ARMING AGAINST FLU

1t is announced that Harvard research men have
developed the use of serum in the treatment of in
fuenza which greatly reduces mortality and decreases
the perilous after-effects of the disease.
The epidemic which swept the country last win
found medical science and public health agencies
alike unprepared. No knew much about the
disease and its treatment. Drastic efforts to mini
mize contagion about all that could be done.
Health officers predict that there will be a
currence of influenza in the United States in the
coming winter.
No louder warning should be needed The
granted possibility that influenza will appear again
should stir authorities to take every precaution
within their power.
State and city health departments should get
possession of all information relating to influenza
be had from the United States Public Health Service
and should make that physicians fully in
structed in the best methods of handling the plague
Schools can do their share, and the public be
guard. Epidemic depression and panic are absolute
ly needless when notice of the enemy's plans have
been given thus far in advance.

had been concealed Oblivion being
the supreme punishment inflicted upon
Corteis' kind by all the governments
of the world, the Lorimers were merely
working hand glove with the au-
thorities when they kept a successful
secret the fact of Chrys' marriage. So
ciety was utterly in the dark as to the
outcome of her romance.
Next morning. when l went to DADDY
with my bits of gossip, he exclaimed.
"Goodi it took! / was sure it would.
1 knew a festival would check any ru-
mors of a funeral.''
But Chrys herself" l ventured to
press puzzling point upon Daddy.
Chrys and Bob are twins, and at
present they're conducting themselves
as though they had only about half a
brain apiece!
There was a sigh underneath his
mild sarcasm. Still it's queer how
exactly events fit together in this life.
Chrys simply refuses to believe Certeis
is dead So, according to her notion,
she isn't bit of widow, and natural
ly she's consented to the necessary
plans for strict silence that I've been
carrying out"
"And so she doesn't know about
Cert"
"She hasn't the least idea of what a
id scoundrel she married! l beg
your pardon. l can't speak decently Of
him. Come here little one-you've
been heap of comfort to me in hard
year.
There were tears in Daddy's eyes
Evidently being a multimillionaire
doesn't spoil a man for being a real
father.
Just look at yourself. Jane!" he
continued, surveying me from head tc
foot. You're SAFE No danger of my
touching that wig" This was refer
ence to his favorite way of teasing me
by mussing my hair. But girl, / dc
feel like scalping you. l wonder wher
you're going to make up your mind tC
take that darn thing off and make
yourself over into our own Jane
again."
rI-I-wonderi" The thought brought
tears to my eyes in turn, and I threw
myself into Daddy's arms for a grand
good cry.

Get Rid of the Weeds

Now while We are cleaning up in town in prepa-
ration for the state fair and the incoming winter
visitor something should be done in the country ad-
jacent to the town especially in the vicinity of the
fair grounds where great rows of sunflowers, and
other weeds line the roads obscuring view of the
frenquently well-kept fields beyond.
1t IS easy for one to relieve himself permanently
Of sunfowers. 1t is only necessary to cut them two
seasons in succession before they go to seed and there
viii be none on the third. If they cut early enough
and burned that viii be sufficient to destroy them
in a single season.
1t is so little trouble to get rid of the more un-
slightly growths along the country roads that we
wonder that the land owners allow them to remain.

The Reeedins Strike Wave

We have probably passed the peak of the strike
era and are descending to sane level again. For
the last six months there has been strike mania 1t
was said two months ago that there were 10000
strikes big and little east of the Mississippi river
SOME, perhaps many of these strikes were not with
ont proper grievances but the majority of them
were outbursts Of unrest There was complaint
about wages or the usual working conditions Some
thing was the matter which could not be clearly de-
fined. Striking In the air and then there was
another strike.
That the epidemic is now receding we have almost
daily evidence, of it significant than the
proposal of Mr.. Gompers for the settlement of the
steel strike now less than a month old. That
contest for which the leaders of organized labor had
been preparing for years. Before it was called it had
the formal endorsement of the American Federation
It was understood that it to be the decisive con-
test between the open and the closed shop; it was
heralded fight to the finish and that the whole
country would be affected by the result of it.
Yet little while before it was called the fedora
ton chiefs showed some apprehension as to the
come of it and there apparent loss of keen
ness to lock horns with the Steel Corporations But
the plans had gone too far to be recalled The
leaders Of the steel workers said that only imme-
date strike could preserve the organization could
hold together the recruits who had been brought in by
months of campaigning.
1t was generally believed that the strike would
fail for it evident that the corporation would
yield until it had been totally crushed There
to it much at stake than the losses that might
result from many months of idleness.
To the strikers it must have been disappointing
from the very outset. There was not nearly such
walkout had been predicted. Many of the plants
of the corporation seriously affected, and
it was but few days before many of the strikers
flocked back to work. Though the strike has not
ended and has not ceased to be disturbance it is
plain by this time that it has failed.
How the proposal of Mr.. Gompers embracing
various features will be received it is hard to say
No doubt it will be somewhat modified by the general
committee of the labor conference before it is pre-
scented to the Steel Corporation for it's present
form it is proposal to the Corporation to give up
peaceably all the things for which it elected to en-
gage in what it seemed would be long and costly
war

Where The People
May Have a Hearing
The Public Utilities Board

To the Editor: l think that in jus
tee to myself and to the people who
were interested in the ordinance l
should make statement regarding my
Public Service Board Ordinance"
which 1 introduced at the last meeting
of tn city commission. and which was
so hastily rejected by them.
The idea of the formation of an adj
Visory board or committee to advise
and consult with the city commission
is not a new one and many prominent
citizens and busiess men believe that
such a board orgaized along the gen.
eral lines laid down, would be desir
able and helpful adjunct to the city
administration. The detail Of the man
ner of appointment of course was not
passed upon.
The ordinance 1 presented to the
commission was patterned largely after
the charter provision of the city of Los
Angeles, creating a department of the
government Of the city of Los Angeles
known as the Board of Public Utilities"
Let me say right here that the pup
lie service utilities in Los Angeles,
whether owned privately or by the city,
are under the control and management
of boards or commissions provided for
by the charter-the city council eX-
pressing only legislative and supervi-
sorry control over said boards and com
missions.
The board of public utilities serves
without pay, but appoints a secretary
to be paid. Their powers and duties
are to make Investigations into the af-
fairs of public service utilities. They
have the right of access to the property
and books of the said public utilities
at all reasonable times.
They have the power to command
the assistance of the necessary city
officials and to employ inspectors
clerks and other officers as the council
may prescribe.
They have power to administer oaths
and to issue subpoenas, and there are
penalties provided for failure to COM
ply with their orders, rules, or reg
ulations
| mention these provisions because il
was charged by the commission that
my ordinance took the power out Of
their hands and gave it to the public
service board, and to show that sucr
objections are immaterial, and really
ridiculous, and | make this Statement
Arizona republican., 1919-10-11
| Listen to Gossip and Learn the Lor-
inner PARTY Had an Object

Katherine Miller and all the rest of
the world, of course, believed that Jane
Lorimer had been killed in a railroad
wreck. l have had constantly to re-
mind myself of this fact, but it was
impressed on me from without a score
OF times during the evening of the big
Lorimer party. In this Disguise
which has been working miraculously
and passing as Mr.. Lorimer's secre-
tary. | was a spectator rather than a
guest throughout the affair. l was
dlsregarded and overlooked, very much
as if | were a table or a tree, by many
woman who would have shaved her
hair rather than snub a member of
the Lorimer family!
l don't intend to lay it up against
any of them. Yet it has been some
thing of a revelation to discover how
dreadfully rude some women who pride
themselves on their manners can be to
another whom they consider their So
cial inferior. However, that wasn't
the fact which distressed me most.
More than once 1 heard comments of
this nature:
How could Mrs Lorimer think of
giving such a grand affair before the
year Of mourning for Bob Lorimer's
wife was up?"
"Of course, you've heard that Chrys-
tobel Lorimers wedding has been post
poned?"
or called off, perhaps? Who
knows?"
1t was true that the party had been
planned only as an entertainment for
Jim's best friends. But unfortunately
1t had turned out considerably more
splendid than Mrs. Lorimer had meant
owing partly to its novelty and the
magnificence of its environment, and
partly to the lengthy list of Jim's ac-
quaintances.
couldn't possibly inform the gossip
ing critics that all the Lorimers-ex-
cept my poor Bob, with his strangely
shaken mindT-were conspicuously
cherishing very much alive Jane
Lorimer in their midst. and that hence
the convention of years mourning
had just naturally been forgotten.
Moreover, so far, all the details OF
the disappearance of Hamilton Certels
Arizona republican., 1919-10-11

with all due respect to my fellow com
missioners.
Besides this the public utilities board
of the city of Los Angeles has power
to hire and to discharge officers and
employees, to determine and fix rates
to be charged for the service of water,
electric light, power, gas, telephones,
street railways, interurban railroads,
and other public utilities.
I am merely citing these things to
show how inexcusable were the objec-
tons offered by the commissioners as
their reasons for not favoring the adop-
ton of my ordinance creating a board
of public service.
1 maintain, along with many others,
that the principle is a good one, that
it is in the line of real progress, and
that it viii be acted upon sooner or
later.

The /. W. W. and the Negro

l. w. w. literature especially appealing to colored
people is being circulated in Phoenix and vicinity.
There can be no objection to the efforts of any
ganizaton to increase its membership provided it
goes about it in the right way but the /. W. w. is
not going about it in the right way, but in way
calculated to stir up bitter racial strife where
Exists How far, if at ALL the activities of the I. w.
W. have been responsible for the outbreaks in Ar
kansas and elsewhere in the south not in
formed, but the l. w. w. campaign among negroes
is by no means a new thing.
The pamphlet which some of our local colored
citizens have received with request pass it along
isl illustrated by the photograph Of the charred body
Of the victim of a mob at Waco. Texas, than
three years ago. Then follows more less stats
teal resume of the lynchings of colored men, 1t
dwells upon discrimination and is otherwise cal
culated to fire The colored man against his white
neighbor. The appeal closes with invitation to the
colored citizen quit work and join the zone big
union"
This is not good ground for l. W. W. campaign
ing among the negroes. The negroes of Arizona have
had little of which to complain. They are for the
most part industrious. The ratio of idlers among
them is smaller than among their American or Mex
lean neghbors. Perhaps larger proportion of them
own their homes. If of them are very rich,
few of them very poor
No colored has been lynched in Arizona
Arizona, in its woolly days was much given

provocaton. when the laws or the enforcement of
them seemed inadequate. The latest occurred more
than a year ago The victims of these Iynchings
have always been American or Mexican murderers
The negro has nothing and can have nothing in
common with the l. w. w. His safety and prosperity
like the safety and prosperity of all abiding c-
depend upon the prevalence of law and order
The worst thing that could happen to him would be
a reign of ideness and disorder such as the l. w. W.
propose.
