SAYS VERA MORT, GIRL IN THE CASE |S BAD WOMAN
She Never Intended to Wed
 O'Brien, States Court in Sentencing Canadian Sol dier to 3 Months in Jail

Stamping Vera Mort as a bad woman" Judge Dyer of the federal court, yesterday sentenced her victim, Henry O'Brien, discharged Canadian soldier, to three months in the Yavapai county jail for violation of the immi grafton act in bringing the artists model here from England.
 The jury, in finding O'Brien guilty, recommended leniency which the court declared he was inclined to give. In imposing the sentence he stated that he gave O'Brien time to recover from his infatuation. The court not only branded the girl as woman will ing to sell her virtue, but asserted that she belonged to the class of foreigners who should not be admitted to citizen ship in this country.
 That Vera Eort had already been advised that she was an undesirable became known yesterday when it was learned that she had engaged counsel to represent her should an effort be made to deport her. F. c. Struck meyer has been retained by the young woman, who is now being held by the county as a material witness in the case of the state versus Dr. T. F. Campbell, 60year- old physician, who is charged with assault with intent to commit murder Is the result of altercation with O'Brien over the girl. After the case is heard it is probable
 
 take Miss Mort in custody.
 Court Scores Girl
 Sterling Robertson, commissioner of immigration, was not inclined to dis cuss the case, although he stated there might be an investigation.
 The girl, who has been responsible for two men facing serious charges in this state, was not in the court room when she was denounced by the court Judge Dyer did not mince his words
 T believe and I think the jury be- lieved when it recommended leniency that this man was a victim of the woman She wanted to get from Eng land to Los Angeles and was willing to sell her virtue to get there. She offered to take this man on six months trial. We do not like trial marriages in this country-we do not tolerate allow it.
 "O'Brien became infatuated with the girl and was willing to go to any ex- treme, even to violating the. law. I do not believe she ever intended to marry him. What she intended was to him and his money.
 Light Sentence for O'Brien
 "She does not belong to the class of foreigners who should be admitted to citizenship of the United States
 'In order to give O'Brien time to recover from his infatuation and in consideration of his four years mli- tary service, I shall sentence him to be detained three months in the Yava- pal county jail.'
 The court thanked James r. Lavin, who was appointed to represent O'Brien, for the faithful manner in which he discharged his duties

Identifies Guest of Honor


 Former Governor Hunt, who came from the same part of the country though not from the same county Pike the home of Judge Dyer, was the next speaker Alluding to a remark py Judge Dyer that Senator Vest had once told him that southeastern Mis- souri consisted of swamps and demo- crats, the former governor hoped that a time would come when the denoc- racy which had developed that part of the state would extend and spread all over the country. If 1t does said Judge Dyer, we will cover it.
 Judge J. B. Woodward, who was practicing law in St. Louis g years ago. told of an incident. without men tioning names. of which much was heard at that time, the prosecution or the whisky ring consisting or seV- eral of the wealthiest and most power full men in the Middle West. They were defended by the Tall Sycamore of the Wabas ash,'' Dan w. Voorhees,. The government had selected as prosecutor a young stripling from Pike county, who succeeded in convicting the ring
 This stripling. he said, was known as Pat Dyer. He had since changed his name, but Judge Woodward said that he had identified Judge Dyer as the same young lawyer he had seen at that time. Why he had changed his name Judge Woodward did not know. Have you anything else on him?" asked Justice Baker
 Justice Ross, a near Missourian from the state of Arkansas. apologized for his narrow escape from birth in that sovereign commonwealth. He rather spoiled his intended tribute by the dec laration that Missouri. bright as it was, shone with the reflected light of Arkansaw. He concluded with hope that the prediction of Judge Dyer that this was his last visit to Arizona might not be verified.
 Pays Him Tribute
 Judge Stanford, in a witty address said that he had witnessed the phe- nomenon Of single judge keeping 100 lawyers busy. He said that business in his court had been brought to q standsul by the presence of Judge Dyer in the federal court In almost every case called in the superior court. since the arrival of Judge Dyer, law CTS had pleaded for a continuance on

