JACKSON KEPT HIS WORD.

One hundred years ago, after hav-
ing successfully defended Fort Bow
yer against the British attack, Gen.
Andrew Jackson was preparing to
leave Mobile to begin the invasion of
Florida, at that time Spanish terri
tory. A short time before he had
written to the authorities at Wash
ington: off the government so or
ders, 1 will rejoice at the opportunity
of placing the American eagle on the
ramparts of Mobile, Pensacola and
st. Augustine" Within another
month he had fulfilled his promise
and was back in Mobile. Almost inn
mediately he departed with his staff
for New Orleans to take charge of
the preparations that were being
made for the defense of that city
against the threatened attack by the
combined military and naval forces
of the British.

FOR THE MARKET
May be q Possibility That Supply o.
Beautiful Wood Can Be
Assured.

After the rubber industry is well
established the next venture in trop-
icaI plantations may well be the
growing Of mahogany. The market
for such a crop is assured. No other
wood has the perennial popularity Of
mahogany, no other is such delight
70 the artistic cabinetmaker. The
natural supply is decreasing while
the demand is growing greater each
day, but a cultivated supply is not
beyond the worlds reach.
A story from the British posses
sions in West Africa is of interest in
this connection. 1t seems that a
good-sized town in southern Nigeria
was destroyed about sixty years ago.
Recent visitors to the site Of this old
time city claimed to find mahogany
trees ten feet in diameter growing in
the ruins. Sixty years is too long to
wait for returns on capital, but cab
inetmakers do not need trees ten feet
through. Travellers tales are a poor
basis for exact computations, but it
seems reasonably certain that ma
hogany trees rightly handled will
grow fast enough to make their cult
vation fair investment. If this be
true, the world may escape the hor-
TOR of steel sofas and paper Morris
chairs, after all.

TOO BUSY TO LEeIsLATE.

That more than sixty per cent Of
the representatives in congress are
lawyers and only Is per cent are
business men is bewailed by our
sprightly contemporary, the Wall
Street Journal, which would like to
see this state Of affairs reversed. If
the recent depression in trade were to
be long protracted, this might be ac-
complished; but not otherwise. The
reason business men are not in con-
gress is that they don't want to be
there; they are too busy.-New York

The Commerce Reports, and in formation from other sources, go to show that many Americans are find ing it profitable to invest capital in foreign countries with view to marketing their product in the United States. The erection of dried egg plants in China is an example. The establishment of purchasing and ship ping agencies in Canada for cattle is another. Agriculture implements, placed on the free list by the Demo- crats, in an attempt to fool the farm CT, are being manufactured in Can ada with American capital and sent across the border. The farmer is not getting his farm machinery any cheaper. The American meat pack CTS operating in Argentina, are find ing good pickings in our market, now that meat is on the free list. Many other instances are at hand.

When the news came announcing the resignation of William Jennings Bryan as secretary of state few be- lieved it and many remarked: "It is to good to be true" The resignation was rendered because of a difference of opinion between president Wilson and Bryan. Bryan manufactured the "watchful waiting" policy with Mex ico and was very strenuous in his ad- vocacy of the same principle with Germany. The American people had spoken too strongly against such a supine policy and Wilson listened to them rather than to Bryan. A nation that won't fight when they are gre viously wronged cant live. America still lives.

Lieut.. Becker's case in New York is fair sample of Justice" as it is meted out in our big cities. There is no question of Becker's guilt. The people of that city pay for protection from thieves and murderers, and hire men who perpetuate the game for the big money they can make. Protec- tion of thieves and murderers seems to have come nearer the actual job of the so-called police force. If there is one thing more than another that should make the American people rise up in their wrath and smite hip and thigh, it is the using of an official office for the purpose of graft and the protection of the criminal. In other words the good folks pay for the protection of criminals, who are licensed to rob and murder because they stand in with the officers. Many a poor man has been robbed and beat en up, and because he reports it to the police in big cities, is thrown in jail to keep him from telling some one who might interrupt the earning capacity of the thug who did the work,

One of the real odd things in COT

One of the real odd things in con nection with the arduous work of tell ing the people what they want and what they can have, is the one item in the governors call relative, to the prohibition question. The people voted at the last election some thous- ands strong as to just what they wanted in the way of prohibition. The amendment to the constitution said that no alcohol of any kind could be admitted into the territory under any pretense, By a mere legislative act the legislature seems to think they can modify the constitutional amend ment and permit alcohol to be brought into the state for medical purposes also wines for sacramental purposes. This is not question of wet or dry, but a question of law. If the legis- lature can modify and change con stitutional amendment made by the people by. a mere law it is time to build a big asylum and have few more attendants appointed. We, the people, are beginning to realize our helpless pittiable condition, but we don't know what to do about it.

