For years hockey and lacrosE" have
been neglected so far as coaching Is
concerned. Not that either George
Orton, who looked after the skaters, or
Clarence Goldsmith, who turored the
stickmen, neglected their charges, but
because they were unable to devote all
their time to the sport.
George OrtOn looked after hockey the

reminded him of the old story about

Senator Williams said Senator
McCumber was the least qualified of

WE ARE A NATION OF RENTERS

One of the discouraging aspects of
the housing problem is that we have
become nation of renters. OF the
24,351,616 families listed by the 1920
census 12,943,69S rented their abiding
places Only 1886 $50 owned their
homes. Over million of these homes
were mortgaged, but in so far as
these mortgages stood for ambitious
families who were buying homes on
the installment plan there is nothing
inherently discouraging in that fact.
On a falling market it is true that
some unfortunate families may be
entirely closed out of small equities,
and these caualties may cause some
reaction against home ownership.
but it may be assumed that by far
the greater number of families win
continue their homes of mortgage
encumbrance.
In the census figures, however.
there are some bright spots. Renters
are on the increase by and large, but
in spite of the ubiquitous apartment.
fifty of the sixty -eight leading cities
in the United States show more home
| owners in 1920 than in 1910. Taking
the ten cities showing the largest
percentage of home ownership in
1920 we find that during the decade
1910-1920 home ownership increased
in the following ratio.

thought nothing could surprise him.
Therein he was mistaken.
He was sitting at his desk one day,
deep in work. His office was one Of
those heterogeneous places that the
atrical managers offices are apt to
be. There was a couch, in case his
work kept him at the office all night;
there was sink half concealed by a
dusty old screen; a secondhand
wardrobe containing clean collars
for a sudden need.
Suddenly the door opened and a
young man entered. The manager
looked up. recognized ham actor

Just a minute" he said. Sit

The actor sat, and his eyes roved
about the room. Mind if | wash my

The manager continued his work,
but suddenly splashing in the corr
ner made him raise his eyes. The
actor had removed his collar, rolled
up his sleeves and was making an
elaborate toilet. The manager
shrugged
Suddenly there came a grunt from

German Liner Will
Retain Name At the
Request of Harding

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The
former German Leviathan which
was used in transporting American
troops during the war. will retain
its present name and not be named
for President Harding at the re-
quest of the president himself, the
shipping board announced tonight.
Instead the Hawkeye State, known,
as the boards capital ship. will be
named the President Harding, while
the Golden State, recently named for
President Taylor will be christened
the President Cleveland.
In a letter to Chairman Lasker
| making the request, President Hard
ing said he felt "the board made a
mistake in changing the name Of
| the Leviathan, a name that an
overpowering national sentiment. a
i sentiment that symbols the partici-
patton of this great vessel in the
world war and during that period in
which she was engaged in return
| ing our forces from battlefields.
/ "The Leviathan stands in name
and fact not only as national senti-
ment but a national symbol" he

WASHINGTON, May 16-The tar
iff is generally considered dry sub
ject but the senate was hilarious dur
ing it's consideration today. The hi
larity started when Senator Har-
rison, Democrat Mississippi, describ-
ed by Chairman McCumber of the
senate finance committee as "the
funny man of the senate, started
reading a list of commodities to be
let in free of duty If the bill were
passed in its pending form.
Lets see what the people are to
get tax free under our BILL" said
Senator Harrison, addressing the Re-
publican side.
First, you are going to let bones
come in free. And Brazilian peb-
bles. Then britzles, If they are cured
Then let cut fish bones, then insects.
Stems of vegetables and flowers-I
don't understand how they escaped.
Birds eggs and fish eggs free. Fish
skins; fossils dragons blood, horse
hair, hoops, cid junk; if it's new junk
it can't come it free. / don't know
whether yoL let loaded dice in free.
but you are giving the American peo-
| pie loaded dice in this deal. And sea
weed. That just drifts in. Nux vom-

/ Joss sticks. And turtles and

lean people are going to get"
Replying to Senator Harrison in {
sarcastic vein, Senator McCumbe
said "the funny man of the senat,
has given US an address on the fire,
list which he apparently enjoyed il
making as much as the galleries en-
joyed hearing.

God given" and "Crystallization of
wisdom of ages"
In the end the Democrats were
asked to vote against all of the pro-
posed amendments, each as an as
sault upon the constitution itself. A
Henderson Stockton of Phoenix
wanted to know whether the proposed
amendment permitting cooperative
marketing was to be included in the
condemnation.
Mr.. VanDyke was going to explain
that. He recited the growth of the
Industrial Congress which had insti-
gated the amendments.
But that does not answer the
question: said Mr. Stockton,
doesn't your amendment condemn
the cooperative marketing amend
ment; yes or no."
That question was never answered
and the amendment went to vote, in
which a surprisingly large part of
the Maricopa county vote was cast
for the amendment, which, however,
was laid on the table by a vote of
S5l6 to 511a. With the disposition of
the resolutions. which by the way is
not a platform but only the recon-
mendation for one, everything was
cleared for the real business of the
conference, the endorsement of cam
didates, and that was begun in the
afternoon.
Nominate Four
Four candidates for governor were
nominated, as follows: j. C.. Green
way, r. C. Stanford, Charles B. Ward
and Alfred Franklin. Nomination
speeches were limited to five minutes
each, and seconding speeches to two
minutes each. AT the end of the fifth
| ballot the name of Mr.. Franklin was
withdrawn and after two ballots
recess was taken until s o'clock to-
night.
After the conference had endorsed
Charles B. Ward and Mr.. Ward had
been brought to the armory and ad-
| dressed the conference, Judge Stan
| ford made an address in which he
pledged his hearty support to Mr..
Ward. The latter spoke for half an
hour and said from the bottom of his
heart he appreciated the distin-
| guished honor conferred upon him.
He declared that the Democratic
party in the campaign this year will
use battleaxes If the Republicans use
clubs"
Other candidates endorsed by the
conference We're:
James H. Kirby. Greenlee county,
for secretary of state.
Richard H. Ramsey, Yuma county,
for state auditor.
Wayne Hubbs, Mohave county, for
state treasurer.
Miss c. Louise Boehringer, Yuma
county, for state superintendent of
public instruction.
Amos A. Belts, Maricopa county,
for state corporation commissioner
Charles r. Howe. Cochise county,
for state tax commissioner.
Ed O'Hagan. Maricopa county, for
mine inspector.

Ma Minority Report

NO minority nePoTb
It declared for a development of
the states resources and especially
of the Colorado river, which resolu-
tions believed chiefly belonged to
Arizona. Tt recognized the impor-
tance of power development, but that
was held to be secondary TO the
beneficial use of the water for irri-
CATION. The resolutions were for
good roads but against the road max
ing department for political purposes.
When a motion was offered for the
adoption of the resolutions, w. D.
Claypool of Gila county asked what
had become of the minority report
of the committee. 1t was explained
by Frank Il. Curley of Pima county
there was no such report but that the
committee had agreed to a submls-
sion of the amendments which a ma
jority had declined to include in the
report.
one of these was by C. w. Van
Dyke of Gila county, who had plead
ed in vain in committee meeting for
an indictment of the proposed consti-
tutional amendments. The other
was a labor platform by John E.
Fruhl of Navajo county. vice presi-
dent of the Arizona Federation OF
Labor. The latter amendment was
presented first. 1t contained recon-
mendation for every concession that
has ever been made anywhere to or
ganized labor, the conception or the
late Democratic national platform
and the statutes of all platforms
which had Wed with one another In
their bids for the support OF labor.
1t especially denounced the espionage
system and the control Of the la
borer's pay checks by his employer.
That is. it Is to be forbidden that
the employer shall hold out OF the pay
| check any amount that the employe
may owe him. In the matter of liv-
ing quarters of the employe, tney
shall not be owned by the large en-
ployer. nor is 1t desired that the en-
blower shall busy himself too intently
with the social affairs Of the laporer.

frowned upon. If there had been any
thing more that labor wants and II
had been brought to the attention or

cluded. The amendment was opposed
by Major Kelly, Owen Murphy and
7. n. Lines, as to certain of it's fea-
lures. Mr.. Murphy declared that
many of the evils which the amend
ment had recited had no existence.
Amendment, Carries
Voting was by roll call of the dele
gates. Gila county's vote was solid
for the amendment. More than four
fifths of the vote Of Maricopa coun-
ty was cast for 1t and it was carried
by 81 to so.
Next came the VanDyke amend
ment, which he eulogized in a speech
that threatened TO become intermin-
able az he proceeded without letting
the conference know what it was all
about well, what's the amend
ment?" inquired an impatient dele
gate. Mr.. VanDyke was coming to
that and he began with a history of
the state constitution, which he de-
clared was a Democratic constitution
and was under the special guardian
ship of the Democratic party. There
were the time honored expressions,

