In part as follows:
To-day we are again presented
with the opportunity of enjoying the
fruits of labor-a day of rest-Labor's
holiday. Labor day.
| La Dor day means much to the
toifers OF our country, and, TX properly
understood-and we sincerely hope
the day will soon come when il will
be so understood-means much to
our citizens generally.
The day is fast disappearing from
the horizon Of this country when the
laborer and the laborer's more fortu-
nate brothers and sisters, who. do not
have to work for living, but who
constitute the employers. must con-
tinualIy quarrel over what. they
believe to be their rights in the
premises.
UNDERSTANDING BROADER
TN the place ofsthe day Of suffering
privation and want, due to the herein
before mentioned quarrels. Is coming
tina day OF broader. understanding.
when reason. equity, Justice and fair
play will be the dominant features
which will be called into play IN the
adjustment of such questions. When
ever and wherever reason and COM
| mon sense are allowed to play their
important parts, particularly on the
Industrial stage. the position of the
wage Garner. as well as the employer,
is made more comfortable. happy and
prosperous, and life more worth the
living
1--WE. therefore, sincerely hope and
trust that each succeeding labor day
viii bring the people az our country
that which, 10 more than all else to
neutrality-suspicious. and contentment
and peace with their. fellow man.

BUSY BEAVERS Al WORK
 ON YOUNG C0TTONWOOOS
Arc Playing Havoc With the Trees
 Along the River.

People coming to the city from the Roosevelt dam report that the beavers are at work among the young cottonwood trees growing along the river for a distance of several miles. The operations of the beavers were first noticed about six months ago.
 These trees have grown up since the flood waters were withheld by the Roosevelt dam and those who have seen them have looked forward to the time when they would make delightful shade for picnic parties. The trees vary in diameter from four to ten inches.
 The beavers girdle them at a height of from six to eighteen inches from the ground. They go round and round. cutting the niche deeper and deeper until the tree falls in the direction the beaver wants it to fall; that is, toward the water Then Il is worked into the water and floate1 i down to tke beaver damsite.
 Some of these trees have beer 1 feued so far back from the bank tha

1 CERTAIN SIGN
 OF TIE LEGISLATURE
Judce J. c. Evans, Of Roosevelt, Ar
 rives in Capitol City.

If Governor Hunt had not issued a call for a special session of the legislature: if not the slightest men ton had been made of the probability of a session, if none of the other signs of an approaching orgy of legislation were visible, everybody III Phoenix would have known last night that there would soon be meeting of the lawmakers of Arizona. Judge J. C. Evans, of Roosevelt, came to town
 Judge Evans though not member of the present body, has been an almost essential part of every Iegis- Iature since the nineteenth. He be- gan at the bottom rung of the ladder of leeislation by being elected a mem- Der of the assembly from Gila county.
 The experience he gained in that humble capacity fitted him for pro motion and in the next session he became a committee clerk. He rose steadily from one position to another until he became doOrkeeper of sue ceeding legislature.
 Whether he will remain through the forthcoming one is uncertain. He has arranged things so that he may stay if duty calls him. He is the justice of the peace and official coroner for Roosevelt precinct. He l has seen all of his constituents and they have promised to abstain iron l litigation and crime during his ab- sence. Morose persons who might bt 1 suspected of a purpose to commi
 suicide were called upon by Judge
 Evans and they have all pledged i themselves not to yield to self de
 structive tendencies for period O sixty days beginning with Februar,

}ztcc Sun Festival Pro posed: Aztcca Another Name Suggested for the Spring Celebration and Admission Day Stunts

The Aztec sun Festival, or the Dawn Q America.
 That is the historic symoolicpoe n. lie that was tentatively adopted y iterday for the spring two-day fes- q al, but in order to give the learned ar'heologists and historians of the stlte an opportunity to meet, confer and devise more names, out of which en a better one can be chosen, the auove quoted appellation was not ac- csDted finally.
 Nearly all the members of the com u ttee on arrangements were decided ou one point, that the name should hold forth the lure of the Aztec. As one put it. "The kids in English schools KuOw more about the races that were iu America before Columbus arrival than those in the United States, and if We can spread some of the interesting lore of the Aztecs let us do 1t by using that name or a similar one" Ona other suggestion was made but it was not considered at yesterdays meeting. The modification of the first name 'sug- gested. and one that will be more laudy to use and has more of the local color of the bronZed tribes. was .Azteca. the Dawn of America Az tea is the Spanish rendering of the Mexican name, and can be applied to

 Next to raming the festival, select ing colors for the hilarious space was the most important business of tn, committee. but it didn't happen. The men members preferred the blame for the color scheme to lie at the door of the ladies, 50 the duty was relgated to them formally.
