EDITORIAL misunderstood

Some of our readers seem to have
entirely misunderstood our editorial
last week on the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution. 1t was not
amendment, it was for the purpose of
showing that the legislature, either
through ignorance or desire to soft
soap" some people, were attempting
to pass law to change the constitu-
ton, and we We're inclined to the lat
ter opinion, for it does not seem pos
sible that the legislature is so ignor-
ant that they do not know that mere
LAW passed by them can not change
the constitution.
The law would be declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court.
If the legislature were honestly en-
deavoring to modify the constitution,
they would have voted on an amend
ment to the constitution which would
require a two-thirds vote of both
houses to pass.
Knowing this we could not refrain
from saying the legislature must
think the people were "bug house" if
they accepted this law as an honest
endeavor to change the present pro-
hibition amendment. There was just
as much legality in their attempt to
change the constitution the way they
did as a person would have to get a
permit from a city marshal to shoot
the poyernor

Starved out, shot out, foot sore and
wary of the bandit, the outlawry,
looted until there is no loot left,
Mexico comes to the hated "gringo"
after imposing all sorts of indignities
upon him in thought and deed and
the measley "gringo" true to type is
now feeding him-and they should.
They may really appreciate when the
"gringo" has forgotten, but they are
hungry just now.

An auto fire truck might seem ex-
pensive for Flagstaff, but when peo-
pie in every section of the city take
into consideration the actual protec-
ton given them aside from the saw
ing they can make in fire insurance,
the investment can be figured as a
profitable one. 1t does not take many
fires to amount up loses far beyond
the cost of truck, even counting the
insurance paid. 1t should reduce fire
rates and make property owners feel
safe with less insurance.

Down in Cochise county hundreds
of dollars of the peoples money are
being spent to ascertain what can be
utalized as a beverage that can not
clearly be proven to be water. Now
that we have the initiative, referend-

'em and secure decision. Even the
carrying of jag across the Mexican
line might be settled by permanent

DAMON AND PYTHIAS MOVIE
PICTURES DRAW BIG HOUS]

The Damon and Pythias pictures at
the Majestic theatre Wednesday eve
ming drew a crowded house and the
Knights of Pythias were especially
pleased with the showing of that an
cient scene from which the order was
founded, and grown during the past
fifty years, until nearly every town
in the United States has lodge of
the order.
The pictures in themselves, even to
those not initiated into the mysteries
of the order, were entertaining,
teaching one of the great moral less
ons of life. wherein friendship is
counted more than life itself.

= There is no question in the minds
of the American people concerning
war. None want war. The average
American will walk some distance
around to avoid it. But there is no
real American mean enough and low
enough to believe that we should be
used as cats paw either by Germany
or England, except possibly our late
errand boy for secretary of state,
Bryan. His stunt would shame Ben
edict Arnold.

LOCAL HORSEMEN MEET

The Medina County Matinee Driy-
ing cub held its annual meeting last
Saturday evening, twenty members
being present. More interest was
shown on the part Of the members
than at any previous annual meeting,
and the indications are there will be
more racing this season than hereto
fore.
Several new horses will be in the
various classes and some new faces
will be seen among the drivers, which
will mean sharper competition and
closer finishes. Trainers Brooks and
Esselburn will be at the track all the
season with more than a dozen horses,
some of which will be prepared for
racing at the fairs in this part of the
state.
No prizes will be given this year,
but ribbons will be given to those fin
ishing in first, second and third po-
sitions each time a matinee is held.
At the end of the season banquet
will be held, at which time the points
won by each horse during the season
will be announced, as evidenced by
the number and color of the ribbons
won. June 5 was the date set for the
first matinee. aE

Provisions of
New Tax Measure

Following are the provisions Of the
Republican administration tax bill
which will be put through the legisla-
ture if it doesn't strike too many
sDags.
Broad powers are to be conferred
upon the county auditor, who is to
be made the county assessing Off
cial. The powers are to be practi-
cally absolute and arbitrary because
the auditor is to be held responsible
for the efficiency Of the system. The
proposed law is to become effective
Jan. /, 1916, this years assessments
to be made under the assessors ap-
pointed by the county auditor, as pro-
vided in the Better bill, which remains
to pass.
Under the committee bill theaudi-
tor, when work is heavy, may appoint
= deputy assessors in addition to those
elected in wards and townships; may
remove elected assessors for incom'
potency after hearing; fixes the mum
Der of days they are to work, and has
absolute control of their work. AS
SCISSORS are to be paid from SO to S.

commissioners with the approval O.

The boards of complaints are tC

persons to test eggs in their natural

pictures show absolutely fresh eggs,
slightly stale eggs, decidedly stale
eggs, eggs with yolks sticking to the
shell, eggs where the chicken has de-
veloped so far that blood has been
formed, moldy egg, added eggs and
eggs with green white. Generally
housewives do not know that a green
color in the white of eggs is due to

THE OLD GRAND ARMY BOYS


A valued friend Of the Sentinel and
a veteran Of the civil war has asked
us to publish the following poem and
we take pleasure in complying with
his request. The poem is very OLD
one, but contains sentiment that we
feel sure will find response in all loyaI
hearts Of those who read it:
You may talk about the Masons
And the Odd Fellows, and such:
You may call them so fraternal ~
AS to fairly beat the Dutch.
You may praise them if you choose to
With their mystic rites and noise,
But they cannot hold candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
For a man that has the money
Can learn all about the craft,
He can get degrees and pass words,
That would make funeral laugh,
And be loaded down with symbols,
But for true fraternal joys, E
They can never hold a candle
To the old Grand Army boys. .ss5@
You may talk about your badges,
But the one that has the call,
Is the star and flag and eagle, N r
That is far above them all.
It was won when cannon thundered
Mid the battles smoke and noise,
So there's nothing holds candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
Why, they fought and bled together
And they shared the prison pen,
And they faced the front in battle
With the elbow touch of men,
Then the compact was cemented,
Mid the conflicts crash and noise,
So there's nothing holds candle
To the old Grand Army boys. ''"
They fraternal? Well, I reckon,
And their charity's all right.
Are they loyal? They have proved il
For they left their homes to fight,
And the nation owes them homage
For the peace it now enjoys,
For there's nothing holds candle =
To the old Grand Army boys. 49,

BIG TRADE IN WAR SUPPLIES


One billion dollars is conservative
estimate of the value of the trade in
arms, ammunition and war supplies
between the allies of Europe and the
manufacturers in the United States
during the first year of the war. 1t
has not been possible. for American
manufacturers to furnish war supplies
to Germany because of the Interrupt
ton of trade relations with that coun-
try.
During the past six months the
allies have bought from the UniteC
States $4OO,000,O0O worth of war sup
plies. Many of the manufacturers il
the United States hold contracts will
the British, French and Russian gov
ernments which have at least min
months and in some instances tw
years longer to run.
So enormous has the trade in wa
supplies grown that the government

nit the incorrectness of their figure
7 Those in charge of the domestic con
