The primary election Tuesday was an exceedingly tame affair with very little interest manifested among voters. There were only I32 votes cast at Flagstaff and about 50 at Williams. The demo- crats and republicans voted the majority of the ballots cast with I8 for the Bull Moosers and 7 for the socialists in the Flagstaff pre- cinct. The Bull Moosers and socialists were interested in get ting out as large a vote as possi- bic, while the old parties paid but little attention to primary, as there was only a contest among the seven democrats for the three places as presidential electors.

The parcel post is at last an assured fact. The government will carry parcels up to an eleven pound limit. The details of the new law have not been worked out, but it is understood that charges will be made according to distance, using a certain section of the country as districts or zones in which flat rate will be made. A parcel post of this character may be of benefit, but it would have pleased more people if the Sunday closing law was abro- gated. The new order for Sunday closing will be anything but popu- lar among people generally.

DON'T KNOCK

Don't knock. It is an admis- sion of the weakness of your own argument and does not advance the merits of your proposition a particle. Leave knocking to the lads whose shallow gray matter permits of no other course, and note how successful they are NOT getting business. If you cannot sell your line by straight and above board methods, get one that can be sold by such means. With little more study on your part you can learn enough good things about your own proposi- ton to give you plenty of argu. ments in it's favor. Try positive methods of making sales instead of negative, mud-sliging tactics Knocking never yet secured an order, but it has caused the loss of many. Base your sales argu- ments on the merits of your own line, and not on the defects oI others. .-Ex.

LIKE OLD CAESAR DID

When Caesar took and eastern ride and grabbed the Gauls for Rome What was the first thing that he did to make them feel at homer Did he increase the peoples loads and liberty forbid? Mo- he dug in and built good roads, That's what old Caesar did. Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foe mems breast, Or did he try to make them feel that Roman rule was bestS What did he do to make them g ad he came their midst amid? He built good roads in place Of bad-that's what old Caesar did. He built good roads from hill to hill, good roads from vale to to vale; He ran good roads movement until old Rome got all the kale, He kept his legions building roads while he sal on the lid Until all roads led up to Rome that's whar old Caesar did. If any town would make that town the center of the map, Where folks will come and settle down ant live in plenty's lap, If any town would hold its own and the cal house trade outbid Let it go out and build good roads-just lils, old Caesar did.

The republican victory in Maine does not seem to indicate that the Bull Moose party is gaining head way very strong in the east. The national issues were to the fore, and the state that had gone demo- cratic in 1910 turned back into the fold. The business men of the country and the thinkers are not to be fooled this year. Taft has gained strength every day from the time of his nomination.

A more congenial place could not be found than the Florence Club, which. was at one time called "penitentiary," according to the article from Red Rock. Any sentence, hereafter, that takes man away from his busi- ness will be frowned upon by the prison authorities, including the governor. It is not only inhuman but exceedingly cruel to keep a man away from his business and family because a fool jury and a cruel judge have gone into colusion and sentenced a man to prison for merely killing some one, or simply stealing from another.
 Why should man be punished merely tor violating the law of the land?
 It is only the unfortunates that do this, and why should unfortu- mates be compelled to obey laws that "fortunates" make?

The local candidates for presi- dential electors on the republican and democratic tickets, were ad- vised by Williams friends that they could not expect any support from that end of the county be- cause they opposed the division of the county and did not support the Hunt county advocates. This sort of a proposition should work both ways, and, as the east end of the county happens to have the most votes, it is only question of how closely each end of the county will stick by their candi' dates. The east end of the county should at least be as loyal to loca people as the west end can hate them because of their location ir the county.

sMAcKs OF PINCHoTs SYSTEM

President Taft has been made the victim of a very unfair piece of work on the part of the recla- nation service which unless reme- died will end whatever chances he has of carrying Arizona and probably several other western states. In this state the activity of the reclamation and forest ser vices for Roosevelt in the pre- convention campaign was known and in many instances boasted of. The reclamation service is power ful in the state, as under it's direc- rection is just being completed the Roosevelt dam at a cost of many millions of dollars which irrigates the Salt River valley, one of the largest reclamation projects in the world, and the Yuma project. The reclamation service at Washington has just submitted to the settlers of the Salt River valley a new form of contract providing for an increased rental which is regarded as extor- tionately high. In apologizing for the contract and in their effort to stem the tide of criticism against the reclamation service its agents are saying to the Arizona farmers that the Taft administra- tion is responsible for the in- creased rental and that 1t will be reduced if MT. Roosevelt is re- turned to the White House. No more fragrant injustice has been done the president in many moons and his friends are wondering whether he will ignore this as he has done so many other similar acts on the part of his pro- -Roose- welt reclamation service. If he does, party leaders in Arizona, Utah, Idaho and other irrigation states of the west declare that it will cost him thousands of votes. President Taft has backed up the reclamation service at every stage of it's work and yet he personally has been blamed by its agents in the west for every act on their part that proves unpopular in that section. Their publicity pol icy has appeared to be that Roosevelt is responsible for whatever is popular in the service and Taft for what is unpopular. " Such behavior toward less pa tient president would have re- suited in the dismissal of many ficials.-Tucson Citizen.

The road question is one that is hard to down, especially in this county where 1900 miles of public highway must be cared for. The general opinion seems to be that to keep all roads passable, starting in with a stone crusher and steam roller and make few miles of permanent road each year, would eventually solve the prob lem. A wonderful improvement would result in a few years and the people would wonder why the system was not inaugurated years before.

John Mariner, Chicago man, complained of a severe pain in his stomach and was operated upon.
