Progressive Party Deserves
 Commentator

All fair minded people of what ever political party, must commend the progressive party for the really progressive and high principled d platform which they have adcp d and for the impartial way in which they are seeking to secure efficiency in public offices. No one can read the progressive plat form without noting the great stride forward which that party has taken for political honesty up- ri.htness and service of the people as compared with the stand taken by it's mother, the present republi- can party. The sincerely of tho pr, gressives' declaratson for eff ciency in public office is attested ill this state by their enlargement of F. A. Jones fir corporation con- m iesioner and J. c. Callaghan for State Auditor, both candidates on the democratic ticket. Both are men of high efficiency and the pro- gressives hare shown commendible impartiality and good judgment in endorsing these two and would have shown a yet greater desire for efficiency in public office had they endorsed the remainder of the dem ocratic ticket.

Bryan Says of Wilson

"I am glad to speak for the President at this time'', said MT. Bryan at the Star-Spangled Banner celebration in Baltimore, after pay ing a personal tribute to the chief magistrates singleness of purpose, ''because he is a president who strives for peace. In this time of strife, the President, had it been possible, would have been glad to come here and speak for that prin- ciple.
 q am glad we have president who will not allow the nation to be drawn into the vortex of war He is net fearful that patriotism is lacking He knows that if a mill ion men were needed he could issue his call at sunrise and have the men at sundown. He knows that he would have the service of those who wore the blue and of those who wore the gray; that he would pot only have the support of those of his own political faith but of all citizens"
 For moment MT. Bryan dwelt on the Mexican policy of the ad ministrat:on, saying:
 ''Some of our people seemed to doubt the wisdom of 'watchful waiting,' and some were inclined to < use the term as one of ridicule. But times have changed nightly during the last few weeks and now there is none who speaks of that policy in other than terms of re- spect."

Good Road to Ash Fork Soon to
 be Completed

The work on the three miles of road between Coconino County and Ash Fork is now being pushed and will soon be complete. This road as being constructed, joins the Cocodino County road in a straight line and con tinues perfectly straight until just before entering the town. There it makes a turn to connect with the main st. eet.
 The rocks are being dug or blasted out of the entire course and a goo0 grade is being made. Once com pleted, if this road could be rolled or dragged immediately following heavy rain, it would make first class road at once. At present, altho a considerable po- tion of 1t has been opened to traffic, it has not been travelled because no one has yet volunteered to turn their auto or wagon into road packer. The road will be used in time, how yer, and Yavapai is to be complimented on the high grade of work being done.

President Wilson Fair to all
 Sides

A railroad man in discussing President Wilson, the other day, said. ''I voted for Wilson the last time and I will vote for him again. Not only that, I will do all 1 can to get others to vote for him and I think nearly all railroad men will support him. We feel this way toward Wilson for the simple req son that he has been perfectly fair to us, as well as to the Railroad companies. We don't ask a pub lie official to be partial in our fav- or but simply to be fair with us"
 If that is the way the railroad men feel about it, it is easy to see why the engineers were willing to arbitrate their grievances and de- mands that threatened to bring about nation wide strike only a few weeks ago. The companies seem to have much the same feel ing toward the President, or they would not have consented so readi- ly to arbitration. Certainly there are two sides to the disputes that arise between employers and em- p!oyees, and what is needed in a President is an attitude of perfect fairness to both sides. This We ha ye iii Ilts.Ccut Wilson.

A Little Excitement on the Fourth.

Jack Auair furnished little eX-
element Saturday night which was
not on the regular Fourth of July
program Some time ago Jack was
fined for intoxication, and was re-
leased by Mayor Farquhar on his
promise to go to work and pay off
his fine He evidently forgot all
about it, and had failed to show up,
so when he appeared on the streets
Saturday night, Mayor Farquhar or
dered his arrest. Special policeman
D. G. Cannon sighted him and chas-
ed him to the southwest part OF
town, but Jack broke away from him
and escaped. Along towards mid
night three young fellows from La
moni came up town and reported that
Jack had stopped them in south
Leon IS they were driving in bug
gy, and was armed with a shot gun.
Officers were sent after him and
nightwatch Smith fired several shots
at him but he kept on going, but
was placed under arrest short time
later by sheriff Lorey and put in jail
to serve out his sentence. And it
may be he will be prosecuted in ad-
dition for resisting an officer and
holding up the Lamont boys.

Farmers are, we'll aware that the
hotter the day the greater the per-
spiration and the greater the perspir-
alton the greater the requirements
of drinking water. Men provide
themselves with the thirst quenching
beverage, but how about the horses?
The teams that go to the farm for a
hard days work is watered in the
morning and no matter how hot the
day may be nor how hard may be
the work required the poor animals
must wait until the noon hour for
water and then they are so nearly
famished with thirst that they rush
for the trough in frantic condition.
The afternoon has similar expert
ence. 1t is the rankest cruelty to
treat horses thus. When the wealth
er is hot and sitting and the heavy
work causes the horses to sweat
freely it is just as natural that they
require water as it is for a human
being to demand it under like condi-
tions.-Iowa Farmer.
