Who bought the
Brooklyn Bridge to-day !?

Almost every day the Brooklyn Bridge is sold to some
gullble visitor to New York Every day someone swim
died. Selling this famous old bridge has become ma
tional joke. ttbf sf1etpf ~ gAjfslsaA
Suppose however the City of New York decided really
to sell the Brooklyn Bridgeto give the buyer the priv
iege of placing toll on all who crossed it, They would
advertise it for sale And the prospective purchaser
would know the offer to be genuine Il
He would know that the paper Would accept the adj
vertisement if it intended to defraud He would
know that the advertiser would dare advertise unless
his offer was honest
The advertisement would give the world confidence the
enterprise.
Just advertising of all merchandise gives the world con
hdence in that merchandise Only honest products can
tell their stories where all may read.
That is why it pays read advertisements. You can
rely advertised goods You know that worthy manu-
acturer stands back of them They guide to better

and with the knowledge that you are buying merchan-
disc which is minus all vain regrets misrepresened

ACKER'S DEATH SENTENCE
is COMMITTED TO LIFE

Peace and his release from the
leath cell, which he has occupied
since early in July, came Tuesday to
William E. Acker, convicted slayer of
fver Enge, when the state board of
pardons and paroles, which has had
the question under adyisement for
several weeks, finally decided to re-
Commended for Communication of SEN
tence to Governor George w. p. Hunt.
The governor, who had not acted up
on the recommendation early this
week, confidentially is expected to fol-
low the advice of the board members
and already has stated that Acker
would be saved if the board found for
communication of sentence.
The condemned man, who already
has faced three different dates for ex-
ecution, the first being December,
1922, the second, August 8, of. this
year, and the third on Friday morn
ing, September 5, appeared before the
board last week on one of a number of
hearings on the case, pleaded IN his
own behalf Not much weight, how
ever, was placed upon his testimony
according to Lin B. Orafae, chairman
sof the board of pardorfs, due to the
fact that the man patiently was
scared to death and would say any
thing that be thought would. aid hinl.' Z
Puzzled during their long delibeia-
tions, the board members finally were
swayed in their decision by the DpiTl-
ion Of Judge John j. Sweeney, who
fixed Acker's first date Of execution.

HOW AN EDITOR FEELS
IN AN AUTO BUST UP

The writer has often wondered at
what would happen if a front wheel
on an auto wuld give way, when
driving at mderate speed. Last Sat
urday he had practical demonstra-
tion of it. While returning from
Tombstone, on a perfectly straight
and smooth road the right front
wheel gave away, the spokes bent
badly, and we lost control of the car.
1t swerved, turned around completely
and then laid down gracefully on its
right side. We crawled out, and by
main strength and ackwardness
righted it. The car did not. receive
as much as a scratch, neither did we.
We started the car, and by much
maneuvering and slow driving man
aged to get back home before the
wheel went bad completely. We now
know what happens when wheel
breaks, and there is possibility that
a fellow. instead of driving the car
with a wohbly wheel home. would
watch the wreck from the other side
of the Great Divide. 1t is. an exper-
ience we don't care to duplicate how
ever Instructive it might be otherwise.

GOVERNOR HUNT DEFENDANT
AS TO STATE MANAGEMENT

| Governor Hunt is placed in po
sition of defendant in the matter OF
| the Industrial school and its conduct
! 1t is up to that gentleman to prove
and to demonstrate absolutely the
efficiency of management of the in
stitution. Not one fact but a chair
of facts and circumstances places the
governor in this position.
Had Superintendent Gruhl been the
| first to leave the school for reasons
such as he published, the governor
might have satisfied the public witt
a simple statement that Gruhl was
wrong. Or, if Gruhl were a less res.
ponsible, less intelligent man, a SINH
lar evasion might be possible.
But, Tom Pulliam, Gruhl's prede.
cessor, quit the post for reasons sirni.
lar to those given by Gruhl.
Governor Hunt sent c.. M. Zander
secretary to the board of directors OF
state institutions, to Fort Grant just
a few weeks ago to see if Gruhl was
making progress in remedying the
situation which had disgusted Pull
liam.
E. F. Samuel, former secretary OF
the board of directors of state institu.
tions, declares publicly that the gov
ernor is responsible for conditions at
the school and that conditions are dis,
graceful. Samuel also was a visitor
at the institution on a remedying mis-
sion at one time.
All these facts are undisputed. The
public will continue to place the blame
on the governor until he demonstrates
absolutely that he is blameless.-

thus trapped, the neighbor fell upon
the COW and beat her to death, after

which she laid down and died. An

ARIZONA MONEY AHEAD
BY VACATIONS AT HOME.

In addition to benefiting the sec
tiors of the northern and eastern
parts of the state which are best
known as summer Fairgrounds, the
See Arizona First" campaign this
year has been felt in all Arizona,
through bank deposits larger than
usual for the season and lessening Of
summer dullness in business in many
cities in the southern part Of the state,
according to a survey of the accomp-
lishments Of the movement made by
the Arizona Industrial Congress.
Although the one great campaign
has. been to encourage Arizonars to
spend their vacations in their own
state, thereby keeping tens of thou
sands of Arizona dollars at home
where they can further Arizona devel-
opment, the state organization traces
a number of inderict benefits to COM
munities which naturally can. receive
no direct results.
Principal of these is the fact that
bank deposits, and especially savings
deposits, IN southern cities, which
ordinarily show noticeable declines
during the summer owing to with
drawals for vacation purposes, have
been maintained at higher figures
than in previous years. In Other
words, vacation spent in Arizona
doesn't cost so much as trip outside
the state, and Arizona people arc
money ahead.
I In addition, Arizona vacations dc
not require the time necessary fol
vacations on the Pacific coast or ir.
the east, and as result hundreds Of
Arizonans have spent less time away
from home, keeping business in theil
home communities on a higher level
than usual-as witness reports from
Tucson, Douglas and other southern
cities.
That fewer people have left the
state this summer is actually shown
by railroad figures, those for Phoenix
indicating that the number Of people
who have left this city for points out
side the state is 20 per cent lowej
than usual for the months Of June
and July.
The greater number of Arizona tour
lists in evidence in northern Arizona
diSo IDS utcH especially WclCUIH6 "a
view of the decreased travel to anG
from California owing to recent con
ditions in that state.
One of the greatest indirect result
Of the success of the movement this
year is the effect it. viii have on The
See Arizona First" campaign il
future summers. Hundreds of Ariz
ona citizens have really seen their owl
state for the first time during the
past few months, and once having
seen it the majority of them may be
counted upon to spend their future
vacations in Arizona, and they will
be enjoined by many more interested
primarily by their friends accounts
of the states beauty and summer
attractions.

pied with Stevens in an effort to
thwart his plans, but in vain.

act. Stevens boarded the train at
Ash Fork. He was identified at the
hospital by note book found in his
clothes.
Stevens was resident Of the val
ley for thirteen years. 1t was stated
that he sold his ranch last June

THE SORT OF CAMPAIGN IT
WOULD BE WITH MADDOX

In a. long TRADE against Dwight B.
Heard and longer song of praise for
Thomas Maddox, the Tucson Citizen
explains why it is for the latter for
the republican nomination for the
governorship, and in the explanation
says:
"He is a better business man
/ than Heard when due considera-
ton is given to all the factors in
the success of the two men. Mad
dock is broader, his ability more
pronounced and his integrity
emerged stainless from a demo-
cratic investigation which cost the
taxpayers Of Arizona $4,000"
The Citizen probably means the
joint legislative investigation that
gave out in cold figures the undisput
ed charge that in IS months of the
administration of the state highway
department by Maddox there was a
shortage of $23, ,720.52 and that III
motor trucks disappeared, in addition
to three trucks sold to Ben Pearce, at
present working in behalf of Mad
docks campaign, for $l20.
In his alleged reply to the commit
tees report, Maddox paid no heed to
the specific items that were cited, but
attacked the members Of the commit
tee and assailed what he called their
partisan motives, and challenged the
standing of the big firm of Chicago
auditors who examined what books of
the highway department they could
find
The committee recommended legal
action against the bondsmen of
Maddox, and criminal action against
two of his trusted employees. Gov
ernor Hunt asked the county attorney
of Maricopa county to take the nee
essary steps, but he has not done so.
It seems the only place where Mad
dock was tried-and the trial was held
before the investigation was well un-
der way--sWas in the minds of those
who direct the policy. of the Tucson
Citizen, and from that newspaper he
emerged Stainless There has been
no other trial.
The Citizen says the investigation
cost $4,000. 1t cost. the state of Ari-
zona less than $50, ,O00-a sum that
the committeeman are positive could
be reimbursed from the bondslnen of
Maddox. t.,s.s :a,
If the Citizens findings in regard
to Maddox are. as far afield as its
statement in regard to the money ex-
pended by the committee, there APP
pears to be ample ground for it to
grant a new hearing in its office
