Police Reporter Describes
Sensations Of Race
Through Night.

White-capped cooks in all-night res
taurants along the street have desert
ed their kitchens.
One by one they peer from doors,
half ajar, like stars timidly seeking
their places in the sky. 1t is the
sound" and, strangely, it draws them
like the power of a magnet.
The morning "doughnut run" SIM
mers in its lake of grease and steaks

ter Of both stands at the front door.
Odors assail his nostrils, but the OIL
factory nerves are stunned by that
which strikes the eardrums.
Faint, at first, then rising high like
the reeds of a symphony, it grows
steadier. None but the violin can ap-
proach it for weird effect as it now
rises and falls with a cadence eq1al
to poetry.
MARIA MAKES Run.
1t has caught them like an elemen-
tai fear.
Necks crane farther from the doors;
the sound has come closer and beats
at the ear with fascination not to be
denied. Two glaring headlights grasp
for the darkness, spreading little pools
of shadows over the street.
The screaming meteor Of the night
has passed. Somewhere a victim OF
accident, knife or bullet awaits the
coming of the police ambulance.
On down through the thin line of
people who line the sidewalk it passes,
bobbing over the pavements as a fish
erman's cord.
"Where?" The city's population
of the night turn and ask each other.
With the petulance of a child they
wheel upon one another as each is
greeted with: II wonder?,
CAUSE FOR WONDER.
But there is a person who sits be-
side the driver with words racing
through his brain. which he would like
to shout out to those along the walk.
Il know where they're going,
They are words--as primeval in
their mental conception as the chants
of religious barbarians. Meaningless
they fly through the brain of the driy-
ers companion until their coming and
going approaches. the monotony of a
refrain. .-t.
The crowd catch a glimpse of him
as he leans out from behind the wind
shield to feel the wind beat against his
face.
ADVENTURE GALORE.
Enviously, they ask: "Who 10
he?,
"a police reporter" someone know
ingly replies.
Gosh, 1 would like to be that guy"
That guy" has never known the
roll Of ships deck beneath his feet.
He has never felt the press of hot
flames of forest fire at his back
nor has he known the first numbness
Of freezing. But under the spell of
the unearthly siren he has experienced
each of the sensations and lived a
thousand new adventures.

THE REQUIREMENTS.

Drawing the fury of all relatives and
"in-laws," Mr.. Whitley speaks as fol-
lows concerning the ideal family man:
He is one who loves woman in
spite Of her relatives, and what they
might do TO his household after he has
taken unto himself the woman as his
wife,"
Rather hard Jolt to hand the "in-
laws" Mr.. Whitley said, "but they
more often than anything else are the
cause of marital troubles in what 9th
orwise would be a happy home.
His looks don't have anything to
do with it, for after all people realize
that beauty is only skin deep aud

LOVE KIDDIES.
Usually it is found that an ex-
ceptionally beautiful woman will mar
ry man only ordinarily good looking,
and vice versa. In these instances,
however, usually you will find that
the one less endowed with beauty has
some especially strong characteristic

When family troubles get into the
divorce courts, the father is the one
TO show love for his children, the clerk
said.
All classes of fathers are ideal in
this respect, he said. for very seldom
is it that a father fails to do right

THE MUNICIPAL ISSUE

The municipal political pot, which
has been simmering ever since Ma
yor Frank A. Jefferson caused an
explosion by his surprise announce
ment of his candidacy for mayor, un-
known to anyone, apparently, except
himself and friends in various civic
organizations who urged him to an
nounce, and which simmered more
furiously when City Commissioner
A. L. Boehmer, well known citizen,
announced himself for reelection on
the mayors ticket and platform,
boiled over and ran down the sides
this week. Charles E. Morton, the
we'll known florist, announced as a
candidate for the city commission on
the ticket with Mayor Jefferson and
Commissioner Boehmer.
Fresh fuel was added to the fire
under the political pot when an op-
position ticket came into the field
at the last minute. The candidates,
Messrs. Hackett, Dr. Conner and w.
T. Barr, seemed somewhat surprised
to hear of their own announcement
and did not seem quite sure who
was announcing them.
The usual "citizens committee"
composed of persons not yet identi-
fled to the public, is supposed to
have announced the opposition ticket
to the mayors ticket. No platform,
no policies were announced. The
ticket is called an independent tick
et," but as yet nobody knows just
who or what it is independent of.
The gentlemen composing the op-
position ticket are all fine men and
good citizens, but the mayor and his
running mates have announced for
rehabilitation of the city street rail-
way system. That is a vital issue.
The mayors ticket stands on a plat
form of rehabilitation of the street
transportation system without an in
crease of taxes. That is another
good thing. The mayors ticket has
also announced for policy of trans
portation at cost to the consumer.
That is an excellent thing They
have also announced that they intend
to make known their plan of ac-
complishing this rehabilitation of the

