Report. Fine Trip


 PRESCOTT-A trip from Phoenix to Prescott via Roosevelt and Payson is not only possible but pleasant, says Charles A. Stauffer, general manager of the Arizona Republican, who passed through the city today on his way to visit friends at Groom Creek. He was joined here by Mrs. Stauffer, who came over from Iron Springs this morning to meet her husband.
 Travelling the Apache trail to Roosevelt and thence to Payson," said Mir. Stauffer. T found the roads be- tween the big dam and Prescott in remarkably good shape, except for IA miles of muddy going between Stoneman lake and Camp Verde."- Courier.
 Go to Chureh-car Stolen
 PRESCOTT-Just because a car is parked in the shadow of a church is no assurance that it will not be stolen, MT. and Mrs. J. w. Ross discovered last night when they attempted to drive home after attending the even ing services at the West Prescott Methodist church. Under cover of the sacred music and the respectful at tention which a congregation is ac- customed to give its choir and pastor. Prescott's meanest auto thief made off with the Ross car about s: 80 o'clock. The machine is 1920 model Paige, and therefore will not be diff ficult to locate, according to Under sheriff Joseph Furst. "In fact" said Furst this afternoon. q expect well find someone just took the car out for joy ride and left it under a tree somewhere. Nevertheless we've covered every road leading out oi the state."-Courier.

Conditions Now and Thsn

We have frequently remarked that our complaint present untoward conditions is based less crete conditions than upon manner of thinking. We make unconsidered comparisons between condi- the war"
 The real trouble is that conditions are unsettled not bad; things have been merely turned around; we only hesitating to get our bearings We are paying heavier taxes everywhere; they doing the thing all over the world. We should have expected that we could not have indulged in such a merry dance we did in the war without offer ing remuneration to the fiddler.
 We spent more than necessary; we squan- dered lot threw it aimessy away in ignor- ance and incapacity and must make it good. But comparing present conditions of trade with those in 1913 the year before the war, somewhat ahead. That year. by the way things were begin ming to go bad and they little worse the next year until the war came.
 Many industries doing bigger volume of business than they did in 1913. This is shown by figures which became available a month ago cover ing the first half of the present year. year ,nding July the corn exports from the United were 5o616.2S1 bushels. about the in 1s13 The exports of for the year ending July l. 1920 amounted to only about 100000 bushels. So here was come back
 Wheat exports for the year ending July were 44o3s71o7 bushels. For the corresponding period in 1913. they were 142,s79.59s bushels.
 Building permits in 27 northeastern states for six months ending July this year totaed s1 O06 o5s ooo about ten per cent average for the same period of the preceding five years
 Bank clearings throughout the whole country for the first six months of the year s1soos16s6ooo For the same period in 1913 they sS61065S3 oOO Though that is gain indicating increase in ,ba volume of business over that of 1913 of 110 ner cent experts that wholesale and retail prices o,v average about fifty per higher than those , 1e1s SO the gain in the volume that year is about 50 per cent

What Ireland Wants

It hardly be believed that MT. de Valera and his associates entertain hope that Great Britain will grant absolute independence South Ireland. If so, there would have been the prolonged con- ference between the Irish president and Lloyd George during which MT. de Valera could not have insisted upon independence. We must suspect therefore that the Irish leaders have taken a stand which induce Grat Britain to apply pressure to North Ireland to enter dominion government with the South. They no doubt perceive what fail to perceive. that divided Ireland would always be of friction.
 In the end no doubt the British government will have granted every possible concession and have undertaken every possible condition to prevent recurrence of Irish rebellion. No doubt could suppress it the methods which have obtained dur ing the last centuries. but times have changed and those methods longer available. There be

Home Hrews

The clause in the Willis Campbell bill which permits the manufacture in the home of alcoholic connections for personal is believe the wisest and most effective to further the cause of prohibition that has been proposed since the ratif cation of the eighteenth amendment. Immediately following the enactment of prohibition laws. first by the states and later the nation the home brew industry started. Persons who had not been in the habit of drinking alcoholic liquors engaged in the making of them. partly in the of experiment tation to what would result and partly because the unlawful character of the industry whose status was not clearly defined. The supposed mild lawlessness added zest to it. It became a fad.
 The results have never been quite satisfactory. In thousands of homes, have been mixtures of malt hops and sugar. according to directions Pre- scriptions to treatment of the liquid resulting were carefully followed to the bottlins of it and the result has often been beer which seemed to taste right--in fact. better than the old beer of commrce. There fault to be found with the alcoholic content for the makers often more in that respect than the old brewers used to be.
 The connection came fully to expectations a producer of coma. But there lacking that in- itial collaboration. the first stage of intoxcaton, and all that possibly justify drinking. if it be justified at all.

