THE Phoenix Indian school band of twenty-four pieces, which has a reputation all over the southwest as being the best musical organiza- tion in the territories, arrived here Thursday on No. 1 from Winslow. Sometime since the band, under the management of B. B. Custer, the disciplinarian of the school, and the dictatorship of Prof. Carlo Con- trado, left Phoenix for an overland trip to San Carlos. From there they went to Fort Apache, Snow flake and Holbrook, rendering con- certs at each point visited, from which source the expenses of the trip have been paid. After the band has completed its three-day engagement here during the cele- bration, they will make an extend ed tour through California.

 Patriotism means love of country but it depends upon what idea we have of the word ''country." To some it means freedom from op- pression, freedom of worship of God and an economic opportunity to make home. To others it simply means chance to make the al mi ghty dollar, and license to spend it in sin.

ON July ?, two years ago, Will liams-that is, the business portion of the town-was a smoking pile of ruins. Fire had swept the entire business district and the loss to our merchants was a most severe one. Today Williams has a much better class of business blocks, all of them being of either brick or stone, and the stocks of goods carried are not surpassed by any town in the terri tory. On July 4, two years since, the population was most sad, and felt but little like getting in and celebrating. Today our people are all prosperous and happy, and while they have not forgotten the terrible blaze, and its effects are felt in few places, every one will join in the celebration and forget, for the time being, their cares and worries. The Williams of today is so far ahead of what she was two years ago, that we may well cele- brate-for that reason if for none other.

 Harry Pyle and Milton Earns worth were fined $15 each on Thurs day by Justice Ranney. Warrants for their arrest were sworn out and served by Marshal Kennedy, the charge stating that they had com mitted misdemeanor by riding faster than the limit of six miles an hour, as provided for in one of the town ordinances. Many time we have seen men chasing horses and cattle down the main streets on a dead run, but they were not ar rested on warrants sworn out by the officers. The NEWS is in favor of having the law enforced, and what is good in one case should be good in another. Many a time we have seen broncos ridden right on the main street which were much more dangerous than rider going at a good gait who has his horse under control. If the officers are going to start in to perform their duties, let justice be done alike to all. The amusing part of the whole performance, though, is that this is the first horse Pyle has had that could exceed the six-mile limit, and he is hardly to be blamed for al- lowing him to sprint.
