TIL DENVER KILLER
(Helena RecOrd-Herald)

The need for swift and merciless punishment
for murderers in this country is emphasized by
the fiendish deed of the Denver killer, who wan
tOnly murdered two women and man in an auto
mobile when he ordered the occupants of the
car, which was parked, to hold up their hands so
he could rob them and one woman screamed.
Until such murderers are summarily tried and
hanged or electrocuted murders will not be abat-
ed in America. In England where they wipe out
such devils in short order there are fewer muir
ders in a year than in any of our largest American
cities, such as New York or Chicago.
People who oppose capital punishment, law
yers and judges who make possible the dilatory
procedure in murder cases in the United States,
reformers who think crime is a disease to be
treated as such, all stand in the way Of crime re-
preston. The way to lessen Grim is to elimin-
ate criminals. Reform is a secondary matter,
so is benevolence. Society is entitled to protec.
ton as a primary right. In England society re-
ceives such protection, and crime is of minimum
volume.
It may be well enough to. attempt,the reform
and the cure Of criminals after that is accom-
plished, but not before. After that is achieved
it may be well to be tender with the criminal Of
trial, but not before. Capital punishment ma,
be barbarous, but never so barbarous as the Grim
inal who shot to death those three helpless PEG
pie in the Denver automobile.
Until the American people have risen to tn
level Of the English in this respect they win re
main inferior in both civil administration an1
civilization. But no such change can be expects
until criminal laws and criminal court procedur
copies the English, and the American maudlf
tenderness with criminals disappears.

.ECONOMY,, b o

The fact that the state convention Of Kiwanis
clubs at Helena last week went on record as
favoring the perfection Of a comprehensive high
way program in Montana is a strong indication
that the business men in this state are getting
Disguised with the working Of the spurious
economy issue which was foisted upon the peo-
pie last fall.
Not only has it lost to Montana the federal aid
money allotted to US but it is causing the diversion
of much tourist travel which rightfully belongs
to this state, e~ntailing a direct loss Of hundreds
Of thousands of dollars to the towns along what
should be our main arteries Of traffic.

MEN AND STREET CARS.

How important is love anyway?
Gladys Mavis, a dainty actress of
Hollywood, is said to have taken pOis-
on because she lost her job as a model.
Writing with pain in the hospital,
she was asked if a love affair had in
fluenced her in her action. She re-
piled:
"Leve? Nothing like that. A man
had nothing to do with it. Men are
like street cars to me. If you miss
one, wait for another"
The dainty Gladys is not one Of the
majority, however. Men are not like
street cars to most women.

her savings Of $4,000 and paid to her

ED 7. M'GONICLE PLANS
REOPENING RlORDAN MILL

Ed McGonigle returned last week
from California, where he spent the
winter, and is negotiating to resume
control and operation of the lumber
mill at Riordan, which he ran for so
many years until recently, when it
was taken over by the United Verde
Extension Mining company of Jerome,
which few weeks ago shut it down.
George Kingdom, general manager
of the mining company, is now in
Africa and will not be home for sew
eral months. There is some doubt
whether Mr.. McGonigle can complete
his negotiations before Mr.. Kingdoms
return.
Mr.. McGonigle will return to the
coast in a few days, but expects to
soon come back here with his family
to spend the summer, at least, whether
he returns actively to the lumber
business or not. His health has great
" improved and he says Flagstaff is
the best place to live and he has de-
cided to act on that fact.

stricken sections by the ill-nourished
condition of the stock, making it more
susceptible to the pest.
We've got it," Dr. Crump said yes
terday. "The only thing for cattle
men to do is to get in and help, right
now, to the fullest extent, or We'll
have it just as long as we have cat
tie here"
One fortunate thing is that cattle
scab, while the insect seems identical
under the microscope with that of
sheep scab, is not the same. At any
rate, sheep will not became infected
from cattle.
1t is likely that thorough rounding
up of cattle and dipping will be adopt
ed as the best means of eradication;
the treated cattle to be marked
strongly so that in the hunt for other
cattle it can be told at a glance just
whether an animal has been treated.
Allsrailroads entering this state
have been notified of the embargo.
Stockmen are also warned that they
must not attempt to move their cat
tie on foot without permission from
the state veterinarian.

