HOur AlIeYn

The other day neighbor to the west of printed story in which, referring to the thoroughfare which runs the longer way of Phoenix past The Republican spoke of it Alley that is, with upper-case A. We feel that this s infringement upon of vested rights, which vested in ourselves, claiming it as "our Alley"
 Our neighbor, we understand, abuts upon the thoroughfare in way, rather indirectly, has abutted it for years, without, however, laynig claim to it establishing any other rights than that of ingress and a sort of eastment in gross, to speak. such nearly all other per- owners of stores and restaurants abuttns upon Our Alley enjoying
 Though have been here hardly year yet early perceived the beauties possibilities of the thoroughfare and. finding that it had not been pre-empted attached and gave it the name of "Our Alley"
 Now. do not want to deprive any of their rights and privileges in it thoroughfare. the contrary, would like to have many more peo- pie 1t and enjoy it. Our neighbor is welcome to the continued and proper use of it at all times In the of stories our neghbor may refer to it alley. but protest against the use of the upper-case A in such refefence. or the use of 'our" preceding any such reference to it.
 Let this be legal notice to our neighbor, that intend protect acquired rights in "Our Alley if have go the Kangaroo court about 1t.

fornia Automobile association With that road thus improved we suppose automobiles can traverse 1t at the rate of 50 miles hour and without the use of any gas whatever except that generated by the promoters
 There will also be a great saving of tires for it will be an air route that is to say, hot air Tires travelling air are less exposed to friction than those which run on earth, concrete or asphalt And then think of the lghtness of the construction cost Te whole theory of highway building will be revolutionized. People will longer have to pay from $15OOO to s4O.O0O mile for highways when they can have them at the expense of few South ern California Automobile association signs planted here and there along the trackess desert. As live learn.
 What has the National Rankhead Highway citation been doing all these years in their great meetings devisng ways and means for the construc- ton of a transcontinental route when all they had to do was to apply the Southern California Auto mobile association for signs which would point the way to Los Angeles and make that city easy of access?
 And this revolution in highway construction has about somewhat by accident, because Maricopa county has preferred that part of the Banhead route traversing it should be "signed' by the Ari zona Automobile association rather than by the Los Angeles association.
 But the Southern California association did not propose to sign whole of the Bankhead lying west of Fl Paso. By no means Only as far as Yuma. If the Bankhead highway from that point is to signed to its terminal the work will have to be done by San Diego. All lines of signs erected by the Southern California Automobile association converge upon Los Angeles. It Is at Yuma that the great interest of the Automobile associations con- for the Bankhead highway is transferred to any route leading to Los Angeles.
 It Is not without interest. though that we learn that there is to be another Bankhead highway in Arizona if Maricopa doesn't to terms. Also with interest learn that Fl is going to the Bankhead highway north at that point that it will miss southern and central Arizona altogether We fancy transcontinental tourists being diverted at both Tucson and Fl Paso. We already diverted for is to smile. as we French say.

Chicsoo Plaintiff

Mayor Thompson and his machine constitute a powerful figure in Chicago. but he Is not he posed, the city of Chicago That theory we advanced at time of the bringing of the million dollar libel suit against the Chicago Tribune last summer
 The was thrown out of court so promptly, that interesting stage of testimony to whether the attacks of the Tribune upon the government of Chicago had resulted in any damage to the city was not reached. It merely held that the munich pality could be the plaintiff in such action.
 It Is perhaps well for the city that it escaped Identification with Thompson and his machine, for later it might have become defendant in action for compensation for services rendered when the Tribune and the News shall have succeeded in break ing up the Thompson machine and freeing it of that Old Man of the Sea. By that act the two news papers which have already made considerable head way will have performed service for Chicago worth infinitely more dollars and cents than the paltry million dollars worth of damage each of them oueged to have done to the credit of Chicago.
 We think it was fortunate for Thompson that inc action came to end in early stage trial of the case it's merits would have let in flood of light upon the misdeeds of the government that probably could be disclosed in any other

divine command to gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. No life is so poor and empty and broken that some fragments do not still remain to be gathered up. It is easy to scatter them; to think it not worth while to gather them into baskets. It is easy, God knows how easy, for the poor. bruised and wounded soul to grow bitter, and hard, and cold, and narrow, and un- lovely and hateful. II is easy enough to reject Gods fatherhood and no longer to believe in mans love and service, but easier still, if we only will not forget that we are Gods children living in Gods world, will it be to preserve hope and faith and love, in spite of the shadows and the encircling waters of darkness on which the divine feet are still walk ing and over which the divine voice is still sounding, Tt is l. Be not afraid"
 Let us. then. hold fast to courage. Christian courage. for the sustaining of our own individual lives, however dark and isolated they may be. and let us add courage to our faith in
 the final redemption from evil of the world and the human race, how ever black and overshadowing may
 be the sin, the unbelief. the hate, the
 pain, and the sorrow, that now sepa-
 rates man from God and his brother.
 I am optimistic enough to believe
 that Jesus Christ has not lived, and
 loved. and suffered, and died in vain. I believe that Gods fatherhood and mans brotherhood, which he came to declare, must and will some day be acknowledged and realized. If you and I are true to the great commis sion given to us, the mighty respon- sibility that rests upon us, the great ! part that is now ours in this great century of unfulfilled hope and l promise, then that fair vision of | which men have dreamed ever since the world began and of which they | will dream until the glorious reality l shall dawn upon Gods world, will | never grow dim and fade away i through mans cowardiee. selfishness and faithlcssness. The To st paradise will be restored nobler and more beautiful than that Eden into whicf
 sin entered long ago through mans | disobedience. The golden age is not | behind, but before; Gods Kingdom \ of love and righteousness and truth
 shall yet prevail over hate and dis honor and falsehood.

THE CITY OF TOMORROW
BY G. D. YoAKUM

symbol of unity that is ennobling and helpful and that does not hyphenate their patriotism. It will make better Americans of them, for the syna- gogue has been a democrat from it's natal hour. and the foe of tyranny. It stands for a religion, as distin- euished from a creed, and all men need a religion. The synagogue has not housed a rock, not even tables of stone. through the centuries, but a plant which lives. changes, evolves and bears such fruit as the time re- quires.
 We particularly welcome this syn agogue because it is to be of the progressive type. In it men will pray to the God of their children, as well as to the God of their fathers It will not be here in Phoenix refuge for sad exiles, whose harps are hung on the willows but an inspiration for men whose arena is the good world of 1921, and whose Promised Land is under their feet. As pr. Liknaitz speaks may the people hear, as a vast overtone from the pulpit, the am cient words which Moses heard, Speak unto the people, that they may go forward"
 The synagogue is a welcome addi- ton to the institutions that are build ing the City of Tomorrow. It is by nature an idealist. The. religious life of the city will be strengthened by it's advent; the forces that fight here for decency under a banner inscribed to the Unseen and Eternal will now have a more extended front. All the Christian churches should be glad of it's presence. neither cursing it for an infidel nor surrondering to it. but wing with it in the bearing of fruits and the exhibition of a spirit that | the world most needs and applauds.

SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS,
 WELCOMED

How ancient and honorable it sounds! Phoenix is to have a syn agogue, and institution whose roots are in the immemorial past. They have laid the foundation for it at First street and Culver, but its foun- dations were laid in ancient Babylon centuries before the Christian era dawned So the foundation of Phoe- nix is deepened and widened and in- creased in beauty and honor by the laying of these venerable stones.
 It is well to be linked up by a syn agogue to Antioch and Alexandria and all the other great cities of the past. It is a window opened into antiquity. Through it we are able to see Ezekiel among the exiles in Bab- ylon, and Philo the philosopher standing up and teaching the people in Alexandria, and Jesus teaching in Nazareth; the synagogue, in more than our figure of speech, has been one of the high, clear windows of the world. Through it men have looked heavenward and through it also, ha- ven has shone upon men. Let the student of history pause before this modest house, which now will stand among the houses of our city, and reflect upon the truth it has era dled, the liberty of which it has been the forum, the faith of which it has been the pulpit, and. finally. the bloody heroisms of which it has been the altar. and then confess it as a source of light such as the city should honor.
 We congratulate the Jewish pee- pie upon the synagogue In it they may walk together" in loyalty to their ancient faith This will be a

MEN LOSE HEADS IN STORES

''Of course," said the fIoorwalker in the big department store somewhat apologetically to the clerk in the stock counter, 'I suppose it's talking against my own sex, but you can't tell me men are more efficient than women, at least not in the stores.
 When a man comes in here he never thinks of coming to me and asking where he can find the desired article. Instead, he roams all around the store, asks salesgirls who are not supposed to know the different de- partments and gets mad generally because he doesn't get what he wants in a hurry.

Inasmuch as one special session has al- ready been held during your administra- tion, and the further fact that on ac- count of a technicality in submission and election of the bond issue, the same has been declared void, and the expressed will of a great majority of the people has been held for naught and the fur ther fact that Winston county over whelmingly voted for the bond issue at election for ratification as well as cleo tion to increase interest on part of the bonds, we pledge you, if the special ses- sion is called by you soon, that the peo- pie of Winston county will. hold the cleo tion without cost to state and county, and if necessary we would be glad to pay the expenses and per diem of the member of the legislature from this county so f at no money will be required to be pai1 out of either the state treas ury or the county treasury on account of the election to be held. We regret that an error was made in the submission Of the amendment, but we do not think It right that the will of the people De thwarted by an error of some one, when it can be corrected by proceeding in the right way.
