ABJECT APOLOGY

The editor and the business manager of our i1lustrious and esteemed contem- oprary, The Arizona Republican, ask us to apologize to their readers and advertisers for the bum showing they make in the columns to the left and the right, and all around us this morning.
 We gladly do so.
 The reason for the poor showing is that all the hired hands were kept from their usual daily vacations of getting out the paper, by numerous and sundry phone calls from subscribers and advertisers inquiring as to the whereabouts of the Cancels Back, which was supposed to hump it's way across the desert for the readers yes- terday. Had we known it would have caused such a disruption of Phoenix and Arizona's daily program, we should have bent every effort to make the desert COW hump on time. AS it was, we bent only few of our efforts and them not very badly. (Now, if any h. s. graduate thinks he's ready to conquer the world, let him parse that last sentence and send us the answer.)
 The fact is that we got hung up," that big pow-wow at the @Y" stadium last night, concerning the new b. b. park. Wasn't you there? My dear, it was simply grand! Don't miss the next one

Der or official of any of the present ball teams shall serve on the plan com mittee, but they will be asked and in vited to make whatever suggestions they see fit to make.
 More Free Speech
 One man who spoke said, '1 think the trouble with our baseball in Phoe nix has been due to the fact that some managers and players went on the theory that we fans come out to the game to see them act personally. What we want is some good ball games and clean-cut playing What I say is, let em all get out on the diamond and show us what they're good for and we'll judge who is the best player or manager, or which is the best team by article of ball playing they put up. I think the sport writers have been somewhat responsible. The team that has been blown up the most in this town by the sport writers or press agents has, in my opinion as a fan, been one of the poorest. They go out representing this town. and all they bring back is an alibi as to why they lost. Cut out the small town stuff and let's have baseball in this town. Judge the teams on merit and not on Senti- ment"
 Another man said he guessed he wasn't alone in believing that the lack of ball park so located that you didn't have to own an auto or permit yourself to be robbed by jitney busses was the cause of seeming lack of in- terest in Phoenix baseball.
 Watch For It, Phoenix!
 It was suggested that the plan com mittee take the matter up with the city commission for cooperation, but not with the idea of leaving it to the city fathers alone. Another suggestion was to have the committee advertise for bids from property owners who think they have suitable sites for such an athletic field in or right on the out skirts of Phoenix, to see just what the best locations are and what a lease will cost. On the matter of funds, world beating tag day for Phoenix ball park was suggested All of these things the committee will work out.
 According to a motion carried, the committee will meet next week, and. both daily papers have promised to give comprehensive account of the proceedings.

It will probably be difficult for the Chicago Tribune to prove that Henry Ford is anarchist or was three years ago when the Tribune editor ially declared him to be one But it appears that counsel for MT. Ford relying greatly upon the intelligence of the jury when they try charge against their client by showing that Tribune o-German manifested inclinations in that direction.
 It is not sufficient to say that MT. Ford op- posed to with Mexico. It not for that that the Tribune denounced him as an anarchist. There many excellent citizens who did not want a with Mexico. but there were many others, the Tribune among them who beleved in 1916 and yet believe that such is inevitable.
 Also it is a laughably foolish assumption of the prosecution that the Tribune favored Mexican war because it believed that that would so cripple the United States that it could take part in the world war. It is to be remembered that in the mid summer if 1916 when the offending editorial written there prospect of participation in the world except in the of the election of MT.

