was call from the Spanish instructor

He was the same who had served

Last week the supreme court
Of Arizona handed down an opin-
ion that the operation of a
parimutual betting machine at a
"hoss" race does not constitute
an offense under the gambling
statutes of this state. Just what
a parimutual betting machine
may be is beyond our knowledge,
but we take it that it is some
patent arrangement that permits
a fellow to lose his money on a
horse race just as easily as the
old-fashioned plan, but compels
him to do it decently and in
order. Phoenix is already figur-
ing on an early spring race meet,
which would indicate that some
people are convinced there is
money to be made in parimutual
machine betting if the curbureter
works and there are no blow
outs. Let us wait and see.

Friday, : December 20, 1916.

William Jennings Bryan, as
the leader of national democracy
in his second race for the Pres
idency, had as his shibboleth
anti-imperialism, and bitterly
opposed the extension of colonial
possessions because the republi-
can administration had acquired
the PHILIPPINES and Porta Rico.
But now the democrats in Con-
gress are considering the appro.
priation of $25, 100000 to pur-
chase the Danish West Indies.
Democratic statesmen ought to
get together in their policies.
The Winslow mail., 1916-12-29

We are in receipt of a copy of
Senator Ashurst's bill creating
an additional federal judicial dis
trict, which is now in the hands
of the judiciary committee, and
will soon be reported out for final
action. The new district created
will be called the Northern Dis
trict of Arizona, and will embrace
the counties of Apache, Navajo,
Coconino, Mohave, Yavapai and
Maricopa. The feature of the
bill that will be most interesting
to the democratic statemen of
Arizona will lay in the fact that
a lot of new jobs will be created
for the faithful. The creation
of the new district will provide
about twenty nice, comfortable
places for the boys who have toll
ed and borne the burdens in the
heat of the day, perhaps.

Mr.. Thorwald Larson will as
sumo the office of County At
torney for Navajo county next
Monday, and we trust that in the
discharge of his duties he will be
guided only by a conscientious
purpose to do his full duty as a
faithful public servant, and never
be actuated by personal favorit-
ism or malice in prosecuting
criminals or rendering legal ad-
vice to the county officials. Pro
stituting the office to reward
friends or punish enemies is a
crime against decency and good
citizenship.

Next Monday Messers. Owens
and Freeman will take up their
duties as members of the board
of supervisors, and the taX-pay-
ers are hoping that under their
administration the criminal waste
of the taxpayers money will
cease, and that Winslow will at
least be given ordinary decent
consideration in the expenditure
of the road and bridge fund.
During the past two years this
section of the county has been
totally ignored, Notwithstanding
several committees of business
men have waited on the board,
begging and beseeching some
small consideration.

The contest over the COVER
nor's office took a new turn last
Saturday when Gov. Hunts at
torneys withdrew their objec-
tions to the issuing of a certifi-
cate of election to Gov-elect
Campbell, and in return Camp
BELLS attorneys agreed that the
survey of ballots could continue
and waive the contention that
the proceedings were started pre-
maturely. Under this new ar
rangement Gov. Campbell will
take the oath of office the first of
the year and hold the office until
the contest is decided.

Ono Of tho first duties of thu

One of the first duties of the
new board of supervisors Should
be to call for the full printed pro-
ceedings of the board of super
visors of last year, and have them
attached to the demands for pay
ment. And then it should be
carefully measured up at the rate
of "25c a double column inch",
just for the p urpose of having
the record show that the county
business has been done in a busi-
ness way.

The county engineer and two
of the supervisors made a trip to
Taylor last week to see if the
bridge over Silver Creek was
still in place. This is the bridge
the supervisors ordered built by
day labor to furnish jobs for
some of their pets, and it got the
habit of falling down every time
the false work was removed.
The last time the thing started
to cave in they cribbed it up with
timbers from one abatement to
the other, which is all right so
long as there is no water in the
creek, but we are fearful of re-
suits when the spring freshets
come down off the mountains.

