Cleanliness Needed In Campaign Against
 Lead Poisoning

San Francisco, Jan. 26-C1eanliness is the first requisite in the campaign against lead poisoning, declares L. H. Duschak, M. A., Ph. O., consulting chemical engineer for the California in dustrial accident commission.
 A careful study of the subject has shown that lead poisoning is almost in variab1y caused by dust or fume par tic1es which are taken into the system through the mouth or nose," said Dr. Duschak.
 "A very small amount of lead, as ex- ample, quantity no larger than pin head, entering the system every day may gradually bring on poisoning This minute quantity may easily enter the mouth or nose unnoticed. The effects of moderate exposure may not be noted at first, but lead is a cumulative poison and if led is regularly entering the system ones health may be gradually undermined and quite little damage done before the danger is recognized" <"

ARIZONA'S GOVERNOR ~ FOR FREE SPEECH

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 2o-"The great est safety valve to alleviate discomfort
 in any country is the right to expound
 ideas, advocate governmental reform and criticise public officials or govern
 ment, institutions said Governor Hunt, in his message to the state leg islature.
 The state executive, denounced the practice of some officials in Arizona who arrest persons as vagrants when they insist on expressing ideas in pub lie that these officials do not favor "The founders of this republic and the authors of the constitution of the United States provided for freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. The constitution of the state of Arkansas contains like provisions" said Governor Hunt.
 At this time, when the nations of the world are undergoing rapid changes in government, any attempt to tie down this safety valve is dangerous expe dient.
 ''In this connection I desire to sug gest that the widest possible latitude in publin discussion should be permitted Meetings on street corners, where 1t will not interfere with the traffic, in the parks or on vacant lots, should not be interfered with, so long as pub lie peace IS maintained. "Oratory cannot injure the govern ment of our country. Suppression of free speach may cause revolution. Public authorities should under no cir cumstances, attempt to prevent the free exercise by every citizen of his con stitutional rights of expressing his opinion in pub1ic.''

BLAMEs THE PRESS.

A Prescott school professor
blames the press because the
prohibition laws are fouted in
Arizona and avows that this is
so for the reason that the news.
papers make joke of the dry
law.
He further bemoans the fact
that the conditions in the Mile
High City are such that liquor
can be readily obtained by school
boys, and while he does not
plainly say so, yetit is naturally
to be supposed that he is still
talking about the press.
Blaming the press is a cold
storage alibi of would be great
somebodies and lame ducks, but
it seems that we must add at
least one school professor.
While it may be true that the
newspapers of Arizona have, as
a rule, made lightly of the eigh.
teenth amendment, it is hardly
just to thrust upon them the re-
sponsibility for the failure OF
the prohibition law in the city
of Prescott.
Booze and gambling, wide open
with the sky the limit, have been
reported to be running rampant
in certain cities of this state in
recent months. Whether or not
there is any truth in these re-
ports is to be surmised, but even
if they be true, the Prescott
