BARREL OF MOONSHINE
 FOR SATURDAY NIGHT

"The King Is Dead-Long Live the King"-but the birth of national pro- hibition and the passing of John Bar own little, city of Globe. Last night, between the hours of 10 p. m. and 11:30 p. m. West Mesquite street took on a metropolitan air, and the travel increased beyond the bounds of this normally quiet sector.
 The alley adjoining the Elks build- ing seemed to lure the excess travel; f; and all who strayed from Mesquite street failed to return from the dark recess of the now popular alley. A little pilgrimage by the reporter dis closed the attraction in the alley.
 Someone had tapped a good sized barrel of "white mule"-and the thirsty population made good use of the opportunity to celebrate the burial of John Barleycorn. The contents of the barrel passed out long before the arrival of midnight's holy hour and the Arizona Eastern right of way was made the temporary of sleeping quar- ters of almost score of plain and fancy drunks.
 The finest aggregation of full | fledged drunks seen here in many years, slept in peace and contentment while those who failed to consume their just share, looked on with envy at the good time they had missed. Where it came from? who tapped the barrel? and who "got touched" can be added to the many deep my., teries of dry territory; but fifteen a twenty local residents will vouch ftl the statement that said barrel hay "some kick" Perhaps it was simplV a little surplus from the "privat stock" of some generous ihdividua who wanted to bring his supply within the limits of the law before Februar! 1st.
 The barrel remains in the alley but the evidence remains only in th' form of a varied assortment of head aches and the knowledge that th' show was open to the public and no strictly private.-Arizona Record.

FIVE FLORENCE AUTO
 GAS TANKS CONDEMNED

Five pumps used at gasoline filling stations in Florence, to measure gas- oline into the tanks of motor cars, were condemned by R. E. Merritt, state inspector of weights and meas ures. All the pumps condemned were found to be giving customers short measure by from one pint to one, and one-half quarts, the state inspector said.
 Inspector Merritt's trip through the southern part of the state was taken for the purpose of initiating an inves- tigation of wood measurements made by fuel dealers in their sales to cus- toners. The investigation is to be made in the larger cities by the city sealers, following complaints from various parts of the state to the state inspector that certain wood dealers were giving short meas ure. Prosecution would follow the in- yestigation if the facts disclosed by the city sealers supported the com plaints, the state inspector said prior to beginning his trip.

Each state will handle it's own situa- tion. MT. Bond said, and no general program was worked out.
 According to MT.

CLAIMS LODGE HAS
LUDENDORFF IDEAL
Noted Suffrage Leader Says
Senator's Policy Is Down
With Wilson,"
By MISS ANTOINETrE vUSk.
Noted Suffrage Leader.

Written Expressly fer the I. N. D.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 24.-The
Democratic National Convention At
San Francisco will without doubt
Adopt a platform indorsing the Fed
eral amendment for woman suffrage.
This will be In line with the policy
OF the party as announced by Presi-
dent Wilson ana endorsed by every
leading Democrat In the United States
and I hope IL will call the attention
OF American women to the fact that
no man In tho White House ever sup
ported woman suffrage except Wood
row Wilson. Even Theodore Roose-
veit was an anti until the formation
OF a Progressive party. four years
after he went out OF office.
The League OF Nations Is not sec
ond In importance in the minds OF
women even to the matter or sur
frage, for suffrage is an accomplished
fact. The women OF America sent
their sons into the war In the BELIEF
that this war would bring a promise
of peace 20 our troubled world. The
Democratic party, under the leader
ship OF a Democratic President, has
formulated treaty including
League Of Nations, and the Demo
cratic convention at San Francisco
will adopt az it's principal plank .
demand for q treaty, including a pro-
vision for such league.
1t is immaterial what words may be
adopted In creating this great inter-
national tribunal, but II is essential
that the central idea OF substituting
peaceful negotiation for force ofarms
shall in no wise be nullihed and per-
sonally do not see how the language
of the treaty submitted by the Presi-
dent can be improved upon.
When Mr.. Lodge repudiated the
league that he himself indorsed, he
demonstrated to the world the de-
structive Lodge Ludendorff ideal
which reduced to its simplest terms
means, down with Wilson"
The fate of Ireland and her gal
liant people lies close to the heart OF
every American. Our citizens who
have their mainsprings of race back
in the little isle are flesh OF our
flesh and bone Of our bone, and II
the wishes Of the people are reflected
in the San Francisco platform a
statement will be embodied therein
that America desires for Ireland what
Ireland desires for herself.
