definite and concrete, and they are
absolutely practical. We treat our

Il doubt II there ever was Il con.

of the people, and with a higher
average of individual character
among the representatives, than was
the case with the Progressive ma
tional convention at Chicago The
spirit in which it met was a spirit
.0f deep and genuine religious fervor
using the word religious in it's
broadests and truest sense: spirit
which found expression in singing
the noble Battle Hymn Of the Repub

written by a woman, Mrs, Juliet
Ward Howe, who as wife and moth

lie and private life was one of the
best citizens this Republic has ever
brought forth. am glad to say
that among the representatives in
cur convention We're a number Of
women; and not only high in pur-
pose, but in wisdom, in character,
in cool-hcadednoss and in farsighted
understanding of the needs of the
nation, they stood on an actually
equal footing with the men. Our ma

Wilson's Faith In Publicity.

At all times and places, says a writer in Success, Woodrow Wilson has counselled opening our govern mental processes to the light. Thus at Minneapolis: - -
 livery community Is vaguely aware that the political machine upon which 1t looks askance has certain very defi- nite connections with men who are engaged in. business on large scale, and the suspicion which attaches to the machine itself has begun to at- tach also to business enterprise just because these connections are known to exist. If these connections were open and avowed, if everybody knew just what they involved and just what use was being made of the alliance there would be no difficulty in keep ing an eye upon affairs and in con- trolling them by public opinion. But, unfortunately, the whole process of law-making in America is a very ob- scure one. There is no highway of legislation, but there are many by ways.""T se---, e.-e- ... -., .9-sr
 At another iime he paid this hu- morous, tribute to publicity:
 ''There is one very disturbing quail ity in man, and I have experience 1t myself and dare say you have. When you are 2, long way from home and see no neighbor from near your home you give yourself an extraor- dinary- latitude in your conduct, but if you were on the desert of Sahara and met one of your immediate neigh bors coming the other way on a camel you woul1 behave yourself until hs got out of sight"

WANT LOWER
 GRAZING FEES

A number of the sheepmen of the, state, including Hugh Camp bell, president of the Wool Grow CTS, association, were in confer ence at ,PhoenIx the last week with Arthur C R1ngland of Al buquerque, district forester, and Charles H. H1nderer of Prescott, forest supervisor. The matter in consideration was that of the grazing fees on the. forest re- serves, which by the order of the secretary ofagriculture have been raised about 20 per cent this year all over the country. The sheepmen say the range condi tions this season are so unusual ly bad that if the higher fees are exacted 1t will spell heavy losses, and request has been made that the fees be left where the were last year, so far as Arizona IS concerned.
 Messrs. Ringland and Hinder CT were taken to Cave Creek and vicinity and had previously looked over the country bet ween Congress and Phoenix where many sheep are usually wintered. The ranges are bare and it is said not range sheep will be sheared in that county this year where generally hundreds of thousands receive their annual trimming. Today or tomorrow they will look over the ranges in Yavapai county outside the re serves.
 When questioned last evening the gentlemen said they were fully convinced of the severity of conditions under which the sheep men are operating this year and will gladly grant the request for the lower fees if they can do so but must first consult the depart. ment. The order was made ge- neral and whether. the depart ment will make an exception oi Arizona, will have to be seen.

 HH that fire department?


 H that fire department?
 A novel plan that is being worked in eastern towns was suggested to us this week by way of getting men on the fire department. These cities equip each mans home, who is a member of the depart ment, with a phone, so that at any time of the night or day, when he is at home, central calls up each member on his phone and announces the fire. The city pays the phone rent, and the families have the use of the phone for private pur- poses at all times. This meth cd in the way of organizing a fire department would be very little expense to the city and in time would work out so that we would develop a very eff cient corps of fire fighters from these "call men"

a T a recent Board meet ~ ing of the County
 Board of Supervisors we had occasion to see some of the good work done by our old Board of Supervisors in way of large maps of our county roads that had been ordered by that Board and surveyed and drawn by MT. Art Saunders, the present county surveyor. As laid out the county will have a good network of roads, a good deal of which are now in good shape and others are being put in shape with very little labor and expense. Linking these with the steel bridges we now have in the county, and a probabil- ity of two more being built, Navajo county will be among the first class in the counties in Arizona in this respect in a short time. When this work is completed the Transconti- mental H ghway will surely come our way.

G(T is now up to the people 1 of Winslow to commence

 thinking of the matter of Investigating whether they could procure available ground that may be utilized for the purpose of a park. This mat ter has been talked over by the citizens a few years ago, and at that time the ground for that purpose could have been gotten for sorg, practi- cally speaking, It does not matter much one way or the other; it is easy enough for any person to see good Tn things that have passed, but we have the future to consider and the sooner we get busy on this subject the better and easier we can go thru 1t. If we are right to the best of our knowledge the proceeds from the Frontier Celebration af- ter all bills were paid left a balance i'll the bank of some $I5o. Prominent business men of Winslow figure that we shall give another celebra- ton of that kind here again this year, but, before we can do that they figure we ought to make arrangements for a permanent park and suitable grounds which will be owned by the town of Winslow. In other words they figure that the old dangerous grandstand built of wood ought to be re- placed by Steel and be made a permanent structure. In this they ask the assistance of the
 
 City Council to find ways and means and prices for the city to acquire that particular piece of ground to be used for cele- brations of that kind; horse races, baseball grounds and a general park. It seems to us that it would he money well ex- pended for a purpose of that kind and we imagine that eve " citizen would be heartily in favor of the movement. Take in consideration the hot sum- mer days, which will soon be on; there are but few amuse- ments thatwe can enjoy in our little city and what would be nicer if you could teke your family out in this park, sit down in the shade of the trees where you would meet other friends and neighbors on a Sunday afternoon or in the evenings? Aside from the ori- ginal cost of the ground, the rest would be easy and in a year our two old "standbys, the cottonwood and .Burmuda grass, would make those same grounds joy and a pleasure forever. Now is the time fo1 us to get busy on this matter and see what we can do.
