TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD

THE GUARDIAN celebrates with
this issue its twenty-second birthday
and we. feel that we are justly en-
titled to the congratulations of our
many friends that we have succeeded
in establishing q real home paper
and one that has helped materially
in the upbuilding of our town. our
valley, our county and our State.
During these many years The
GUARDIAN has seen many changes in
town and valley. 1t has advocated
successfully every public improve.
ment that has come to the people;
it has helped every worthy cause
that has sought bettermentsin every
town in the valley. and it will con.
tinue to be the champion of the
people in everything that pertains
to the public good.

the growers can ship it out. The
millers want wheat this year, next
year, every year. They know it
costs more to raise wheat in an irri-
cation country than elsewhere, for
many farmers, though the better
farmers know how to secure an in
creased tonnage sufficient to offset
the extra cost But the milers de-
pend on the average farmer, not on
the expert, for their supply, and it
is to their best interests to give the
farmer the top price the market
will justify. All people should
patronize home industry. The mills
have to do it,
There is more wheat in this valley
today than the mills can dispose of
as flour. unless there is a better de-
mand for the home product than
has prevailed recently. There is
more Kansas -four sold in Phoenix
today than there is of the local pro-
duct which excels it for everything
but light bread.
The wheat grower spends practic.
ally all his money locally. Every
dollar that passes through the
millers hands is spent locally, ex
cept his original investment for
machinery. the sacks he buys and a
few incidentals. >This means hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars charg,
ing hands repeatedly in ayear, right
here in the home markets, or sent
to Kansas as the people have it in
their power to determine.
IF they can't make -four let'em
quit" says the first critic. If they
can't raise hard wheat raise some
thing else," says another. Very
well. Bust the millers. cripple the
farmers, discharge the extra clerks
in the dry goods and grocery stores,
eliminate part of the theaters. make
missionaries out of the preachers,
country weeklies out of the daiiies,
quit handling farm machinery lines,
foreclose on the mortgage. close up
the chamber of commerce and sound
taps" ovardrawn? OF course, and
no fear but there will be change
sometime, but just now that's the
direction lot of people are uncon.
sciously steering the ship. We can
raise good wheat, we can make good
-four. and we can eat it with good
grace when we know the truth.
Also we can patronize home industry
and we will do it before we ge, very
far, for similar reasoning applies to
other lines all over Arizona. .-Ari.

it will be only matter Of time
until the beautiful valley, which
now contains in the neighborhood
of 10000 happy and prosperous
people, will be relegated to river
bottom and the people obliged to
hunt homes elsewhere.
What we want you to do is this,
and there is no reason why we
should not get this assistance: We
would like to have you make appll-
cation to the department which will
most likely have this class of work
in hand and secure an appropria-
ton from congress for at least suf-
ficient to bring about an investiga-
ton. We recommend that engi-
neers be sent todetermine upon the
most feasible plan to straighten the
river, to dredge it or to protect its
sides with piling or other devices or
means by which the waters can be
kept from undermining and de-
stroying the farm lands on both
sides. "
I'VE believe that inasmuch as the
War Department has taken hold of
the San Carlos project just below
US on the same river, that they
might come on up the stream and
investigate and make their recon-
mendations, as they are already in.
terested. This, of course, is only
suggestive. based upon the conclu-
sions that the government has con-
structed two bridges on the Indian
Reservation. both of which has been
very much damaged and the ap-
proaches washed away. Then the
fact that if this department is going
to construct the San Carlos dam,
the information would be of value
to them. Aside from this sug.
gestion and dealing with facts,
which. of course, we will leave open
for their good Judgment at Wash
ington, in connection with your
kind consideration, the reclamation
service or some other department
of government should be called upon
to take this river in hand.
We want to say to YOU that
while we are united and can handle
most all other matters in the gen
eral development and uplift of the
community, this is q proposition
altogether too big for us"

