SOLDIERS DISGUSTED

It begins to look as though the five million men who served with the colors during the and the Repub leaders i'll Congress drawing off for a finish fight on the bonus compensation question. The pority leaders have declared their stand of compensa ton for this Congress and nothing but party can overtun them before they to the mat with the soldiers Indications that former service the country have put the present Congress down fathes and inefficient and that they intend going after the "scaps of those responsible for the party policy coming ill from various sections of the country.
 The complaint of the former service men is that after year of waiting and trusting in the pledges of the pres en Congress they understand that the present body of law makers unwilling to make a compensation adjustment i'll any form at this time At special ference of the Republican leaders held within the few days it decided that the would be told they wait before relief justment will be given them
 In the meantime. the American Legion represent ing million half organized former service men, through its executive committee, has called Congress to keep the faith it pledged the during last and fall and has stated its belief that fifty dollar bond should be given who served honorably during the for every month of service compensation to meet the extreme living cost created largely by the usually high compensatlons paid civilians during he war In its resolution the executive committee called especa attention the fact that the American Legion it's NO vember convention in Minneapolis left with confidence the discharge of this obligation to Congress and in its article declares that mo definite action looking to such compensation has yet been taken by Congress-
 Legion officers in respect to their resolution point to the fact that the congressional leaders gave them understand last summer there would be soldier pensation legislation until after the American Legon convention that Congress might have the advantage of knowing what the majority of the service wanted They further aude to the given them by tain Republican leaders at the time of the convention that they could with confidence leave such matter Congress without specifying any fixed adjustment Now apparently they convinced that Congress has broken faith with them and of the convinced that certain willy members of Congress have purpOsey sclemed them into where they afford to neglect them.
 The demand among the yet morganzed who served in the ranks is said to be nsstent than that of the members of the several soldier organ cations Proof of the pressure behind such legislation is seen the fact that about eighty bills have been r

IS ROSS STILL CANDIDATE
 FOR SECRETARY OF STATE?

A demurrer filed by Harry s. Ross to dismiss the contest suit of Charles deSales Wheeler against him for the democratic nomination for secretary of state was denied in superior court by Judge Stanford. The demurrer was submitted without argument by Ross and alleged that the court had no jurisdiction on the subject of the ac- tion and asked that it be dismissed be- cause the petition did not state suf- ficient facts for cause of action.

CAMPBELL NOT SERVED
 IN MOEUR LIBEL SUIT

Although preparations have been been made by attorneys for Governor Campbell to answer immediately the complaint for libel demanding S3O,. 900, filed by J. H. Moeur, state land commissioner, and immediately take the deposition of Mir. Moeur to deter mine the fees he has received direct ly and indirectly for representing cli- ents before his father, the land com missioner, Governor Campbell had not been served, according to advices reaching his attorneys yesterday.
 The whereabouts of the governor have at all times been known to the plaintiff and his counsel, his itinerary being published frequently in the newspapers. He was in Phoenix af- ter the case had been brought and could have been served.
 Whether the plaintiffs attorneys have ascertained that preparations were being made to take the plain tiff's deposition is not known. This may be the cause of delaying service.
 The Moeur case, it is said, will pro- vide the opportunity to go into many transactions in the land office which could not be inquired into at the in- vestigation before the land depart ment, including the handling of cam paign funds for the elder Moeur when he was candidate for governor, and other transactions.

ALLEGED ABDUCTOR OF GIRL
 WIFE IS ARRESTED IN MESA

Luke Ellis, alleged abductor of his school girl wife from the custody of her parents at Claypool, was arrested in Mesa late Friday night upon war rant issued by Justice McEachren, of Miami, charging Ellis with abduction.
 The husband is specifically charged with abducting his own wife. They were married not very long ago, but the nuptials were not agreeable to the parents, who caused their daughters return to their household and iIistitu- ted proceedings in the superiof court to have the marriage annulled.1
 Thursday evening at about 8:30 o'clock, Ellis and friend drove to a place near his wife's home and wait ed for her to leave the house. Soon after they arrived at their place of waiting, Ellis was rewarded by the ap- preach of his wife with a girl friend. As she neared the spot where the car was waiting, Ellis leaped from the car, threw a coat around his wife, placed her in the car and drove away.
 The parents immediately swore out warrant for the arrest of Ellis on charge of abduction, and various cities in the state were notified to keep lookout and arrest Ellis. Word was received yesterday morning that he had been detained in Mesa.
 Ellis is said to be 25 years of age, while his wife, who was formerly Edna Andregg, is but 15 years of age and was still in school.-Globe Rec, ord.

