Fame Indicated.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-A chemist. of re-
cent years has become the best
known detective in France. Edmond
Bayle is small, dark, quiet man,
he works in modern equipped
laboratory in the Palais de Justice ;
he is feared by criminals of all
classes, and his ultimate fame prom.
ises to surpass that of Alphonse Ber-
tillon, the French finger print ex-
pert. who died in 1914.
DR.. Bayle is chief of the technical
Bureau of the Paris Police Depart
ment. Here all the criminal infor-
nation OF the Republic is concen-
trated. classified and studied From
this bureau the expert chemist and
physicist gives directions in the field
OF criminal detection. So successful
has he been that the ignorant Grim
inal classes have come to regard him
as a worker in Black Magic His
unique methods have been studied by
the police department OF New York
City. DR.. Bayle rarely gives much
attention to the personality of Grim
inals or their particular psychology,
He works rather with material
things. His workshop consists of
many rooms and passageways,
equipped with all the paraphernalia
of big industrial laboratory, and in
cludes photograh gallery. He has
spectroscopes, microscopes and X-ray
machines by the dozen, each fitted
for special purpose such as examin-
ing blood spots, forged documents,
money. powder burned
clothes, and the wreckage that is
picked up on a criminal trail

EDUCATION NOW AND THEN

There may be few weak spots in the trade at home" campaign in Arizona, but it has accom- plished much already and is making more rapid progress every day. Results so far have con- vinced the best business brains of the state that it is the best and most profitable idea yet ad- vanced for the good of all concerned.
 With the greatly diversified business inter- ests Arizonans can and should help each other. Loyalty to home and the boosting of loyal friends is of lasting benefit. This sort of profit goes on year after year and accumulates It isn't spor- adic, it is the kind of prosperity that comes to stay and bud
 It is impossible to bring about an ideal cond- tion within a few months. A campaign of edu- cation is necessary. When we say education, we mean that kind of education that beats all the laws ever passed by man. A real working know ledge of facts, not propaganda or bought and paid-for figures to distort actual condition. It would be fine thing if it were possible to edu- cate the people by passing a law. However, passing laws has been mainly successful in mul- tiplying criminals. The only real advancement any nation on earth has ever made is through actual education-an education which makes men bigger, broader, better and more tolerant of his brothers Not an education which only fits one to better enable him to outwit or out-general his neighbOr in piling up wealth to the detriment of all concerned. Being able to "skin your neigh bor' is not the kind of an education that does much lasting good is the verdict of the biggest and best minds of our age though that idea of education was considered mighty good form some few years back
 If education does not tend to lead one to do biggest and better things for ones fellow men, it is not real education

PHOENIX CHANGES TOWEL FOR
 ONERCOAT

The Rotary club Friday had an al-state meet ing here. Of course, the ROtarians were in jo- vial mood and were exchanging jokes. Phoenix came in good naturedy for the brunt of the most of the jokes. Men from Flagstaff spoke of leav- ing the snow behind to come to Phoenix, and even Prescott spoke of it's cold weather but both Flagstaff and Prescott agreed that neither had such cold weather as Phoenix has, judging by the past several days.
 It must be admitted that the Phoenix ther- mometer did go to about 55 or possibly 50 de- grees above at the codest hour of the early morning, but we fail to see how men from Flag staff and Prescott dressed in bear skins to keep them warm in their own countries could con- plain of 50 or 55 degrees before the sun came up i'll Phoenix.
 PhOenicians arose to protest that Flagstaff and Prescott were so cold that they could not ap- preciate summer weather in early November, as they had found in Phoenix. The northeners said they never came to Phoenix in summer but that they had heard it was slightly warm. And so the weather talk continued.
 Fact is, as our bear-skin friends really and tru- ly know, no place is more delightful in the state in winter than Phoenix This winter climate needs no advertising for people come here from everywhere because there is something about the winter climate that makes this vicinity att tractive to them. The nights at times are quite cool and the early morning hours are snappy but oh, the midday and afternoon This winter
 
