INDIANS IN DOMESTIC TROUBLE.

Time was among the Indians when
the buck ruled the household with
stoical Indifference to the wishes,
likes or dislikes of his other
half, the squaw, and came about as
nearly having his own way in all
matters at home as the most super
cilious despot that ever exacted the
adulation of his fellows, but times 1t
seems have changed. The hens"
uncoached by proselyting white
suffragettes or any other advocates
of "woman's rights have, all of a
sudden, declared themselves, and
now there is CONSERVATION in the
aboriginal cock-loft.
From what haphazard information
hat could be CLEANED from the
usually reticent Indians, it appears
that something like a dozen middle
lged married bucks left home on the
}ame day a short time ago, telling
their wives that they were going on
/ vacation" but where they were
Going, what they proposed doing as
means of spending that vacation,
md just when they intended to re-
urn were matters upon which they
would give their wives no informa-
ion whatever.
When the men had gone, the wives
got together and held a Council of
war; at which it was decided, as
retaliatory measure, that they take
vacation" Of their own. Having
learned after diligent inquiry that
The men had gone down the Colorado,
the women concluded they would go
up the river-and they went.
In the course of few days the men
returned but found deserted homes
no fires burning, no wood cut, no
grub cooked Nobody seemed to
know where the squaws had gone
and the bucks were sOrely vexed,
especially so when the rumor reached
hem that several young "stags" had
accompanied the squaws in their de-
)arture.
In the course of a day or two,
hn aI
t is said quite scene was enacted
When the truants hove in sight
,Ome of the men, the more philo-
optical ones, received their wives
after the manner accorded to the
)rOdigal son upon his return, but
Dthers proceeded to raise rough
hOuse and proposed to administer to
o their better halves damn good
lickin'," as one of the bucks termed
it, as means of defending against
,emale usurpation that sacred
privilege of wearing the pants"
AS the women would not stand for
his damn good" treatment, they
appealed to the Indian police The
result was that the most refractory
bucks were thrown into the calaboose
where they were left to ruminate
over the incongruities of pale-faced
etiquette, from an aboriginal stand
point, and view with serious appre-
tensions the humiliating conditions
incident to ''petticoat rule" When
they had gotten over their mad
'pell'' and promised to behave them
selves, they were permitted to go
hOme and make peace with their
Hives-a sadder but, it is believed,
wiser bunch of bucks

WOMEN WILL VOTE FOR Golfer
SAYS WOMAN VOTER.

A few days ago in an interview
with one of Arizonas most gifted
and intellectual ladies, we asked her
oppiniOn as to which candidate will
get the largest women's vote for gov
ernor in the primaries, and the lady
said-though with tinge of re-
proachfulness in her first remark:
Men have ever been ready to heap
fullsOme f1attery upon our sex; but
in matters of business and politics,
it is only lately that they so gladly
chant our praises. The women of
Arizona have come to know that in
politics it is not so much what a man
says as what he does
Answering your question | have
this to say: Fred T, Golfer will GER
tainly receive an overwhelming ma
jOrity Of the women's votes for gov
ernor Of Arizona, and for this plain
and simple reason: When he was oc-
cupying his first position as mem
ber of the constitutional convention,
and coming from the most obscure
county in the state, and though a
comparatively young man, he stood
up in the midst of the experienced
politicians down there at Phoenix
and supported Woman's Suffrage.
We must remember this was a very
dangerous thing for him to do, politi-
cally speaking, because the great
saloon powers of the state were as
much opposed to WOman's suffrage as
they were to prohibition and they
were the strongest politically organ
lied force in the state and possibly
the Oldest political force in the state.
1t required great deal of courage
to stand up for womans suffrage be-
fore 1t was a state issue, and we find
that Fred T. Golfer supported it un-
failingly all through the constitu-
tional convention. The same thing
was true of prohibition, and when the
question of the disposition of the red
light districts of the state came up
he championed that also in the same
manner. This was also a very dam
gerous thing to do politically as it
was an untried thing. He champion
ed all three of these issues before
thew became state issIlas
Since we have come into the war,
the great national government has
come out and backed him up in his
stand on all these, confirming the
wisdom of his foresight 1t is very
easy for people to stand for these
things now, but 1T is to the pioneer
fighters for these that we must give
credit for having the courage of their
These things show that Fred T.
Golfer through all his political career
has been deeply interested in these
very things that touch the heart of
because they touch
childhood and the home. Women are
grateful and in this instance they be-
lieve in the biblical axiom, 'muzzle |
not the OK that treadeth out the
grain. Besides all this we know him
to be man that accomplishes his
purposes"
1t is estimated that women will |
cast sixty-f1ve per cent of the votes |
That being true, Senator Golfers ma
jOrity at the primaries will be over
The Enterprise feels |
is safe when women take an |
interest in state affairs, for their mo-
tives are never sordid, but always |
altruistic.-Bowie Enterprise.

