An Unobserved Red Letter Day

The management the Arizona democratic cam paign absorbed in it's work perturbed by the inroads that Kbbey and Campbell making, that they overlooked bet have forgotten to observe a Saints Day Woodrow Wilson Day" october 2s yesterday An edic had gone forth from the national democratic headquarters that the faithful should cee brate yesterday not the presidents birthday, because any unusual event in his occurred an october 2S. It was red letter day arbitrarily fixed by proclamation which declared:
 Meetings will be held in every city town and hamlet in the United States; and a message from President Wilson to the people of the nation will be read at each of these meetings This message is to be sort of proclamation of Americanism"
 But meetings have not been held in every city, town and hamlet. For instance, we have observed in the hamlet of Phoenix in town of Tempe and in the city of Kyrene, the day unmarked by un- usual rejoicing by increased volume of devo- tions It was much as other days
 We regret, though that there was not a Woodrow Wilson Day in Phoenix If We had suspected that it would be allowed to go by default should have urged upon democratic friends it's proper cele- bration. We should have hear that sort of proclamation of Americanism" to have learned wherein 1t might differ from other sorts of proca- nations of Amercanism of which the president has been delivering himself for the last two years The presidents Amercanism s expressed by himself in his words well IS in his deeds is Americansm of a sort just anything is a sort of a thing just a bad policy sort of policy. There was "a sort of proclamation of Amercanlsm" by the president in Philadelphia the day tania went down.

A Candidate of Our Kind

Professor II. E. Matthews republican candidate for state superintendent of public instruction has made remarkable record principal of two of the largest city schools in the state. Elected position principal of the Central school of this city in 1914 he demonstrated by his faithful attention to his duties and his interest in children his fitness the respon abilities of executive position in educational work with the result that the following year he was elected principal of the Adams school.
 Professor Matthews management of large educa- uonal unit has been unqualified success His administration of the affairs school has been both popular and effcient-a combination not often found in school work Too often 1t happens that the popular educator is far from efficient or practical while in the notion of many be efficient is to be anything but human. Professor Matthews has been boh he has developed to high degree of efficiency educational organization and he has injected into city school work that genuine interest in children and their needs that is often lacking in our schools

 Editor Phoenix Republican:
 A letter appears in the Gazette from R. F. Putnam, headed, 70 So Sad" and is from beginning to end, what l term the work of a scholarly Ananias. The So Sad."-"Putt" you had an ancester his effusion is. negro minstrel? Sure; Whats his color, white or black? 70 So Sad. ."-"Put' you had an ancestor whose reputation for fighting during revolutionary days stood unparalleled. and he was q man of principle and honor, and a Republican in the full sense of the word. Initiate him, Putt" that the name may not go down to in famous disgrace. So it is absolutely false that there was no enthusiasm and no warm or responsive audience and tat az an orator Teddy is lacking in all things, but principally voice and manner"
 Put" ! seriously ask you, what are you driving at, and what are your pre- varications for? If you are a retired minstrel and feel melancholy there are no objections to your warble of 70, So Sad" and as you say, if Die Wacht am Rhein" would make a better hit, no one will object to even that weary mel ody. But Putt" don't for the love of heaven. and the salvation of your soul don't tell an audience Of six 10 ten thousand people who. to use the words of many, went wild with enthusiasm at the eloquence. positiveness, truth fitness, and forceful advice which Ted dy imparted to as appreciative and in telligent an audience as ever graced a forum in Phoenix.
 Putt" come off the perch I know death is a cruel and dreaded monster either as applied to life or politics. bu there's no lodging it. It's all right fol you to die hard and die kicking, bu missiatements will never prolong life and, believe me. never win vote.

"The Festlval of the Seasons"
story the Beautiful Princess of the Valley of the Moor

The darkness leaves and To 'tis day. The world sun kist.
 Gently the Dawn Spirit danced her way drawing the dawn mist about her and then throwing it farther and farther into the golden light of day. Elaine sat as one entranced and watched the spirit as it went it's way over the hillside.
 Then from all around sprang up tiny blue flowers-dancing to the music sweet; there said the fairy are the little forgetmenots. Shall I tell you the story of the forgetmenots?
 The Story of the Foreetmenots once upon a time there was a young queen who had beautiful daughte"-the queen always dressed l her little daughter in blue (for blue means truth in the Fairy Kingdom) and bound her hair with strands of gold; now this little fairy loved the dew drops and lovely morning. She woulc rise very early and go out i into the garden and watch the beau tiful dew drops on the flowers she called them her mirror-one morn ing she stayed out too long in the garden and mortal passing by saw the pretty blue and thinking it {, , flower stopped 10 pick it. When as he touched it q mortal sprang beside him ufesSed Tn blue. As he gazed at her his heart sprang from him and Inc took the beautiful girl into his arms and started away but as she locke back she thought of her mother anC tearing a piece from her girdle sht stamped it into the ground and into us place sprung up tiny blue for gctmenot with center of purest golG ani dew grop lay on it's pedals and this, said the maiden, I leave fo my queen mother forever and ever.

Elaine's Visit to The Summer Land
 The journey was not long to the Kingdom of Summer Land, but Elaine feared leaving the Spring Kingdom and all it's beauty but when Olympia guided her out into the Summer Land, she could not speak for amaZement. here was such beauty and grandeur. Everywhere a canopy of wondreus flowers and gorgeous coloring, such warmth and light
 The music of the birds, in full chorus and the singing of the water. Surely this was indeed the best of all.
 Here the fairies seated her in a rose ladened grotto and left her with Olympia while they wandered their way out into the meadows.
 Scarcely was she seated when a beautiful fairy appeared saying l am the summer fairy, to me Is given the | privilege of showing you the won ders of our kingdom, and as she | finished speaking a dainty fay came dancing over the green.

Negro Injured at
Mill at PalmerSville

Jess Thompson, a negro en-
ployed at Shannon's stave mill at
Palmersville, narrowly missed
being killed on last Saturday,
when a piece Of timber which he
was working into slaves on the
machine flew back, striking him
in the head. His skull was
fractured and he was rendered
unconscious, in which condition
he still remains most of the time
and his death is hourly expected.
AS soon as the accident occurred
the mill was cloeed down and a
physician sent for. DR.. Biggs hur-
ried to the scene of the accident
and did what he could for the in
jured man. The piece of timber
that struck Jess was a large piece
from the stave bolt which was be-
ing cut into slaves on the stave
machine. Just what caused the
timber to strike him is not known.

Dresden Continues
To Improve.

There is never a time Of the year,
hardly, but that some kind OF
building operations are not IN
progress in Dresden.
Only recently there have been
completed several nice homes,
here, and at this time Mr.. Ed
Fulton has under construction a
handsome $4,000 home, while Mr.
Pete Harris has just completed a
very handsome bungalow on Paris
street. New dwellings have recent
" been builded in the Pinkston adj
dition, east part OF town, while
numbers Of others have made
extensive additions to their homes,
etc.
Mrs. T. M. Little has material
on the ground to erect a nice
cottage on her lot north Of the
place occupied by DR.. Taylor and
family. This will be a nice, at
tractive place, adding wonderfully
to the looks Of that part Of town
Mr.. G. P. Meadows will, we under
stand, begin the erection OF a
handsome dwelling on his (Jeter)
lot, west of the square, and there
are others who contemplate build
ing at an early date.
Dresden is growing!
