A CLOSEUP OF NoRTHCLIFFE

e. W. Barron, Wall Street Journal)
 London-Northcliffe Is not the ambi- tious, scheming type of man one would naturally associate with the builder of from fifty to one hundred publications. To me personally his predomiRating characterist- ics appear as loyalty and strong sense of justice. He is dictatorial because energetic, and he has done enough things in the world to have manifested bad judgment in some
 When 1 asked him concerning certain course as affecting his circulation, he promptly replied: q don't ask anybody to subscribe to my papers or read them. publish them for what think is right and other people may read them or burn them.
 These sentences, 1 think, reflect the man as we'll as anything. People accuse him of being ambitious to succeed Lloyd George l don't for a moment believe it. He Is a born-and-bred-in-the-bone journal ist, seeker for the truth in news, a dissemi- nator of facts with integrity and patriotism.
 He owns 5 per cent in the corporation controlling his publications and sometimes a little more as minority ownership changes. But his brother, associated with him, IS far richer
 For many years Northcliffe's income was perhaps two million dollars Of late it doesn't concern him in the least that it has not been helf that Like all true journalists, he has more interest in the truth and in the expression of truth than he has in any per sonal profits or honors
 He made Kitchener the idol of England, but when several visits to the front con- vinced him that Kitchener was out of date and that his shrapnel would never win the war against the German high explosive shells, he demanded shells, shells, shells, threw Kitchener into the scrap heap and made Lloyd George minister of munitions. He over threw Asquith with paragraph and didn't hesitate to declare privately that he preferred government of newspapers.
 In Paris the government may be over turned with bon mot that shakes the boulevards Clemenceau is said to have thus overturned six governments each with a sentence of condemnation.
 But Northcliffe goes upon the battle field himself and instead of scrapping with shrapnel, lines up with big guns for the high explosives, and politically. and for the empire, he fights, not to hurt but to kill that which is false.

VON TIRPTTZ SLAVES HIS WHISPERS
(Bystander.)

(Bystander)
 The startling news has just come to hand that the ineffable von Tirpitz has shaved his wonderful whiskers. Ones first idea is that he must have grown them in the first place in satisfaction of lost bet and honor now being satisfied with the lapse of the time specified, he is at liberty to take back his human shape again. The British navy has played Delilah to Germany s very hirsute Samson with vengeance. In the days of Drake, the boast used to be that our naval commanders had singed the king of Spain beard; in the days of Beatty it is von Tirpitz' whiskers that have gone by the board. Other times, same manners, von Tirpitz will now presumably shave his head also, and make diigent inquiries as to the war price of sackcloth and ashes.

The United States health department re- gently sent out over the country pamphlet in which the methods of treating pneu- monia were given. Whisky was given as a very effective medicine. The govern ment health men may know what they are doing in advertising treatment for the di- sease, but they certainly wasted paper in sending such information to the "dry" state of ArizonaI

A New York meeting of pacifists wob- plies and anarchists was marred by free for all fight. and those who were getting the worst of it strained their lungs yelling for the police.

Phoenix. Advices contained in As sociated Press dispatches a few days ago, to the effect that Secretary Baker had urged the disbanding of all state, county and municipal councils of de- fense, are denied in a message re- ceived yesterday by the Arizona state council of defense, signed by Frank lin K. Lane, secretary of the interior department. In his communication, Secretary Lane urges that the organ ized effort which has been in exist ence throughout the war shall be maintained until we know that this war is over and it's effects are pass ed" An exact copy of Secretary Bakers address, it is said, has been forwarded from Washington to all councils of defense in the United States, that his expressed suggestion in regard to the work of the councils in the future shall be made known to the public.

 Phoenix: That the school laws O. Arizona are antiquated and inefficient is the almost unanimous decision of the leading educators of the state. So there is to be offered to the January legislature at least one bill that will seek to find a better system, even though it may need reference to the people at the next general election. The first point of attack is to be the state board of education, now com posed of ex-officio members, such as the governor, who are declared to have no place on the body or to be too busy in their own offices to give the board the attention it deserves, or school officials. who naturally view all things accordingly to their own school interests or personal appoin- tees of the governor, who do things just as the governor directs that they be done.

Phoenix: Mrs. Edward R. Powell or Phoenix, yesterday received a letter from MT. Powell in France. He wrote under date of November F from a hospital, stating that he had gone over the top while the going was amidst an atmosphere filled with buzZing bullets, until he was slapped by a piece of shrapnel. But now that he was on the road to complete recovery, MT. Powell said he had lost all thought of the frightfulness of war, and writes in a good vein of the humorous phases of his life as a fighting marine. Mir. Powell enlisted in the marines from the Christian Science Monitor staff iE Boston, but for many years he was circulation manager of The Arizona Republican.

Yuma: The new Imperial-Yuma pro- ject, embracing an all-American canal, now is figured to cost S31 1000, 900. There is inclusion of the sum Of ST., 6OO,O0O, to be paid the United States government for the use of the Laguna dam, sum to be credited to the local Yuma project, which now is charged with the entire cost of the dam and its irrigation works, amounting to SIP an acre. In the courts at the present time is a protest against the amount of this charge, asserted to be exces- sive and confiscatory. It would be re- duced about $2O an acre under the new arrangement.

Phoenix: With regard to the efforts Of the food administration to secure unanimous action on the part of Phoe- nix dealers to reduce the price O. meats to the consumer. the following statement was issued from state head quarters While it is not the desire of the federal food administration for Arizona to enter into a newspaper con troversy with any concern operating under a government license, it main tains. it's stand that the Phoenix Wholesale Meat & Produce company. controlling seven retail shops, shouid reduce prices. The fact that the Tribolet market. operating under similar conditions. buying beef in the same market. and giving the same character of service. has actually re- duced prices is prima facie evidence that the Phoenix Wholesale Meat X