vestigation," say some hard things
about the corporations and let it go
at that, believing the people will
forget before the next election day
rolls around-and, unfortunately, the
people usually do forget.
But this is one time in Phoenix
the people will not forget the issue
because every citizen is interested
every day in seeing the street rail
way situation improved
Hundreds of citizens are driving
their automobiles down town and
trying to find places in the congest-
ed area to park their machines, when
they would rather ride the street
cars if they could have an adequate,
comfortable service.
Scores of business men know that
Phoenix is losing money every day
because out-of-town customers dread
to come into this city to do their
u duII1S OH oCOOuut VI ChO IAOUOAO
they have in finding parking space
for their automobiles, and the danger
of being fined for over parking.
The parking space now used by
residents of Phoenix should be made
available to those living out of the
city who come here to DEAL That
can only be brought about by an ade-
quate street railway service, which
Mayor Jefferson and his running
mates have promised to accomplish
if it can be done.
The citizens of Phoenix, humping
over the high centers of the street
railway tracks wearing out their ma
chimes and wrecking their nerves,
are entitled to a street car service
which will enable them to save the
wear and tear on machinery, nerves
and patience.

money, before the primaries, SO the
are voting for when they vote for
the candidates-and that is a mighty
good thing.
Now the people would like to
know what policies the opposition
ticket stands on. "a business admin
istration'' is an empty phrase which
means nothing whatever to the tax
payer We have a business admin
istration now 1t has been a good
administration. But vital issue at
this time is the rehabilitation of the
street railway system. City Mana
ger Henry Reiger and Mr. Newcom
er have done a good job of keeping
the street cars running, but the city
manager has big job on his hands,
and can give little time to the direct
management of the street railway
system. In it's present condition no
man can manage it and make it eff
cient 1t has to be rehabilitated.
The big issue in which the people
are interested is an adequate service
at cost under efficient management,
all of which must be provided by
money not raised by an increase in
taxes.
Ii or
have promised to find out for the
people whether such an accomplish
ment is possible, and if so, what it's
method will be. He has promised to
make this plan known before the pri-
maries He has made a definite
promise of an administration for the
people, of the people and by the peo-
pie, so conducted that the people
may know each day how their bust
ness is being conducted That is the
sort of government a growing city
like Phoenix needs and must have.
That is the sort of government to
attract the best element of citizens
from all parts of the country to this
city to help use the facilities and
help pay the taxes.
1t is easy for politicians to bring
forward some such old, familiar
stock campaign issue as gas or elec-
trio rates. They can appeal to the
taxpayers pOcketbook on those is
sues by such general and meaning
less phrases as "soulless corpora
tions," "extortionate rates." and
high living expenses" But it is one
thing to talk about reducing rates
for gas and electricity, and another
thing to accomplish it. Politicians
have from the day gas and electricity

WILL CONTINUE ICED
CAR until SEPT. /

A message today. Friday, to Lo-
cal Agent R. r. Woods from C. O.
Bradshaw, general manager of the
c. M. & St. Paul railroad. says
that the iced car for the shipment
of early fruits and vegetables from
this valley will be continued by the
company until September /.
The tonnage for the car has been
running a little light lately and
there was some talk that it might
be discontinued. A petition signed
quite generally by the growers in
the valley, asking that the car be
kept in service, was sent to the
officials of the Milwaukee last
week and Mr.. Bradshaw's message
is in answer to the petition. This
will be welcome news to the grow
ers. as the iced car permits the
stuff to arrive on the Coast in fine
condition and has its part in keep
ing up good pr ices.
