RIVAL CHIEFS IN STEEL STRIKE

John Fitzpatrick, union organizer for the steel workers, and Ebert H. Gary, chairman U- s. Steel corporation board of directors, both are Illinois men.
 There, however, the similarity ends. Fitzpatrick is horseshoer by trade; Gary is a lawyer by profession
 Fitzpatrick is poor; Gary is rich.
 Fitzpatrick is the younger man.
 Gary has been successful in politics; he was elected mayor and county judge at Wheaton, H., before he quit politics for law and business.
 Fitzpatrick has been unsuccessful in politics, if winning at the polls is suc- cess, for he was defeated last year when he ran for mayor on the newly formed Labor Party ticket
 Gary drank at the font of knowledge in schools, colleges, and law offices.
 Fitzpatrick acquired his learning mostly at the forge and attending la bor meetings.
 Gary. as an orator, deals in facts, figures, logic and the law as it is writ ten.
 Fitzpatrick, too, is an orator, one who deals with things of the heart, and the stomach, the dinner pail and the right of every man to have a nice lit- tie home of his own.
 Gary wasn't satisfied with law, al- though he was the highest income earning lawyer in Chicago, and became president of the Federal Steel con- pany, which afterwards was included in the J. s. Steel corporation.
 Fitzpatrick didn't stick to the forge. although at one time he was one of the best blacksmiths in Chicago and be- came president of the Chicago Fedora tion of Labor.
 Gary is a LL.B., LID. and Sc.D., which indicates that he is a man of much learning.
 Fitzpatrick is plan ''F'itz'' to every Chicago workingrnan, which indicates that they think VI ell of him.

M 'MANUS SHOWS REAL CLASS IN
 FIRST WORKOUT

II Al McManus shows just half as well In the ring of the Phoenix Athletic cluD In Arcadia hall next Friday eve ming against Ralph DeMott as he did Tn his training workout at the P A. c. training quarters on East Washington street last evening, then the soldier Dattler is going to have his hands full holding his own.
 McManus is probably the prettiest lightweight performer who has yet ap- peared in this city. Of course, grace and cleverness do not win boxing matches, but from a standpoint of something good for the eyes," the Iueson boy has got big edge on any or the other boys who have shown themselves hereabouts.
 In the first place, he's like a flash, dancing around, blocking, jabbing, sldestepping, uppercutting, hooking, crossing, covering and then just repeat Ing the same performance He's one Of those freaks who goes at top speed rom bell to bell never giving his op- ponent an opportunity to rest or to set himself.
 He has that faculty for hitting from any position an advantage claimed by few ring performers-with a result that he is able to land almost at will. And he can hit too, as he evidenced in his workout yesterday afternoon against much heavier opponents.
 The McManus- DeMott engagement gives promise of being an affair of more than passing interest. In the first place, DeMott has long been endeav- bring to get Al into the same 20-foot squared circle with him and the fact that the Tucson boy has heretofore re- fused to meet him has not increased DeMott's loving" attitude toward his Friday night opponent.
 DeMott, who was Kid Palmer's chief second in the latter's engagement with Johnny Celfhars here last Friday eve ming, was obliged to return to Douglas, where he is stationed with the 18th in fantry, before starting his training here. However, DeMott has been work ing with Palmer for the past several weeks and is said by his manager to be in fine physical trim. He is expect ed to reach Phoenix this evening and will do his training, starting Tuesday afternoon, at the P. A. c. training quar- ters. The hours for his workouts will be announced later.
 McManus will work out each after noon at o'clock.

All business in the city was suspended for the day and the evening was turned into a carnival of fun in which the 25,O00 men of the first and thousands of others joined.
 D Through the courtesy of Congress- man Hayden, Mr. Marks attended the joint session of congress called to honor General Pershing. On this oc- casion, the generals response to the eloquent words of praise from Speaker Gillette, Senator Cummins and Ex- Speaker Champ Clark was a fitting tribute to the many agencies which brought victory to American arms. At the conclusion of his short speech, which he read from manuscript, the entIle assembly rose and cheered.
 Whiie in Washington, MT. Marks at tended to some legal business and re- ports that he found Congressman Hayden faithfully at his post and ever ready to aid citizen of Arizona.
 A trip to Washing would hardly be complete without a visit to Mount Ve,- l.ol and visit to this national shrine was made by MT. and Mrs. Marks From Washington they returned tc Chicago for a short stay, where they were joined by their sons and started for home Monday last, but were de- layed on account of the wreck which occurred Tuesday near Lamy, New Mexico, and in which nearly a score of persons were injured.
 The outstanding thing which i'm pressed him on this trip, according to MT. Marks, was the collosal ignor. ance of the average customer regard ing Arizona, it's people and it's re sources. The only impression man! of them have of the state is tha gained from the yellow movies.
 "A movement should be started tt compel at once the moving pictur people to properly label these picture! of the west which they exhibit, for al they now exist, they do incalculabl, harm said MT. Marks. But nor than this, the east should be educate, as to the real Arizona. It would meal a great influx of population.

None, could not be more wisely spent thai in legitimate advertising of Arizona resources, climatic and otherwise. Thi would bring large and immediate re turns" .........

