guesser. Especially when he
had already been told.
Mr.. Claud Hancock and family,
and Mrs. Jane Knight of Mesa,
former residents of Taylor, are
visiting relatives and friends
here this week.
Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. Elijah
Shumway, a bouncing baby girl.
Last Sunday Holbrook was To
play a game of baseball at Pine
top but failed to keep the date,
Mr.. Clasky received a phone call
to pick up a team from Taylor
and Snowflake. so he gathered
UP all the ODDS and ends of play
ers in both towns to fill the date.
The game went to mock, but
Pinedale was still so jubilant
over the Holbrook game last
month that their spirits were not
phased.

The Good Roads bill passed
recently by congress carrying a
SIS. 900, 900 appropriation will give
to Arizona as her proper proper
tion this year about $71, 900.
The measure as passed will be a
grand thing for the several
states if it is properly expended,
but if the money is to be fritter-
ed away to a lot of pet contrac-
tors as a special graft, as most
of such money is usually spent,
there will be very little public
benefit derived from the expendi-
ture. 1t will pay, as a study in
governmental efficiency, to watch
how the money is spent in Ariz-
ona, and see if the state gets
honest value for the expenditure.

Chas. E. Hughes is not a trir

Chas. E. Hughes is not a trim
mer. He takes a positive posi-
ton on every question that con-
fronts him, as evidence his
speech to a delegation of ladies
who waited on linn to get his
views of a universal suffrage
amendment. He used no "wea-
sci words" in stating that the
suffrage question had now as
sumed national proportions, and
eventually would be an accom-
plished fact, and the expeditions
way to settle the matter was to
have a constitutional amendment
granting universal suffrage.
Mr.. Wilson has been lodging
this issue for the past three
years, fearful his political for
tunes might suffer in the demo-
cratic states of the south, and
the whisky strongholds IN the
north, by any out-spoken declara-
tion in favor of universal suffrage.

There is prisoner in the Los
Angeles jail who confesses to
robbing one or more houses a
day for eighteen months, and in
one of the sensational interviews
for publication now a speciality
with criminals, says he is not a
regular burglar. If he had said
ordinary" burglar no one would
dispute with him.

Dunbar's Weekly says that
Bishop Gardner, of Woodruff, is
one of Mr.. Olney's supporters in
this campaign. Dunbar is get
ting some of his information
wrong. Mr.. Gardner is support
ing Olney, but he don't happen
to be a bishop. He is one of
Navajo county's supervisors,
who has been buying law librar-
les and hiring men to run around
the county and tell the board
how big a bond issue for good
roads could be put over on the
people. Gardner's natural in
stincts are to be honest and fair
minded, but he is a boss-ridden
individual who lacks the courage
to stand for the right.

A Fraud Exposed.

The Arizona Labor Journal,
the recognized organ of labor in
this state, yanks the mantle of
alleged official prestige from the
shoulders of one E. j. Warren.
This Individual has been in San
Diego for several days speaking
to organized labor on the failure
of prohibition in Arizona, pictur-
ing the dire calamities that has
befallen the laboring man., and
declaring trades and commercial
enterprises are experiencing the
greatest slump in the history of
the state. If he was making
these false statements as an in
dividual in the employ of the
liquor interests it would attract
not even passing notice, but he
was posing as the president of
the Arizona State Federation of
Labor and president of the Trades
Council at Phoeniz. The Journal
pulls the record on Warren and
shows he is not the president of
either organization, but a cheap
four-f1usher.
Most all these loud-mouthed
orators who 60 about the country
claiming to be some high official
in organized labor, and preach
ing against prohibition, if chased
to their lair will be found to be
just such frauds as this man
Warren, and they probably are
in the pay of some brewery or
distillery, and wear the fraud
ulent coat of officialdom to give
added weight to their statements
and deceive the laboring men
whom they are addressing. The
only organized labor that was in
jured by prohibition was the bar
tenders union, as the members
all lost their jobs, but even they
did not leave the state, but sought
and obtained employment in
other callings, and many Of these
same men are advocates of pro-
hibition. Warren's prediction
that Arizona will return to the
saloon regime after the fall elec-
tions is the veriest rot. The pro-
posed amendment for local option
will be overwhelmingly defeated,
as will every candidate who is
know to be in favor of that
amendment. The only amend
ment to be voted upon this year
that stands the least show of
winning majority of the votes
is the one that adds more restric-
tions to the present prohibition
law. The good women of Ari-
zona will keep this state dry for
all time.

DIR. Raw LYMAN Wilbur

DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, the
new president of Stanford uni
versity, has issued a statement
on the amount of money parents
should furnish their children in
college that will not tend to great
popularity with the undergradu-
ates, but clearly demonstrates
the new president has the correct
idea of the purpose of college life.
He says "A students principal
business is his studies. He needs
money enough to buy food, lodg-
ing, simple clothes, books,
stamps and the like, and to pay
certain fees and dues, admissions
to a few entertainments, and
special dental and medical bills.
Any money supplied beyond these
simple needs means that time
will be wasted in spending it. A
surplus of money is one of the
biggest handicaps possible for
the youth who expects to be a
good student. There is no need
to supply money for orchids, for
dance parties, or for taxi hire.
The student who cannot be con-
tent to lead the simple. clean, in
dustrious life expected on the
Stanford campus should go else
where"
