NOW HE KNOWS

The people of Indiana viii be glad to know that
Senator James E Watson now knows the real
facts about the Ware election in Pennsylvania
The news wires bring the information that a
very close friend of Ware took Watson into his
hdence and explained that vareism in Pennsylvania
is not bad and vicious.
1t may be remarked that the Reed Committee
dug up evidence that Ware had spent huge sums to
obtain the nomination, that bootleggers and crmi-
nails brought into the front line Of his army, that
he secured his office through all those practices
which many people lament part Of American life.
It may also be remembered that SO astonishing
was the situation that many Republican Senators
nounced in advance that they would not vote to
admit Ware to their body, If he was elected.
If there be any of the faithful who worried lest
Watson might be infected by this rather widespread
epidemic of hostility to Ware, they feel safer
now.
For it is announced that Watson, knowing the
facts VIII notabe among tose who oppose the seating
Of Ware.
He viii not be swerved by any tides Of public
anger against the use of money in elections
He will not be swayed. as a Norris or a Capper
Borah, by any demands that men who corrupt
electorate be refused admission to the United
States Senate.
Watson will stand firm, for he has been per-
suaded, it seems that Vareism is real American
ism, and something that should be supported and not
rejected
Watson, on other issues, has in other times
changed rapidly.
II is true that he stood for Newberry and
boasted about it. He never changed on that. He
has stood pat for the inaenable right of any can
didate to spend all the money he can collect or
blackjack from those Who have it.
There may be those among his friends who be-
lieve that day he would renounce this principle
Of politics and join with ssuch heretics who believe
that the of money should be at least limited
They may have suspected that his narrow margin
of victory, still under questionable doubt as to
whether 1t really victory at ALL might have
changed him and that he would deserSms44s staunch
plank of his platform.
Be treasured Senator Watson is still on the job
He has been satisfied by Ware and is for Vareism.
And there are still those who can see no comedy
or humor 10 this dull gray world.

HaII-MiIIs Case Proves
FaIIacy of Murder
VIII Out
By Nj. f. Tracy


Acduittal of the defendants leaves
but a question mark in the Hall
Mills case. The law has not only
failed to convict them, but what is
of vastly emore Importance, 1t has
failed to solve the riddle.
Hundreds of people are marked
for violent death by this latest
masterpiece of bungling.
The idea that murder can be COM
mitted without too great risk OF get
ting caught has been immeasurably
strengthened.
Justice Is being bought by too
many mysteries for criminals TO be
afraid. Who killed Billy McSwiggin,
Bert Donaldson and Don r. Mellett?

Bid InitiaIIy on Acer King

This is hand which is conv6n

players do not follow the conven.

q grave mistake to pass Ace-King
and three whether it be a. Major as'

Sp.; xxx. 1T; Xxx. Di.: IA.
Cl.. Ace-Kng INK.
But many contend that the Minor
bid is not justified because 1t may in.
duce the partner to call a disastrous
No Trump; and the Major is unwise
because it may induce the partner
to push the suit named to a con
tract which cannot be fulfilled. The
objection seems to he more pro
nounced in the case of the Minor
than the Major.
Initial suitbids Of one are made
with the intent Of giving informa
ton; any hand which justihes a bid
of one Spade, equally justines a bid
of one club--the high cards being
the same in both cases.
All that a Bridge player needs 10
do to be a winner each year is to
make the bids and plays which win
more than half the time; and my
experience convinces me that bid
ding with Ace-King and three others
works advantageously at least four
times out of every five. II tells the
partner that the hand contains two
quick tricks "a quick trick is either
an Ace or q. King-Queen of the same
suit an Ace and King OF the same
suit are two quick tricks, and IT. has
real value because a f1ve-card suit
headed by Ace-King will generally
produce two low card tricks. whether

II contains two quick tricks. Bid
ding a suit Of this character fire
quently shuts out a. No Trump OF
the left; and when the player on the
left does obtain the contract the
partner knows what to lead.
If Dealer with e-King-x.x.x Is
too weak to bid one when he does
not know where the other high cards
are located, It is obviously danger
GUS for him to bid two when the
holding is; pass, one No Trtfrnp
pass, pass. The bid of one rarely
results IN a loss, but the bid of two
may be doubled and severely pen
allied If tho suit be passed initially
and a No Trump declared on the left

Does the tall of a comet always
follow the nucleus?


Does the tail" of comet always
follow the nucleus?
The general features OF a comet
are a definite point or nucleus, a
nebulous light surrounding the nu-
cleus and a luminous train proceed
ing or following it. Formerly when
a train preceded the nucleus, as is
the case of a comet that has passed
perhelion and recedes from the sun
1t was called "the beard" and when
seen following the nucleus as the sun
is approached it was called ''the tail >"
This distinction, however, has dis
appeared from astronomical books
and the latter name is given to the
appendage whatever its position in
relation to the nucleus of the comet.
How long would it take to count
a million silver dollars?
Supposing man can count $50

twenty-three days. allowing twelve
hours per day.

Which is correct, facts affecting

Affect means to haye an effect
Upon: effect means to be the cause
or producer OF. Therefore both
clauses ARE correct depending upon
the idea to be conveyed.

IL Masonic Temple next Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock. He will
appear under the direction of The
Matinee Musicale.
Probably no one of the present
day pianists has achieved such a
brilliant record or become more no
table in our musical life than the
famous Frenchman, f. Robert
Schmitz.
Schmitz was born in Paris in 1889.
In spite of musical influences he did
not think of music as a career when
very young, though the study of
violin and piano began at the age
Of 10. However. Schmitz's musical
progress was so amazing that at IA,
he was playing both instruments in
public concerts. At 10 he entered
the conservatoire in both classes,
but was forced to give up the violin
a little later Upon his graduation
in 1910, he won first prize and the
next year toured Europe as a con-
cert pianist.
Among other activities, Schmitz
organized and conducted in Paris a
mixed chorus. Here later he formed,
under his leadership, a symphony or
chestra Of sixty pieces, forty-five be-
ing first-prize winners of the con-
servatoire. These choral and or
chestral concerts became famous.
Many sensational first performances
were given. and the versatility of
Mr.. Schmitz was emphasized by his
appearance as conductor, soloist and
lecturer on the same program.
Mr.. Schmitz first came to America
in 1919. winning immediate success
and arousing the unbounded enthu-
siasm Of the critics. Succeeding
wears have only served to strengthen
these first remarkable impressions.
Now this artist holds place unique.

IS THE BOY TO BLAME?

Said the son to the father, 81 would like new
aluminium finished roadster. | need three new
suits Of clothes, a new set of golf clubs, some
new sport shoes, a couple of hats and a new fish
ing outfit to go on my vacation"
Sure" said the father, "go down town and
buy these things and charge them to me-.
The following month the bills came in together
with "few' Others which were necessary to
round out the boys equipment for his holiday.
The father raised the roof with his complaints.
Naturally he got no sympathy as the wise ones
said it was his own fault for encouraging his
family in such extravaganza.
Along comes an election and candidates for
office or proponents of special measures tell us,
as taxpayers, that they would like few thous-
and dollars for this office, a million or two for
q new commission, ten million or 100 million for
some state enterprise, few more motor cars for
that bureau and dozens of extra jobs to pay po-
itical debts, not to mention several hundred new
laws to be passed by the state legislature.
We say, "Sure, that's alright" and vote for
the program year later the tax bill comes in
and then we raise the roof about the increasing
cost of government.
But do we deserve any sympathy? Are we
any different from the indulgent father? rs
Don't blame the boy and don't blame the of
flee holder too much, for the father is respon-
sible for the actions of his children and his FAM
ily expense, while we, as taxpayers are response
bic for the men we elect to office and our public
expense.

