MARTINEZ ADMITS CRIME.

The Tucson Citizen gives the following account of the alleged illegal deportation of Modesto Martinez from Nogales, Sonora, as a result of which A. c. Villa senor, presidente and Ramon J. Sesma, chief of police of Mo- gales, Sonora, are being detain- ed in jail pending the arrival to- day of Governor Borquez, from Hermosillo:
 After a week of what is pos sibly the most spectacular ex- hibition of sleuthing ever done by a police officer of Tucson, City Detective Comacho Wednes. day morning brought here from Nogales, Sonora. Modesto Mar tinez, a confessed slayer of Low Tai Boon, Chinaman killed in the grocery at 928 Anita street on the night of November 9th.
 Martinez admitted to E. B. Frawley, assistant county attor- ney, Wednesday,, that he took part in the hold up in which the Chinese storekeeper was killed one of the shots which caused his death.
 Low Tai Boon was found dead in his place of business a6 eight o'clock in the evening inn mediately after neighbors to the store heard three shots fired and saw three men run from the store, escaping under cover of darkness. It was believed that Boon had over $500 in his cash drawer, no trace of which could be found after the murder.
 Detective Comacho arrived at the scene of the crime within a few minutes after the shots were fired and has worked inde- fatigably since that time in an effort to round up the assassins. Twenty four hours after he was called to the scene Comacho was following up important clues which finally led to the arrest of Martinez Tuesday in Nogales, Sonora, where he had fled the day following the crime.
 The Chinese chamber of con- effort to bring about detection of the assassins and had offered g. reward of $2,OOO for arrest and conviction. Low Tai Boon was a resident of Tucson for about 25 years and had owned the store on Anita street for 8 year. He was we'll known and very popular among the Chinese mer- chants of the city and held high respect,

BANKERS SUPPORT CLUB WORK

The Arizona Bankers Associa. tion at the meeting held last week at Douglas, following 8 custom started several years ago, made an appropriation of $500 to be used by the Extension Service of the Arizona College of Agriculture in the promotion of club work. This action is very gratifying to Dean Work ing and Director Cook, both of whom are heartily in sympathy with the agricultural club move ment.
 For a number of years MT. Smith, of Benson, as chairman of the Committee on Agriculture of the Bankers Association, had been a very helpful supporter of club work. During the last year MT. Esgate of Phoenix, has been chairman, with MT. Smith as one of his associates. The two men have been good partners in con tin uing the support of club activities; and the action of the Association at Douglas gives as- surance that the good work will continue.

A PROCLAMATION
Designating Thursday, November 26.
 1920, As Thanksgiving Day.

Three hundred years ago, on a bleak New England shore there gathered a band of Pilgrims, to render thanks to. the Almighty for the harvest that had been gathered. The day of Thanks giving thus inaugurated had an- nual observance within the northeastern American colonies and has had national recognition since 1863. It is based upon the harvest festival common to all peoples, a day selected especial ly for the offering to Omnipo- tence of thanks for the natural bounties through which life is sustained. The PuritanS gave thanks that their reaping had assured food for the coming winter, and that their lives had been spared in their struggles with the surrounding Indians. In his issuance of the first na- tional Thanksgiving Day procla- nation, Lincoln was moved by gratitude for period of success at arms that assured the win hing of the war between the States. Today, our Nation, two years removed from the victori- ous ending of the greatest war of history, is moved by thankful
 ness for mercies through which it's independence and it's peoples rights have been retained.
 Conditions of reconstruction are gripping the people of Ari- zona. For extraneous reasons, their products are finding slack demand in time when high maintenance costs still are known But, beneath this surface show ing, can be found much for which gratitude can be express ed.

FRIENDLY VIEW OF WILSON.

