"Ocean to Ocen Highway As sociation" recently assembled at Phoenix, deciding upon a trans continental automobile route and the below relative thereto m akes 1t advisable that the busi- ness men ot Gallup should awake to the possibility ofdiverting the route this way, a route which is at once more feasible and desir- able. The Republican will do its part to accomplish the end sought and 1t is suggested that counsel and consultation among those interested, and is assumed that everybody is, would likely materialize into an effort to point out the feasibility and ad- vantage of the route through this section.

 Dear'Sir:
 Attending a meeting of the Roads Ass ocia tion at Phoenix, opened my eyes quite a lot to the demand of the automobile people for a declaration estab- fishing the route of q highway. A resolution was passed, by the Tri-State Roads Association cal led the "Ocean Highway Associa- tion." des ignating Yuma as the place ofentrance from California, and the route from Phoenix east via Roosev cit, Globe Solomon vile, Clifton and Springville, out in New Mexico by way of Mag dalena. This draws the line over the Sothern Pacifce instead of following the old trail route as indicated by the Daughters of the American Revolution in their assoclation for roads improve ment.
 I think it is highly necessary that some feasible route, if there is one, can be determined upon , by Gallup west, either by St. 1 Michaels and the to Adamana, as you indicated, are along the line of the railroad. It is exceed ingly important to the features of the highway to the northern part of the country that work be commenced on this at once. The railroad has indicated its will ingness to help out.
 Yours very truly,
 T. G. NORRIS.

IT NEVER WAS A
 POPULAR FAD

"The recall is not the tad it was a year ago, writes the Phoenix correspondent of the Fl Paso Times, who predicts that it will never be restored to the constitution. He refers, of course, to the recall as applied to tbe judiciary.
 We do not believe that the re- call was ever a fad in Arizona. If there was ever a demand for 1t we never heard oft At the time of the seating of the consti tutional convention there was no probability that it would be included in the constitu ution. In only two county conventions for the selection of candidates for delegates to the convention had the matter been discussed. No- where, except in sociallstic and Western Federation circles and in Oregon where w. s. U'Ren of the Peoples Power league and a life long socialist, has been mak- ing the laws, had there been any where Tn the United States any suggestion for the application of the recall to the judiciary.
 The subject was brought up in the convention from the so- called labor section and 1t will be recalled that though the judi ciary recall was supported by many weak but unwilling demo crats, it would have been easily defeated if the republican mem. bers had not chosen to play pol. iticS.
 It was urged after the election on the ratification of the consti tuition that eighty per cent o the voters of Arizona had declar- ed for the recall of the Judiciary As a matter of fact, about forty. six per cent of the voters of Ari zona declared for the constitu ton, necessarily as whole since they were powerless to strike out any objectionable pro vision.
 Whatever apparent sentimen on the subject afterward existed may be chargeable to the short sighted policy of the republican
 members of the constitutions convention when they refused t. join with the braver and sane democrats in their movement t. exempt the judiciary from tn operation of the recall. Ha this been done President Tai would not have had occasion t
 anger the people of Arizona by seeming reflection upon thei judgement though they had bee given no opportunity to exercis judgment or discretion.
 But this circumstance arou SC a feeling of resentment whic was a seeming sentiment in fa vor of the recall, but was reall, , d strong sentiment against tn
 republican president and, incl dentally against his party il
 Arizona.
 Thus, when the republican
 members of the constitutions convention refused to assist i
 amending the recall provision they really started something which eliminated Tn republica
 disaster last election. Here wa !, where poetic justice got busy Bisbee Review.

 There were 125 teachers in attendance, 37 of whom were from Navajo county. They can- not say too much in praise of the teachers and citizens of Pres colt for their royal entertain ment. The citizens turned out with their automobiles and took the whole bunch around the Loup, a distance of AZ miles.
 On Wednesday evening an en- tertainment was gwen at the high school auditorium, consist ing of play by home talent, music, dancing, a banquet, etc. Everybody was happy.
 There were five lectures by Prof. Chamberlain of Pasadena, Calif., on educational rsabjects, which were extremely instruct i've. Prof. Smith, of Winslov7, read paper entitled, "The par ent's part in recitations, or, the fourth factor in a recitation, on which he was highly compli- mented and which was thor oughly discussed by the mem- bers. Miss May Powell. of Winslow, read a paper on the subject, "A crime in our public schools" which was ably writ ten and showed Miss Powell to be thoroughly versed in her pro- fession and conversant with
 what is still necessary 70 bring our schools to the perfection to
 which they ought to attain.
 At the business. session on
 Wednesday afternoon,- Prof. R.
 G. Smith, of Winslow, was elect
 ed president of the association
 to succeed Dr. Blome of Flag
 staff, and the next meeting is to be held in Winslow, in December, 1912. R. c. Smith, superinten- , dent of schools of Navajo coun- , ty, was elected secretary and
 treasurer, and Prot. Carr of the Holbrook schools and Miss Ger , trude Hackley of the W:nslow schools, were appointed on the legislative committee along with Prof. Baker of Prescott, Pref. . Lecky ot Jerome and Prof. Cur
 rin of Williams; so Winslow and Navajo county are not keeping up in the rear by any means on educational mat

 At the meeting of the associa-

 demonstrate that she Is not be-

 we are progressive when it comes to what IS tor the benefit

THAT NATIONAL
 HIGHWAY ?22


 oluted as follows relative to the route of the transcontinental highway.
 Resolved. That the transcon tinental highway, in crossing eflle state of Arizona, shall begin at Yuma on the Colorado river and run thence along the course of the territorial highway as heretofore surveyed to the city of Phoenix. thence by way of Tempe and Mesa to the Roose- welt dam. thence to the city of Globe. over the territorial high way already constructed. thence to San Carlos on the Gila river, thence up the Gila valley to Gift ton, thence northerly to Spring erville, thence easterly to the Arizona and New Mexico line to form junction with the high way as constructed through the state of New Mexico.-Flagstaff Sun.
 Yes, Brother Breen, they re- solved all right. but we are of the firm opinion that those reso- lutions will not stand the test of time, and few other things.
 The fact is that the road goes the wrong way. It should have followed along the line of the old Santa Fe trail as near as possi- ble.
 When your transcontinental tourist returns to his home in the east after having traversed the route laid out by the good roads association he will be asked by dhis friends about the painted desert, the petri6ed fnr- ests. the Moqui villages ana their snake dance, and last but not least the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and what will his answer be? Did not see any of them? Why? Oh, the official road did not take him to any of these places. And then our east ern friends will come to the con- clusion that congress made a mistake itr granting us state hood, we the people of Arizona who lay out a highway, such as is proposed above. Their con- clusions will have some merit, too.
 Now, the good roads associat- ion is not the whole works, not by a Roosevelt damsite. The counties of Northern Arizona and those of western New Mexi- co, are all alive to the situation and before the proposed terri torial highway can be put in shape for travel all the year a. round lit now being impassible) we will have our roads fixed up in shape and ready for the trans, continental tourist, who, being reasonably sane, will want to come the way where things ol interest are to be seen, therefore he will come this way, Proposals are already being Advertised by tbeterritory for the Construction of a bridge across Chevelon creek, and this when completed will make Navajo County's roads all completed and capable of being traversed twelve months in the year.
 We have repeatedly called at tention to what has been going on in the proposed highway business, and hope that our eff forts will be rewarded by induc ing our people to not let tht matter drop until our roads arc in good shape and we will gel the business, having the bes route by far.
 The following from the Gallup Republican will be of interest il connection with this article:
