Lament for carranza

We have among contemporaries. which value. defender of and apologist the late Carranza government. It laments the over throw of His Whiskers, under the caption "Mexicos Loss" It regards the denouenent date as a "blow at stabilized government"
 When, may we ask, has there been a stabilized government in Mexico? And what indication has the Carranza government given that would become stabilized government? The ease with which it was overthrown proved it's inherent weak However high might have been Carranzas ideals and aims his very weakness left him incapable of heading government suitable to Mexico
 Admitting that the arrogance and temperament of Carranza harmful to Mexico, Nevertheless" says contemporary. "the Mexican people should have been allowed their redress at the polls" But that the thing that Carranza denied them. That the bottom the successful revolution. We have had the spectacle recently of the elections of Mexican governors two states aside by federal officials and the election eclamation" of defeated carranza candidates the protection federal troops
 carranza himself might not have been a eandf- date for reelection but he had selected a candidate the presidency candidates were forced to flee from the his influence evade arrest charge of treason. There was never Mexican election that was not farce and there was change of the federal government in that country that was not accomplished by revolution.
 We do not know whether the people of Mexico will have to say about their government under the regime but, certainly, they have less to say than they able say about any kind of government they have back to the time of Benito Juarez
 We only hope that a new day is dawning in Mexico

URGE USE OF TEMPE
 BnIDGE NOW ONLY IN
 CASE IF NECESSITY

Asking the cooperation of the pub llc in handling traffic on the Tenpe bridge. the state highway department IS requesting that no one use the bridge except for business purposes.
 According to the highway depart ment, A cars yesterday crossed the bridge in four minutes, a rate which if maintained throughout the day would have meant 15,000 automobiles cross ing the bridge which is being repaired by the department 1t required four guards to control the traffic.
 At the earliest possible date the hign- way department opened the bridge for the convenience Of the public It was opened in orde.- hat the long drive by the south road might be avoided al- though it meant q hardship for the de- pertinent. Tn many places the cars can not pass, the single track system re- quiring guards to notify the users ct the road of this fact
 "The state is facing an expense it should not have to bear" said Thomas Maddock, state engineer. Tt is i'm possible to handle the crowds that used the bridge on Sunday and we would appreciate the cooperation of the pub lie in it's use"
 Engineer Maddock suggested that pleasure riders drive to the end of the pavement and turn back toward town.
 Of the 45 automobiles which crossed the bridge in four minutes Sunday. 39 returned in the next 20 minutes. which the guards state was proof that they were 'joyrlders" and did not have to go to Tempe on business. Too much weight on the end of the bridge that is being repaired is dangerous. they say, and urge the public to use the bridge only in case of necessity. so that the numbers can be handled in safety

STATE ROAD OFFICERS READY TOAD COUNTIES

That the state highway department is available to county engineers and engineers of county highway commis- sions for consultation in making bridge plans or testing materials, was the an .nouncement made yesterday by Thomas Maddock, state engineer. MT. Adaddock's cooperation win mean a saving of many dollars to the counties.
 The state highway department has organized an excellent bridge depart menr which has designed all the recent bridges the design meeting with the approval of the bridge engineers for the bureau of public roads with very few alterations or suggestions.
 W e would be glad to have county highway officials feel that this depart ment is available to them for consulta- tion or design" said Mir Maddock We are also developing a testing de- partment, and will soon have the ap- paratus for making asphalt tests also rock and probably steel. At present we can make necessary tests on cement and sand
 .''The cost for this work would be the minimum amount necessary to pay the salaries or men while actually on the work. n our opinion. this would be much less than it would be necessarv to pay to secure these services frofx people engaged in making bridge plans or making tests of materials"

The Advanee of the chureh

 The preamble of the resolution for the introdue- tion in this casual and detached manner of temperance speaker. we are informed, defeated by a vote of 21s to 11s, presumably because it in weighed strongly against the liquor traffic. The conference would grudgingly permit Miss Willard to speak for temperance but would itself go record against intemperance.

Recent news from the Hidden Trea- sure mine in Mohave county in which many Phoenicians are interested gives the pleasing report that the No. 1 vein has been cut in the cross-cut at a depth of BIO feet. As has occurred at various other points, it is found to be highly banded near the walls, and as yet the entire width Of the vein has not been crossed.

HIGH SCHOOL Il NOTES
Senior Play Great Success

The seniors, in placing the senior play before the public, certainly fol- lowed the old slogan: Tt pays to ad- vertise," because both Friday and Sat urday nights the auditorium was packed clear to the roof. As to the play itself being a success. there is no question that it was presented better than any senior play for a long while. Each member of the cast could not have been placed better. Pat Casey and Allen Campbell, who took the two leading parts, carried them like pro- fessionals. Dot" Brownfield, Ruth Gill, Orville Tucker and Beulah Cham bers went through their parts without a hitch. putting just the amount Of pep to the play that was needed. Then there were those two solemn old foot men, Raymond Blount and Brodie Campbell. who looked and acted as though they were really imported from England just for that occasion. This play will be the last play of a series of very successful plays this year, ana the way the students took hold Of It. advertised it, and put it over will be handed down to the class below for many years to come.
