MORAL TURPS

Moral turpitude'' seems quite a fashionable
disease lately. In New York recently cham
pagne bath tub party was given, in which only
one young lady was allowed to demonstrate the
tub Harry Thaw, famous for his turptudenous
efforts in years past and noted example of what
money can do in the management of an insane
asylum, was present with some 800 other
moral turps" including Countess Cathcart, and
similar vehicles for the better transmission Of the
disease. The model of beauty who took the
champagne bath to purify the suds to the taste of
the guests, is now suing for 100000, claiming
she only received $50 for her exhibition of "tur-
pitude. Some men are SO cheap!

Ell PASO-GRAND CANYON ROAD



Western and west-central New
Mexico and northern Arizona are
quite as eager for motor tourist traf-
fic from the southeast as are we of
El Paso for tourist traffic coming in
through those sections from the Pa
cific coast.
So it is to the advantage of all
of us to promote travel over the Ell
Paso-Grand Canyon route. We from
here shall endeavor to route that way
tourists who would like an easy, fast
and scenically-inspiring route to the
greatest Of all scenery-the Grand
Canyon.
And Flagstaff, Holbrook and also
Springerville will encourage incom-
ing tourists from the west over the
Ocean to Ocean highway to cut across
down here to the border, see Ell Paso
and Juarez, and continue eastward
through the largest state in the union
which also is one of the most inter
esting.
Our own people need to keep in
their minds the thought that this FL
Paso- Grand Canyon route not only in
vites tourists but ourselves.
There is the Grand Canyon to see.
But that is not all. On the way one
will pass directly through the Rain
bow Petrified forest most extensive
and highly colored to be found any
where.
Besides our people can find recre-
alton in the White mountains of Ari-
zona with their 800 miles of trout
streams and their innumerable invit-
ing camping places.
A land unknown to many of US has
been opened to US through the con-
struction that has been done, and is

Governor Hunt advises the Tucson Star in re-
sponse to their request as to whether or not the
reports being circulated to the effect that he was
teanling with Senator Cameron were true, that
1T is not beyond the realms of possibility that my
name may not appear under the same heading as
Senator Cameron's in the contest for the same of
fice" Now, some may misread this statement and
take it to mean that he may contest Senator
Camerons nomination on the democratic ticket in
the primaries, or, that he may want his name on
the republican primary ticket. But in our opinion
and in face of the statement that he has never
voted any thing but the democratic ticket all his
life, knowing him as we do we are inclined to be-
lieve he is going to stay put for democracy.

CROSS ALIGNMENTS?
(Tucson Star)

Politically Arizona is facing one
of the most interesting years of her
history.
Although only one man, State
Senator ]. ]. Cox of Maricopa county,
has tossed his hat in the gubernatorial
ring, the fight for governor promises
to be more warmly contested than two
years ago.
The incumbent, George w. p Hunt,
is the deciding factor not only in the
democratic race, but also in the re-
publican. If Governor Hunt runs
again, it is believed that Dwight B..
Heard, Phoenix publisher, who was
defeated two years ago, will again op-
pose the democratic candidate. So

Albuquerque is all torn up over the fact that
some vile, unscrupulous wretch has stolen over
$500 worth of valuable rugs from lawyers home.
We mention the fact the rugs were valuable on
account of the fact they were priced at $500 and
were taken from lawyers home. While it may
be mere technical question, we wonder if the
poor misunderstood person who took the rugs to
keep his poor stepfather from starving to death,
could turn in the rugs as a contingent fee for
services of the lawyer, with no questions asked as
TO where the lawyer OF his client got the rugs?

BLATANT BLANTON'S WET
BLANKET
(BiSbee Review J

We can conceive of no reason for
Representative Blanton's outburst
against the Washington newspaper
that published recipe for beer used
by George Washington. 1t is not a
violation of the prohibition law-it is
a recital of historical facts just as
truly as if the newspaper had pub
lished a recipe used by the first presi-
dent for making spring tonic. Any
way, we believe that most OF the
American people who want beer al
ready have formula that is Of more
recent origin than that used by Mr..
Washington.
