NEWS INTERVIEWS
 :. ED HAMILTON
Prominent Stockman Enthus- iastic about Country's Farm ing Possibilities

Early this week the News sought an interview with MT. Ed. Hamilton, prominent Gar land Prarie stockman, to learn his views on the question of agriculture for Coconino coun- ty. MT. Hamilton as a stock man is, naturally, interested in full range privileges and he would not want range ruined by fruitless attempts to convert it into farms.
 MT. Hamilton has a great deal of faith in the agricultur- al possibilities of this part of Arizona. His own efforts at farming were not crowned with distinguished success this year, but he considers himself to blame for the failure more than climatic conditions. He looks at the matter philosoph- ically and will put out crop again next year.
 MT. Hamilton quite agrees with the News that the small per cent of land in this part of Arizona which may be success

NOTHING TO IT

An Arizona newspaper sug- gests that the News criticism of newspapers which have run "whiskey ads" is prompted by "sour grapes. Of course this newspaper knows that there is nothing to this suggestion. Of course this newspaper knows that there is not a newspaper in Arizona which has not been importuned by liquor dealers, to run their ads. Price for ad- vertising has been no object. The newspaper had but to name the rate. It would have been paid.
 It is credit to Arizona newspaperdom that very few newspapers have fallen for the whiskey advertising. The few which have, needed the money very badly, or they have had very little regard for the fair name of the state.
 The News has been offered a plenty of money to carry the liquor dealers ads, but it has refused to accept it. It can live without the blood money of the liquor dealer.
 The News desires it's col umns to furnish an incentive for law observance rather than law violation.
 The apologies of Arizona newspapers for carrying dis reputable whiskey advertising may sound good ii them, but the News doubts if they appeal to their readers.

Fighting Spirit Still There

The result of the general election in sustaining the peace policy of President Wilson has caused many pessimists to be- vail the loss of the old fighting spirit in the hearts of the men of the South and West. The fighting spirit is there all the same; but the men who are to do the fighting see what they are asked to fight for. While they sympathize with those Americans who have suffered in Mexico, and would protect them they see also that if they do go into Mexico they are to make secure the monopoly the Standard Oil Company desires to fasten upon that republic, and to perpetuate the hold of Hearst, Otis, ct al upon the great tracts of land they have acquired "for a song, with jay bird to sing it." Show the men of the South and West some great principle at stake, and they will be found as ready to fight as in 1861-5.- The Oasis.
