HARD SCHEDULE BUT

In anticipation Of strenuous sea

any interference in their schedule by
the delay of the opening of the school
in September. or from the quarantines
being laid in the nearby States, in re-
CARDS TO the opidemic Of intantllc
paralysis. the candidates for the VIII
mington High School football team,
will hold their first practice of the
season at Washington Heights, this
afternoon.
Captain How" Young. veteran end
of the High School eleven. issued the
call for the practice, and expects
large number Of students of the school
to respond. He Is anxious 10 ascer-
tain as to the quality of material that
he will have to pick his team FROM
as he has in front Of him one Of the
hardest schedules that has been
tackled by a Cherry and White team
for some years.
To round out big eleven will be a
proposition hard 10 solve. and realiz-
ine this. Captain Young has started
to work early in preparing the team.
Light practices we're held in the
spring and proved beneficial TO the
players. especially to those who have
not been developed in the game. but
who have the ability with the proper
training.
Some old material Is still on hand
and around It will be formed the new
candidates. Players who will be bach

MARYLAND, in Newark Then come
games with such strong teams as Haver
ford. stevens. Dickinson, st. Johns,
Galladet and Mt. st. Mary's.
The only chance for Coach McAvoy is
in developing some of last years scrubs
and in the new material that may come
in this month He has met many oh
stacles at Delaware before, however. and
those who know him say Mac will
come across again with a team that will
hold its own for the blue and gold re
gardless OF all these set backs.
I'm the scrubs of last year there is
some promising material that may be
developed. "Chet" Smith looked good
for back field position early IN the
1918 season, but injuries put him out Of
the running time after time. and he
really never had an opportunity to
show his worth. Lauritsen, Meyers. and
several others showed some ability last
year, and they may produce the goods
the coming fall.
Coach McAvoy plans to get the mer
out as early as possible, and II is likely
that some of the candidates viii b,
given some work before college opens.

The most important office to
the people of WinsloW is that of
Justice of the Peace. as he is the
officer who has the enforcement
of the laws of the state. He
should be a man who firmly and
conscientiously believes in obey
ing the laws himself, and there
by set a personal example to
compel others to obey the law.
No man can execute the law with
equity and justice to the commu-
nifty who himself has no regard
for the law.

To fill the vacancy on the re-
publican ticket for the office of
county recorder, caused by the
resignation of Miss Eleanor Hen
derson, the county central COM
mittee has elected Miss Sophron-
ia Smith, of Snowflake. The
short time left before election
will not permit the lady to make
as thorough a canvass of the
county as the other candidates,
so it will be necessary for indi-
vidual republicans everywhere,
and particularly in Winslow tc
get in the game to help Miss
Smith in her campaign.

In boosting the candidacy Of
Mr.. Larson, the democratic can
didate for county attorney, the
Holbrook News says one of his
duties is being legal advisors for
the county officers. We have no
quarrel with our friend Larson,
but if he holds to the opinion he
is the legal counsel for the coun-
ty officials that one sentiment
should over -Whelmingly defeat
him at the coming election. Mr..
Conwell, the republican nominee,
has the right idea of the duty of
The county attorney. He is the
attorney for the taxpayers, and
his duty is to protect their inter-
ests, and compel county officers
to obey the law. The tax pay
ers are his clients, and he draws
his salary from them. That has
been the trouble during the past
two years. The county attorney
has been the legal advisor of the
county officials, and no one was
looking after the legal rights of
the tax payers. Mr.. Conwell
should be elected to give the peo-
pie little protection during the
next few yeals.

A democratic spell-binder is
truly adept and wonderfully log
ical. He pleads with his audi
ence to defeat Mr.. Hughes for
President because of some of his
court decisions in certain cases
while a member of the supreme
court; and in the next breath he
pleads with the people not to
vote against Judge Ross, the
democratic candidate for su-
preme judge, because he render
ed the personal use decision"
that has destroyed the effective
ness of the prohibition law. A
republican judge must be held to
strict account for decisions rem
dered by court of which he is q
member, but democratic judge
is immune and must not be criti,
cized. Consistency, thou art g
jewel! But democratic speakers
are not fond of jewelry.

