here's a dead sure shot that they will be less if the republican " ticket is elected"
 This pledge affects three offices that of District Attorney E. M. Doe. Probate Judge A. E. Douglass and County Recorder Harry Hib- ben.
 Of the democrats elected-aside from MT. Conrard-three in number, we know that Mir. Martin made such a pledge. MT. Devine, coun- ty treasurer, also made a pledge. with proviso attached, stating that he would accept a third class salary should all the other officers elected make like pledge and stand by it. It will thus be seen that Mir. Cornish is the only other officer elected who did not make such an agreement. This, of course, considering MT Devine's proviso. excludes him from the charge. if he desires to take advantage of the fact.
 Now, eliminating MT. Conrar.l from the discussion-because of his previous arrangements with the su- pervisors-this leaves six county officers elected at the last election who are drawing frst-class sala- ries. Four were pledged, out-and- out; one had a proviso attached to his pledge, and so far as we can learn. the other made no pledge.
 Thus it will be seen that the ma jority are not keeping faith with the people.
 We believe, with MT. Conrard, that the public is entitled to know the truth in this matter, and we shall endeavor tofurnish it without cause for personal enmity.

in refuting any charges that may be made. The public in certainly entitled to know the truth in this matter, clearly and without evasion or insinuation, and if any of the present county officers are not guilty of the charge which you make, in an indefinite way. they are certainly entitled to being ex- plicitly excepted from your impu- tations and placed right before the public. As far as I personally am concerned, my entire record on this question is open, and you are free to do with it as you may see proper.
 1 assure you that this letter is written in a purely friendly spirit, but, as your editorial contains re- fiection upon myself on account of its indefniteness, as we'll as others who are innocent of the charge which you bring, believe that jus tice to them and to me requires that we be placed in the proper light before your readers.
 appreciate the spirit in which your editorial was written, and while l have no doubt that you would not intentionally do injus- tice to myself or any of the county officers who have not broken their pledges, at the same time injustice has been done-inadvertantly, per haps-and I feel that you would be glad to have the matter called to your attention.
 Very truly yours,

 OFFICE OF THE RECORDER OF Co., COMING COUNTY, Territory of Ari zona-Harry c. Hibben, Recorder
 FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., April IS, 1903 70. A. Neal, Esq, Williams, Ariz Dear Neal: Relative to your editorial on Taxpayers, Read This' As far as I am personally concerned, want to say, first, that l have done more to put Coconino county in the good condition that it is in, than all the other officers and ex-officers together. Second l have turned more money into the county treasurer during my term of office than all the other recorders together, and the expenses of the office paid by the county has been less. For the first quarter of 1903 I turned into the treasurer $2,765.- 15, which is twice as much money as has been turned in in two years by my predecessors. It was my intention to accept the same salary as had always received as clerk of the board and recorder. But be- ing turned down as Lard as one could be by your board of super visors. and my labor bringing into the county almost enough money to pay all the officers a frst-class salary. 1 felt that 1 surely have a right to receive my lawful salary. 1 have made some little money out of abstracts, but I have paid for having them made more than the legal fee allowed by law, and would have lost money if the grant land people had not allowed me extra for the system I got up for them. On "lost" lands alone that I have dug up on the Aztec people 1 have more than paid first-class salary for five or six years for myself 1 have had no deputies at expense of county; 1 have no office hours, but work night and day to keep my work up.
 1 do not write for publication, but l do appreciate your work for me in the past, and write only to have you understand my position If the overtime l put in was con sidered, 1 am receiving less than thirdclass salary. Your friend,

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., April 13, 'O3.
 c. A. Neal, Esq, Editor Williams News-Dear Sir: In your issue of the 11th inst. you have an editorial headed Taxpayers, Read This!" in which occurs the following:
 "Various candidates on the dem- " ocratic ticket pledged themselves, " if elected, to receive Gin justice to " taxpayers) only third-class county salaries"
 Then follows the imputation that, without exception, this pledge has been broken. The vagueness of the word various" in my quotation from your editorial, leaves it open to your reader to impeach, on the charge of being a pledge breaker, whomever of the present demo cratic officers he may choose. It is not my wish to pursue this mat ter, nor have I any desire to pro- mote any contention; and while I feel that you had no intention of casting any reflections upon myself, nevertheless I believe it is due your readers, it is due myself, and it is due all of those who have not broken their pledges, that you either explicitly release from the aspersion those of us who are in nocent of the charge, or publish the names of the offending officers, excluding myself and others who have not broken their pledges, or, if you have evidence that I have broken any pledge, publish the fact without apology. If you make the charge, however, I shall expect you to produce the proper evidence, and l shall expect, too, to be ac- corded the courtesy of your columns

To the first of these letters we have no answer to make. believing that it is sufficiently explanatory in itself.
 The other letter, however, writ, ten by Harrison Conrard, county superintendent of schools, though he neglected to use official station cry or sign his name in that way, we will endeavor to answer.
 MT. Conrard takes exception to our use of language, and especially to the sentence above quoted-"va- rious candidates" etc. At the time the article referred to was written we were under the impression that Mr. Conrard had made an agree ment with the board of supervisors in office last year, and that in the agreement it was stated that he, upon his appointment to office, should only receive remuneration for necessary expense incurred in the performance of his duties as county school superintendent. With that thought in mind, we did not include Mir. Conrard in the "va- rious" list, and, so far as we can learn, he has presented no bill for services this year. The county is to be congratulated, if we are cor rect as to our understanding of his agreement, as good, conscientious services such as he has rendered are very seldom donated Were there more like him there had been no need for our article of last week While we respect MT. Conrard's desire to have his name cleared ol any charge, his ardor in behalf oi the various" officers would ap- pear to have been awakened at an indignation meeting.

Though no special publicity has been made of the fact locally, Gov ernor Brodie is making arrange ments to give a royal welcome to President Roosevelt on the occasion of his visit to Arizona, and to that end has sent invitations to a num- Der of former officers of the Arizona contingent of the Rough Riders and other officials, to join him in the formation of a special private car excursion to the Grand Canyon. Announcement of the acceptance of the invitation by some, has been made through the territorial press elsewhere ard on inquiry here it is learned that the private car is be- ing arranged by Adjutant General Leavell and Major McClintock and that it will be for the accommoda- tion of about twenty of the per sonal friends of the president. The car will probably leave here on the 4th of May and meet the president at Williams. It will be sort of Rough Riders reunion as well as an official welcome to Arizona. In ad- dition the s.
