STATE DRY LAW TO BE
CHANGED?
(Arizona Republican,

The movement of Arizona druggists
as reported from Douglas for an
amendment of the states dry law
with respect to alcohol for industrial
and medicinal uses and wines for re-
igious ceremonies will perhaps result
in affording test of the prohibition
sentiment in the state. In the mean
time prohibitionists viii probably put
forth an amendment for the more
rigid enforcement Of the law. These
two amendments provided the former
is honestly offered, would not neces-
sarily conflict if they both should look
to the certain and more rigorous pun
ishment of those Abo violate the law,
as it is or as it may be after any
amendment

REMARKS OF THE GANG

it. Corporations and banks do not
pay good money for poor lawyers and
inexperienced bank presidents.
Governor Hunt claims as zone Of
the crowning achievements" during
his administration the protection af-
forded the public during a period of
financial crisis with his Constructive
policies" in banking. The governor
must have shut his eyes and closed
his ears when 'he wrote that. How
many banks have failed under Gov
ernor Hunts administration?
Governor Hunt holds "that Arizona
has an inherent right in the Colorado
river and it is the duty of the gov
ernor to fight for those rights" In
that he has no quarrel with Mr.. Ell
linwood. But what has the governor
done? Arizona's rights are no more
established than when the state join
ed the Union; in five terms Cover
nor Hunt has done nothing-in the
same time California has been laying
net to grab the river.
On the whole, the governors re-
ply is devoid of anything that can be
termed good pollCIcdI argument; FaIn-
er, it is not even an orderly and log
ical answer to Mr.. Ellinwood's s
charges.
Saying "Taint Soi" proves nothing.
Governor Hunt cannot prove that his
administration has been efficient and
economic, for it has not He knows
this, and the people know it.
Pl1t one fhinor however the oov-
ernor's statement does not prove, that
is that he does not know which way
to turn. ''To run or not to run, y
still remains an unanswered question
for the governor.

The people generally are beginning to realize
what lot of bunk the average primary law IS.
1t works about the same wherever tried. Instead
of giving the "poor man chance" it proves con-
clusively that the man with the money has about
all the advantage Instead of one election two
must be held Instead of majority candidate
being selected by his party, it is more often the
minority candidate Both parties are dead set
against the primary law, at least they say they
are, but no one seems to have nerve enough to do
anything about it.

1t is difficult to convince the folks back east
that Arizona is one of the most diversified states
of the Union Last June Arizona held the record
for having the coldest and the warmest weather
in the United States all at the same time 1t was
Ia at Yuma and 48 at Flagstaff. Plenty of snow
on the San Francisco peaks at Flagstaff while it
is some het up in the lower country. All you
have to do is to name the variety of climate you
most desire when coming to Arizona and it can
be provided within few miles apart.

A number of Englishmen had found
a Scotsman in their company some
what exasperating because he in
sisted on claiming as fellow country
men almost every great man whose
name cropped up in the course of the
conversation.
What about Shakespeare" de-
manded one of them. you're not
going to tell US that he was a Scots
man, are you?"
The Scot agreed that he wasn't.
"But, mind you," he added, "judg-

man one might almost be justified in
assuming that he was"

Movha He Didn,t Mean 1t

An old story IS gong The ROUNDS.
A minister was caught in thunder
shower on the way to church and got
dripping wet. He sat in an unheat-
ed anteroom, trying to dry off little
before he appeared before his con-
gregation. An old deacon found him
there.
"I'm hardly fit object to stand up
before the people, am |, Brother
Brown" he said.
ooh, I'd go ahead in" said Dea-
con Brown. "YouSH be dry enough
when you get in the pulpit"

His Son Was Smart

"Yes,'' said the busy barber, never
too busy to talk, my son is smart,

but he learns quick sent him to
high school and he learned so fast
that at the end of the first year the
superintendent told him he need not
attend any more. Then | got him
into the army. He enlisted for three
years, but learned so fast he didn't
have to stay but two years. 1t says
right on his discharge papers, Tor

The High Line Canal association is now circu-
lating an Initiative petition which asks for $780,
900 to investigate the Colorado river They only
wanted 100000 the last time they were refused.
Evidently the members of the association feel
since the river has gained so much political noto-
rety lately, it will cost more to investigate it.
Also, they may need the money.

The country paper is the nuceum of commun-

gress by the community. The country editor ex-
erts more of an influence on the community than
any other agency. He is the advance agent Of

of the country there is no doubt
amid the chaff a great deal Of wheat

far more in the expenditure of time

No Danger

1t is told Of State street physl-
cian-and that takes in lot of terri
tory-that frantic mother called his
office one night screaming, "Oh, doc

"Put some water on the goldfish
and go to bed," was the reply as the

Law is law in England. Good or bad it is en-

three young children was convicted of the murder

forcement.
