HORSE THIEVES GET
 A WAGON AND TEAM

Is there well organized band of horsethieves operating in northern Arizona? is the question that is agi- tating the minds of the officers in this county. It really looks that way to great many the way team and wagon and shotgun belong ing to H. c. Sanders, living about two miles west of Williams, mys- teriously disappeared last Sunday night. Despite the strenuous eff forts of the county officers not the slightest clue has thus far been dis covered that would lead to their dis covery.
 About month ago MT. Sanders employed a man claiming to be a cook as assistant at the ranch. Everything moved along smoothly until Sunday night, when the man suddenly disappeared, and it is SUD- posed he is the party that stole the outfit.
 The loss was not discovered until late Monday morning, when MT. Sanders informed Sheriff Tom Tul- liam. and he came on the first train to Williams, and in company witE Ranger Ed Johnson made a thor ough, search, but not trace coule be found that would lead to the direction the thief had taken wher he drove away from the ranch.
 The search is being kept up by the officers, but nothing has beef developed and it begins to look a though Mr. Sanders will not recove
 his outfit at least that seems to b. the general opinion.

TWO MEXlCANS KILLED
 BY NO. g ON TUESDAY


 Two Mexican section hands, named Jose Carrillio and Brigid Padilla, working near ChaIlender, about ten miles east of Williams, were struck and instantly killed by train No. 9, west bound, on Tues day. The men were standing on one track watching a freight train i, when the passenger train came around the sharp curve at that point and caught the men before they were able to get tout of the way. !
 Coroner Rounseville was notified and went out in an automobile and brought the remains of the two men to Williams. The inquest was held Thursday afternoon. The verdict of the jury exonerated the railroad and train crew from all blame fol the accident.
 The jury was composed of L. s. Williams, foreman; R. D. Postle, Robt. Burns, Geo. s. Pattep, Geo. McDougall and J. s. Button.
 The funeral of the two m en was held Wednesday from Buttonps un. dertaking parlors and they were in. tered in the local cemetery.

RULES GOVERNING
 PARCELS POST MAIL

This is a second notice about the new parcels post law that is to go in effect on the first of January, and it would be. well for everyone to read it, and tell their neighbors about it.
 Remember that regular parcels post stamps must be used on all parcels mailed after the first of Jan uary, and that any parcel found in the mail with the old kind of stamps, or parcel found in the mail without the sender's name and address, will be sent to the dead letter office.
 Also, remember that parcels are to be mailed at the postoffice and not at the depot boxes or the liar vey house.
 Parcels weighing up to 4 ounces will be subject to postage at the rate of one cent for each ounce; over 4 ounces must pay the pound rate. There will be no half pounds or fractions of pound, and if the parcel weighs just over one pound, postage must be paid for two pounds and so on up to the limit of weight
 The United States is marked off into districts called zones, and the rate is different for each zone, in ac- lcordance with the distance. and not the old flat rate whereby you would have to pay as much for sending a parcel to Ashfork as to send the same parcel to New York. Just keep a few of these things in mind, and also please have little patience with the postoffice depart ment, for it. will be impossible to have such a large undertaking put into effect without some mistakes, so iust9make some allowance fol | errors

pie have been traced to colds caught
on inauguration day.
1t may not be generally under
stood that the taking Of the oath of
office by the President and Vice-Pres-
ident cannot be postponed without
a change in the constitution author
izing it, but there is nothing in the
way of having the other ceremonies,
such as the parade and the ball,
postponed to a later date.
A few days ago Gov. Wilson an
nounced from Bermuda that he was
willing to go as far as the law will
permit in complying with what seems
to be the general wish in this mat
ter; that he would agree to take the
oath of office on March 4 and to
have the other ceremonies on the
last Thursday in April.
Whether or not this will be done
is still an open question. It is quite
a difficult matter to effect change
of this sort because Of the difficulty
of getting a concert of action. Pub
lie sentiment is ripe for it, but there
seems to be lacking influential men
enough to lead in the movement.

duced into Congress four years ago
to amend the constitution making
the last Thursday of April the legal
day for the beginning of the terms
of Office of President, Vice President,
Senators and Representatives, thus
making that day inauguration day,
though why the resolution hasn't
been acted upon isn't clear. AS far
as we are informed there is no in

surmountable obstacles in the way
Of making the change.
While it is true that the last
Thursday in April might turn out to
be rainy day the chances of fair
weather then are much greater than
on March 4. And it is a great dis
appointment for those who attend
the inauguration ceremonies to find
at the national capital snow or rain
or weather that is otherwise unpleas-
ant. Many of the visitors incur
heavy expenses to see the ceremo-
MES, or participate in them, parti-
cularIy the military organizations.
In consenting to a change in the
date for all of the ceremonies except
the taking of the oath of Office Gov.
Wilson has taken the first forward
step in this much discussed move
ment and has shown himself to be a
true progressive. (Ga)

TIE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.

