The Hay and Grain Rates

The threatened railway strike probably hastened the order of the interstate commerce commission rpancing the rate hay and grain in the western m nh mid-western states by 16 cent. So if the sArdke should proceed further, that much good xuouid have come of the perturbation which the xsrsSzs call has already caused.
 That some reduction would be ordered the iranression of Commissioner Betts, who represented axona at the hearing formed from the observations made by the commissioners, and the overwhelming evidence advanced of the needs of the hay and grain growers who it was shown had been effectually cut fs from their natural markets by prohbitory rates.
 The Is per cent reduction, while not as much as was asked for. being only about half the increase made following the wage advance of June, 1920, will enable these commodities with profit to the producers
 The reduction. if it shall have the effect of nov s- hay and grain, will be of far greater benefit to .s ,.5lroad than to the growers. For instance, it

THE CITY OF TOMORROW
BY G. D. YoAkUM

gloom. It hurts without healing: it cuts without curing. It is probably 90 per cent ineffective, yet has not the grace of forgiveness to cover its failures. Its inmates do not go out saying: Since the city has forgiven me. I ought to be a better man." h. stead they go out bitter and re- vengefu1, with a vocabulary of social revolt somewhat richer and hands better trained for the injury of the public.
 We throw our sick into Jail. pr. Thomas Haines is to begin a state wide survey of our mental invalids and when he has finished he will tell us-mark the prophecyi-thatw We are throwing sick persons into Jail. Between 25 and 50 per cent of all the inmates of jails are subnormal men tally. To punish these morons for misdemeanors is at once cruel and foolish; as we'll whip a deaf boy for not hearing or blind boy for not seeing. Such persons are sick, but it's a sickness the nature of which neither the patrolman nor the po- lice judge is paid to recognize or treat So these invalids and defec- tives are thrown, like Mir. Harris. into the dirty jail and left there without the treatment their cases require.
 The city commission does well, in reviewing the Harris tragedy, to call attention to the need of new jail. Surely Phoenix needs a new jail. But pardon us for saying again that a new building will not remedy all the ills. nor even the majority of the ills. of our present situation The whole system is bad; the idea of protect ing society by means of a jail is rot ten, and its fruit will continue to be rottenness. violence, increased crime, and tragic death.
 Every jail ought to be reformatory. It should segregate hardened crim- inals from first offenders. Labor should be provided and that of an improving sort. Moral betterment should not be regarded as a luxury beyond the desserts of any criminal. There should be regular appeals to the will and conscience of the offend CT, in the name of religion. The star of hope must never set. The prisoner in the "bull pen" and the jailer at l the door and the public at home in bed must all believe that wise ef- ! forts toward a better manhood may | someday be crowned with success.

Under the auspices of the Roosevelt Memorial association the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt will ee observed in Phoenix next Thursday, October 27, rs s wiil be in nearly all cities Its Nration will be not only occasion to do honor to this great man but it will give impetus to growth of the association here and everywhere

As remoteness the great figures in history they loom larger haIlowed ry time. which those asperities which are magnfied by nearness. And these asperities are pronounced the greater figures

 So it will be with the growth of MT. Roosevelt in hearts his countrymen and the whole world And believe that the country had accurate nation of greatness the time of his death than it had ever entertained with regard to the ultimate of time.

interesting to see the family coat of arms of our old friend Darrell who named our city.
 Bryan Philip Darrell Duppa CID was born in Paris, France, Oct g. cation at Cambridge, he went to meet his uncle, George Duppa in New Zealand where he acquired some mining stocks. In 1863 he arrived in Prescott and joined the settlers in several Indian raids. Two or three years later he came to the Salt River valley. At that time the only set tlement was on the south side and known as Hayden's Mill Duppa proposed the name be changed to Tempe, taking the name from the Vale of Tempe, in Thessaly, a valley lying between Mount Olympus and Mount Ossa, whose beauty and choice fruits were immortalized by Horace and Nergil and ovid. In the Greek the word was pronounced with the accent on the first syllable, the settlers changed the accent to the last syllable.
 The name Phoenix was proposed by Duppa and applied to the district but not to a town, for there was no town. When it was proposed to change the community center from the neighborhood of Helling's Mill Gust east of the insane asylum) the North half of Section s was chosen for the reason that it was so thor oughly covered with ruins of ancient houses as to make the ground un- desirable for raising barley. Duppa located on the 160 acres of land ad- joining the townsite. The Southern Pacific depot is on a corner of this land which ran west halfsmile to Seventh avenue. He sold this land to John B. Montgomery and it now forms the Montgomery Addition.
 Although Darrell Duppa was one of family of 15. yet at his death on the 18th of January, 1892. he was sur vived only by his unmarried sister, Ellen. aged 62, living in London. His mother. Catherine Mary Duppa, had bequeathed five -siNths of the es- tate in the counties of Norfolk. Suf- folk and elsewhere in England and Wales. to his sister. Ellen, and one sixth to Darrell; a very strange pro- 1 cedure in England. Four days before his death he willed this property to Dr. O. J. ThibOdo with whom he had made his home and where he died He was extremely anxious, that this will should be SO drawn as to with SldHu any test m EnSlSn courts II l seems doubtful as to whether Dr | Thibodo received this bequest, as the | remittances to Duppa were of con i siderable amount. Of the witnesses | to this will, only Ezra w. Thayer re- | mains.
 The remainder of the estate, con sisting of drafts en route from Eng
 land and gold watch were willed tC | a saloonkeeper. J. H. w Jensen A year afterward. Jensen through his
 attorneys. Fitch and Campbell. made demand in court that Dr. ThibodC | turn this property over to him.
 Many incidents in Duppa's life arc | to be found in the various histories | of Arizona. With the passage o years an overgrowth of tradition ! gathers about a romantic life. Tn, l persistent claim to lordship by Duppa is baseless. Few American
 families though can claim a prover
 ancestry through 13 generations l Here we have bishops. knights. here | ditary members of parliament and 1 tutor of a king. Among the pioneer
 in a new country he may be pardone,
 for having called himself LOT,