JUDGE DYER |S
 BY EX-M|SSOUR|ANS
Jurist Who Is Presiding at Term of Federal Court in This City Honored by Former Residents of His State

Judge D. F. Dyer of St. Louis, ac companied by his friend, Rt. Rev. James Wise, bishop of Kansas. was the guest of honor last night at a dinner rendered him at the Arizona club by Missourians and former residents or Missouri. though not products of the soil of that commonwealth
 It was desired by them that some mark of honor should be shown the distinguished jurist during his stay here. presiding over federal court Tn which he has gained the admiration and respect of those who were not la miliar with his long public service in Missouri.
 Invitations had appropriately been extended to the members Of the Su- preme court and the two judges or the superior court of this county, pe- side some members of the bar anu the press who had no special claim to the honor involved in birthr1ght or former residence in Missouri.
 Corporation Commissioner A. A. Betts was toastmaster Justice Baker of the supreme court having been 1n- troduced, spoke of the greatness or Missouri. where he had lived for a time, and of the splendid record Judge Dyer had made during his long public service.
 Judqe Dyer Reminesces
 The address OI brief review of the development Of the state, especially of the southeastern part of it; of his acquaintance with the men who had made history, not only m Missouri. but in the nation. He nad been there almost from the beginnlhS. The youngest of 12 children, he hao been taken to Missouri by his parents in 1S41. There was not a mile Of rall- road in the state. and there was little promise of the future. For IT years, said Judge Dyer, he had never stepped upon free soil; as matter or fact, from the time of his birth in Virginia until October 3, 1858, he had never been upon free soil. But on the latter date he crossed the Mississippi river to Quincy to hear the famous debate be- tween Lincoln and Douglass.
 The remarks of Judge Dyer were rather reminiscent and sparkled With humor. In conclusion he spoke or the measure his visit to Arizona had gwen him and with a shade of sadness ne said that he regretted that he woulo not be able, in the nature Of things to return to a land which he had so much learned to love.

O O CITIZENSHIP

The first step toward good govern
ment, is to get out a full vote at all
primaries and elections. The ele-
ments that seek to manipulate popu-
lar government for their own per-
sonal advantage, always get their
vote out. They may carry contests
where the mass of the people do not
get out in large numbers.
In many states the real choice Of
the people is made at the primary
contests. If the politicians a have
their own way at the primaries, they
are usually able to control elections.
Yet in spite Of the vital Importance
of those preliminary contests, they
are apt to be poorly attended.
Some people won't vote, because
they say everything is cut and dried
beforehand by the politicians. If so,
one reason why things I misman-
aged is that the people abstain from
voting in large numbers, therefore
allowing interested parties to set
things up for their W personal adj
vantage.
The results of primaries and cleo
lions closely affect everyone. If the
government is poorly conducted, tax
es will be high, public work will be
badly done, schools will not educate
the children we'll, the roads will not
be kept up, in short everything will
go badly. Whereas if capable and
honest men are elected, improvement
will be achieved in all lines.
Yet the people who suffer from
the inefficient government often for
get when primary day ONE They
are too busy to take a half hour to
go to the polls on election day. It is
poor patriotism, poor citizenship, and
mental sluggishness. But these are
times when the spirit of good citizen
ship is rising, and when there is a
steady increase of attendance at po-
litical contests. The man who claims
to love his country, and to want good
business and good public work, is a
fool not to take the trouble to vote.

A matter of particular interest to
the farmers of this community that
was recently called to our attention
is the fact that the State Bank of
North Dakota has taken away from
this county about $4,000 that here
tofore has been available for loans.
This means that the banks will be
short Of funds for loans that are re-
CURED by the farmers during the
busy season to carry on their work.
A number of the school districts are
also finding that the State Bank is
not the most accommodating insti-
tuition that they have to transact bus
mess with. And when it comes to
the matter of farm loans the farmers
find that the Federal Land Bank is
able to give better terms. OF course
the State Bank furnishes a fine job
for Mr.. Cathro and Mr.. Waters at
good salaries and also a large num-
Der of other political favorites and