ARE LOOKING
 FOR RAGING k-UT0MObIL.E .E|:

Police of every Connecticut city are searching today for the driver of 8 racing automobile which forced @ ma chine, owned and driven by Albera E. Blrks of 43 Yale street. into the Housatonic river near Shelton yester- day afternoon, endangering the lives Of six passengers. The racer did not stop to investigate Elle accident, or render aid to the occupants of the car.
 MT. Birks,- together with his wife, two daughters and Mrs. Martha A. Sherwood of 1,219 tratford avenue, were in the car when it plunged down a 20-foot en1bankment into the deep waters of the river.
 Had 1t not been for the timely ar rival and heroic work of George Frye of 1,12s Pembroke sheet, and his brother, Leroy Frye of 544 Fifth street. the entire party might have met death by drowning. Tho two men plunged into the river, and suc- ceeded in bringing every one of the six persons safssy ashore.
 MT. Bir!1s and Mrs Sherwood. the most seriously injured, were taken to the Ansonia hospital, while the re- n1airder of the party were rem owed to their homes in Bridgeport. The condition of the TWO in the hospital Is not serious, and they will be dis charged today.

AGENDA FOR
 ARMAMENT
 CONFERENCE

Washington. Nov. 12-Whi1e the
 armament conference will decide
 upon it's program of subjects to be
 considered, here follows the official
 agenda, which previously has been
 suggested by the United States, and
 which will be offered as a working 1 program on behalf of America, at the opening sessions:
 | Limitation of Armament. 1 One. Limitation of Naval Arna-
 ment. under which shall be discuss
 ed (a) Basis of limitation; (b) FIX Two. Rules for control of new
 agencies of warfare.
 | Three. Limitation of land arma- | Pacific and Far Eastern Questions One. Questions relating to China | First: Principles to be applied Sec ond: Application.
 | (b) Administrative integrity; Co l Open door,-eQuality of commercial 1 industrial opportunity; (d) Conces-
 sions, mono1ohes or preferential | ment of railways, including plans re- l lating to Chinese Eastern Railway; CD Preferential railroad rates; (g)
 Status of existing commitments. Three. Mandated Islands of the
 Pacific (unLess questions earlier set tled.)
 Electrical Communications in the Pacific.
 | Under the heading of Status of Existing Commitments it is expected | that opportunity will be afforded to consider and to reach an understand | ing with respect to unsettled ques- ttons involving the nature and scope of commitments under which claims of rights may hereafter be asserted" The fact that the subject 'Limfta- | ton of ArmamentS" precedeS the sub | ject Pacific and Far Eastern Cues | tions" does not necessarily indicate l Al 1., 4r,lr hot
 order. The conference itself will de- termine the order in which the discus ksions are to be pursued. and there may even be additions to the program as | the conference gets under way. President Harding. in his invitation 1 to the foreign governments, however,
 gave the impression, in the opinion
 of many observers, that Paclfc--and 1 far eastern questions must be dis | posed of first, when he said: Ut is quite clear that there can be
 no final assurance of the peace of the
 world in the absence of the desire for
 armamentS is not a hopeful one un- l less this desire finds expression in practical effort to remove causes of
 misunderstanding and to seek ground | their application"
 It is quite possible, however, that
 although the Pacific and Far Eastern | Questions, may be the first to be dis posed of, that the actual question of
 limitation of armaments may actually | first come before the conference, and | in this way.
 | Any determinations on limitations | of armament necessarily will come after long preliminary work by com
 m1ttees of experts and others who will probably submit recommendations and | extensive data to the whole confer ence. This will require probably weeks of study and discussion. In
 order to start the process, and get it
 Under way, the conference might necessarily bring the subject officially l before 1t, and then refer 1t to com mittees for work, and then meanwhile l go on with the discussion of the Far l Eastern and Pacific questions.

cies, which first brought on the var and into which this nation was fin ally drawn the Senator said in pre- facing his plea for open decisions at the Washington conference
 Behind closed doors,'' MT. Borah continued, 'the unknown's life wast treated as miserable inaninlate thing, a mere COG i1 the intricate and
 efnorseless machine of modern df-. p1omacy.
 If a few men in secret he added, arrive at understandings and agree Tlents, which, either legally or moral 1y, blind 8 whole people, then we are under the control and are the mere pIaythings cf an intolerab1e and un- cCnscionable autocracy. We will never get rid of war until we get rid of that practice. The spider of in triEue weaves only in the dark
 But I believe the unknown sol Gler will not be unknown nor uncon- sidered in the future. The most con- elusive lesson of the war is that the questions of peace or of war should be taken out of the hands of the few and placed under the eye and super sacrifices fall when war comes. This may not be accom- npGshed in a day. for the old practices, CT customs while no longer openly defended, are now be- ing protected through duplicity. But if we are to have peace, if we are to protect the lives and fortunes of our selves and our children, thsi change will have to come"
