Of Course

The acquittal of Clara Smith Hamon of the foregone affair There many circumstances certainly pointing that eventuaty.

 It makes good deal of difference what kind of a man the victim of homicide has been. There is
 large of citizens whom it is said they ought to be killed and though the law to itself worthy live. it frequently happens that when of these persons has been overlooked by the law, falls victim to private vengeance, the law is made to wink the affair and affirm has this enforced against him.
 That have been the way the sovereign state of Oklahoma and its elder sister Texas felt about it beginning. Instead of gasping with horror Oklahoma seemed rather proud and grateful to the murderess having staged the tragedy in that commonwealth and Texas manifested some pride in the fact that had of a branch the Smith family indigenous to the Lone Star state.

Of her marks this subject which has always been of the liveliest interest from the time the first selected his mate this March 19. 1921, find in story only that the crowd 1aowed its apprecia- ton of her broad and scriptural views the sub ject by unanimous rising vote that the address of personal benefit"
 That tells nothing that we want to know How was the crowd benefited? Presumably the crowd a, mixed one of women and men. Did the women vote that henceforth they would accept in all its lteralness, biblical injunction: Wives obey your husbands?"
 Or did the in the audience obso- Iete the claim masculine sovereignty which seemed have been confirmed by the foregoing injunctipp, and condemn it to place alongside the exploded kngcraft and slavery which persisted for a time only the same authority?

 One who knew him then says now: q still member his chapped wrists where the coat sleeves forgot to meet his mittens. Such dreamer! The passengers used get mad. He would forget to pull the rope. They missed their corners

 The answer that question is suggested by his later achievement.

THE WINNING POEM

It gives the Cancels Back unusual pleasure to announce A. NJ. C.. 315 North Twelfth street, Phoenix, as the winner in our Third Annual spring poetry contest, the best entries in which were published in last weeks issue Of the HumP. To Miss A. M. C. goes the dollar, which the business osfice has been instructed to forward post haste.
 As announced in our last issue, the eminent board of critics could not de- eide on the winning poem and so we selected the six best, published them and left the final decision to a vote our readers. A. NJ. C.'s poem received 10352 votes. The runner up was Spring by Mrs. w D. S.. with S712 votes. The half vote is explained bH the fact that one of the voters said he couldn't decide which of the two was really the better and so he would cast a half vote for each It is quite singu lar. is it not, that he should have been torn between the two winning poems?
 A M. C-s poem carried the title. Spring Sprouts and to the author goes our congratulations as well as the dollar. Our word of cheer and com \, mendation is passed on to Mrs. ". D. J &, the runner-up, for her entry wsS the third one in the three years that we have held these contests
 Tn passing. let us say that the rest of the votes were generously distributed among the other entries published. We cannot refrait from remaining that in our opinion "Heralds of Spring" by Elizabeth Mccarthy contained some of the most poetic thoughts and lines. List, for instance to:
 Fra grance ovorturns
 The sweet contents of her petallec
 urns."

Never in The Republican

IISSSollf <aiANohd- Mir. Editor, Dear Sir:
 I didn't like an editorial you had in your paper a few weeks ago. It made me so mad I felt like never reading the Arizona Republican again, and doubtless lots of other people felt the same way, too. It was an article de- ploring the loss of revenue because of prohibition.
 If you hold a dollar close enough to your nose it will eclipse the sun and almost everything else within vision.
 The revenue from the liquor traffic was not a drop in bucket compared to the cost to the American people due to its depredations.
 Prisons, work houses. poor houses, houses of refuge, inebriate institutions and wards in hospitals all over the United States are closed by the hum dreds because of lack of inmates due to national prohibition. There are happier, better provided for homes, smaller police forces needed-oh, countless expenses saved our nations tax payers besides untold benefits and blessings never to be measured in dol- lars and cents too vast to enumerate.
 Yet you grieve at the loss of revenue.
 You will get yourself in wrong with your readers if you print any more such lack of reasoning. If I were you I would take it back
 Yours in earnest,
 MARY POTTER
 Prescott, Ariz.
 Cine writer of this letter is mistaken. She never saw such an editorial in The Republican. She ought to be mad at somebody else. It is true that by the abolition of the liquor traffic there has been a loss of revenue to the govern ment, but 1t is loss which the nation suffers at a profit. IL is more than made good in many other ways-in in- creased efficiency, in lessened court costs, in a decrease of costs for caring for prisoners. in increased happiness and in a thousand other ways.-Ed)

 I have worked consistently for an economical administration of our af- fairs, and if reelected at the election 1 of April 5, shall continue to do so. 1 I ask the water users to investigate my work while a member of the board. and if they approve of my actions, to re-elect me.
