Less Than a Majority

Apart from, and far important than the question whether members of the legislature move disqualification for other offices, by ex- PedienS resigning the effect these resigna- ticn legislation when so created are filled under the law. by appointment by boards of supervisors.
 It is said that there have been nine such resig- nations We easily grasp the possibility of .till greater number if members should .nd that their membership was disqualification tor something better. Is possible that the resignation Of single member might make it i'm possible to enact certain valid legislation? it act probable that if several of the members should resign. to be succeeded by appointees. it would be difficult pass any valid law?
 Section Is, Article of the Constitution pro- ride..
 majority of all members elected to
 each house shall be necessary pass any
 Many bills are passed in each house at every session by bare majority of all members Almost every important measure is passed by very majority. The present house partisan majority of only If nine lesser number of mem hers should be appointees nonentities there could be such thing majority for any closely contested measure Even the temporary absence of elected member might prevent the marshalling of ' majority.
 Even if the constitution contained no such re- ouirement; if there word in it implying that members of the legislature must be elected, the ap- pointment Of members would be inconsistent with a democratic form of government including popular branch of the legislature
 Members of the house of representatives of the national legislature appointed. All vacancies filled by special elections. may be ap pointed. since they do belong the popular branch They represent the people but states and vacancies in the senate may filled in designated by states whose senators die or resign.
 We may expect that the validity of any legisla- enacted in Arizona legislature by less than majority of elected members, will ques- ssoned in the courts. if the legislation worth while and has encountered popular opposition, nearly all important legislation does.
 For instance, suppose act authorizing an issue Of bonds should be passed by of less thsn majority of the members who had been elected either house. Or suppose general appropriation bin. which strongly objected to in part by large number of taxpayers the was should he passed. could it be supposed that either of these similar measures would go unchallenged?

eration. This Friendly House is one of the entirely good agencies which is giving character to the City of Tomorrow.
 Mrs. Greens work is done under the driving power of two supreme motives, religion and patriotism. Yet it is innocent of sectarian bias. It is work for the Mexicans who are per manent residents of Phoenix carried on in a home neighborhood. by woman who understands their GUS toms and speaks their language like a native. The foundations are laid in a building temporarily adequate and in a personnel known and trust ed by the Mexicans. Now to find support for it.
 For years Jane Addams has had a multitude of silent partners who help by writing checks The Friendly House must now have these silent partners also. Money will put the old building in order, provide some needed equipment, hang some pie lures on the walls, and pay carfare of the workers. The amount needed is a trifle. but it is far from trifling need. Being everybody's business no one attends to il, which leaves the fine beginning of a universally praised enterprise in a most pre- carious state. 1 suggest that we all turn to and help. and do it now.
 Suppose 500 of us all write checks today and mail them to Mrs. Green. We can afford dollar. maybe more The imperative thing is that we do it: obey that impulse; let not the sun go down upon this intention un- fulfilled!

THE FRIENDLY HOUSE


 Before the Christmas spirit retires from Phoenix for another twelve month there is a little matter to which we would call his attention. We want some provision made for the needs of a certain Friendly House until he comes again.
 The little house we have in. mind stands for good will. In it the Christ mas idea lives the whole year pressing good will, and it lives on good will, or as it is in Latin. bene- violence. It says to the Mexicans among us, We like you, and want to help you,' and Americans of good will run it and support it.
 Now this business of the Christmas spirit needs attention most urgently. A Mexican friendly house is a neces- sity in Phoenix. It was opened few months go with Mrs. F. C. Green in charge and is now doing the business for which it was established. The police are strong for it because it af- lords a wholesome outlet for the en- ergies of Mexican boys. It isn't a Hull house, but give it time and it may become one. for it's aim is a whole Jane Addams program of so- cial usefulness.
 Charity is a court plaster laid on the career of our social ills. It can't cure ignorance or incompetence, or mitigate the squalor of poverty. But the settlement is in a measure a rem edy. It lays a kindly hand upon youth, restraining viciousness, sug- gesting wholesome fun, neutralizing with loyal friendship the acids of racial bitterness that form so pathe- tically early in the hearts of some aliens. and generally helping to make

With that travel he kept green and active old age, preserving vigor which comparatively few men at four possess.

THE ONCE OVER
 THE. RUM RUNNER

(After John MaSeneld) We wuz schooner rigged and rakish, with long and lissome hull, And we flew the pretty colors of the crossbones and the skull. We'd a big black Family Trade" flag Tapping gayly at the bow, And a jolly crew a-singin' and a. shoutin', Here's a-howi" We'd a long brass rail amidships, like well conducted ship; We had eacl a cocktail shaker and pint upon the hip. It's point to our advantage-andi it's not to be deplored- That we'd stocked the ship with all the hootch the crew could shove aboard
 Broken bottles fouled the svuppers and corks rolled round the decks, And the crew rolled round and round ag'in, illumIned to the necks; We wuz hunted, chased and threat ened by enforcement agent guys, But we always got to port and sold our load of gins and ryes. We would sail along the coast, a floatin' barroom, strike me dumb. With a crew that smelled O ikker and ship that smelled O rum; And we'd always come to anchor in a wind that blew ashore.