 ating, refreshing and healthful, warm and con- fortable in thin clothes, without coats and outer garments during the daylight hours from 10 in the morning until nightfall, and cool and crisp during the night, when a nice warm bed is acceptable and entcing.
 There are not many places which have just such delightful form of winter climate. It never snOws, except as a freak performance preceding rain. It is cold enough at night to make an agreeable contrast to the balmy sum- mer weather or middy in Phoenix in winter and to give total rest from the long heated period of actual summer which commercially is one of the chief assets of Phoenix
 Phoenix is proud of and would not part with its climate. How the crops thrive during that long heated period! And again, how the crops thrive during the winter months! Two kinds of crops, all profitable, ranging from the cotton of the Nile, that needs heat and plenty of it for a long period; the corn, two great field crops an- nualy, which also need heat and plenty of it, and long line of kindred crops needing great heat; then in the winter the finest vegetable crops that are grown in the world, the crops which are particular, requiring quite quantity of sun and just nip or so of crisp, cool weather Then the oranges and the grapefruit! Oh, Flag staff, where is thy victory? Oh, Prescott, where IS thy sting ?-PhoeniX Gazette.

A DEFEATED. CANDIDATES SOLILOQUY

We told you so. It was rumored all day Tues day that about half the candidates up for cleo tion would be defeated and it has come true as predicted. The reasons for the defeat of so many candidate was obvious, to those elected, some days ago and their predictions were con- firmed Tuesday. It is always difficult to beat men who win. Many have remarked that voters are more or less cross-eyed-they don't seem to vote where they appear to be looking Otter the defeated draws larger crowds than the other fellow does which leads one to believe it is just out of morbid curiosity and desire many have to view the corpse. Anyhow it was pleasant day Tuesday until late in the evening and equal to any old weather produced by Phoenix.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB HOME

The Flagstaff Womans club, true to their promise, has started out on a campaign to raise funds for a club building next spring. The new club building will have room set apart for a museum. The people of Flagstaff have been the victims of many drives" but not for the espec- ial benefit of Flagstaff as this drive is. The public can we'll afford to be liberal, for the desir- ed improvement is solely for the benefit of Flag staff. We could have many such improvements if "home" people would think of home first The ladies have started about it in a business-like way and deserve prompt success.

COURT NOTES

In Evans VS.. Slusher, the jury
brought in a verdict on Wednesday
afternoon in favor of Slusher. Sew
eral years ago Slusher and others sold
Evans some oil stock shares in an oil
we'll. 1t turned out to be a "dry''
hole. Evans took the people to task
and tried to get his money back. All
he got was a note for $7500.00. Mr..
Evans died two years ago and his adj
ministrator was pushing the case. The
Slusher crowd claimed the note was
signed because there was a threat
made to put someone in Jail.
Last night wednesday, the mo-
ton for new trial was overruled in
State VS.. Bingham. J. T. Nolan and
C. NJ. Holmquist, who were appointed
by the court to defend Bingham, pre-
sented the motion. The grounds
were, among others, the total lack of
evidence to connect the defendant
with either burglary or larceny. It
was claimed that Bingham was in on
the burglary and that he was on the
lookout" The record was challeng-
ed to show any connection with any
crime. The defense maintained that
the greatest harm was done the de-
fendant by insinuating, slurring and
inferring questions put to witnesses.
The "dead sure" witness who could
tell and remember everything got
proper attention. 1t has been in
timated that this case may reach the
Supreme Court.

