BROTHERHOOD OF MAN ON
 JUNK PILE SAYS LEADER

GREAT FALLS, Mont, July 26.- James Lord, president of the min ing bureau of the Western Fedora tion of Miners, addressing the bien nial convention of the federation here, declared that there are TO real neutrals, regarding the war in Europe. He said he himself was not neutral, that the laboring people are not neutral and that the doctrine of brotherhood of man. so much discussed among trades unionists be- fore the war which it was believed would prevent all great wars in the future has been all shot to hell. :" The quoted language being," he said, the expression of President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor on the subject

under Republican rule may easily be magin- ed by recalling the disaster of 1907. He has proved himself better pilot in a storm than the Republicans in an era of profound tran guilty.
 Under his guidance a Democratic Con- gress has written upon the statute books a tariff law which has brought prosperity to every class of the American people. The familiar shibboleths of the Old Guard, the prophecies of impending calamity have be- come the butt of mockery and derision in the light of cold facts. The noisy forecasts of evil are drowned in the Song of the harvest and the hum of the loom.
 He has passed unscathed through crisis in international affairs that would have scared the soul and paralyzed the mind of a weaker charactec Charged with the welfare of hundred million people, whose destiny was exposed to all the cross-currents which blew from the earth four corners, he has maintained peace while giving the world new atd inspiring vision O! the muraI grand eur of the t.,1 Il, jealous of its honor, but de- voted to tho -1;c1ests of mankind:
 In the highest sense he IS the embodi- paent of splendid Americansm. The best traditions of the republic are wrought into the fiber of his being. He loves peace well enough to fight for it, if need be. He has made it doubly clear to all the nations of the New and Old World that the United States covets nothing which is not legitimately it's own. In trying ordeals he has shown that the American people ask nothing and con- cede nothing, except to work out their own destiny under the free institutions which are their peculiar heritage.

THE FEDERAL GOOD ROADS BILL

The people of Arizona, and particular ly those of this section, are grateful to Representative Hayden and Senators Ash urst and Smith, for securing the passage of the Federal Good Roads Bill, carrying with if an appropriation of one million dollars an- nually for the purpose of building Forest Highways on National Forest Reservations this appropriation to be continued for ten years When the conference report tremb- led in the balance the Arizona representatives were in the lead in the fight for maintaining this provision in the bill. In this connec- ton, also our Board of Supervisors IS to be commended for their prompt action in fil- ing report and estimate of the feasibility and cost of the proposed highway between Clifton and Springerville, and the willing ness of the Board to cooperate with the De partment of Agriculture in its immediate construction. While on this subject we should not lose sight of the fact that the proposed highway between Clifton and Mogollon traverses in part the Gila Forest Reserve and undoubtedly scme appropriation from the Department for this purpose may be ex- pected. The Forest Highway between Clifton and Springerville was recommended for construction in the report of the Secre- tary of Agriculture to Congress at the beg gin- ming Of the session and we have every req son to believe that this Highway will be of the first to be constructed under the new appropriation. Without exaggeration the building of the Clifton-Springervile High way will be one of the most important events in the history of this section. In this day of auto traffic it may be likened to the building of new railroad to connect us with the north. With Clifton on the main line of the East and West state highway and the terminal of the North and South Forest Highway between here and springerville, this locality will be on the map with big star.

At the close of business this week County Recorder Rodney Ellis an nounced total registration in Greenlee County of 212S with Cliff ton precinct leading with a total Of 965. In 1914 the total registration was 3300 in this county and Recorder Ellis is of the opinion that the regis tration will not equal this figure for 1916. It will be remembered in this connection that during the spring months a large number of men were employed on construction work at the new shelter who registered in this county and since departed.
 A tabulation of the registration up to date is as follows.

Rumors multiplying thick and fast that another strike IS contemplated in this district, and according to rumor the date IS set for September 7th. We sincerely hope that the persistent rumors are unfounded. This district has scarcely recovered from the i'll effects of the last strike and we under stand that machinery has been provided through regular elected grievance commit tees for the consideration of all grievances, real or imaginary, between employees and employers, and that strike is the very last resort. We expect to see the conservative element among the workingmen of this dis trct write the word vetoed across any strike proposal at the present time.

An example of efficiency and

An example of efficiency and economy in the conduct of office is afforded the County Treasurer S office in Greenlee County. This county has less uncollected taxes than any other county in the State, Treasurer Pickens Anderson having collected over 99 per cent of all the 1915 taxes. In addition to this the Treasurer has so handled the pub lie funds that they earned more interest than those of any county in the State, enough to pay the salary of the Treasurer in this county for the next four years and in con- clusion pleased to state that the ex- pense of running the Treasurers office was less than that of any other county office and less than any other county treasurer's office in the State which pays the same salary. The above figures also apply to the first six months of 1916. Treasurer Picl<ens Ander son has reason to feel justly proud of the showing made in his office.

The State Federation Officials,

The State Federatlon Othc1aIs, Who paid us visit recently, campaigning for the
 big-un' for Governor, were not content in conhning their efforts for Hunt but at tempted to boss the nomination for local county offices as well, even. going to the ex- treme of opposing the nomination of well known union man for a county office. The result of this move, on the part of these self-imported would-be political bosses, caused hare-up in organized labor circles and bitter resentment in other circles over this bold and audacious attempted dictation in local democratic political affairs by rank outsiders

President Wilkerson, of the State Fed eration of Labor, is evidently irnbued with the idea that HE should be accorded the right to nominate the democratic ticket in Arizona from Governor on down, including county and precinct candidates His at tempt to do this very thing in this county, and his implied threat unless his wishes were carried out, proved the biggest boom erang so far this campaign. These hired political agents might just as well under stand in the beginning that this rough stuff won't go in this county.

criticism of President Wilson included
a declaration that the executive had Eek

Col. Roosevelt advocated the repeal of
the Hay military bill and the restora

He cited Switzerland's development as

had no license to practice medicine or

did here was nothing more than he had
been taught at the chiropractic school.
