A thrifty man is. one who spends
less than he earns.
Julius Roseifwald.
Thomas Jefferson
There is one time in the year when deniocraLs
of all factions are brought into accord. There is
one thing iion which all of them can agree am!
that is that Thomas Jelfcrsoli was the founder of
ilieii parly and was a model for all good democrats.
Hut there is one thing concerning which democrats
cannot agree and that is the interpretation of the
teachings of Jefferson. The most conservative ad
veil as the most radical of democrats pretend to
square their conduct with Jcffersonian principles.
JJoth cannot he. right and probably neither conser
vative nor radical is right.
h is foolish as well as idle to iii'tuire what some
great statesman would have said or done if he had
lived in a later generation. It is ridiculous to claim
that any political party of today is the political
party of fifty or a hundred years ago. A political
party may now maintain some policy that was ad
voiated by the leaders of a party of the same name
a half century ago, when a reason for such a policy
existed though no reason for such a policy may now
exist. Such modern party policies art mere fetiches
lor Inkling the members of the party together.
Whether Jefferson, if living now, would be a
democrat we do not know any more than we know
whether President Wilson if living at the time ol
Jefferson would liave subscribed to his doctrines or
vhether Lincoln, if living now, would be a re
publican. ,
AVe make these observations this morning
rather than yesterday morning previous to the
celebration by our democratic friends of Jefferson
day, and the Jefferson banquet last night, for we
do not wish to be considered ill the role of a spoil
eport or a death's head at a feast.
Now, on the morning after, while repentant,
chastened and suffering the- pangs of indigestion,
we believe our democratic brethren are more open
to sound reasoning and more capable of mature
reflection.
Chicago Women
The wonn n of Illinois have not the unrestricted
privilege of the ballot that the -women of Arizona
tujoy, yet they appear to make a more general us-j
t'f such privileges as have been given them. At the
late municipal election in Chicago S6 per cent of the
total registered vote of women was cast and
Thompson the candidate for mayor who stood for
good government was elected by a majority little
short of lVi.otiO.
Eighty-six per cent of any registered vote is an
unusually heavy one indicating an intense interest in
the issues that have been presented for settlement.
AVe believe it is a record vote. It is, at least, a
larger percentage than .was ever cast by the voters
of this state and was considerably larger than the
percentage of the registered male vote in Chicago.
In Phoriix, on tho same day the Chicago elec
tion was held, when a'really more vital matter wa:i
pending here, a proposed radical change in the
form of our government, only a little more than
23 per cent of the registered vote was cast. What,
percentage of the registered vote of the women of
l'lioenix was attracted to the polls we do not know,
but it was certainly much less than the percentage
t.f the total vote.
The Chicago women saved the day there. AVe
believe that if X5 per cent of the women of Phoenix
bad gone to the polls a week ago yesterday the re
sult would have been iUite different as to the pro
position to change the charier.
Let St. Louis Be Heard
The Chicago I tecord-Herald is conducting a
symposium on the subject of flilly Sunday1. Sunday
is contemplating a visit to that city but he is not
mire that the demand for his presence is sufficiently
insistent. He wants to be sure that his welcome
will be as feverish as his language. The Hecord
llerald has thrown open a department for an ex
pression of the views of its readers which vary,
vidoiy from a demand for the coming- of the evan
gelist and a vigorous opposition to his coming.
Sprinkled among the views are those of a class of
citizens who are wholly indifferent but take occasion
to ask why the Kecord-Herald is wasting so much
space.
One correspondent strikes a sensible note when
lie inquires vhy those who do not approve of Sun
day take the trouble actively to oppose him. They
need not attend his meetings or contribute to his
cause. Chicago is a large city, abounding in means
and places of amusement and lacilities for spending
money. '
Another correspondent suggests that Mr. Sun
day has erred in trying to ascertain whether Chit-age
wants him. The voice which should direct him.
"Preach the gocpel to Chicago sinners" should come
from some other source than Chicago. If the apos
tles had waited for calls from the cities and locali
ties they visited the gospel would not have been
carried very far. Evangelists of old entered com
munities where they encountered coldness, un
friendliness and even martyrdom. It our mission
aries, and Mr. Sunday is a missionary, awj.lted a
call from "the heathen in his blindness" there would
be- no missionaries.
Kather than ask the Ciiicagoans whether they
need him, Mr. Sunday had better ask St. Louis, a
neighbor whether Chicago needs him and we doubt
not that Hue St. Louis call for Mr. Sunday to preach
the gospel to Chicago sinners would be unanimous
loud and not to be mistaken. St. Louis as an im
partial, distinterested observer of Chicago's short
comings, should be considered an authority.
"The Clansman"
Protests arc being lodged against a project by
an eastern tiieater company to film "Tho Clans
man'' under another name, the protest being made
on the ground that the pictures will reawaken the
sectional sentiment that was stirred by Dixon's
novel when it was produced. Some years ago the
presentation of a dramatization of "The Clansman"
was forbidden in southern cities and some northern
ones, including New York, probably then, with good
reason. AVe had not then been so far removed from
tiie reconstruction period that southern people could
be reminded with calmness of its events.
But, it would seem now, after the lapse of more
than a generation, when every actor on the stag
at that time has been removed, when there is not
now a living defender of the wrongs then commit
ted, that Americans could view without rancor
a reproduction of scenes that were enacted or might
have been enacted at that lime.
There might be some revival of bitterness even
now but it would be the bitterness of those who
would not have been very loyal to the south or the
north in the reconstruction days the hangers-on
of the north and the south the camp followers,
those less animated by patriotism when there was
a call for patriotism. .
We remember, long alter the war the most ir
reconcilable northerners and southerners were those
who skulked when the conflict was on. lleally
brave men who fought in the blue or the gray were
the first to welcome peace. They were ihose who
"bound up the nation's wounds." It was "patriots"
of another stripe that kept thern fresh and bleeding.
RESERVOIR IS FULL
(Written for the High Water Celebration at the
Koosevelt Dam, April liith, 131j, by request of Harry
Welch, secretary of the l'lioenix, Arizona, Chamber
of Commerce.)
'Tis a day auspicious, notable and great,
And it is befitting that we celebrate.
Since our Arizona gets her crown on straight.
ltain-god in the mountains seems to have a "pull,"
Water at the spillways foaming white us wool
Everybody happy reservoir is full!
Some piefer their moisture doled from day to day
Just a dubious sprinkle from, the clouds at play;
AVe desire immersion good old Baptist way.
Let the arid acres feel the healing flood,
As an iron tincture cures anaemic blood
Every form of plant life bursting into bud.
Lightning incubator, source of wealth and poivcr
For this sunny valley from this golden hour;
Take it, use it freely grateful for th? dower.
On this consummation every hope was placed
For the transformation of the desert waste
Into homes of culture, opulence and taste.
w-.ior -ji'here we want it. all about us gleams,
Water, when we need it. flows in copious streams.
Every man a Providence to himself, it seems.
AVords are simply idle, song a useless toy
To express the fulness of our oounding joy
As we hail Good Fortune with our 'SHIP AHOY!'

NON-EXPLOSIVE FILM
.AVhat is slatexl to be a completely satisfactory,
tion-inflammablo motion-picture film has recently
been produced by a French company, but on account
of Kuropean conditions it is not available in suffi
ciently large quantities for general uso in this coun
try at present. Its Jiasic composition is acetate of
cellulose, which is not explosive, is difficult to ignite,
and burns only when held in a flame. The
principal constituent of ordinary films is nitrate of
cellulose, which is highly explosive and readily bursts
into flame when subjected to high degrees of heat,

ECONOMIC WASTE
The only rosrt to REAL economy is the road that leads to the Home Town.
This is the FIRST COMMANDMENT in community development. When
we pass np our own community and send an order away from home we
break this commandment by one stroke of the pen. Give your homr dealer
the CHANCE to fill that order. Given the same conditions, HE can beat any
out-of-town house in the country. The Long Distance route is the road to
waste, over-buying and false economy. This cartoon shows vividly the
DISSATISFACTION and ECONOMIC WASTE in long distance buying.
