The Holbrook news man is some what peeved because recent high grade symphony club played lot of tunes he wasn't used to. He calls them numbers, some call them selec- tions or airs, howsumevers we rather agree that we like 'tunesf including husky old bass drummer who could render "The Devils Dream" also Hot Time" with power and execution that would make gang of circus stake drivers look like the faded end of an old daguerreotype. For years we wondered how the trombone player could reach so far down in his system and dig up notes with the iron rod he slid in and out of his face. We never did know anything about notes, except well musical ones.

IT MAY MEAN WAR

The deliberate assault on the Ame- rican town of Columbus, N. M., and the murder of Americans, was of course partly for loot, but mainly to compel the United States to inter vene, because Carranza was recognized as president of the de facto govern ment of Mexico. Villa knows the temperament of his countrymen and felt certain that Caranza would swell his egotistical chest and advise the United States: "I'll catch him and punish him, just be patient; don't send soldiers after him." The chances are strong that he will take this attitude when the United States asks permis- sion to help clean up some of the moral filth in Northern Mexico. The people behind him will begin to "vive" and turn against the only government on earth that has ever been their friend and protector.
 U. s. soldiers are on their mission now in old Mexico and Villas days are numbered, but if he has accomplished his end in making a war with the United States he will probably die happy.
 It will take at least 500,000 men to handle the situation, though 25,000 could clean up all the actual fighting necessary. The extra men would be necessary as an army of occupation to hold the country captured and protect lines of communication.
 As to the attitude of Carranza sol diers, it is reported that they knew of the contemplated raid on Columbus, but did not attempt to advise U. $. officers of it. This, if true, is an atrocity equal to the murders com mitted by Villa.
 Villa was reported two days before, in press dispatches as being only ten mics from Columbus and on his way to that point. This would seem to indicate that our army was asleep at its post, for they knew his presence meant no good.
 Our preparedness will be painfully exemplitied again if war is necessary, yet it may terminate in another Gas ton-Alphonse affair.

Senator Ashurst believes the 'chill- ing winds and snows and frosts of winter has cooled the fevered imagi- nations of the people, who believe, or pretend to believe that we are certain of attack most any day" Henry may discover before the chilling winds" come again in November, that the people are pretty thoroughly "het up over preparedness and that no frost of winter" will be allowed to frost the preparedness idea and those who attempt it among the people will feel the cooling affect of much political snow as the ballots fiutter home. Hen ry must have momentarily had his political ear off the ground.

The board of supervisors have called an election to vote for or against a bond issue of $250, ,OO0 for good roads in Coconino county. The election is called for early in May. The details may be seen in another column. Shall we or shall we not? That's the ques- tion that confronts us. Shall we go on with the old hit and miss system or shall we prepare and complete for the use of the people now living, a permanent system of good roads?
 What can 1 get out of it personal ly?" should not be the view point. It should be considered from the broad ground of public utility, the benefits to be derived from the plans laid down.
 In the interest of the public general ly, we will be pleased to print any honest discussion, pro or con on the subject.

Baseball at the N. A. N. $

Baseball at the N. A. N. $.
 The fascination for baseball has already begun to show itself in the Normal school. Every one of the boys is showing much interest in 1t, and it is expected that very good team will be had this season. The baseball season of the N. A. N. begins so late in the year that many contests are not scheduled, but this year many good games are going to be had, among them being Winslow high school, WInslow hop team, Williams, Milton Hill team, the Ranger team, and per haps the Prescott high school.
 In this part of the state, people are not so enthusiastic about baseball as they are in the southern part of the state, but the fans" who understand and like baseball will have a chance to see some good ball games, and especially to see a good team made at the Normal schol. Many men are out for baseball with two or three boys out for every position. They are as follows:
 Catcher: Brandt, Pulliam, Williams.
 Pitcher: Lowery, Russell, Beaton. First base Grantham, Hunter, Schwalbe, Compton. 
 Second base: Shuck, Carrara, Boyce.
 Third base: White, Blakely, Hen derson.
 Short stop: Robertson, Coulson, Hanley.
 Field: Turping, Hamblin, Ellinger, Aubineau, Prather.
 To those who followed the football season, many of the names are fami- liar, and if these men do as good in baseball as they did in football they will make team that will be hard to beat.

o, SOME DEMOCRATS ARE AL.
 MOST HUMAN

Flagstaff is soon to have a demo- cratic newspaper, enough of the faith ful having clipped in to start the en- terprise. Brother Breen, of The Sun, appears to view the approach of a competitor with equanimity, but he perhaps remembers that Democratic newspapers, like flies and mosquitoes, must serve some useful purpose in the scheme of the universe even though scientists have as yet'been un- able to locate their field. Possibly they are properly to be classed with Jobs boils.-Clifton Mining Journal.

YEP. PEACE OR PIECES

According to the Coconino Sun, Flagstaff is to have democratic pa per published by Craig Pottenger and A. B. Cowdry. Editor Breen an nounces that he will welcome the competitor, for it will give the Sun somebody to scrap with occasionally and thus stir up the dry bones" This would indicate that Brother Breen is not averse to putting on the editorial gloves with worthy opponent.-Mesa Tribune,

President Wilson asks all the repu- blicans to put bias aside. They should in a crisis, but what strikes the aver age citizen is why in "U. S." can't he do the same? It's great game of gimme what you got and I'll return you what l don't need, unless l need it."
 President Wilson is entitled to the best brains of the country in his need but it is unfair for him to use repu- blican brains for democratic glory.

Regardless of "Bostonian" ideas of an Indian, an Indian is very much human and the longer he is given easy opportunities over the whites, the longer he is going to accept them and without gratitude or future hope or desire of recompence. When they are segregated allotted lands and turned lose on the great plan of the survival of the Attest" they will quickly under stand many things we learned long ago. No one planes the Indian for not working-a white wouldn't either so long as he had some one to look after him and as long as they are taught dependency, not by the schools and not by those who know them, but by mistaken bunch of fantastical old maids, governed by an absolute lack of knowledge of local conditions, the stalwart Indian will accept few million acres of land for his family and continue to demand food on the side from the government.
 We are for the poor man body and soul, but what is the use of being for the poor man, or the Indian who merely finds out that you are an easy sucker and comes back regularly for more?
 This may be putting it rather crude, but the point is--"Why help a man who won't help himself when given every opportunity"

The Mohave Daily Miner published at Kingman, is the newest evidence of that great mining boom now on in that county.

The Carranza government believes in economy. Recently five captured rebel generals were dropped overheard into the sea while being taken to Man. zanillo. It was not done with any serious intent but merely as joke on the captured rebels, evidently thinking that as the generals were on- ly eight or ten miles from shore, they could walk back.cain s9 pd
