We owe it to the community IN
which we live to do everything
we can in every way possible
that will be to it's advantage.
Our neighbor's prosperity means
a great deal more to us than
someone's who lives elsewhere.
We should bear this in mind in
buying our goods. We can afford
to pay our home man a firm
price f1r his wares rather than
send our money away, knowing
as we do that every dollar our
own citizen makes will help in
sustaining our schools, churches
and public institutions. 1t pays
richly to patronize home indus

The recall of the Judiciary en-
bodied in our Constitution will
be recalled, in order to- cater
to the whims of president Taft,
by the people themselves when
given an opportunity to do so.
We do not believe in yielding
a principle to any man-in ac-
Icepting the Constitution without
the recall of the Judiciary we
are NOT yielding a principle, we
are not acknowledging that this
feature is bad or vicious but
diplomacy, when used to further
a good cause, to reach a noble
end, is honorable. To accept the
Constitution for Arizona and
Statehood without the recall as
applied to judicial department of
our state government is simply
diplomatic at this time.
We. have believed from the
start that all this talk against the
recall of judges was mere sub,
terfuge, that there were other
objections that certain interests
opposed and that the recall was
simply used as a pretext for de.
feating statehood under the pro.
gressive principles. By accept.
ing statehood without the recall
we knock all the wind out of this
objection and leave the opposit.
ion holding an empty bag.
And, what difference does il
make whether or not we have
the recall as applied to judges
from the very start? Under oul
easily amended constitution cam
we put in the recall at any time
after we become a sovereign state
We believe in being diplomatic
in the matter. not stubborn anC
like a spoiled child show obedi
ence tillwe have reached our ma
jority.ss Then we shall act for our
selves and from principle.

To make sure that ghouls will

E. L. Kellner, who lives at Toxic

will repose there, protests of neig

In the construction of the un-
usual casket, copper of obout the
thickness of an inch was used.
1t is securely bound with brass
strips, fastened with heavy brass
bolts. The lid is to be fastened
with four locks, upon each OF
