such cases and still ten only small portion of the
story. -
This r1otous use of money in, the cities is having
az injurious effect upon the country lfe It is en-
ticing our young men and young women from us and
is leaving rural communities stranded for help 1t
ties when we curtailed in our own power Of pro-
ducton and in our earning capacity.
The false lure Of sudden wealth is proving too
much for the country bo, and girl. They are for
saking their happy peaceful homes and are rushing
in droves to the call Of the cities gone mad
The bubble has beer inflated almost to the burst
ing point 1t cannot forever stand the increasing
strain In time it must collapse.
Already banks curtailing their loans for build
ing purposes 1t is necessary to stop the Initiation
Of fictitious values. Following this will come ces-
sation Of activity in the building trades with $1,000
day laborers looking for jobs that are not to be
found.
Similar conditions may be expected in other lines
with money becoming tighter as work ceases.
Added to tbs will be the scarcity of food. If
famerslose their hepthey can not produce the food
necessary to feed the cities and the country towns.
A country town is Largely dependent uDon the
farming community adjacent to it. If those farms
become nonproductive for lack of help the country
town is ia heavy sufferer
And this is the condition in which we fear we will
soon find ourselves in the country towns.
The insanity of the cities has done it's work well.
If that insanity is checked in time disaster may
vet be avoided. But if not checked soon the crash
will inevitably come and then the .deluge
Wholesale assininity has never yet been known
to produce any permanent beneficial results But it
has toppled kings from. their thrones overturned re-
publics and let loose the widest passions of ungov
ernable mobs.
The rural population of America is not over
oyed at the prospect the cities have forced upon the
nation we revere.

MAKING A POOR SHOWING

AS the campaign progresses the newspaper apol-
ogy that is endeavoring to put Over upon the good
people of Nogales municipal government that was
envoved from star chamber conferences, founders
along, getting deeper daily in the mire of it's own
falsehood and deceit Itstruggles from one pitfal
to another and all laid by itself.
It has endeavored to spring false issues, and at
the same time to gloss over9the real issues but the
people wise to the silly psetnsionS of the propa-
ganda, and the ticket it supports is losing ground
daily.
Always in any political campaign either party
has strong hulwark n.those voters who "regu-
lar' or straight. They can be depended upon to
work the vote for the straight ticket and then the
play to get possible uponwhom sits lightly the ties
of party. With enough of those the problems is
solved
But the. alleged Non Partisan ticket in this cleo
ton goes to the poll without that solid phalanx of
straight" and regular" voters without which
ticket has very poor chance straight" and "re-
gular Republicans feel that they have been trcked
and are jobbed in secret by manipulators who have
put up ticket forawhich no one will stand sponsor
and many OF them say outright that they will stand
not for such trickery. If one straight Republican
has said the editor has heard twenty who have made
the talk that instead of voting sorehead De-
mocras as they invited they will vote for seven
straight Democrats who stand by their party.
It is alright to talk independence of party ties
in municipal matters. Without doubt there are in
both parties numbers who take that view; but they
are few. All Of them in both parties would make
poor showing, which they will find when the votes
are counted next Monday

Faddists who don overalls have reason to be elat-
ed. They at least have the appearance OF working
Some people wait until they are done to a turn,
and then turn over to be done again.

day we find them all there but the point.

A MENACE TO COUNTRY LIFE

Will our cities eventually bring disaster to our
country towns?
In doing this will they also bring ruin upon them
selyAs?~s -
In accomplishing both of these will they become
menace even to the stability of the republic?
There is grave danger that all of these may hap
pen.
few years ago in any city women could be
secured to clean house for $3.50 to $500 day. Now
they receive as high as $500 day and three meals
Carpenters, plasterers, bricklayers and others in
trades formerly content with $500 and $500 a
day. Now they demand as high as $500, $1,000 and
more day and get it.
Ir factories, the railroads. in the offices, be-
hind the counters everywhere the same old story is
told in the big cities. Wages mounting and the
amount of work accomplished in day is decreasing
Profiteering in clothing and ether necessities
?nd uxuries of life furnishes unchecked. There is
no diminishing of this crime because city people have
gone insane on the subject of spending
.Mercants have made the bald statement that they
have offered excellent articles at modrate prices only
to have them rejected by the buyers as ito cheap"
Unable to dispose of them they have tagged the same
articles at doubefhe price and they have been immed

we'd found useful way to curb the raising cost,
