tempt to justify their acts. The Sun is still awaiting an explanation of the action of the council as to why they should go back on their promises made before election.
 The explanation is due the public from these gentlemen who have for their motto Let the right prevail though the Heavens Fall" " It may be right" to give additional priv ileges to the illegitimate interests and add to the burden of the legiti- mate interests, but the people want to know why.

No JOlnture for Arizona.

Last week Gov. Kibbey, chairman of the republican central committee, and E. E. Ellinwood, chairman of the democratic central committee, met at Phoenix, and held a confer ence and agreed that they will sum- mon their respective committees to- gether in Phoenix on August 4th, at 10 o'clock a. m. The meetings will probably both be held in the capitol building and committees ap- pointed by each to devise a policy and outline plans for making the joint statehood question non-poli- tical and putting it into effect.
 It has been the sentiment of both parties so far as there has been an opportunity to express it, that the jointure question is non-political and should be opposed by both parties. This is the attitude as- sumed by both chairmen.
 Chairman Ellinwood came to confer with Chairman Kibbey as to the best means for a harmonious cooperation of the two parties on that question. As the time is ap- preaching for Organization for the fall campaign it was decided by the two chairmen that it would be best to have the initial meeting of the two committees held in the same place and on the same date when a proper conference could be had be- tween the members of both sides as to their sentiments and the best course to pursue for cooperative action.

4 MISGUIDED COUNCIL

when little johnnie harrington, lit tie bennie doney, little willie fal- der and little georgie black were elected to the town council. It is now admitted that their election to the council was a mistake and it is now a matter of regret to all pro- gressive citizens of Flagstaff.
 Prior to the election it was feared by some of the voters that if they were elected a change would be made which would be of benefit to the saloon interests. At this sugges- tion these four candidates became indignant and declared through the press, by circulars and from the housetops that if they were elected there would be no change in the ordinances regulating the saloons, and the people believed their state ment and they were elected.
 These four now act together in nearly all matters coming before the council. thus making major ity vote in the council, and during the past three months the council has been busy doing just the oppo- site from what they voluntarily pledged tn em S e Ives to before election.
 The ordinance prohibiting women in wine rooms has been repealed ; the gambling licenses have been reduced; prostitutes are licensed the ordinance regulating women singers in saloons has been repealed and now the voice of the warbler" is heard nightly; the license tax of the merchant has been increased to three times the amount of the for mer ordinance.
 It was for these acts of the council that the Sun criticized the council, and does not regret having done so.
 In the last issue of the official paper of the town council the ma jority members of the council at- tempt to vindicate themselves for their uncalled for actions which give the saloon interests privileges not employed for some time past, and in increasing the burden of the business men.
 They make no answer to the crit icisms of the Sun, and give no reason why they went back on their prior election pledges.
 Mayor Verkamp, who did not agree with the majority of the council, Rabbit Brothers and the preceding council are all brought into the controversy, and not one of the parties mentioned had anything to do with the article referred to ir the Sun.
 No reason is given by them why they repealed the ordinance men tioned above and they make no at
