The Pleasing End In Sight
When the Limitation or Armament Conference
ossembled, hardly a month ago, tt was predicted Jhat
its sessions would run along- well Into the spring
roonths and great doubt was expressed as to the
mm of Its accomplishments. . Already the ;end of a
more pleasing program than we then dared to visual
ize is In eight and now it is believed that the confer
ence may end with the year.
Secretary Hughes' plan for the limitation' of trm
ament is assured. A treaty for the peaceful settle
ment ot alLauesUons ftrlsjng in the pacific, has been
r.egotiated. and ,.awaitaonlyratif icatlon, , which is
certain. Practically an agreement affecting China
has been reached, the Chinese alone withholding
aaeent to any of the plans which cava been proposed.
But Chinese affairs are in such a chaotic shape that
the powers represented in the conference are helpless
to arrive at any agreement which meets the views of
ail the Chinese, those of the north and those of the
couth. . The Shantung question may be disposed of
to the satisfaction of all China. The Japanese have
shown much more liberality as to that than had
been expected. Other more ancient Japanese rights,
those established Immediately after the Russo
Japanese 'war as well as the rights of Individual ,
Japanese and individuals of other nations are not
so easily adjusted. The entanglement appears to be
so hopeless that the best the conference can do
will be to reach any agreement It can with or without
the assent ot China. ? '. '.-.' '
Wherever It may be done, it is certain that the
work of the conference will be regarded as the long- ;
est forward step" that has been taken in centuries
and it fills us with a Uveller hope than we ever
entertained before of a reign of peace. Beside it, the
negotiations following the world war shrink.
The conference was quietly inspired by President
Harding and was begun without a flourish of trum
pets. The call was received by the nations without
great degree of enthusiasm. The president himself
entertained doubt of the outcome for he warned bis
countrymen against too lively expectations.
But to the conference came, the wisest and best .
of the five nations. They brought with them a sin
cere and unselfish desire for accomplishment. What
ever suspicions they may have brought with them
was dispelled at once by the frankness of .Secretary
Hughes who at once became the outstanding figure
cf the gathering. Every day witnessed progress.
JCever before in so brief a time or-so smoothly was
to much constructive progress made to be recorded
In history, f
Comin' and Goin
We have received a handsomely printed pam
phlet issued by the Anheuser-Busch company. "The
penalty of Lew Obedience, in which the company
company complains that it has become entrapped in ;
that Ingenious device which "catches 'em comin' and
KoinV ' -' A
To be more explicit the company complains that
prohibition rendered useless its plant, in which it
had expended $40,000,000. The company in. order to
turn this property to some use Invested an -additional
$ 18,000,000, and proceeded to manufacture Imitation
beer, a harmless drink. That investment seems to
have been made on the supposition that the govern
ment would compel the people to drink these bever
ages by depriving them of access to more potent
drinks: ; .".'
But its failure to enforce prohibition, its per
mission to every household in the land to set up a
brewery for the manufacture of beer with such a
kick as the breweries of the past had never turned
out. had deprived the soft drinks of a market' so that
the $18,000,000 investment, the tail was going with
the hide.
K is true that there Is not so much near beer
sold as there was 4 per cent. There are two reasons
for that and neither of them is the competition
afforded by home brews. One Is the price of near
beer which is twice as much as the price of real
beer. But the other and more potent reason is one
which is understood by former beer drinkers but
not by others.
One drinks 'water, or soft drinks, only for the
purpose of slaking his thirst. One glass usually is
ufficlent. Very seldom are more than two glasses
drunk Many brands of near-beer are so near as to.
taste that even beer drinkers might not detect any
difference. - u
In the old beer days there were some persons
content with a single glass, or an occasional glass.
If aH patrons had been such occasional drinkers the
brewing Industry would never have assumed vast
proportions. The patrons who made it great were
those who consumed from three to ten glasses at a
litting Groups gathered about the bar and drank
br rounds. The alcohol In the beer called for more
d more until the capacity of the drinker was ex
hausted or until he was drunk or sodden. Those
Z drink near beer drink as the old occasional beer
did They form no habit of drinking and nave
dr re inclination to tax their capacity with pear
llTtW they would with water or coffee.
