fCIvIL SERVICE REFORM

Every time congress gets little anxious to do some"
thing that sounds like business aside from pickering
for political prestige, it drags out the old straw man,
civil service In their national platforms both parties
profess vrtuous attachment to the merit system In
1916 the Republican national platform insisted, with ev-
ery appearance of solemn eaestness that the civil SER
vice law "be thoroughly and honestly enforced" The
Democratic national platform with an equal air of SOL
emn eanestness highly resolved for the rigid enforce
lnent of the civil service law"
The War Prohibition bill exempts from the civil SER
vice law and rules persons authorized to issue per-
nits land agents and inspectors in the field service
To enforce the prohibition amendment will require
large number of officers. The bin itself appropriates
OOO enough for thousands of jobs and there
will be no lack of disposition in future Congresses to
make fatter appropriations and provide places for
the spolsmen. Here region where the old dis
credited, corrupt system of patronage may grow up
again.
Those who are familiar with the workings of prohi-
bition laws in certain States years know what pick
ngs for dishonest fingers what rich potentialtles OF
blacknail prohibition offers to the Immediately
charged with its enforcement In Massachusetts, for in
stance in the 7Os State constable would tap at the

States and enforcement of the prohibition amendment
is put INTO the fards OF pollIcal appo4ees ere eiei

ton TO yield big dividends to corruption Leaving cor

pudiated their own platforms civil service REFORM

THE PRINTED WORD.

Advertising is of the greatest forces in the world
Advertising has accomplished purposes which no Other
agency has been capable of doing.

conclusion through the printed message in the newspa

Think of the many millions of dollars that have been
PASSED along the aid of Uncle Sam and his great

and the balance by borrowing. But all the taxes
levied in the last fiscal year had been paid when the
accounts finally cast up it will probably be found
that nearly third the cost met by taxation
Probably THAT is the practicable limit though at he be-
ginning of the war good many theorists diff

cost OF four-year struggle, with scale of expendi

Nl REST F0R COYOTES
 GRIDIR0NERS DESPITE .0PEN DATE SATURDAY

There will be no letup in the train
 ing program for the Coyote football
 team this week notwithstanding the
 fact that game for Saturday has not
 yet been completed. Negotiations are
 still pending, however, for a game
 with the L. of A. second team.
 The high school players came out of the strenuous Indian game in good condition and are now directing their attention 10 the more important bat ties of the season.
 Although the score of Saturday s game at the Indian school field would indicate a rather one-sided victory for the high school this in fact, was not the case. In the first half, for ex- lample. the teams fought practically on
 even grounds, the Indians leading [ to 6 at the end of the first quarter | and the Coyotes 13 to [ at the half way mark. The game presages a | fierce struggle in the annual Thanks giving day clash.
 l Ward, fullback, who was injured 1T | the opening game against the higt school alumni, will be back in the line | up for the next game, whether it k | played Saturday or a week from Sat | turday Just what will be done witt
 McDevitt who has been holding dowr | the fullback job, has not yet been de- termined but it is realized that he is
 q valuable man on both the offenst and defense.
 Practice sessions have been sched

LONG REST HAS
 DUNE WONDERS
 FUR '. BROWN

Fresh from a string of victories over several prominent coast lightweights, which marked his re-entry after lay off of six weeks. Young Brown will start the final lap of his training program at the P. A. c. training headquarters on East Washington street this afternoon. The hour for his training has not been definitely set but will be decided some time this afternoon.
 After his last appearance in this city nearly nine weeks ago, Brown went into temporary retirement, seek ing seclusion from the boxing game in the mountains of California, where he enjoyed a long and much needed rest after Il consecutive months of active ring work. And Brown is prob ably one of the most active ring per formers in the game. One exhibition each week is the rule with him and he has been known to engage in four strenuous contests in two weeks.
 The long rest has worked wonders with Brown, as is evidenced by his recent showings in Los Angeles, where he has been returned the winner in three hard bouts.
 A big favorite in this city, his TO- round bout with Jake Stahl before the Phoenix Athletic club in Arcadia hal Friday evening gives promise of being an exceptional value. Browns ag- gressiveness and ability to assimilate

Benny Chavez and Nick Gundy. two of the best boys of their weight in the country. are scheduled for a 10-round bout tonight at the Alhambra arena. The show which the Union Athletic club has arranged consisting of 2S rounds of boxing, is one of the best cards arranged in Phoenix in some time.
 Chavez is a real boxer. He has been in the ring for some time and has fought the best boys of his weight, in cluding Champion Johnny Kilbane. He is in good condition, in far better con dition in fact than he was when he fought Ralph Lincoln at Tucson sev- eral weeks ago. The fact that Lincoln obtained a decision over him has weighed heavy on Bennys conscience and he is determined that he will wipe the stain from his record using Gundy as the means thereby
 Lincoln who was to have fought Chavez here has been under a physi- clans care for several days, but is planning on boxing the winner
 Heavy reservations have been made for the go tonight between Chavez and Gundy. Naturally the fans were dis appointed that Lincoln could not ful- fin his contract, but it was quickly realized that in Gundy the manage ment of the club had obtained an op- ponent for Chavez worthy of his mettle
 Arrangements have been made for autos to meet the Grand avenue cars at the fair grounds, and convey the crowds to the arena.
 The preliminaries for tonight's bouts appear unusually good. Although Ru- fus tho second is anything but a fin

punishment have won him hundreds of admirers in this city.
 Stahl, who is scheduled to furnish the opposition, is regarded as the best match ever arranged for the Mexican in this city. Recognized as one of the hardest hitters of his weight in the west, Stahl's ring work makes him @ dangerous opponent at all times. Jake is training hard for this match, en- gazing in hard workouts each after noon with Rufus Williams at the P. A. c. training quarters. He starts work at 3 o'clock sharp
 Kid Leyman and Frankie Monroe in a six-round semi-f1nal event are also expected to put up a high class exhibition of the manly art. Both boys are well known in this city and have sufficient calibre to make it semi final attraction on any boxing card.
