We present this view OF the alleged road-hog

These trucks are considerably wider than the ordi-

Though the North Central avenue pavement

We feel sure that if the middle of the

not entitled to the whole of the road and the matter

who employs him. there would be a prompt correc-

But he is not the only one. Sometimes drivers
of heavy slow moving horse-drawn vehicles persist
in hanging to the middle of the road in disregard

Save the Palms

We notice with regret that great many palm
trees on the northern streets and being
cut down without any apparent necessity for their
moval 1t is necessary to remove them from prop
erty upon which the business district encroaehes
ana perhaps palm may be so situated that plans
for residence may not be carried out without its
removal But many palms being cut from vacant
lots or from sites in which they offer interfer-
enee They are evidently regarded as eyesores by
the owners.
The palm is beautiful tree from the beginning.
It lakes fifteen or twenty years for it to attain to
majesty when with its columnar pole and its feath-
like fronds it becomes object of admiration and
one OF wonder to people who come here from the
north and east There is comparatively limited
area in the country where the palm be grown
we have seen in northern climates great hothouses
which have been constructed for palms which attract
more attention than any other exotic flora contained
in such collections. To the people there it would
be almost unbelievable that they ever needessly
sacrificed in their native homes.
The removal of large, graceful palms is to in
flid a wound upon the landscape which will leave
an .unsightly scar. To remove needlessly from
vacant lot is to decrease its monetary value in the
eyes Of almost anyone who is looking for site for
a home

an elm an oak. maple ash?

DUNN AND DUMMER ON THE

''They want piecework," replied
DUNN.
"Piecework." exclaimed Dummer.

Goal miners don't wear white
shirts insisted DUNN.
They wear them, but two minutes
after they've started work they can't
prove it," argued Dummer. Another
thing / don't like about coal mining
is that the miners have to go around

Dummer. THE coal you get these

responsible for that" said DUNN.
They're a hard boiled crew. If they'd
be liberal enough to give the miners
enough money to keep them in soap

much dissatisfaction. All the money

Beginning of . New era

The understanding which has been reached be-
tween the representatives of the Tucson chamber of
commerce and the Phoenix chamber should mark the
opening of new era in Arizona the beginning of
alliance whcih should bind together the whole state
and direct a common aim for the bettern1ent Of
Arizona
The state has suffered too much from divisions
which for the most part have resulted from msun-
defstandings one section believing that another was
trying to oyer-reach it. We trust that all the
SECTIONS may united by spirit of mutual helpful
ness and cooperation.
Phoenix and its citizens have only good will for
Tucson and its people and it entertains the
good will toward all cities and sections Of Arizona.
1t welcomes therefore the succession of cooperation
to sectionalism.
! The time has come to bury the hammer SO deep
that it may never be recovered We have long appre
ciated the excellence Tucson the hospitality
of It's people and we trust that it may hencefcrth
and always see our good qualities.
II we have ever foolishly been rivals in the past
let us now enter upon rivalry of good will toward
one another each striving to outdo the other in af
fording concrete evidence of friendship and helpful
ness

To the editor:
They was stories that occupied a
good deal Of space in the papers late
" in the both Of which one Of the
leading rolls was played by actresses,
one of them a screen actress and the
other one a regular actress on the
stage and in one case it come out
that they was a certain guy that car
ried the actresses picture in his watch
and he also had another picture of
her which said on it to my sweet
heart or some such words and in the
other case the papers got hold of
a bunch of letters which the actress
had wrote to a gent and pretty near
every other word in them was honey
or sugar lamb and down at the bot
tom a row of ks which is suppose
to represent kisses but personally
always thought they was a very poor
substitute.
Well any way the first actress
owned up that she had give the guy
her picture and had wrote to my
sweetheart on it, but said that as a
matter of fact him and her wasn't
nothing more than good friends and
the relations between them was more
like brother and sister than anything
else.
The I'd. actress admitted that she
had wrote these here letters but as
for her being stuck on the guy she
had wrote them to, why that was a
joke. Her family and his family had
always knew each other and of course
she was acquainted with him but
only in a business way you might
say.
Well friends after reading all that
has been printed in regards to these
cases | have came TO the conclu-
sion that the most of us is a way be-
hind the times in our attitude not
only towards our friends and ac-
qOaintances but also towards folks
who we have business dealings with

The Case Of Mi., stons

Miss Olivia P. Stone. who was acquitted in q
New York court of the murder of distinguished
citizen Of Cincinnati who had betrayed her, she
alleged was never really in imminent danger of the
electric chair or any milder form of admonition
1t was perhaps fortunate for Miss Stone, though
that she selected New York the locus for the
taking off of her paramour rather than Cincinnati
where a jury would probably have taken less mild
view OF the matter.
Those who have the biography of AL Jen-
ni1gs, train robber move-man, evangelist, and
candidate for governor OF Oklahoma in his descrip-
tion of his service with o. Henry in the Ohio peni
tentiary will recall among the characters he intro
duced. that of a young woman serving life SEN
tence for the murder of a man in Cincinnati in al
most the same circumstances but with even greater
provocation than Miss Stone had for abbreviating
the existence of Kinkead.
We are finding no fault with the New York jury.
We cannot help but regard it as something nobler
and interpretive of justice. if less of the law
than the Cincinnati jury. 1t is not often. though,
that woman is made to suffer for such crimes
against men, Juries do not as a rule regard them
as crimes but acts Of retributive justice which
cali for the formality of trial only satisfy the
let Ger of the made law.
We sometimes pretend to criticise the mawkish
sentiment of juries in favor of in such
but down in his heart almost every endorses
the usual verdict in such cases
There seems to be attempt in them to offset
the evil of the double which is not
made and which good can uphold, yet all
men influenced by it in spite of the monstrous
injustice of it.
It is perhaps for this reason that usually
condone the acts of women. their fathers. their
brothers their husbands in such cases and allow
the recorded law to be overspread and obscured by
the unwriten law. for the double standard itself is
an unwritten law more irrevocable than any that
men have ever framed.
