He Kept Us Out Of Patience
They say
That Woodrow wilson
Kept us out of war.
And it is not unlikely
That soon they will say,
"He kept us out Of jail"
For the truth is
We are out of war
And also
We are out of Jail.
We would remark that
We are out of luck
If that is all
The democrats
Can do for us.
He has kept US
Out of patience

Thorough tests of devices to prevent
fish from entering irrigation bitches
are to be made by forest service offic-
ers, who say that thousands of the
trout placed in western streams by the
government are killed through being
carried into the bitches and washed
out on the fields. There are not less
tha 200 irrigation projects on or near
the national forests, and in MANY
places the loss of trout is very heavy.
the amount of water used in irriga-
tion, it is said, often determines the
advisabilty of artictiially stocking the
streams.
A number of devices for screening
the bitches are in use, and while two
or three have been found to be fairly
effective, most of them are said to be
unsatisfactory. 1t is asserted that this
subject presents an excellent opportun-
ity for inventors, since a successful
screen will be sure to be widely used.
Under present conditions officials are
slow to recommend that the trout be
placed in streams where they are apt
to be led off into the irrigation bitches.

over it when the snake coiled and be-
gan rattling. Mr.. Hunt jumped to
safety and dispatched the serpent with
a stick. The horse became frightened
by the rattling and ran away.

DO THE PEOPLE WANT
 WORDS OR WISDOM?

Prescott, Arizona, October 1Oth.- The striking contrast in the presenta- tion of campaign issues by Governor J, H. Kibbey, republican candidate for United States senator and Henry F. Ashurst, democratic nominee, dur ing the past week has greatly re- dounded to the benefit of the repu- blican candidate. He has come hon estly and openly before the people with constructive message of force and eloquence and has made no at tempt to hide the issues behind gow- cry flights of oratory and political "bunk."
 On the other hand, his opponent in the democratic ranks has raved about the tall pine trees of Navajo county, the golden sunsets that paint beauti- ful pictures on the great sides of the Grand Canyon. He has raved about the desolation caused by the great European war and talked about the seven hills of Rome, the building of the pyramids in Egypt and continues to give his audiences interesting 'lec- lures in ancient history. But all the time he is cunningly lodging the vital issues of the present campaign.
 Perhaps the most truthful state ment, or at least the fairest one Sen ator Ashurst made during the past week, was at Winslow when he told 150 people assembled in the electric theatre, q have only been a small catfish back in Washington during the past four years but I know I can be big trout if you give me another chance" And he was roundly ap- plauded when he made the statement. Governor Kibbey is not a cam paigner of the Ashurst type. He makes no attempt to excite his audiences about tales of great hero ism upon bloodstained battlefelds. He confines his addresses entirely to the issues of the campaign. He tells, what everyone knows who follows events, of the many broken pledges of the democrats, of the blanks in the Baltimore platform that were forgot ten, of how Wilson has failed to keep the nation out of war, how the present prosperity is the result of the great war and innumerable other things that every good citizen, who is interested in the progress of the na- tion, should understand. And in it all there is no attempt to mislead the people.
 One has but to listen to conversa- tions on the streets in the northern cities and towns, to ascertain the pre-
The Coconino sun., 1916-10-13

vailing sentiment. Governor Kibbey is making the biggest possible hit while his opponent is daily losing votes by his attitude of evasion. And this is true right in Senator Ashurst's home town of Flagstaff.
 Another interesting angle that will have considerable bearing on the race as result of the very manifest feel ing of jealousy in the democratic ranks, is the difference between Sen ator Ashurst and Congressman Hay den. Ashurst is extremely jealous of Hayden's popularity among the bour- bons and it is said that he is making every effort to have the Maricopa county man put in another campaign party where he will not detract from his flowery attempts. Senator Ash urst believes that Carl Hayden is priming himself for the senatorial race next time and, in view of this, he is looking upon him with suspi- cion. This is very obvious to the ob- server as the two men have nothing in common. Each of them pick their company from different sets in the democratic ranks and the only time they are seen together is when they must appear on the rostum in each others company.
 Joe V. Prochaska, candidate for secretary of state, is making a most
The Coconino sun., 1916-10-13

wonderful race. Every place Joe ap- pears he is greeted by hundreds of his close personal friends who are all pledging themselves to enter his fight.
 Judge Otis J. Baughn, candidate for supreme justice, is receiving innu- merable promises of support from the better element all over the state. His plea for non-partisan judiciary is winning him many supporters.
 This week the first campaign party will invade the southern part of the state and will devote nearly all of the time from now until November 7th in the counties of largest population.

was quartered, and he walked among the
cars, trying to find those donated by
Uncle Percy and discover how they were
holding up. Each car had plate bearing
the donors name but, unfortunately,
the plates were SO plastered with mud
that Oliver could not make out any of the
names. In the course Of his inspection he
came upon Carter, the boy who had
crossed with him. Carter was strangely
engaged.
@Hello," said Carter. "How are you
making out? They gave me new car
tonight, and I'm getting it ready
And he stopped, seized handful of
mud, and began to plaster it over the
plate bearing the name of the donor.
"What on earth are you doing?' Oliver
inquired.
"lm erasing the name Of the gracious
gentleman who gave us this car, the boy
said. aWe do it to all of them-it's by
way of a christening. You don't suppose
I'd go out there on the firing line with this
libel on our generosity cleaning in the
sun, do you?"
Oliver stared at him. Over them hung
calm and placid moon, lighting that
little square where hundred worn auto
mobiles were parked. The windows in
the buildings all about were dark and
sinister-all save those in the city hall,
where men in agony were fighting for
their lives.
IL don't understand, said Oliver.
Carter's face seemed old and haggard
in the moonlight.
4If you and your bunch understood"
he said, @there wouldn't be any plates;
and shouldn't have to wallow in this mud"
Oliver said afterward that Carter was
a queer fish.
TWO days later Oliver was admitted to
the company Of the men who killed.
On glorious winter afternoon, with the
sun faint yellow above him, he took
Evening star., 1916-09-24

part in raid on railway station back of
the enemys lines. He had five bombs,
and he landed them all before the planes
of the enemy put him to fight. 1t was
exhlarating to fly there in the blue sky,
to watch the insects below him scurry in
terror at his approach, to feel that he had
done his duty WE'LL
He was commended for bravery by his
captain. And indeed he was brave-but
not especially worthy of praise for it,
For he was utterly lacking in imagination
he could not picture death.
FOR more than month he served faith
fully and well. Then, returning one eve
ming from an inspection of the enemy's
lines, he met over the trenches of his own
side German plane. He knew his duty,
and he did it. The German fired first,
and caught Oliver in the left shoulder.
Oliver showed his mettle then. Still
keeping a firm control of his machine, he
fired and brought the German down.
When he himself had landed safely,
Oliver went over and looked at his van
quished foe. He saw a handsome blond
boy who might have been in his own club;
ne nOtlced, 100, tnat ne wore wedding
ring. For a moment Oliver felt trihe
faint; then they began to crowd around
him.
They dressed the wound in divers
shoulder and sent him back to Paris to
recover. He read in the order of the day
that he was down to receive the Cross of
War.
Uncle Percy was not in the French
capital when Oliver got there. He had
returned to London presumably to stand
in the street forlorn before his clubs. But
with the news of divers exploit he
wrote joyfully that he was received every
where again, and that he was proud
man.
Paris was lonely. Coolidge had gone
back to the States; so had most of
