steers, to be used in the steer roping
bulldogging contests. Many high
wagers are being made as to the pos
sibility of Johnny Fredericks, the
champion of 1915, being able to retain
the medal this year, as he must do,
if he is to be proclaimed the Worlds
champion.
Excursion trains will be run from
all points commencing on the LIST Of
July and besides those many specials
will operate. Hundreds of auto tour
lists have already booked accommoda-
tons and large tract of land in
West Prescott is being reserved for
all auto tourists. With six big con-
ventions and three special excursions,
Prescott will have the largest crowd
ever gathered within her gates. Over
$15,000.00 will be spent by her citi-
zens in carrying out this celebration
and no expense will be spared in max
ing this celebration the best ever
pulled off in the Mile High city.

PRESCOTT SHOW FOLLOWS
FLAGSTAFF CELEBRATION
Especial to Coconino Sun by G. M.

With bands playing, banners 'wav-
ing, horses bucking, Prescott during
the 1916 Frontier Days, July 1867,
1916, will be the mecca of hundreds of
Arizonans and summer tourists. AL
ready, every plan is perfected looking
to the proper entertainment and COM
fort of each and every guest who will
be in the Mile High city. Several Of
the leading hotels have been remod-
eled and put in first-class shape dur
ing the past few months, and this
assures ample accommodations for
those making reservations early.
The gala Frontier Days outfits will
be in evidence everywhere and today,
Prescott is again resuming the cos
tums Of the days of 40. Cowboys
continue to drift in from every section
of the globe and all are confident of
victory in the greatest of all con-
tests-that Of the worlds champion
ship broncho busting contest. No
worse bunch of outlaws could be
found, than those now at the Frontier
Days grounds, anxiously waiting the
opening Of the big celebration. The
ranges of Arizona, New Mexico, Tex
as and Wyoming have been secured
for the wildst of the wild, including

SPORTSMEN OF STATE
PROTEST AGAINST WARDEN

TIE Arizona Sportsmen's Associa-
tioA are making a vigorous protest
against the state game warden and
rs grounds for their protest, recently
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, the present State Game
Warden of Arizona has, ever since his
appointment to the Office, been most
objectionable to the sportsmen Of Ari-
IONA, by reason Of his continued eff
forts 20 enforce imaginary game laws,
and FEDERAL game laws or regulations
which court decisions in every case
where the question has been raised
have declar ed unconstitutional, and
which Fede raj regulations do not
come withpl the jurisdiction or scope
of work OF said Game Warden, in
stead of enforcing the real Game
Laws of Arizona, therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, by the Arizona
Sportsmen's Association, in regular
meeting assembled, that we condemn
the action of the State Game Warden
in attempting to place upon the bal
lot at the next general state election
certain proposed amendments to the
game laws, which represent simply
his own "pet" ideas and which are
more stringent than the laws in any
of other states where game is less
plentiful and in no sense voice the
sentiment Of the sportsmen of Ari-
IONA, who are the only people direct
ly interested in the game laws.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the proposed amendment and espe-
cially that part of it increasing the
nonresident hunting license from
$1,000 to $4,000 and an additional
$1,000 for fishing license. 1t is the
sense Of this Association that said
nonresident license should be low
cred instead Of increased.
Resolved, Further that this Asso.
citation of sportsmen urges all its
members to refrain from signing the
initiative petition now being circulat.
ed by the Game Warden of Arizona
and to influence their friends as fan
as possible in like action, with the
purpose in view that when the legis.
lature convenes a game law may be
enacted in which those concerned may
have voice.

