A MANS MAN.

We had not the pleasure of an ac-
quaintance with the late Judge Glenn
entson, but we have been much i'm
pressed by the esteem and almost rev.
erence in which he was held by those
who knew him we'll. especially by men
Of the legtl profession. He came into
daily contact with them in an every
day way, and perhaps all of them, at
some time in their lives, had one or
more acute disappointments at his
hands, for it is universally said that
he had no favorites He counted all
his friends if they were worthy, but TO
him the law-and right and justice
were above friendship. and tho he per-
haps sympathized with the eager at
torney who could not win his opinions
to his side of the case yet he never
hesitated He did not seek to please.
we are told, but to do justice regard
less of everything else.
lis is spoken of as a cordial, open
hearted man among those whom he
knew we'll. and he was on the best
of terms with almost all the members
of the baf turnout his circuit His
passing can as a personal loss to
these men, il seems, and apparently

TWO VIEWS OF HOOVER.

Herbert Hoover has finally con-
Guided that the republican party looks
the best and will make an effort to
secure the nomination for the presi-
dency under that banner. We doubt
very much his ability to outrun the
politicians who have been iTe the race
for delegations for weeks past, but
if he should, he will be a mighty for
midable opponent for the opposing
candidate Any man who can accom-
plish what Hoover did while food adj
ministrator for practically the entire
world, will be able to see far and ac-
complish much in a political contest
And we regret that he is not on the
democratic side, for we feel there is
where he elongs.-Richland Demo-
crat.
That was neat one that Herbert
Hoover pulled on the Democrats. He
got them all to boosting him and
lauding him to the skies, telling the
people what a fine president he would
make and then he announces that if
he runs for president he will run on
the Republican ticket as he is and has
been Republican. The Democrats
are getting out of it in as neat a way
as possible and they do not think so
much of Mr.. Hoover as they did, at
least they don't make so much noise
about it.-Richland Republican
The above tells a story. Hoover.
now a republican, is better liked by
his old associates, the democrats. The
republican rank and file do not favor
him warmly.

The Democratic party has had a
great place in the country's develop
ment and a sound position principally
as a party of protest since the days
of the civil war. 1t has numbered
among its adherents millions of good
citizens whose Judgment might be
questioned but whose motives could
never be impugned 1t is only lately
since it began to listen to strange
gods and to follow a leadership that
would bring the nation to the laby-
rinth Of destruction and despair-that
it became vitality necessary to defeat
its standard bearer Many contend
that the election of Wilson four years
ago was a great disaster. It brought
in train calamities that might have
been averted by a more practical if
less idealistic chief magistrate But
as Wilson has outlived his popular
ity so he has also passed beyond his
prestige and the nation hurries to the
selection Of newer men and the solu-
ton of postwar problems.

JOHN DOE CRITICRES
 STATE LAND BOARD

" nlle many charges have been filed against the state land board this year. IL remained for John Doe of Cooley to protest against its Indian policy
 Ben Clark, deputy state land com missioner, has been called on the car pet for discriminating in favor of the Indians. John Doe charges it up to the land department that "al the good land has been held out for the red men. Says he:
 Cooley Ariz.. June IT, 1920. State Land Commission or Agent
 Phoenix. Ariz.
 Sir: How is it that you have held out all the good land for the Indians :? I have been in Arizona almost two years trying to find a homestead and every time I find a decent piece of land I am told to get off as it belongs to the Indians. Now if you think this is right then I don't know what kind of an American you are. What tribe of Indians do you come from, or what Indian chief is your wife the daug ghter of. or why is it that you think more of an Indian than you do a white man?
 I warn you that if you don't change TOUT system I am going to report it so the powers that would be in Wash ington, and if Washington don't act then the state of Arizona is mighty liable to lose a good citizen who is anxious to help build up the country.

TWO PHOENIX WOMEN
 DIE IN LOS ANGELES

News of a double tragedy reached here from Los Angeles yesterday when it was learned that Miss Corinne Chamberlain, formerly of this city, had died following an operation few hours after the death of Mrs. J. C.. Cole, who was killed in an automobile accident. The double funeral was held on Thursday. many Phoenix friends being in attendance.
 For many years Miss Chamberlain has been in i'll health, but her condi- ton was not regarded as serious. It was thought that her operation was successful, but three days later she died. With her when she passed away were her mother and sister, Mrs Clarence Cole. Her brother, Kenneth Chamberlain, one of the foremost car toonists in the country, is at present in the east. Mrs. Cole had left her sisters bedside only a few moments when advised that her mother-in-law had been fatally injured in an automo- bile accident.
 The Chamberlains lived in Phoenix for a number of years during which MT. Chamberlain was engaged in busi ness here. Some time ago they went to Ohio, their former home, and after MT. Chamberlain's death again came west, locating in Los Angeles where they have been residents for some time
 The Coles also lived here a number

