Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Glaring Headlights

Tempe, Ariz., Aug. 12. The Arizona Republican:
 Your editorial in Tuesday mornings Republican, "Glaring Headlights is very appropriate and worthy of eonsid- eration but it should apply to the coun- ty in general as well as to the city of Phoenix
 The glaring headlight is a dangerous accessory of an automobile and laws should be made and enforced to pro- hibit the use of it. When glaring headlight strikes a driver of a car in the face he had better stop and wait until it passes. Otherwise he takes chances of having a collision with horse driven vehicle or killing person that might happen to be walking along the highway.
 Respectfully yours,
 A Subscriber and Automobile Driver
 (Note-Only the legislature can make it unlawful to use these dangerous headlights outside of cities and towns where there are municipal govern ments. but if the cities and towns should prohibit them, or even if the or dinarce of the city of Phoenix were enforced rigidly. that would have the effect of stopping the use of the head lights in the country as well, since every automobile in the valley at some time or other comes to the city It would certainly put a stop to the use of the headlights on the paved roads running into the ciry.)

Mary Bertha Noting

One of the saddest losses to
her neighbOrhood was the death
of Miss Mary Bertha Noting last
Sunday. The young woman had
been Ill of typhoid fever for sew
eral weeks and at times hopes
for her recovery were entertain
ed but during the last two or
three days before her death it
was evident she would not sur
vive the ravages on her strong
physical being made by the in.
sidious malady.
Mary Bertha Noting was born
south of Dalton Sept. 9, 1887,
and lived practically all her life
in that and the neighborhood
where her earthly existance end
ed. She was educated at Jor-
dan school and in 1904 united
with the Christian church under
the ministery of Rev. H. A.
Northcutt and was ever faith
full worker in the church being
organist at Jordan Sunday school
and a teacher in the Sunday
school at the church in this city.

Enormously Stated

In last weeks issue we stated
that the school of instruction
which is being conducted here
this week was under the direc-
ton of the Woman's Democratic
County Central Committee.
That statement was not cor
rect. After printing the pro-
gram which distinctly stated that
the school was to be and is,
strictly non-partican, we should
have corrected the item prev
iously written but we overlooked
it. The school is in charge of a
woman of national reputation; is
strictly non-partisan; is of value
to every woman who will attend
in that she may learn practical
civil government and much more
concerning politics than she
could in years by drifting along
with the tide of voters at elec-
tions.
Whether Democrat, Republi-
can Progressive, Moose or in
clined to the embryo 49," it
will be to your improvement to
attend the school.