The love and admiration of
Mr.. Braxton of the Holbrook
News, and County Attorney Jor-
dan for the editor of the Wins
low Mail is so fervid, that the
English language is only adequate
to express their minds when
they collaborate in their writings,
which they frequently do for
publication. Last week they
devoted a full column of the
valuable space of the News that
is worth "25c an inch double
column measure" extending the
fluctuations of the season, and
closed their classical panegyric
with the following touching
sentiment of their personal re-
gard:
"We know you to be a liar
when you charge steal in the
printing contract, and we should
relish the opportunity of proving
you a cowardly liar in a court of
record. Hence we say to you,
Mr.. Chapman, file your complaint
of graft in the printing contract
and prove, if possible, that you
are not also a cur.
Who, may we ask is the other
cur?

The principal trouble with
craftsmanship in this country is
the mixing in of more or less of
partisan politics. The Pres
ident's peace note is a striking
example. Germany notified this
country she would consider a
peace parley to try to arrange a
basis to stop the war, and the
President passed the note to the
several allied powers, expressing
the hope they would express
some basis on which they would
be willing to end the war. The
amount of criticism being visit
ed on the President for this
simple act is truly surprising,
and it is all the outcropping of
partisanship with every element
of real broad craftsmanship elm
mated. Mr.. Wilson was not
making peace overtures to the
warning factions, but in submit
ting the German note expressed
the hope the allies might make
a counter statement on which
peace might be considered.

MAnnIe.Pie Order.W

The expression ''in apple-pie order
is traced to Puritan times, to the good
housewife Hephzibah. Every Saturday
the good woman baked two or three
dozen apple pies, which were to last
her family through the week. These
she placed in her pantry, labelling one
or more for each day. The pantry,

The Thrift Habit.


and woman who has what we
term good character, has it and
keeps it by virtue of the habit Of
thrift in some form. 1t need not
be the thrift of money, but thrift
of time, opportunity, health, the
broad thrift-the wise use of
what one has," lies at the root
of every life that can be called a
success.
The employe who learns to
manage his personal affairs so
that he saves money, will use his
employers time and material
wisely. The man who is careful
about little things will be careful
about the larger ones. If he
keeps careful record of what he
spends, he will be careful in in
vesting his money. Big traits of
character manifest themselves
in little acts.
AS the man of thrift saves his
money, and sees his bank account
grow, he becomes interested IN the
proposition of owning home;
for every normal man aspires to
own his own freside. Homes
bring contentment, and content
| ment better workmen, whose
minds are on their tasks. And
when he owns his home, he be-
, comes interested in his town, the
tax rate, the public improve
mepts, the paving, lighting and
sewer problems of the communi-
/ ty. AS a rent payer, he has no
interest in these things. Once
he becomes interested in these
things he becomes a better
citizen-a real asset to his town.
The man who has a bank account
is able to stay with a concern
over a dull period and live on
, reduced wages if need be, while
the one without must seek other
employment and often take what
he can get. According to statis-
tics, SO per cent of the wage
earners spend every cent of their
earnings, and appreciating how
wasteful and costly this tenden-
cy is, some employers are now
forming savings clubs of various
sorts to make it easy as we'll as
! profitable for their men to save
money.
If, as an employer, you were in
need of a man and had two ap-
plicants, one of whom was
down and out" and had moth
ing saved, and the other could
show you a savings bank book
with a weekly or monthly
deposit, however small, you
would without hesitation select
the saver, because you know he
has the faculty of self-control.
The bank account is evidence
that he can live within his means.
He can deny himself. He can
save.
Go into a bank and ask for a
loan. Show that you borrowed
money before and paid it as you
agreed, it may be but a dollar a
week, and you get the accomoda-
ton. Go into a department
store and ask for credit. Show
the credit man that you bought a
bill of goods, piano, phonograph
a house on installments, and
kept your payments promptly
and up to the minute and you
are Immediately rated a safe
credit risk.
| You never will appreciate how
much this thrift habit will do for
you until you try it out. You
may be careless, irresponsible,
Indifferent, wasteful; but if you
get the thrift idea and practice
it consistently, it will give you a
thrift character which is an asset
to any man in any station in life.
