1t is a mistaken argument and
not productive of good results,
nor the harmony so essential to a
clty's welfare, in discussing the
school bond issue to declare they
will force the issue on the Santa
Fe. We don't know that the
railroad is opposed to the bond
issue, as they usually take an in
terest in anything that will be
beneficial to their employees and
their families, but street corner
talk about choking the bond is
sue down their throats simply
stlrs up antagonism and may en-
danger the success of the pro
Ject. Diplomacy and good fell
lowship beats threats for accom-
plishing ends, and if the bonds
are defeated it can be charged
to the street corner statesman
who don't pay any taxes, and is
going to force something.

Judge Lockwood, Of Tomb
stone, has got The correct idea on
naturalization of foreign born
citizens. About seventy candi-
dates appeared before him last
week, and before administering
the oath he gave them a short
talk in which he made it plain
that this country don't want hy-
phenated American citizens, who
are divided in their loyalty. We
want only such who intend to
become American citizens and
forever renounce their native
land. He explained that was
what the oath meant and if
they violated it they could be
prosecuted.

A trusted employe of the Lo!

A trusted employe Of the Los
Angeles Investment Co. is now
in the tolls Of the law, having
confessed to embezzling nearly
SIS, 600. When asked why he
committed the crime he said he
wanted things he was not able to
earn the money to buy-the an
swer Of a weakling, who should
never have been placed in a DO
sition Of trust and responsibility.
How many other men in places
of trust hold to this mistaken
philosophy Of life? 1t always
orings disgrace to the individual,
his family and friends, as his sin
will find him out sooner or later.
To this man life meant only a
mad whirl in aping society's silly
fads and frivolous designations;
satisfying a craving for all the
|eXtraVagances prompted by a
corrupted and feeble mind; a
glittering display of apparent
wealth and affluence to win him
place and position in the ranks
of a sporting life of shallow emp
ty society. What a strange, dis
torted idea of life; and how many
young men and women are grow
ing up around us all holding to
these tenets? Life meaning moth
ing but a continual round of ex-
citing and Intoxicating pleasures
theatres, dances, joy-riding
risque parties, and midnight sup
pers and wine. 1t is not surpris-
ing that men are embezzlers and
maidenIy modesty and virtue is
fast losing it's halo. The swift
life that surely runs to a fall,
where men lose honor, and Wo-
men sacrifice their virtue, is the
midnight suppers at cafes. The
insidious facination grows, and
the bright lights and conviviality
leads step by step from one indis-
cretion to another until the SEN
sibilities of honor and virtue are
hardened then comes the mis-
step and disgrace. If this is all
of life, the Sermon on the Mount
is senseless idle platitudes; the
martyrs to the Christian religion
died ingloriously; and the les
sons learned at the mothers
knee of a pure and exalted life
are merest fables. We should be
thankful that such a mistaken
philosophy Of life is only held by
a very few people, whose shallow
minds are incapable of grasping
the great problems that develope
true manhood and Womanhood.

We ask our readers to study
the article on the gymasium-au-
ditorium, written by one of the
young lady students. There are
probably scores of other students
who could prepare equally as
strong a paper. Winslow ought
to be proud of her young people,
and give them at least the equal,
if not superior, advantages Of
Other towns in the state.

The Prescott Courier says they
have a citizen in their city who
is afflicted with kidney trouble,
and the only way he could get
relief was to drink gin, and now
he can get no gin and is in great
pain. Tell him to eat Juniper
berries and take liberal doses of
olive oil and he will find abun-
dant relief. We trust we are not
violating the medical law in
prescribing for the sick.

Some Flagstaff citizens think
they have too many church
denominations there, and have
proposed consolidating all the
protestants under one big tent tc
be known as the federated

in that town who can work out
such a scheme successfully, they
should be made known to Presid-
ent Wilson, as he needs men OF
that calibre to help him bring

Not only the Catholics of the
Pacific coast, but members of all
Christian denominations will
learn with regret Of the sudden
death of Bishop Conaty, of Los
Angeles. He was we'll beloved
by all for his many sterling
qualities and kindness of heart,
and his two strong cardinal
virtues was his devotion to his
church, and loyalty to our
country. He lived to see his
diocese develope from strug-
Cling organization into one of the
strongest and greatest in the
United States, largely due to his
zeal and untiring labors. The
Church has lost a piller of
strength, and it mourns it's loss.

Rev. Dwight Newell Hills, the
eminent New York divine, is
sadly involved in unfortunate
financial speculations, and has
lost a fortune accumulated in the
ministry and platform lectures.
The worldly spirit of money-get-
ting attacked the minister, whose
mind and training should have
led him to higher and nobler
things, and the wreck is now
tumbling about his head. 1t is
to be regretted such a brilliant
minister would be tempted to
turn away from the true God,
and take up with the money
changers in the temple worship
ping golden idols. Is the
country all going money-mad?
Is it surprising there is a grow
ing sentiment that the Christian
religion is losing it's hold on the
people?

At the time of the war there was
practically no American shipping 60
ing to Rio. In 1912 just eighteen ves-
sells carrying our flag called at that
port. Eleven of those were steamers
and the most of them yachts or tugs.
One tug was on its way from Cristo-
nal. taking three coal barges by way
OF the Strait of Magellan to Ancon at
the western end. Another was a yacht
that had been made in New England,
and was on its way to San Francisco
and the Arctic ocean. Its owner was
north to hunt. That yacht came into
Rio for repairs only.
The other vessels Of 1912 were sail
ers. There were seven of them. In
1913 sherp were seven freight steamers
and two sailing vessels OF the seven
steamers, three belonged to the United
States Steel trust. They were ships of
making the trip in twenty days. 1t

$600.000.000 per annum. 1t was in 1909

one Brazilian is worth fifteen times as
much as one Chinaman: and when Bra

three to nine billion dollars a year.
There is no doubt but that Brazil could
support more people than China. and
also that it will some time have popu-

shows some of the possibilities of
trade that Is open to us.

We need her rubber and we are the

goods of Brazil as any other foreign

-oR the first time in history the
IT, United States has a fair chance
1T at the trade of Brazil. Until
q now the English, French and
Germans have been combining against
u.s. They have prevented the estab-
lishment Of American steamship lines
to South America by giving rebates and
preferential rates, and have done all
they could to keep out American banks
and American capital. Now their hands
are tied by the great war in Europe.
The Europeans have money to borrow
instead Of to lend and the great South
American loans proposed prior to the
outbreak of the trouble have been
practically Cancelled. One, of these
amounted to more than s125.0o0.00o. 1t
was to have been given by the Roths-
childs. and both the government and
the business men of Brazil depended
upon it. The prospect of other loans
from France and Germany departed
with the declaration of war. and as a
result Brazil is having some of the
hardest times of her history. In the
past she has been depending for out
side aid to the extent of 30 per cent
Of her financial requirements. and her
resources are SO enormous and her poss
sibilities SO. great that she has mad no
trouble In borrowing. Today she mas
70 look TO this hemisphere for the most
Of her supplies. and she will gladly well