With all his brilliancy as an
orator, and his bombastic boasts
of accomplishments as our u. S.
senator, the record shows that
the only bills Senator Ashurst
has succeeded in passing were
two or three private claims of
insignificant Importance. Dur
ing his five years in the senate
Mr.. Ashurst has simply been the
democratic phonograph grinding
out oratorical symphonies full Of
glorious promises but lacking in
specific performance for the edi-
fication of his audiences. Ari-
zona is too young a state to be
called upon to furnish a chautau-
qua entertainer to amuse the
senate galleries. when we so sad
ly need a worker and a doer of
things. This accounts for the
cordial reception given Judge
Kibbey wherever he goes in this
campaign, as he has a record of
things accomplished and duty
faithfully performed.

Secretary of War Newton D..
Baker, of the Wilson cabinet, in
a speech made at Jersey City last
week defending the administra-
tion in it's policy of non-inter-
ference in Mexico, said: "The
soldiers of the American revolu-
tion looted churches and drove
ministers from them on their
famous march to Valley Forge. :"
And again, at another point in
his speech, he said: Washing
toms soldiers in the march to
Valley Forge stole the silver ves-
sells out of the churches and sold
them to buy drink. They were
just as bad characters as the
Mexicans." Has the Wilson ad-
ministration been so hard press
ed for a defense of it's policies in
permitting American citizens to
be killed and : American women
to be raped by Mexican bandits,
that it has become necessary for
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet members
to go about the country bias
pheming and defaming the char
acters of our revolutionary he
roes to whose deeds of valor we
owe our American liberties? Such
sentiments from one of the high
est officers in the government is
little short of treason to the men,
ory of the soldiers of Washing
ton, who with stole courage en-
dured hardships and privations
that the colonies might be freed
from the CALLING English yoke.
Benedict Arnold, if living, would
probably applaud the utterances
of Baker, and it may meet the
approval of Wilson, as up to date
he has not repudiated the senti-
ment expressed by his secretary.
1t has been apparent for some
time that England has been die
tating to this country what our
foreign policy should be, but the
most radical pessimist never be-
lieved England would insist on
our administration officials pub
licly defaming the memory of
the soldiers who kicked King
George out of the colonies.

Friday, October II, 1916.

One of the Los Angeles papers
says there is a scarcity of Holsters
IN that city, but a review of the
police records and court proceed
ings would indicate that the crop
of Holsters in that city is abun-
dant as ever. The only trap
needed to catch the old fool lob
sters in that city is a dainty bit
of lingerie, or an abnormal ex-
posure of silk hosiery. These
old buffers are easily convinced
they are real gay Lotharios until
they find themselves being black
mailed or cited as defendants in
breach of promise suits.

AS a sample of the proposed
initiative amendments to be vot-
voted upon at the general cleo
ton is one creating the office of
state architect at salary of
$4,000 per year, besides the money
required for office up-keep and
assistants. There are a few
states that have a state architect,
and almost without exception the
office is cesspool of graft, as
an investigation of the matter
will disclose. Just why does the
state of Arizona need a state
architect? What would he do to
earn his salary? There is no
prospect of any great building
boom of public buildings, and
about the only business he would
have would be a political tout
for his particular party machine.
1t is a useless added expense to
the taxpayers, with no benefits
accruing.

Ira Landrith, the prohibition

Ira Landrith, the prohibition
candidate for vice president, in
a recent speech in Arizona, said;
ANY officer of the law in this
state who violates his oath of
office and refuses to do his sworn
official duty, is a common liar
and blasphemer, and ought to be
turned out of office and be denied
the right to associate with re-
spectacle people" +" Of course
this does not apply to Navajo
county, as none of the laws of
Arizona are applicable here.

