AUTOMOBILE DEATHS

There a report weeks ago, that certain
cities had reduced their their motor mortality rates
this year. and people began to hope that genuine i'm
provement had begun. The department of
merce, however, says that while some communities
have gained the country whole has lost In the
&c larger cities of the country the annual death rate
this year is about 1879 per 100000 people, while last
year during the period, the rate 179.
The very great increase in number of automobiles
in proportion to the population must be taken into
consideration. The percentage may be larger per
number of people, but it is probably smaller per 1OO
600 automobiles Figured in any manner it is still
far too high.

 CRITICAL CLERGY
Miss Watkins Replies to Dr,
 ArCher'S Protests

New Haven. Conn. Dec. 30.-Ex- pressing surprise that a professor in q divinity school should take eX- ception to her calling the attention of the public to the existence of what she characterizes as deplor- able condition, as she has done in her play chicago, Miss Maurine Watkins today replied to criticism expressed by Prof. John C. Archer of the Yale Divinity school. Prof. Archer after seeing Chicago" de- scribed it as too vile to put before the public"
 Miss Watkins is second year student in the Yale department of drama and her play was written last year.
 owe agreed with Professor Archer that the situation in the city of Chicago is deplorable,' Miss Wat kins said. What surprises me is that he Of all persons, a divinity school professor. should condemn the action of calling attention to evil. Does he suppose the way to combat 1t is to ignore it? I wonder whether, in his sermons Prof, Archer prctends that the world is a rose garden and sCrupulously avoids the unpleasant side of things.
 More than likely he speaks Of evil conditions himself I do the same thing, only the stage enables mo to make it more realistic. I take it that he objects to my pub lie portrayal of the matter. Then why, when he evidently thinks my play an evil. does he do exactly what he criticizcs me for doing-de- nounce evil to the public. Prof. Archer has not only made q public denunciation of my particular public denunciation. but he has made it of the very idea of denouncing pub liCly. It makes rather q tanglc, you sec, with Prof. Archer at one end of if critizing the very thing he is doing himself through other means"
 Hugh Osborn. assistant to Profes- sor Baker commenting on Miss Wat kins' work. said it had been given a mark of 9S by Prof. Baker when first written. He described the play as "one of the most significant in the past several seasons"

FOOTBALL COACHES
 CHANGED OFTEN
Grid Mentors Discuss StabiliZ-
 ing Their Profession

New York, Dec. 30 Lf9-College football coaches, A. A. Stagg, vet eran coach of the University of Chicago, told the annual convention of the American Football Coaches association here today. Stagg's re- port as chairman of a committee football coaching" was read by Hugo Bezdek, Penn State coach, in the absence of the Chicago mentor, who is in Florida.
 A survey based on study of 120 colleges and universities, said the report, showed that for the eight years following the great war, 379 football coaches were employed, an average of IT to a college, with the average life of q coach in these colleges only ? 1-5 years. Sixteen colleges retained their coaches throughout the eight-year period, l2 kept the same man for seven years, nine for six years, IS for five years, 3l for jour years, 51 for three years, 92 for two years, and 14O for one year.
 Mr. Stagg accounted for the mor- tality in coaches by the demand of alumni and students to have win ming teams. the form of organiza- tion governing athletics in many colleges and criticism " news papers.
 The need for greatest improve ment, the report suggested, lies in education of alumni, the general public and students to regard inter- collegiate football contests as game in which honor and nothing else is at stake.
 Coaches, themselves, Mr. Stagg pointed out, must assume q part of the responsibility. Poorly trained men should not undertake task for which they are not properly equipped, and they should know conditions at the college before ac- cepting assignments.
 Some colleges have been regu- lar cemeteries for coaches" Stagg ayoWed.

