HOOKING BACKWARD"

When Woodrow Wilson assumed the office of President of the United States in 1913, there were 205 crews employed in the freight service on one division of a great trunk line railroad.
 During the sixteen months imme- diately following Mir. Wilson's in- auguration this number dwindled to 20 crews, with tn youngest conductor in fast freight service in point of seniority a man 52 years with the corporation.
 On nearly every railroad in the country, ten months after the dem ocratic party had come into power at Washington, and six months previous to the outbreak of the war, enginemen with ten and more years continuous service to their credit, were reduced to fremen, many conductors to train men, with thousands upon thousands of railroad employees in every branch of the service without any employ ment whatever.
 On June 1, 1914, there were 242,572 idle freight cars in the United States, as against 63,704 on July 1, 1913.

POPULAR MUSICAL COMEDY
 AT 0RphEUM SUNDAY

Manager Barncord vf the Orpheum has secured one of the fastest New York musical comedy hits for ma tinee and evening show at the Or pheum on Sunday October 29th, which he believes will please the popular fancy of the people of Flagstaff.
 "The Girl from the U. s. A." with Miss Dorothy Russell in the lead, un- der the management of Wm. Wam- sher, with eighteen people in the cast and chorus. The company carries their own scenery, all of which can be used on the big and fully equipped Orpheum stage, and, there is no bet ter arranged and equipped theatre building in the Southwest for it's size.
 The special scenery with electrical effects will be something new here, in- cluding the singing and dancing chor- us of pretty girls; the kind of a mu- sical comedy that while it amuses does not offend.
 Manager Barncord is certain that he has secured a real musical comedy treat for the people, with the proper stage affects to go with it and com- pany of people with reputation suf- ficient to draw the people to witness the high class show.

in one year. We like to hunt, but we also want our children and grand children to be able to have the pleas ure of hunting in years to come, something besides jackrabbits and prairie dogs! We believe in adequate protection in Arizona for the rem nants of our once plentiful supply of game For these reasons we are con- vinced that the proposed amendment to the fish and game laws, to be voted on at this coming election, is a distinct necessity if we are to have any game at all.
 Before taking up each of the points which were used by you as an argu- ment against the proposed amend ment we will give the Arizona Sprots- mems Association a reasonable length of time to answer the questions asked above. Respectfully yours,

Since a number of railroad mag mates are coming out for Wilson a good many of the thinking railroad employees have commenced to wonder just how big batch of bunc they were handed by the so-called eight hour law, and just what they will get after the election. The law, you know, was dated to go into affect after the election.
 Out West, where wheat brings a high price, Democratic orators assert that it is due to the policies of the Wilson administration. Down East, where flour has scared in cost, Dem- ocratic orators explain that it is due to the war in Europe.

OUR MOST WONDERFUL
 CONSTITUTION

As result of our superfine, hair splitting election laws, a peculiar situ- ation arises down in Greenlee county. Sheriff Cash, who is the present dem ocratic sheriff, ran in the democratic primaries and was defeated for the nomination. He then files an inde- pendent petition and the supervisors refuse to have his name printed on the ticket because he failed to get the required number of electors "as re- quired by law" to sign his petition.
 And, the question is, under the pre- sent grand gathering of "whens, hows and wherefores" under the law, can a man be democrat in the primaries and be a Independent" after the primaries are over!
 Another beautiful thing that can and may happen, under "our especial ly contrived election system" is the passage of both the prohibition and local option amendments,
 So far as the Sun is concerned, ii can be made "wet, dry or bonfire" But tho people should be given req sonable law in order that they may be able to vote for the thing they want or against the things they do not want.
 Under present conditions there is no officer in the state who really is sure of what the law is except the attorney general and he is only sure until the supreme court gets whack at it.
 It is possible to pass the local op- ton amendment and at the same time vote in the "dry" amendment, Then "God bless our happy home" we have "law' to please every one. Few if any states are so happily situated that it can have in such large varie- tv.

AN OPEN LETTER 10 THE ARIZONA Sp0RTSMEn
 ASSOCIATION

Flagstaff, Arizona, October 26, 1916 The Arizona Sportsmen's Association, MT. H. P. DeMund, President,
 Tucson, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 During the latter part of July, your association gave through the press of the State of Arizona certain adverse information in connection with a pro- posed amendment to the existing game and fish laws of the state which will be voted on at the coming cleo tion. Inasmuch as this information was read throughout the state, the Northern Arizona Game Protective Association believes it is only fair that this matter be presented in it's light since the reasons you gave against the amendment were abso- lutely fallacious.
 Since this information came from an organization purporting to be The Arizona Sportsmen's Association, we believe it is only fair that the voters of this state should know how you are and what you stand for.
 First of all, we would like to in- quire just what is the Arizona Sportsmen's Association What are its objects? Who are its officers? Where do its members reside? We invite our opponents to publish list of their names, addresses and occupa- tions We would like to know whence the term "Arizona?"
 We are interested in knowing whether it exists to PROTECT SPORTSMEN or to PROTECT GAME. How long has it existed and along what lines have it's activities been directed? The foregoing in- formation as to our Association has already been published in the papers, but further consideration of the matter in hand should, we think, be based on a mutual understanding of intents and purposes.
 According to the Arizona" Asso- citation, the sportsmen of Arizona are the ONLY ones directly interested in the enactment or the enforcement of game laws. We most emphatically disagree with this proposition. The game belongs to the PUBLIC as a whole, and the public has right to hold the sportsmen of the entire state responsible for its use and perpetua- ton.
 The Northern Arizona Game Pro- tective Association is absolutely in favor of legalizing hunting. We do not believe in killing off all our game
