SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES AND POPPYCOCK.

Local socialists who have met and resolved u
memorable the president for the repeal Of the espion-
age law. in contemplation OF the pardon or release Of
political prisoners convicted hereunder. are doing the
socialist cause no particular good 10y their act. 1t 's
bound to be construed as anticipating forgiveness Of
such men as Big BuI' Haywood. Victor l.. Berger.
and others of such school. "a mixture of T. W. w.-ism
and socialism, which true socialists ought never to
admit OF.
such socialists as Upton Sinclair. Charles Edward
Russell. Allan Benson and thousands Of others. might
have won for their party national respect. had there
been less Bergers Hnqutts. Debses. and others to spoil
their work. The language employed by the local So
cialsts in imploring the espionage laws repeal. though
founded on reason and right in some respects, is still
too apologize OF those who would profit by the pu--
pose OF IL. TO justify the demand.
Take. FOR example the relentless. homeopathic at
titude OF Victor Berger. former congressman and con-
gressman-elect from Milwaukee. recently convicted OF
violating the federal espionage act through conspiracy
to obstruot the governments war program. when he
declared in court:
II have done no wrong 1 have been living
up TO these principles for So years-those
principles the jury mas seen nj TO condemn.
I cannot account for the verdict"
Here we have another evidence. more striking than
1sual. OF the strange blindness which seems To have
come over SO many socialist leaders during the war.
Mr.. Berger has repeatedly defended the sinking OF

That Joe Luther has been on the
most intimate terms with Mayor
Carson from the very day that the
I Carson administration was induct-
ed into office a little more than a
year ago is well known to every
body who knows anything about the
city hall, but just what Mrc~Luth-
er's real position is i'm regard 10 the
city administration has beer a
matter of much conjecture.
However. il remained for Mayor
/ Carson himself 10 make public the
real status of Mr.. Luther. insofar
as the city administration is con-

the genial plumbing contractor is
some sor, of representative OF certain
interests hat sometimes negotiate
with the administration. a sort of
envoy plenipOtentiary of the "in-
visible government" as it were.
II is true that Nh. Luther has the
freedom of the city hall. He is
able TO walk u-nannounced into any
office in the city building and be
well received. He can get an au-
dience with Chief OF Police Kline
without the formality OF askins
Capt. Cordier TO tell the chief that
he wants TO see him. Even Asst
Chief of Police Cassidy has beer
known to drop important business
just to stop and talk to MIR. Luther.
City Controller Swygart is often
seen in close conference with Mr.,
Luther. and it is no uncommon
sight to see o and his brother
Jim Luther. who is superintendent
of the city water department. in
close conference. City Health Off
Ger Freyermuth. on infrequent Oc-
casions. has been seen in earnest
conversation with Mr.. Luther, and
these conversations and conference
es are all held at the city hall.
But Mr.. Luther is not an envoy
Extraordinary or minister plenipo'
tertiary of any invisible govern
ment. He is something more thar
that. according to Mayor Carson
The other afternoon the mayor
was conversing with "A little grouI
on We Of the principal corners
The wore some ladies in the par
ty. During the conversation Mr..
Luther passed and one of the ladies
asked the mayor who Mr.. Luther
was.
why. don't you know who hC
is?" proudly asked the mayor.
The lady admitted that she die
not.
why. that is the Col. House oi
my administration" declared the
mayor. Joe holds the SAINT rela.
tion to me that Col. House holds
TO President Wilson.
Now. everything will be all RICH
if somebody doesn't go and put Z

 When the cylinder was cracked it was thought that it could be replac aced in two or three weeks at the most but weeks stretched into months and at times Arata began to doubt wheth- CT it would ever get here. When it finally came in he felt like putting on a real celebration. He compromise ed, however, by lining up the force that he will need to resume operations.
 Two headings and diamond drill hole are to be started on the 500-foot level as soon as air is available
 Arata has made arrangements with Frank F.. Kerr, to drill a 1000-foot hole from the end of the main drift on the 800 due south through the granitic-diorite contact which is such prominent feature of the Pittsburg Jerome ground. Kerr has an air-pow. CT drill right in the district and ready to te moved to the P. J. as soon as Arata is ready for him.
 Since the compressor breakdown Arata has done little surface work on the Pittsburg Jerome claims but nothing of any consequence. It has been practically an idle property il that time.

ROUND OF CONFESSION
 AND LEk.EkCv MADE TO CONVICT ONE s

BISBEE. Ariz.. March is.-Truth Is stranger than fiction, although the old English statement that the law shall take it's course" oftimes strays from the straight and Harrow; some times to the advantake of some un- fortunate prisoner and with detriment to the other poor unfortunate
 Only week ago. three men were ar rested by the police for playing pO- her. the men, however, told the off cers that all their funds had been sto- len by two robbers who had entered their room and took everything of val ue. This set the police to thinking. and they realized that if the robbers were arrested it would take strong evidence to convict them. Local au- thorities talked it over with county authorities and it was agreed unani- mously to let the pokers players gp free if they would promise to testify against the robbers.
 Consequently the robbers were or dered held 10 answer to the superior court on the strength of evidence giv- en by the poker players. Now comes the next step into the strange mys- teries of the law
 Las, week H. C. Davis. one of the alleged highway robbers, made com plete confession to M. l. McKilligan, assistant county prosecutor. in which he declared he was guilty of holding up the poker players, although it was a man named Callain and not Mey- CTS. who was with him at the time Callain escaped 10 Texas the day of the robbery.
 Davis also confessed to having trans pOIleu iGuOT TOT man named BrOOkS who is now under 5000 bonds in the superior court to answer charges 60 disposing of liquor. According to Mir. MchiliiSan. Davis would appear against Brooks, on condition he would be let off light The result is. Davis probably will be given a suspended sentence for robbery should he testi- fy agianst Brooks, according to Nc. killigan Meyers. he said, will be released as it has been esta blished he was not connected with the rob bery.

 GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL

PPHOENIX. Ariz.. March ls-An- other bill !assed at the recent session of the legislature has flashed into the limelight. and while it is awaiting the governors action is drawing to the gubernatorial desk flood of protests against its provisions The bill is the one which would place the nov ing picture finn industry under the corporation commission and one of the threats made by telegram today from Los Angeles was if the governor signed the measure the film produc- CTS would boycott Arizona. showing TO more Arizona scenes. Later ad- vices were received tha, a delegation of picture producers was on it's way rom the coast to explain their oppo- sition to ,he bill
 The piece of legislation which has raised this latest storm provides in the first place for the licensing of 4.I moving picture producers doing business in the state
 Another clause would give the cor pora;ion commission authority to send investigators into the home office. no matter where located Of any com pany operating in Arizona and thor oughly inspect and examine its affairs 70 ascertain its true financial con- dition." Film companies also would be required 70 file heavy bonds to maintain exchanges ir the state and make complete report of their oper- ations to the corporation comnfis- sion.
 The bill attracted very little atten- ton in the legislature l. was passed through the house. but at first failed in the senate Thereafter the upper chamber was bombarded with tele- grams from moving picture theater owners protesting against the killing of the bill. so it was revived, passed and now awaits the governors ac- tion.

ROAD BOND ISSUE TO aE UP TO PEOPLE.

Supervisor C. M. Roberts came over to Tombstone this morning from Bis bee. where last evening he attended a joint meeting of prominent citizens of Bisbee. and the community labor board relative to highway legislation and ways and means of raising more money with which to push road work in this county. The outcome of the meeting was that another session should be held in Tombstone on Tues day April sth for the purpose of hear ing residents of the county. as to proposed. what amount to be levied and where it should be spent. The supervisors have the option of call ing bond issue should they deem i, necessary under the law. but MT. Rob erts stated they wished to secure the views of the taxpayers before taking the necessary steps.
 He addressed the meeting in Bisbee last night. telling them in no small terms jus; what he thought Of the d feat of the proposed measure. father ed by himselm and prominent taXpay- CTS of the county. and planes in wig orours language the two Cochise sen ators. O'Neill and Hughes. Both these representatives. he states. threw ev cry obstacle possible in the path of the bill. finally succeeding in killing ;he measure. Had il not been for this a bond issue would not be neces- sary to take care of the unemployed in this county. since the money would have been raised by direct levy and the money would have been available immediately.
 -hi iNobVi tS hdI d4Ataus tAH4aAASN that machinery provided by recent legislative amendments to the high way commission bill of 1917. make possible .he raising of funds by bond issue within little more than a month.
 The resolution to the forest super visOrs was adopted following q report by w R Ashurst. federal employment agent, that fund of about 5000. 900 Is now available for forest reserve road work in this state and New Mex ico and that Cochise county is enti- lied to a certain amount of this fund for improvement of roads and con struction of new roads upon the res ervations.

 TUCSON. Ariz.. March 1s.-The vail- Benson road. additionally the Avenue des Bootleggaires. since Ari. zona went dry, will continue to be known as such only in an ironical sense. after w. C. Goetz, engineer of the county highway commission, gets through with the construction of that piece of road. known officially as the Vail-Bsnson section of the Borderland Highway.
 For. there are 26 curves in the first mile and half of the road as sur veyed,

 Yes. it is true the curves of the road will make it difficult for head long escapes by bootleggers." said Engineer Goetz-"but l am going to bank the curves."
 The vail-Benson highway as a whole is going to be afflicted with curvature of the spine from birth. and the curves will average from 10 to F per mile, according to the engineer. who explained that the reason was that the amount of money voted for the highway was not enough to en- able him to locate in a straigtaway. the road being curved around the heavy grades instead of cutting thru.
 The work of locating and surveying the sO-called Casa Grande highway. has been completed and construction work will be started as soon as righ;s-cf-way are obtained \ right of-way will have to be secured from the state land commission for con siderable part of the route. The starting Of the work, however. will not be held up in the meantime.
 The question of where the Vaii-Ben- son road shall eros sthe Southern Pa cific involves a difference of opinion as between the highway commission engineer and the Southern Pacific di- vision engineer.

Cuts Train Fares

Tt cuts to three cents per mile rates in this state which run from four to six cents,' said Jones' We have been making a fight against the rates discriminatory to Arizona for many months and a memorial prepar- ed by the commission on this subject and passed by the legislature arrived in Washington before the order was put into effect. It will materially re- duce travelling expenses to Los An- geles. Denver. Fl Paso and probably to Kansas City"
 Jones Makes Statement
 Commissioner Jones enumerated the different passenger fares which pre- vail in the state, against which the commission has been waging a steady battle.
 Out of Globe the rate now is five cents a mile," he said. "On the Grand Canyon hne it is six cents. East of Tucson the general rate is four cents. An idea Of the saving which this will effect for Arizonans who travel may be judged by the fact that the presen: fare to Los Angeles is $17.S5 and un- der the new schedule this will be re- duced to $13.50.
 Ibis certainly is the best news Ari- l zona has had for long time"
