The public has been shown that the Pttman Act
does simple justice the miner at not pennys expense

Senator Pittman said he believed the fund estab-

A LESSON FOR MARICOPA

Marcopa county authorities are preparing to wage
war on all gambling, according to reports published
in Phoenix papers.
COchse county authorities will no doubt wish the
salt River Valley officers well in their undertaking, but
will probably have their doubts of the of the
War Declared Gamblers" is not uncommon
headline III newspapers throughout the country. But
seldom is there headline All Gambling Stopped.
The so-caled anti-gambling usually fail, not
through negligence the part of officers, but
result of the failure of citizens do their duty
Bisbee knows from experience that it is almost as
difficult to convict man or woman on charge OF gambl-
ing as it is to run down fullgrown dodo Within the
last year there have been gambling aired in
the local without a conviction being secured.
Why! For lack of evidence! Decidedly not. \
half dozen trials have been held in which the evidence
was almost indisputable. Officers have watched men
gambling and then arrested them confident of securing
conviction. Trials have been held which the officers
have testified to having playing for money. The
defendants invariably have taken the stand and declared
under oath, that they merely playing for soda pop
candy Juries have retired deliberate and returned
shortly with either announcement that they could
agree that they had found the defendants guilty
Again and again have gambling places been raded
with the result Good citizens have cried for the
stamping out of gambling and Yet many of them. when
members of jury in gambling have taken the tes
tmony OF one or two nondesclptS, whose very attitude
and appearance made their statements questionable
weighed against the testimony of officers whose rep
tons have been for years that of who oathed lying
and perjury, and acquitted the alleged gamblers
Phoenix officers will probably be confronted with the
state of affairs in their gambling Hundreds
will shout Justify that the gambling evil should be stamp
ed out. and then around and acquit who are
charged with gambling almost without any regard for
the evidence against them And these citizens and
jurors will probably turn back again and cry
for the camping of lid on gambling
The whole difficulty is the failure of the average
to take the service police jury seriously. He
inclined to look every defendant sOme poor eN
il who just having little game" And this maudn
sentiment, usually coupled with attitude of unca!led
for humor, only allows the gambling law vioator to
free but encourages others duplicate the offense
The responsibilities of juror in police court case
should appeal to him. but seldom do strongly the
responsibilities of impanelled in superior court
trial If police court particularly gambling cases
be treated lightly by under oath to do their
duty. then officers who strive without success to stamp
out gambling should be immune from all criticism.
If Maricopa county does not already realize this.
then it will probably find the first time attempts
to conviction in socalled gambling 60

MOVIE REFORM

The biggest sufferers from the recent moving picture
scandals have been the theaters They have lost
heavily in patronage and prestige This fate they pro-
test is deserved, because under contract provisions
unknown in any other avenue of trade they obliged
and pay in part for pictures before the pic
lures produced, and they not consulted to-
what may be injected into the pictures to the char
acter of the cast.
There is much truth in this complaint. The present
situation however prove fortunate IN the end for 1t
has driven these film exhibitors to revolt. In public
statement the Motion Picture Theater Owners of Am
erica say:
I'm future we will abide by s1,h unbusnessliEe
conditions. We will stand up squarely independent
theater owners and will tolerate imposition OF picture
or people of keeping with proper community ethics
be as decent those who heaters the
pictures Upon this will insist We will not accept
the product of any studio under any other condition.
Sin this connection they add 1--WE will submit our
case to the court of public Opnion-our patrons-who
after ALL constitute the only of review and approval
that recognize"
They are right The public is the judge and the jury
Aroused by the California scandals the public has al
ready given its verdict by word and act regarding those
scandals and also regarding the indecent types of film
drama with which they to have an obvious connec
ton.
The public may be trusted to support loyalty any such
move as this for clean drama 1t will also support
concerted move for improving the artistic quality OF the
films whenever the exhibitors to take interest In

NO USE TRYING TO PLEASE ALL

The cold snap must have struck the editor of the No

editorial:
'When it's hot, want it cold When it's cold We
want it hot It's impossible for the weather to please
all the people all the time.
"a few days ago when NOgaes experiencing
spell of the waest fall weather known in this part OF
the state in years. the statement Il wish it would get
cooler became quite common about town.
''Ths morning, when father crawled out of bed and
found the house cold because cold wave had hit town

cold weather he wanted weather He had forgotten
all about the spell of few days ago and the wish
at that time for cooler days"