WHERE ARE THE 75-MlLE GUNS?
 LcninrAifin ArunrinnnA

IT we remember rightly, among the terms of the armistice was one demand ing that the Germans hand over to the allies the 75-mile guns with which they bombarded Paris.
 So far as the public records go none of these pieces has, as yet, been de- livered, and we are inclined to think that they shared. the fate of the cap- tured German flags, which, with char acteristic want of good faith, were pub Iicly burned by German officers on the Inter den Linden, Berlin. The so- called Big Berthas," the dismantled foundations of which were found by our troops during the German debacle, are not these weapons, but were pieces of 15 or 16-inch caliber of considerably less range.

On a little hillock there stood a tall
bare pine tree. The branches stood
out like arms and stretched out on
either side and had marks and gouges
on its sides. Cousin Bruin examined
the lower part Of the tree for several
minutes; Jimmy Coon stood on his
little bird legs and smelled all over the
bare trunk Of the tree. and then said
TO Teddy Possum, Cousin Bruin Is
sick or crazy. He has eaten all that
stuff from the mans board and 1t has

Teddy Postum shook his head sadly,
and said he had heard there was such
thing as hydrophobia. and Of course
that is just what must be the matter
with Cousin BrIin. for he rolled his
head around and shuffled around the
tree on all sides and snuffed the air.
Soon Cousin Bruin rose on his hind
legs, embraced the trunk with his fore
legs. and scratched the bark with his
claws and teeth for several minutes.
His jaws cIashed against each other,
until a mass of foam ran down both
sides of his mouth.

TAX EXEMPTIONS.
IBurlinRton Hawkeye.l


In tho history OF taxation In the
United states there are frequent cur
ious personal records. as related to ex-
emptions. The following appears in
the archives OF a New England town
settled 277 years ago;

able to do nothing.

To this day, and for all DAYS and
years To come, where there Is taxation
there is and must he personal exemp-'
tions "a phase of sociology that re-
veals human necessities and human
necessities and human sympathy. That
kind Of tax emption is TO be classified
with deeds of benevolence and charity
and not with the tax dodger.
The parents of Jesus went up 10
Bethlehem TO pay taxes, Matthew. the
Jewish collector records the fact that
Jesus paid personal tax. He did not
ask TO be exempt. He set an example
of duty to the state. He admonished
the citizens of Judea to render unto
Caesar the things that were Caesar's-
tribute money. or taxes, Jesus taught a
sound political economy. He upheld the
functions of government and at the
same time inculcated sentiments OF
sympathy. beenvolence and helpful
ness. He was neither a tax-evader nor
a bolshevist, He was the greatest and
noblest TEACHER of the brotherhood Of
man.

SORRY. BUT THEY CAN'T HANG LEGALLY.

The American delegation dissents
from the proposal OF allied nations 10
try the kaiser before a tribunal Of ma
tons for the crime of bringing on the
war and the manner in which 1t was
waged. They argue that the crime OF
beginning the war was moral and not
legal and that this phase Of the guilt
of the most monstrous criminal of MS
age is punishable by holding its per-
petrator up to the execration of the
world"
However well founded in law and pre-
cedent the dissenting argument may
be It will bring mucn appointment
to millions OF Americans who HaHt TO
see William Hollen zolleyn hanged on
gallows with a fringe Of his chief
conspirators and heuchr1en dancing

is unthroned he and the nation that
followed blindly stand in the blazing
execration Of the world but the aver
age human being on this side Of the
water would like to have the man
hanged. EXecration does not seom to
bring repentance either from the arcl,
criminal or from the people who will

II ts not improbable, If left to them
selves, that the leaders and the peo-
ple'of Germany would re -csta blish the
Hohenzollerps again within a month.
Execration lacks reformatory force.
AS proposition in law the Ameri-
can delegation is probably correct in
its attitude. There is no precedent for
such procedure. Previous to the estab-
lshment of the espionage law Victor
Berger and those OF his ilk might

poses under penalty of "execration" for
their moral treason. Lack Of law
protected them. Perhaps there is nc

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Robert Peary,
NAY 6. 1856.
IS IT YOURS?

Robert Peary, discoverer of the
North Pole, vas born in Cresson.
Penn, and after studying engineering
became a lieutenant in the United
states navy. When he was 80 years
old ne got Leave for a summer vaca
ton in Disco Bay, on the west coast of
Greenland, and v lille there took long
journey into the interior. This trip
convinced him that a practical route
to the pole led thru this region.
Five years later he organized his
first expedition; a party of seven
which included his wife, the first white
woman to accompany an Arctic eN-
ploring party. This trip did nothing
ont establish the fact that Greenland
was an island. Two year later Peary
led another expedition north. This
time his daughter was born, at the
fartherst northern point q white child
was ever born.
Another more elaborte expedition
took place in the specially fitted up
vessel. the Roosevelt. but did not
succeed in quite reaching the pole.
In 1908 the final successful trip was
made in the Roosevelt, with a final
dash in sledges. One by one members
of the party were sent back as sup
plies diminished. At the end OF a
month the last man was turned back,
and Peary and his negro servant Hen
SON who had always accompanied
him, and four Eskimos, finally
reached the North Pole-on the 9Th OF
April. 1909. 1t was September be-
fore the party reached a point where
the news could be sent out to the
world. 1t created a tremendous SEN
sation, especially as Cooke had Just
announced his claim to the discovery
a claim later generally accepted as
having been false.
