Major SylVesfzz Does
Not Fea1 Mother Jones
VSH of Coreps Army Prepared Local Police for All PHI
grlmages of The Genus "Csank. "

Major Sylvester is not alarmed by the
published announcement OF Mother
Jones that. failing satisfactory an
swer 20 her letter to President Roose-
welt. she will descend on Washington
at the opening Of the next Congress with
an arm; of mill slaves" Says Mother
Jones:
Should l get no satisfaction from
President Roosevelt. / will go down to
Washingt on when Congress couvenes
With an army OF poor little white mill
slaves and hold a congress of my own.
81 have not as yet received an an
swer to the letter l sent to the Presf-
dent. If do not hear from him / shall
let him drop out of the question alto
gether. / do not believe IN licking the
feet OF the President and begging for
any favors.
1T is a very sad commentary on the
President of our nation that the plea of
suffering little children who walked 100
miles for the express purpose OF seeing
him should be turned down. / shall now
turn to Congress and demand help and
consideration for the poor child slaves"
Major Sylvester assumes no attitude
of criticism toward Mother Jones or
the cause she represents. His relation
TO The matter Is wholly impersonal To
him such an advent means something
entirely different from the motive Of the
incursion. II means the presence of a
crowd OF followers and hangers-on OF

There was a time when suclha threat

fore the days of Coxey's army. That
demonstration threatened all kinds Of
possibilities. The motley throng was
met outside the town. however. their
purposes fRthomed, their movements
controlled, and on the walls of room
at Police Headquarters hang the STAFF

In all the army.

 Mark Smith returns to his law prac- tice in Arizona, where he is welcomed by a greatful constituency. among whom his popularity is greater than ever before. May he live long to en- joy the confidence and respect of a justiceloving people and long enough Ito be rewarded for his faithful stew ardship in the past. by an election as one of the first senators from the new state of Arizona, thus giving him the opportunity of facing such men as Bev. eridge, and his clique of territorial ha' .ters, on equal ground.

SAN CARLOS DAM
 SHOULD BE FIRST.

The San Carlos people can't make anything by fighting the Tonto Basin reservoir. If the secretary of the in terior wishes to build the San Carlos dam he will order it's construction re gardless of any action that he may take in regard to the Tonto Basin, There is no conflict between the two reservoirs and our Pinal county friends are fighting a straw man Phoenix Enterprise.
 The San Carlos water people are perfectly justified in pushing their just claims to have the government spend the first public money for storing va ter for irrigation in Arizona on the San Carlos dam. There is urgent ne cessity for the building the San Car. los dam at the earliest possible mo ment, because of the relief it will bring reservation. When the first white men arrived in Arizona they found these Indians prosperous and peaceful raising splendid crops because they had abundant of water for irrigation taken from the Gila river; this water has been taken by the white man little by little, until now the Indians have none, and because of the loss of the water have beope paupers, depending on -he charity of the government for subsistence. It is a moral obligation due these industrious Indians that they be restored to their old time pros perity by the building of the San Car. los dam at the earliest possible mo ment The Tonto Basin reservoir is a feasible one and we expect 10 see it successfully constructed and the Salt river valley bloom with new life as a result, but it is right and just that the San Carlos dam should come first
