The Odor of Industry

Our neighbors in west Phoenix not, rule, to the establishment of industries, and the introduction of and longer payrols they feel that they have choice of the industries to be set up. They would not, for instance be averse to a concern proposing manufacture bottle Florida water, to for quantity production of French perfumes. Indeed, they might consent to a subsidy for either of these enterprises which would promise instead of violent olfactory assaults upon them pleas ing odoriferous caresses.
 But we suspect that their aversian to the location of packing house in that part of the is based upon a tradition rather than upon fact The pack ing house of today, conducted by modern methods. quite distinct from the old unregulated slaughter house.
 Many eminent cities have not only survived the modern packing house but have thrven shadow. Among them such places Chicago, Kansas City, St Joseph Omaha, Sioux City and Indianapolis. Nor has a packing house disturbed the chemical purity of Los Angeles
 But for the packing houses would be in a rather bad way for meat. This realize is not an argu- rnent against opposition of the people the tion the city which it is proposed to locate packing house which the citizens will be objec- tionabe however useful it may Feeling that way about it. the people of that part of town do think they called upon make sacrifice which is
 
 But it is by no means settled fact that there is any sacrifice at all in their consent to the establish ment of the packing house in closer proximity them than it other sections the city They are will ing to abide by the result inquiry the regu- lations between packing houses and the popuace of other cities
 The same objection that which has been tenta- lively offered in this case, suppose, would have been offered by the neighbors proposed location in of the other three corners of Phoenix so we too pointedly accuse our citizens of the west additions of trying to throw monkey -wrenches among the wheels of progress.

The Last Word

Thousands Cheer as City Marches says the Republicans headline writer Now, perhaps some local student of tn, human race as she is found in Arizona can tell us why Phoenix crowds DON'T really cheer when a pee-rade passes. The acclaim and protestations Of Phoenix multitude witnessing a ps. triotic procession might be likened to the animation of a cold pancake; 'at that, an apology would be owing to the pancake for the comparison.
 A sedate crony of ours told us once when we had the mater up for dis cussion, that while watching a Fortha July pee-rade he was overcome with emotion or something or other, and he let out raucous "Whoopeei Hurrah.' Upon regaining control of himself he found the mute curiosity of the natives transferred from the passing marchers to himself Whereupol. ne felt as cheap as a singed cat and sought refuge down a nearby alley

CAN YOU READ IT?

Something tells us that we should say word about the fast failing Vic tory Liberty loan.
 But what is there to say? We of the so-called civilized world have been brought up to believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. It begins to look as though the timx mas come for a real test of this old saying. And we trenlble at the prospect.
 For, if the sword wielded by the Yank over in France hasn't convinced the great American public that the thing for us to do is to buy these Lib erty bonds until we're broke, where is the pen that can put this fact across
 That truth is, that the soldier has taken his sword and written in letters of free mems blood the reasons why you and I should buy bonds.

 No watchman was anywhere in sight nor any policeman. Certeis lived in splendid old mansion only a few blocks from the grocery. I went toward it hoping to gather reinforcements as went. But I couldn't find an officer and I was afraid of the few men passed. I had to face the job alone. went straight to the servants entrance of Certeis' house, entered the vestibule and shut the door. I was never so afraid in my life. Probably the thieves were watching. I hoped they wouldn't pay much attention to one of the maids who had stayed out late Sunday night. l I think I must have an impressive personality. When the butler answered my ring, I put on fine lady manner and ordered:
 "Ter Dr. Certeis that Mile. Wander lvn must see him at once,"

Now that it is definitely settled that the peace of the world is to be main tained by an international police force, it will be necessary to develop inter national police" reporters to cover the international police station.
 With its customary foresight and re- gard for the comfort of it's reader, the Cancels Back has for some time been training 8 special man to cover these international hoosgows. A given piece of newspaper reporting requires par ticular kind of writer, and so it is that we have been training our man in the art of writing up a theoretical days run of news such as he will pick up on his international police beat. We present herewith a few samples of his practice work.
 Panama Canal Station: Nick Car agua, who is said to have a long inter- national police record, was arrested by a flying squad of plain clothes men from the Panama station, under the leadership of Sergeant Dan O'Reilly. Nick was taken after a hot chase down Pan American alley, in which a num- Der of shots were fired. The fugitive finally capitulated after he made a futile effort to hide in Salvador's s saloon. The officers had been shadow ing Nick for a number of days, fol- lowing complaints on the part of Miss Honney Lulu Cor 0 Miss Hon Duras) who alleged contemplated kidnapping. Nick is being held pending an investi- gation of his case"
 l Following a raid by the interna- i tional police from the Mexican border station last night, Miss May Heeko was l jailed on a charge of disorderly con duct, keeping a disorderly house, Vag- rancy and disturbing the peace. The officers express themselves as elated over the haul they made across the Tine" last night, their prisoners in cluding one V. Whiskers Carranza and l Pancho Ubiquitous Villa. Both of these gents are notorious characters of the south of the-line" underworld
 '"The raid followed a prolonged orgy which eliminated in a shooting match between Whiskers and Pancho, who are said to be rival suitors for the hand Of Miss Heeko. The police have de- layed raiding the May Heeko dive for some years, believing that Uncle Sam ! in whose back yard the Heeko resi- dence is located, would see to it that the nuisance was abated. Sam seems to have been delinquent in this respect and in the face of heated protests from all over the world -neighborhood, the police were forced to act It will be recalled that just few years ago the venerable Sam, himself, had a neigh borhood quarrel with the swarthy ladv who travelled at that time under the alias of Miss Mexico"
 Any Old Station: The entire inter- national police force has received q wireless today from an old man by the name of Uncle Sam, said to live ir North America, asking that they keeJ a sharp lookout for a runaway boy
