LAuDs cocHIsE COUNTY SUPERVISORS

County authorities have issued license to carnival company and it is understood that the outfit will show a lot djacent to the city line.
 The company is which has been here before, has carried nearly every sort of gambling device and forced by the municipal authorities to close its games when it operating South Stone avenue several years ago.
 These carnival companies make their money out of the games they operate The shows only run to draw the crowd and they generally poor shows at that The merchants and legitimate theatrical of the city entitled protection against these pirates and fortunately he city authorities have stood fast and refused let the carnival companies in After the county had grant ed license to this outfit they visited the Mayor and of fered to pay license of $50 day. saying that they would show right at the city line and the city might well have the money. The regular license is $1OO day.
 1t is guess that the company will have the old gambling games along and will continue to fleece the people they have done in the This newspaper has refused to accept any advertising from the outfit and thereby boost their game. They undesirable and should be kept out We think that the county authorities might have found to keep them out if they had tried very hard to do
 Cochse county supervisors have taken the bull by the horns and issued blanket order prohibiting all carnival companies from showing in the county. They have in strcted the sheriff enforce the order and is safe to predict that they will get away with it.
 Would that We had some county officials here with the same views the COchise supervsors.-IucsOn Citizen.

 How many women drop money loose into purse or handbag with the handkerchief leaving each to gather its harvest of unceannesS from the other!
 How many sick children sitting up in bed tossed coins to play with and to comfort them with the thought of spending joys and incidentally give and take dpthea and scarlet fever germs they handle the ey so soon to pass on else. How common is the practice of tying money up in the corner of hand kerchcf and then carrying the handkerchief and face!

We need give it sick children. or let well children put into their mouths.

Democratic legislature has put in good dea of its valuable time in digging hole for Governor Camp bell to fall into. The Governor not only fell ill the hole but pulled the hole in after him. We have patience with the Democrats who framed the road bill in such to invite veto and endanger the road program We haveno patience with the Governor who did not have vision enough to put the good of the state above partisan ship Between the two of them Yuma gets no highway. The people little who has charge of the road bdin% program the roads are built. While set idly by in our desert awaiting for another day unemployment in the state will likely increase there will be extra jobs for returned soldiers the legislators will return home to be pated the back by their admng constituents and the Governor will parade around the with his perennial smile and great white hat looking for the plaudits of the crowd Such is life in the great west We have almost reached the point where would like to say ''D-nl the Politicians
