The good roads bond election
for Coconino county held last
week resulted in the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the bonds. The
voters were wise in their work.
Why should the people in these
sparsely settled northern counties
bond themselves for thousands
Of dollars to build highways for
tourists to travel over. Navajo
county will have a bond issue
coming up next month, and IT
the voters are as wise as the
Coconino county people they will
be overwhelmingly defeated.
Good roads bond issues are de-
veloping into a new graft pro-
position for the benefit of q few
individuals on the inside, and
this fact is becoming so apparent
that the taxpayer to be on the
safe side votes against them.

and why should one be disfran-
chised from voting, because he
has been chosen as a presiding
officer, except in cases of a tie.
The law requires a majority vote,
or four votes to pass any measure
before city council, and with
only six councilmen, with the
presiding officer barred,from vot-
ing except in tie cases, it in
effect makes a two-thirds vote
necessary to pass a measure.
Mayor Bly, has always contended
he was entitled to a vote in the
council, as he was elected the
same as the other councilmen,
and we are inclined to believe his
position is correct.

The eastern papers are report
ing that the favorite sons, candi-
dates for the republican nomina-
tion for the presidency, have
pooled their claims under the
guidance of the old guard for the
purpose of trying to head off the
Roosevelt boom. The scheme
is one Of elimination as the bal
loting proceeds, the low man
dropping out on each succeeding
ballot until the final test. No
one who has followed the history
of previous campaign had any
doubt these same tactics swould
be followed this year. That is
the reason the favorite sons are
brought out, not that they have
any hope of winning, but as a
guise to turn the control of the
delegates over to political monte
banks. We suggest at this time
to the Arizona delegation that
they keep themselves free from
the power and influence of polit-
ical stock jobbers, and preserve
their self-respect and dignity by
keeping constantly before their
minds what is best for Arizona
not what suits party bosses.
Arizona republicans are interest
ed only in the nomination Of a
strong man as a leader, and not
the least interested in raking
chestnuts for any set of men
whose only ambition is to control
the party. Our delegates are
servants of the party, not it's
bosses, and their mission re-
quires courage and diplomacy,
never subserviency to political
pirates.

From Holbrook, the seat of all
political news, comes the informa-
tion that the democrats down
there are discussing the PROPOSE
tion of running Mayor Bly, for
the legislature. If this report is
true, and Mr.. Bly, can be prevail
ed to stand for the office, the re-
publicans will have a mighty
hard job finding a man who can
beat him. The meanest thing
we know about Bly, is his politics,
and we have always had hopes
he would reform. With a man
of his character in the legisla-
ture the question of his politics
is a minor matter, but the people
could rest satisfied nobody had
any strings on him, and he would
be his own boss or quit the job
and come home. If the whole
legislature could be made up with
men like Bly, we would have no
more Of the disgraceful proceed
ings that have marked former
sessions.

The attorney general of New
Mexico has given out an opinion
that the mayor of a city has no
right to cast a deciding vote in a
council meeting as he is not a
member under the laws of New
Mexico. If that is true, then in
Arizona in cities of our class,
where the people elect seven
councilmen, and from this seven
the council select the mayor or
presiding officer, all seven are
entitled to a vote on al questions
coming before the council. The
people elect seven councilmen,

Just A Thought.

y
the orations they deliver solving
all the knotty problems confront
ing the country and it's best
craftsmanship; but these pleas
antries are harmless filings with
no thought of irony, nor lack of
appreciation of the hopes and
ambitions Of the young people
who are soon to take their place
in the ranks of the world S work
ers. The older heads know that
all too soon the young people will
drop from the heights of a high
school ambition to the level
where true manhood and woman
hood begins to build substantial
ly for the future, which will open
before themain all it's seriousness
as soon as the perfume Of the
flowers fade away, and the con-
gratulations of admiring relatives
and friends pass as a dream of
a night.
1t is not strange that young
people at commencement should
have exalted ideas for the fu-
ture. For four years in the high
school they had the encourage
ment of a corps of able teachers
urging them on to goals of ambi-
tion pleasing to their fancy, as
child is taught to walk by hold
ing out before it a bauble just
beyond it's reach; then the min
lister in an eloquent baccalaure-
ate, leads them along paths
strewn with garlands Of rhetoric
to the gates of opportunity which
he throws wide open to them as
their field of endeavor, where
failure never enters, and success
is idling by the roadside waiting
to be embraced. The cap-sheaf
comes commencement day, with
the hall brilliant in the class
colors, the pretentious class mot
to emblazoned across the stage,
the profusion of exotics with
their sensuous perfume, the in
spring music, the sea of faces
a setting to stir the heart and
fire the ul-the class address
by the finished orator with his
word painting to intoxicate, his
logic to fire the spirit, and his
eloquence to electrify ambition.
Then comes the dawn ola new
day. Teachers are gone, the elo-
Quence and music are stilled, the
roses and decorations are wither-
ed and limp. The outlook loses
the rosy hue and brilliancy of
yesterday, and the glittering de-
ception of the school day vision
is rudely dispelled. The battle
is on. Soldiers go bravely into
battle to the music of the fife
and drum, and waving flags, but
the real soldier is the one who
fights on in the still watches of
the night the enemy he cannot
see, with no artificial encourage
ment to sustain him-his is the
fiber of the hero. We love and
admire the young graduates for
their perseverance in school that
has led them to this happy hour.
but we tremble for their future
if they sit down content with the
honors won. Success is elusive
as a shadow, and honors are won
only by hard work and close ap-
plication, discouraging and dis
hear5ening at times, and many
there are who fail. All cannot
win fame and renown, but all
have it in their power to grow
into honored and respected citi-
zens of the community, and build
for themselves pure and virtuous
Christian characters that will
shine out to the world. This is
the real success of life-honors
are a feeting f1attery to a vanity
that never satisfies.
