joker's sense of humor is one
of the mysteries which battle explana-

becoming more and more the arena in
which the practical humorist loves %

there is often more cruelty than humor
in his joking.

drawn on a wagon through the prin-
cipal streets for the entertainment OF
thousands OF spectators, who had been
attracted by the announcement OF

were is not revealed; but II is probable
that his own days of practical Joking

THE Reverend Wardlaw OF Stafford
last week made the statement in the
Bulletin that the county saloon
licenses were not turned into the
school fund In this he is correct.
The saloon license goes into the gen
eral fund, but from there good sized
portion of it finds its way into the
school fund. The reverend gentle
man also stated that no money had
been turned into the school fund from
gambling licenses during the past
year" \ little investigation of the
matter will show that this statement
is not correct. a statement under the
seal of Hon. A rturo NJ. Elias, clerk OF
the board of supervisors, shows that
for last year and 80 far this year the
sum of 81, $40 80 has been collected
from gambling licenses and passed to
the credit of the school fund. The
itemized statement by months is as

development of the country. What
We greatly need is tribunal of some
kind, in which the labOring man has
perfect confidence, where his rights
can be pro tected, and his grievances
adjusted while he is at work. This of
course would do away with the walk
ing delegate whose opposition can be
expected. All classes of labor should
be treated alike. They are the bone
and sinew of this great country.
They have materially assisted in
making it what it is, and its future
depends largely upon their welfare,
and they must be fully protected in
their rights But we don't want an

legal way for the betterment of the
working man, but the first great step
toward his permanent advancement is
to do away with strikes, without de-
priving him of any of his rights
When this has been accomplished
capital and labor will be linked more
closely together, and each will enjoy
greater prosperity.

The Guardian of last week claims
that the ERA was mistaken in stating
that samples of paper were not filed
with the bids of the Bulletin and
Guardian on county printing. The
ERA received its information from one
of the supervisors, and if he was mis-
taken, then this paper owes an apol-
ogy to the other two members of the
court. The ERA has no desire to do
any one an injustice. The Guardian.
however, is mistaken when ii says
that the ERA'S bid was never turned
down when il was the lowest. The
trouble is that the board cannot dis
tinguish the difference between large
and small type in advertising. The
Guardian has always set the county
advertising in coarse type, which
could have been printed i'll smaller
type in about one-quarter the space.
The ERA is aware that il is wasting
its time bidding on county work of any.

CHARLES f. LUMMIS, the brilliant
editor of Out West, the literary maya
zine of the Pacific coast, was recently
interviewed on the statehood question,
by the Enterprise as follows:
Defeating statehood does not elm
mate the question: it only emphasizes
the need of enlightenment.
Questions involving principle are
n public burden until settled, and
they are never settled until they are
settled right.
" statehood is just. 1t is the des-
tiny and right of American commu-
mites
Territorial politics are mean enough
but they would make a white mark
on the politics of some of the eastern
states.
NO nation ever found advantage
for long by being either unjust or
ignorant.
1t is not Arizona and New Mexico
that lose most by being denied, but
the whole country.
For time the people of the terri
tories might suffer for statehood, but
the way 10 learn to walk is to walk.

VIM. TRAYLOR
Shot and Instantly Killed at Car
penter's Store on the Blue.

In a difficulty which most probably
grew out OF the arrest OF VIM. Traylor
and f.. L. Allen, for the killing of a
beef, which it was alleged did not be-
long to them, the former was shot and
killed by Ray Gurley Thursday last at
Carpenters store on the Blue. TraylOr
aud Allen were tried last week before
Justice Boyle for killing a beef As
stated above, but it was shown that the
spot where the animal was killed was
in New Mexico, hence the case against
them in Justice Boyle's court was
dismissed. The defendants claimed
that the animal killed was owned by
Mr.. Allen. The trial OF this case
caused considerable feeling between
MIR. TraylOr and the Gurley boys,
which led to the tragedy which o.
Cured as stated above. As the case is
now before the grand jury the ERA
will not attempt to give the stories on
either side. Following is the report
OF the coroner's jury:
