Sir Ernest Shackleton, which is

ion, the Mail attributes to Lady
Shackleton. in Difference to what

COP. LEADER SAYS DEMOCRATS MAKING
 MISTAKE IN SIDESTEPPlNC NATIONS LEAGUE

Columbus, Ohio June 21-Hamilton Holt of New York, in a speech on the limitation of ornaments, deliver ed before the Columbus Chamber of Commerce today said:
 If the democratic party proposes to sidestep the League of Nations issue in the forthcoming campaign and rest its case on the sins of com mission and commission of the re- publicans, it is making the mistake of it's life. Every important issue now before the American people, with the exception of prohibition. and possibly, the bonus, is directly or indirectly bound up with the League of Nations.
 "The League should be the corner stone of Americas foreign policy. The pre-eminent 31 republicans-in- cluding MT. Harding's two ablest cabinet members, Messrs, Hughes and Hoover-perceived this clearly before the last election. Doubtless hundreds of thousands of prologue republicans refused to jump the traces November 1920, because they had faith in Messrs, Hughes and Hoover's s personal guarantee that MT. Harding would take the country in the League with reservations Though MT. Hard ing neither endorsed nor repudiated

the 31, he did promise to set up S Harding association to supplant the Wilson league
 Nearly two years have elapsed. Yet not a single one of the 31 has ever publicly uttered a peep of self Justification except Mir Wickershan, in his apology in last months Our World. And as for the far-famed Harding Association of Nations. l dS not know of single republican in America today from the president down-who is now urging such an association or is even attempting tS work out it's concrete terms.
 With America in the worst eco homie crisis of its history and half the rest of the world on the brink of famine, pestilence and revolution. the republican party does nothing but whitewash Newherry, raise the tariff and scrap few battleships. It is time for the leaders of the democratic party to lead and not to follow. Wood row Wilson and his policies are their greatest asset. If these are repui- lated. the party will slump hack tc the old slough of despond from which it was only rescued when is had sense enough to follow a real leader. Give the people issues. They will respond.''

ASSESSED VALUE
 TAXES A TUMBLE

The continued industrial depres- sion, the reduced sale price of cat tie, and the Appreciated valuation of merchandise stocks and real estate, is reflected in the assessed valuation of property in the county for the present year, according to the as sessment rolls recently turned over to- Clerk of the Board, A. l.. Terry, by R. J. Coleman, county assessor.
 The producing mines and railroads of the county are assessed by the State Tax Commission. These figures have not yet been added to the roll. Not including these assessments, the total is less by approximately $1,S00,- 000.00 than it was last year.
 The assessed valuation for Green lee county for the year 1921 was ap. proximately S35,000, ,000.00 The esti mate of the total assessment of the county for this year is less than $30,O00, 100000.
 Merchandise stocks in the county have been reduced in valuation ap- proXimately $450,0O0.OO during the past twelve months period. Cattle assessed last year at $30.00 per head appear on the assessment rolls this year at s25.00. Town property in Clifton, Metcalf and Morenci has been reduced in valuation and it is the expectation that the Tax Com mission will reduce the assessment on mines by several million dollars by reason of the shut down during the past year.
 A. L. Terry. clerk of the Board, is engaged these days in compiling the figures to be used by the Board ii preparing the annual budget for the next fiscal year beginning or July 1, 1922 It is some satisfactio, to knew. in the face of the reduced assessment, that the budget will be much less than for last year. The biggest saving will be made in oul road and school funds, but at the best taxpayers may expect an in creased county and state rate on ac count of the falling off in our asses sed valuation.

.AR|zONA'S LACK OF INTEREST MENAC|NG
 STATE, SAYS KNAPP

BISBEE, June 23-Declaring that the selfishness of Southern Califor- mia and the lack of interest and av- tion on the part of Arizona were the two most dangerous features in the Colorado river situation, Cleon T. Knapp yesterday urged members of the Luncheon club told everything in their power to awaken Arizonans to the importance of the river divel- opment in order that national off cials in Washington might realize that this state is determined that its rights along the rive CT must not be ignored or bartered.
 California, Knapp. pointed out, is wiring and mailing it's arguments in favor of the Swing Johnson bill to Washington, while Washington off cials have received practically no argument against the bill from Ari- zona.
 While in Washington recently, said Knapp, T was told that President Harding and other high officials were ignorant of Arizona'S views regarding the development of the Colorado. Ari zona must awaken, it must show some interest in the developmen ot the river In the old days a mar needed to be quick on the draw 1T Arizona Today we must also be quick on the draw if we are going ts stop the passage of the Swing-John son bill and protest Arizona's rights
 Tells of Grand Work
 Knapp declared that the Colorado river offers the real solution of Ari zona's future. It's proper develop ment he said, would result in the upbuilding of the entire state ans the increase of it's taxable wealth. Knapp described the location of ; power site on the Colorado river bl James B. Girand of Phoenix, 1913.

PRODUCERS EAGERLY AWAITING EFFECT OF ARRIVAL OF NEW RED METALON MARKET

Arizona copper producers are watching the copper market with in- teresr No change is apparent since May, although prices have tended to soften during the past two months. The demand which was looked for 50 anxiously has failed tc materialize, but no lessening in the demand of previous months has occurred. This demand is not sufficient to cause producers to feel secure in the re- sumption of additional operations. and until a steady consistent demand is apparent, producers cannot afford to enter upon production schedules which will assure the return of nor nal activities in copper camps of the southwest.
 Before the war period the demand was sufficiently constant to assure sales equalling normal production.

INDICT GLENDALE RANCHER IN
 THE kU kLux KHAN PROBE

H. E. Sanderson. a rancher living near Glendale. was indicted by the special county grand jury yesterday on charge connected with Ku Klux Klan activities The information was gleaned from several unofficial sources late yesterday afternoon. but the links of evidence gathered were of such nature that the connection of, Sanderson with the indictment re- turned was definitely established.
 The indictment was returned about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon accord ing to a record made by the clerk in Judge R. c. Stanford's division of the superior court. After receiving the indictment Judge Stanford set the bond of the defendant at S2.OOO- A warrant issued later in the after noon carried the name of H. E. San derson.
 It was Sandersons Ku Klux Kan membership card that was recently reproduced in a local publication which carried the information that the card had been found. The nature of the charge against Sanderson was not made public yesterday. As wit i nesses were called from Glendale to testify before the grand jury con cerning the whipping of a white man in that district there is reason to believe the charge may duplicate m some respects the charges brought against Tom Akers and Howard Taffe by the same grand jury last week
 Following the return of the indict- ment yesterday the grand jury tern porarily abandoned its investigation of the Ku Klux Klan activities. This xrr1 hr1Y rI.& H. H. Brooks. who was disqualified for i service on the grand. jury while mat ters pertaining to the Ku Klux Kan were before it, was admitted as s member of the jury yesterday after 1 noon.

RANCH HOUSES ARE REPORTED BURNED
 ALONG GILA RIVER

A Mexican, employed by the z-r rrilla Meat Market, arrived at the Sheriff's office on Wednesday after noon and reported to Sherif Brad berry that he had been a witness to the burning of several small ranch houses, some of them nothing more. than shacks, along the Gila River be- low the mouth of the Frisco.
 According to the story told the Sheriff by the Mexican he was rid ing below the mouth of the Frisco on Wednesday when he saw a man on horseback, an American. whom he took to be cowboy, set fire to a ranch house on the bank of the Gila below the junction of the Frisco. The Mexican observed him from dis tance and saw the cowboy ride O. down the river until he came to an other ranch house and again saw him apply the torch to the building whic. was quickly consumed by flames. An told, four or five ranch houses were destroyed in this manner. Most of the ranch shacks belonged to Mexi- cans but one ranch house was the property of the Bradberry Bros.
 Sheriff Bradberry and Deputy Sheriff Grady left Clifton early Thursday morning on horseback and confirmed the Mexican's story. What was the motive for the acts of this malicious miscreant is unknown. A trail was picked up leading away from the scene and sheriff Bradberry and De puties are still working on the case.

A great proportion of this copper went to Europe and this assured q variation of but a fraction of cent in the price of the metal. The nor nal surplus was considered 400 mil lion pounds and the supply rarely went over that figure. The surplus today is reported to be about 300 million pounds, with copper coming on the market during June and July which will possibly raise this sur plus.
 Movements of copper from mine to market requires three to four months and the resumption of opera tions in February and March should call for the delivery of bullion dur ing the next two months. When this flow shall begin, the future plans of operations can be more safely made up. for the action of the market upon the new supply should be a criterion of future occurrences.

Literary Criticism.

THE tendency of 1922 towards unvarnished de-
i tails in literature has started bitter con-
troversy. Such Dean Inge of Westmin-
ster Cathedral side arrayed against writ
of genius such George Bernard Shaw and
H. G. Wells, who defend the revolt against Victo-
ran ideals in fiction.
But this revolution has not come suddenly IT
has been rumbling for some time the horizon
and nothing else could have been expected after the
disillusionizing process of the world
World literature has emerged from the Of
romantcism. 1t is natural that it occasionally goes
too far into the period of realism Just some
of the best sellers" outdo the snappest Partisan
novels of few years ago in lurid details.
What else could have been expected. Young
men and women wake up of a sudden to the rea-
zaton that their favorite authors ars-that
such Thackeray and Dickens did not
paint real human beings, but marble substitutes.
Consequently they go to the opposite extreme when
producing fiction Of their own.
Fiction serves number of purposes. 1t pro-
vides entertainment. 1t sometimes improves
ais. But its main purpose is to furnish realistic
picture of contemporary life. This the authors OF
today try to do. If they succeed in this respect
they have fulfilled their highest duty and it does
not make much difference whether their works
are we'll adapted for Sabbath school textbooks
detailed picture of almost any side of life in
the United States at present is not apt to be pretty
1t has purple patches There heroism and love
and sacrifice But there also vice and corruption
everywhere. In any book which attempts to
describe this life an injustice is done when any Of
the shades disregarded.
On the other hand the present tendency affords
an undue temptation to those who have ambition
to paint true pictures. They sink to unwarranted
depths of saacousness because for stuff" of this
kind the public will spend money. This has been
the fault during every realistic period in literature.
1t is as easy to be dishonest in one extreme in
the other.
Purity in literature is not essential If the life
about which it is built is not pure-only the true
picture is wanted. But it is far more immoral to
paint degrading conditions which do not exist than
to conceal those which do exist.
Dean 1nge than half right in his
savage attack on sensuousness in modern British
literature.
Mr.. Wells and Mr.. Shaw also were more than
half right when they defended their attitude
but they may have failed to consider other writers
of less mental honesty.
