C. 5. Patterson For Marshal

This week the News has the pleasure of announcing Charles S. Patterson as a candidate for town marshal, at the approaching town election, to be held May 18th. MT. Patterson is peculiarly fitted for the position, and we see no reason why he should not serve the city we'll in that important capacity. As deputy sheriff oi Coconino county he has proven that he is entirely capable of hand ling the duties required of him in that instance; also that he is not the possessor of a weak backbone when 1t comes to a matter of mak- ing arrests. During the time that he has been special officer for the Santa Fe he has proven himself to be one of the most faithful of ficers in the service MT. Patterson is a good, honest, conscientious man, and possesses every qualifica- ton required for the office.

The decorations were Of Japanese design and origin-huge fans, lanterns in abundance, while suspended from the central electric light was huge Japanese umbrella below which was a most remark able sight-a cherry tree covered with blossoms.

hat been to in recent years. He told us that nearly forty years ago he resided at Wickenburg, while that town was one of the liveliest mining camps in Arizona. While down there on a visit a few days ago, he was una ble to find a single person in the town, whom he had known during the early days. He spent some time searching among the monuments in the cemetery at Wickenburg and sue ceeded in finding the. graves of three of his old time acquainta nces While walking in the cemetery MT. Cham berlain found a one dollar bill. He says he intends to pre-. serve 1t as souvenir.
 Mir. Chamberlain thinks it a pity that so many of the graves of the old pioneers are unmarked and uncared for. He thinks that the brave fellows who blazed the trail for civilization should be shown some recognition, and in that belief he is correct. The legislature should make an appropriation for this purpose, and do it soon.

ASHURST IN WASHINGTON
Speaks Words of Praise for Joe
 Foraker, and Boosts Arizona

We cHp the following article from the Washington, D. C., Post:
 Arizona would rather be joined to Old Mexico than to be admitted into the Union in joint statehood with New Mexico," said H. F. Ash urst, of Flagstaff, at the Raleigh. i've think we are entitled to single statehood and we want it. There is some talk that perhaps Congress will consent to take up the state hood matter at the next session, but personally I have my doubts whether we can expect any action until the next Congress.
 Arizona men are grateful to the men in Congress who aided them m their fight. especially to Senator Foraker, who is justly popular in the Territory, among Democrats and Republicans alike. As John 5. McGroarty expressed it, When Arizona sat on the cold, stone steps which led to the seats of the mighty she prayed for one strong friend to help her in her hour of bitter need"
 "At last he came with tilted lance and ancient shield, dented with the scars of many battles. Hail to the knight of the gray plume-old Joe Foraker, of Ohio. Senator Foraker was our friend and we shall always feel indebted to him. I regard him as one of the greatest men ever in the United States senate, and one of the few who have the courage of their convic- tions. It would be cala mity for Ohio to fail to return him.
 Most persons in the east do not realize how rapidly Arizona is be- ing developed" continued MT. Ash urst. Just to illustrate: Six years ago there was a small village on the southern boundry os the territory, with a dozen or more houses and a few hundred people. Today that village is a thriving city of 1000, with electric car lines, fine business blocks. and at least one hotel that will compare favorably with any in Washington The city is Douglas. Arizona. and should ever leave Flagstaff. where 1 have lived for thirty years, l should make direct for Douglas. which I believe to be one of the coming big cities of the Vest"
 We are glad to see our friend Ashurst stand up for Arizona's friend, Joe Foraker; also that he shows a disposition to "boost" for Arizona while sojourning in the east.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Wants to See Officers Elected
 Who Will Do Things.

There are twenty-six women be- longing to the "Woman's Club" of Williams, who are deeply interested in the improvement physica Fly and morally, of our town. Perhaps others not members of our order will endorse us and work with us for the betterment of Williams.
 Your paper, of which we are justly proud, has lent much aid to the cause, as also have the kind words and approval of our efiort from most of the leading men of the town.
 The coming election mea ms much to us all. We have reached poirt where we may either go ahead ard achieve much good or turn the wheel of progress backward inm the old rut. Do, we pray you, lay aside politics for once, and work for the good of all. Can we not have men az officers whose interests are here and whose hearts are in the work of reform? Strange to say, if this element prevails, both sides will be gathers. the opponents as we'll as the advocates of sound, healthy, moral city government.
 We do not need the enactment of new laws so much as the enforce ment of those already existing. AS mothers our interests center in the children. We should like to zee a more perfect enfor orcement of the curfew law-of the laws prohi biting the sale of liquor and tobacco 10 minors, and the enactment and enforcement of any good law to help the boy and girl over the years of weakness and indecision.
 It is our aim in time to give a reading room to the men of the town. We wish the aid and CO., operation of our officials.
 The Woman's Club stands for the health and beauty of the town. Not only should small parks le layed out and beautified, but the water. without which it is impos- sible to beautify. should be con- served. Nature furnishes us liber- ally, but we are prodigal and lag gard in our use of it. There are several feasable projects for supply ing the town with an abundance of water at all times. We ask our of ficials to consider the subject. We further suggest that tree planting and the cultivation of such plants and grasses as will grow be encouraged.
 May we not hope for the co opera tion of the incoming mayor, coun. cil and school board in this and other good works that, shall be proposed by our club for the het- terment and beautifying of Will Hams? Respectfully,
 MRS. K. ". WILLIAMS, Pres.

