The next. day she said, she looked to see if either of the two Hindus bore any marks of a fight, but saw none. For several days after that they worked with

teams on an irrigation ditch near their house, she testified.
 Mark Phillips, the second witness for the state, said that the screams he heard were muffled and that the thrashing about in the house continued Tor several minutes and then every thing was very quiet. Soon after that he said, he heard a door open in the Martin house, and he saw a form faintly outlined by the glimmer of light from the door. The person, he said, seemed to be carrying some heavy object which he said he took to be case of beer bottles. After a time he said. he saw the form return and enter the house and heard the door close
 Mir. Phillips said that before the night of the disturbance, he had seen Cervantes around the place often and called him the cook. After that night he said, he never saw him about the place and had never asked either of the HinduS where he was. He said he saw Martin and Greval early the next day planting cotton and working on their irrigation ditches.
 The trial will be continued today. :.

NO DUTY ON HUN BOOKS
(Winnipeg Telegraph

An invidious distinction unwittingly made by the Canadian customs tariff has just been brought to light. It is that books printed in the German and Austrian languages are admitted free into the Dominion. while those printed in English or French have to pay duty
 Item 172 of the tariff provides for the free admission of books printed in any language other than English and French languages, or in any two languages not being English or French,
Arizona republican., 1920-05-12

or in any three or more languages"
 This regulation has been in force for nearly 9 years. it's object being pre- sumably to afford measure of pro- lection to Canadian publishers.
 It is somewhat surprising that its invidiousness did not strike someone little earlier; but it is surely obvious that it should be rescinded at the earliest opportunity. The Hon. MT BurriIl says that the cancellation of this preference is under consideration.

NO WOMEN CLOWNS


 | Why aren't there any women clowns 1 with the circus
 The blushing bride whose nuptials | are so rudely interrupted during the performance is a man; the lady clown with the obedient hustle is a man; and even Alfred's mother, the lady with the collapsible face and the detachable teeth, who goes through the arena shrieking for her offspring. is man. There is not a single lady clown in the circus who is really lady | And the reason, says Al Miaco, the oldest clown in the business, who cele- brates his s1st mirthday with the Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Combined shows at the Garden this year, is that women do not make good clowns In his sixty odd years of i clowning for living he has known some women clowns, but none of them he says, were good neS.
 The reaSn that there are no women in the clown business" the veteran of the profession says, lis that women are just naturally not good clowns. They won't make fools of themselves as men will. And they won't make themselves look ridiculous
 Take a man clown, for instance He doesn't care how funny you dress him or how foolish you make him look, because men, as rule, haven't any natural vanity. But give a woman d paint her face in red and white checks, put on false set of feet seven sizes tool arge, and what have you? A lady clown? No-a resignation.
 Women haven't a sense of humor when the joke is directed against themselves. They hate to be laughed at Men don't. They are better sports They like q joke. and can laugh at the ones that hit them as we'll as the ones that hit others.
 "No, my years of experience have proven that men are the best clowns Maybe it's because they don't have to act. Maybe they're born that way"

Dakota deserve the thanks OF the
American people for having shown
them that the people have the capacity
to rule; for having shown them that
they believe that 1t is the duty Of the
American citizen to exercise his rights.
Here are a people who are real Ameri-
cans. The workers Of the nation are
going to follow their example and
unite and prove to the world that they
can rule; that they are capable Of
self government in the highest degree.
Many of the surrounding states are
a%nXiOusly watching developments in
North Dakota in this campaign. Sew
eral Of the states in the South are
anxiously waiting for the result in
North Dakota, hoping that the Nom
partisan League will win and that the
experiment in, self government being
carried on in that state shall have a
thorough trial. These people firmly
believe that North Dakota is pointing
the way to, the solution Of the eco
nOmic problems that confront the
nation today and they are hoping and
praying that the farmers of North Da-
kota will not be overwhelmed by the
abuse to which they are now being
subjected by the interests opposed to
them.
"It would be a calamity not only
TO .'orth Dakota but may e a
catastrophe to the entire nation If the
farmers of North Dakota are blocked
in their program. I have no patience
with the opponents of the Nonpartisan
League. When l first heard of the
movement I became interested and
began Il careful study of it.. The
abuse to which it was subjected by
certain interests soon convinced me
that there must he something in it.
As the United States stands as the
salvation of the world today, so North
Dakota will prove the savior of this
nation"

Father 0'Donaghue Says Farm.
er League May Be Savior
of Nation.

Rev. Father Martin O'Donaghue Of
Washington, D. c., came out for the
Nonpartisan League in the course Of
an address delivered in Moorhead
Friday, May 81. In giving a mastery
review of the present economic stu
alton and of the spirit of the Ameri-
can nation Father O'Donaghue said:
people ask why l am out making
these speeches. I'll tell you why. l
believe that the American people are
facing a serious crisis and that it is
the duty of every citizen to do his bit
to help lead the country through it.
This is the American revolution and I
believe that it is up to. every American
to be on guard and protect the liber-
ties of the people. The man who re-
fuses to take part in this movement,
who keeps his mouth shut to the
dangers that confront us is not only
negligent but such action borders on
the criminal.
Tories in America Today.
"The tories at the time of the
Revolutionary war believed that the
common people were not fit for self
government. We have that kind of
people with us today. I meet them
often. They are doing everything in
their power to make democracy a
laughing stock. They have arranged
things so that the people believe they
are making the laws of the nation and
actually taking a part in the govern
ment, while as a matter Of fact a
small group of men opposed to them
are putting their own ideas into op-
GRAFTON.
There is an invisible government
in this country today and it is the
money power in the hands of the few.
I do not really feel like blaming them
for this condition. The blame lies
with you and me-the common people
who have been negligent in exercising
our duty of citizenship. We have
failed to grasp our w Importance or
have been so busy attending to other
matters that these few men have been
allowed to usurp our powers.
"These men and the interests they
represent are creating discord among
the common people, setting them to
fighting against each other. so that in
the meantime the interests may con
tinue their unlawful exploitation,
They may succeed here and there but
l could not believe in God if I did not
believe in man and his ability to win
against these forces.
sThese unlawful forces are always
at work splitting up the common peo'
pie into factions while they go serene
ly on usurping the powers Of the citi
zens. You cannot make the people
defending special interest believe thai
| the common people can govern them
selves, but we expect, by this election
to make them know 1t.

beautiful solo and obligato music on

Mr.. James McCravy was late, ar
irving on the 9 o'clock train, but DR..

successfully kept the congregation
waiting by entertaining them with
a most edifying talk by the pastor
and some congregational singing be-