ADJUSTMENTS
Will Rogers at the Columbia

The unique personality of Will Rog- CTS is revealed to advantage in the new production, The Strange Board CT" That a man is no less a man but rather more because of a trusting faith in bis fellow men, is grippingly told in this new GoldWyn picture.
 He is supported by an excellent cast of contrasting types and the story from the pen of Will Payne, the Sat urday Evening Post writer, holds the spectator throughout.
 It is an absorbing story of real life and Will Rogers plays the role of Sam Gardner, a rancher who is double crossed by his friends who persuaded him to enter into a deal, the outcome of which proves disastrous for him.
 Sam Gardner is a modest man, a real American country type, who is game through all his misfortunes, and who, for the sake of other people, makes sacrifices which reveal the manhood underlying the frank, rugged honest surface. Sam is the father of a little boy for whom he is willing to sacri- flee even his life and it is mainly for the childs sake that he is inveiglea into selling his ranch and taking up a supposedly good proposition. which turns out anything but profitable for him.
 Will Rogers is supported by a strik- ing cast summoned by Director Clar- ence Badger, prominent among which are Irene Rich, Jimmy Rogers, son of the popular actor, James Mason. Doris Pawn, Lionel Belmore, Jack Richard son, Sydney Deane and Louis ]. Dur ham. The picture was photographed by Marcel LePicard.
 This picture may be seen at the Co., lumbia Theater today and tomorrow.

Riverside Park

Tonight is the night of the one step marathon at the most popular amusement center in Arizona. This is an innovation with Riverside Park, but there has never been announced an event at the big ballroom that struck any more responsive chord, or one that was more enthusiastically en- tered into by the hundreds of dancers who nightly find their way to River sides uneXcelled dancing emporium. The idea of the marathon is speed and lots of it. The course is five times around the dance floor. there is no couple barred-everyone is eligible to enter the contest. To the couple fin ishing the distance in the fastest time a prize of $10 in cash will be awarded To the couple finishing second will go the second prize of s in cash. Of course, King Brady's inimitable jazz band will be on hand to furnish the musical inspiration. The Kentucky Derby is the latest concession to open at Riverside Park. It is the most fas- cinating game offered in the last 10 years, and is proving a riot with the park patrons. The pool. with it's abundance of pure fresh heated water. is of course a popular spot with Phoe- nicians during the summer months and is the scene of many a party of merrymakers taking advantage of the opportunity to beat the heat of the city.

Gladys Leslie at the Hip

Gladys Leslie returns to the Hip for a two days engagement starting to- day. when she will present her latest Vitagraph picture The Girl Woman. It is a remarkable career that Gladys Leslie has enjoyed in the realm of pic lures. She has steadily gained in pop ularity until she is today considered one of the best stars on the Vitagraph lineup. Her every picture contains an element of humanness that lifts it to the plane of an extraordinary fea- ture, and gracing her every role with a sureness that is born of ability and experience she is gaining by leaps and bounds. As is the case with most of her pictures. the present bill is a com bination comedy drama, containing enough of each to make it. an excellent entertaining value. On the same pro- gram the Hip will screen "The Fight ing Terror" and the Burton Holmes travelogue.

lndo-israei Notion.

The anthrOpolOgical evidence Is all
against the notion of Jewish an
cestry of North American Indians.
Their skull formation would show
rather a relationship with the Mon
gOls. 1t is very unlikely that Jewish
pottery or clay tablets were ever dis
covered in North America. All ira
dition ard all chronological science
would be disturbed by such find.
But the Hebrew language, in its
Aramaic dialects. spread throughout
the East eight or six hundred years
before our Christian era, and was the
official language of diplomacy and of
commerce. Even If traces of that Ian
guage were to be found in Canada, il
would prove nothing more than that
eastern traders had made their way
into that country years ago. Consider
ing the narrOwness of the seas between
the new and the old worlds on the
Pacific side, this would not be very
wonderful matter.

WHALE BLAMED FOR DISEASE

Danish Scientist.

The echinococcus disease (caused by
small tapewOrm in the liver or
lungs), which first made it's appear

DENSE to be due originally to whales.
The Medical Record quotes from 8
Dutch scientific paper some of the
facts upon which Van DENSE bases
this theory.
'It is said that this affection is en-
demic i'm Iceland and that 1t eventual
ly reached Friesland from that locality.
Not only Friesland vas attacked In
the eighteenth century, but many other
seaports along the North sea and Eng
fish channel. The connecting link ap-
peared to be the whale fisheries, orig
inally a Basque industry, with head
quarters at Bordeaux. In the seven
teenth century the channel ports en-
gagged in the whale-catching industry.
Friesland, possibly infected from Ice
land, also engaged in whaling, ap-
. peared to be distributing point of the
infection.
Not only whales, but also seals and
other Arctic fauna. were perhaps in

which was conveyed directly to man
kind when in starving seasons they ate
this flesh and to dogs and cats in the
same manner, the animals then serv-
ing as hosts for the parasite along with
mankind. In time this maritime in
dustry went out of use. Recollections
of old whalers, however, testify to the
custom of taking dogs along on whale
ships, SO that dogs could become in
fected aboard ship and menace the
home dwellers."
