He was charged with an offense in September 1915, and the preliminary hearing was held behind closed doors. At the time Quayle was married. with two children. After his conviction he appealed, the supreme court affirming the decision of the lower court
 Quayle came to Phoenix alone, bear ing his commitment. Before his arrival the board of pardons and paroles was in receipt of a number of letters re- questing his pardon, claiming that the case was frame-up. Judge Ellis. who sat in the case in the lower court, is said to have also recommended the pardon, which was granted by the gov ernor.

It is too bad but-occasionally we find a merchant who tries to make the public believe that his house is the only reliable one in the city and that his line of merchandise is the best. that all others are inferior in quality. Now there Is no doubt but that there is high quality merehan- disc and low quality merchandise and it also follows that some mer- chants are more reliable than others. But there are numerous high grade makes" and also lots of low grade makes" Hirsh Wick wire clothes are very high grade but 1t would be folly for me to try to make the public believe that they were the only high grade line on the market. One store carries one brand and another store some other kind; some people favor this make and others favor that, etc. Because I smoke one brand of 25c cigars it does not necessarily make that particular line of cigars better than tho 25c line smoked by some other merchant. Everybody to his own taste.
 Competition Is what makes the business world go round but, as there arc different qualities of mer- chandise. and different classes of merchants. some reliable and oth- era not so reliable, so-there are different manners of conducting competition. We all Invite legiti- mate competition. We like it-it is | fine and necessary to the best in terests of the business world. But when competitors uso unfair means, when they employ eleventh-hour work, when their goods are not marked fairly, when they are not truthful in their advertising, when they mislead the public by clever advertising schemes, when their cards are not on the table-then ws merchants who ARE conduct inE legitimate businesses have a right to make a noise. We want fair play and we appeal to the in- teIligent public to place their com fidence in the concern that plays fair and spend their money as their best judgment dictates.
 Sometimes it might appear that I am a trifle personal in my insinu- ations and remarks but can al- ways substantiate my statements and stand ready to back up what say.
