THE NEW CONFERENCE
BY OR. FRANK CRANE CCopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

The conference of nations called by President Harding will be of the most important and inteli- gent steps forward taken by the human race If 1t IS successfully concluded
 Every one who loves the human kind, to say noth- ing of his country should earnestly work and pray that the gray wolves of partisanshp, the ferocous prejudices of hate and the pernicous activities of the blatherskites, shall not wreck it.
 The League of Nations crippled by the in- transigent prejudces of the still untaught world. At least it was effort in the right direction.
 Mr. Harding's move is another effort, and we shall support it as wholeheartedly did the League
 For unless we take some such measure this we are approaching another cataclysm horrible than the last.
 The activities of the Old Order, big with unthink- able frightfulness going on by their own momen- tum going on now, going on continually. Japan, according to recent newspaper statement, has complete building and provided for, enough raidng cruisers to drive the American merchant marine completely from the seas in months, if occurred.
 The obvious purpose of the writer of the article quoted, and of the paper in which it appeared to urge America to get busy and build more and greater ships to outdo Japan
 This sort of aSininity is called preparedness It is also praised as Common sense"
 It is sheer insanity.
 The only sane thing is for the two nations to get together and arrange for the peaceful just and legal settlement of their differences
 The cost of this would be insignificant; the cost of rivalry is ruinous.
 We may protest till we black in the face that
  ourselves but UNLESS WE TAKE THE ONLY AND ONE POSSIBLE WAY TO PREVENT WAR, WE ARE PLAIN LIARS.
 Getting ready for stopped war.
 Organizing to secure justice without war always stops it.
 The blow-up of 1914 was liable to occur at any time because all nations engaged in the business of preparing for it.
 There is no possibility of between the States of the American Union, because they organized to eliminate it. What Mir. Wilson tried to do and failed we hope Mr. Harding will try to do and succeed.
 And in this hope the vast multitude of the human race concurs

 It is true that the street in front of a place of business does not belong the abutting shop. Neither though does it belong any other citizen, occupy all day to the disadvantage of the general public the abutting shop owner. Officers who have made investigation of conditions in the district where the parking experiment is being made have found these condtons At practically the hour every morning. They the of business professional who get downtown before there is a general public movement, so that they find their stalls open; they leave them there until the lunch hour at least, and if they take lunch down town they leave them there all day-eght hours. Thus, each occupies in the course of the day space which the ordinance contemplates shall be used by sixteen
 There must, of course, be places for the cars which to stand for long periods for a half day of all day. but those places must be farther out a block two three farther away or in a private parking place; certainly not in front of place of business whose propretors depend upon the patronage of the public.

NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 6-New York is filled with members of the late Russian nobility nowadays. Ap- parently all who could manage it came here when the czar was killed, and since them a steady procession of counts, countesses, archdukes and princes, temporarily. halted in Europe, has been filing hopefully into Man haitian.
 They are always turning up in the most unexpected places. The new barber in the hotel barber shop on the corner, the man who collects your laundry, the ticket taker in the sub way, the taxi chauffeur the clerk in the florist shop and the young lady behind the cigar counter-are all apt to belong to this distinguished but now lmpecunious class.
 New York has seen nothing like them since the days of the French revolution when the eX-court of Maria Antoinnette settled down to unfa- miliar labor in the stables and bar rooms of New York and Philadelphia. The French, it is said, having brought with them their fine clothes, relieved the gloom of their exile by gay min uets at night. Well, perhaps our Russian nobility toddles, but it does not appear very gay.
 Not fal from where the reporter is stopping there is a tiny, dilapidated wooden shelter which houses a news stand and, during the day, silver haired, bright-eyed old lady, who is the proprietress. She is also Russ ian countess, who used to be handed her own newspaper on a carved bronze tray. Two years ago she came here from Switzerland with sufficient

May Cut Service


 TCCSON-"It 1t probable that if carrying of mail between Tucson and Nogales is taken from the railroad. the daily passenger service between the two points will be curtailed to three days a week. was the state ment made this morning by local Southern Pacific officials.
 Southern Pacific officials have taken exception to recent remarks about mail service between the bor- der city and Tucson.
 Officials in the traffic department of the company state that the daily passenger train service now main tained between Tucson and Nogales is principally for the purpose of handling mail. The patronage given the train by passengers is not suf- ficient to justify the daily service.
 The Southern Pacific de Mexico passenger trains running from No gales south are operated but three days a week. Consequently" say road officials, If the carrying of the mails Is taken from the railroad, pas senger service between Tucson and Nogales will probably be curtailed to three days a week to connect with the Mexican trains. ."-Citizen.
 Calls for New Bridges
 MIAMI-Construct of three new bridges within the city of Miami is thrust upon the Arizona Eastern Railroad company, according to an ordinance read the first time by the local councilmen at last nights meet fng. Introduction of the ordinance followed reports that the railroad bridges crossing Glass and Coffee canyons and Forest avenue were of the pillar type of construction instead Of oII fa1lI nf the roadway As the fire truck is reported to have rubbed the decking of the bridge it is required that the structure be raised. The penalty for compliance was fixed at fine of $500 with or without imprisonment. Another or dinance calls upon the company to erect suitable warnings gongs at street crossings. This ordinance was also read first time.-Buletin.

 SAFFORD-J. Myron Alfred found the skeleton of a young child last Sunday while he was out on Ben Sparks place near Artesia. The skeleton was found on the side of a ditch that had recently been made. It was only one and half feet under the ground. It was believed to be that of an Indian child.-Gila Valley Farmer.

 This speech is characteristic of the majority of the refugees. Each car ries with him the memory of hideous happenings before he made his es- cape. but of these things he never talks. Instead he will begin to tell you that the present bolshevist regime cannot last, that it is but a clumsy experiment which will fail of its own hamilton, and that in another 10 years he and his noble sisters and cousins will be back in possession of their Russ.an land

 President W. R. Jones of the Con- solidated Stage line explained to a Bulletin reporter that the amount of- fered by the postoffice department for the running of the service did not quite meet the expenses incurred, but he authorized the announcement that whatever the loss might be, it would be cheerfully borne by him and those associated with him owing to their willingness to do anything that would help the town along.-Bulleun.

Parking

We do not know how the merchants along First avenue business district feel about the experi ment being made there in parking, but imagine that they not likely to hall it successful one. If not, 1t will not be wholly because of the parking oblique stalls along the curb rather than in parallel spaces along the curb but because of failure to enforce the half-hour limit within that district is in that failure that all the parking trouble lies.
 Backing from curb is. of course awk- ward and provocative of rear-end collisions. Double parallel parking has its disadvantage, and this disadvantage becomes serious when automobile is allowed to stand long its owner chooses. Parking in a business district is always a problem, which. though. may be partially solved by the en- forcement of a e-lmit rule. And a street where there are shops this rule should be rigidly enforced. It does matter much elsewhere. But it matters a great deal to of shops and stores whether space in front of adjacent to their places of business is occupied all through the business day by automobiles of persons who using the street for garage.
 Perhaps half the people who trade at stores do not care particularly with whom they deal. They visit a store only because they find it more con- yenient than another. If they find one store inac cessible 1t takes but minute to drive to another