The pamphlet contains testimonials from nearly
. .tates to show that prohibition enforcement
f hken down. If the testimony from other states
re accurate than that of three Arizona rep-
13 "mcs it is valueless. For instance we note
rcentamc- p,aces fln
that riinet- v & cUak fof the gale of
r.othins more y
inferior quality of wine and whiskey and other bev
erages of alcoholic content too numerous to mention."
Another witness testifies: T personally know of
more bootleggers in (probably Phoenix) than
I ever knew bartenders before prohibition. Practical
ly every pool hall In this territory and many other
places of business are headquarters for bootleggers."
As to the statement of the numerical superiority
f bootleggers over former bartenders, we do not
know, but we will credit the witness with the famil
iarity be professes and will assume that he is cor
rect. In the heyday of the saloon business in Pboe-
nix, Just before prohibition, we had from 75. to 100
bartenders and we have little doubt that every one
of them in his short shift dispensed more liquor than
all the present day bootleggers get rid of in a day
and a night.
Against the statements as to the number of
places where liquor is obtainable, we have the com
plaint of personal acquaintances . who are supposed
to be "in the know." that liquor is pretty hard to
get In this burg and that now and then when a
cache is opened the price s prohibitive. .
If prohibition had done nothing more than to
substitute for beer which may be guzzled indefinitely
a drink equally palatable and invigorating of which
one would consume not more than a glass or two,
that would be much: . And it it had accomplished '
nothing more than to raise the price of whiskey
to figures varying from $10 to $18 a quart, that would
also be something. But it has done much more than
that. It is gradually throwing & net over illicit
transactions in alcoholic liquor. , In time, perhaps
not until the next generation, it will have It com
pletely, trapped. , ; :- "
We Can Spare Than Longer
We have done without that precious pair, Gold
man and Berkman, so long that we can still do with
out them. We have become' inured to their absence
from America and we should insist now upon their
remaining away lest in time it might be found neces
sary for them to leave us again, so that we should
be condemned again to the "sweet sorrow of parting."
' ' Putting it another ' way," we do fiot want them
at all. They are nuisances.' ' They wee never a
menace to this country only plain nuisances and .
nuisances are to be abated. They were abated when
they were deported to their ideal, beloved Russia,
Notwithstanding Miss Goldman's declaration that she
loves America for America is her country, she is a
woman without a country. An anarchist can have
no country, though a native anarchist may have a
legal right to his country and the privilege of occupy
ing Its jails whenhe violates the, laws -which are
abhorrent to him. -
Miss Goldman does not love America. She likes
the freedom she was unwisely permitted to enjoy
here; the adulation of fools and anarchists, the plenty
with which her admirers surrounded her. . She, maybe,
loves the "rocks and rills, the woods and templed
hills," and other physical features of the country, but
she does not love the government which is the coun
try and the people,' -
Sometime some foolish authority may permit the
return of Goldman and Berkman under some impulse
of amnesty and on a theory that they are harmless.
And they are harmless and always would be, but
their deportation should be made permanent as an
object lesson to other foreigners who come here to
make nulsancs of themselves. . ,
RIPLEY ATTENDS THE CONFERENCE
Every once la a while a professor of Chicago
university, comes "out with a startling statement
which gives the country a thrill for an instant and
then it is followed by ridicule. Professor Starr tells
us that it is impossible for a blonde to be beautiful.
If Dr. Starr had known as "much about drug stores
as he knows about anthropology he would never have
made such a pronouncement.
- There are two eras in the life of the successful
business' man as explained by Theodore N. Vail, the
bead of the telephone industry, who accounted for'
his success "by never being unwilling when young
to do another man's work and then, when older, by
never doing anything somebody else could do better
for me . . . -
If there is any more room for legends on the
sides of the cars of the Shoenix Street Railway
company we would suggest the following: "Mr.
Bandit, please do not rob our motormeh and con
ductors. Those nickels belong to us." . . .- .
It is true that Gardner never killed anybody, but
"that Is no reason why he should be canonized. We '
never killed anybody either, and nobody has been (
filling our cell with flowers.
One who believes in a literal hell "saya' that some
day the profiteers will get what Is coming to them.
And then, will we get back from"thein what "was
coming to us but what they took?