Strike OF Boot-Shoe
Workers Authorized; !;

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May ia
strike of union boot and shoeworkers

day morning, was authorized tonight
by the general executive board of the

following a four-day session. Six
thousand workers will be affected by
the strike, union officials said.
The last offer of the manufactur-
ers to prevent strike was for a 10
per cent wage reduction, it was an
nounced. This the workers refused
to accept.

adopted a resolution asking the senate
of the United States to investigate
the manner of the election of United
States Senator Ralph II. Cameron.
The motion was carried with only a
few scattering votes with one de-
cisive mo-" Judge Frank H. Lyman
of the Maricopa county superior court,
short term, and Chief Justice H. d.
Ross of the supreme court also was
unanimously recommended for nom
ination to succeed himself.
Balloting for the endorsement OF
governor was interrupted for three
quarters of an hour by the appearance
OF William j. Bryan, who with Mrs.
Bryan, had just arrived from El Paso
by Automobile. Mr.. Bryan addressed
the conference on national polltlcal
topics, and predicted a Democratic
landslide next fall to make way Tor
a greater one two years hence. Mr..
Bryan made no allusion to former
President Woodrow Wilson. He COM
plimented the conference on its en-
dorsement of United States Senator
Henry f. Ashurst, and Representative
Carl Hayden. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
left at once for Florence.
1t was in a murky atmosphere that
the second day of the Democratic
state conference was begun. There
had been some sort of misunder-
standing between a large section of
Maricopa county's delegation and the
solid ella county delegation on two
points, one being in certain contin-
gencies, a bolt of the conference.
That contingency seemed about to
present itself. 1t was expected that
such g bolt sometimes previous to
taking up the question of the en-
dorsement of candidates would take
place.
Count On Maricopa
It would serve the purpose OF the
ella delegates and while the Mari
copa county delegation would gain
nothing thereby, the conference had
come to the conclusion that Maricopa
county delegates might be counted
upon to do the wrong thing. Much
was supposed to depend upon the
action of the conference on the report
of the committee on resolutions.
It was known that the resolutions
as agreed upon by the majority did
not fully meet the wishes of the Hunt
element by the reason of its omission
of any relation to the constitutional
amendments and on account of the
weakness OF us ldpOI pldIlh- ITS SttiiAS,
so far as the radical element were
concerned, were only those of
omission. In fact, as it was read by
George Purdy Billiard. no one on
earth could find fault with it except
in relation to the structures on the
Republican party. In all other re-
Spects it was a statement of truisms.
1t recognized the limitation of the
conferences authority. 1t abhorred
political deceit, knavery and side
stepping as all good men do. 1t de-
clared for the true faith and for the
right of Democrats to 'peaceably
assemble" but assembling peaceably
was different thing, for that the
Democrats had not been doing. There
was an encomium of Woodrow Will
son and a sweeping indictment of the
Republican party at large. There
was recitation of the insanity of
Democrats in Arizona in allowing
the state to go Republican and q call

PIestina and Pesek
Halted After Three
Hours of Wrestling

CHICAGO, May 16.-The wrestl-
ing contest between Marin Plestina
of Chicago and John Pesek of Shell
ton, Nebraska, was stopped by Emil
Thirty, referee, at 1880 this morning
after they had wrestled three hours
and % minutes. Both men were ex-
hausted. The bout was declared no
contest by Referee Thirty.
Much confusion attended the end
ing of the bout. Spectators hurled
hats, papers and pasteboard boxes
into the ring and started an uproar
of shouting and stamping.
Plestina claimed he was partly
blinded after the first ten minutes of
wrestling when Pesek stuck his
fingers into his eyes. A physician
examined Plestina in his dressing
room after the bout and said the
wrestler's eyes had been injured.

ALL ABOUT KISSES

Kisses are the language or love,
or, perhaps, it would be truer to say,
its secret code. Reams could be writ
en- about the psychology of kiss and
yet nothing be explained, for the kiss
is its own explanation; and as one
star differs from another in glory, so
no two kisses are alike. There are
those that are bought and sold,
wretched masks held before the in
dignant face of love; and there are
sophisticated kisses. the part of a
game both understand, and the be-
trothal kiss, sanctified already by the
shadow of the altar; also the sudden,
snatched kiss, the kiss of mystery
that instantly alters life, when it is
not a mere farcical interlude.-Lady
