Geary viii Enter Mining

w. Paul Geary, one of the corpora
ton commissioners of the state of
Arizona has been elected to the direc-
torate of the Big Jerome Copper Com
pany recently organized in the Jerome
district.
Mr.. Geary, who is prominently
known throughout Arizona who is in
terested in mining in practically every
section of the state will head the Big
Jerome Copper company as soon as
his term on the corporation commits
sion expires, which will be January
1st.-Jerome News.

WOULD ELECT HUNT

Since the earliest returns of the re-
cent election Mark Dunbar has been
electing George Hunt by every means
prescribed in the statutes and has
worked himself into such state that
he has made the following assertion:
eve wish to make this positive
tatement--every vote was not honest
ly cast and every election board was
not fair and unpreiudiced. We know
of numerous cases of repeating; we
know of instances where every cleo
ton law on the statute was violated
by election boards and where hun
dreds of votes were dishonesty count
ed. Under these circumstances can
any decent person question Governor
Hunts right to ask for recount"
Lots Of decent people voted for Mr..
Campbell and would like to see him
take charge, January list, which he
will, but at the same time they are
not making any serious objection to
recount of the votes and a decision
Of the supreme court on the legality
of ballots cast. In fact, all Campbell
supporters are anticipating a much
larger majority for the man of theil
choice, should contest be filed.

BUCKEYE BANK ROBBED
BY MEXICAN BANDITS

Five Mexicans, believed to be band
its from old Mexico entered the Buck
eye Valley bank at $40 Tuesday, held
up Cashier w. H. Watson, took all the
loose cash on the counter, and in max
ing their getaway, engaged in q
street fight, killing Charles Miner,
owner of the Buckeye bakery.
Tuesday night half dozen posses
were searching the Buckeye valley,
the foothills Of the White Tanks, the
borders Of the ella river, and every
railroad point along the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific main line
within reasonable reach Of the out
laws is being patroled.
Watson was alone in the bank when
two Of the five robbers entered. They
produced revolvers and made him ele-
vate his hands. About that time, E.
]. Hendron, whose store is two doors
from the bank, entered, unmolested
by the other Mexicans, who were
acting as lookouts. 1t was Hendron's
purpose to make deposit, but when
he saw Watson with his hands in the
air, he ran back to his own place of
business and Immediately notified the
Buckeye telephone central. Hendron's
appearance apparently frightened the
robbers, who delayed not to inspect
the safe, but seized all the cash they
could get their hands on-amountin,
to about $4,000, according to Presi.
dent George P. Brown.

POSSIBLE APPROACH OF PEACE

The death of the aged Emperor of
Austria may have an effect upon the
duration of war. His personality,
more than any other force, has held
the Austro-Hungarian Empire to-
gether, with it's nearly three score of
races and dialects and all the conflict
ing interests and activities which
spring from such a situation. Now
that he is gone, the Hungarians who
have always been rather loosely at
tached to the dual monarchy, may
take it into their heads to move for
peace on their own account. Such a
step would have an immediate and
important effect upon the military
operations, especially in the Eastern
theatre of the war, and would doubt
less contribute to an earlier. termina-
ton of hostilities than if all the an
tagonists maintain their present rigid
attitude for a finish fight. Such re-
suit would produce tremendous eff
feet in this country-which may mean
that Franz Joseph's death has a
larger significance for us than we
now think.
The Coconino sun., 1916-12-08
NO REAL GOVERNMENT IN
MEXICO

In the ultimatum which the Presi-
dents commissioners presented to
their Mexican colleagues at Atlantic
City, there was constant talk about
"the Mexican Government" what it
is expected to do and not to do.
Strictly speaking, however, is there a
government in Mexico There is some
sort of de facto organization down
there, whose First Chief is recognized
as possessing some kind Of authority
which he is unable to exercise over
any extended portion Of Mexican ter
ritory; but as for a responsible gov
eminent in the accepted sense Of the
term, there is none.
After three months Of yachting,
dancing, holidays and festivities the
Mexican-American joint commission
has signed a protocol providing for
the withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico within forty
days Of the ratification Of the protoc-
oil, provided that at the time the state
Of Chihuahua is not in condition to
endanger the American border" When
the gentleman not long ago called
"the George Washington Of Mexico"
Pancho Villa, read that proviso, a
wicked smile he smole.