HIGH SCHOOL FROLIC
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT

Flagstaff high school will present
its long delayed program on Friday

comedies and dance numbers and in
strumental and vocal music will fill
up an evening of entertainment by
local talent.
"a Proposal Under Difficulties" !"
"Oysters" and "The Florist Shop" are
the three comedies which promise
much mirth Miss Eleanore Greenlaw
and Miss Violet Raudebaugh will give
Mardi Gras and Spanish duo dances.
The high school ukulele club is to give
several selections, Miss Lightburne is
to furnish an instrumental trio, and

students, so cents for adults, and
may be obtained from any student or
at the door on the evening Of

WELCOME ). STORMS
HIT WATERSHEDS

Moderate to heavy rain and snow
over the principal grazing areas, Of
Arizona have done much to relieve the
drouth that for many weeks has been
a source of distress to stockmen.
Most of the precipitation occurred at
high elevations where, at present,
comparatively few animals are win
tering. However, in the eastern part
of the state good rains fell at an ele-
vation of 5000 feet. The observer at
Whiteriver reports that the rain of
lis inches came down slowly and was
very beneficial to the range. At Pine
dale where nearly two and half
inches fell, water was reported as be-
ing everywhere and feed sufficient.
Stock was said to be suffering on ac-
count of the bad weather. The heav-
lest snow fell in the vicinity of Viii
liams where five inches lay on the
ground Monday morning. Light rain
fell at Yuma and Nogales but none in
the vicinity of Douglas where high
winds contributed to bad range condi-
tions and where stock are reported in
poor condition. Southwestern New
Mexico was also without rain and feed
and water decreasing. Some stock
losses have occurred in that section.

HIRAM CLUB HEARS
REPORT ON GOLF CLUB

Ray Simpson was chairman Of the
day at the Hiram club meeting Friday
noon, and presented varied program
which was enjoyed byeall present.
Attorney Frank NJ. Gold made a
splendid talk on citizenship, and the
responsibility each citizen must Shout
der under a national government such
as we have.
Dir. V. S. Mcclure reviewed the eff
forts being made to organize golf
club in Flagstaff and reported that
the officers in charge Of the prelim-
mary arrangements were about ready
to report their findings. A meeting
will probably be called in the near fu-
ture at which time definite informa-
ton as to the cost of putting the
course in shape will be made and ac-
tive work of organization viii be
taken up.
Chairman Simpson read a letter re-
ceived by Frank M. Gold from an
eastern wholesale house which outlin-
ed the present day friyolities of the
average human being in witty man
ner, and showed that the whirl in
which we are living at this time is
but the natural outgrowth of advance
ment made along all lines Of en-
deavor in the past several years.

COLD WEATHER HALTED
CITY RESERVOIR INFLOW

Water from the melting SHOWS in
Schulz canyon had begun slowly to
come into the city reservoir last week.,
but during the last few cold nights,
Tuesday night, especially, registering
down to 10 above, put stop to that.
So the gain in the reservoir was very
slight. The storm that struck us last
Saturday and kept up over Sunday
and Monday, brought down quite lot
of snow and rain and much more in
Schulz canyon than here; so when
the thaw really does set in at the
foot of the mountain the reservoir
inflow should pick up fast.

FLAGSTAFF SHOOTERS :
MAY TIE FOR FIRST
IN STATE TOURNAMENT

Flagstaff Gun club won against its
state opponent and lost against its
interstate opponent in the clay pigeon
shoot last Sunday afternoon.
However the victory in the state
tourney was empty, the Victory gun
club of Globe Miami, scheduled to
shoot against US, not sending in any
report.
Next Sunday we shoot against
Prescott in the state tourney and La
Junta in the interstate. 1t will be
the last contest of the state tourney.
Should Phoenix defeat Williams
next Sunday, and Flagstaff win
against Prescott, it will leave Flag
staff, Phoenix and Williams tied for
first place in the state tourney. In
that event, the three clubs will likely
accept the invitation extended by the
Prescott Gun club, to come there to
shoot off the tie and settle the state
championship.
With two losses and seven wins
Flagstaff stands third in the inter
state tourney, with three more dates
to shoot Pueblo and North Platte

ROTARIANS SOON TO

With P J. Moran at the helm,
Flagstaff Rotary club had lively
meeting on Tuesday. Being so near
Saint Patrick's day, which the local
Saint Patrick favors unusually some
reason or other, there was lot OF
singing, with Tom Bellwood strenuous
ly trying to keep it all on the same
track and the air-brakes unobstructed,
most of that same being practice of
the songs the local Rotarians attend
ing the Phoenix conference next week
are going to assault the ear-drums of
the rest of the district with.
There will be another practice at
the Rotary room tonight.
President c. B. Wilson called the
meeting to order, handing around
some privileges to pay fines into the

Dr. Manning was taken i'll on Feb
ruary %, the early symptoms indi-
eating flu, which developed from a
cold and later turned into hypo-
static pneumonia.
In the earlier stages of DR.. Man
ning's illness and, indeed, up to the
last few days, it was felt that he
might recover. But his advanced
age -87-coupled with the fact that
he went through a similar illness
while visiting in Los Angeles two
years ago this month, which had con-
siderably weakened his powers of re-
sistance, were handicaps too great to
be overcome. In spite of all that
medical skill and the most careful
nursing could do and which were help
ed greatly by the patients own in
domitable spirit, his family were
obliged before the end of last week to
resign themselves to their approaching
bereavement.
DIR. Manning was mentally alert
nearly all OF the time until well to-
ward the last, recognizing and chatting
with those of the many callers who
were permitted to see him. He was
too keen a physician not to realize