The postponement of the presiden-
tial inaugural ceremonies would be
quite generally appreciated. While
it is true that very small per cent.
of the people attend the ceremonies
the great majority are either direct
ly or indirectly interested in them.
Those who propose to attend them
desire good weather and those who
do not prefer weather conditions that
would permit Of the ceremonies be-
ing success.
This question Of postponing the
ceremonies until later in the spring
has been the subject of much dis
cussion since 1909, when, on account
of weather conditions, it was neces-

competence laid by for the future" says the
Miami, Fla, Metropolis.
1t strikes us as being little early to begin
to worry about Mr.. Wilson's future financial
condition, since Mr.. Wilson has not expressed
any dissatisfaction with the amount of salary
connected with his new office
The salary is now the same that it was
when the different candidates were seeking
the nomination, and if Mr.. Wilson had
thought the salary insufficient to support his
family he would likely have let some Of the
other aspirants have the nomination. and
fling at the job.
Another thing, Mr.. Wilson has managed to
exc out an existence as Governor of New Jer-
sey on salary of $4,000 per year, and one
who has practiced economy so rigidly as to
get along on $4,000 per year certainly ought
to be able TO get along on $4,000 per year
with $4,000 extra thrown in for ''in-
cidentals."
The Wilson family are said to be instinct
lively simple In their tastes and democratic
in their pleasure, which is another argument
that the President elect will not find himself
beggar while holding the highest office in
the land
The Tafts are good livers as we'll as liberal
entertainers, and some of the close personal
friends Of Mr.. Taft estimate that he will
quit the White House March with little
more than 100000 saved out of his Pres
Dental salary.
Say that Governor Wilson cares to unlim-
Der little bit, and get as much pleasure out
Of life as has the fat gentleman from Ohio,
he should quit the Presidency with at least
100000 laid by for rainy day, for we are
assured that Mr.. Wilson will carry out pre-
election promises to the country, which means
two terms for him.
A very conservative estimate gives the
President of the United States a salary of
$4,000 per year over and above all living
and social expenses, and that is not salary to.
drive one to want.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-12-12

By no means should the Democrats forget
the program of economy, and increase their
Presidents salary the first jump out of the
box
And, too, the cost of living is to be re-
duced under the Wilson administration,
which means that Mr.. Wilson will have an
opportunity to earn more than the $4,000
per year, over and above all expenses.
Since the press both North and South is
calling so much attention to the utterances of
Gov. Blease, off South Carolina, it is a pity
that the Governor lost his temper and did
not make clear explanation of what he
meant by his remarks instead Of shouting
to "hell with the Constitution" he should
have explained that the crime awakened a
human passion that recognized no law except
that OF wreaklng vengeance upon the brute
that under the sway of such passion men
did not stop to consider Constitutions
The remarks of Gov Blease may have been
Incorporate fact, they were incorporate
but there is no need of making such a row
over truth.
Senator-elect Vardaman, in commenting
upon Blease's speech, said:
Thousands of good law-loving, home
building, God fearing white men, both in
the North ana III the South, down deep III

the governors of the Southern States in
the Richmond conference to teach the I'M
informed nation the truth regarding the
anomalous condition existing in the South,
which condition made it possible for
Governor Blease to make the extraor-
binary speech attributed to him. Instead
of commenting on and condemnipg the
ebulition Of temper manifested on the
part of the South Carolina executive, it
would have been better to have brushed
aside his incorporate utterances with an
expression of depreciation, if they felt
like it, and then proceeded to explain to
American people the reason"
And the Ex-Governor of Mississippi IS
right.
We may abuse BIease for his temper and
language, but we must admit that many of
us have feeling toward the brute akin to
the sentiment expressed by the South Caro-
lima Governor.
For the crime committed upon the white

ment meted out by the white man, and it will
continue to be so just as long as the white
mans skin remains white.
