EOX'S TIEATER,

Pretty wives of handsome husbands employing stenographcrs are some times foolishly jealous. Sometimes they are right, but more often they arc wrong. IL will do these wives of such husbands good to witness tn" latest comedy drama starring the beautiful and accomplished Constance Talmadgc in the fast, snappE comedy drama, "A Temperam ental Wife," which opened at lFoX's thcatc1' this afternoon There is nothing in this play but good, wholesome dramatic comedy, dispensed by some of tho most accomplished actors in the silent drama. A hunting picture, two reels of good comedy, and News complete the photoplay bill. For vaudeville there are four acts, including Lock- heart and Leddy, The Rex Trio, Ford and Goodwin and Sharps and Flats.

NEW REASON FOR
 HIGH PRICE SHOES

In the September number of the Producer is quoted from the report of the federal trade commission, in which the causes for the present ex- travagant price of shoes were analysed and found to be due in most part, to reckless profiteering. One of the most recent subterfuges advanced by manu- lecturers and dealers is the duty lately levied by the Indian government on the export of hides. How poorly this new excuse holds water. says the Pro ducer,' is thus set forth in the New York Times"
 Plausible statements seem to he forthcoming whenever they are re- quired to reconcile consumers to pay ing more for the shoes they wear. At one time it is the alleged scarcity of hides; at another, it is the mounting labor cost; and so oh. Both the two causes mentioned have been worked overmuch, and neither seems to bear investigation. It is yet to be shown, to take only one instance, that the entire labor cost in a pair of shoes retailing at $14 amounts to as much as sl.15. Putting this aside. however, it Is worth calling attention to another circumstance which came up during the past week, and which was put for ward as something to justify higher prices for footwear. This was the re- ported action of the government of India putting a 15 per cent export duty on hides and skins, and allowing rebate on such as are consigned to Great Britain or British colonies to be there converted into leather. This ac- ton, 1t was asserted, would result in further scarcity of raw materials here, and would also tend to make 1t pos sible to produce leather cheaper in Canada than here. As to one of these matters. 1t is only necessary to say that. if Great Britain or her posses s!ons secure more hides and skins from India, 1t will not be necessary for them to take as much leather or articles made of leather from this country as has been the case. The shipments of cattle hides from India to this country have been negligible having been during the past fiscal year about 2,000,000 pounds out of a tota of nearly 254,000.0o0 pounds. Of calf skins, India sent during the perioC 2,S543S2 pounds out of a total of 20, 64S,425. Shipments of goatskins hay,
 been larger, having been nearly 42,. 100000 pounds out of a total of ove
 S9,000,000 pounds. But the averag, value of the latter was less than A. cents a pound. and the duty would only add 6.6 cents per pound to this which would cut no figure so far a. the price of a pair of shoes is con cerned.

TORREZ MUST HANG;
 Is AMERICAN CITIZEN
 IF MEXICAN BLOOD

Simplico Torrez, found guilty of murder by jury before Judge J. E. Jones of Coconino county, must be hanged. according to action of the supreme court yesterday when that court dismissed the appeal upon mo- tion of Attorney General Jones. There is nothing left for Torrez in the courts of the state to save him from the moose, and, should he hang, he will be the first to meet capital punishment since the people voted back that meth cd of execution in 1918.
 There has been A misunderstandin among the Mexican population as to the Torrez case.' the attorney general said, and that he wished to clear up the matter.
 'Torrez Is not a Mexican except in blood" he said. He is an American citizen, born in Arizona. His father was born in New Mexico and his grandfather was citizen of New Mex ico, and therefore an American citi- zen. Torrez was in prison until short time before he killed Deputy Sheriff ] Melick at Williams. We had per mitted him to go on parole. He killed the deputy May 31, last
 There has been considerable agita- | tion among Mexicans here. But the laws of this land are for the protec- tion of all, and if man is convicted in a murder case, whether he is a Amer | ican citizen or a citizen of Mexico, he should be man enough to take his medi- cine, regardless of his blood
 Now that Torrez is done with the supreme court he must be taken back to Coconino county to have the judge there set the time for his execution The judge, when sentence was pro nounced, set that day as October "A Prior to that date the Torrez case was appealed to the supreme court

TO TEACH ALL THE. BENEFITS IF THE CONST|TUT
That Is One of the Patriotic
 Purposes of the United
 Americans; Branch Now Being Formed in Arizona

The new organization known as the United Americans is probably not un- uerstood by everyone, and in order that erroneous ideas may not prevail as 70 Its purposes and operation, some tNplanation may be desirable.
 Primarily 1t is a patriotic organiza- uon. Its purpose is to promote and preserve the principles of democracy through bringing the American people o better appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of citizenship arris- nS under our form of government. In this connection a democracy is con sidered as partnership of citizens whose interests are not antagonistic, but mutual and interdependent
 In our complex industrial, social and civic life. 1t is necessary and desirable hat there be diversity of operation and consequently groups. But if we are to survive as a democratic people We must have unity of purpose, and putting aside our prejudces, meet on some common ground to solve the problems which confront the nation.
 Invite All Loyal Ones
 The United Americans without pre- Judice as 10 race. religion, political utilization, financial or social standing invites to membership every Ameri- can citizen who believes in a democratic form of government by representation and in upholding the constitution of the United States. provided, however no member is to officially represent any other organization.
 Article TIT of the constitution of the United States reads as follows united Americans shall have no part ha fv4a mr. .I,ls officials or otherwise in party politics.
 On the payment of sl any American citizen or any alien who has taker out first citizen papers may become g member by signing Article II, of tho constitution, which reads as follows; The purpose of the United Ameri- ans shall be to preserve the constitu- ton of the United States with tho representative form of government ana he right of individual possession whici the constitution provides; to stand firm Tor law and order; to foster among oul people high standards of individua and corporate conduct. and to advance The prosperity and happiness of al the people of the United States"
 Thoroughly Democratic
 The United American is itself thor oughly democratic in it's operation an, $ controlled by its members wh' possess' one vote each. and it is no likely that at the first election most c hose active in the formation of tn United American will be supercede' by others who are the choice of tn members.
 It would seem that every reasonabl safeguard has been utilized to proven he organization from being used fo selfish purposes, but faith is also re posed in the membership to deal wit such problems If any arise. The mott of every United American should Service not Self.
 The question now is, shall the Amer lean people unreservedly embrace an perpetuate the democracy for which S much blood has been shed, and merg their energies in a united effort, on basis of sympathetic understanding for the common good.
 The United Americans believe in thi doctrine, and seeks the cooperation ( every loyal American citizen.