 Dr. Turney writes:
 I have omitted material which has heretofore appeared in print. with the exception of the mention of death which I obtained in your office from the files of the Phoenix Herald. All of the other material was obtained From relatives in England and from English church records.
 The Duppa family is one Of con - siderable antiquity.

TO MEET
 STRIKE EMERGENCY

What is believed to be the first of a number of like orders in anticipa- ton of the threatened railroad strike was received by the local post office Saturday when Charles Rog CTS. chief clerk of the railway mail service. Los Angeles, requested Su- perintendent of Mails Giffen to as- certain the cost of automobile truck service between Phoenix and Blythe, leaving Phoenix one day and return ing the next, with three round trips a week.
 As the postoffice contemplates that main line service will be continued during the strike 1t is believed here that the only trucking service re- quired in the transmission of mails will be from Phoenix to main line functions. such as Maricopa. and per- haps Tucson. Action on this. how ever. will be deferred until definite orders have been received from the main offices, it was said yesterday. The gist of the letter received here Saturday follows:s
 As you are aware there is immi- nent prospect of a strike of railway company employees. While it Is en- tirely possible that the strike may be averted it is essential that plans for substitute service be carefully out lined well in advance of Oct. 50. We hope that some means or other there will be a sufficient number of main line trains operated to move the transcontinental mails, therefore our aim will be to provide for the trans portation of the mails from inland territory to the coast in the nature of automobile trucks to provide for what would be considered local serv- ice for the supply of each and every postoffiCe which now exchanges mails by railroad trains. The auto mobile truck service is intended to provide for first and second class mail only, with such other classes of mail as the capacity of the vehicle will nprmit',

GOVERNOR URGES
 ACTION ID CARE
 FUR SERVICE MEN

Strongly urging immediate action to meet present emergency arising from needs of hundreds of former service men who with the approach of winter are pouring into Arizona, Governor Thomas E. Campbell has been successful in speeding up the construction program of Fort Whip pie and Tucson
 The governor in taking this ac ton endorsed the report of Director Forbest. of the Veterans Bureau. He immediately wired President Harding and Arizona's representatives in Washington of the desperate situa- ton here claiming the present facil- ities for caring for the war veterans very inadequate.
 Acting upon the governors Sena- tors Cameron and Ashurst held con- ferences with Director Forbes with the result that bids will be opened in Preso ott for the enlargement of Whipple Barracks on November 2, while bids will be opened in Tucson October 31 on cottages to care for 300 more patients. In the meantime, according to Senator Cameron's re- ply, Director Forbes has recommen- ded imnc diate construction of fron 30 to 59 temporary bungalows.
 Governor Campbell is presenting the situation to President Harding wired as follows:

THE CHRISTENER OF PHOENIX
 LORD" DUPPA

There are few men who have been more prominently associated with Phoenix and the Salt River Valley than Darrell~ Duppa, called Lord" Duppa, and of all them there is none of whom so little has been definitely known. It was only known that he appeared here before the foundation of Phoenix, that he gave the settle ment it's name, that he was in receipt of remittances from England. He was supposed to be a younger son of a noble English family and that was all.
 Following the erection of a memo rial to him last spring. Dr. Omar A. Turney took upon himself the task of securing definite information con- corning him and he entered into a correspondence with registries and relatives in England, resulting in the tracing of his family back through eleven generations.
 Prefacing an account of the family Dr. Turner says:
 If I were called upon to write an inscription to our old friend, it would read:

Jenny is a butterfly.

Jenny is butterfly,
 Jenny is a fsirt. Jenny's ways are frivolous,
 Jenny's speech is pert But oh, the flashing smile of her, And oh. the wiling glance, The grace and pep and style of her That make my heart to dance. Mary is a steady girl.
 The girl I ought to wed; She's fair and wise and gentle,
 With loyal heart and head; Her virtues I could tell about
 For days and weeks, maybe. But-Jenny's cast a spell about
 The silly soul of me. Jenny is a butterfly
 Who let's dull care go hang; But oh. the airy wit of her, The elfin charm and tangi Mary'd stand the gaff with me
 Throughout the toll and strife; But Jenny-Jenny'd laugh with me
 For the very joy of life. And that-and that's the best of it, We'd share the vim and zest of it And-devil take the rest of it
 When Jenny is my wife.