CHRISTMAS DAY
At THE WHITE HOUSE
The President Entertains At A
Family lunch.
POOR AND NEEDY NOT FORGOTTEN
An Ideal Day in the National Capi-
tai and the Jingle of the Sleigh
bells Heard ON Every Side How
the Day Was Observed in Official
Circles.

Washington, d. G. Especially -
Christmas at the national capital was
marked by an almost complete ces-
sation of business, both official and
private, and in its stead there was
substituted the time-honored observ-
ances of the gladsome day. Nature
com bined to give an added effect to
the joyous occasion by covering the
city with a mantle of snow, and the
Jingle of sleigh bells was everywhere
heard. AS has been the case In
years past, interest centered In what
the official families were doing
President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave
large family luncheon, with rev
intimate friends, and at night they
dined with Rear Admiral and Mrs
Cowles. Most of the cabinet folks
were here, the only absentees being
Secretary of War Wright and Mrs.
Wright, who celebrated the day at
their home in Memphis; Attorney
General and Mrs. Bonaparte, who
were at their home in Baltimore;
Secretary Newberry, who was the
guest of the Detroit Club, in his ma
tive city, and Postmaster General
Meyer, who has gone on a brief
hurting trip. The Vice President,
his daughter, Mrs. John Timmons,
and the sons of the household re-
NAMED here to participate in the
days festivities, While Mrs. Fair
banks is visiting friends in Atlantic
City.
An event of some moment to six
hundred children of the officials and
employees of the postoffice department
occurred at Masonic Temple, where
Mrs. Meyer was the hostess at an
entertainment of music, pantomimes,
moving pictures. etc. There was a
large Christmas tree to add to the
delight Of the youthful ones, and
presents for all were distributed.
All the churches conducted relig-
ious services, and in some OF them
special music was provided.
The poor and needy were not over
| looked. From known and unknown
sources many a home, chilled by the
wintry blasts and made desolate by
poverty's sting was frightened by
generous supplies of fuel, food and
raiment. The associated charities in
most instances had charge of the
work of distribution, although the
Elks, Mystic Shriners and other fra
ternal orders, business firms and
private individuals extended inde-
pendent help.
Tang Shao vi, the ambassador from
China on a special mission, is enter
tanning a merry gathering of Chinese
students during Christmas week.
They include number of those sent
here by the Chinese government for
education in American institutions as
we'll as others sent here by their par
ents, to the number of more than
eighty in all. The boys come from
as far West as Chicago and as far
South as Atlanta. Every opportunity
will be afforded them to see the
sights of the city and to enjoy theii
visit to the national capital.

LABOR MUST OBEY LAW
SAYS JUSTICE WRIGHT
President Gompers, Guilty, Is Given
One Year.

Washington, ID. G. Especially -
The iron hand of the law fell heavily
on the foremost champions of organ
ized labor, and Samuel Gompers, the
President of the American Federation
of Labor; John Mitchell. one OF It's
vice presidents. and for years the
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, and Frank Morrison,
the secretary of the Federation, are
under sentence OF imprisonment,
Gompers for twelve months, Mitchell
for nine months and Morrison for
six months.
This sentence of Imprisonment has
been infected upon them by Justice
Wright, of the District Supreme
Court, for contempt of the court.
in this, that although Justice Gould
had enjoined Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison from printing in the Amer
ican Federationist, which is the Of
fetal organ of the Federation, the
names of the Bucks Stove ana Range
Company on their we don't patron
ize" list, Mr.. Gompers, who is the
editor of the Federationist, In edi-
torial in the Federationist, last Janu-
ary, boldly announced his intention
not to obey the courts order. con
tending that the injunction of Justice
Gould was a derogation of the rights
of labor and an abuse Of the in1uho-
tive power OF the courts. According
ly Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison we're brought into court
for contempt, and Justice Wright, in
an opinion full of soathing denun-
citation of their attitude, found them
guilty and sentenced them as stated.
The keynote of Justice Wright 8
decision was that the law must be
obeyed and that an order of court,
right or wrong, is to every man
law, and 1t is for no man to as
sumo to Judge. IL place the decision
of the matter at bar distinctly on
the proposition that were the order
confessedly erroneous. yet 1t must
have been obeyed," he said. Here
Justice Wright cited an authority
and then, after a pause, looking
straight at the three who sat before
him, he continued impressively:
"It is between the supremacy OF
the law over the rabble, or its pros
tration under the feet of disorder
ed throng."
