EVENING. SEPTEMBER I,
EDUCATION MEANS WORK.

The Saturday. Evening Post has q.
timely editorial dealing with certain
tendencies which have been quite
prevalent; in American education.
Particularly does it deplore the ten
dency to deceive the child into the
belief that the acquisition of an edu-
cation is something that is always
easy and pleasant.
The plain fact is. as.the Post points
out, and as every sensible person
understands, that the educational
pathway has many rough and rocky
places. Many things in the school ex-
fperience of a child which, under one
teacher are unbearable,- can be made
attractive under another. But the
teacher lived who could remove
from the school life Of the child all
that is hard, harsh and d~isagreeable,
There Is a theory that, in the right
environment and with the right sort
Of careful, patient training, the child
will naturally and willingly choose
that which is best for him. and that
he will love study If given . reason
able opportunity to do So
The theory is all bosh. Every child
has outcroppings of the old Adam
which require sometimes the discfp-
line of hard and disagreeable work,
and which sometimes call for punish
ment administered frankly as such.
The su~gar-coated school overlooks
entirely two of the most important
in human experience, duty and
discipline. Sometime in the life Of
the individual he must learn that
there are things which no exercise OF
the imagination a make other than
disagreeable which he must do. not
because he likes to do them, but be-
cause he ought And sometime he
must learn that he must restrain his
impulses and curb his desires or he
will reap the penalties of wrongdo-
ing. t
It is well for the future citizen II
some of these things are learned in
the plastic years of childhood. II
they are not learned until maturity
the lessons will be harder.

GIBSON, CONFESSED SLAYER. IDENTIFIED
 AS HENRY WATSON

An important link in the chain of
 evidence, coupling Nose Gibson with
 the brutal murders of MT. and Mrs.
 Jacob Erhardt on June 6, was forth coming from federal and county off
 cials at Tucson yesterday. These off
 cials, and also prisoners at the county
 jail, positively identified Gibson's pho tograph as that of Henry Watson, who served a short sentence at Tucson.
 Gibson, or Watson as he was known in Tucson, was first arrested at No gales, April ,, according to records, on Q charge of importing intoxicating liquors into the United States. He was held in jail at Nogales until May 6, when he was taken to Tucson and arraigned in federal court, entering
 plea of guilty and being sentenced to "A days from that date in the county jail.
 At the time of his arraignment in court, Watson or Gibson. told the judge
 that he was en route to Phoenix for
 his health, but had stopped off at Tue son to visit a half-sister at Nogales.
 Failing to locate her there and being without funds, he said, he joined an
 unknown man in the liquor transac- ton.
 Watson was released from jail at Tucson June 1. He was given an order for his personal effects, which he never applied for From Tucson, he went to ~NO6tlCS, Oll4CGES Sldl6, dIQ to Tucson about June 3 or f. It is supposed that he then came to Phoe-
 nix, arriving here June or g. During the period of his incarcera- tion at Tucson, he wore large heavily smoked glasses, officers write United States Attorney Flynn here. 1 Sheriff Montgomery stated yester-
 day that he and l.. M. Laney. county
 attorney would leave for San Francisco about August 1 to interview Gibson | They will first proceed to Santa Ana,
 California, where they will get Sheriff Jackson, to whom Gibson made his
 confession, and they will go to San Francisco together. Jackson's pres ence, the sheriff feels, will have a ten dency to put the negro at ease and cause him to talk.

been thoroughly demonstrated, is that the only safe guide to irrigation is the condition of the plants. The success of the crop depends upon irrigation more than any other single thing.
 Tt is the policy on the tours to study four or five fields in one day. This includes one or two fields of well grown plants, showing especially desirable fruiting; one field or more of cotton which has been extremely restricted. and one or more fields which have been overgrown.
 "One of the most important fea- lures of the tours is the exchange of ideas which they bring among the farmers. while in the personnel of ex- perts in attendance, the foremost authority in matters pertaining to cot ton culture are obtained.
 Best Suited Now
 At this time of the year the condt- tfons of the fields are best suited for study and the lessons which the agrf- ing since this spring are now best proved. Tours. MT. Heard explained will be of greatest value between July 15 and September 15.
 It is the plan of the bureau next year to promote tours as soon as the cotton season is started. in February, if pos sible, and the series will be continued until the picking season. Past tours have been taken part in by from 8 to 100 farmers. Mir Heard states that the tours reach their highest effici- ency when there are no more than s present, although he declares the bu- reau welcomes as many farmers on all the tours as care to take part.

