Goyernment .sd the Citizen

Government is not thing that runs itself. It is based on somebody's work and sacrifice. If the people who manage the government are ready to take heavy share of the work and sacrifice, the government is generally good; if their main hope is to impose it on somebody else, the government is generally bad. This principle is just as true of a democracy as of any other form of government. The body of voters must be ready to work and fight, and if necessary be killed, for the sake of the body polite; otherwise the whole social structure will deterio- rate and fall to pieces.-President Handley of Yale, in The Youths Com panion.

RECORD BREAKING BUNCH
 OF NORTHERN BRED LAMBS

W. F. Purcell turned out a record bunch of lambs from his ranch south of Holbrook last week, according to S. Izuel, the California sheep buyer, who returned from there the latter part of last week, where he had been to accept them for shipment. MT. Izuel says that from 1000 head he accepted $500 fat, an average better than S0qo, which, considering the total number to be selected from, breaks the record for Northern Arizona.
 The fat lambs brought 5000 per head and those cut back $500 per heda, or an average of $5.80 per head for the total 1000 head of lambs. That Purcell is mighty we'll pleased with the result of his lamb sales so far goes without question.
 Izuel was in Holbrook Monday again to ship out thirteen more cars of the lambs.

INDIANS WERE FIRST -'
 WOMAN sUFFRAGISTs

Washington, September 2O.-To the American Indian belongs the credit for the idea of woman suffrage, as- serts Red Fox James (Skiu-Hu-SRu) l, of the Blackfeet Indians, in letter to Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. "
 Red Fox James will be remembered as the brave who year or SO ago rode all the way from Montana to the White House, more than 4,00O miles, on. horseback, bringing with him en- dorsements from the governors of twenty-four states in favor of having one day of the year set apart as American Indian Day."
 "In the early days, before the white-man came," says Red Fox in his letter, "the Indian women had equal voice in the Council, and even was elected chieftain: so you see this real American idea originated from the Indians before white-women have taken it up."
 Red Fox declares that he is "always truely in sympathy with the womer as. concern voice in the ballot of tht country. Truely I regret to say I dc

Compulsory servlce on the part of the voting population must be incul- cated in our educational system and made part of our social order, if dem ocracy is to be safe.

Professor Lounsbury of Male is a foe to the purist and pedant.
 On his summer holiday the profes- sor gazed out across the lake on gray sultry afternoon and remarked:
