DREW DOWN THE BAIL

1t will be recalled that some time
ago Sheriff Earhart captured a man
named Pruitt who was transporting
booze, contrary to the law made and
provided. On preliminary examina-
ton the accused was held for trial
and put up cash bond of $3.50. Then
he was arrested later upon a federal
charge. He could not put up any
more bail on that charge, SO had to
suffer incarceration anyhow. The
money he had put up was wired him
by friend in Winkleman. Realiz-
ing that he was tied up anyhow, as
securely as the law could wish Pruitt
opined that his Winkleman frienG
should have returned to him the cash
that his altruistic nature had prompt
ed him to put up to a friend in dis
tees, so the court was requested 81
permit withdrawal of the cash bail,

to the sheriff (who had him in Gus
tody as a federal boarder), and the

ORATORS OF NOTE Will TOUR COUNTRY

NEW YORK, May 17.-World-wide
prohibition is the next number on the
dry programme, the Anti Saloon
League of America claiming that just
as the moral forces of this country
have lined up behind the prohibition
amendment, sos the moral forces of
the world are lining up for the utter
extermination of John Barleycorn.
Two demonstrations in which ma
tional and international leaders are
taking part are scheduled. One is to
begin in New York City tomorrow
and the other will be held in Wash
ington, D. c., June A. The Anti-Sa-
loon League of America will hold its
nineteenth annual convention at
Washington in connection with the
latter demonstration and it will spon-
sor the first international conference
on prohibition to be held there on
June 7. Fifty foreign countries, it is
stated, will be represented at the in
ternational gathering.
Local prohibition leaders offered to
take these delegates on countrywide
tours, showing them sixty Of the big
gest cities in America many Of them
now under self-inficted prohibition.
They also offered to show them the
contrast between wet and dry Ameri-
ca before prohibition should go into

selves the economic and social effects.
of the reform. These invitations were
accepted by representatives of fifty
countries whose temperance workers
are eager to get clear and compre-
hensive idea of the working of pro-
hibition. 1t is because of this that
the circuit tours will be stressed dur
ing prohibition demonstration, which
will close with the international con-
ference.
Speakers of national note will ac-
company the foreign delegates.
The speakers and delegates will be
divided into groups. All the tourists
will meet at Washington on June a.
where the Anti-Saloon League of
America will hold a three-day con-
vention. Following this the first in
ternational conference of prohibition
will be called.

FORCESDAUCHTER
TO STEAL, But
INSISTS She
WAR THE LOOT

CHICAGO, May 17.-But slightly
past thirteen-but an expert shop
lifter-stealing at the direction OF
and under the "watchful eye" of her
mother.
This startling situation was
brought to light recently when Ma
mie Levandiwsh was brought before
Judge Victor Arnold, in the Juvenile
Court.
The child, shabbily dressed, got
none of the benefits of her stealing.
The mother and neighbor woman
dressed themselves in the finery the
child was accused of stealing. The
mother appeared in court well dres-
sed and prosperous looking, in strik-
ing contrast to the woe-begone ap-
pearance of her child.
"Some mothers tell their little girls
to do the right thing, show them the
way they should go in this world,
while others tell and teacl their
daughters to go wrong!" said Judge
Arnold. "You can't help it, Mamie.
You didn't know better, did you." he
continued, and finally won the story
from the child.
Both women, the mother and the
neighbor, blamed it on the child. The
detective from the store where the
goods were taken declared the child
had been watched and had never
taken a thing until either the mother
or the other woman pointed out the
article to be stolen.
'I watched the child" the detective
testified, "and she did not even touch
the goods, like other children are in
the habit of doing. The mother or the
other woman would pick up dress
or a waist, then point at it. That was
the signal for the child to steal it.
The women would then pass on a
short distance from the counter, and
the child would put the designated
article into a long bag she carried.
At the time of their arrest the women
were wearing $50 worth of stolen
finery."
"a girl has no chance with parents
like you," Judge Arnold told the
mother. "Children should not be al
lowed to live under the same roof
with women such as you. That child
deserves a chance in the world, and
she is going to get it."
The child was taken to "home,
where she will get her chance to live.

SHIMMY SHOOK
BEFORE COURT TO
PROVE MORALITY

SALEM, Mass, May Ills it i'm
moral to "shake shin1ny?" Are the
devotees of the newest of the new
jazz dances guilty of an immoral
dance when they perform it.
The Watch and Ward Society says
"les" to both questions. Joseph
Cnoulrard, proprietor cf a lance
hall at Beverly, says "No."
Judge Sears, of Salem, acted as a
court of last resort. The "shimmy''
was danced before him in court. The
judge will decide whether the "shim-
my" is to go down in terpsichorean
history with the fox trot, the one step
and other perfectly proper "jazzes," !"
or whether it is to be tabood in good
society.
Chouinard was arrested at Beverly
for conducting an improper dance
hall"

THE ARIZONA LABOR JOURNAL

The editor of this column received
yesterday a copy of the Arizona La
Dor Journal, of Phoenix, published by
the Arizona State Federation of La
Dor, which consisted of six parts, all
told forty pages. The paper is filled
with interesting labor and other news
pertaining to the working man not
only of this great State but from all
over the world. The paper is a Gre
dit to the Federation and the man
agement deserves praise and is a
great piece of work of the printing
profession. Merchants from nearly
every town and city of the State con-
tributed to help make the edition as
great as it is with their advertise
ments and the merchants of Nogales
contributed over four hundred inches
of single column space which is a
credit to the local merchants who un-
doubtedly appreciate the trade of the
union men. The local Chamber Of
Commerce contributed two articles
about Nogales.

g. 5OO NOT ENOIJGH

A years study by the United States
Department of Labor Of living condi-
tions in this country shows that sal
aried family men of the $2,500 class
or less find saving difficult. Accord
ing to the tabulations many families
can show a surplus of only $50 at the
end of the year and that most show
a deficit. Meanwhile the cost of liv-
ing continues to soar.
The investigation shows that ap-
proimately 20 per cent of the total
income is all that the average fam
lily" has left after making necessary
expenditures for food, clothing, rent,
light, heat and furniture. Out of this
20 per cent surplus must come all
costs of medical attendance, amuse-
ments, entertainments, donations to
churches, education and miscellaneous
expenses.

President Wilson has cabled Sec

important achievements of the new
day in which the interests of labor
are to be Systematically and intelli-
gently safeguarded and promoted"
The message was made public at
the White House and reads as fol-
lows:
"Thelabor program which the con-
ference of peace has adopted as part
of the treaty of peace constitutes one
of the most important achievements
Of the new day in which the interests
of labor are to be Systematically and
intelligently safeguarded and promot-
ed. Amidst the multitude of other
interests thisS great step forward is
apt to be overlooked and yet no other
single thing that has been done will
help more to stabilize conditions of
labor throughout the world and ulti-
mately relieve the unhappy conditions
which in too many places have pre-
vailed. Personally I regard this as
one of the most gratifying achieve
ments of the conference"