OUR PRIMARY LAW

IF there is one thing more than another which
should be demanded of the next legislature it IS
the repeal of the present primary law, or at least
a complete revamping of that faulty law.
The Arizona law was originally invented for
the purpose of keeping the two major parties
apart as far as possible since the democratic ma
iority was so large. It's inventors felt 1T would
perpetuate' the democratic party forever IN pow
er
It hasn't worked.
Minority candidates have usually been elected
when there were more than two in the race.
It has eventually resulted in putting the de-
serving but poor candidate out of the running.
1t is the most costly system yet tried out
1t has been rank failure SO far as giving the
poor man chance or preventing skullduggery in
politics. In fact it has left too many openings
for sharp practices. For instance, if party ne
elects to fill the ticket the way is left open for
a few voters to nominate ANDY Gump' for a
joke and his name sticks. The law says that rec
ognized party officials may complete their ticket
after the primaries are held, nevertheless, a
handful of voters may connive and take the right
away. Every primary election shows number
of voters who look upon an election as huge
joke and write their jokes on the ballot.
California has solved the problem to some ex-
tent Each voter is given ticket with the name
of all candidates of all parties printed upon it..
When q candidate receives majority of all votes
cast he is elected and does not have to make an
other campaign at the general election

JUST SOCKS!
(Tucson Starr

A salesman appeared in our office
yesterday. He set his black sample
case down and started to make him
self at home.
We looked inquiringly, wondering
if he were selling newspaper feat
ures, life insurance or neckties.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning" (suspiciously).
Il have some very durable socks" !"
the salesman began.
"As resident of Tucson, we are
not interested in your socks. We be-
lieve in trading at home," was our
reply (perhaps bit too curtly).
"But my socks are very durable" !"
he persisted.
Undoubtedly you sell fair socks.
We are not interested" We turned
to our typewriter.
"But may | not show you how ex-
cellently-" he insisted.
"We are not interested"
"But my socks are more reason
able, cost less than" the salesman
was retreating toward the door with
a volley of words.
"We are not interestedw Our
keys began to click the mornings
morning.
My socks are more reasonable,
cost less
That is the same old talk by the
same old style peddler, house to
house, office to office, peddler who
comes into Tucson from outside the
state, trying to sell goods at cut
rates. The cost may be cut-and SO
may the quality.
When a person buys from an out
of-town peddler, he pays all the
costs that are paid to local merch-
ant for overhead expenses plus COM
missions to the peddler. If the
goods are sold at lower price than
those paid local merchants, the re-
duction must come out of the goods,
not out of the manufacturers or
salesmans profit. Therefore an in
ferior article is apt to be sold to pur-
chasers believing they are getting a
bargain"
By trading with peddlers, citizens
are not supporting home industries
and home business. When purch-
ase is made from a peddler, in most
cases there is no guarantee that the
goods will be as represented. When
purchase is made from store, the
store stands back of them as guar
antee.

A FINE TESTIMONIAL

We'd very much liked to have been present
at Holbrook when Bryan Brothers, editors and
publishers of the Tribune, were handed a full
page advertisement, all set in type by loyal en-
ployes without their knowledge, paid for by the
business men of Holbrook, extending congratu-
lations to the Holbrook Tribune and it's publish
ers, Bryan Brothers. on the event of their big
web press just installed. The big paid page ad-
vertisement in their own paper said
'It is consistent with a spirit of progress, to
add still better facilities for newspaper service
and the advancement of Holbrook, Navajo coun-
ty and the state of Arizona. And it is the eXem-
phfication of success that rewards sincere and
conscientious service to the community. We
join in extending sincere good wishes for the
continued success of, the Hobrook Tribune and
its publishers, Bryan Brothers"
Wen venture to remark this touching testimo-
nial warmed the cookies of the Bryan boys
hearts and caused some dampness about their
eyes.

Arizona is one of the purchase by
G. Henry Stetson of 300-acre,
$50O,00O ranch near San Fernando in
