REPEAL ABSENT VOTERS LAW
A bill should be introduced in the state legisia* ;
ture abolishing the absentee voters’ law. j
The absent voter law is a fraud and a sham. We j
do not mean to impugn the motives of those who in- j
spired and who were responsible for the law. There j
are as we know voters who are unable to reach the j
polls on election day. It seemed a hardship, that they j
should lose their vote through no fault of their own. j
It was the desire to make provision in such cases of
illness that led many to favor the law that should now
be repealed.
Actual experience has shown the law to be a fail
ure, and even worse, for it has shown to be a fraud.
Evils have been everywhere. They have grown \
worse. We know that in elections in this county j
there have at times been many absent votes cast, j
Candidates and their friends have workd it over
time. We have actually seen “absent voters,” or
. rather so called, on the streets in a city in this state
on election day.
They were voting by the absent route, but were
pot ill, nor away from the city. They were running
around town, wondering what it was all about Half
of th§m if they were asked whether they had voted
of them if they were asked whether hey hud voted
Afl a matter of fact the absent ballot law has been
used by party machines to get out a vote, and in some
precincts in the state it is said that absent ballots
have been known to almost exceed the number of bal
lots voted personally. There was no chance for the
election officers to identify the absent voters and no
chance for challenge.
From every section of the state have come com
plaints growing out of the the evils resulting from his
law. And so notwithstanding the fact that the repeal
of the law may inconvenience a few people, the truth
still remains that its existance presents great chance
for ballot evils. Party organizations have carried
around absent applications as if they were handbills
of a circus or a side show. No one party has been
too blame. All parties, and over most of the state
the condition has existed.
We presume that if the law should be repealed it
would make provision for persons who are in the
govemmen service, and cannot* come home. But
whether such provision is made or not, and even if
some worthy citizens are deprived of their vote, be
cause of being on the road, or from illness, we do not
believe there is one of them but who would make
such sacrifice in order to cleanse the ballot, and re
move the chance for deliberate fraud. Th absent
voter ballot has probably elected a good many can
didates who had no other qualification than that of
currying application blanks around in their pockets
and voting people who otherwise would be indiffer
ent to the ballot. The greater majority of absent
ballots are cast, not by but “for” men and women
who are so little interested thel should not be per
mitted to vote.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Foreign affairs continue to play the most talked
about part on the Congressional stage, while the
President and Secretary Kellog continue to handle
; them in their own way. Tey seek no advise or
help from Congress and insist upon being given a
free hand to act and talk as they choose no matter
what Congress or the country might think and re
gardless of the serious complications which might
result.
One of the most glaring attempts of Administra
tion followers to bulldoze Congress into silent, un
advised acquiescence was the passage by the House

The Lesson
Foreign Affairs Committe of a resolution endorsing
the President’s Nicaraguan policy without knowing
just what his policy was. This action was taken
J . er the solid opposition, of Democratic members ot
lie Committee, who aired reasons in speeches on the
Floor of the House of Representatives.
The attitude of the Democrats was best summed
up, perhaps, by Representative Tom Connally of
Texas, a member of the Committee. He said:
“According to the construction which I place up
on this resolution, if any foreign power in Central
or South America should sell arms to revolutionists
or permit arms to be furnished to revolutionists, this
resolution'declares it to be the duty of this Govern
ment to take up arms and repel that aggression and
maintain! the Diaz regime and, in effect, suppress the
revolution.
“All Members know,” Mr. Connally argued,
“that in case of a revolution in any country under in
ternational law any government has a light to sell
arms ard ammunition to either one of the belliger
ents. That is a right for which this country contend
ed in the World War long before we entered that ter
irible tragedy. We maintenained the proposition that
neutrals had a right to sell arms and ammunition to
either of the belligerents. To deny such a proposi
tion would be to deny the right of any people by re
volution to overthrow their Government, which is a
light that is recognized and known all over the
World under every civilized system.”
The Texas Congressman held, however, that this
was not the most serious aspect of the situation.
This, he contended, was the fact that the resolution
was acted upon by the committee without any of
ficial information and that the committe refused to
call Secretary of State Kellogg before it.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee after
hearing Secretary Kellogg refused to act. Yet, in
face of this, as Mr. Connally put it, “the House Com
mittee, confirmed in its ignorance, refused to hear
any proof of any facts whatever from the State De
partment”. Only one Republican Member of the
Committee voted for the resolution requesting Sec
retary Kellogg to furnish the information desired by
the Democrats.
The resolution of blanket endorsement, finally
passed by the Committee on a strictly partisan vote,
has not been brought before the House for a vote.
Indeed, there are many who believe it never will be,
since there is a strong possibility that it would be
voted down.
Representative William A. Oldfield of Arkansas
Democratic Whip o fthe House of Representatives,
has been unanimously reelected Chairman of the
Democratic Whip, of the House of Representatives,
other officers of the Committee also were chosen!
Chairman Oldfield was praised by members of the
Committee for the success he has achieved while
Chaii man and was authorized to carry forward a
vigorous educational campaign from now on through
the elections in 1928.
SUPPORT ELK MUSICALS
A city’s reputation is made in many ways. Often
development and growth are entirely measured in
terms of dollars and cents, but this is a mistake. <v
There are other elements, other qualities essen
ual to community progress. The culture, education
and talent of the people deserve a high place. Music
plays no small part. Nogales has always maintain
ed a high place in musical circles. Few cities in the
state have more, or better musicians. But artists
ai e human, and like the rest of us grow’ discouraged
it one failure after another follows their efforts. The
people of Nogales who are now so loyally and so ef
cy may help greatly by giving encoragement to
ty may help reatly by giving encouragement to
musical events such as the Elks are giving us this
./inter. No finer tribute can be paid to any comuni
ty may help greatly by giving encouragement to
tui’al life of its people.
We have not always warmly received the privi
leges offered us in the way of music. We can contri
bute much to our own happiness, and development,
Lnd to the community’s standing by uniting with the
musical people in giving Nogales a high place in the
musical world.

THE LIAR, MAN
“Women/* said the confirmed
bachelor, “are not trustworthy. I
can’t believe what they say and
f can’t look ’em in the eye, the
way i can a man, and tell what
their intentions may be.” How sil
1} ! The reason why men are so
eternally suspicious of a woman’s
sincerity is that they are purpose
fully deceptive in most 01 then
dealings with men and they, quite
naturally, are on the alert against
s ; milar double-dealing. Men aren t
quite so naive and ingenuous as
they imagine themselves to be. A
man has a rare skill, a true talent,
for building up an idea of himselt
in h's mind, and the image be
comes clearer and clearer as time
goes on; and presently he honetf
lv believes he is what he pretends
to be to the women with whom he
comes in contact. Men ne to
women with outrageous ease; and
one can scarcely blame them or
bold in contempt for it, be
cause ly'ng becomes habitual, un
conscious. Men always promise
women more than they can ever
fulfill. Men always assert that
they are possessed, of gauds and
baubles which they know mighty
well they will never possess. On
the other hand, women are less
j prone to promise; less ready to
j yield, less eager to hold out a
glittering toy that the love-selfish
man may grasp and possess for his
own satisfaction. Men in love
i are often adorable by the sheer
j ardor of their devotion; but their
lies are a bore to bear.
Thirty cars of ice are coming in
from Tucson daily to meet the
demands of icing the refrigerat
or cars containing vegetables

from the west coast.

UNROMANTIC
I hear the ocean surges calling,
calling, calling to me,
Calling, Calling, calling me to
come away.
Oh, I hear the ocean surges with
the'r calls and with their urges,
Calling me to the spice-groves
of fa r Gathay.
And 1 hear the taut-drawn cord
dage singing, singing m the
breezes,
And I see globe trotting flap
pers on white decks;
And the flappers, and the breezes
blowing skirts about their
kneeses,
Call to me to dare the simoons
and the wrecks.
- but they’ll never Ret me going—
going, going, going, going,
going
Where the white spume of the
sea is in the air;
They will never get me going
where the sea-born breeze
is blowing;
1 get seasick rocking in a rock
ing-chair.
Po I turn my back forever on the
motions of the oceans,
Turn my back on romance,
j flappers and Cathay;
For a rocking-chair makes me sick
and a' sea-view makes me
sea-sick.
And meals cost too doggone much
to throw away.

PHILOSOGRIN
When the phone wakes us in the
night and we arise in nighty
white, and in the all enshrouding
gloom kick rocking chairs across
the room, we know the things
we’d like to say if our folks has
raised us that way.