David Lawrence, the well known
newspaper correspondent, and one OF
the steadfast defenders Of President
Wilson in the past, now admits that MI.
Wilson has hot and ungOyernable
temper and that the heavy duties OF
state have shattered his nerves. In a
recent article Mr.. Lawrence says there
were times, especially when Europe
was taunting him of his too proud to
fight" phrase that he would have well
coined the opportunity to take on a
scrap with anybody. In concluding a
correspondence dealing with the presi-
dents temperament, Mr.. Lawrence
says: 1T has been noticed that in the
last two years the president has been
given every now and then to intem-
perate eXpressj III. In Il nutshell, his
burdens and his duties got on his
nerves and are still on his nerves.
Woodrow Wilson three years ago would
never have done what Woodrow Wilson
lis doing today. Cabinet members have
led him astray and gotten him into
worse difficulties and more uncOmfOrt-
able moods than did Secretary Ian
sings adventure in protecting the pres
ident from adverse criticism when he
was unable 10 discharge the duties of
his Office. The man who has long stood
for the inetliciency of the pOstOfiice de
partment and the public criticism o.:
Secretary Baker. Secretary Daniels and
others in the senate and house whom
he has been accustomed to silppart
without regard aof public opinion is not
the same who dismissed Robert Lansing
as secretary of state. He is a man up
on whom the burdens of the war and
peace jobs have left Il residue Of ner-
vOusness. irritability and intolerance
that will be rcpressed with difficulty as
Woodrow Wilson serves the remainil.,
twelve months of his term"

ington bureau-onc that can find out
facts and will not color them after
ward. 1t has been revealed during the
past few days that the president was
parulyZcd on one side as the result
of clot of blood on the brain. and
that he was unable to perform the du-
ties of his Office. Why, the presidents
own letters to Secretary Lansing re-
veal the fact that he didn't know OF
the cabinet meetings being held, while
all newspaper readers knew OF them.
Dr. Ioung's recent statement proves
Mr.. Dickinson was correct and that
the country has been deceived about
the real condition of the president
1t is little wonder that the people
have no confidence in the bulletins
issued daily when the president is sick.
They have been deceived so many times
that they have come to regard the
statements of attending physicians as
mere camoutlage. The Freeman
Journal could never understand why
such deception should be practiced. 1t
is responsible for grave apprehensions
on the part of the public when there IS
really no cause for alarm. There Is
nothing gained by deliberately mis-
representing the facts. The people
will know sooner or later. Then why
not tell them from day to day!

been used to make cement and labor

while the paving can wait.
The Times-Republcan made itself
somewhat notorious before the war ad-
vocating concrete paving in towns. on
nearby main roads and permanent
bridges, but the cost of paving then was
labnormally cheap. Had more OF it
been done, much could have been saved
from the costs now, but buying on the
low market and buying on the high
market are two very different things.
The war suspended building operations
throughout the United States for 3rac-
tically three years. Give the country
three years in which to catch uIf--last
year, this year and next year, and we
may expect the cost of building to com.
down. We can at least expect labor to
he more plentiful and more willing to
work and contractors need not add so
much to their bids to cover their llaz-
lard in obtaining men and material.

OUR SENTIMENTS. TOO.

Times Republican: Paving projects
such as those in towns and which are
not considered immediate necessities in
order to capture federal all funds can
well be deferred for a year Or two III
the hope that prices may come down.
Concrete paving which cost Sl.41 per
yard in Denison, Iowa, before the war
is about to be let this year at $3.49, an
increase of more than 100 per cent. II
is too much. Public works should no
more be purchased on the top OF the
market than private investments.
Houses in which to live we must
have. Construction of these should
proceed regardless of price. Sometimes
Industrial and business buildings can
not probably wait until the building
boom subsidies because the loss to the
business is greater than the probable
saving in construction that could ne
accomplished by waiting. Public works
however, mostly can wait lower mar
ket which is sure to follow the boom.
BY projecting large programs o. pun
lie building when prices are lowest ana
labor most in need of job. men are
given employment when they need
work. material is used when there is
Il surplus on hand, the cost is at a
minimum and hence the tax burden Tor
seven to twenty years is kept down to
the lowest figure possible. Public
works in towns like these merely heip
to bid the market higher for all neces-
sary private works. by paying the
