A state university romance termi- hated in an interesting wedding in Fl Paso recently when Miss Zella Temple Jay, daughter of Mrs. Gertrude Jay of this city became the bride of John Wallace Matthews of Tucson.
 Juniors at the University of Arizo- ma, the young people are both exceed ingly popular with the student body and news of the wedding, which took place on Friday, created no end of pleasurable surprise when it became known yesterday.
 MT. Matthews who enlisted in the engineering corps will leave shortly for the American university. Wash ington D. C., and Mrs. Matthews will resume her studies. The pretty war bride is a graduate of the local high school of which her mother is a mem- Der of the teaching staff She be- longed to the Wrangler Literary so- ciety and her cleverness was noted even as a high school pupil. She has developed that literary talent at the university and is one of the leading contributors to the program of the Coffee club, and to the university publication Arizona Wildcat" Her delightful personality has made her d favorite in the Alpha Sigma sorority to which she belongs and she is also popular in Y.

The New Government

The present city administration has received the enlargement of a large number of the voters by small but sufficient majority. The endorsement how ever is not unqualified since it carries with it the election of Mir Irvine the only candidate who promul- gated definite platform in which he criticised the administration and pledged himself to certain re- forms.
 Among other propositions submitted by him was that of taking counsel with citizens, with repre- sentative advisory body, that the public might be fully apprsed of the action of ahe city government fin matters of deep concern While the commission is responsible for it's own acts the charter contem plates that those acts shall be performed openly That has technically been done, but complaint has been made that certain important policies have been se crey decided upon, leaving nothing more to do than 70 hastily ratify them in open sessions
 Suspicion has now and then been expressed that there was an influence behind certain functioning, that there has been a secret advisory board which was not representative. Such a board Mir. Irvine suggests is preferable.
 But anyway, government for the next year been established by the election of yesterday and n will be the duty of all citizens. to cooperate with it that the commission form of government may be made success We believe it will be better gov ernment than have had in the past, in quence of the awakening of the people, has been shown by the heavy in which the margin was so narrow that of the officials elected find in it much to wander from straight path.

FRANKNESS AND FACTS

me great crying need in this country is for a few lacts' lew things to tie to- few things to get our teeth lnto That is all there is to it little truth We all think hop pray know that the Tinted States VIII do her great share in winning this war which must be supported by an occasional demonstration We must be told few things We can't keen the nome fires of faith burning unless bit of the fuel of tact IS supplied and then
 Much of the clamor now rising over the conduct or the war never would have risen if the people had been told from time to time of what was happening given concrete instances of progress instead of ar@a Seneralizations; if mistakes had been frankly con- iesseo and not hidden so assduously if the people haa been put on the plane of partners in the prise instead ot merely producers for it. is well enough to blanket and bIunders and supdities "lth tne smug statement that democracy is poor warmaker but 1t doesn't work for the people of the United States consider their democracy as big enough and wlse enough and good enough make war just as capably as it can make cars or raise wheat or corn, Or lay railroads In time like this gen eralization will blanket only for a short period No man will submit forever to the things are going we'll without demanding proof that things are going we'll
 It apparently has escaped the consideration of the warmakers, Tor example, that if there are a million and half mothers with sons in camps and at the front and case of neglect out the remainder of the mothers immediately localze that of neg 1ect as impending their own sons and will not be comforted by the broad all well in the camps.
 We started into this about year ago with a loud and ringing cry that intended to make the ".~ S~Ao A0t "eiio0ideS, anu that IS d great anu nople battle cry but when have proceeded for all these months without making it clear just what are doing to bring this admirable state of affairs about and assure the people that all is we'll instead Of letting them know what is well and what is ill., are helping neither to make the world safe for de- mocracy nor our democracy safe for us.
 There seems to be lurking fear in the minds of most of the men in the department that if Ger many should discover that the United States is active ly in this war and doing things, Germany would inn mensey profit by the information, and America lose in exact ratio-that is, the military mind fails to dis tnguish between information of benefit the enemy, and information of any classng practically all information except of the general character detrimental to our national endeavors. That of course, is absurd, but it is mary.-S Samuel c. Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post