Woodrow Wilson has presented in
a pen picture the strong contrasts
between himself and Grover Cleve-
land In his history of the American
People, Wilson says that Cleveland
was of the "open and downright sort
that all men who love strength must
always RELISH" that business men had
confidence in him because he had
successful business experience of his
own, that long apprenticeship in af-
fairs made it plain to him how men
were to be handled, and that his close
acquaintance with the personal side
of party combination was the basis
of his political sagacity." In all
these respects Wilson differs from
Cleveland. Wilson is secretive, not
open. He had no successful business
experience--in fact he boasts of his
lack of business experience. His want
of acquaintance with the personal
side of party affairs accounts for his
lack of political sagacity. His weak
ness in all these respects will explain
the frequent need for his changing
his mind upon important public ques-
tons. No successful business man
would need to change his mind so
often in his private affairs. No man
could make a success of private bust
ness on such small experience as Will
sons. Neither should anyone be sur
prised that Wilson has made such a
dismal failure as chief executive of a
nation of hundred million people.

Our normal exports Of barbed wire
amount to about 100000 annually.
During the nine months ended March
1916, we exported $16,000,000 worth
of this commodity. Nearly all of it
went to Europe. Was it because the
Nations at war are fencing off their
boundaries. or going into stock-rais-
ing? Not at all. 1t was to string
barbed wire entanglements. In every
stage of the manufacture of this
barbed wire labor received benefit,
and stockholders in mine and factory
companies got increased dividends.
Our exports of meat and dairy pro-
ducts during this same nine months
totaled $145,000,000 nearly all of
which went to the belligerents. Farm
ers, stockholders, and laborers profit
ed by the huge demand for meat and
dairy products. While this export
trade was going on the Democratic
Campaign Committee was busy COM
posing publicity matter to show that
Democracy brings era of unexampled
prosperity" The only way they can
prove it is to show they were re-
sponsible for the European war.

If the present administration had
deliberately made an effort to dis
please the public and make enemies
for itself, it could hardly have sue
ceeded in that direction more effect
lively than it has done. From the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Canadian line to the Gulf, protests
are still coming to members of Con-
gress asking in most urgent terms to
be protected from the proposed
changes in the rural delivery service.
In one community out in California
public meeting of patrons Of the
rural service was held and protest
was drawn in such vigorous language
that it was feared few people would
sign it, but the feeling was SO pro-
nounced that 80 per cent of the pa
irons of the rural routes affected
signed the protest and then took up
a collection to pay the expense Of
telegraphing the protest not only to
the Department but to the Senators
and the congressman from that dis
trict.

WAR AFTER THE WAR

The German shipping companies
have 100000 tons of new ships in
Hamburg harbor, awaiting peace to
seize a share of the worlds transpor-
tation. That item Of news indicates
the fierce competition of trade that is
to follow the war. Meanwhile Eng
lish ministers are undertaking meas
ures in conjunction with the other
allies to control adversely to the CEN
trail powers whatever trade they can.
Brooks Adams commercial defni-
ton of war is an intensified competi-
ton. When wars form of competi-
ton ceases, it is to be followed by
another form of competition more in
tense than anything preceding the
war. The pruning hook that the
world is to take up after it has laid
down the sword, is to be as keen as
any sword and to cut both ways.
The sentimentalists who were dis
appointed by the war are destined
again to be disappointed by the peace.
The lion and the lamb are not then
to lie down together. The rivalries
which the war typifies are not to be
extinguished in a gush of fraternal
sentiment. Indeed, unless one or the
other Of the combatants is over
whelmed before peace comes, the riv-
airy between them will continue with
accentuated bitterness.
If the good offices Of the United
States can contrive to end the war,
well and good. But peace will not
mean that pacifsm is in the saddle.
1t will not furnish Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Ford, and their ilk opportunity to
crowd their doctrines on the world.
Instead of our humanitarians then
teaching the world what it should do,
we shall find our dexterity taxed to
meet the competition, to hold our own
in the warfare of traffic, restrictions,
preferences, combinations.
We shall find, indeed, that not only
is military preparedness required, but
also industrial preparedness. We
shall need a proper tariff and wise
management of business.--Minneapo-
lis Journal.