During the twenty-one months
Sheriff Newman has been in office
he has collected and turned into
the county treasury nearly $500
as license tax on billiard and
pool tables, and with the collec-
tions for the last quarter now
due the sum will total nearly
$4,000. The records disclose that
Mr.. Newman is the only sheriff
Navajo county ever had who col
lected and turned in a single pen
ny from this source. The law
has been on the statutes since
1901, and makes the sheriff liza
BILE on his official bond for failure
to collect this tax. Mr.. Woods,
the present democratic candidate
for sheriff, held the office for six
or seven years Immediately pre-
ceding Sheriff Newman, and GER
tainly there were as many bill
lard and pool tables in his time
as there were the next year when
Sheriff Newman took control.
What was the present board of
supervisors doing that no de-
mand was made for this license
tax money that probably amount
ed to $4,000 or $4,000, when they
checked over the office when Mr..
Woods retired from it, and ifi
he had failed to collect the tax
why was a suit not instituted
against him and his bondsmen toI
recover? If they had discharg-
ed their duty in this case it would
not have been necessary to raise
the assessment on the Winslow
Mail in order 10 get 81. SO more
tax to squander in riotous living.

According to the Snowflake
Herald, O. D. Flake, the demo-
cratic candidate for representa-
tive, sent to Montgomery Ward
for his campaign cards, because
he could buy them fifty cents
cheaper than his home newspa-
per charged. Mr.. Flake ought to
go to the same place for his
votes. A man aspiring to the
position of law-maker for his
state ought to have patriotism
enough to patronize his home
town.

The less the corporation com
mission of Arizona talks about
what they have accomplished for
the people in regulating public
utilities the less smell will arise
from that odorouS commission,
especially if their adjustments
are on a par with the work they
did for Winslow. They regulat-
ed the electric light company
with an array of figures that
would battle an expert mathema-
tician, but in actual force in
creased the light bill of the con-
sumers. They permitted the gas
company to donate $25, 900 in
stock to the promoters, and gave
the company permission to issue
$50, 600 of 6 per cent bonds on
the proposed plant before a dol
lar of tangible property was in
sight, and this in face of a show
ing made to the commission by
the gas company that the plant
complete would cost only $35. :
900. Belts is qualified" is the
secretary of the commission that
slipped these things over on our
people, and now he asks them to
vote for him in November so he
can put in the next six years reg
ulating public utilities in the
same old way. Belts on the COM
mission will simply be the stool
pigeon of Jones, and the only
kind of regulation we will have
will be of the Jones variety.

The republican nominee for
county superintendent of schools
is Miss Hattie Webb, of Pinedale,
who has been a successful teach
er in this county for several
years, and is well-ftted to dis
charge the duties of this office
satisfactorily to the educational
interests of the county, and with
credit to herself. Even her op-
ponent, Mr.. Peterson, will have to
admit the correctness of the
statement, as Miss Webb obtain
ed her education and graduated
from the Snowflake academy dur
ing the time he was at the head
of that institution. With Miss
Webb as county superintendent
we can assure the teachers of
this county they will not be call
ed upon to spend $25 each out of
their meager salary to attend a
teachers institute called to meet
in Phoenix, at the behest of the
state fair management. Miss
Webb ought to get all the votes
in Winslow regardless of party.

Puss Ia Boots.

No collection OF fairy tales Is com.
plete without "Puss In Boots" and It
Is interesting to know that It has
amused the children Of hundred gen
eratlons. The various versions Of the
story differ materially, however. It Is
believed that the Zanzibar version is
the original. There the man is un.
grateful to the clever cat and Is pun
ished by awaking to find his prosperity
q dream. In France. Italy and India
the cat Is swindler and the Marquis
Of Carrabas Is his accomplice. In Rus.
STA and Sicily "Puss In Boots" is u
moral story and the cat helps the man
from motives Of gratitude. When
Cruikshank Illustrated "Puss In Boots
he rewrote It and introduced the moral
motive Of gratitude in the cat, but the
American version does not point out
any motive. Why should the cat help
his master to title and richest In our
story he is q weak fellow who does
nothing to help himself. and we feel
that the cat Is throwing his energies
away on an idler.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
