PROJECTION FEAT

One of the most remarkable pro-

making was performed by the Keine

80 amperes of direct current.

ALMOST OVER BORDERLAND

James Logic, who predominates over the Douglas Dispatch, oftimes gets in the right road even if he does Borderland considerable. Speaking of tourists getting all the benefit of good roads and automobilists being responsible for it all, says:
 It it said by some that the automo- bile is responsible for this, and that the tourist benefits greatly. Let that be granted, it must be admitted that he is not benefited as are the property owners in the sections affected, as he has no property abutting on the high way to be increased in value, and uses the road perhaps but once in life time, while the residents use it daily. Where road work is properly carried on, every one is benefited, and the more built under such conditions the better for the country.

USE CANNED EDITORIALS

The Jackson lFa.) Progress-Argus, speaking of ready prints in recent issue, says as follows:
 The Alpharetta Free Press and Monroe Advertiser are after the fel- lows who buy their editorials by the yard. Sick 'em boys; we are with you. And, having finished with that evil, lets shame the patent sheet fel- lows out of business Patent insides are the great drawback to the weekly newspaper business. They stifle fore ign advertising and hold the paper up to ridicuie. What the average reader wants is the local news arranged in attractive form, with complete change of dress each week. The pat ent inside is sign of laziness or igno- rance. That's putting it strong, but it's the truth"

. FLAGSTAFF ATTRACTING AT
 IENTIDN

Flagstaff has at last attained a good healthy stride as a coming city of importance, and one that will grow more rapidly each year. The last years Improvements, development and sturdy growth has convinced even the most skeptical that Flagstaff has a splendid future before it and one that can not be held back by any ordinary condition of affairs. Even those who were prone to smile and te sarcastic at The Suns boosting for Flagstaff, nave at last begin to see light and are falling into line. There seems to be a more whole hearted effort now all along the line, people are convinced that it is going to be the summer resort of the Southwest; property is going to be worth more and more every year, there can be no deserted village" period here, it will be city of homes. It has every pos sible advantage in the way of summer SLlildlC, lillcitSblllS things lO sGt, places to occupy the time and atten- tion of visitors who come-many that will ever afterwards call it home.
 This summer has proven more con- clusively than ever that thousands are searching for just such place to spend the summer months, the feeling has gained big emputus this year and every succeeding year will fol- low with a greater increase.
 When rank strangers can see won derful opportunities here and are talk ing advantage of them rapidly, there is no reason for the local grouch to have much apprehension except that his ability may be below par.
 The general feeling among the peo- pie, even during the present slow times, is evidence that all is we'll with Flagstaff and that it will be the beau tiful city of the great north in but a few years to come.

Every man, woman or child in the world has his or her prejudices. It is indeed a poor citizen who does not have preference for his own country. When you are adopted by country it should be yours against all nations, if not,such individuals should be given a quick opportunity to get back to the country they came from. Sympathies may naturally extend where they will as between other nations, but not when "our" country is involved. If America didn't suit me I'd find a country that did at once and go to it.

THEN AND NOW

Before yon highway gleamed streak Of light, before the gaze of man, And boulder ridden paths antique Mark'd country highways weary span, It was then that those who chose to
 travl
 By team and schoon'r clonk'd thru
 mud or gravl.
 That and nothing more. It was then that our little town, Received by dint and chance, its share And more of trade and revenues down Cash for every need, l declare, They paused to buy this and that Their hardships en route to combat.
 That and nothing more. But since the straight and narrow way Is built from shore to shore and, yes From city to city a streak of grey Proclaims that great highways possess The land. By night streak of light Day brings stink of gas in flight
 That and nothing more. The auto people come and go With lightning speed they fly Seldom ever pause or go slow Unless some gasoline to buy Or perhaps to borrow a wrench Else beyond camp ground to cinch
 That and nothing more.

