Carter Replies to Charges of
Typographical Union in

i himself against charges of the Inter

others in connection with dismissal

/ last year. Carter also turned loose
! criticism couched in bitter language
! against his critics.
! In conclusion he said: In view
of the facts submitted with this state
ment and the opinions expressed BY
! the Attorney General and the Joint
| committee on printing, | respectfully
/ suggest that the charges of the In
/ ternational Typographical Union are
unworthy of any further considera-
/ ton. These charges are merely u
/ reiteration of the baseless complaints
I that were made last Spring by PreSi-
dent Smith and Secretary Seibold o.
! Columbia Typocra phical Union o.
! this city. Although the matter was
! fully inquired into at that time and
my action sustained by Attorney Cen
! eral Sargent. the local clique have
continued their malicious prosecutions
| in the vain hope that they could
either rule or ruin the Government
| Printing Office.
THE international Typographical
Union was deceived into indorsinc
their false charges without having
made any effort to ascertain the truth
but the American Federation of Labor
has been fair enough to ask an investi
CATION before taking action that might
concern the various other labor or.
canizat tons with which this office has
maintained most friendly relations. |

Dawes Flags Our
Primary System

Topheavy campaign funds, and all
the evils that attend them, were laid
at the door of the direct primary sys-
tenn by Vice President Dawes, who ar
gued in an after-dinner speech for
return to the old methods of choosing
political nominees by convention.
The address was delivered before
the Pennsylvania society of New
York and was the second in which the
vice president had attacked the pri-
mary system.
HThat which distinguishes the AM
erican republic from many republics
of the past which have failed is the
fact shat its constitution has made it
a representative government" he
said. ''This principle was long rec
ognized in the government of politi-
cal parties in this country, but in the
reaction against political corruption
and inefficiency we have passed pri-
mary laws which have done away with
representative government of politi-
cal parties.
'The rapid expansion Of state and
municipal business and patronage,
coupled with indifference of qualified
voters, half of whom do not 20 to the
polls at a general election, and many
less to the primaries, often results in
the nomination of candidates selected
and controlled by those having busi-
ness interest in the continuance of an
existing administration.

EngLishnl0n Started
Christmas Card Vogue

The English stationer who origi-
mated the idea of Christmas cards
back in 1916 certainly started some
thing. And if you don't believe it.,
just have a talk with that bent and
broken man who goes tottering down
the street these days with mountain
Gus burdens on his shoulders, your
postman.
Sending greeting cards is, of
course, laudable custom. 1t is i'm
possible to remember all of your
friends at the holiday season with
gifts, but sending them cards is an in
expensive substitute that serves the
purpose of remembrance and good
wishes as well as gift. Naturally
the practice has tremendous vogue,
but before the high development of
mail service throughout the world it
was an impossibility.
The huge volume of this sort of
mail that is handled every year in
your city seems unbelievable. But
your family will receive, if you are
an ordinary local family of three or
four members, about 100 cards be-
tween now and Christmas morning.
Multiply that figure by the number
of families in town, and you can see
why the post office puts on extra
help and works overtime to get your
mail distributed.
A glimpse behind the letter drops
Of the post office any day now will
show you an astonishing sight. The
bins that receive cards overflow
every few hours. There is literally a
steady stream of them flowing
through the slots. Business houses
and private individuals dump bunch
es containing hundreds of them at a
time.
Another indication of the huge pro-
portions of this card-sending habit
may be obtained by anyone who tries
to buy few cards at local station
er's few days before Christmas.
The mob at the counter is as bad as
any at woman's bargain sale.
Everybody seems to be trying. to
find a funny card for Uncle Bill, a
sweetly sentimental one for the "best
and only" and an ordinary, just
pretty" ones for a host of other
people.
It is nice to find, on Christmas day
pile of cards from friends whom
you have not seen in years, but who
takes this way of telling you that
you are still in their thoughts.

HISTORIAN CLAIMS ARIZONA is
DERIVED PIMA INDIAN WORD

List, o ye natives of our fair state,
how many know the true meaning of
Arizona? From what is the name de-
rived. How many schools have taught
and probably still teach that it comes
from Arid-zone?
Major George H. Kelly, state his
torian considered one of the best au-
thorities in the state on all subjects
pertaining to state history, says that
the word Arizona is derived from
the languages of Papago and Pima
Indians, the languages being practic-
ally the same, and is derived from
Arizonac, meaning "little spring"
Major Kelly is supported in his
opinion by an article published in
1918 by NJ. P. Freeman, L. L. D., of
the University Of Arizona
Major Kelly positively stated that
Arizona is not derived from Arid
zone. He stated conclusively that Ari-
iona is derived from Arizonac and
all available literature on the SUBJ
ject supports that conclusion.

GRASSHOPPER HAS SLAIN
MORE MEN THAN WAR

The grasshopper is, IN many ways
more marvellous than a man and more
wonderful than an elephant" said
DR.. William S. Vinal of the New
York State College of Forestry, Syr-
acuse University, in a recent talk to
the nature study leaders Of New York
City.
"The grasshopper has six legs
and never gets them tangled Some
animals with only two legs often
trip and fall. If the human being
could jump with ability in proper
tion to that Of the grasshopper he
could easily clear the Flatiron build
ing and would wreck himself upon
landing. The grasshopper is noisy in
his old age instead Of in his youth,
and surprising as it may seem, this
noise is made possible by his hind
legs.
"Grasshoppers being Matched from
eggs in the spring never see their
parents and what they are is due tos
their own efforts. They can never be
favored by influential ancestors.
They are "self-made' Another dis
tinctive thing about this insect is
that grasshopper music is always
rendered by male orchestras and al
ways heard by lady audiences. If we
should have a tent at the circus and
had these wonders advertised along
with the facts that the animal with
in is the champion jumper Of the
world for his size, that he was the
chief diet of John the Baptist while
preaching in the wilderness, that he
has caused the death Of millions Of
men and women through plaques,
that his skeleton is on the outside in
stead Of the inside Of his body we
probably would attract a great
crowd. But this is to be seen at our
front door and it is only one small
phase Of the unbounded wonders to
be found there, with no tent and no
admission fee and yet the elephant
draws the crowds.
"When nature guiding comes into
it's own and the public begins to
understand the wonders that are now
passing before their eyes unnoticed,
doubt whether the popularity of the
elephant will be greater than that OF
the trees, the grasses, the rocks,
the waters, the insects, and the
small wild animals that we see
every day but do not know"

Told Her Own Story

Denying that he had ever in his ca
reer as judge of the Denver juvenile
court, violated the confidence Of any
one, Judge Ben B. Lindsey issued a
statement denying implications Of
Phoenix, Ariz., authorities, that he
had revealed the embryo cinderella
case" of Jackie Henley and J. NJ.
Freeman of Phoenix. Judge Lindsey
has been subjected to criticism 5y
Phoenix authorities for letting the
facts Of the proposed adoption Of the
Henley girl by Freeman become
known.
In answer to these assertions, Judge
Lindsey said:
Il was once sentenced to Jail, or to
pay a fine of $1,000 rather than vio-
late a confidence imposed in me by
one who came under my care In view
of this fact, certainly would not
have betrayed the confidence of j.
M. Freeman, who it is claimed, had
considered adopting Jackie Henley, a
Denver girl.
Il never had any communication
from Mr.. Freeman, and the first I
heard of the case was when a Dem
yer newspaperman told me that
Jackie Henly had told him her entire
story. He then asked me what I would
advise and I refused to give my opin-
ion since there was no application for
adoption before me.
Sometime afterwards Jackie
Henley came to me and told of this
offer of Mr.. Freeman to adopt her.
After listening to her story which was
very brief, told her that l would
advise her and Mr.. Freeman, that
such an adoption was unwise for both
of them. AS far as | know, Mr.. Free
mans intentions were perfectly pro-
per. The entire story concerning jack
lie and Freeman was given out by
Jackie herself without either my con-
sent or knowledge"
AS far as the Denver juvenile
court is concerned Judge Lindsey de-
clared, no further consideration would
be given the case.

ADVOCATES LAW TO SAFE
GUARD ARIZONA'S FOSSILS

James Shreve of st. Johns today
bemoaned the fact that Arizona has
no law prohibiting scientists from
other states to collect prehistoric
fossils in this section of the coun-
try.
He charges that certain paleontolo-
gists from California have taken
away from rocks in this neighborhood
perfect specimens of dinosaurs. His
suggestion is that either a law be
passed forbidding Outsiders" to
search for fossils in Arizona, or that
the state university start an expedi-
ton to locate vestiges Of ancient life.
