TODAY'S
FAIRY
TALE
(New Version)
THE LITTLE LAME PRINCE
(Part Twol

So here was little Rollo, game but
crippled, prevented from entering
either the game or the ball, both
of which struggles he had looked
forward to for some time. In des-
pair, he took his meerschaum and
was rubbing it briskly. Now, !
am not claiming that the pipe had
any magic qualities, but it is a
fact that no sooner had he begun
his work than the door-bell rang.
Hobb1ing to the door he faced a
good fairy in disguise, a gentleman
fully as large as Rollo, who began
by attempting to open a brief case,
saying at the same time, "Now.
brother, | have here the greatest
boon of science to humanity The
Magic Rug of the fairy tale sounds
like something out of the first edi-
tion of Joe Miller's joke-book when
the wonderful benefits of my little
commodity are considered" Never
man to believe in fairy tales, and
a sworn enemy to agents of every
sort, Rollo became almost exempt
with rage and after a few very
choice remarks he decided to de-
molish the peddler. He had made
a wild swing and was starting an
other, when presto, Rollo found
himself flying high over the city,
as swiftly as the wind.

"I am afraid" he said to one in

left his shoes at the cobbler's. He
went to get them quite late and
found the store closed However,
he had to have them and banged
on the door till the cobbler poked
his head out of the window and
shouted: What do you want?"
My shoes of course retorted
the irate customer.
But haven't you heard? I've
gone bankrupt
l don't care about that; l want

The cobbler disappeared, but a
few minutes later shoe came hurt

KEEP ON INVESTIGATING. KING

Now that the election is over, the senatorial in
vestigation looking into charges preferred by Ralph
Cameron against his opponent, to the effect that a
100000 slush fund had been dumped in Arizona by
California and Wall Street interests in an effort to
defeat him (Cameron) should not be stopped rather,
it should be continued regardless of who wins the cleo
tion-Hayden or Cameron.
There are too many points that have not been
cleared up. Cameron's refusal to answer the ques-
ton as to whether his report of expenditures was
made under oath not, leaves question mark for
the investigating committee to erase with plain cold

facts, not evasive answers.

And Ceve Van Dyke, Miami publisher, Gamer
on's chief backer should be forced to remember who
told him about the slush fund Senator King, whO.is
holding the investigation, hit the nail on the head
when he said to Van Dyke
"Ths committee is not sewer to permit the be-
smrchment Of the character of anybody"
Cameron's whole aim in making charges of.
slush fund was the besmirchment of his opponents
good name. IS
That he failed in his purpose, is due to the fact
there is no slush fund and to Senator Kings ability
to outw the tactics Of Camerons chief supporter and
/ to make John R. Towles, Cameron's self-syled 'de
TAIL" relate some Of the methods used in the cam
Epaign
Van Dykes testimony printed in The Star, be-,
trays the tricky methods used by the Cameron forces
The charges Of sl1sh funds melt away when Senator
King asked for names places and amounts. Van
Dyke just couldn't remember-of course he couldn't,
there was nothing to remember.
Van Dyke was indignant this past summer when
sitting as member of the board Of regents at the
university investigation when witness after witness
gave hearsay evidence without one thing to substan
tiate it. Yet Van Dyke tried to give the same kind
Of hearsay evidence before the senatorial investga
ton, only he didn't "get away with it."
The Star hopes that Senator King of Utah. will
continue the investigation, that Cameron will be re-
called and grilled without mercy that Van Dyke will
be recalled and forced to remember else admit he
heard nothing and that the inquiry will be pushed un
til it is definitely proven that Camerons sush fund
charges are the fgment Of mean political mind;
All in all, the investigation to date has done Carl
Hayden more good than it has harm. 1t has done
Lewis Douglas good and also his father. S
J. IS. Douglas gave large funds to smash the Hunt
machine, he testified without hesitancy He had moth
ing to conceal. -
Senator King has been charitable, lenient in
vestgator. He has permitted testimony which had
no relevancy to the Hayden Cameron campaign I'm
committee has no legal right to probe the expend
lures in state primary. King permitted it in an act
Of fairness to the Cameron forces, regardless of
whether it had anything to do with the general cleo
ton or not. And witnesses testified as to primary
penditures without hestancy with the result that no
penditures Of gubernatOria candidates and the ex-
pendtures of them in the general election campaign
So far, the investigation has proved nothing nor
has testimony limited at anything damaging
against Carl Hayden Except the differences implied
by his enemies, differences unsupported by fact).
All in all, the investigation has been a success as
far as it has gone It has shown up Cameron and Van
Dyke. B
But the investigation should not stop now-Ari-

EXIT RALPH CAMERON

The eectorate-the clean thinking honest citi-
zens of Arizona, both Democratic and Republican
ehas spoken and Ralph Cameron, the worst political
bunk artist that has backened the Of the state
Of Arizona has been retired to the limbo Of defeated
candidates where he rightfuly belongs.
With majority of around 1000 Carl Hayden,
Arizonas representative in Congress, has been pro-
noted by the people of his native state to seat in
the Senate and the good people of the state to be
congratulated on having exercised their fine judg
Inent.
y When there comes a time to exercise the ballot
and Arizonas future is at stake, the people of Ar-
can always be depended upon to do the common
sense thing Hence the reegating to the political
scrap heap of Ralph Cameron and all of his political
hangerson who have used the office of United States
Senator to further their own ends.
There has neYer~been such rotten campaign
within the history of Arizona since statehood, as
conducted by Ralph Cameron during the general cleo
ton campaign just ended Flinging consistency and
: common decency to the Winds Cameron fitted about
the state from the Grand Canyon to the Mexican bor
der, and from California to the New Mexico line,
promising everything under the sun and claiming to
his credit everything that has been done for the state
In Washington during the past five years.
At times it looked as if Cameron would get away
with his bunk, and it took the combined courage of
every ardent supporter Of Carl Hayden to counteract
the lies and dirty propaganda spread by the man who
will after next January no longer disgrace the state
United States Senator from Arizona.
Cap2eron's last minute coup in calling for an in
vestigation alleging "slush fund" campaign
looks if it will enmesh him in his own web of polit
ica trckery was one of the crownng tricks Of the
campaign but he cut his fuse too short and instead
Of misleading the voters of Arizona from the issues
of the campaign it appears that before the investiga
ton is concluded Cameron, himself will be involeved
in the nire Of sush he wrongfuy tried to fasten
on Carl Hayden
Carl Hayden, on the other hand backed by the
State Democratic committee and every clean-think-
ing citizen in the state made honorable clean and
truthful campaign, and he won.
Exit Cameron forever, and from January 1st
1927, Arizona can feel honored with Carl Hayden as
her United States Senator instead Of having to hang
her head in shame has been the case since Ralph
Cameron bilked the people into eecting him to that
high office in 1920

scriptiOn of San Antonio's premier
resort, Medina Lake. This beautiful
body of water, mirroring blue skies
and fleecy clouds, and containing
sparkling depths in which the fish
can be seen among the green MOSES,
is approximately 81 miles from this
city over paved highways.
The dam, 164 feet high, 1880 feet
in length, which forms this immense
body of water, represents an invest
ment of about $12,OO0,OO0 when the
irrigation project as whole is con-
sidered. This beautiful lake is
formed with a background of cedar
covered mountains and is about
1850 feet above sea level, giving
healthful atmospheric conditions and
cooling breezes the year around.
Boating, swimming, camping, horse
back riding, fishing, hunting, and all
forms of outdoor sports are to be
found at Medina Lake throughout
the year under the most ideal con-
ditions.
