AS TO THE FLOUR MILL

At the meeting Of farmers held here
last saturday. the question Of build
ing Il tlOurmill was discussed to some
extent but the real points of advan-
tag were overlooked.
Ii it is y fact that very little Of the
wheat raised in Montana is shipped
ont of the state. couldn't Il mill in .]u-
dith Gap afford to pay more for
wheat than the elevators or the
Minneapolis commission housesy
One speaker at The meeting was Of
the opinion that the best way to pro-
ceed was to build an elevator and
ship all the grain to Minneapolis.
Surprising that the Minneapolis mills,
or commission houses, both Of which
control Ill the line elevators in Mon
talla RS well as elsewhere, should de-
eide to not accept the wheat from the
judith Gap elevator. which is owned
and controlled by the farmers. The
local elevator would have to sell it's
wheat to the Montana mills. And
Whc owns the Montana mills? WASH
burn, Crosby * Co.. the big Minneap-
oils millerS, own those in Great
Falls, and are undoubtedly interested
in others.
Surprising the Montana mills
should decide to not purchase the
wheat from the farmers elevator in
Judith Gap, what would be done with
the grain?
1t is Il well known fact that one Of
the farmers in this territory, not be-
ing satisfied with the old line eleva-
tors prices. dockage and grade at his
home town, shipped a carload of
wheat to Minneapolis. The product
was praised as beng Of Il fine quality
and there was no dockage for dirt,
and he commission man asked him
how muci more he had. lie replied
that ne had several thousand bushels
more to ship, but was promptly mott
fed that no more Of it could be ac-
cepted by that commission house.
And it was the same story from the
other commission houses. The far
mer was simply forced to sell to the
local elevator and take his medicine.
See how it works:
The farmers as body cannot get
relief or become absolutely lndcpend-
ent until they can manufacture their
wheat into breadstuff and thus be
able to reach the absolute consumer
of their wheat. There is no combine
on earth that can control the inuivid-
ual bread -eater, and he is the only
real consumer of all the wheat raised.
The money Of each stakeholder in !;
mill could he safe guarded by incor-
porating and adopting bylaws that
would protect the smallest investor.
A mill would eventually be Of great
er benefit to the individual farmer
than an elevator. 1t could do your
custom grinding, whereby you could
get your flour without any middle
mems profit added. You could buy
the Offal from the wheat in the way
of screenings, bran and shorts with
out having to pay added freight and
handling charges on the same. These
by-prOaucts secured ut such rea-

NAVAL SNOBBERY

The commandantat the Annapolis
naval academy has apologized fol
an affront to a young woman. who
was invited by a midshipman to one
of the academy dances. Because
the young woman was the compan-
ion Of the wife of one of the officers
it was intimated to her escort that
she was not socially eligible to An
napolis naval society, but it hap
pened that she was the daughter of
an honored and eminent professor
at Yale, who at one time was an in,
structor of the man who is now
president of the United States. The
girls father complained to the pres,
ident and the apology was forth
coming. Possibly if her father had
not been the teacher of the presi.
dent, the complaint would not have
been needed. Naval snobbery was
rebuked because it made Q mistake
in one Of its victims. But naval
snobbery will persist toward those
who cannot bring influence to bear
to prove they are of class worthy
to associate with the navy. To
your military or naval man anyone
who works has no social status.
And naturally. 1t is the workers
whose backs support the army and
navy. Why should the supported
have other than contempt for the
supporters? The army and navy

sAFFoRD's CELEBRATION

The meeting of the business men
and property owners of Stafford to-
morrow night at Judge Colton's Of
flee will be for the purpose of dis
cussing plans for the celebration to
be held in Stafford. July Sd and 4th.
Every business man, property
holder and citizen who is interested
in the welfare of the town should
attend this meeting and take an
active part in making the plans for
the big celebration of independence
Day.
Last year Stafford held no celebra-
ton of any of the holidays, the cele-
brations going to Pima. Thatcher
and Solomonville. This year the
people of Stafford should get togeth-
er on proposition to hold the big
gest and best celebration ever held
in Arizona. and we can do it.
For the two days. program OF
horse racing and ball games at the
fair grounds could easily be ar.
ranged, and the racing card could
be made attractive enough to bring
large crowds from every town in
the valley and from Globe and Miami.
On July 4th, patriotic services
could be held in Wickersham Park.
with the three bands in the valley
and the different choirs to take
part. An interesting program OF
music and speaking could easily be
provided.
In the afternoon program of
sporting events for boys and girls
could take place on Tenth street,
with the Stafford band in attendance.
Stafford has always taken the lead
in the celebration of Independence
Day end have held very enjoyable
and successful affairs. There is no
reason why Stafford should not do
so this year.
The meeting tomorrow night
should be largely attended and the
work of getting up the celebration
should be got underway at once for
the biggest celebration yet ever
held for the glorious Fourth.