The ease and frequency with which prisoners are
escaping; from jails suggest 'a. need of prison reform,
other than that with which humanitarians are busy
ing themselves. i - , ' '
It is needless to remind the youngsters that it
is twelve days to Christmas, 4 mighty long time. But
to their elders who have not done their Christmas
buying, the days are flying. " - :
LONGINGS
(By Goldie Weisberg)
The long roads lead to the north and "the south"
And wind to the east and the west.
.. And the rivers hurry and pass me by,
- Nor stop for a moment's rest. - - - .
Oh, the winding roads, they call to me
And lure me on and- away - ; - r. ; J
To the far-flung spaces of many lands" " " " "
And I yearn the live-long day.
I yearn to climb the rugged hills '
Or dream "neath sun-drenched skies.
Or hie me north or hie me south
" As any swallow flies. -
Oh, I would strike the gypsy trail
With my fancy for my guide.
I'd drift among the low-flung clouds
Or sail the ocean wide.
The days grow short and the years grow swift
And the wide roads call me still.
But I cannot follow them as they go
Through valley and over hill
So, I do my task as the days go by.
In my house like a sparrow's nest
While the roads wind on to the north and south
And off to the east and west.

REAL ESTATE
TO ADVERTISE FINE
CLIMATE OF VALLEY
A comprehensive plan for advertis
ing the Salt River valley is the ex
pected result ot a meeting held last
evening at the chamber of commerce
by the Salt River Valley Realtors as
sociation, when, at the suggestion of
Hal Prince, of the firm of'H. S.
Prince and company, it was resolved
that steps should be taken imme
diately to place the advantages of
Salt River valley climate definitely
before the people of the United
States.
The meeting, which was attended
by practically all the members of the
association, accepted Mr. Prince's
suggestion that stress should be laid
upon the exceptional climatic condi
tions of this part of the state and
that the California idea of attract
ing worth-while residents should be
adopted. The campaign will be start
ed Immediately by placing on en
velopes a distinctive advertising de
sign and wording1 In which the ad
vantages of the Salt River valley and
Its climate will be set forth, . and
which will be distributed not only to
all the real estate men of the city but
to all the business houses and indi
viduals who desire to co-operate In
the work.
The envelope design will be ob
tained through a contest which is to
be started as soon as its details can
be worked out. It is expected that
this announcement will be made
within a day or two. Suitable prizes
are to be offered, and the contest is
to be under the direction of compe
tent judges. The contest will be fol
lowed by the initiation of other parts
of the advertising plan, which, it
has been determined, is to be worked
out In as comprehensive and prac
tical a manner as possible.
TWO MASKED MEN
HOLD BEST HANDS
IN GAME OF POKED
When two (masked men armed with
revolvers walked in on a friendly
game of poker in a room in the
Huckleberry Inn, 219 East Jefferson
street early Sunday morning, Dec 4,
they held the winning hands and as
a result collected a pool amounting
to $725. This was the testimony of
Nick Papas at the preliminary hear
ing yesterday afternoon iri Justice
Henry J. Sullivan's court of Lee Rob
inson and Ed Wright, whom Papas
has charged in complaint as being
the two alleged hold-up men. Both
are charged with robbery.
Papas declared he was positive
Wright was one of the hold-up men
because his mask slipped from bis
face shortly after he entered the
room. Six or seven were playing in
the game. Papas said. Including a
former deputy sheriff, John Sproul of
Litchfield. All the players, he said,
were lined up against the wall and
their money taken from them. The
hold-up men. Papas said, took a re
volver from Sproul but left it out
side of the door when they left where
Sproul recovered it. Papas denied
he was running the game, but said he
had possession of the money as bank
er for the game and had given the
others chips for it.
Others who testified were Fred
Drake, and John Dagies. Each of
them said they were sure Wright was
the shorter of the two hold-up men
because they also saw his face when
his mask slipped down. Louis Nijif
fores said he was not playing, but
was present at the hold-up. The
hearing will be continued this morn
ing. Robinson and Wright were ar
rested Saturday, but were released on
bond. As a result of the alleged
hold-up, Sproul was arrested last
night on a bench warrant from the
superior court charging him with
participating in a gambling game.
His commission as deputy sheriff
was taken from him recently by
Sheriff John Montgomery.