No great or permanent improve ment or advancement was ever made by any city without complaints, diff ferences of: opinion and like troubles. Real improvements are usually made under such circumstances. The ce- ment walks and paving projects are meeting with some few objections in details. It would be strange if they did not, but on the whole, the people generally and in large majority are for permanent improvements, a strengthening up of grades and pro- perty lines. The improvements now in progress will advance the value of all property two or three times the amount expended in improvements.
 When the work is once completed so that the people can get some idea of the wonderful changes it will make in the appearance of the town, most objections will quickly fade away and enthusiastic support take it's place.

The ranchers around Flagstaff are entitled to the highest praise and the heartiest support of the whole people. They have had faith in Northern Ari- zona and have put up good hard work, early and late to demonstrate that ranch can be made into a home; that crops can be raised in spite of half hearted failures that have gone before. They are entitled to the first and best market for their produce. Merchants should play fair and give them the advantage by not "mail ordering" them out of business.

SEDONA NOTES

Miss Lamport the capable mistress Of the Sedona school is spending her vacation with her parents in Flag staff. She was unanimously chosen by the Sedona school board to teach the school the ensuing year. School will open the first Monday in Septem- Der. 1r5C -
 Contrary to the report that all the fruit was frozen on Oak Creek all about Sedona there will be an abundance of everything except ap- ples which will be rather a light crop this year. It is not due to the frost but the trees have been bearing heav- lily for several years and seem to be taking an easy time this year.
 Some good fishing has been done since the first in the creek at this point and the season promises to be very favorable for the anglers.
 The Steamers are in the metrop- oils on business and may return any day.
 Considerable rain has fallen on the Sd and 4th which aids materially in ripening fruit.

Albuuueruue is advocating the tax

Albuquerque is advocating the tax ing of vacant lots for water the same as San Bernardino is doing. When you stop to consider it, it is reason able plan. People who are holding property for raise in price are getting all the advantages of improvements made around them and are making other people pay for the increased valuation. Why not make all pay for our splendid water system and other improvements? All the burden should not be upon those who improve and help build the city.

BANCHO'S GHOST ARIZES AGAIN

"Coconino, ,Cochise and Gila counties are also asking for certain changes in territory, and the arguments for the proposed divisions are apparently sound. Whether they are or not, so long as a law is demanded by the people interested, it is the duty of the legislature to enact such legisla- tion as will enable them to work out their own destinies. Home rule is as necessary for counties as for the states of the union" Mesa Tribune.

LIVE MERCHANTS ALWAYS AD-
 VERTISE

The enterprising and successful merchant is always liberal user of printers ink, because it pays him to be. Being possessed of brains and ability he is able to comprehend the very obvious fact that ads in the local paper bring him business and helps his town.
 Look over any town you may choose and you will find that the live, leading merchants are advertisers, benefiting their business and their town, while the parasitic drones of the town sell fishly seek to reap the benefits from the effort of their fellow-townsmen by taking everything they can grab and giving nothing in return.-Ex.

Senator Stapley's prohibition bill, if passed will make it a misdemeanor to have liquor in ones possession and also provides that it shall be confis- cated by the authorities if found. It could go little further and imprison a person who has taken a drink of liquor during the past five years, and a fine for the relatives of any such person. This law should be fixed tight while it is being fixed.

A strange condition is oftimes noted in the business world. Most advertisers realize that you can't plant onion seed one day and get your breath we'll tainted with the crop the next morning. Some who do not ad- vertise their own business are the most strenuous advocates of and firm believers in having the town they live in thoroughly advertised-they are willing to devote their share by speaking to the editor about it.
The Coconino sun., 1915-06-11

Resume of the weeks activities in the legislature: Deadlock over the amount that should be appropriated for legislative expenses-the house wants $45,0O0, the senate wants only $18,O00; the prohibition bill was killed and the house and senate are deadlocked over inviting Senators Smith and Ashurst and Congressman Hayden to address them. The week was we'll spent.

It is rather strange that southern papers will print any rumor or report about bad roads through the northern part of the state and entirely over look sand storms on the desert route, also how sand blows over the "board walk" road. If they will print facts about the north it will at least be some concession on their part.

The Tax Payers' Mapazine

The Tax Payers Magazine is ad- vocating the consolidation of the two Normal schools at Flagstaff and the abandonment of the Tucson Univer- sity, the University to be moved to Tempe. This may look like good business at this early stage of the development of the state of Arizona, but it is doubtful if it would meet with the approval of the peopple who take the future growth of the state into consideration.

The psychological condition of af- fairs down in Mexico has necessitated an appeal for substantial grub from the Red Cross society. President Wilson's note, which we hope he in- tends to pay at maturity, may bring out some physical developments. In other words a swift kick on sore foot oftimes attracts attention when mere speech is ineffective.

Clarence Swift Wright, aged 25 years, a former resident of Washing ton, Pa., was drowned at Electra, Tex, several days ago.
 He was bathing with a companion about o'clock at night and when he got beyond his depth his plight was not noticed by his friend
 Wright was in the oil business in Texas and at one time worked in the logging camps near here where he was known as "Red" Wright.
