NOMINEE DECLARES U NITED
STATES CANNOT AFFORD TO
LOSE SIGHT OF NATIONAL
OBLIGATION, 49,.
deficiency IN EVERY
Department IS NEEDED''
Argument for Protective Tariff, Com.
merciaI Preparation for Competi.
tlon With Europe After the War 49,
and Adequate Preparedness, 10
Reiterated in Portland.

Portland, Ore, Aug. H. Charles
r. Hughes, before large audience in
the ice rink here, assailed the Demo-
cratic party for it's policy toward the
Philippines.
1--WE can not afford i'm this country
to lose sight Of national obligations"
Mr.. Hughes said. "Our friends on. the
other side were almost ready to say
that we should abandon the Philip.
pines. That was matter Of national
honor. We assumed obligations there.
which we are bound to discharge.
1T is not much a matter of seH-in.
terest. But when this nation un-
dertakes before the world RESPONSE
bility, it must discharge it.
Need Sense of Obligation.
"And we ought not to consider the
suggestion of scuttling out of the
Philippines to leave them in the pre-,
dicament which you know perfectly
we'll without my describing it.
I'VE need more Of a sense of obi
cation, as individuals. If we have the
sense of national honor, a dominant
consciousness of national unity, a pro-
per upbuilding policy of conserving
the opportunities of American enter
prise, we shall do we'll, but we need
still more. We need throughout our
administrative departments high
standards of public work. We need
efficiency in every department of
American government"
For Protective Tariff.
The nominee reiterated his argu,
ments for a protective tariff, for COM
mercial preparation for competition
with Europe after the war, for "rea-
sonable, adequate preparedness" and
repeated his declaration that the Dem
ocratic party was opposed to national
progress.
"Why, if were a member Of that
party-and l speak with all good ma
ture, because we are threshing things
out here now-and looked through the
platform of the past, should feel that
! was going through cemetery rich
ly embellished with monuments"

FISH FOR AR|z0NANS

In another place in this issue of the News appears the announce ment of the annual distribution of fish to individuals by the Bureau of Fisheries. This means Arizon- ans as well as others. Now there are great many tanks in Arizona, large and small, and everyone capable of supporting fish should be stocked. In construction of tanks this thot should be in mind. How may the volume of stored water be such that it will provide a lasting home for fish. If necess. ary, go to a little more expense aud make fish pound.
 Those who have already, ponds which may be usei for propagat- ing and growing fish, should take advantage of this opportunity to stock them.

NEITHER BONDS NOR
 SPECIAL TAX REQUIRED

Williams people especially Will Hams tax payers will be rejoic- ed to learn that the proposed add ition to the school building will require neither bonds nor special tax,
 There is. fortunately, fund on hand of $2, GOO which is available for the new school building. A little later money will come from the Forest Service, derived from timber sales. The Williams State Bank will furnish all necessary funds for the short period before the Forest Service money is avail able.
 The school board has been in something of a quandary just what to do to secure more school room, but they have now decid ed to add to the present building and not buy another building as has been contemplated.
 It is the inter ton of the school board to have the addition ready for occupancy by the beginning oi the new school year.

WILLIAMS HOME
 GUARD ORGANIZED

At public meeting of Williams citizens held in the city hall last Monday night steps were taken to organize Home Guard. The Supervisors of Coconino County have offered to furnish equipment for such an organization.
 A result of the meeting was a committee of three, T. F, Maddoek. Geo. McDougall and Chas. Button, on organization. This committee will select those really fit for Home Guard membership, provide officers and start the driliing so necessary for the efficient coordination of guard members.
 A committee of ten was also pro- yided for, five to be Americans and five to be Mexicans, whose duty will be to establish and maintain a friendly feeling between the Amer jeans and Mexicans of Williams. It was realized by all present at the meeting that the interests of both American and Mexican in Williams are identical It Is ia the interest of all that law shall be respected and that order shall obtain. The only danger to be feared is that some irresponsible person, either American or Mexican, shall thru some rash act precipitate a clash. This clash might be between Amer jeans as |. the result of factional spirit or it might be between Amer jeans and Mexieans as the result of race prejudice, but whatever the cause, it was felt by the meeting that there should be & semi-mill- tary organization to take care of it in the interest of law and order and the general good.
 iss The five Americans appointed on the committee of cancellation are T. :. Maddock, Bobby Burns, R. A. ySickerson, F. M. Gold and Geo. MeDougall. The Mexican mem bers will be Jesus Quijada and four others to be selected by him.
 --i The meeting adjourned subject to call of Marshall Bobby Burns.

TWO LARGE FOREST FIRES

Since the middle of last week forest fires have been raging on and about Kerdrick Peak and Tn the Sitgreaves Mountains. At the present writing, Tuesday P. M., they are practically out. These fires are tre worst the Forest Service has had to deal with. Fire-fghting has been continuous for nearly whole week with all the fighting forces that could be mustered. The areas burned over are, approxim- ately, 1,200 acres for the Sit greaves and 1,70O acres for Kendrick Peak.
 Not much saw timber was burned by ? these fires, but a great many young trees were killed. This young timber was thick and protected the mount ain slopes very effectually from denudation. With the trees gone the slopes are exposed to wash and: the consequence will be that the slopes will not be productive of anything of use but, on the contrary, will hasten the water fall down the canyons and tend to increase the destruction of floods.
 Forest fires are caused by human carelessness ss-one does not like to think ever by design. These fires which have just rav- aged the Sitgreaves and Kend- rick Peak, should be a warning to everyone who by any chance might be responsible for a for est fire to be very careful in the future.

WOODROW WILSON
 CLUB ORGANIZED

That the Democrats of Will Hams are alive and are going to take a lively interest in the forth coming campaign was amply attested at the Gateway Club room last Saturday evening, when a number of the faithful, both ladies and gentlemen, met for the purpose of organizing a Woodrow Wilson Club. It was announced in the News last. week that a club would be organ ized, and after the picture show the meeting was called to order and F. M. Gold was elected chairman and Smith Beck secre- tary. In stating the object of the organization emphasis was laid upon the fact that the club was not to be in any sense a. partizan orr anization, but as in dicated by it's name strictly a Woodrow Wilson Club. The constitution as later adopted, in defining the eligibility of mem bers, states that anyone who is a citizen of Coconino county and announces their determination to vote for Wilson, regardless of other political affiliation. is en- titled to become a member.
 A committee on constitution and bylaws consisting of Messrs Barnes, Parker and Will Hams was then appointed. While the committee were out the meeting was adressed by Hon. George Olney, of Phoenix, can didate for Democratic nomina- tion for Governor. While MT. Olney, as he, himself, admits, is in no sense an orator, still by his quiet, forceful and gentle manly manner he made many friends while here. The com mittee having, announced it's readiness to report, the constitu- tion and bylaws were then read and adopted.
 Nomination for the various offices created by the constitu- ton were then called for, and the following officers were cleo ed; w. M. Hughes, president; w. o. Church, first vice presi- dent; Mrs. R. c. Wente. second vice president; Edward Conway, third vice president; Mrs. Steven Quinn, fourth vice. president; J. M. Holub, fifth vice president; Mrs. Ethel Peet Nordyke, sixth vice president; John R. Sweeney, secretary and treasur- CT. .... ,.
 Committee consisting of MT George Barnes, Mrs. Jean Dye, Mrs. w. M. Hughes, W...S. Par ker, George Barnes and l.. S.. Williams was appointed to solicit members. Fifty three members, number of whom were re- publicans, were enrolled.