Associated Charities of Tempe
Close Year of Successful Work
Although no effort has been made
during the past year to advertise the
activities of the Tempe Associated
Charities, a great deal of useful work
has been accomplished in extending
a helping hand to those wto have
been hard hit by the general depres
sion. After the annual meeting In
November. 1820, additional funds
were raised by single brief can
vass among the citizens. Voluntary
contributions were added from time
to time by Individuals and by various
Church societies and fraternal organ
izations. Among the contributions
were substantial donations from sev
eral social organizations maintained
by residents of Kyrene who have
taken- a special pride in supporting
the organization and Its work. The
Play "Star Bright.- given In the nor
mal auditorium by members of the
association, netted a neat sum. The
sale of Christmas seals, which was
handled by a special committee of
the association, rendered a double
service In increasing the charities
fund and, at the same time, -promoting
the general -work of the Anti
Tuberculosis association.
The funds thus acquired we're ex
pended by the executive committee
upon the advice of the investigating
committee, whose business it is to
Inquire carefully Into the merits of
each case of need brought to their
attention. Aid was dispensed chiefly
in the form of groceries and fuel, and,
in some cases, also clothing and bed
ding. ' A checking system was de
vised and used by means of which it
was possible to make a more Judi
cious distribution of relief. Under
this system aid was given to approx
imately 200 persons, and as these
were in most instances heads of fam
ilies, it la estimated that the total
number of persons participating in
the benefits of the association was
between 500 and 600.
During the month of April the town
was threatened with a riot, when a
camp of alien cotton pickers was
stranded here practically penniless
and without food. The Associated
Charities took the situation In hand
and weathered the crisis by giving
these people temporary relief and by
setting in motion the necessary ma
chinery to secure for them rations
and transportation to their homes.
A number of needy cases was
found to be proper county charges
and were brought to the attention
of the proper authorities, who were
found ready and willing to co-operate
with the committee of the Asso
ciated Charities.
During the spring an arrangement
was made with the town authorities
whereby work was given to unem
ployed persons, payment being made
by the association in the form of gro
ceries or orders for groceries, meat
and fuel. As the workers were em
ployed in cleaning streets, parkings,
alleys and vacant lots, the associa
tion practically donated to the town
of Tempe over BOO days' work, and
many have remarked that the town
never presented a neater appearance
nor a more thoroughly sanitary con-

ditlon than it did under this arrange
ment. Employment also was found
for needy persons on neighboring
ranches, and it was the. constant aim
and effort of the committee to dis
tribute the benefits of the associa
tion among the largest possible sum
ber of persons.
By requesting the citizens to report
to the committee all cases of need
instead of giving aid privately, the
annoyance or house-u-house beg
ging was reduced to a minimum.
Many stranded parties were assisted
on their way and enabled to reach
home and friends. Many sick were
cared for. In which work the asso
ciation has had the active co-operation
of the local doctors.
. When one considers that the total
available fond of the association for
the year amounted 'to less than 75
cents per capita of the population.
it is truly astonishing that the com
mittee should have been able to tide
over the most strenuous season of
need and unemployment that Tempe
has iver experienced without calling
upon the people for further subscrip
tions. Probably no form of local
community activity has ever brought
so- many Tempe citizens into active
co-operation, and it is to be hoped
that everybody will continue to sup
port an association which has so well
proved its value to the town. The
investigating committee Is deserving
of .the thanks of the community for
the many hours they have taken away
from business entirely without com
pensation in the daily work connected
with the practical activities of the
association. While the practical
work can be carried on by a com
mittee with the greatest efficiency,
yet the citizens as a whole should
have a voice in determining the poli
cies of the association and the op
portunity for this expression is given
in the annual meeting which Is to be
held on Wednesday at 8 p. m. in Odd
Fellows' hall, corner Sixth street and
Mill avenue. At this meeting a full
report of the work of the past year
will be given, and new officers will
be elected and plans laid for the
work of the coming year, livery man
and woman of Tempe and vicinity
should consider it a duty to attend
this meeting and assist in shaping
the program for continuing this laud
able activity and Increasing Its effi
ciency. A condensed financial statement is
appended, which will give an idea of
the extent of the year's work:
