EQUAL TO THE OCCASION

The motive power in the office of
the Post went wrOng-or rather didn'
go at all-and for a time this week
it looked very much as if this issue
off by hand. Those who have had
any experience with that most uncer-
tain piece of machinery, the gasoline
engine, will readily appreciate the sit
uation. When the linotype baks, the
old-line compositor is not at all
disturbed for he knows he can go to
the cases and rattle up the type by
hand, as of yore. But when it comes
to hand press work, ah that hurts,
for it is a matter of "bye, tourn the
crank. With the mercury dangling
around the 12O degree mark, as it
was this week, and the sweat drip
ping from ons's nose and brow Like
the bitter tears of Bethany or the
sweet May drizzle-drozzle, the con-
temptation OF such job strikes it's
victim with the force of a ten-day
sentence to the tread-milL Such was
our mental predicament this week un-
til the service of H. e. Buckingham,
the master machinist, was secured.
buckingham went to work without
imprecations, fuss nor feathers and
in short time had the refractory bit
.of machinery under perfect control
and working like charm. "a friend
in need is a friend indeed and the
bye" was relieved of the necessity
of grinding" off the papers by
hand.
When it is matter of fixing ma
chinery, Mr.. buckingham can fix any
thing-excepting possibly an election
or a political machine'-and even
then, if he were to put his mind to
it, it is the candid opinion of those
who know him best, that even the in
tricacies of the famous "steam-roller"
OF the late Chicago convention would
be naught but bagatelle in his
hands. But his regard for the eth
les OF his profession gives him a pos
tive dislike for machine politics..
Aside from all pleasantly, however,
Mr.. Buckingham is certainly a thor
ongh machinist. having worked in
many OF the large shops in the east,
and, if you bet on him every time,
you will invariably carry off the
''swag"

NEW BOAT LAUNCHED.

The new twin screw motor boat, the
"Tom Goldsby," built on the local dry
dock by Hall & Buckingham for H. L.
Sullivan of the Parker Commercial Co..
was finished. launched and trial trip
made up the river Thursday. This
trip, with Master Sullivan in COM
mand, Captain Hull on the bridge,
Engineer Buckingham at the Wheel
and Mr.. Fuqua and family and Chas.
Wait as passengers, was very sue
cessful one, the craft behaving splen-
didly against the strong currents and
swirl-pools. The Tom GoIdsby has a
capacity of Is tons, is IS feet long
and Is wide, and being built for river
navigation, is fiat-bottomed with draft
of only from IL to 18 inches. She will
be used in the freight and passeng er
traffic between Needles and Blythe.

GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE

l. Thou shall love Arizona with all
thine heart, boost it with all thy
breath, and cultivate its fertile acres
with all thine understanding-lik
wise swat the fly.
2 Thou shalt not expectorate upon
any sidewalk nor upon thy neig1hbor's
porch, neither shall thou eject any
spittle in any public place or vehicle
of transportation for the public
health is a pearl of great price and
must be conserved. For this reason
also swat the fly.
g. Thou shalt not commit adultur-
ated foods into the hands of thy
brother when he is an hungered, for
coal tar coloring is an abomination,
and benzoate of soda worketh evil
to mans belly. ALL things do in mod
Grafton except when you swat the fly
4. Thou shalt keep thy vows when
thou goeth into politics, likewise hold
thy tongue as to promises, for the
Arizona voter has a fearful and won
derful memory, and the files of the
newspapers shall never perish from
the face of the earth, when they call
your attention to swat the fly.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother
for without them Arizona would still
been burden desert and thou wOuld't
not have thy automobiles, nor thy
herds of shorthorns, or thy fields Of
alfafa-but remember that for all
things thou shall be held responsible,
so swat the fly.
6. Thou shalt swat the fly
yea, with the swatter and poison
shalt thou encompass his destruc-
tion and with tanglefoot shalt thou
ensnare his feet so that he goeth no
more from the manure pile to the
baby's crib, bearing disease and
death. In the morning when thy go
eth forth swat the fly, and in the
heat of the day, when thou resteth
for a brief spell, swat the fly; and
in the cool of the evening, when thou
art weary after a days work, even
do thou plot his destruction.
7. Thou shalt not give to thy
neighbor strong drink Lest ye both be
damned Say thou rather to him,
Go thou to Missouri and get thine
own souse in thine own way" In
this manner wilt thou fulfill the law
and save thine own supply at the
same time.

AN OLD-TIMER
PASSES AWAY
FRANK cox, FORMERLY Dis
TRlCT Attorney OF MARlCOPA
COUNTY, DIES AT LlVERMORE,
CALIFORNIA.

News of the sudden death of Frank
Cox, general counsel for the Southern
Pacific lines in Arizona, was received
Monday at the company offices in
Tucson. Mr.. Cox died Sunday morn
ing at l o'clock in a sanitarium in
Livermore, California.
His death was caused by hemor-
rhage of the brain, due to enormous
blood pressure. Mr. Cox suffered a
nervous breakdown about a year ago
but his serious condition was known
only to his more immediate friends
and relatives, and the news of his
death came as a surprise.
Mr.. Cox came to Phoenix in 1879,
from his native state, Texas, and
began the practice of law he being
elected district attorney of Maricopa
county in 1884, according to the Star.
He served four terms In 1894 Mr..
Cox became general counsel for the
Southern Pacific and for some years
he was legal adviser for theWestern
Union Telegraph company and for the
Wells Fargo company. Previous to
his association with the Southern Pa
cificI Mr.. Cox had taken an active
part in democratic politics, but after
that he declined official honors ten
dered him by his party and gave
himself up wholly to professional
work
In 1883 he was married to Mrs. An
ME Boyd, daughter of the late S. G.
Reed and she survives him. He was
member of the local lodge of Ma
sons, of Arizona chapter of the Phoe-
nix commandery and of the Ell Zari-
bah temple.

ROOSEVELT'S
FIRST SPEECH
SPEAKS WITH COMPARATIVE
EASE AFTER FIRST FEW SEN
FENCES, BUT WITH A HUSkF
NESS WHICH SHOWS THROAT
STILL TROUBLESOME.

PITvTSBURG, June 30-FOrmer
President Roosevelt made here today
his first speech in the 1914 cam
paign. He spent five hours in Pitts
tically. In his address before the
Pennsylvania Progressive league he
criticised the policies of the Wilson
administration, attacked Senator Pen
rose and appealed for support of the
progressive ticket. 1t was apparent
as soon as Roosevelt began to speak
that he does not possess his former
strength and vigor.
He spoke. tonight with comparative
ease, after the first few sentences,
but there was a huskiness in his
voice which showed that his throat
was still troubling him. Persons in
the rear of the building at times
found it difficult to hear him His
gestures were less rapid and vigorous
than of old. and as he neared the
end of the speech he was plainly
weary
Col. Roosevelt publicly recognized
the difficulties under which he was
laboring. Men in the crowd called
out something which he could not
hear.
Il didn't quite hear you," the col
onel said, ''yet you have a good
voice
There was noticeable change in
his manner as compared with that of
two years aago when he engaged in
his previous campaign Roosevelt
made the trip to Pittsburg against
the advice of his physician and it
was felt that the result would go
far toward indicating to what extent
he will be able to take part in the
progressive party's battle in the next
four months.

SHOOTING AT CADEz

The news reached this place Friday
morning of an unfortunate shooting
affray that took place at Cadez the
night before, in which the night Op-
orator of the Santa Fe, a young man
named Johnson, who had that day
assumed the duties of that station,
was mortally wounded by brakeman
E. l.. McLeroy. From the meager
particulars obtainable, it appears that
Johnson and McLeroy had a dispute
over the ownership and possession
of a sleeping cot. From words they
came to blows when Johnson drew
a revolver and tried to shoot the
brakeman The latter grasped the
weapon and in the scuffle that foi
lowed the weapon was discharged the
bullet striking Johnson on the side
between the hip and lower ribs and
completely through the alb
dominal cavity The wounded man
was taken to Los Angeles but he
lived but short time.

TO BE MOVED
TO PHOENIX
HEADQUARTERS OF LAND OFFICE
INSPECTION WILL BE MOVED
FROM LOS ANGELES TO PHOE-
NIX, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AC-
CORDlNG TO REPORT.

LOS ANGELES, Gal, July 2-If
the present plans of the interior de-
partment at Washington are carried
out Los Angeles will lose the division
headquarters of the field service of
the general land office for Southern
California and Arizona, and the new
MIA, Arizona and New Mexico will
be at Phoenix This was it's location
previous to 1910, when it was known
as the Arizona division, that was at
that time supplemented by the addi-
ton OF Southern California.
When the proposed change in the
office was communicated to Grat W.
Helm, chief of the division, he at
once rendered his resignation to the
interior department to become effec-
on the Both uh. The shift to Phoenix
will result in the permanent retire
ment of Mr.. Helm from the govern
ment service, as he refuses absolute
ly to go toPhOeniX. Under the pres
ent plans the entire working force
Of the local division will be transfer
red from Los Angeles to the capital
of Arizona
The fact that with the office at
Phoenix is nearer the mining in
terests Of Arizona and New Mexico
is given as the reason for the change
in official circles, but the fact that
Arizona is represented in the United
States senate by a pair OF democrats
in the person of Hon Markus A
Smith and Hon. Henry F. Ashurst,
has probably a determining interest
in the matter Mr.. Smith is a re-
publican. In any event, whatever the
cause, political or otherwise, one of
the important divisions of the federal
government, so far as headquarters
are concerned, will be lost to Los
Angeles.
John J.. Birdno, receiver of the U.
S. land office, stated that the field
division was to be again located in
Phoenix but did not know just when
the change would be made nor who
are candidates for the office.
