PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

The trade at home argument boiled down is simply this. Should every person in and around a town send away for every article purchased, the town would quickly disappear from the map, and when you send away you are doing just that much to re- tard the town, if not to help is disap- pear. Further, it is more incumbent upon those who are in the selling busi- ness to practice this noble example than for those who only buy. If all the job printing sent out of town to save few dimes was done in the town, at least four more thirty dollar week printers would be circulating their wages here and that would "help some." The printing office people are always jealous trade at homers, who practice what they preach in this matter.-Prescott Courier.

WARNING TO EASTERN
 MEN WHO COME WEST

Mrs. Eva Eddy of this city called at The Republican office yesterday and gave some additional facts regarding the murder of Henry lThennas, the youth whose body was found chopped to pieces in the reservoir at Williams a few days ago. Mrs. Eddy states that the young man came to her home some time in October and rented "a small furnished house which she owns, near her home. He was known to have had several hundred dollars at the time he came here and Mrs. Eddy is of the belief that it was on account of the money that the young man was lured from the city by a stranger who represented himself to be a pros- pector. Owing to the fact that only the other day young prospector was found murdered near Hot Springs Junction, attention has been called to the fact that it would be advisable for all young men who expect to go on prospecting trips with strangers to make thorough inquiries as to the character of the man or men with whom they are to make the trip, and thus avoid any such fate as has re- gently overtaken the two ill-fated gold hunters.-Phoenix Republican.

The editor of the Williams News says we spoiled his Christmas, by in- timating that "a democratic postmas- ter is worthy of his hire" last week, in answer to the "poor republican press" " and suggests our remarks were almost mean especially for the "Yuletide sea- son." Now, really, while we are not a bit cross, our return may not have been exactly appropriate for the Yuel- tide season, but was intended more for your "mule-tide" condition. Otherwise we apologize and wish you Happy New Year.

The Sun has never been for an in- structed delegation to the National convention and does not believe the interests of Arizona could best be conserved next year in sending a hobbled delegation to Chicago. It is not a question of party only, Ari- zona's interests are at stake as well, more so than that of any individual who may have a private ax to grind. Taking into consideration the attitude of the people at the present time, there is strong indication that no one man or select cortrie will be able to turn the state over this year with a hobbled delegation.

The political situation is always a very complex affair and this year promises to be more complexer" as it were. Already we are receiving plate matter boosting the candidacy of dark horse in the campaign for the presidency. So far as this state is concerned it has been turned over to candidate Weeks, weeks and weeks ago by Committeeman Cameron and the Five Points Herald. Whats the use of any measly old dark horse try ing to shake off his shadow at this early stage of the game, especially when we have been turned over to candidate Weeks?

While we don't mention any names, it looks as though our Supervisor Tom Brown had got mixed up with the Little Jimmie" pictures last week in the magazine section of the Exam iner. They are the Swinnerton brand and knowing that he knows Tom Brown, we are suspicious of the 'like- ness" and have concluded he slammed one over on "Old School Days"

ALMOST SQUARED HIMSELF

"We regret having placed a dead man in charge of the Coconino Sun, a very decent Republican paper, but the Republican party is so hopelessly dead that it was natural for us to make the mistake of having dead one in charge, but the editor and proprietor of that paper, Mir. F. S.. Breen, is very decidedly alive, no matter how dead his party. y."-Prescott Courier.
 If Col. Rogers really believes that the G. o. P. is dead, he'll see lively looking ghost prodding the democratic donkey over the brink next fall.

NEW AUTOMOBILE SPEED
 KING ID BUCK RECORD

Author, actor, director, manager, the "Four-in-one man" as he is often called, has added yet another cog to his wheel of accomplishments.
 It has been whispered that he is ambitious of competing with Heinze in his fifty-seyen varieties. The pro cess may be slow, but look out Hein- zie!
 The latest departure is the acquisi- tion of two honest to goodness racing cars just purchased for many honest to goodness dollars; one of which has made an excellent showing in it's in itial race under the new ownership in the Grand Prix 150-mile event in the Arizona State Fair by finishing fourth place out of twenty-eight entries.
 This car, Sebring make with a Duesenberg motor, has quite dis tinguished record taking prize money in the Astor Cup race at the New York meet at Sheepshead Bay last year, and is the winner of several events at the Indianapolis, Galveston, Frisco and Minneapolis track meets.
 The other car is special racing model with a Buick motor built and driven by Jack Smith who is well known in racing circles in the South west as an expert mechanic and driver. He holds an enviable reputa- tion in race track circles in that sec tion of the country having taken first money in the 100-mile Juarez event in August 1914. It was he who in the famous desert race from Fl Paso to Phoenix last year when fifty-seven miles ahead of any other contestant broke a steering knuckle and was compelled to drop out of the race when but a few miles to the finish.
 Romaine Fielding is the guilty party of all this, and the cars in question are to be entered in future races as the "R. F." Special, numbers l and 2. They will go in the 100-mile event at Tucson February 22.
 Good luck to you and the speed wagons, Romaine!

From Williams is reported the de- struction of the large garage of Bab- bitt & Poison from the heavy snow on the roof, the building collapsing, on Saturday night, but without any one being injured. The loss was not given, but several hundred dollars will not replace the damage done to individual car owners. Other buildings of smaller size wer also reported as caved in from the same cause.

 -"What Shall We Tax TOday?'

Democratic Cabinet Chorus
 -"What Shall We Tax Today?' The babies at baptizing
 Tax maidens for each dance; Tax the Democratic badge
 The patch upon our pants. Tax each glass-eye, each false tooth Make every Silas Wegg Place ten-cent sticker
 On his wooden leg. Tax our horse, the widows COW, The organ-grinder's monkey And, not to show partiality,
 The Democratic donkey. Then, if these will not suffice
 The Treasury to save,- Grab Henry Georges single tax
 And clap it on each grave.

But what can we do?" say the

harmony, you know, and if your

and pockets and sashes, your shoes
trimmed with 'perforations" and
buttons, how can you wear a simple
blOuse?"
