MT. Gompers will indeed be a wonder if he succeeds in lining up American labor with the workers of Central and South America. While workers unions, international in scope, may in time be of great practl- cal use, at the present time they are not to considered. The American laboring man cannot help himself by allying with any foreign workers.

ONE WOMAN'S ACT.

When Perley Spiker of Baltimore married man, went to war, he met a girl in England and they became something more than good friends Spiker returned and soon learned that the girl he'd left behind had become mother. He told his wife and she, instead of following the course generally followed by wo- men who find themselves in her situation, made efforts to adopt the baby of her husband ,and arranged with her brother to wed the girl it's mother.
 Thus is one triangle smoothed into family circle of four. The wife instead of parting company with her husband for all time, continues to live with him. The husband will go along the even tenor of his way with his wife as if nothing had happened. The girl is to have husband and a home and the baby will have name. It's rather remarkable ending to a situation that in 99 cases out of 100 would have meant misery or bloodshed.
 Every now and then something happens to prove to us that people are not as narrow or as mean as they are pictured. To many it will seem that Mrs. Spiker showed some thing like supernatural strength when she took the course she fol, lowed, yet there are five people who have every chance to lead happy
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-02-03

life as the result of what she did She had the future of five people in her hands and could have made ol broken them as she desired.
 It must have cost the wife some thing to follow the course she pur sued, but she has made it much easier for the others, and if they are worthy of her, she too will moi suffer for her act

BILLY HART OF MINSTREL AND
CIRCUS FAME ON VISIT HERE

W. j. Hart, better known as Billy
having just returned to the United
States after an absence of fifty-two
years, most of which was spent in
India and Oriental ports, is spending
short visit here with friends.
Mr.. Hart is back again in the land
of his birth and is very anxious to
locate some old "cronies" of his who
were members of little theatrical
organization founded in New York
in the spring of 1887 Their names
were Billy Bowron, Billy Sheppard,
and William T. Carleton. These men
left Chase and Howard Minstrels
somewhere between here and Pres
cott over fifty years ago. Anyone
knowing their whereabouts. or if
this should catch the eye of any of
them kindly communicate to w. j.
Hart, 100 East Aspinwall Street,
Winslow, Arizona. The little theatri-
cal organization referred to above
was known far and wide as the Jolly
Corks.
The reason of Mr.. Hart returning
to this country was on account of
the complete loss of his circus on the
Island of Boreno in terrific typhoon
that swept over the Island on Sept
H. 1919. Prior to this Mr.. Hart's
wife, who was professionally known
by her maiden name, Dolly Daven-
port. lost her life by falling from a
horse at Sarchi, India Two years
prior to this Mr.. Hart lost % mem
bers of his company, including his
three daughters. in an epidemic of
white plague which swept over
Northern Mongolia. The crowning
loss of Mr.. Hart's life was his three
grandchildren at the rim of Mt
Krako, near Garoute. Java, in June
of 1919
Mr.. Hart is now 76 years of age and
his one ambition in life is to find the
cid friends of his boyhood days.

NAVAJO INDIANS TAKE
TO THE MOUNTAINS

During a storm last week on the
Navajo Reservation, one of the Nava-
jo Medicine Men was struck by
tightening and was unconscious for
four days. Upon gaining conscious
ness he claimed to have had vision
and told the Indians that one day this
week two suns would come up, in
stead of the usual one, and that i'm
mediately following this there would
be great flood and all the Indians
and their belongings in the lowlands
would be washed away. The Indians.

Medicine Men. Immediately gathered
longings. and about $500 of them have
gone into the mountains and refuse
to come down. An old Indian woman
called at one of the trading posts and
wanted them to give her all the bacon
and flour they had, but she claimed
to have no money. When the clerk
refused to let her have the provisions
she remarked that he might as we'll
let her take them to the mountains
where she could take care Of them, as
the store would be washed away and
everything destroyed in few days.
1t seems to us that this old fellow
was taking big chance in telling the
Indians this tale, and will have some
tall explaining to do when the food
fails to materialize.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

Winslow's candidate for Secretary
of State. Edward A. Carroll, is now
making a tour of the state in behalf
of his candidacy and is making the
best impressions wherever he goes
and we believe will come in winner
by big majority. The Prescott
Courier carried the following last
week in it's editorial columns:
Edward A. Carroll of Winslow
Arizona, who is candidate for Sec
retary of state. was a welcome caller
at The Courier office this week and
did some circulating around the city
and vicinity. and it can be truthfully
said that a man of more pleasing de-
meanor and address has not visited
this section. He is a vigorous and
bright young man. coming thorough
ly under the classification of good
man and a democrat. An air OF
goodfelloship. and cheerfulness sur
rounds him and gets you ready to
be glad to see him before he arrives
He will certainly be heard from
whenever he goes after anything. as
he comes under the head of what has
come to be known as "go-getter.
1t looks good to see such vigorous
and worthy young men coming to the
front in politics, as we need them
and the sooner they get broke into
the harness the better.
In commenting on his candidacy
the Northern Arizona Leader says
in part: Edward A. Carroll was born
in Milwaukee Wis. September 20.
1890, and was educated at Sacred
Heart College, Watertown, Wis;
came to Arizona in 1910, settling
down at Winslow. where he has
since resided. He has been connect
ed with the Santa Fe railroad at that
point in every capacity. from call boy
to yardmaster. and is head of the
local trainmen's organization in Win
slow. He served in the army over
seas for one year during the war. and
was the first post commander OF the
American Legion at Winslow.
Mr.. Carroll's announcement appears
in this issue of The Courier. and it
is a matter of congratulation that we
have such a fine and competent
young man in the list of aspirants
for this important office.

BASEBALL DOPE

ed the 4th and 5th by travelling to the
town of Williams and using their
baseball aggregation as the fire works
winning from their opponents in the
first game II to 5 and taking the
second days past time by close
score of II to TO- Let it be said that
the Winslow Baseball Club is very
much indebted to the Williams Cham
ber of Commerce for the fine treat
ment and courtesy that we received
at their hands during our short stay,
and it's a wonder that a better team is
not turned out by them with such
support from the people as a whole
In getting back to the playing, due
credit should be given Charles Hitch
cock for twirling us to victory on
both occasions and the fine work that
was performed by o. Lawler on the
receiving end. The writer believes
that our speedy fielder Joe Fischer
breaks all records for phenomenal
playing when in the first game he
made three of the prettiest catches
ever seen on sand lot in many a
day. If it wasn't enough to take the
heart out of anything, ask Williams.

Albuquerque to play the Duke Greys

FIVE MEASURES WILL BE
ON BALLOT NEXT NOVEMBER

PHOENIX. July Sat ten o'clock
Thursday night, within two hours of
the expiration of the time when pc
titions for initiative or referred
measures, to insure their appearance
on the official ballot to be voted for
by the people at the November cleo
ton, could be filed the following
measures were found to have gained
place:
State highway commission bill:
bill making important amendments
to the game law: soldiers, sailors
and marines civil service bill; bill
increasing the salaries of teachers
and many county and state officials;
county division BILL
| There will also be on the ballot
two measures. proposing constitution
al amendments referred by the leg
islature. One of these alters the con-
stitution with respect to the eligi-
bility of the members of the legisla-
ture for other elective offices by
providing that members may be ELI
| gible for election to offices after the
term of legislative service. though
created by the legislature during the
term of their service or the emolu-
ments of which we're increased dur
ing the term of their service. This
amendment was suggested by the
question which arose in the candi-
dacy of Senator Golfer for governor
Under the present constitution. he
would not have been eligible to that
office though the term of it would
not have begun until after the ex-
piration of his term as a member of
the legislature.
The other amendment changes the
constitution with respect to the place
of candidates for the tax commission
on the official ballot. Under the con-
stitution now there is pleasant fic-
ton that the office of tax commits
sioner is non-partisan. The amend
ment would put the candidates un-
der party designations.
What is known as the Paradise VAL
ley irrigation bill failed of filing. but
it was reported last night that the
proposed constitutional amendment
to permit the state to finance irriga-
tion enterprises had received the re-
quired number of signatures and that
the petition would be presented be-
fore midnight.
Another bill doubling the school
tax levy also failed.

up. hoping to keep ahead of the big
car.
AS the car attained speed of thir-
ty miles an hour, and they were on a