PLANS AIRPLAnE
 LINE PHOENIX TO TUCSON,NOGALES

Because of "deranged" and inef- ficient rail transportation between Phoenix, Tucson and Nogales, R. E. Fishburn of the Tucson Aviation com pany has announced aerial passenger service will be initiated next spring, according to Phoenix Chamber of Commerce advices. Fishburn says the new Larson plane will go 20 miles on one gallon of gasoline and that as soon as the planes can be received opera tions will begin. He also cOntemplates a Tucson Los Angeles passenger ser vice by way of Ajo at some time in the near future.
 He has announced that the coast to coast aerial mail service will soon be installed by way of Albuquerque, Tue son. A jo and Yuma to Los Angeles.
 Phoenix, according to the Aero club og California, is charted for a landing place on this route, but whether the route" ever gets here or not depends upon Phoenix, the chamber of com merce announces. A landing field will be included in the city plan now be- ing prepared by Planner Frost to be submitted to the city commission in the very near future. It was stated further that landing field up to gov ernment standard was one of the prime essentials before the people today and that no present prosperity should be permitted to obscure the light of duty.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 IN "SAFETY FIRST"
 RULING IN PETITIONS

Nomination petitions for legislative candidates should be signed by at least per cent and not more than 10 per cent of the total vote of the county in which the candidate is to be elected. according to an opinion furnished by the attorney general yesterday. This is a safety first ruling, it being held that the supreme court might not exact the requirement. but base the petitions on a vote of the district.
 The question was asked the states legal advisor by the Hon. Fred Sutter and County Attorney Robert French of Cochise county in response to which the following answer was made:
 "As a precaution we suggest as you advise Petition for legislative candi- dates by districts represent to 10 per cent of county vote. This for safety though supreme court probably might not exact that requirement. on hear ing but. base petitions on vote of dis trict.'
 Tn making his inquiry MT. Sutter wrote as follows:
 "In 1918 Article W of the state con stitution was amended by an initiative measure which provides that there shall be elected from each county one representative for each 1.500 votes or major fraction thereof cast in such county for governor at the last pro- ceeding election and provides that the several counties shall be divided into legislative districts, from each of which shall be elected one represen- tative
 Clause 2 of paragraph 1915, revised statutes 1913, C. c. provides that the

nomination papers of members of the legislature shall be signed by at least 3 per cent of the party vote in such county, but not more than 10 per cent of the total vote of the party in such county. This paragraph has not bee II amended since the amendment of ar ticle " of the constitution.
 "Now the question has arisen in my mind whether the nomination papers of representatives should be signed by at least per cent and not more than 10 per cent of the total vote of the party in the county or by at least per cent and not more than 10 per cent of the total vote of the party in the legislative district from which the candidate is to be elected. I should appreciate the opinion of your office in respect to this question"

COST s25 n RACE HIS . CAR ON ADAMS STREET

Adams street proved to be an ex- pensive speedway for l. J. Ray, accord ing to his testimony in police court yesterday when defending himself on a charge of reckless driving. Ray admitted that while racing with another car east on Adams street about II o'clock last Saturday night he smashed into a motor car which was parked along the curb at Seventh and Adams streets, materially damag- ing both cars.
 ''Ill admit I was speeding Ray told the court. but I don't believe I was driving recklessly."
 Acting Judge Kirkland advised the defendant that any one driving a car at an excessive rate of speed over the streets of Phoenix was unquestionably guilty of reckless driving.
 In addition to bearing the expense of repairing both damaged cars, Ray paid fine of $25 for reckless driv- ing.