MR.. SMITHS MISSION

The visit of Hon. M. A. Smith to
Washington may or may not contri-
butte to the securing of Statehood for
Arizona. but it stands out as about
the only intelligent move made re-
Gently in the interest of Statehood.
In the shape into which things have
been thrown, there is no other Ari-
zonan who could go so far toward
bringing order out of chaos. There is
no other democrat who has so large
an influence with the democratic
members In the Senate where the
first obstacle Is likely to be en-
countered. How serious the OBJ
stacle may be is a matter of con-
lecture. There 10 no other demo-
crat in Arizona who could so strong
Iy appeal to the president for a
modification of the attitude he is
supposed to have assumed toward
the proposed constitution.
If the situation should become
such that there should be need of
conciliation between the Congress
and the White House there is no
other man, democrat or republican,
who would contribute in greater
degree to conciliation.
At no stage and in no phase is the
House likely to obstruct Statehood
proceedings. There would be no
serious objection there to the rati-
fication of the constitution in its
present form. Nor do we think
that the House would oppose at the
lsst moment any modification of it
that weuld insure Statehood.
in the Ssnats there is an entirely

The FL Paso Times should get a
new correspondent for its Gila val
ley news. 1t recently reported that
our valley farmers were shipping
the new crop of alfalfa at $500 per
ton, which was not true. The first
crop is going out rapidly at $3.50
per ton, and better price is likely
to prevail in the near future, as our
alfalfa is the best grown in Arizona
and readily finds q market.

full and good crops are being cut all
over the Gila valley. The wheat
and barley fields are looking good

OLD SUMTER DAYS
Fifty Years Ago the Confed.
crate Batteries Fired
on Fl. Sumter

-
April 18th, the Confederate batter
les in Charleston Harbor fired on
Fort Sumter. That cannonade con-
solidated the North. and the in
vasion" that soon followed rendered
the same service for the South.
From that time on to the deathgrip
in the spring of 1865 there was no
place on either side for moderation.
Our highest tribunal was the battle
field and amidst its thunders dis
union and slavery perished.
The cause that was surrendered
at Appomattox embraced political,
economic and moral errors, some of
which still survive in other forms.
1t was politically wrong because
every tendency of the time favored
the concentration rather than the
division of peoples. 1t was econom-
ically wrong because it considered
only the welfare of a privileged
class. 1t was morally wrong be-
cause it rested upon human bond
age and denied the brotherhood OF
man. These things are clearly to
be seen today by nearly everybody.
To a large proportion of our popu-
lation fifty years ago they were
hidden.
We do not have to look far to
discover the reason. Ignorance and
sectional prejudice had something
to do with it, but the pride and
greed of a class were the principal
factors. The first Big Business that
went into partnership with govern
ment in this country was slavery.
1t gained the impression at last that
it was government. In all the his
tory of the race nothing has shown
such power to bind the eyes and
dull the ears of men otherwise good
as business considerations. The
slave-holding oligarchy had many
subtle reasons for its appeal to the
sword, but the privileges and profits
derived from unpaid labor were the
true ones.
These anniversary days, recalling
so much that was heroic and terri
bic, will have little value if the
present generation fails to grasp
the true lesson of that struggle.
There would have been no war if it
had not been for Big Business. 1t
was privilege that armed the South
against the North. twas privilege
that devoted the republic to the
desperate chances of civil strife.
1t was privilege that consigned the
freedom of black men to the risks
of revolutionary strife. 1t was
privilege that staked every Ameri-
can glory on the hazard of a vicious
war for the perpatuation of slavery.
Contemplating what privilege did
and dared fifty years ago, Ameri-
cans of this day should not need
further warnings against the most
noticeable tendencies of later times.
Big Business is just as arrogant now
as it was In 1860. 1t is as closely
allied with government. It is as
selfish and cruel and reckless. In
stead of one interest there now are
many, but they operate in harmony
and to the same sordid end.
Privilege in a republic is a foe
more to be dreaded and resisted
than any that comes with armies
and dseadnoughts. We barely no.
tice the enemy within. New York