CHICAGO GRAFT]S
 UP IN MILLIONS
Estimates Put It at S30,000,.
 900 Annually

Chicago, Dec. 30 LPi-Graft from liquor, vice and gambling in the Chi cago district was estimated at S30,- coo, 900 annually by Edwin A. Olson, United States district attorney, in a report of the four years of his in- cumbency, which soon will expire, forwarded to Washington yesterday,
 "The booze business could not cX- ist in any community without the protection of crooked officials" re- ported Mir. Olson. with the observa- ton that occasion to study the boot. leggcr at close range had revealed to him the net work of his protec- ton from the gunman "clear up to the hypocrites who sit in high places"
 His four years experience has convinced him. he said, that the manufacture and sale of liquor as a business can be stopped in the Chi Cago district whenever the govern- meut receives proper cooperation from local law enforcement officials.
 Even without such cooperation the problem is not unsurmountabls, but it will take longer
 The liquor law has not made Of Hcials turn crooked, but merely has provided the already crooked officials with an added source Of revenue, he observed.
 'It has been estimated that the -raft collected from booze. vice and crime in this district amounts to the princely sum of s30,000,0 0Q0 q year.
 The influence Of S30,0Q0.000 of yearly graft money is force 10 be reckoned with in politics. IL reaches into high places It finances cam paigns. IL will stop at nothing to prevent the prosecution and punish mont of its beneficiaries or to dis credit and destroy any honest public official who refuses to touch its dirty money or 10 listen to its seductive offers of political advancement.
 He termed the injunction the most effective weapon to enforce prohibit ion, but asserted that Chicago au- thorities refuse to invoke the remedy.
 Instead, the Chicago police depart ment presents his office about thirty paddock cases q month and those, with "an equal number from the prohibition department and private agencies, are disposed of by q federal judge"
 The report showed permanent liquor injunctions had been ob- tained, padlocking for one year real estate and improvements valued at more than s50.00O,o including 52 breweries, totalled 2,145.
 'Yes, liquor laws can be enforced, but not by politicians" was Olson's final observation. The law enforce ment machinery must be placed in the hands of those who believe in their enforcement and enforcibility. The day is not yet here, but it is on the way. The Nolstead act has given the government weapon by which rccreant officials can be driven from office.'

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY?
prescott Courier)

When primary election campaign
closes the successful candidates and
their supporters should extend to the
vanquished goodwill and cheer; they
should be big enough to accept VIC
tory with becoming grace. And the
losers ought to bow to the will of the
majority and unite with those who
won, so that the triumph of the NOM
inees in the general election can be
assured.
The defeated democrats in the re-
cent primary and those who helped
them try to win have rallied to the
standard of the aspirants who were
chosen, and have displayed a spirit
of forgetfulness which is fine to see.
Both Ellinwood and Cox have
promised Governor Hunt their sim
cere aid--and it is aid which he sore
ly will need. The governor has ac-
knowledged their proffers with
splendid enthusiasm. That much is
worthy of those who have at heart a
desire for the democrats to win on
November 2.

But now ABOUT some OF the COVER
nor's closest supporters
What are they doing in this hour
when the call for party harmony
should be given earnest heed?
There are three newspapers in the
state which gave to Governor Hunt
all the energy and assistance they
could command in the primary. It
was their privilege and right. But
they appear to think the primary
campaign still is going on.
The Miami Silver Belt, owned by
Cleve Van Dyke and the most influ-
entail journal among those which
fought for the governor, on the day
after the primary ran two columns
of slurs on Ellinwood. 1t attacked
him and sought to belittle the nearly
10000 voters who cast their ballots
for him. What it said was bitterer
than any of its aspersions during the
campaign.
The Tucson Independent, another
publication which was steady in its
support of the governor, still is rail-
ing at Ellinwood, and printing un-
truths which are mean and low.
There is another paper in Phoenix
called the Arizona State Journal,
weekly, which last Saturday used all
the venom it could summon in assail-
ing Ellinwood, and it ran cartoon
in which the supporters of Ellin-
wood were represented as being de
ported from the democrtic party
as if "Cameron-Maddock-V Dyke
democrats" could shut the party's
doors to anyonei The most disheart-
ening thing about this issue of the
"mud-slinging" paper was an unus-
ually large advertisement from Gov.
Hunt in which he thanked the people
for their support, and voiced a plea
for harmony The State Journal,
too, is openly supporting Senator
Cameron.
Then, there are few Prescott
supporters of Governor Hunt in the
primary who seem to be endeavering
to drive out of the party those who
were not for the governors nomina-
tion--and in spite of the fact that
the governor, the first time in his
political career, failed to get a ma
jority of the votes cast in the Yava-
pal primary.
The Courier does not believe Gov
crnor approves of such tactics.
The voters who were against the
governor in the primary were sim
cere. They had perfect right to
support whomever they pleased. They
also are eager and willing to abide
by the decision of the party, and do
what they can for the nominees in
the general election. PROVIDED
THEIR HELP IS WANTED. But if
the friends of the governor desire to
drive from him the voters who failed
to give him their ballots in the pri-
mary election, they probably partial
" can succeed in doing so.
The attitude of these "irreconcil-
ables" will lead to disruption; it will
create divisions which will endanger
the whole democratic ticket, both
state and county-and IT MUST BE
CHANGED. The olive branch must
replace the poison ivy, and soon.
This is no time for the winners to
gloat and berate; their sickly mouth
ings should be stopped, and the gov
ernor himself should stop it.
But there is this consolation; the
three papers which are seeking to
stain democracy with disloyalty
themselves are party traitors, for
they are giving frenzied support to
Cameron and doing their utmost to
bring Carl Hayden to defeat. Hence,
in drawing conclusions, the source
must be considered, for there may
be hidden method in such madness.

you glad you're that way, and how
do you stand in crowd?
A man is a man-that's according

things alone, cause you want to, is

yourself about you. Your honest
