At
last Billy's head bObbed far enough in
to the room for the company to see
his disturbed look and one guest said:
"Come. here, little boy, to see me,
won't you?"
"Why," said Billy, encouraged, 81
jest wanted to tell Aunt Mary that one
little chicken is about to get into her
bread, and another one can hardly get
out"