JOHN w. ESTILL FOR
 STATE TREASURER

We are not urging the support of the members of the republicans. But this year the republican ticket is gen. erally made up of exceptionally able men. The professional politician is for the most part absent. The men who have been nominated were judi ciously chosen and generally they en- tered into the campaign with some personal sacrifice, as part of their duty to the public.
 We have in mind especially John w. 'Estill, of Pima county, the repub- lican nominee for state treasurer. Mir. Estill has never been an office seeker in the little more than twenty years he has resided in Tucson, during which he has been active in the busi- ness and public life of the city and county. But in 1911, when it was de- sired that the affairs of Pima county should be handled by business men, Mir. Estill was drafted as a member of the board of supervisors and he held that office until 1918. Four years of that time he was chairman of the board. It was during his incumbency that the first 200 miles of improved roads were built in Pima county.
 MT. Estill is not seeking the office of state treasurer to gratify any per- sonal or political ambition, but to lend his strength and influence as a candi- date to the cause of good government, to assist in the election of men to of fees where they could be instrument al in conferring good government.
 We believe that this year the voters of Arizona are more discriminating than they have ever been before-that they want fewer professional politi- cians in office, but more men of the Estill type.-Arizona Republican.

UTTER HOPELESSNESS OF
 THE DEMOCRATIC CAUSE

The last days of the national cam paign have seen the democratic lead CTS concentrating almost their entire attention upon the league of nations. They seem to realize that they made hopeless failure of governing the country, and that their only hope is to draw attention away from the mis- management of home problems. The democratic orators give the im- pression that the country has just one chance to get into the league of na- tions, and that if they turn down the league covenant as MT. Wilson nego- tiated it, then they must forever re- main aloof. The real condition is that every member of the present league is supremely anxious for the United States to come in. There will be little difficulty in getting amendments made or such new covenants adopted, as will satisfy the objections made by the United States.
 The country is now loaded for generation with burden of debt and taxes created by democratic extrava-
 gance and mismanagement. The req son for these mistakes was that the democratic party, in the suspicion which it felt of business men did not secure competent management for the war.
 A republican president will not sur round himself with theorists, but will place responsibility in the hands of men trained to big executive tasks and constructive efficiency.
 He will get things done with a min imum of cost to the people. In view of the lamentable failure of the dem ocratic party to reduce the cost of liv- ing and cut the red tape out of gov- ernment, it is time to make this move in the direction of business govern ment.-Albuquerque Journal.

It surely is strenuous life to teach the freshmen. You just have to hold your breath from one question to another fired by freshmen. They ask some of the most peculiar questions. It takes a real genius to answer them.

CHINESE GIRL WHO LIVED
 HERE GETS DEGREE

Lydia Hu, the clever little Chinese girl who received her early education in the public schools of Tempe and was graduated from the Northern Arizona Normal school, is to receive a B. s. degree very soon, according to word from Western College, where she is completing her studies. She plans to leave soon for China to prac- tice the profession of dentistry.
 There are scores of boys and girls in Tempe who remember the child of the Orient when she was left there in charge of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. H. Blome with whom she lived for years. She was placed in their custody by her father, Chi Ping Hu, who also receiv- ed his education in the United tSates following number of years in the schools of Germany. At present he is working in the mission field in China, although he was in this country in the spring in attendance at the Methodist conference in Des Moines.
 Although Lydia is devoted to her father, Dr. Blome, state director of vocational education, and his wife have beer the real parents to the girl during her many years in America She has kept in close touch with them while at college and the plans she con- fided to them in letter received yes terday will be of interest to the many who know her here. Following is the letter:
