London is gasping at the number of domestic scandals that are being aired
in the divorce courts by the nobility. Lady Clifton, at the left, is one of the
handsomest of British beauties to seek separation from a soldier of the great
war. Lord Clifton, 32 years old, 'was a major in the royal artillery. Lady
Clifton was active in the trenches distributing smokes and delicacies to the
American soldiers. The duchess of "Westminster, at the right, daughter of Mrs.
CornwaUis-West, has just been granted a decree from the duke, who served in

. "The big hotel will be built, despite
any and all obstructions and obstruc
Uonists." ' " .
Such was the unequivical statement
issued yesterday by Jordan and Grace,
who have made all the arrangements
for the financing and building of a
million dollar hotel on the east half of
old central school block, when asked
what effect the suit instituted yester
day in the name of J. T. Murphy, to
reslrain the transfer of the property.
"There is no object in such tactics."
paid S. E. Jordan, "except to delay the
building of this much needed improve
ment. They are simply trying to hold
up the project, for personal reasons,
no doubt.
"While we know who is back of this
suit to obstruct the erection of the big
hotel, we would like to see them come
out in the open and let the public know
who they are and state their reasons
for this action. In the long run it will
make no difference to us, but the pub
lic is entitled to know who they are
and why.
Indignant at Move
"There is much popular indignation
at this attempt to throttle this much
needed improvement," Mr. Jordan con
tinued. "The local people who pledged
the $100,000 have, most of them, been
in to see us today and told us without
reservation that they will stand by us
and the eastern people who are putting
up fully a million additional of outside
capital can be depended on to stand pat
till the matter can be threshed out.
"Any delay is to be regretted, how
ever. We are ready to begin tearing
out the old building, the contractors
have notified us that they would begin
assembling materials August 15, and
break ground not later than September
1 for the building of the hotel.
"Upon the starting of the hotel de
pends at least another half million dol
lars' worth of building in the same
neighborhood, which may also be de
layed. But the delay will hurt the city
as much as it does us. and all we can
say is that we are sorry that certain
interests have seen fit to do this thing.
Public for Hotel
The effort to block this project will
fail, there is no question about that.
Public sentiment is with us. and what
the public favprs always comes to pass
sooner or later. Whoever is fighting
this proposition should come out ana
let the people know their obiects-
"This firm always has gone to bat
.o help out any big improvement nroi-
ect in Phoenix, no matter where it is
located nor who is behind it. our onlv
question is whether it is good for Phoe
nix. This hotel will no sooner be fin
ished than there will be need for an
other one as big, for this city is grow
ing, in spite of some people who live
here. Thousands of people are being
turned away every season for the lack
of hotel accommodations- Phoenix is
so lacking in room that she cannot say
to the world, 'come down and see me.'

BRITAIN AND BOOZE
(A British Liberal in the Atlantic
Monthly)
The prospects of drastic liquor
legislation, or prohibition, in Great
Britain, are not encouraging. A small
section favors prohibition, but arouses
very little enthusiasm. The various
reform societies are neither well or
ganized nor united. State purchase,
which would have been possible early
in the war, is now considered beyond
the range of practical politics. Pro
hibitionists would not have the state
touch the trade except to kin it. Com
plete suppression without a penny 01
compensation is their policy.
Other temperance reformers were
reconciled to purchase, if accompanied
by a referendum enabling the people to
say just how many, if any, saloons
should Vemain open in their districts.
-Many of these reformers now fear
that state ownership might have the
effect of perpetuating the trade in
stead of gradually extinguishing it, for
the reason that this excursion into
state socialism would be alluringly
profitable. They fear that the people
would not vote for doing away with
their own property, because it woulil
be a fruitful source of revenue at a
time when everything taxable is being
squeezed to the uttermost. They are
entirely opposed, on economic grounds,
to the state's paying hundreds of mil
lions for an industry and then pro
ceeding to kill it off by degrees, losin;-':
the capital which it cost and the rev
enue which it brings. The average
Englishman does not consider such a
shortsighted policy either common
sense or good business, and he is
against it.
"When we remember the recuperatior.
of the drink trade (after the war), its
strength in elections, and the half
heartedness of the reform movement,
there is little chance of Britain becom
ing dry in a hundred years. 1 the
labor party were to adopt state pur
chase, coupled with a democratic refer
endum, which would settle by popular
vote how many, if any, saloons were
to remain in a particular locality, then
there would be a steady reduction in
the number. Much will depend on '.he
women voters. If there were a cloan
cut issue on drink, the vast majority
of them would vote for reduction, it
not for total prohibition.
There is not the slightest prospect
of a reform movement in Ireland,
where there are more saloons to the
population than in any country in the
world. . :
But there is a chance in Scotland.
The Scottish Temperance Act hands
over the future of the liquor traffic
to the people. It comes into operation
in 1920, and under popular referendum
allows the people' to vote for the re
duction of saloons in municipal areas
according to the size of the majority
in favor of enforcing the act. If the
majority is as much as two-thirds, the
vote carries total prohibition.
There will be a national campaign in
1320, which may lead to striking re
sults. It would be a curious anomaly
if this great whisky producing coun
try should be, in part if not entirely
prohibitionist. The commercial in
stincts of the Scot might be equal to
such a revolutionary results, and mipht
continue to make and export for oth
ers the spirit which they could nc
longer consume at home.

DEEPLY INTERESTED
"One of them there airplanes cu'
capers over my place tuther day," re
lated Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge
Ark. "It circled and flapped and cork
screwed and squirmed around in the
air to beat kingdom. You never seed
anybody as interested as my fourteen
children were. All the time the show
was going on they stood still, rootert
to the spot, as it were, with their
mouths open and their cars throwed
forard. plumb forgetting to scratch
their chiggers. And it was fully half
an hour after the flying machine had
slashed on out of sight before they
really came to life and began to rlmv
theirselves again with anything like
their usual ferocity."

A number of autoists traveling through Phoenix to Pres
cott for the Frontier Days celebration report-the road in fair
condition, although rough.
Motorists from California state that the road via Parker
is rough and full of ruts. Most of the traveling to and from the'
coast is being done at night because of the heat and the en
forced slow rate of travel.
The route via Ehrenberg, Blythe and Mecca to Riverside is
now available as the Ehrenberg ferry across the Colorado is
again in operation. This route is reported 125 miles shorter
than by way of Parker, and although sandy in spots, is consid
ered in as good condition as the longer way. .
