BRICK SELLING
WILL SWELL
FUND
Central Union Mission Or
ganizes Teams to Raise
$4,000.

A "brick-selling" contest will be
launched March Is by the Central
Union Mission to raise $4,000 to be
added to the $685. already col
lected for the purpose of building
q combination mission house. It is
proposed to erect q children's home
in addition to the mission house.
The bricks will be sold at IS each.
Two teams of men and women,
twenty five of each, are authorized
by John s. Bennett, superintendent
of the institution, to make collec-
tons. The proposed building will
be on the present site, 622 Louisiana
avenue northwest.
Bennett said that an average OF
1875 men are cared for nightly and
this number taxes the capacity OF
the place. The children's home.
which is at 1907 First street north
west, is filled to capacity and has
been for years, Bennett said.
Thirty-two inmates are cared for
daily at this institution.
The mission has been in existence
thirty-nine years, and during that
time thousands of children and
"down-and-out" men have been
cared for.

gate James A. Foley yesterday set
down for trial the contest of the
will Of Patrick Egan, one time

BIG BILL HAYWOOD TAKES THE COUNT

Haywood, the former l. W. W. leader in the
United States, is down and out in Russia, be-
cause he failed in the management of colony
he had organized there to work out his Utopian
ideas. He thought a colony could be formed and
operated in defiance of the principles ofswhat he
calls Capitalism" individual right toethe
enjoyment of the fruits of individual ability, en-
ergy and thrift. The colony failed and its mem
bers are starving. Haywood is despondent be-
cause even his friends have turned against him.,
charging that he has no administrative ability.
The outcome is not in any way surprising |.
w. W. leaders, communists of all grades of rad
icalism, and agitators in general are excellent
propagandists, but they are poor administrators.
They have theories because they have not had
practice. They have plenty of time to prOmul-
gate theirstheories because they are not engaged
in any practical work of a constructive nature.
They get away with much of their propaganda
because the practical people of the world are
too busy earning living and building up indus
try to answer their fallacious arguments. But
when they are subjected to the test of expert
enee, they invariably fail to make good. sae
Capitalism has its evils, but the remedy will
never be found in the destructive policies of COM
munism. Communism will succeed for a short
time-as long as it can feed upon the fruits of
capitalism-bllt when the savings of people of
thrift have been consumed, communism has no-
where to turn for means of livelihood ~
The outcome of the Haywood adventure ought
to be a lesson to the other communists who still
remain in America, but perhaps it is too much
to hope that they will learn anything by the ex-
perience of others. They must themselves have
demonstration of the utter fallacy of their the
ories. They will go on agitating, and may have
some few recruits from among thoughtleSS youth
not yet trained in the school Of experience. They
will acquire few adherents from among those
who haveleaIned life by honest, diligent, useful,
productive effort

GATHERING AT THE RIVER

We most sincerely hope that the other states
who are a party to the Colorado River COM
pact" will not take Senator Roberts bunk reSo-
luton seriously, nor believe that the honest-to-
goodness Arizonan believes we need any roy
atty in order to protect ourselves, either men
tally or financially. Senator Roberts is only one
of the few left in Arizona who still believes it is
profitable to attempt to milk steer. Roberts is
a banker-cOwman who attempts to utilize the
"bull' interchangeably in the two businesses,
which only results in very small change.
Senator Roberts freely admits that he is the
smartest man his father ever invented, but the
rest OF the world, of course, can not realize the
burro element in Roberts composition, when he
explodes to the world as an Arizona senator,
duly, elected to the legislature Honest after
months of experience, we never could tell where
Roberts was going from the way he looked, but
being just honest again, whenever there was
''big stink" stirred UP in the senate, we always
found Charlie at his desk. s a
You can't help but love Charlie for what he
won t do IL he can possibly prevent it. Before
this measley legislature finishes with him, We
hope he gets adam bill through which will make
the Colorado river chase itself back up hill to
where it came from and soak back into the
ground. M
= Dam royaltyg He'll no. All we want is for
the deuce to take the king. Aside from that all
that Charlie wants is the hull dam power of the
Colorado hooked up to his political machine.
We are for Charlie Roberts, The people don't
know and don't care a dam whether we have
dams or not They may yell about the monde
velOpment of the country, but little about dams
they know and dam little they care, SO long as
they have the damphool power of electing their
damphool.

RELATED KNOWLEDGE

The preacher was Scotch and of
the old school, who believed in phys
ical hell, and he was preaching one
of the good, old-fashioned fire-and-
birthstone sermons. With awe-inspir-
ing gestures and appropriate pulpit
pounding, he brought a particularly
fiery discourse to triumphant close
with something like the following:
"And on the last day there yell
be, all We wicked sinners, up to your
necks in the sea of birthstone, and
the flames'n be roarin' round We, and
ye'll no hae a drappie Of water to wet
your parched throats, and there1l be
wailih' and gnashin' of teeth, and yell
be crying out unto the Lord, oh,
Lor-rd, We did not know--we did not
know! - we did not know!' And the
good Lord, in the infinite maircy and
compassion Of His loving hear-rt, will
say, sWeell Ye ken the nooi'"

FACTS REFUTE

The democratic statement that republican con-
troll of the national government works against
national prosperity is completely refuted by the
facts. Everybody with eyes to see and with ears
to hear is aware of the tremendous Industrial
boom that is upon u.s. and that will increase still
more with the coming Of the warm months. Per
fnanent employment at good wages is available
to every man who wishes work. The democrats
have a disappointing prospect when they seek
to disturb the contentment that those conditions
bring.