geon in his queer disguise.
 Certeis was absorbed in his own plans, otherwise I am sure he must have observed that the legs of the divers suit were not as flat as usual. He was knotting some leaflets in a bandana-they suggested the bolshevik papers I had found in the files. Was it to distribute such stuff that the debonair doctor assumed the garb of poverty?
 I doubted it. once he had spoken to me of "a plot to catch plotters." AS he busted himself with his papers I thought of the phrase "a thief to catcs. a thief" Certeis ruled his subor- dinates with an iron will; nevertheless, he might have to do his own spying, sometimes to test their loyalty. That theory would partially account for the strange assortment of costumes which the closet held.
 But it was not to track his people that he changed his clothes the morn ing after a girl had tricked him and fled from him. He was off to find the girl!
 | "Oh la! la!" thought and then all of my thinking processes were numbed I saw Certeis lean over and turn bacs the end of the rug on the closet floor then he lifted up an ordinary trar door and disappeared down a ladder closing the trap behind him! 1 had come close to a collapse, fol he had brushed me, had touched me at the very moment of descending But my very best brand of courage came back as soon as the danger wal over, in quite human way. I climbed out of the divers suit and gave it a loving pat. And
 whispered to it:
 "Old dear, I'm going to have very busy morning!"

Uncle Sam, Retired Money Lender

It is reported that certain foreign governments have made diplomatic approaches relating to an- other government loan It is also reported that leaders in congress have stated as dplomatically that there is mot chance in the world" that the government as money lender has retired from business and will not resume until there is another world war. National borrowers have been advised to make application to American bankers or other private persons with ready cash
 It is not at all likely that another government loan for the purpose of loaning to another nation however friendly would meet with favorable popular response. The people subscribed liberally to war loans and to a loan for finishing the war. Many of them subscribed until it hurt They yielded to an appeal to patriotism. Such an appeal could not be made to them in behalf of any other nation

lures Come Fast
 Acting immediately on my impulse, I started to pull myself over the stiff belt of the divers suit. It was early morning-the clock on the mantel in my room was chiming five. I pre- pared to dress very quietly, then go downstairs and send a servant for Dr. Certeis Then I would trade my knowl- edge of where the gems were sunk for my freedoml And I would make a pact which would forever restrain Certeis from following me.
 It was a very good plan and think it would have worked well but-as started to climb out of the rubber gar ment, I heard the key click in the lock of the closet door.
 My heart stood still Clad as was, I couldn't expect to exact adyan- tageous terms from the man who had threatened me at midnight!
 Fright paralyzed me, and perhaps saved me from disaster!
 My eyes were fixed in terror on the door, but all that I saw was a hand and an arm which reached and grabbed up the suit case which stood in the corner. It was the suit case nad opened the nlgnJ CT the Ilre-tne one which had awakened old memor- ies of Bob's jealousy, the suit case which contained one complete outfit for banana peddler!
 The hand withdrew this precious piece of luggage, leaving the dotr partly open ,as if it were to be used again. I shrunk up into what seemed half my normal size and slumped back 1 into my hiding place.
 Something important was going to happen, but I didn't have a very de- l sirable post of observation. The door was swung at a small angle; I could see only a strip of the wall paper in 1 Certeis room, however, I could hear his man come and go, and soon the pleasing aroma of coffee floated my way.
 And the clock had not struck six when the closet door was flung wide and with half an eye beheld jaunty swarthy fruit vendor! Daddy LOT l inner, acute man of business and best friend of Hamilton Certeis, would never have discovered the famous sur

A taboo was put on prayers that in- struct God what to do and burden Him with opportunities for things that benefit the petitioner in material way, by the Rev. Dr. Henry Falconer of Baltimore, one of the most widely known Presbyterian evangelists of the United States, in opening a ten-day evangelistic campaign at Detroit.
 There is too much of the noise of the world in our prayers; too much of formal dramatic staging of prayer said Doctor F'alconer.

 An up-to date paper is supposed to have comic section, and it is always advisable to supply an antidote, so would run a pathetic section too.
 You can very easily obtain both by saving the advertising section of your contemporary, the Arizona Republican. If tomorrow's issue is as rich as last Sundays was, it certainly will be a source of supreme joy to the reader, and of poignant sorrow for the ad- vertiser.
 I will give two samples in support of my claims: A fellow named Duncan is trying to locate his relations, and advertised that his brothers son was supposed to be a cook in some western mining camp. The compositor changed cook" to crook" Another man had a five room house for rent and stated it was a good place for COW and chickens. That humorous compositor got busy again and changed 'cow" to sow