As one contribution toward the full tillment of the Democratic promise to reduce the high cost of living, the Bureau of Mines announces that it can now produce radium for only $36, O5O per gram. This will enable the imporrished spectators in"war order" securities to have radium on their tables at least once day, and will be of tremendous encouragement to workers in other enterprises who are now on reduced time, lower wages or laid off altogether.

Douglas has a public fly trap which is placed in a fly breading vicinity where flies are killed by the bushel. The Douglas International says: "The Curry fly trap has caught bushels and we believe the city should provide more of them for use in every fly breeding vicinity" Our city council has come to the front right rapidly during the last year on needed inn provements, but they might look into this new public fly killer"

The Democrats seem to have econ omy down to a fine point in the post office department. They reduced en- ormously the number of holes in a sheet of stamps-actually saved over five holes per stamp! That annoy ance and loss result from the difficulty of separating stamps and the occas- ional tearing of them, is a matter of no consequence to the department. The ultimate consumer must stand that, as he does the "war" tax

The Southwestern Democrat is a new ' column four paged weekly can didate for state wide journalistic hon. ors printed at Phoenix. The paper is edited by J. w. Martin and promises a pure unadulterated brand of demo- cracy. Geographically it is very neat production and is filled with state news of intrest. The state wide week. ly proposition seems to have gathered much momentum at Phoenix. AS a matter of fact an all home print weekly containing actual news of in- terest, is of much more value than a puny, padded daily rehash of what the king of Siam said concerning Villas method of cooking frijolies.

The state tax levy was increased this year to 54 cents, an increase of nine and one half cents over last year. In the face of an increased valuation of $11 ,OOO, ,OO0 on mines alone, it looks as though state government under existing conditions was some luxury but the people seem to want it. The total amount to be raised this year is 2,265, ,723.25, an increase of S454 ,573

GETTING WORMY ON THE
 3RD ACT OF GEORGE, THE w.

The granting of a stay of execution in the cases of the four condemned murderers at Florence can at the best be only temporary. Beyond doubt the Supreme Court of the state will reverse the decision of Judge McAlli- ster made at Florence last week and the defendants be re-sentenced to be hung at future date. But, we note that within the last week, sufficient signers have been secured to an in itiative petition proposing law on the ballot at the next election, Nov. 1916, abolishing capital punishment, notwithstanding this proposition was overwhelmingly defeated at the last election. Unless we mistake not the stage is being set for the third act in the farcial production at Florence. We expect to see the Governor and the Warden at the last minute defy the mandates of the court and set aside the capital punishment law en- dorsed by a majority of the people of this state. In the event that this prognostication should come to pass there will be another election in this state, prior to November, 1916, and G. w. P. Hunts name will appear on that ticket. Even the worm will turn at last-Clifton Copper Era.

WASTING MONEY ON NEWS

It's really too bad about the sub scriber who wrote to the Campbells- vile (ky.) News-Journal the follow ing letter:
 Please send me few copies of the paper containing the obituary of my aunt. Also publish the enclosed clip ping of the marriage of my niece, who lieves in Lebanon. And 1 wish you would mention in your local column, if it does not cost anything, that have two bull calves for sale. As my sub scription is out, please stop my paper.

From some unknown reason some auto drivers seem to think they are not attracting enough attention un- less their machines are making enough noise and smoke to awaken the dead. There may be city ordin- ance against running autos or motor- cycles without mufiiers. If there isn't an iron clad ordinance should be pass ed to discourage that class of fires possibilities.

Theodore Douglas Robinso

Theodore Douglas Robinson, once chairman of the Progressive State Committee, of New York, and always nephew of the Colonel, advised all Progressives in New York State to enroll with the Republicans this year upon the ground that the advanced principles which they espouse "can best be carried forward through the medium of the Republican party" This is sound common sense. It has already been put into practice by most Progressives and in 1916 there will be no Republican division which will again put a minority party in control of national affairs.
