 TELLS OF WORK

The following is copy of a letter to Mrs. Anna Tribolet from her son, Alton, who enlisted in the marines April 13. Mrs. Tribolet was so well pleased with the letter that she took it to the Marine Corps Recruiting Sta tion, 111a West Wasn:ngton street, to slow to Sergeant Edison.

I understand that this is a very nice trip made by steamer, and it can also be made by rail.
 I like it fine here, and I want to say that this is the best thing that young man could do. It is like going to school, except that the men take more interest in it than a school boy takes in his work. All Of ,ne recruits seem to be as enthusiastic in thei rwork as the drill instructors are in theirs. This would be fine place for brother Wal ter, and 1 do wish he was here with me now. They have fine open air gymnasium here and when the men are not drilling or playing ball, they are boxing Or wrestling and taking part in other forms of athletics.
 We have three square meals a day, and they are good ones, too. All of the men line up at mess call and the officer of the day goes through the mess hall to inspect the food and all the mess at tendants, or walters, as you call them at home, to see that they make a clean appearance. After all this is done the men march in to partake of the boun<eous supply.

 The bishop adds that, while the work of the clergy at home is vital and while their duties have been increased by the war, the church is ready to "comb out" the clergy again and make all possible arrangements to supply man power for every kind of serviceable work.

The Aircraft Board Inquiry

Most of the sin committed in this world is con- ceaed but a vast amount of that of which we hear exists only in suspicion or imagination. This emi- ucntly philosophical reflection is induced by the charges of Mir Borgum of graft in the aircraft board by which many millions of dollars have been dissi- pated
 Of Mir. Borgum and his capacity for discovering hidden things little is known. He is eminent sculptor. We know that scuptors capable of finding noble beautiful and inspiring figures in blocks of marble, which the rest of could not discover But that is field of investgationfa removed from a search after graft.
 Reports of the nature of the discoveries of Mir Borglum are as vague as our knowledge of Mr. Borgum investigator, outside his chosen field of marble, and it may be that his discoveries when reduced to a tangible form, will be only what has been patent to the rest of us, to the whole world for many months; that is that $64O 100000 has been wasted through incapacty and careessness, which not really criminal but national charac- acteristics. How this money has been wasted do not know; we only know that the money was, and now is not and that we have nothing to show for it but scandal.
 Mir. Borgum appears to have given this matter closer attention than anybody else It is possible that a crime has been committed, and in any event, if the investigation ordered by the president proceeds, though it may fail to disclose actual graft, it will satisfy public curiosity to the manner of the dis spation of those millions into thin air
 As to the future of the aircraft board, we are already pretty well assured. After year of hopeless laundering, swathed with red tape and clogged by politics, it has been put under the direction of competent business man who will cut red tape kick out politicians, boss the job himself and make planes. else he will quit the ob leaving confes- sion of American ineffciency in public affairs The result of his experiment will determine whether the dreamer the theorist, the politician and the grafter inseparabe from any American enterprise in which public money is concerned.

UNCENSoRED
By Remlik

 Don't you think so? You may think what you like, nowa- days; But save on your talk, MT. Pro. They won't get nut, who keeps his mouth shut, For they've nothing against him to show. Twas thus since the races began, Most trouble is started by blab, And during the war, it is better by far, To conserve a good deal on your gab.
 Don't you think so? Speak out, MT. Pro, tell it all Go on record and tell where you stand Your silence won't do, we are laying for you
 Speak up for that dear Fatherland. You are damned if you do; you are damned if you don't; Be silent, or talk all you can; For a look at the eye of a dirty pro- guy,
 Shows him up to the average man.
 Don't you think so? We pay our respects to the pacifist, The weakling, the poor mental runt; He don't want to fight, so he uses his mite
 To keep others from doing their stunt. His reasoning always is weak, The true one he dare not impart, And it's easy to see that the pacifist he,
 Is a black hearted coward at heart
 Don't you think so?

SUNDAY SCHOOL APPEAL ISSUED

County Chairman J. C. Dobbins of the Arizona War Savings committee, yesterday issued an appeal to all the Sunday school superintendents in MaricQpa county to carry on the War Savings work during the public school vacation period. In a letter addressed 10 the superintendents he said:
 'The teachers of Maricopa county have been very active in the w. s. s. work among the scholars. but now that the summer vacation is here, the organization is disrupted. In some cases, War Savings societies are or ganized and officered by the pupils who will attempt to carry on the work through the summer vacation. This committee, after giving it a great deal of consideration. believes that the Sun day school would be a great help dur ing the summer vacation, and asks you to COG operate with them in this work. and would suggest that you organize war savings societies by classes, in schools, that the membership permits such organizations. As war savings society must have at least ten mem- 1 bers, 1t will be necessary to organize on different lines from the plan Sug- gested here in small schools. This we leave to the discretion of the superin tendent.
 Maricopas allotment is s900,000 for the year 1918. It is based on $20.O0 per capita. We have never succeeded in getting up to our allotment, so it. is necessary for a more complete organ ization and more hard Work.
 We are transmitting herewith the literature that is sent out in regard to the organizations of war savings socie- ies, and would be glad to furnish you with additional copies, if necessary and all the pledge cards that you may require. As you will see from the lit- erature, the main object of this work IS thrift, the saving of man. power, and the saving of material, which is the wealth of the country. The Thrift Stamp is supposed to represent the owners individual sacrifice that he makes for the carrying on of the war 1 Money that is available for invest ments is not the money for the pur- chase of Thrift Stamps.
 l You will note there is a white anC a pink card attached, transmitted fc you herewith. These are intended fol the younger pupils and represents theil savings in pennies and nickels. WLer the teacher has 20 cents, they purchase a Thrift Stamp, and one card is giver to the pupil and one card is retained

To "An Amiable Child"
(From the Outlook)

(fTOm the OuIlOOk)
 A small monument reminiscent of old time New York is often noted on Riverside Drive that somber memorial, Grants Tomb. The little stone is inscribed, Erected to the Memory of Amiable Child" The touching inscription has aroused much curiosity to the unrecorded of the victim of al untimely fate. A New York City paper says that the child the son of George Pollock, who owned tract of land in this section in 1797. While this "amiable child' a fishing excursion with his father at place called Fishing Rock" short dis tance out in the Ser he fell overheard and drowned. The father wrote, in conveying to another person the land where the monument stands: "The surrounding ground will fall into the hands of know not whom, whose prejudices better taste may remove the monument and lay the inclosure open. You will confer peculiar and interesting favor upon me by allowing me to convey the inclosure to you keeping it. however, always inclosed and sacred"

New York Unsafe for Democracy

A New York alderman predicts that within three months democrats and republicans will be calling upon Governor Whitman to Mayor Hylan of Greater New York The alderman adds that Mayor Hylan will ruin the democratic party in the greater city if he is not restrained by removal.
 That addendum, perhaps, would not appear tQ Governor Whitman a sufficient indictment against the democratic mayor. The governor, doubtless, would not regard of his functions the saving of the democratic party from ruin He might even be disposed to overlook certain shortcomings of the mayor rather than interfere with his depredations against democracy, and sarcasticaly recommend to that imperiled body appeal to national policy to make the world safe for democracy, some action to make Greater New York safe for democracy.

C|TY HALL SETS
 PACEFOR BONDS

Of all the departments in charge of sam w. Proctor during the third Lib erty loan campaign in Phoenix, the city hall earned the highest per cent, according to MT. Proctor. The record of the city hall. which, was canvassed with the assistance of City Manager Thompson, is 125 per cent.
 Other departments in Mir. Proctor's charge which went 100 per cent are: Federal building, assistants. Selim J. Nicholson and Herman Lewkowitz; state house, assistant D. F. Johnson; insane asylum, assistants, J. J. Lowe and Kohlberg and Button.
 Clarence Standage was MT. Proctor's assistant in the work done at the court house. The hotels. restaurants and rooming houses of the city made a fair record, having been thoroughly canvassed. It was found, however, that 90 per cent of the people there had subscribed through other departments, according to MT. Proctor.

 VISITS PHOENIX

Top Sergeant Emmet Morrison of the 334th artillery stationed at Camp Logan H. Root, Ark, believes that q knowledge of military affairs is much more important than a rank without the knowledge. With this view of the matter he is glad that he suffered dis appointment in not having qualified for commission after having graduated from an officers school, because his weight and height just at that time did not fit together according to the rigid army regulations.
 Sergeant Morrison is a son of Hon. Robert E. Morrison of Prescott. He has been at home on a nine day fur tough and yesterday arrived in the city accompanied by his father. He left last night for his post.
 When the United States entered the
 war. Sergeant Morrison was a student
 in the law department of the North western University at Chicago, ill his
 last year. He entered the officers training school at Fort Sheridan but little later was transferred to Camp | Pike. He finished the course but the
 malaria for which Arkanas is justly famous had made such inroads on him that his weight was reduced to PA;
 there was no corresponding reduction
 of his height, five feet eleven. He
 was naturally rejected.
 1 He returned to Chicago and went thence to his home at Prescott where he went out with the first contingent
 of five per cent, from Yavapai county Within five days after he went to the
 eantonment he was a corporal, then he
 became a sergeant and then, top-ser-
 geant. Having been in the service a year, he now says that he realizes how little he knew of the duties of an
 officer of even the lowest rank and | he is glad that he has had an oppor- | tunity to learn something.