IN BAD WITH CHAPMAN AGAIN

The usually reliable Coconino Sun,
with big scare heads announced last
week that our local agent, H. J. Fouts,
was to be the successor of o. II. John
as Santa Fe agent at Flagstaff. We
don't blame the Sun for wishing this
announcement as true, as that gen.
tleman and his estimable family
would be a valuable addition to the
city, but Mr.. Fouts is perfectly con-
tented to be registered as a citizen of
Winslow, and he likes his job of boss
ing the Santa Fe railroad from that
point.
We are sorry Flagstaff is losing Mr..
John, but they cannot try to make
good their loss by stealing our fellow.
Winslow likes Fouts, and Fouts likes
Winslow, so there you are. We have
some citizens here that we would be
glad to wish on Flagstaff. Winslow
Mail.
That there Teller Chapman is al
ways accusin' us Of unseemly things.
If we had known that Winslow was
so sorely in need Of good citizens we
would never have given Mr.. Fouts the
position, but things usually come out
right, and now that we have Mr.. Stahl
as an agent and citizen we will back
him against Mr.. Fouts and likewise
appoint him special deputy to see that
none of those citizens Winslow wants
to wish on us get off at the Flagstaff
depot.

REAL VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


Minneapolis Tribune-Unless the
announced results are upset by official
count, that armor plate plant should
be located in New Hampshire.
Plano Qn.) News--Free trade

America.
Seneca Falls IN. W Press---It's q
good thing to be kind to the beggars.
We may want to borrow money Of
them some day.
Eastern (Pa.) Free Press-Secre-
tary Baker announces that it was a
mistake-he will not resign. Those
late returns certainly did stiffen the
Democratic officeholder's backbone.
Bluefield wv. Va.) Telegraph-In-
stead Of being placed in the Cabinet
some of those who are urging their
claims for recognition should be
placed in the refrigerator.
Houston, (Texas) Post-Senatoi

of a few thousand votes in California

A REPUBLICAN HOUSE

There is no dispute that the country
indorsed the Wilson administration by
substantial margin in the popular
vote and by enough in the Electoral
College to give it second term.
Neither can it be denied that the Pre-,
sident was stronger than his party by
thousands of votes.
There is ample evidence, however,
that the country did not accept the
record Of the Sixty-fourth Congress
with the same appreciation that it &C
copied Mr.. Wilson's record and the
Republicans probably will come into
control of the House Of Represent
atives as a result. 1t is a most I'M
usual thing for President to win the
election and fail to carry the Con-
gress with him in victory. Certain it
is that there were reasons for wiping
out Democratic majority Of twenty
one in the House that do not appear
in hasty analysis.
When Wisconsin sends complete
Republican delegationto Congress and
retires such experienced legislators as
Representative Burke, Konop and
Riley; when New Jersey rejects Soul
ly; Chicago turns down Tavenner; In
diana Cullop and Kline, and Massa-
chusetts returns Representative Tink-
ham, Republican, from a district nor
mally Democratic by 10000, there
must be sound and substantial rea-
sons.
Manufacturing centers which pros
per by reasonable protective tariff
turned against the Democratic tariff
for revenue only. More progressive
centers rebuked the extravaganza and
waste that the rivers and harbors bill
and the public buildings and lands act
only partly concealed. Then agar
there was some resentment against
the constant heckling which big bust
ness has had to undergo at the hands
of the Sixty-fourth Congress.
Control of the House means muci
to the Republican party. 1t may in
itiate and put through progressive
legislation and it can block much rad
ical legislation that emanates from
the Upper Branch of Congress undeI
Democratic control.
Thus it may be possible for the Re
publican party to take the husting'
four years hence and wage cam
paign backed up by accomplishment
1t may not have to depend solely upol
critical program such as featured
the campaign of the past four months
but may present to the people a con
structive platform of useful legisla
ton, initiated and put on the statdt
books by the G. o. p. control in tn
House of the Sixty-ffth Congress-
