Coming Attractions in

NATIONAL-"Peg o. My Heart"

Laurette Taylor's most noted stage
success, Peg O. My Heart" which
has graced every stage of Importance
in this country and abroad, will do a
return engagement at the National
Theater next week, this time in the
keeping of the National Players.
Though a good share of the world
has seen Peg" the rising generation
has not, and there still is that portion
of the playgoing element which has
seen it only once, and three times is
considered a reasonably legal number
of visitations.
'Peg" recites the fortunes of an
Irish waif who is decided to an ariSto-
cratic male keeper whose establish
ment she disrupts until the fieeting
months reveal to him that there is
more loyalty and understanding in
her elfish little body than in all his
own circle Of lady friends. The re-
suit can be imagined.

THE CONCERN SHOULD BE FOR THE PUBLIC
AND NOT FOR THE CANDIDATES

AS we have before remarked the object of leg
islation for curtailing the excessive of money
in political campaigns is not to eQuallZe the
chances of rich men and poor men before the cleo
torate Such a purpose would rest on a perver-
sion Of the correct theory that officers are Gre
ated for the good of the public and not for that
of the individual. Whatever the officeholder en-
ioys in the way of honor or emOlument is only
incidental. These things come to him not in the
way Of charity or reward. The public owes him
nothing.
The candidate should be allowed to spend all
that may be necessary to let the public know why
in his opinion he should be elected to office; why
he would probably be able to render a better pub
lie service than an opponent could render. The
public is entitled to all the information that can
be given it concerning the respective merits of
candidates. 1t should not be deprived of this IN
formation concerning the claims of candidate
who is financially able to present them, because
some other candidate is so financially situated
that he cannot properly present his claims. The
latter is unfortunate just, and in the same degree
as he is unable to accomplish by the expenditure
of money many other things that those more for
tunately placed may do.
There is no more reason for insisting that all
men should be placed on the same financial plane
with respect to office-Seeking than that the law
should place them on the same level as to the
purchasing Of say, automobiles. No one, for in
stance, would propose law forbidding the ex-
penditure of $4,000 for Rolls-Royce, because
some other citizens would have to be content with
much cheaper car or none at all.
If we are to accept the theory that all citizens
are entitled to equal privileges and opportunities
in running for office, that is that public office is
private snap, an arrangement should be made by
the state under which the state should pay all the
expenses of office seekers from the circulation OF
nominating petitions until the last vote has been
gathered in on the day of the general election, and
no other or private expenditures should be al
lowed Then all would have an equal opportunity
that is, all the candidates would have, and II the
state should put up enough money, the public
would not be denied the opportunity to find out
all about the candidates in equal measure.
But we need not worry about the candidates,
rich or poor. The public concern should be for the
public-Arizora Republican

LET'S HAVE AN ARMISTICE

1t may be that the state of Arizona has gone
too far in committing itself to the state highway
department and cannot now secede from the
union. However, we do believe, after reading the
evidence in the recent controversy over highway
methods during election periods, that there
should be some protocol issued until the taxpayers
have an opportunity to reorganize their defeated
and depleted forces.
If the state legislature finds it impossible to
ascertain where we are ''at' financially speaking
an armistice should be called to give both sides an
opportunity to check up men, salaries politics and
roads partly accomplished. Just because the state
highway department has invented an $800,000
rut is sign that the state should accept the rut
and issue more rut bonds.
AS near as we can see the situation, the state
highway department is not responsible for the
debt. 1t was mostly overhead tax.
The state is not responsible because it is not re-
sponsible for it's state highway department The
government of the United States isn't responsible
because the state of Arizona isn't responsible for
federal aid projects.
There are many people who object to the kind
of roads they are compelled to detour from cleo
ton year to election year. Of course their objec
tions are made because they do not understand our
local state political situation. We believe that at
least 33 13 per cent of the money should be spent
on roads to help make the roads passable. That, we
believe is but fair; the rest should go to political
overhead.

HOGGING THE HONoRS
(Los Angeles Timesl


When Col. Reuben Bland of Rober-
sonville, N. c., read in his local news
paper that Leander Gentle of Georgia
had been received and honored by
President Coolidge and congress as
the father of twenty-eight children
he tossed his head disdainfully and
remarked, "Only twenty-eight! / can
beat that mile" SO he bought a
ticket for Washington and was forth
with presented at the White House
and in the house of representatives
as the proud sire of no less than
thirty-four sons and daughtrs, some
large, some small and others of mid
die size. But, sad to say, just as in
the Gentle case, congress made no
inquiry whatever about mama, all
the honors going to papa, who was
loudly applauded. Honors should
have been paid to the maternal as
we'll as the paternal side of the house.
What unprecedented person well in
formed on the biological facts per-
tanning to maternity would not, in a
case of this kind, prefer to honor the
mother rather than the father? No
wonder that a fair-minded eastern
critic has risen to say that in such a
case the husband should be the OBJ
ject not of congressional applause,
but of congressional investigation.

OUR POLITICAL CLOTHES

prescott Journal-Miner)
William M. Butler, as chairman of
the Republican National Committee
acted as presiding officer and prin-
cipal speaker at a session of the Re-
publican National Committee women
and associates which was held in
Washington during the week. In the
course of his address he said:
"There are too many of us who
have grown to believe that party af-.
filiation like an outer garment can
be taken on or off according to the
individual wl1im, and that continuity
of effort is not even a passing neces-
sity.
"There are those I know who feel
that the republican party has already
achieved so strong position in the
confidence of the people of our ma
tion that additional effort is hardly
necessary. There are many signs
which apparently Justify this belief.
But the very confidence which the
people already have in us imposes a
special and particular responsibility.
1t is not enough to hold; we must adj
vance. We have an obligation not
only to preserve the traditions Of the
past, but to respond to the great new
movements and developments of our
national existence.
"We cannot ignore the danger of
the increasing disinclination on the
part of many Of our citizens to join
in the political activities not only of
our party but all political movements.
"Whatever the explanation, we are
faced with the fact that there is de-
veloping in this country by reason OF
the failure of our citizens to exercise
their franchise, disinclination to take
on any responsibility whatsoever for
the kind of character Of our govern
ment or the men who guide its des-
TIMES.
1--WE have before us as / see it a
primary obligation to awaken the
people of the country at large to the
Importance, the responsibilities, the
privileges of citizenship and in this
work the women will do their part.
Political parties like other or
ganizations, need money and have
only one method to secure it, namely
by appeals to those who believe in
the principles and the policies upon
which the party is founded. A dis
tinguished senator recently offered
q solution for this problem, namely,
that the federal government itself
pay all the expenses of political cam
paigns, but his remedy as / see it
would only make bad matter worse.
1t would result in the control Of po-
litical campaigns by the government
and tend to the denial of the freedom
of the people in exercising their
franchise.
"There are great number of peo-
pie in the country who believe that
the government has already gone
quite far enough in seeking to control
the free exercise of the rights Of

CHERRY TREE STORY IS NOT A MYTH

The story of George Washington and the cherry
tree, which some of our educators now declare to
be merely tradition, is not a myth, but an actual
happening, according to H. O. Bishop, who writes
about this incident of Washington's boyhood IN
the current issue of the National Republic The
man who put the cherry tree story into print vas
"ParsOn" Weems, a distinguished Episcopal
clergyman of Revolutionary days, who spent
much time in the neighborhood in which Wash
ington lived as a boy. Mr.. Bishop continues:
Parson' Weems' book has been ridiculed be-
cause the author was not professional historian,
quarter ago, is in the somewhat Stilted style OF
that period. He was minister of the gospel
whose book appeared while hundreds of intimates
of Washington, and even boyhOod neighborS were
still living, and it was more dangerous than it is
today to tell lie about Washington. He was also
guilty of selling his own and other books through
the countryside of Virginia and other states, but
in so doing he was performing real service in a
day when books were scarce If anyone doubts
his ability, let him read what 'Parson' Weems
had to say about the American form of govern
ment, with force and eloquence not often sur
passed, as printed in this issue of the National
Republic.
Il have made some research on the subject OF
Parson' Weems, shis biography of Washington
and the cherry tree story and as a result declare
the belief that what is declared myth by those
who make business of trying to root up patriotic
traditions, is no myth at all, but a true story
true In itself and true in the impressionit gives
to the devotion of George Washington to the high
virtue of truth-telling, especially when his honor
was involved. If the attackers of this story have
any proof of their assertions, let them come for
ward with them-but venture the assertion that
they have none. Here is the result of an investi-
cation which have recently made in the Library
of Congress and various other sources. ."-( Can

IF ADVERTISING SHOULD CEASE
(Tucson starr

William Allen White, the Kansas
editor, recently told the New York
Advertising club that if advertising
should cease 'the slow decay and ul-
innate collapse of the entire world
would follow"
Strong words, but White means
what he says. Advertising is so
closely linked with the things that we
buy as to become very integral part
of our commerce and culture, as well
as a source of information and ad-
vice.
Advertising is the greatest help
sound product could have. At the
same time the faulty product falls by
the same medium.
: With competition, of course there
are bound to be evils-the evils IF
untruth and exaggeration. But these
are, after all, evils Of the system and
not advertising. The system itself is
the source Of the advertising, and adj
vertising helps the system to flourish.
Competition destroys the undesir-
able and advertising helps in that
process, speeding up the elimination
of what is unfit.

wORsHIPING MOOT HEROIsM
(Nogales Herald)

Flappers and other curiosity seek
ers cheered Robert w. Browning
when he appeared in a Carmel, N. j.,
court for trial against his 16-year-old
wife, Peaches" But why did they
cheer. We don't know, and probably
not one who gave Browning the APP
plause knows. People have got to
idolize something. Editorially we
know nothing of the facts in the
Browning case. 1t is perhaps no
worse or no better than thousands of
other cases of matrimonial difficulty.
But matters seem to be in a stage
nowadays that people will becomes
'hero" worshipers regardless of the
'hero' under consideration. They
will also cheer man when he beats
or becomes involved with the law; but
you seldom hear of anybody cheer
ing the law; or those entrusted with
its enforcement, when they beat the
law-breaker. Funny little old world
this is.