Delay in government service in this
administration has compelled the pub
lie to adopt a waiting If not watch
ing policy. The annual report, Fore
ign Commerce and Navigation of the
United Etates for the year ending
June 80, 1916" made its appearance
in June, 1916, from the Department
of Commerce, just nosing out the
fiscal year 1916. Under the Repu-
blican regime this report used to APP
pear not later than November follow
ing the close of the fiscal year,
Statisticians and students Of trade
have daily use for this volume and
delay in its appearance is vexatious.
The Monthly Summary of Foreign
Commerce of the United States is
another report which is now made
public after considerable delay. II
the Department Of Commerce would
pay more attention to official duties,
and less to the campaign publicity
work being carried on at the taxpay-
ers' expense, the people would be bet
ter satisfied and the Department
would have a better record at the
time it changes hands next March.

"The Democratic organization could
show its patriotism and broad-mind-
edness by eliminating the tariff from
the campaign" says the Washington
Post. That is what they are trying
to do, but as the alpha and omega Of
the Democratic party, Woodrow Will
son, says: Every business question
in this country, whether you think so
or not, comes back, no matter how
much you put on the. brakes, to the
question of the tariff. You cannot
escape from. it no matter in what
direction you CO." Up to the time of
going to press Wilson was a free
trader.

The Democratic administration
asserts that it inherited the Mexican
muddle from the Republicans. The
assertion is not true, but, even if it
were true, what of it? Didn't the
Democrats ask the American people
to GUST the Republicans from power
on the plea that they could run things
better? And wherein have they run
anything better than did the Repu-
blicans?

In view of the fact that a presi-
Dental campaign is about to be
staged, President Wilson decided it
would be good policy this year to
make an address at Arlington during
Memorial Day services. The grilling
he received for his refusal to speak
to the G. A. r. boys at Arlington two
years ago, is still fresh in his mem
ory.

Who can blame Postmaster Gene

President Wilson claims to be a
forward looking man." But judging
by the frequency with which he has
changed his mind on important pub
lie issues, he does not look very far
forward, or, if he does, he is poor
judge of what lies just ahead of him.

AUTO TRAFFIC.

To the Editor: Would it not be ad-
visable to install traffic posts at the in
tersection of High and Chestnut streets
and High and Commerce streets, also
devise some better way to regulate4th
auto traffic?
Also that the Mayor be empowered to
take such steps as are necessary to
enable the police department to secure
such evidence as will convict violators
of the laws regulating auto traffic.
The tendency Of some OF our auto
owners and drivers to exceed the speed
limit in our city is dangerous. Yet the
estimate If bystander as to speed OF a
passing car is not sufficient evidence to
secure convictions Of the ones guilty OF
this reckless and dangerous driving.
The enactment of city ordinances
regulating the auto traffic would enable
the city attorney to prosecute violators,
thus avoiding delays and could result
in all fines and penalties derived from
such prosecutions being paid into the
city treasury rather than being paid
TO the county. SAFETY FIRST.

SOME GOOD OLD MASONRY

c.. G.. Goldsworthy has repointed
during the week the fine cut stone resi-
dence building owned and occupied by
Mrs Grace O'COnnor and Miss Eliza
Kane This building was erected for
the late Patrick Kane by Richard
Goldsworthy, Sr. and will long stand
as a monument of good workmanship.
The Methodist Episcopal church edi-
fee, Trinity rectory. the Gundry resi-
dence, the Gundry q Gray Co. double
store, aud many other fine cut stone
buildings about town, all tell the story
of the skillfuI handicraft of such old
time stone masOns as Samuel Jenkin,
Sr., Abraham Goldsworthy, James
Carbis, John Jenkin, Richard Thomas,
W. j. Cox, Conrad Burgharht, Alois
Schaumberg, Joseph Branger, and many
others, who built up old Mineral Point
in stone quarried from her hillSides.
By the way, the new portion of the
Methodist Episcopal church is good,

1t matches exactly the work on the
original structure.

BY the combined efforts of commit
tee of the Woman's Civic Club, a
committee Of the common council and
Ernest Wiesen, street foreman, and by
the strenuous efforts Of James b.
Prideaux and force of strong armed
landscape gardeners. welding picks and
shovels and rakes, the square surround
ing the Municipal building is being
made thing of beauty. The old coal
house and tool houses which stood on
the north line of the property have been
removed, the stones have been picked
out and the ground graded and seeded,
and shrubbery planted. AS soon as
good sward forms, with a little proper
care, the park will appear as fine site
for the magnificent public building
which it surrounds.

ROBERT BACON.

which has been from the start Of the
war sort OF clearing house for Amer
ican relief.
Because Of her pathetic experience nc
the outbreak Of the war, Belgium ut.
tracted the early efforts Of American
relief organizations. The need for help
was so great, the invaded country was
so completely overwhelmed, that the
nations of Europe came to Belginm's
rescue on Il vast scale. The people OF
the United States, prompt to respond
to this call, have contributed thus far
nearly $8,OO0,OOO for the Belgians. The
total contributions for Belgian relief
are placed at $115, 100000.
While the bulk Of the relief work
done in this country goes to aid the
allies, yet great deal is being done to
help the unfOrtunates in the German1c
countries. Not so much is heard about
this branch of American relief work,
but it is nevertheless being prosecuted
with vigor.
There is, in the case Of the German
in this country through which the re-
suits are reported. For this reason it.
is not possible to give with eXactness
the amount Of aid being furnished by
the American people to the TeutOnic
nations. Prominent Germans who are
interesting themselves in the matter
estimate that $5,OOO,O0O will cover the
aid thus far sent from this country to
Teutonic sufferers.
Among the most active of the con-
spicuous Americans engaged in the war
relief work is the Hon. Robert Bacon,
former ambassador to France. While
Mr.. Bacon has given especial attention
to the American Ambulance hospital in
Paris, Of which organization he IS
chairman of the board Of governors, ne
also has followed with keen interest
other phases Of the relief work IN
which the people of the United States
are interested.
"The deepest appreciation is felt by
the people abroad" Mr.. Bacon sald'
"for what the United States has done,
both through individuals and organiza-
tions. This know. Especially do they
appreciate the way in which this work
is being done They feel that the peo-
ple of the United States have been
most generous. Not only do / know
this from friends in France and Eng
land, but also am assured that this
same feeling prevails in the other coun-
haVn ch0VVn
interest.

THE CHILD WELFARE
MEET AT DODGEvILLE

To present better ways OF bringing
up children and to offer suggestions as
to the manner in which they should be
cared for, child welfare institute will
be held in Dodgeville, Wis, during the
first week in June by the Extension
Division of the University of Wisconsin

Anti Tuberculosis association. the State
Board of Health, and the home econo-
mics department Of the University OF
Wisconsin. Their talks will be illus
trated by both lantern slides and NOV
ing pictures, and will concern health,
recreation and other problems Of bring
ing up children and general matters
pertaining to the management Of the
home.
A child's welfare conference under
the direction Of Dr. Florence Sherbon
will be feature of the institute.
Mothers may bring their children be-
fore a committee of doctors for fifteen
minute examination. IF child does
not measure up to the standard, the
reasons for it's failure to do so will be
explained, and suggestions, not how
ever, in the form of prescriptions, will
be made for it's betterment.

New York.-At no time since the
outbreak of the European war has
there been a satisfactory compilation
Of the total relief extended by the peo-
pie of the United States to the suffer
ers from that great conflict.
Herewith is a summary of these eff
forts, giving the results of On eXhaus-
tive inquiry, which reveals for the
first time the extent and effectiveness
Of the work done by the Americans.
Twenty-Five millions represents in
cash what the people of the United
States have contributed.
A quarter of q billion, it is estimat-
ed, is the grand total spent in relief
work abroad since the war began, and
the United States, through its cash
contributions and the vast stores OF
food, clothing and supplies furnished,
is regarded as having responded nObly
to the calls made upon our people.
Here in New York city there are
nearly seventy-fve organizations en-
gagged in war relief work. In Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and other large
| cities the work is receiving great
deal of attention, but the results are
reflected to a large extent through the
reports of the various organizations
having headquarters in New York,
