PHILADELPHIA Evening Ledger.

The brief statement issued by
President Wilson. In declaring him
self for woman suffrage is docu-
ment Of surprising interest. II Is
the most definite word given by
President of the United states since
Lincoln's famous diCtum. 1t Is clear
and forceful and final.
The President speaks not az CHIEF
Executive Of the nation nor as head
OF his party. He has maintained.
with sobeE reason. that suffrage
should be neither a national nor a
party issue. But the prestige of his
position cannot be separated from
his acts.
There Is no fanaticism in the Pres
ident's reasoning. There Is even
lack of enthusiasm. The President
speaks purely as believer in de-
macracy when he says mat MS
state will be greatly benefited by
the change. He speaks as one who
knows the essential truths and the
tremendous, the glorious dlflculties
of democracy. when he speaks or
suffrage as that privilege and re-
sponslbility."- ,,.
Because without responsibility
privilege becomes license. without
privilege responsibility becomes
tyranny. The President has put the
whole argument for Suffrage INTO
his pregnant phrase.

President Wilson has openly de-
clared himself IN favor of woman
suffrage. He aa?s that be will ex-
press his conviction by voting, not
as party leader but as private citizen
for the amendment of the New Jer-
sey constitution. He believes that
the issue is one for State-by-State
determination. and his contemplated
action squares with his opinion that

privilege and responsibility to the
women OF the State" The Presi-

Field Notes from the Office of the
 County Engineer

The engineer has been in the southern part of the county for the past two weeks attending to road matters in that vicinity.
 A section of road adjoining Lakeside has been crowned and surfaced with heavy rock base and gravel surface. This was the worst place on the Holbrook- to-Fort Apache road.
 Most of the roads in that part of the county are in fair to good condition. It goes without say ing that the Scott Flat" is the worst.
 The heavy rains have made the Shumway- to- Show Low road soft, although this piece was never Tn better condition than before the rains.
 The Show Low bridge has re- ceived a new floor.
 The Taylor bridge has had temporary repairs made on the floor. Bids for an entirely new floor will be published in the near future.
 The recent rains cut out three bridges between HoIbrook and Snowflake but all were almost immediately repaired and placed in good condition.
 Bids for the construction of roadway at Mine Mile" and near the ''Cedars" will be called for soon.
 The salvage of the four wreck ed spans of the bridges on the Little Colorado is nearly compile ted.

New Bank President Chosen

An important change in the
 management of the Navajo Apa-
 che Bank & Trust Co.,, of Wins
 low. HoIbrook and St. Johns,
 took place Thursday when Henry
 Tuning. who has been a heavy
 stockholder in the institution
 since its establishment fifteen
 years ago as the old Navajo
 County Bank at Winslow only, purchased the entire holdings of w. H. Burbage, who has been president of the bank since it was started. Mir. Tuning was elected president of the institu- tion and will take active charge of the business. MT. Burbage has been intending to retire for the past year. although it was not known except to immediate friends. He expects to remain in Winslow for some time to take care of his law practice. insur- ance and real estate business.
 Mr. Tuning needs no introduc- tion to the old timers of this county, he having been one of the pioneers of Navajo County, living at Showlow for a number of years. After accommodating a i fortune he has resided in Santa Barbara. California. for the past few years, coming to Arizona and New Mexico occasionally to look after his business interests which he had retained. Mir. Hun ing, while along in years, is still | 3 very active man, and recently | having had the misfortune of | losing his wife, he had been looking for something active to do. which resulted in his pur- chasing Mir. Burbage's holdings.
 The Navajo-Apache Bank has had a wonderful growth since it's start fifteen years ago, and las been one of the strongest in- tending to the upbuiId- ng of the county. which fact s shown by Mr. Huning's addi- .ional investment. No doubt his wealth and standing will tend to increase the business of the bank, and the old timers especi- lily will welcome MT. Tuning pack into the more active busi less affairs of the county. We understand that the other officers # the bank will remain the anne.

 A wash on the State road eight miles west of Holbrook tied up travel for two days, but the county is now repaving it.
 Repairs on the Heber to Plea sant Valley road are completed and people in that section are gratiied.
 The La Roux wash has again been on a rampage and destroy ed the roadway between Hol- brook and St. Joseph. It is now in passable condition.
 The Snowflake wash has re- ceived another coating of chips. In reply to many queries. this office can procure no authoritive statement from the State as to when work will begin on the bridge three miles east of Hol- brook.
 The road fund is in excellent condition and notwithstanding the unprecedented calls upon iti for bridges and repairs perman- ent work has been accomplished.

Asked by News re- porter why he did not take de- putty, Sheriff Newman replied that he needed none. He had captured the two horse thieves. armed and on the watch for him. without assistance and he felt competent to take them to Flor ence when unarmed and mana cled. Besides he did not care to put the county to the extra ex- pense af sending a deputy.
