Dear Miss Lee: l am the mother of sew

one tells me J look so young to have so
many children.
For the last six months or a year my
husband has been meeting another woman
out, from three to four times a week; /
found this out about month ago, and he
admitted it He claims he is truly re-
pentant and Is doing everything to show
me he is sorry. But I never can love and
trust him as l have before, as / begged him
to stay away from this woman all along
and he promised me he would, and all the
time he was meeting her. / am worried al
most to death and am sure it will all hap

or second affair he has had with other
women.

true and loving wife and have forgiven him
several times before My patience Is ex-
hausted and I never can forgive him for
this.

A WORRIED AND UNHAPPY WIFE
You have legitimate grounds for a
divorce. But what about your chill

, 1t is a dishonest policy, far more
dishonest than divorce. Sometimes
divorce is the only solution to the
problem of an unhappy marriage.
Frequently it is resorted to when it
is not the only solution.
Somehow or other, women fail to re
alize that the man who breaks up a
home, or who even takes advantage
of a woman's temporary dissatisfac-
ton with her husband, may make a
most desirable companion until he
wins the woman. but is pretty sure to
make the worst kind Of husband. He
is man without honor.

BooTLEGGERs OF THE NEWS GAME

The newspaper game in the old days was
profession for the dissemination of news. Now
many newspaper concerns have taken up the
new drug store idea of peddling food mainly, in
stead of drugs. The new" idea which seems to
have gained some popularity among newspapers
that are unable to sell news at par value is to
dabble in tin pans, wringers, new-fangled mops

painful funny pictures, patent magazine sections

idiotic dope from foreign countries like New
York and Europe Advance news as to King

for them to wait for news to actually happen

OTHERS AWAIT OUR DECISION

Arizona's attitude towards the Colorado River
compact should be definitely determined before
the commencing of the next session of congress.
This is important. Should the conference COM
mittee fail to bring about harmonious plan for
the attitude of Arizona the pact then the
whole matter should be referred by special
legislative session for referendum vote of the
people this fall.-Douglas International.
The Messenger is of the belief that it is up to
those who have delayed action ON the Colorado
compact to get in line SO that some decisive step
may be taken. Of course it can not be delayed
longer than election in November 1924 but an
entire year will thus be wasted. Congress seems
ready to appropriate money under the Smith
McNary BILL S35000,000 to be expended during
&c years in redeenling desert and swamp lands.
There will be nothing doing unless the west
stands together, united and militant.-Phoenix

TOO MUCH PUMP-HANDLE PoLTENEss

Now that Senator Charlie Roberts and Tommy
Maddox have both agreed each with himself
that the whole world is wrong except each hlm-
self and disagreeing with each other as to which
is right, we hope that Governor Hunt has sense
of Yunner enough to chair EN- together in a pa
per mill with lead pencil foundry attached, and
find out which will run the longest without a
dam-the Colorado river or the Roberts VS.
Maddox contest Some geologists assert that 1t
took some several million years for the Colorado
river to dig the rut it got into This leads us 70
wonder how some men can get into just as deep
and selfish rut during such short span OF
life.
King Tut tried to be very exclusive that way,
but look what mess of pottage they made OF
him after over three thousand years.

POLITICS AND FINANCE DON'T MIX

The suggestion of Governor Hunt that the
state of Arizona build dams on the Colorado
river at cost variously estimated from hun
dred million dollars up, has caused some people
to turn to the Lyman dam stunt over in Apache
county in which the state has put nearly a mil
lion dollars without even the return of dollar
in interest Recent reports indicate that great
deal of the land mortgaged to the state is, or is
about to be abandoned and there is little hope of
the state school fund ever getting anything back
from the investment The people of the state
are paying higher school tax just to make up for
this financial blunder. Politics do not mix well
with big financial undertakings. Some may urge
that such project would not get tangled in par
tisan politics-but look at the Colorado river
scheme. 1t was to have been kept out but is
now in up to its neck
The Coconino sun., 1923-06-08

In all the criticisms of President Harding we
have seen in democratic papers, not one ever
mentions him as letting 10 per cent plus cost
contracts to southern contractors" as occurred
during President Wilson's administration. It is
wonderful how the democrats want to steer clear
of the billions profiteers robbed the patriotic
public of under the guise of war contracts, and
point to the "robber tariff" which is paying off
the 10 per cent plus profiteer billions Wilson
paid southern political debts with public money
and left the debt for Harding to pay as best he
could The people know Harding is paying for
the Wilson financial political folly.

CAUSE FOR SUSPICION

Instantly the brakeman turned on

Naturally Editor Bill Stuart of the Prescott
Courier figures that anything for the good of the
general public advocated and backed by the re-
publican party must be detrimental to the demo-
cratic party. If Bill had noted the number of
rock-ribbed democrats who signed the referen-
dunn petitions against the gagging gang rule the
last amentable legislature attempted to foist on
to the general public in the guise of a primary
law" he would change his mind as to its being
swallowed even by the democrats. Whether the
majority of the people in Arizona are democrats
isn't the point at issue and even at that they
have on several occasions demonstrated by their
votes they were not hog tied to the skirts of the
gang of would-be perpetual office holders.

THE RACE WITH DEATH

The boss had compiled list with
recommendations for increases in
salaries and the stenog's name was
not among them. 1t was natural that
she should be peeyed. In revising the
list, one name had to be omitted be-
cause of the death of the employe.
"It's too bad Williams died before
he got his raise, isn't t?' asked the
boss with proper sympathy.

with suspicious sweetness, "but think
