keep Up the Good Work

The people of Phoenix just must persist in the good work for the relief of the hungry. It is awful thing to be hungry and starving to little ones wasting away and dying for lack of food and many have so died in Phoenix.
 It is not long since the whole country and the whole world aroused by the plight of the people of the Near East Millions were hungry and thous- ands dying.
 But think those who suffer in Phoenix suffer more. Where whole nation Is afflicted, when want is stalking everywhere. there is companionship in misery. which is denied to mother who her little ones wasting away in land of plenty That must not be in the Salt River valley
 The people of Phoenix have done well in the three days since the plight of hundreds of Mexicans and others given publicity The im- mediate needs of the Associated Charities which was struggling against great and increasing odds, were satisfied, but only the immediate needs. those of today tomorrow, and perhaps the next day.
 But the need is recurrent it must be met and relieved until the volume of unemployment is greatly lessened. That may be expected within a month two.
 In the meantime the hungry must be cared for and that can be only by the fortunate working together.

Harvey and Sims

Many democratic, rather vrulent anti administration newspapers find pleasure in linking Inc names of Admiral Sims and Ambassador Harvey. The only basis for bringing them into juxtaposton a ,h,ic sneeches made in England by both within recent weeks
 Tbere all similarity ends. Admiral Sims the

Ths Way to Quit

Beer as medicine will probbaly be denied to the people of the United States. The blow lack rood deal of seriousness since beer had not been regularly included in the pharmacopoia, and not one person in thousand had taken 1t as medicine We were only getting ready to take it. We will not miss something we had.
 But beer as beverage different thing We missed that, but two years abstinence toned to doing without We further pre- pared for this deprivation by the 2.75 beer.
 ssWine ia mocher; strong drink is raging says the Bible. But PTS beer was more of naocker in its inadequacy. It served the only of harden ing for the worst which was yet to come.
 But having come it was the part of wisdom for us to recognize that it came to stay. and to resien ourselves to it. The worst thing we could do would be to resort to such expedients beer as medicine and tantalize ourselves with fugitive drausht and then with the aid of prescription by conscienceless physician
 nation should profit by the experiences of individuals in all time with the drink problem. There is only one way to quit and that is to quit.

DEFEAT AND VICTORY By Dr. William E. Barton

Bunker Hill still stands. with her granite ment. just where Daniel Webster left it when he de- livered the great oration which he had committed to memory while fishing Marshfield.
 Bunker Hill is of the glorious lost causes. Whoever fortified that hill instead of the Charlestown Neck committed notable military blunder. and gave his country something to glory about.
 Bunker Hill reminds us of the wisdom of military leaders but the stalwart of the who June It, 1775. stood behind their hastily erected redoub with Putnam. behind the rail fence with Stark. and proved themselves soldiers
 The fighting mostly at the fence. The hay had been cut and lying in windrows. and the gathered 1t and stuffed 1t between the fence rails. Raw troops do object to rskng their heads If their legs covered Hay is not invulner able protection against bullets. it helps the minds of the men who sheltered by it.
 The battle of Bunker Hill is recorded British victory but if did to discourage the victors and more put heart into the who defeated

The Amerie.n Senate Justified

The objection raised by the republican leaders of the United States senate to the construction of League of Nations concurrenty with treaty peace is justified now by Curzon, British foreign secretary. The allies. he says, pursued mis- taken policy when they rushed with precipitation to discuss questions which it was now seen would better have been solved by being postponed:r that
 would have been better first to the peace the world before taking for its regulation Then. Lord Curzon We would have been much further advanced in the conditions of peace"
 The foreign secretary also finds that the work thus inopportunely done to League of Ma the covenant was such that not even a trained lawyer knew what 1t meants There was such lack of information at Versailles ot the time that the covenant was being intertwined with the peace treaty that he whole asubject became involved in obscurity.~
 That was of the reasons why the ratifica- ton Of the covenant opposed by the same sera- tors who had tried in vain to dissuade Mir Wilson from entering b5ndly upon so unnecessary q course and trying amid the world confusion amid which the nations we're sroping toward peace perfect super government.
