We'll, wouldn't it kick your grand. mothers uncle's sore footl The Pull man Palace Car Company is advertis- ing-and paying for it! The Steel Trust can not afford it as yet and are asking the opulent country editors to print their side of the case for noth- ing, but it begins to look as though the arrogant people of the United States, who have nothing to do but to work, have at last gone to that ex- treme of actually cutting of some of the flag ends of the dividens of the poverty stricken bonds holder. Think of it! Telling their side of the case to the people and being compelled to pay real money to the measly news papermen for it-money that should have gone to the poor bondholder, his
 numerous widows and some orphans.
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

It is rather amusing to see a dem- ocratic paper get so bellyachus, when the democratic primary law does not work out just to suit them. The Will liams News has never seen fit to kick at the present democratic primary law, merely because it is democratic law, yet the News feels deeply griev- ed because the people in the east end Of the county, having the great ma Jority of the votes, both democratic and republican, vote for the people they are best acquainted with regard less of representation. The News knows this is true. A Williams candi- date always gets more votes in Will Hams than he does in Flagstaff and the reverse is true; under the old system, the different parties felt that each section of the county should be represented.
 Even at that, rumors are current now that Williams will single shot one candidate for the office of super visor. What would happen Williams if the east end of the county figured on playing the same game?

BLOWING OUR OWN HORN
 \ FEW HONEST BLOWS

With this issue The Suns circula- tion is increased to 1,500.
 The Sun is not prospectus, but a real newspaper containing real news that happens--not what might hap pen. The Sun wishes to interested sub- scribers who want it, and there is no forced circulation.
 We have an honest right to feel some what puffed up when our circu- lation shows an increase every day in the year regardless of competition.
 The Sun has always contended that a fair price and reasonable profit was just as much the right of the printer as it was of the grocer or the merchant.
 An advertisement in The Sun brings results-foreign advertisers would not use our space if they did not think so, and local advertisers know it.
 The Sun is interested especially in local people, local news and the doings of the things that interest the people who live here.
 The Sun knows that the people know that we are not interested in them from any special religious or political angle-and, we have lost three subscribers and added over 300 during the past five months.
 The advertiser may have his petty likes and dislikes, but-business is business, and results are results, also The Coconino Sun continues to shine and deliver the goods.

WHAT HUGHES WOULD HAVE
 DONE?

I
 The democratic brethren know what Wilson did and they are wondering what Hughes would have done. Anc they ask many questions and arc afraid they are going to get the right answer.
 Here are few for President Will son to answer-he can write, no need to telegraph:
 When did you get married, and why?
 Why are you packing up now to leave the White house next March?
 Do you still want Villa dead or alive, or would you prefer that Huerta come back and salute the flag?
 What would you do if Texas went republican?
 What would you do, President Will son, if your boss came in and sud denly said you're fired?"
 Would you quit and not think of asking the reason?
 Wouldn't you have asked the boss what the trouble was about, or would you have gone to the janitor?
 Do you pay your own bills? If not, why not? Who does? Did you pre- sent Hughes with the facts you have in your possession when the questions were asked Hughes? Or, did you figure that he didn't have the infor- nation you had and that he'd go it blind and get in bad for the lack of information the government had paid dearly to get?
 Now, President Wilson-don't hes itate, what breed of cattle would you feed alfalfa to on the 3Oth day of February?
 Who IS going to pay this two bil- lion dollars the last congress has ap- propriated?
 How did the war tax keep us out of war? Also what war was it?
 How much will it take to keep us out of war the next ten years?
 Who will the United States get in- to war with next?
 Can Mexico succeed in whipping themselves, or will Villa eventually die of old age?
 Now, also, look, listen-how long is the crack in the famous Liberty Bell" and what do you think it would cost to have it fixed?
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

We, the people, are a great large bunch of folks. Some of us vote and many of us talk. We have large li- brary of laws all printed and labeled. Lawyers read them and then wonder what the supreme court will say as to what the laws mean. The average individual is supposed to know the law-but the superior judges and the lawyers do not until the supreme judges have put in few months on the different angles of the proposition. We, the people are guilty and con- demned because we do not know what the superior judges do not know, and what the supreme court of the state are in doubt about.
 Governor Hunt does not believe in the laws that are made, and uses every technicality that the law pro-
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

vides to see that they are not en- forced, consequently what is the use of it all?
 The taxpayer pays taxes, and he thinks he is paying the taxes to see that the laws-whatever they mean, are enforced. He finds that he is mainly paying taxes to have laws passed which do not amount to much if Governor Hunt does not happen to like the way they are applied.
 Law in Arizona today, is one of the best jokes of the season-if you hap pen to be on the right side of the political game.
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

The Cant be done" political dope that the copper press of the state is now printing, can be superseded by few lines of dope from Governor Hunt, to the tune of :"It sure did be did" Geographically Arizona is a great state; but politically Arizona is in a of a state.
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

One of the worst excuses an office holder ever made is in asking ques- tions of some other fellow as to "what he would have done?" Results are what count with the people, not fail ures and questions of what would you have done?" "What did you do?" is the pertinent question that is now be- ing asked President Wilson.
The Coconino sun., 1916-09-29

While the democrats in general do not see any especial gain to the re- publicans in Maine, where two United States senators and four republican republican congressman replace an equal number of democrats, Col.

itures of public moneys under the present state administration. For Equitable Taxation
 We favor an equitable imposition of taxes to the end that all classes of property shall bear their just burden of taxation.
 Against Politics in the School System
 We favor the extension of our edu- cational facilities and to that end we favor more centralized control of our educational institutions in order that greater economy may be ob- tained in their conduct and operation and better results obtained from the money expended in their behalf, and as an important step in this direction that politics should be eliminated from our state educational institu- tions.
 For Prohibition Enforcement
 We favor the strict enforcement of the prohibition law and such addition al legislation as will make it effective.
 An Appeal to All Good Citizens
 Finally in behalf of our national and congressional candidates we ap- peal to all of our citizens who are dis satisfied with the conduct of national affairs under the present administra- tion and who regard with apprehen- sion its continuance during the next four years. To the election of our candidates on our state and county tickets we invite the cooperation and assistance of those citizens who are with the administration of Governor Hunt and who believe with us that the overthrow of the political machine built up by him throughout the state and the inauguration of an era of sound, sensible, efficient yet broad, liberal and progressive policies to be essential to the well being of the people of the state.
