Even prohibition has been charged with having con- tributed to the high of living and those who make the charge it in this way: They say that in all the modsh restaurants of New York Chicago and elsewhere in the country where formerly liquor was served at considerable profit the proprietors are holding out for the profits they would have made but for prohibition by charging exhorbitant prices for

wooDMEN OF THE WORLD

Woodmen were somewhat handi- capped at our last meeting inasmuch as we had to play love in the dark It was our first night in the new odd Fellows building, and owing to an oversight on someone's part we had no light and therefore were left to resort to the old candIestick. But like our forefathers we seem to gather in spiration from the sturdy glow of tal- low candles and many and elouuent were the speeches that were heard.
 Our faithful council commander was very hard pressed to tell who was speaking and who was standing ready to speak. But all in all we had a very profitable meeting and proved that the Woodman cannot be discoura ged hx, a little thing like lack of light.
 Remember it is your loss if you are not attending the meeting. We are in new hall, have new surroundings and are as full Of new ideas as 2 cat is full Ii fleas. So come out and pat in the game. We meet now in fha Od. re reilows building at the corner of ihird avenue and Adams street. Meet lngs every Monday night as ,Isua1 ana all visiting sovereigns welcomed

George Walsh made ''The Beast the picture which starts its engagement at the Hip this morning. and it was re- viewed as one of the most unique of this boys offerings, an dat the same time one of the most gripping and powerful dramas possible to produce.
 It tells. a story of a mans regenera- tion but through a medium not often used in dramas of this sort. George Walsh smiling and athletic, is starred the role of Del Burton, an Arizona rancher in the days when the cowboy was the king and his kingdom com prised the va stness of the desert dis tances and the mountain silence.

The New York Socialists

 We may not have great respect for the wisdom of socialists. They dreaners of a beautiful dream but in this country is the laws dream dreams and there is nothing in dreaming the dreamer from holding office which the peo- pie have elected him.
 There socialists and socialists. many them ranging from anarchists upward. They con- template radical change form of government but they would bring about the change in various ways. The anarchist would accomplish it by violence while the socialist. that is. socialists New York members appear O De would accomplish it by bringing majority of people their way of thinking That is. they propose only orderly and constitutional plan The constitution does not pro- hbit the search after perpetual for method for transmitting base metals into gold, provided searcher does violate while conducting his inquiry It does not appear legislators who have sbeen fighting for their seats have been guilty the violation O any law

The Market Price of a Husba nd

The day a young at Evansville In- diana, brought suit against another town for S500000 because he would not marry her after having promised do course that sum any she may court will be under stood to be in lieu of the husband did not get and whatever sum may be awarded her will be the jury's estimate of the value the defendant as a husband.
 Some think that indefinite part of the may regarded as intended to reimburse the young woman for the humiliation disappointment she suffered consequence failure of the defendant to out his agreement But in ac- tons for damages for failure specific there is usually taken into the which the plaintiff has been materially damaged
 For instance, if had contracted to sell an- other horse worth s10o had afterward changed his mind refused contract it would be preposterous for the aggrieved person to claim damages the s10000 or any other ex- travagant sum.
 In this Evansville case, think that the jury might take into consideration kind of a husband the defendant would have been if the plaintiff succeeded in landing him. The jury might well con- clude that who would lie to a woman about so important matter marriage would be below par as a. husband and would give award accord ingy.
 Some time ago, before filing of this action a New York woman propounded the inquiry How is a husband worth to any woman?" 1t is not an easy question to answer There are axact market quotations husbands as one may find in the produce market, the stock exchange or the board of trade. The husband a commodity But now and then some incident arises like this Evansville case that tends in specific instances to throw some light the subject
 Not great while ago a woman at Des Moines Iowa, offered husband for the trflng sum of $5000 But the price really indicate the real value of the husband. was a sort of a bar gain counter offer, for as the an attor- ney I don't want him any more, I sell him."

THICK soLEs THE COP

'"Thick-soles the Cop is comingi" The wild alarm went humming
 From lip to lip and ear to ear And every urchin vaulted The nearest fence, nor halted
 To face the nameless fear. Through streets and lanes and alleys We dashed in sudden sallies,
 Or crouched atop of sheds and barns We hid shining faces In darkened hooks and places.
 In pits" and "n1eres" and 'tarns.' Nay nay, thou reading mortal, Vent not thy scornful ehortle
 At cryptic terms thou dost not know; We, too, knew not their nature, But took that nomenclature
 From Edgar Allen Poe. We lay along the edges And wormed through thorny hedges.
 And ran again, nor dared to stop, For still with breath abated The words came, error-frightened,
 Thick -soles Thick -soles, the Cop." What was the crime Which caused our guilty terror
 As on our feathered heels we flew? Nay, ask not that disclosure; I VOW, by cross and crosier
 We never really knew Poor Thick -soies was an omen, A grim and ghastly foelnan An ogre, who, had we but known, Was probably mellow And simple soued good fellow,
 With children of his own. How oft in life we've frozen With some false fear, and chosen
 To fly some shadow till we drop, And with our white lips daunted And souls all horror haunted,
 We've cried, '-Thick-soles the Cop,"

Security Benefit association extends welcome to members and invited friends.
 One of the finest entertainments ever held by the order was given on Thursday evening at the K of P. hall to some 300 members and friends State Manager II. C. Wolfsen opened the evening with a well chosen address of welcome, and in most pleasing and interesting manner gave a brief history of the order and the work it has done and is doing for mankind. The~~order is now entering it's 29th year of the most, successful operation of any order ever founded being the first order to admit women on an equality with men, also the first re- serve order ever founded, and the wis dom of their early policy was demon strated in the fact that at no time have the members ever been called on in any way to make extra contribu- tions and that we today meet the legal requirements of every state in the Union and that we also provide pro- lection in almost any form that may be asked for well as homes for the orphans left by our members. The aged and hospitals for our sick are now under constr- ction and all of these are without extra cost to our members, also are the pioneer founders of juvenile protection in the fraternal field and with that beautiful admonition to all that you reap just what you SOW.
 Brother Wolfsen introduced Harry Lauder No. ?, Brother Pat Smith. who appeared in his full regalia of the gen uine Scotch Highlander, when to the pleasure of all that heard him he sang "I Love a Lassie,' also that most inn pressive of songs -Four Little Fingers and a)Thumb" You will always find 1 Brother Smith on hand to make life pleasant for others.
 Mrs James Blain then rendered some beautiful solos that were enjoyed 1 by all. Mrs. Biain is one of Phoenix's most cultured ladies and it is always a pleasure to have her present as she enjoys making others happy. Brother Wolfsen then announced that the eve ming was turned over for all to enjoy themselves.
 District Deputy r. J. Mason then ao- nounced that the entertainment com mittee had a nice banquet prepared and that no one must go away without sharing in it and it was a credit to Brother Mason and his committee~the nice manner in which it was conducted | and enjoyed by all. Brother Philip Halls orchestra then broke loose with some of that music that they are ar tists of and all entered into the s.,irN of the occasion, and when time to de- part came all declared themselves as having the finest time they had ever had and looked forward to some more of the same good fellowship.
 And since our new manager Brother Fl. C. Wolfsen has come among us we are certainly making up to what a grand order we have and big classes coming in every meeting. Our man ager informs us that he has a charter for juvenile council and that Phoenix will soon have the leader of the west.
