Where The People
 May Have a Hearing

Statement by Commissioner Peterson Editor, Arizona Republican:
 In support of my recommendation to the Water Users association for the purchase of cement plant and the man. ufacture of cement in the construction of roads. l will say that and my family own outright 390 acres of land under the Roosevelt project, and further, we purchase water for irrigation of every acre of this land from the Water Users association. I am interested in the building of roads to the extent of own ing this much property adjacent to the road program as outlined by the high way commission of which l am mem Der. Can anyone conceive of my being insincere in my declaration that the Water Users association should own and operate the cement plant for the benefit of the water users, aside from the saving that is apparent in construc- tion of the road program in Maricopa county? I believe that a canvass of the land owners of the county, under the Roosevelt project, will substantiate my claim to be a representative land owner and tax payer of the county.
 have given the feasibility of operat- ing a cement plant blythe Water Users association, a great deal of thought, which is supported by the recom- mendation, after thorough investiga- ton of the possibility of production of cement at very low cost in our coun- ty being made by an expert whose ability cannot be questioned by anyone who is sincere. This project, as well as any other industry that may be sug gested for the good of our community is meeting with the unqualified criti- cism of some citizens who are neither land owners nor representative tax | payers; who made no investigation themselves, nor have anybody capable of making such investigation, to make recommendations as to the machinery 1 on the present site of the cement plant or material for manufacture of cement in any of the deposits in the county who have had no experience with ce- ment machinery or cement material l but yet are loud in their denunciation of the practicability of the manufac- ture of cement in Maricopa county.

DOWN AND OUT KINGS

The cables tell us former King Constantine of Greece is broke and is trying to patch up sort of deal with Venzelos by which he may get some sort of allowance. Since he departed from Athens Constantine has been "grubstaked" by former Kaiser Wilhelm but the kaiser seems to be bit shy of money.
 Former King Nicholas of Montenegro is potter ing about Paris making touch" wherever he finds a charitable and affluent gentleman with sympathy for royalty in distress Nicholas deserves sym pathy He is the most aggravatingly bowlegged per son who a crown When he endeavors to walk north or south his legs act if they wished to take him east west
 Ex-Kaiser Carl of Austria Hungary not only is busted financially but matrimonally. He is in Switzerland sending out "S o. S." calls to persons with money who formerly kowtowed to him but now do not seem to hold him either in reverence esteem
 King Peter of Serbia broken in health and wretchedly poor is in sad He is in Greek village by the almost bedridden and with few creature comforts His son is acting regent. Peter still remains a king in but his country is wreck.
 These certainly parlous days for monarchs. Even Wilhelm Hohenzollern, who was to have ruled the world and upon whose temper the fates of tions depended, is too strong financially. He was the richest man in Europe few years ago. had B castles and personal income of millions year. Now he is endeavoring to make deal with the German republic by which he may get some sort of an allowance for himself and his tribe.
 Dukes have gone into the discard Princes are in poverty The world. far as those who were for tunes favorites by Divine Right is topsy turvy and destined to remain
 This is dstressfu state of affairs especially for the vast number of persons who worshipped at the feet of these puppets.
 But bad conditions for the mighty they for the literary persons who wrote novels about royalties and near royalties. The world is bankrupt far they concerned. Are we to nave no novels written about the lords of ton? Are to have crop of literary per who followed the lines of The Duchess Walter Scott Thackeray Ouda, Marion Crawford and the like who pointed moral adorned a tale with royal or lordly precept person?
 It looks if this not only has bankrlpted the world for royalty but for the writers of royalty rubbish

of gall we witnessed was that pulled off by an acquaintance of ours. Some time ago we read in a local paper an account of how he was about to take up new business venture. How he had fretted and worried with his old venture because he couldn't get into the service. And then how he had made elaborate preparations, wound up his business affairs and was just about to go into some sort of student reserve corps when the armistice was signed
 Too bad, too bad. He was like a thousand other fiery patriots who hadn't been able to break into the army for the long year and a half that we were fighting the Hun. And just when they had finally managed to begin to wedge themselves in, the inconsiderate yellow Germans ran up the white flag.
 Our acquaintance forgot, however to mention in the news story of his great disappointment (which. incidentally he wrote himself) that he had been certi- fled for military service by his local board, but that he had appealed to the district board for exemption on the ground of a dependent wife, and that his claim had been granted. The fact was that he and his wife had domestic difficulties prior to the action of the local board, which the board took into consideration, but matters were patched up between them in order to make his exemption claim stick The danger passed, they are now separated. This narrative were not worth the space it takes were it not for the fact that the incident is a typical one The i question is, are we now to permit the stacker to come from under cover and Haunt his yellowness in the face of the battle-scarred hero fresh from F7an- | ders fields?