BACKING Up THE
WAR SAVINGS

Imagine, if you can, every man,
woman and child in the United States
two dollar bill as an investment of
personal savings and as a loan to the
government in support of the war
That, speaking broadly, is one way
of visualizing the actual results of
the Was Savings campaign for the
month of July when the cash re-
ceipts in the treasury department
from the sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps surpassed all previous
records and totaled (for the month
only $211,417,942.61.
OF course, not every man, woman
or child in this country is as yet a
war saver, but the national war say
ings committee authorizes the con-
servative estimate that approximate
ly "a, 400 900 Americans have ac-
quired partnership with Uncle Sam
through the ownership of War Saw
ings and Thrift Stamps. A large
majority Of this army Of war savers
have definitely pledged themselves
TO save and economize in support OF
the war, and to invest in War Saw
ings Stamps a definite amount of
such savings during the remainder of
1918. If you are not a pledged wal
saver, remember that there are ap-
prOXimately one and One-quarter
million reasons "over there" why you
should enlist in this great army over
here.
Some of the statistics recently re-
leased by the national war savings
committee show in the most illumi-
mating manner the magnitude and
the splendid success of the War Say
ings Campaign to date. For instance,
War Saving and Thrift Stamps are on
sale at over 275, 200 authorized sales
agencies in this country; while OH
July 31st there were 116,4333 war
savings societies registered at Wash
ingtOn headquarters. Also, up to
and including July 31st the treasury
department has received in
cash sales from the sale of War
Savings securities $518,51O,3 O,334O3,
this representing the purchase of
War Savings Stamps to a maturity
value of approximately $624,711,24
And there are still outstanding un-
redeemed pledges for the purchase
during the last five months of 1913
Of War Savings Stamps to a total ma
turity value of over one billion dol.
lars more
In few words, the treasury re-
ceipts mean three things:
l. An investment by over a third
of the country's population and
Thrift at this time is a patriotic
z. A loan to the government in
support of the war.
3. Lessening of competition with
the government for man power and
for raw material
The War Savings campaign has in
the few months of it's duration made
a long stride toward educating the
public to the war neces-
sity Of Thrift, of lessening the nor
NAL consumption of the things the
needs to prosecute the
war, and it has offered to millions of
patriotic Americans a means and an
opportunity for translating their
savings into aid to the fighting men
in France.
In England they have called the
War Savings Committee the War
Winning Committee.

U.S.SUB-CHASER
 IS SUNK AFTER
 SECURED PLANE

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.- An American naval launch was sunk by German shore batteries along the coast of Belgium. The launch was cruising along the shore when a seaplane was seen to drop suddenly to the water. They immediately went to its rescue and found the men safe but in a perilous position It was necessary for them to tow it to shore that repairs might be made and even though it was along a hostile shore they thought they would take a change and attempt to save the plane. As they neared shore a battery opened fire, and before they could turn and get out of range a shot passed through one side at the water line and tore large piece out of the other side. The boat went down almost immediately, two of the Americans being drowned and two taken prisoners when they reached the shore. The remaining three made good their escape to al- lied territory.

He declared that the aid the Americans have already rendered the allies on the western front has caused great anxiety at the German imperial head quarters. The leaders know the eX- tent of the help given and fear it, while the people of Germany, who have been led to believe the subma- rine very successful, cannot under stand how it is that the Yankees have been able to get across the Atlantic. Reports became so numer- ous that the imperial government had to consent to let the people know that the Americans were at the front, but so far has refused to clear up the understanding of the submarine activity

The crew of nineteen were ordered to take to the boats, and they do not know what was done with the bark. The last they saw of it there was no sign of sinking. It may have been either sunk after they drifted out of sight or, as the Norwegians believe quite possible, it was turned into a German raider. Nothing has been heard of it since.

GREAT MENACE
 FOR RUSSIANS
 IN PETR0CRAD

LONDON, July 12.-The Russians are being visited by one of deadliest of foes, the disease known as cholera. Petrograd is very seriously affected, hundreds falling victims to the dread disease every day. The authorities and doctors are doing all in their power to stem the trouble. but there seems to be unsurmountable difficult ties before them, the one great trou' ble being the lack of food materials, and the discipline is very poor. The ignorant cannot be restrained from improper use of food and will not take care of the sick.
