ELkS DEP[ORE
 PRESS STORIES

The following resolution was adopted by Phoenix Lodge No. 335, B. P. O.. Elks, last evening:
 Whereas, Phoenix Lodge No. 335, B. P. o. E., has now in the service of the United States in the war with the em- pire of Germany and it's allies several of it's members, and
 Whereas, the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks is essentially a patriotic order, and t
 Whereas, we believe that the good name and reputation of those who serve in the present war be maintained, and
 Whereas it is claimed by certain newspapers that certain Arizona boys now in the army of the United States at Camp Kearney were guilty of in- discretion, which indiscretion, how ever, if true, is exploited and magni- fled by certain newspapers of the state of Arizona to the detriment of the reputation of our soldiers:
 Now, therefore,. be it resolved by Phoenix Lodge No. 335, B. P. O. E. that we regret and deplore the notoriety ac- corded by certain newspapers to such acts of indiscretion, if true.
 Furthermore, it is the sense of this lodge that such indiscretions even if true should be overlooked and not ac- corded space in newspapers to the end that the reputation of those who are now sacrificing themselves and who may be called upon to sacrifice their very lives for their country may not be further besmirched and to this end re- quest the newspapers to desist from further mentioning the incident.
 By the adoption of this resolution we do not, however, desire to be under stood as condoning the act of any per son who may have been party to such indiscretion.
 tPuollcity given by the newspapers 10 this has not been detrimental to the ooys but the persons who have been hurt by 1t are the civilians who par- tlcipated. The publicity is the kind these civilians have deserved because or their acts. Three weeks, about, has eiapsed since the incident alluded tc ana the newspapers have shown grea, ioreoearance in delaying this long be. tore ailuding to the affair.-The Editor

H|ELMAN BREAKS
 SONE MORE LAWS

William Hickman, who has the dis tinction of securing the longest jail sentence of any man in Maricopa ap- pears to have small knowledge of the laws of Arizona The liquor law is not the only one Hickman has broken for since his confinement in the county jail. He has again violated law and order. He probably is not aware that pguilistic encounter are not tolerated for yesterday he staged neat little affair in the sheriffs office.
 When his attorney, Marcus A. Wood ward, asked to see Hickman he was privileged to have the conference in the office of the sheriff. Immediately upon his entrance Hickman asked his coun- sel to "come through" with certain funds insinuating that he had not done what he had set out to do. Upon Woodward's refusal, Hickman gave up argument and resorted to his fists and was still exercising when the doors of his cell closed upon him.
 Woodward it is understood was en- gagged by Hielman's father to bring certain matters to the attention of the board of pardons and paroles. He is alleged to have stated that he meant to carry on the case for Hickman and that if there was any money to be re- turned it would go to the man by whom he was employed and not to his son.

order house not only does not maka
any effort to sell goods In its own cltv

locked doors of a private office, He
knows that he must face the music IN

knows that he must satisfy every Gus.

but probably others who will soon
know all the facts if he does not do the
square thing by any one of his
patrons.
There is no reason In the world for
any person to send his money to a
mail order house because he cannot

give him the chance to make such
profit as any dealer would make of the
transaction and it is only fair to your.
self to keep that profit at home rather
than to send it away to some far dis
tant city from which 1t will never 70
turn.