] Learn Respect for Father Love As
 Well As Mother IoNe

Learn hespect TOT ather- Love AS
 We'll As Mother-Love
 Never had I known Daddy Lorimer to let his emotions go as he did in that hours discussion of Bob's case. There has been so much hysteria about motherlove the past few years that we seem to have forgotten the intensity of father-love, and it isn't fair l thought. as I regarded Daddy Lorimers troubled face. I wondered if our present indifference to father love isn't due to our modern tendency to over-p praise all things feminine even maternal affection.
 Three thousand years ago a great king walled for his son, slain in bat tie:
 Would God 1 had died for thee. o Absalom, my son, my son." Today every living father of a sol dier, dead, over there, has echoed that cry in his heart But how seldom do we refer to his sorrow, or balance 1t equal to the mothers,
 From Daddy Lorimer the war had taken ole precious son. Benjie the aviator; and although it had spared Bob's life, it had cut his soul in twain. Jim Jr. had finished his dangerous 1 career as an instructor of airplane pilots, still he staked his life daily as he toured the country making exhibi- tion flights for the Victory loan Daddy Lorimer never opened a tele- gram nor answered a call on a long distance phone without e conscious eff fort to be calm.
 He buried his fear in his heart-but it made him understand the heavy weight carried by all fathers of fight l ing men. For many reasons other than his millions, Daddy stood higt among the big men of the nation. He always wore jovial mask in public But as we talked about Bob saw for the first time that Daddy was very far from being the happy, pleasu c. loving person the public considered him.
 And it struck me that I must be z girl of rather limited capacity since had failed to perceive the tremendou. paternal anxiety which constantly har assed the Hon. James D. Lorimer.
 Certainly Daddy didn't have tt worry about the price of shoes, no the tax on ice cream sodas, nor tn, probable condition of the wool marke in 1920. but not even his great wealti could purchase immunity from thu great human griefs.
 l slipped my hand into his as w, planned how t) adjust the gears whici controlled Bob's mental processes Presently I was clinging to his hant tightly for quite another reason. / queer hoarse murmur of human voice swept up from the street and destroyet the quiet of the hotel parlor. It wa a sound new to me-and disturbing.
 Tommy got the meaning of it first.
 Its May day, sir." he exclaime rushing to the window. Its a riot There's lot of red flags down there sir"
 In a moment we were all at tn window and I, at least. was quite un able to distinguish friend from foe il the crowd which surged below.
 We were so absorbed in wa.chin the melee that neither Daddy nor thought of our own safety Blu Tommy thought for us. Suddenly W were pushed violently aside barely second before brick crashed througl the glass window where Daddv's hea had been.

OUR COLLEGE MAN

Any time you can hang enough on a college man or woman to send them to prison it makes a good news story. That's why The Republican reporter and the headwriter featured the '"col lege" end of local police story and shot it through with the following head: College Man Goes to State Prison"
 The body of the story. however, re- vealed the fact that the convicted man, at some time or another, went to some sort of a college flor a year" All of which brings to mind the popular re- frain "Oh. knew he was a sailor cause he wore a sailors hat
 Back in the neighborhood that is dear to our boyhood, the above news writer's interpretation of a college man would probably meet with instant ap- proval. The neighborhood is of a de- cidedly Hunnish complexion, being in the third German city in the world.''
 Mrs. Schultz, all decked out in her newly ironed white apron with big lace scallops across the bottom and the strings being tied in big angular bows, coming from the market with her basketful. meets up with Mrs Baum who moved from the old neighborhood some time prior. After the usual ex- change of "Guten Tag the dialecti- cal dialogue goes something like this -Und howse Willie und Annie? -Ach Mrs. Schultz, you shouldt see him-my Villie Va, wohl, Va Hat gratchated from school not long und hat schon longk pants now.

 -Ye Gods, But as the vulgar would have it. he hath said a mouth ful. Albeit. as I recall it, Dave John son. who is Bett's sidekick on the commish is but recently returned from pilgrimage to the east and gave it out that the climate there was hell. Now then. sirrah, is it within the scope of your reckoning why Amos didn't profit by Dave's advice and stay his visit in the east?
