PHOENIX ATTRACTS
 WIDE COMMENT BY
 FAST RATE IF GROWTH

Madison, Wisconsin, increased in population in ten years more rapidly
 than the average for 332 cities,' ac- cording to figures furnished the Phoe- nix chamber of commerce by the com
 mercial organization of Madison. This
 gain is placed at 36.s per cent for the
 average in 332 cities, with Madison
 exceeding all by a gain of 50.2 per
 cent. Phoenix gained 1909 per cent in population in the same ten years by the government count. This percent age gain is being commented upon all over the nation as remarkable, and as a result Phoenix is receiving through the government census publicity it did not anticipate before the census figures were announced.
 Within the state there has been pub lshed some favorable comment upon the growth Of Phoenix as the capital and metropolis of Arizona, comments which reflect credit upon the entire state as well as its chief city, it was stated at tho chamber of commerce. It quotes as an example the following editorial published in the Douglas In-' ternational:
 Phoenix is among the Pacific coast cities making remarkable showing in the 1920 federal census. In the last de- cade the wide-awalxe Arizona metrop-
 olis has added 17,919 to its permanent population. Its rate of increase has l been 1909 and it now has q. total reg
 istration of 29,053 as compared with 11,134 in 1910.
 "The development of the state of 1 Arizona goes forward with a certainty born of splendid natural resources. | Added to these fine resources and IS excellent climate conditions as are to | be found anywhere on the American continent. Arizona has a citizenship whose faith in the future of their state | is never shaken. Tested by the best standards of intelligence, education and forward looking statecraft, Ari-
 zona has a record which would be highly creditable to a much older state organization.
 Phoenix, as the first city of the
 state. has made a proud record in the 1 last decade. and there is every reason | to believe that in the next ten years her progress will be even more phe- 1 nomenal."

sary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, coming on Sunday was properly observed in Phoenix on Saturday, July 3. This is the first ob- servance of this national holiday ever held in Phoenix and was certainly a success from beginning to end and speaks well for the committee having the work in charge. A barbecue was held at Bucks grove one of the most beautiful places in our lovely valley, northwest of town. The people com menced to arrive quite early and the interesting program prepared was fin ished by II o'clock before the heat or the day commenced. The Declaration was read by Vim. Isaacs and the ora ton was delivered by Frank Cox one of our rising young lawyers. Else where We print the oration.
 Tempe
 The good people of Tempe having selected today, July as the day to celebrate il will be done by picnic and dance with music by the Phoenix brass band. 4 large number of Phoe- nixites are in attendance. The dance promises to be enjoyable as all dances held at Tempe are. the Herald being busy this morning printing some ele- gant dance programs.
 Prescott
 The celebration at Prescott is today. July with picnic and ball and in fact the observance seems to be gen. eral throughout Arizona. Our dis patches tomorrow will tell our readers how the day was celebrated from one end of the land to the other and also the many disasters on land and water, that always occur especially on this occasion. The telegraph operators have declared Monday as well as Saturday a day proper to be observed and have closed their key and grounded their wire the better to enable them to give vent to their patriotic feeling.

Tucson, July in a Graeco- Roman wrestling match last night between Louis Grigrif commonly called the grizzly bear met Henry Bauer brother of the celebrated F. Bauer the cham pion The match was for $500 a side and the championship of Arizona. The former won the first fall in four min utes and Bauer the second and third falls in two and four minutes respec- lively.
 London, July 4-The action of the house of commons on Gladstone's reso- olution to Sir Milling Bradlough to af- firm on his oath gives great satisfac- tion to the supporters Of the govern ment. (The action to which reference was made was the passing of a reSo- lution denying the right of Charles. (not Sir Milling) Bradlaugh to affirm. The Bradlaugh incident was one whscf stirred England for five years. Brad - laugh who had been a stormy petrel for some years. in 1880 was elected to parliament from Northampton. He pleaded that as an atheist he had the right to affirm but when his request was denied he expressed his willing ness to take the oath and on his re- fusal to leave the house which had de- clared that he was disqualified he was placed in custody after violent strug- gle in which his clothes were torn. His seat was declared vacant by the court to which the case was carried. But his constituency returned him in 1S51 and when he presented himself he was again forcibly ejected Similar scenes occurred in 1882 and 1883 and in the latter year Bradlaugh won a suit against the sergeant at-arms of the house for unlawful election. The case was. however. decided on technical grounds and the invaiidity of his title was reaffirmed. Tn 1885 he was again returned for Northampton and was this time permitted to take the oath and shortly before his death in 1891 parliament expunged from it's records the resolution forbidding him to take the oath.)

 Dro~ns in Ditch
 CHANDIER-A peculiar death by drowning occurred Wednesday after noon at Unit ?, Goodyear, when Diario Rodriguez, a Mexican, aged 30 years, was found dead in an irrigating ditch, which contained only four inches of water
 Coroner D. M. Arnold empaneled a jury and went to the scene of the ac- cident. According to Mrs. Dan Eld- ridge, who lives about fifty feet from the spot where the drowning occurred. she saw a mexican go to the ditch and stoop over as though taking a drink. She also saw him put his hands up over his head twice but did not think anything of it and went on reading.
 About fifteen minutes later she saw boy near the ditch and the same Mexican still there so she notified her
  and pulled the man out by his legs. MT. Eldridge said the man was face down in the ditch and had evidently strangled, as his mouth and nose was under water.-Arizonan.

