The Colorado
Inasmuch as the control of the waters of the
Colorado river was the principal if not the only sub
ject befors the Riverside conference of the League
of the Southwest the developments of Friday leave
nothing; to be considered by the conference except the
dispute between California and the other states of
the league as to the manner of voting. But since
' there Is nothing to vote upon, that becomes an im
material matter. .
The Gordian knot which the private power com
panies, and the city of Los Angeles had been pains
takingly and industriously tying was suddenly cut by
Secretary Fall in his announcement that the govern
ment would retain control over the waters of
the river of seven states; that the tentative
contract between officials of the reclamation
service and Los Angeles was "not in force and
never would be in force," and that the rights of the
states would be adjudicated, not by any preponder
ance of votes but by the federal commission of which
Mr. Herbert Hoover will be chairman. In the mean
time no permits will be granted by the government,
tnent. t
That is as much as is now known hut we are
given a promise by Secretary Fall that the policy of
the government will be made known by him at the
forthcoming San Diego conference, when we will
. probably be afforded Information as to the time when
. the machinery of government may be put into opera
tion. -
We do not believe that the delay will be great
. now that the attention of the government has been
invited and has been given. For that the League of
the Southwest must be credited, and in part, the
activity of-private power companies. It has thus been
put up to the government, either to bring about the
control of the river and the turning of its waters to
beneficial uses, or to permit that to be brought about
by some other agency. Secretary Fall has plainly
pronounced In favor of the government as the only
instrumentality to carry on this great work, the
greatest that has ever been undertaken in this con
tinent. There could be no other in which such vast
numbers of citizens would-be so directly concerned
' and none In whose results there would be so many
conflicting Interests to be adjusted for the benefit
of all. '
This great undertaking, reaching as it does into
seven states and covering an area, larger than em
pires, with millions of people affected by its opera
tion should be under the construction and control ex
clusively of the United States with its resources tf
men and moneyj It may be urged that the government
is at present without funds, whereas, there have been
offers of ample funds for the taking up of the work
by private agencies; and by municipalities proposing
to co-operate with the government.. '
The proceedings of the conference at Riverside
have however developed popular or sectional oppoT
sition to both proposals, from which we may easily
forecast the turmoil into which the enterprise would
be thrown if the government should relinquish con
trol either in whole or In part.
. The enormous resources of water and power of
the Colorado constitute the last great heritage " of
the American people. That they be -developed for
and be utilized for the greatest good for the greatest
number is the desire of those men throughout the
nation who are struggling with the country's prob
lems today. Not for the present hour, but for the
days to come must the problem of this great river be
considered and decided.
Undoubtedly the money will be forthcoming for
this great enterprise. We live in a time different
from that when President Roosevelt with his great
vision of .the "West had to impose his will upon a re
luctant congress to pass the reclamation' act. Then,
too, only comparatively small and isolated regions
were to be benefitted. In this case the whole country
west of the Rocky mountains, including much of the
mountain region Itself, is to be the beneficiary.
served. In Phoenix for instance as late as ten years
ago young girls were seldom seen on the street at
night without parent, guardian or trusted friend.
Now on any night they may be seen in pairs, or alone
or standing at late hours in the company of young
men of unknown or doubtful morals.
They are usually ill clad, in the sense that they
are half clad, rouged and otherwise presenting a
tout ensemble that fiftee nyears ago the police re;
garded as evidence that tne girl so arrayed and be
dizened had strayed off .ha reservation and she was
hustled back with a warning.
Mrs, Gene Stratton-Porter, the famous author of
"Freckles" and "The Girl of the Limberlost," has an
article in January JlcCall's dealing with the subject
of the laxity of parental discipline. There is some
thing, says Mrs. Stratton-Porter, much mora needed
and important than the return of financial and indus
trial normalcy.
"It Is very well to fight for the restoration of nor
mal prices and wages. It is infinitely more necessary
that a fight should be begun for a return to normal
home life. If the mature women of the coming year
can do something to save the young girls from be
coming blase society women in their early teens, if
they can interest them in school and college work, in
church work; in benevolences, in nature study, in sane
and reasonable athletics, in interesting and wholesome
amusements, it will be the most beneficial work that
can possibly be performed for our country as a whole.
"What we need most as a nation is perfect physi
cal specimens of girlhood, full breasted, red lipped,
rosy cheeked by the grace of God. On every hand
one sees today underdeveloped, painted, anaemic,
over sophisticated girls, half clothed, dancing risque
dances, and carrying cirgarette cases and evn flasks.
"If the mature women of 1922 can institute a
movement to save and to restore healthful innocent
glrlhodd, they will have done the greatest work that
can be done in America today. s"
"I jean visualize many wonderful, beneficial, and
very necessary things that the women of this land can
do for their country, for their homes, and for them
selves, politically, economically, and socially, during
the coming year. I can see no one thing that any
woman can do that will be df more ultimate benefit
to her country than to work for the restoration ct
home life, for the bearing and the rearing of children
. to sane and useful citizenship."
Nor is this to be the -work of organizations
though organizations of noble women may be help
ful. The work of the restoration of the 'home must
begin in the home. Only fathers and mothers can
safeguard telr young daughters, from the pitfalls
and nets which modern Jazz has spread rll about
them. ,
GET YOUR LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS OFF EARLY
The Restoration of the Home
The fact announced on Friday by Mrs. Barrett,
national president of the Florence Crittenton Home,
' of the present average age of girls admitted td the
homes now, 16 years in comparison with the earlier
average of 28 is startling and confirmatory x of all
the warning which has been given of the effect of
the modern jazz craze upon the young girls of this
country.
The lowering of the average age of admission Is
we believe the direct result of the laxity of disci
pline in American homes.
Inmates of Florence Crittenton and other rescue
homes formerly were for the most part broken-down
women or girls aged before their time, by their man
ner of living. There was, too, among them a prepon
derating number of low mentality.
The younger girls were generally kept for a time
out of the paths which lead to rescue homes, the
brothel or the grave of the suicide. There was a girl's
greatest danger when she reached the age of twenty,
for though at age of eighteen, girls did not often
avail themselves of the freedom which the law gave
them but remained under parental restraint or lath
er parental protection until marriage or until they
left home to seek employment.
It is hard to fix the beginning of the jazz craze or
to follow the course of it over the country. It seems
to have had its origin in New York a dozen years
ago when the new dances starting whence nobody
knew, were adopted by society which also adopted
into Us slightly less exclusive circles professional
dancers of unknown or disregarded antecedents,
some of them having come up rather recently from
the slums.
In every community in the land the change is ob-
Admlrals m
We see by the dispatches that the daughter of
Admiral Horthy has been engaged to a Lieutenant
Fay. We had intended to speak of, this before not .
of the engagement, for we are not concerned With
social events, but of Admiral Horthy, who is now and
has been since Bela Kun was overthrown, the chief
man of Hungary and we intended to inquire of what
he was admiral. -
We are accustomed to associate admirals with
navies, and navies with the sea. Hungary is With
out a navy and is likely to be so deprived for some
time. It is situated like Sancho Panza's isle, many
miles inland, it is impartially distant almost equi
distant, from the Black, the Baltic and the Adriatic '
seas.
Admiral Horthy may have had some connection .
, with the sea when Hungary was a part of the dual
monarchy and had access to the Adriatic, but that
maritime relation was not necessary to his assump
tion of the title or the Investment of him with it.
There have been admirals without navies as well as
navies without admirals.
The word in the first place had no relation to
the naval service. It was derived from an Arabic
word meaning "lord" or chief.
Thus even the Swiss, if Switzerland were not a
republic, might have an admiral if it wanted one,
much more substantial than the navy which Josephus
Daniels either ignorantly or with national politeness
once invited to participate in a great naval review
off our Atlantic coast.
For a Better Government
The Republican has received from many of its
readers and friends, Arizona members of the National
Economic League, the result of a compilation of re
turns from a questionnaire sent out by the league to
ascertain tho views of representative business and
professional men in every state, as to needed changes
in the rules of congress so that there may be re
sponsible and visible executive leadership to secure
a more efficient federal administration. There were
included propositions for an executive budget; a
proposition to give the cabinet the privilege of the
Goor to defend it and to participate in questions re
lating to finance and administrations.
There were eight of these propositions relating to
various phases of legislation concerning finance and
administration. The eighth suggested a referendum
in case of a dispute' between president and congress.
More than 1000 replies were received. Ail the
proposed changes were endorsed and all of them ex
cept the eighth most overwhelmingly endorsed by
percentages ranging to 96 for visible and responsible
leadership and 95 for the executive budget.

Shorthand
Trainind
in order to enter the advanced
shorthand class, the student must
have had the equivalent of one year
of beginning shorthand.
At the beginning of the year the
students are required to review the
textbook. Following this, they are
put to taking dictation, both of prac
ticed and new matter.
The requirements for the special
stenographic certificate are as follows:-
,
The student must pass the test,
writing 100 words a. minute, from
solid matter, letters and court report
ing: Write 50 words a minute on the
typewriter.
Transcribe at the rate of 25 words
a minute, and have, at least, one
semester in office training.
In the office training course, the
student learns the use of different
office appliances. How to file, how
to use the telephone, how to use the
adding machine, cut stencils, make
out bills, payrolls, etc. In fact, in
order to secure one 'of the special
certificates, the student must prove;
herself confident to do the general
routine work in an office, besides be
ing able to take dictation and tran
sciibe her notes at a fair rate of
speed.

ton. Commercial arithmetic is of great
value to us in many ways. We use
it in every day work all the time. If
we are working In a store or any
place where we change money, rapid
calculation is of grea benefit, be
cause we can make change without
any trouble. Wh we go out into
the business world we all know we
deal with figures a great deal, and
we must be accurate1 and also fast.
Besides the speed and accuracy part
nf it, we learn to make small, neat
figures. I can already see the dif
ference in my figures since I have
been taking rapid calculation. It
seemed as it I could not set over
the habit of making large, ugly
figures. Now I can make them
smaller and I hava also learned that
there are many short cuts in aaai

many other things. We have also
learned shorter ways of proving dif

A stenographer is often called upon
to do some figuring . in an office.
Think of the stenographer who is
always making mistakes. This would
delay the business man, for if she
were always making mistakes he
would be afraid to trust her and
would have to look over the accounts
himself before they were given out
for fear of some mistakes. Lucille
Scott.
I think that rapid calculation is a
very great help to any person who
expects to go out in tho business
world to do work in offices that re
quire accuracy in figures. You can
also learn many new ways and short
cuts. Work of this kind is to be done
by the shortest methods possible.
When you take this work do not
work for speed at first, but for neat
ness and accuracy, then as you go
along speed will come gradually.
Ida Mae Brandenburg.
Commercial arithmetic has its con

is probably of greater .use than

ADVANCED TYPING DEPT.
By Gertrude Jay
By Our Friends We Must Ba Known
The above is true in advanced typ
ing. In nearly all subjects a stud
ent may make a grade, drop the sub
ject and go out into the world with
out showing how much or how lit
tle he knows about it. This is not
true of typing for his living may de
pend upon how much he knows and
shows he knows. It is our object,
therefore, to prepare the young peo
ple to do the best work that it is
possible for them to do. Seventy-five
per cent, the passing grade, will not
do in the business world.
The system of awards offered by
the Underwood and the Remington
Typewriter companies assist us
greatly in holding our students up
to a high standard.- They work for
these awards with the greatest en
thusiasm the following summary of.
this year's work will show with what
result.
Remington awards have been re
ceived as follows:
Gold medals for fifty-five or more
net words with not more than five
mistakes in ten minutes:

The Underwood company has a
now system of awards this year. Fo
40 net words they offer a bronze
medal. A bar is added for each ten
words. A bronze medal with one
bar means 40 words, with two bars
it means 50 words and with three
bars it means 60 words.
A silver medal with one bar means
70 words, with two bars iO words,
with three bars 90 words.
A gold medal with one bar means
100 words, with two bars 110, with
three bars 120.
A diamond bar medal with one bar
means 130 words, with two bars 140
words and with three bars 150 words.
We do not expect to win higher
than the silver medals with three
tiars this year, which means 90 words
a minute. The following table will
show that we are on the way up.

A verv impressive ceremony took place in October,
in Westminster Abbey, when General Pershing, the:.v
head of the United States army, laid the Medal of Con
gress upon the grave of the Unknown British boldier
buried there.
This incident needs to be widely noted in the
United States.
There are two forces constantly at work in our
country, as in all countries.
One of these forces.is Dissension. It is the natural
tendency of nations to suspect, distrust, and dislike one -another.
It is the sentiment which is the little seed out
of which war grows. ,
' There are many agencies at work cultivating this
sentiment among us. Most of them do it unconsciously
and from what they consider the best of motives. But
nevertheless they are steadily.injecting poison into the
nation. - ' .
The other force is the spirit of Unity, of Brother
hood. It is the duty of all men who have any sort of
vision and who really desire the welfare of the human
race to promote this spirit as much as possible.
When the war came the allied nations were drawn
together in a very strong and wholesome sentiment of. .
brotherhood. Even' effort should be put forth to keep
alive this sentiment. And the act of General Pershing
is the kind of thing that helps in this direction..
This idea was expressed by King George upon this
occasion in a letter which he wrote to the general. He
expressed his heartfelt good wishes for the International
Conference to be held at Washington, and his hope that
the statesmen who gathered there would bring their la
bors to a satisfactory conclusion. And he added these
words:
"May they do all that practical statemanship can
achieve to perpetuate the comradeship of the war in the
maintenance of peace." $ .
The same sentiment was expressed in a London
newspaper as follows:
"Such an act of knightly homage as General Persh
ing performed at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior in
Westminster Abbey yesterday recalls" the victorious
comradeship in the world peace which is yet to win."
And this ought to be the aim of the populations,
both of Great-Britain-and the United States, to allow no
bitterness to estrange them. For upon the unity of the
two English speaking governments depends the peace of -the
world.
Of course, the English government has made misv J?'
takes, and the American government has doubtless done '
the same. They are both human and it is right to criti
cize them and to correct them. But to allow, the inevit
able errors of government to make enemies of the two
great peoples would be an unspeakable calamity.
Sir L. Worthington-Evans, at the banquet given to
General Pershing, used these eloquent words:
"A great forward step has been taken by the sum
moning of the Washington conference. May the same
spirit of mutual accommodation and fraternal affection
as that with which we stood together in the great war
animate the representatives of our nations to carry out
the high resolve, that our dead shall not have died in
vain."
It is to be hoped that the common sense of the two.
great nations will go forward in this spirit and insist that
Great Britain and the United States shall go forward
hand in hand to fulfil the purposes of destiny.
And it is to be hoped that this will find expression
not only in words but in deeds. General Pershing said
in his speech on the same question :
"I, for one, have arrived at the conclusion that the
time for the exchange of compliments is about over, and
that all that now seems to be necessary is to reach some
sort of understanding that will guide us in the future."
