VIE WnI Your Answer Re2

Out Of the Misrepresentation which is being
spread among the voters there stands out the unn-
peacheable character OF the members of the Moore
Button Hotchkiss ticket against whom no neighbor
has said or say one word.
Messrs Moore and Button have been residents of
the city for many years and all that time they have
been prominently identified with every public move
ment. Though Mr.. Hotchkiss is a later conner he
has resided here years. long enough to secure
foremost place in business circles. He moreover
left behind him honorable record in Douglas
Mr.. Moore served creditaby as president Of the
chamber Of commerce and on scores of committees
all OF which were striving for the betterment OF
Phoenix lie has been in every sense a public
spirited citizen.
NO man has surpassed Mr.. Button in the zeal and
energy with which he in the capacity Of private
clGzen has served Phoenix. In his position as a
Rotsrian-he president of the Rotary club--he
has wrought early and late to make Phoenix still
more place where people will want to make their
homes
And it was the public spirit Of Mr. Hotchkss
that induced his selection become candidate for
the commission.
And now, another word about the circumstances
in which the ticket was selected The men who
selected it foremost citizens busi-
ness Every line OF legitimate activity in Phoe-
nix was represented IN them. They had to
grind; they had no selfish interest to serve They
were concerned in the welfare Of any man or
group. They standing only for Phoenix
They proposed after name OF citizens OF
such type eventually chosen by them, with
out inquiry as to their personal preferences having
only regard for their high citizenship.
The opposition has since bent itself to connect a
ticket composed or such men, selected in such an
open and honorable manner, with a city admins
traton which the opposition has held up as
discredited. Messrs. Moore Button and Hotchlss
declared openly reiterated that they are not
bound in any way to the administration. Now we
have the word Of these honorable and responsible
citizens who drafted to become candidates and
consented reluctantly. What have we against their
word? Only that of irresponsible persons to whom
false unfcunded accusation is only part OF the
days work.
Whom viii the voters of Phoenix believe? Whom
would you believe il A. L. Moore Wallace Button and
III H. Hotchkiss should make you a statement con-
corning business proposition and the men who are
aspersing them should make you contradictory
statement concerning the proposition? We
know what the answer OF those who have known
Messrs. Moore, Button and Hotchkss would be to
that question. Let that be given to the ques-
uon which will be submitted to you next Saturday.

more than one hundred OF them left

They have been known as canni-

Yet it is doubtful il they may prop

If they eat each other or the unfor-

is because that dread meal will keep
the breath Of life in their meager,
bone jutting, unclad carcasses just a
little longer.
Never Reconeiled or Subdued
Years ago the Seri Indians were
about what the Yaquis have been

kindred one--that has made the name

the yoke. Diaz came the nearest,
perhaps. They were at least peace
full in the later years of his rule in
Mexico, because he convinced them
that il they were not he would hunt
them down like wolves. But they
were never reconciled and never sub

bloody morsels like so many carrion
eating dogs. 1t is no wonder that
they have been given the reputation
OF being cannibals. Nor is it improb-
able that they are--at least in times
OF more than usual stress-given to
the practice which marks the ultl-
mate degradation Of humanity.
The savage little Sris are unvary-
ingiy hostile to strangers. They do
not attack white men who come in

Now and then fisherman or wan

Tiburon and disappears. No one
knows what has happened. Three
years ago some Italians went ashore
on the island and were killed. Their
bodies were found later, but at that
time Sonora had troubles OF its own
and no attempt was made TO punish
the savages There are a few white
men who have established a faint
inchoate, vague relationship with
them.
There used to be a Captain John
son the Seris liked" I am told. HE
was a big. good looking, jovial man
and they seemed TO enjoy looking at
him. He gave them food and blank
cts and that sort OF thing when he
visited the island. But he never went
ashore alone. nor did he ever spend

neither steal nor barter for food. No
one cares for them, for when they
were powerful they were a menace
and now that they are dying they
are still as dangerous as a NANCY,
snarling, filth eating dog. Their
poisoned arrows Kill or set UP blood
poisoning. At one time small parties
occasionally visited the .Sonoran VIII
lagos for purposes of barter. Some
times they found a pearl in their
fishing. and sometimes they brought
in skins or other things for which
there was q slight market. But of
late years they have lost even the
ambition for this. They no longer
come to the mainland. Voyagers
now and then see a naked. vicious,
squalid savage appear for a moment
on the coast as they sail by. Those
who land find tracks or get fleeting
glimpses OF an Indian disappearing
into the brush
But that is all. Cannibal or no
cannibal, the Seri is doomed. Storm
and starvation are destroying him.
In another year or two the faint
streamers OF smoke sometimes seen
on the island will be seen no more.
The Seri will at last have been con-
quered.

The worlds gone TO ruin
And in my detection
The future looks blue in
Most every direction;
Life isn't worth living
And nobody loves me,
There's no one is giving
A darn how fate shoveS me.
Existence is dreary.
The thought makes me shiyer;
II I weren't so weary
I'd plunge in the river:
Chill, damp is the weather,
All joy is forgotten
And, viewed altogether,
The whole game is rotten,

The mood and the manner

Who wave o wet banner,
Who wax very fearful
or verse and Of feature?
No, truly I'm cheerful.
A light hearted creature.
But down in the basement
The steam heat is waning,
And, outside my easement
The chill sleet is raining;
And therefore my curses,
All poets take warning.