 There is difference between idleness rest ing; there is difference between likeness is not restful. That kind of a worse than all likeness is vacancy of body and mind. Both deterorate during such period

All In the Air

What Is going to happen at San Francisco today, it happens, is in the lap of the gods and within the present plans of the supposed Democratic leaders and matter of fact, has taken leadership. Everything left in the air midnight of Saturday Only what likely not to occur could be guessed at from the proceedings night It did not appear that of the prominent can ddates could be nominated the visibility of the dark horses low that none of them could be distinguished
 Usually a Republican national convention when there is always leadership what takes place. however unexpected it may be. be explained rather it is selfexpanatory. But generally in Dem ocratic conventions where things just happen there be explanation. The actors themselves in the do not know how why they happen.
 One following the bal1oting Chicago could tell by comparison with the former ballot why this that delegation had voted and he could guess what likely the next ballot But following the baloting San Francisco Saturday and Saturday night constantly at much as delegates in Auditorium The jority of them running amuck, likely to turn in the mot unexpected place. Those who prefer uncontrolled conventions have enjoyed them selves in contemplation of the spectacle. The admin istration control which perfect during the organ ization and platform making thrown off or with drawn entirely. The delegations in their found freedom unable control themselves from ballot another.
 There was never in the twenty two ballots a sign of a break that might bring a solution. sign of a definite movement in any directions-only an aimess but continual shifting. It the move of squirming
 There deadlock in the tending forces had grappled furously but indecisvey for supremacy. At San Francisco gained i'm presson of such struggle rather of an morgan ized body, composed of hostile clements of which able to gather momentum.
 Unless leadership has been assumed and accepted by the weary delegates this morning expect the convention session today be fruitess a that Saturday. There evidence of leadership then. There were of course managers for the candidates but they in leaders they could exercise control beyond the circle of the delegates under less positive instructions in favor of their respective candidates So far it is what may be called acephalous vention--not nanmate gathering. but, certainly, animated by any definite purpose.

The Administration Candidate

The only thing clearly brought out at San Fran cisco within the last two days is that the administration candidate admins tration has other. not this stage, any rate, second choice. The president no second choice in anything. We wants what he asd nothing else
 It naturally suspected from beginning MT. McAdoo the presidents candidate, pro- vided. of course, Mir Wilson had abandoned third term aspirations. But that suspicion had no other basis than the family relationship. And for the moval of such suspicion, rumors set afloat arrangement between MT AlcAdoo and his tinguished father Jaw. Even daughters president were dragged into the rumor to make the story the complete It known that thore had recently been open communication between MT. McAdoo and the president also known that Wilson in Southern California last September, though the McAdoos were then there, no meeting the families
 It allowed to be understood that the president was lending encouragement to the candidacy of Attorney General Palmer Now. do suppose there is a Democrat n United States dense enough suppose foolish Palmer elected. if nominated in imaginable circum- stances might arise.
 No man ever aspired the presidency with little known qualifications high office and certainly. know of candidate for a presidential nomination who ever presented himself with so elements of country him and disgusted with him for his folly and incompetence.
 The country remembers his silly pronunciamentos
 
 during the year that the activity of the department of justice the cost of living shortly to be reduced The department has been tive but only the small profiteers of whom there are thousands He has gained their enrnity well as that the disappointed consumers He has earned the gratitude only of the large proeers of whom there are comparatively few. His dismissal of the suits in lands only the ground that he did not believe the government could win has angered hundreds of thousands
 The indiscrimnate activity of Palmer against the radicals though hailed with joy has dsgusted everybody, the 100 per cent Americans who have perceived mingled injustice and futility of the campaign s it conducted
 This is the candidate whom it was allowed to be understood the administration quietly support ing It has now been quite evident that Palmer was being used :ts a stalking horse for McAdoo, a reservoir into which should be gathered to be released in favor in Law at the proper mo rnent We see now why Mir. McAdoo was kept in inc background made even to request that his name be not presented to the convention And ve understand now why Mir. McAdoo sent broadcast owe, the country against the instruction of

The average savant, devoting him. self to history, frequently is shocked when he makes some iconoclastic dig covery, such as that Hannibal had a bunion or that Gallileo was near sight ed. So, We suffered shock recently when we learned. upon indisputable proof. that John l.. Sullivan did not discover and obtain a patent on the Manly Art of Selfdefense.
 Reluctantly we admit that it was John Boughton, born 216 years ago to- day, who invented modern boxing and thus became the first champion.
 Purse or no purse, Boughton was there. To him the right was the thing and not the money in it.

 Mir. s the admitted spokesman of the admin convention, the acknowledged leader of the administration Embttered by the un- expected events after sixteenth ballot when there had not been that swing to McAdoo which had been expected when COX had become the chief bene- ficiary of Palmer detection MT. Glass declared that Cox should pc nominated. When he was asked. suppose Cox reaches majority?' Mir Glass replied with heat and indiscretion, Champ Clark a majority Baltimore and was not nom mated Here a plain declaration of purpose 10 the will the majority.
 Why? What is the animus of the administration against Cox? can understand why MT. Bryan should oppose him Why any ardent prohibition dele gate might oppose him. to prohibition Cox precisely with the president, whose attitude toward prohibition sustained by eight to one vote convention the previous day Cox is with president the League of Nations.