nerve invigorating- nature re-
spends with alacrity to the long look
ed for change. The farmer whistles
cheerily as he goes about his accus-
toned tasks, thinking of the bumper
crops that will award his labor
another year. Even the promoters of
Mission Mount and Pershing Heights
are smiling and counting prospect

all humanity smiles, including the

THE TARIFF OF 1922

The FOrdneyIMcCumber Tariff is
now law. It is the most comprehen-
sive and far-reaching Tariff Act pass
ed in the whole period of American
history. It extends Protection where
Protection is needed. More consider
alton has been given to agricultural
products than in any previous Tariff
Bill. Except in a few cases adequate
Protection to manufacturers. Its
weaknesses can be rectifed through
administrative avail of the elastic pro-
visions that constitute a new depart
ure in Tariff making.
1t is our purpose, as it will be our
pleasure, to assist wherever possible
in presenting to the proper author
tiles the weak feature of the measure
in order that they may be promptly
remedied. In this we desire to CO.
operate with all of those whose Pro-
lection is inadequate.
The new Tariff Act deserves not
only the loyal, but the aggressive,
support of all Protectionists. So long
as political capital may be made out
of misrepresentation of the provi-
sions and scope of the law, it is the
duty of Protectionists to proclaim it's
many virtues and unquestionable
benefits, in season and out. The peo-
pie require much more information
than they now possess regarding the
need of and benefits arising from an
adequately Protective Tariff and the
injurious effects of Free-Trade. This
is not only necessary in advance of
November, 1922-it is equally neces-
sary in advance of November, 1924.
A new Tariff Act cannot at once
demonstrate its helpfulness in pro-
viding employment through the pro-
motion of industries. 1t takes time
for its prospective beneficiaries to
prepare to take advantage of its pro-
visions. Capital must be increased,
orders must be secured and produc-
ton must be increased before the real
blessings of an adequately Protective
Tariff are realized. 1t is during this
period of preparation that the most
vicious, bitter and destructive as
saults will be made upon the law. 1t
is during this period that Protection
lists must be most active and aggres-
sive in defending and explaining the
new law.
Thank God that Free-Trade has
been banished and Protection restor-
ed Economist.

HoXIE 3. K. oF C.,s 3

Hays baseball followers were de-
hghtfully surprised last Sunday after
noon, when Hays K. of C's batted
and batted until they piled up seven
runs in the fifth inning thereby put
ting the game on ice. Just previous
to this inning the count stood 8 to 1
in Hoxie's favor and it seemed as if
our favorites were doomed to lose.
This would have been true to the ex-
pected as Hoxie trimmed the fast
Oakley aggregation to the tune of 4
to o at the Hoxie fair, last week The
best Hays was able to do this season
was to divide the honors with Oakley.
It was in the fifth inning that the
unexpected happened when Lorberg
hit safely followed with Urban's
double to Center. Carman was hit by
pitched ball Reidel, Oehler, Bieh-
ler, Goetz and Pfannenstiel each
drew singles. Walters sacrifice, Lor-
berg's f1y-out and Urban's out ending
the rally. Quackenbush retired in
favor of Hedgepath who pitched
scoreless ball from this stanza on.
Urban hurting the stitched bulb for
the locals was credited with ten strike
outs and incidentally the winning of
the game.
The engagement last Sunday,
brought one hour and thirty minutes
of occasional baseball which was
mighty interesting. There was a
catch by Woods, Hoxie's left-fefder,

States Congress after the war they
did nothing for him The record of
Democratic officials under Wilson,
handling federal agencies dealing
with ex-service men, was a record of
brutality and incompetency and
gross squander of money which was
officially condemned by both the
American Legion and a special COM
mittee of the United States Senate,
upon which sat the Democratic Sen
ators Walsh, of Massachusetts, and
Pomerene, of Ohio, both of whom
signed the report of condemnation.
Woodrow Wilson, as President, ig-
nored repeated requests of the Amer
lean Legion and other ex-service men
organizations, to correct the scandals
in connection with Democratic exec
utives handling ex-service mems
cases. The attitude of the entire Will
so administration was like that now
exhibited by the Democratic ''Solid
South" 1t is the characteristic atti-
tude of the Democratic party towards
the soldiers of the nation, as Civil
War veterans can abundantly testify,
and Spanish-American veterans can
corroborate. The nations defenders
have always had to turn to the Re
publican party for whatever aid and
relief they secured from the federal
government Republican.
