Then, Just the day before their marriage,

was law, passed by one administration and
enforced by the next the result of which was
to prevent husband and wife from holding

their dependents and were unwilling to sully
their love with secret affair. took to spending
happy but strained evenings in their rented
apartment.
Then Philip Rutledge. an old admirer of
Valerie's, began showing her. in subtle ways,
the ease and comfort his money could give
her. and Meals wealthy boss Communicated
him as escort to his wife and very pretty
daughter from the Middle West. Hazel at once

AN OPEN LETTER

AZ VA1Ns - Os A<O
Nogales, Arizona,
July II, 1885.
Dear Sir:
Your verbal caStigation Of the
members of the city council is very
unfair to some of the members OF
the board of aldermen and particu-
larly unfair and distasteful to the
writer.
To begin with your major prem
ise, taken from the local paper, is
not correct. The aldermen did not
take any official action in the mat
ter. Therefore your entire argument
Is based on a fallacy.
II you will look over the records
of the action of the board Of alder
men regarding gambling you will
find that the writer is on record as
opposing any attempt to legalize
any type Of gambling in this city
and that he requested that the min
utes show that he would have moth
ing to do with any such ordinance.
And since you so vehemently and
publicly condemn the city council
for it's remissness in the above mat
terS as a citizen and taxpayer,
you might also be subject to a little
SELF condemnation for your own
remissness in not filing complaint
with the county attorney to prose-
cute the case under the state law to
which you refer. After all is said
and done, it is the state law which
is being disregarded and since the
board of aldermen is the legislative
branch of your city government
they have no Jurisdiction or power
which would enable them to demand
that county officials do their sworn
duty.
I particularly resent the infer
ence that I would be party to the
importation of prostitutes for the
purpose of swelling city revenue and
feel that it was, to say the least,
poor taste to openly imply that my
actions in the past would logically
condone and make me a party to
such thing.
Finally YOUR Indictment Shpuld
not be addressed to the board Of al
dermen but to the public at large,
whose apathy and lack of interest
and action in the matter, has per-
mitted the condition to persist and
reach the place which it has. You
know and I know that if suffi-
cient number of local people decided
the conditions were uncomfortable
they could bring sufficient pres
sure to bear in the proper places to
end the whole thing and bring our
community back within the pale OF
the law.
Sincerely yours,

BERLIN, April 24.-More German
books must be sold abroad, the na2is
have decided, so they cut the pric.

man book exports has dropped one
half since 1881.
German books abroad either arc

says, or are written by Jews and

we send out good German volumes.

The fall in the value of book ex-
