PRESS COMMENT
FLAGSTAFF HELD UP.
Icoeonlno sun.l.

q. .. (coeonino Sun.).. .-..
 It would be a good idea for the Flagstaff Commercial club to invesu- gate the fire insurance rates charged in Flagstaff. and if nothing can be done to cure their greed, mutual fire insurance company would be a good thing to establish. The Flag stan rates are the same as rates in other Arizona towns where there is mo adequate fire protection and are practically prohibitive. The rate on residence property runs from. 4 cents
 to as high as : and cents. Rates in other states are about one-tenth
 of rates charged here. If insurance lcompanies continue to discriminate against Arizona. as they have in the
 past. they should be busted from the 4 territory

DO THE PEOPLE RULE? A NATIONAL REpROACH.

The current issue Of the De- -igRer has performed the service ot sot oRly describing the efforts Of a leading New York editor to arouse the people to a sense of their duty and rights, but Of also quoting what the same editor had to say about he whole thing in private conver- sstioR The Review asks it's readers 10 give particular attention to the following:
 The other day l noticed in New York paper g long editorial to the effect that the people had refused, and would continue to refuse, to give any further monopolies to the sesl stree: railway gang There. was much more about the 'unholy srees" and the financial trickery e against which sR aroused people would do battle The people!" 1t was funny.
 As though the writer of that ed iteEisl did no: know how little the people" had had to do with it! Way, se has spent many years in | frastie. almost fanatic, effort to arouse those same people" to some sense of their own rights and ob- liss6sls.
 He goes about, day after day, aciiag as though he really believed tAa: 'Ske people" were back of an this agitation. as though he and the ether earnest Journalists of the country were merely nouthpieees sf a sane. thinking, active public.
 Yet in private conversation re gently he said, with 6 show of bit :erness. that the people neither knew nor cared about their own business.
 It is not merely New York he said, nor Chicago. no San Francisco. It is America. Similar conditions iR England would result in mobs and riots in a few weeks; on the Continent there would be revolu- ton, but we. boasting our freedom. are eowed by every show of wealth and authority. Easily led? Non sense! we are not led We are scarcely even drawn We merely look on, too busy grasping for the little things of the moment to see or care that our future is being taken from us a. every turn.
 T often wonder what sas be, come of the spirit of '7s, about which we SO love to talk Is it dead Are we completely unworthy. or are We just temporarily dumb?
 T have heard it said that the trouble lies in the new and indif- ferent blood that comes in by the way of immigrant ships; that 'the good old Puritan and the hue old Cavalier breeds are dying out be fore the foreign invasion.
 That is as stupid as it is false I can go down into the Italian quar- ter or the Jewish quarter. or any other quarter where the new arri vals live and rouse more genuine patriotic feeling. more fighting American spirit, in two weeks. than The whole press of the country can awaken among real Amercsns n two years.

 Scandinavian Carving.
 From earliest times carving has re- celved great attention in Scandinavia. One sees evidence of this in many Swedish churches, both in wood aud stone, dating back many centuries Iu Stockholm are many to be found, now safely cared for in a well known mH- scum. Some of these northern church. es, notably those of BOrgund and Hit terdal, are quite covered with such quaint ornamentation. Beyond such public expression of painstakiBg labor one may see in almost any comfort ably furnished house wooden forks. spoons, salt boxes aud platters. but still more attracting attention are huge wooden tankards, and these will often bear close study both in desigr. and ia execution.

 The New York editor is right in saying that the lack Of1 interes; of the people in their own business is common throughout ;he pation.

Those in she constitutional convention who were bent more upon obtaining personal revenge for some past fancied grievances. or who tried to serve their own personal ambitions or who were so densely ignorant that they could hardly be expected 10 dis agree with the socislistie leaders, received 10 rebuke from the people The latter. apparently. did not care and that at a time when long hoped for statehood was at stake. 1t was the peoples business to see that :he constitutional convention delivered statehood. it was their right to have statehood; it con eerned them 8 million times more than it did tho S2 delegates at Phoe nix.

On the plantations as soon as one
boat is gone they begin cutting for
the next boat, the cutting being by
punches.
Other odd fruits could be exported
from here but the demand is estab-
lished for the one sort, SO why bother?
Still there are coming the number
less trains Of bananas. Still are the
men unloading. On the dock six or
eight braziers have been set up, side
by side, and on these some of the
leaders are cooking supper. They,
too, eat Of the bananas, and they
claim these are best when the outside
skin is black. Otherwise the food is
hard to digest. Many of the leaders
have the habit Of eating these just
before going to bed.
An awning is stretched over the
lower deck, and there the work goes
on-almost without noise. All night,
all next morning, all next evening it
will continue. A man on the deck
keeps count of the punches by an au-
tomato counter in his hand. How
many Individual bananas there may
be no soul can estimate. By and by
the men start singing at their work,
keeping this up throughout the night
time.
BY noon next day they are tired,
but some still sing. Only when they
finally leave the vessel do they show
signs Of exhaustion. And even then
away down here in Panama, "Old
Kentucky Home" breaks from their
threats in farewell.
The public market of the city of
Panama is a private enterprise, and
the building is one of the best to be
found in all Central America, being
built of steel and covering a floor
space of nearly $4,000 square feet.
AS it stands on the busiest portion of
the bay shore ard is supplied with
wharves, cargoes from neighboring
coast towns are unloaded directly at
this central distributing point, which
will increase in Importance with the
completion of the Panama canal.

Protect SILK Stockings.

When you want to squander your
surplus wealth-if you ever have any
let your toe nails grow and then
buy and wear silk stockings. Each
pair can be safely guaranteed to de-
velop nice large holes in two days
time.
But for the rest of us who dote on
silk stockings and have only one or
two pairs to go through the season
with, devices such as the toe guard
and top protector are welcomed, be-
cause they will prolong the life of our
fragile silk treasures.
The toe guard is mitten effect
which slips first over the toes before
you draw on the stocking and pre-
vents the friction against the stocking.
The top protector is most practical to
prevent the hose supporter from tear
ing stitches in the silk stocking. 1t Is
made of channels skin, and Is fastened
to the hoe Importer in the first place
and regularly laid between stocking
and supporter fixture, so that the
fragile silk is quite protected.

NOW PRISONERS CAN'T SING
Philadelphia Officer Uses Snuff and
Gets His Regular Amount of
Sleep on Duty.

Sometimes the members of the po-
lice force in the various station houses
are rudely awakened in the night by
the warbling of intoxicated inavid-
uals who occupy apartments behind
the iron bars in the cell room. Up I'M
til few days ago the hose was very
effective means Of preventing encores,
but now a new one has been devised.
A sergeant, asleep in his chair. was
awakened. Finally, an idea struck
him. Going to his closet he took out
a small package and started for the
cell room. He broke the string on the
package, parted the wrapper and took
out a pinch of powder. He blew tho
powder between the bars and returned
to his chair. This is what happened.
The warbling Individual started his
song: "All that I-chew-aak is
chew-a-chew-is love, all that-a4
w-a-chew-chew." Then
there was a pause, followed by a
chorus of "a-chews," and finally all
became quiet. That was all--except
that the sergeant went to sleep again.
He has since been getting his regular
amount of sleep on duty.-Fhiladel,

GOOD ROAD ERA HAS BEGUN
Once Constructed, Highways Should
Be Looked After ReguiarIy-Dust
Preventative Is Needed.

The good road era has begun in
many states, and already the steam
roller, the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out of the
original roadway are familiar sights in
many of the eastern states. The
roads built are generally of approved
macadam construction, which, COM
pleted, are perfect strips of white rib
bon running through the green fields
and hills of the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built, and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and exclaim: "These roads are now
good for a generation or more without
trouble" This is a serious error, and
one being made in many states. That
it is an error is borne out by the dust
cloud raised by passing car travel
ing at 20 miles per hour, or perhaps
faster.
Many fail to realize that whenever
dust is raised a road is being de-
stroyed, says the Motor Age. This is
particularly the case on smooth mac
adam surfaces, where there is nothing
to hold the dust on the road, and
where every cross wind blows off any
loose material.
AS soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them in
repair. With roads it is essentially ga
stitch in time saves nine" Some dust
preventative should be used immedi.
ate1y macadam roads are completed,
in order to prevent dust.
Oil, tar and many special prepare.
lions are now on the market, and the
communities should be educated to
looking upon these additions as le-
ultimate part of the road maintenance.
California has its oiled roads over
which motoring is pleasure to the
motorist and not a dust-bath to the cit.
izen who happens to be on the road
the same day, or who has the misfor.
tune to reside along well-traveled
highway.
Massachusetts proved last year that
road treatments are a success and
more economical than continuous ap-
plications of water; and in England
dust preventing is always considered
part of the road problem.

Real Value Of Roads.

When the farmers of this country
recognize to a sufficient degree the
real value of good roads in general, and
the Importance of maintenance as a
means to their attainment, to induce
them to cooperate with and assist the
municipal authorities in establishing a
system whereby the roads will receive
ample care and attention after they
have once been properly constructed,
then and probably then only will the
waste of energy and money that is
now going on in parts of this province
be arrested, and the efforts put forth
towards securing the desired results in
the improvement of road conditions
become appreciably noticeable

Possibilities OF a Pancake.

The pancake is 6istinctively Amer,
lean institution. 1t is eaten only in
secret in our best families. 1t would
be eaten openly and above board were
it not that folk of the upper circle
have to maintain their dignity before
the servants.
Properly made, the pancake Is a
thing of beauty and a Joy for the time
being. Improperly made, as it usually
it, it is a blight upon life and a har-
assment to the stomach. A wrongly
prepared pancake can stay with you
longer than the after effects of pneu-
montA.
If our girls were taught how to make
pancakes, civilization would go for
ward so rapidly that those who are
now trying to reform our social struc-
ture would be back numbers by day
after tomorrow.