POOR MAN

|. Man that is born of woman
is of few dollars and full of egotism.
2. Man cometh forth like a
flower, but is wilted by the high
cost of living and shriveled by rent
and taxes.
3. He hustleth for his train and
misseth it by three quarters of a
minute.
A. He crosseth the. street in the
pride of his manhood and is tossed
three blocks by a yellow honk-wagon.
g.: Yea, even his stenographer
leaveth her chewing gum on his
desk chair by accident, and he needs
must wear his rain coat home.
6. What is a man but the shuttle
cock of fate walloped over the fence
by the battledore of adversely?
7. In his infancy he stubbeth his
toe and waieth Justify, and in his
maturity he acquireth the gout and
curseth abominably.
8. Yea, his troubles do follow
him in his young manhood and the
first girl to whom he proposeth doth
accept him.
9. Verify, what is man but a
stonebruise on the heel of existence?
10. Events he but freckle upon
the face of Miss Fortune, for when
he polisheth his silk hat he absent
mindedly turneth about and sitteth
upon it, being therefore the man
who putteth loss in gloss.
IL. He runneth for Office, nor
can anyone guess what manner of
man it was who cast the other vote
for him.
IL. He walketh in the street and
a bulldog falleth upon him; he
walketh in the fields and an aviator
falleth upon him; he hideth in the
cellar for protection and the gas
meter explodeth and hoisteth him
through the flooring unto the third
floor; even if he diveth into forty
fathoms of water he bumpeth bis
bean upon a water.sogged plank.
l3. The banister of life adown
which he slideth is full of splinters,
and the Hand of Faith leadeth him
not, but weareth brass knuckles and
jabbeth him constantly.
Ia. Yea, verify. man that is born
of woman is destined to bills and
boils, toll and thirst, malaria and
matrimony.
Is. And when the end cometh
he cannot even enjoy the epitaph
provided for him, and the flowers
sent to garnish his obsequies are by
mistake delivered to the home of
his bitterest enemy.-

UNFAIR AND MALICIOUS

George Olney will not be a can.
didate for governor. Had the cop
per press of the State kept silent
upon Mr.. Olney's candidacy. the
gentleman might have had chance,
but with the Star. Gazette. Review
and the International all shouting
for Mr., 0lney. he was crucifed be.
fore he had an opportunity to make
up his mind. II is passing strange
that the Copper Queen don't choke
those fools off or throw their plants
into the sewer"
The above. published in Dunbar's
Weekly, is 30 obviously unfair and
its malicious intent so apparent that
IL borders very closely on criminal
libel. There is no one In Arizona
who knows George Olney better
than Editor Dunbar, and he knows
that Mr.. Olney has never been in
the slightest degree connected with
the mining companies. He knows
that when Mr.. Olney wasa member
of the Territorial Board of Equal.
ization that the Southern Pacific
Railroad was assessed ridiculously
low; that he gathered data on the
assessed valuation of this road. both
in Californis and New Mexico; that
this was done at his own expense,
and that this data was laid before
the board in an effort to have the
road properly assessed. That the
other members Of the board refused
TO take any action, and MIR. Olney,
finding that he could accomplish
nothing for the taxpayers, resigned
Mr.. Dunbar also knows that Mr'
Olney fought side by aide with AS
SCISSOR Birdno in the successful at
tempt TO compel the mining com
panies to pay their just proportion
of the taxes, which action had the
effect of reducing the rate of taxa
ton one.half. He knows that il
elected Mr.. olney would be an i'm
partial governor.
The object Of Dunbar is to dis
credit Mr.. olney and do him ire
narable injury with the people

FOR PERSONAL. USE

Our State Supreme Court made a
new record when it reversed the
Superior Court of Yuma county in
the case of w. j. Sturgeon, charged
and convicted of introducing bottle
of wine across the State line at
Yuma.
The decision practically sustains
the right of the individual to bring
in liquor for personal use, but furth-
er on it states that it must not be
understood that the mere claim that
Intoxicating liquor has been brought
in by one for his personal use renders
such a person immune from prose!
cution. Anyone bringing intoxi-
eating liquor into Arizona from
outside the limits of the State does
so at his peril. Whether he subjects
himself to punishment or not de-
pends on the use to which the in
,toxicating liquor is intended to be
put"
The individual who brings in in.
toxicating liquor, claiming it is for
his personal use, and then tries to
sell it or give it away. will be up
against it just as bad as ever. Nc
such subterfuge will help the in
dividual in court. if he is caught in
the act of selling the liquor.
Our State Supreme Court will moi
win any medals for this decision
which practically let's down the bar:
| for the introduction of Intoxicating
liquors. The decision will find favor
with those who believe that they
have right to have all the liquor
they want. but to those who are
firm believers in the prohibition Law
and that it is necessary in order Il
save our young boys from the curse
of drink, it will be regarded as |
step backward.
