The Town of Laveen

Laveen, this county is not much of a town so far as years population But there is difference between population and people. Population means mere numbers: people" the right stuff. That's what constitutes Laveen.
 Laveen will be heard of in Washington and in France while many much larger places some cities will not be on any that will figure there Laveen will be known the town whose resources and patriotism were underesmated by those whose busi- ness it was to make up the Liberty loan quotas They made wild guess at Laveen and missed it by more than 300 per cent.

Sneaker Clark and the Senate

It is not surprising that Champ Clark preferred to remain speaker of the house rather than to accept United States senatorship by appointment. We sup pose if Mir Clark desires election to the when the term of the late Senator Stone expires, he it. In the meantime he is of the bigger job of speaker though he would probably not find it at tanabe in the next congress That the very narrow democratic majority in the house will be wiped out by the elections next fall to be generally be- teved.
 There is nothing in the senate that invites a particularly able and ambitious It has sunk house which we used to say and perhaps some of us believed the most distinguished deliberative body on earth. It is composed now almost entirely of mediocre men. Richard washburn Child in a late article congress declares that there fewer men of ability in the senate than there fingers and thumbs on one hand. He places Lodge and Knox foremost Senator Johnson of California in his brief service has displayed greatness and has Senator Hollis As to the rest their achievements in the view of MT. Child must produce groans from the ghosts of Clay, Webster, Deliver and those who made the senate great
 The senate Mir. Chds comedies, honest, but at the same time it made quate of all times in American history when adequacy is required. It is composed largely of White House "bell-hops," messengers between the two ends of the avenue.
 The house. of course is no better but MT. Clark is the head of the house and whatever honor there may be in that position greater than the honor of membership of the senate though in that posi- ton he would probably take place among the few who are not ''bell-hops."

Army of Stenographers
Necessary for the War
Nc Uniform, No Thrills, No Romance,
But Steady Work for the Success
of American Arms TheirDuty

There is today in the city Of Washington in
active operation an army whose exploits attract
little notice, bat whose members are doing very
large bit toward winning the war for America
an army of stenographers and typists, twelve
thousand strong, recruited from every state in the
Union. A majority of these soldiers OF the note
book and typewriter are girls. Day in and day out
their II i'm bic fingers faithfully click out the
tremendous volume OF correspondence and records
required by great nation at war. They wear no
badge nor uniform, their work is all work and has
thrill nor romance; but the United States could
not stay in the war month without them.
The rapidly expanding departments of the
government IN Washington employ stenOgrapherS
and typiStS with greed that seems Unsuitable. The
United States Civil Service Commission estimates
that there will be twenty thousand government
employees of this class in Washington at the end
of this year. Owing to the general demand the
commission is finding difficult task to meet the
calls of the different departments Examinations
are held every Tuesday in $50 Cities and the
commission states that an examination will be held
in any city at any time, day night, when there is
prospect of assembling class of three or four
competitors. 1t is practicable to complete such an
examination in an hour.
The Americas Business College is daily preparing
young people for these departments.
