SMASHING PRECEDENTS.

The political life of President Viii
son has been on continual round Of
unprecedented events-and even to this
day, the presidents are being smashed
The events leading up to his nomina-
ton by the Democratic party for the
presidency are well known-and even
by Wilson himself, if the accounts are
to be taken as true, that he apprised
his delegates in the early rounds OF
the balloting at Baltimore that they
could consider themselves released.
President Wilson may be man OF
destiny-for it seems that he has sur
mounted obstacles which appeared inn
possible and impenetrable. His first
step after the inauguration on Marcl
4th, 1913, was to deliver his message
in person to both branches of con-
gress, something which had not been
done since Jefferson. With all of his
actions there seems to be the essence
of common sense, which may be di-
rectly attributed to his wonderful sue
cess.
The latest precedent broken is the
hour of cabinet meetings, a minor
thing for the American people, al
though one which shows that Wilson
thinks, and after thinking, he acts.
The dispatch which tells of this, says.
President Wilson today changed
an old custom when he decided
that the meeting hour for the cab
net should be 2;30 p. NJ, instead
of II a. m, every Tuesday and Fri
day, The change was made so the
president could keep the mornings
free for other engagements.

Governor Harris has endeared him
self to the Georgia soldiers by his visit
to the border. Many charged the yes-
eran governor with Interior motives
when he was so kind to the troopers
in Georgia-but now since the election
is over, he has gone to the borderland.

Aviation at the State Fair

To those who have watched avi>
ators soar into the clouds and have
wished for an opportunity to do
the same, the announcement that
Harvey Crawford, the Pacific coast
aviator, will be at the Arizona State
Fair, Nov Is 10 18th will be an
agreeable surprise. A surprise be-
cause this is the first trip Crawford
has made away from California as
he was instrucGing the Aero Squad
ron of the state, the last anyo
heard Of him, aud an agreeable
surprise as he is the builder and
owner of a passenger carrying
machine that he will bring with
him on this trip.
The time has past when we were
contented to take our thrills at Sec
ond hand. To stand on fair
grounds and watch the aviator fly
away. Now we wish to experience
the same sensations that have be-
come so common to him. The easy
rise, the rush of air as the machine
spirals up and up. The heave of
the machine as the pilot ''banks'
stiff1y to the right or left. The
earthward swoop as We decend and
finally to enjoy the looks of admi-
ration from our less nervy friends
as we step from the machine.
Crawford has been carrying pas
sengers on the Coast for the past
two years and, be it said to his
credit, be has never had a serious
accident of any kind. He is ad-
mitted to be the most careful avia-
tor of the Aero Club of America
that is when he has passenger.
When up by himself it is differ
ent matter. Then he is the worst
"fool flyer" in the country. He
loops the loop, hys up-side~do
does the side slip and jelly roll and
every other stunt that any other
aviator has ever attempted. These
things he will do at the Arizona
State Fair when he is not carrying
passengers.

COMMUNITY LOYALTY

Have you ever stopped to con-
slder the fact that loyalty to com
munity interests is the highest
type of patriotirm? Show us the
man who is loyal and true to every
interest of his own communitv,
and we will show J ou in that same
individual a man in whom his
country can reoose absolute con-
idence in any emergency that
calls for his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who
is careless and uDconcerned for
the n,erests of his cOmmun nity, is
more than apt 10 display the same
spirit of Indifference toward his
government or his state should
any serious danger threaten either.
Oae IF the most commendable
traits Of the old Scotch Highland
ers was their loyalty to their own
clan. Good or bad, right or
wrong, the clan bad their first al
leglance. The life and services of
each member were always cheer
fully placed at the disposal of the
clan.
Try to imagine an entire state
composed OF innumerable commu
mites welded and cemented into a
symmetrical whole, each striving
to excel the others, but each, from
it's own local loyalty. developing a
broader and deeper loyalty that
reaches out and embraces the
whole.
Utopia, you say? BY no means.
Merely what could and would be
the result if we could only be
brought to see that we owe allo-
glance to our own people, but that
the prosperity is in no wise
detriment to Us, but rather a help;
that if each community would de-
velop itself to the ptmost-physi-
cally, mentally and morally-none
would need be envious OF others,
neither would any need do aught
to detract from another's interests.
Let us develop community 10y
alty to the full-the highest posi-
BILE form Of patriotism. Casa
Grande Bulletin.

By an appropriate order,
the State Corporation Com
mission has granted permis-
sion to the New States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Com
pany to sell its property to
the Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Com
pany. The deal between the
two companies will be con-
sumated and become effective
November 1st, and involves
a total purchase price OF
$4,000, to be paid by the
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company to
the New State Telephone and
Telegraph Company. The
latter company has served a
district in Coehise county
radiating from Wilcox, Eto-
gether with an exchange in
the town of Wilcox. The
operation of the New State
Company has not b e e n
wholly successful from a fl
nancial standpoint; the pur-
chasing company will be able
to operate the lines at a lower
overhead expense, and as
sures the Commission that it
will improve the service and
make needed extensions and
engagements as the business
may demand. Patrons of the
Company will, after Novem-
Der 1st, have the advantage
Of direct communication with
the Mountain States ex-
changes which now cover
the entire state.

Which Will the Public Believe?

The liquor organizations, thru
libtral purchase of advertising
space in newspapers which have
not yet freed themselves from
liquor domination, are trying TO
fool the public into believing that
p ohibltion Is q failure frt,m every
point of view. Especially are they
attacking the law in the newer
prohibition st ,tes, even, IN their
desperation, quoting 2I year old
newspaper articles TO bolster up
their arguments Their mis-stare-
ments, however. are. SO fragrant
that hey are overreaching them
selves. The advertisement claim
ing "increase of arrests in Den
yer, for example, is fatty contra
dic'ed by the facts as set forth by
Denver officials. Mayor Speer is
we'll known as friend of the
vets, yet, says the Denver Ex-
press, he "has beeu startled at
prOhibitiOn's effect in decreasing
crime" E" Safety Manager Bally
Quoting further from the Express)
said that he had been convinced
of prohibitions benefits through
the Jail reports. The county Jail
used to house from 200 to $50 pris-
oners daily; it now houses one
third that mum Der. The city Jail
used to house about 100 prisoners
night; it now harburs about one-
tenth that number. There were
II prisoners in the county Jail
Thursday and IS in the city Jail.
"The two officials believe that if
liquor can be entirely eliminated
from the city, crime will be re-
duced to surprisingly low mini

The Mohave Daily Miner

The Mohave Daily Miner
says: "There is a growing
sentiment among the base
metal operators of the mining
states of the union, partlcu-
larly Arizona and New Mexico,
that Congress should be asked
to provide them relief from
the extortion practiced by
the smelter concerns. The
Miner is sincere in the belief
that the sentiment referred to
is well founded and that
something should be done to
afford the relief desired. This
relief cannot be secured by
agitation, in which chambers
of commerce, boards of trade,
banks or large mercantile eS-
adjustments have any voice,
as the influence of the Smelt-
ing concerns, their SubSidla-
ries and kindred companies,
is such that they penetrate all
of these arteries. Neither is
there any help to be expected
from the ore sampling works,
as there are no longer any in
dependent ore sampling firms
or companies, and all, with
out exception, are either crea-
lures of, or tributaries of the
smelters. Furthermore, there
is a question whether many
newspapers or magazines in
the entire United States are
prepared to take a stand in
this matter and show up the
robbery to which the ship
pers are subjected.
9" independent, in refer
ence to ore sampling works,
is used advisedly, for the rea-
son that with very, very few
exceptions all the large base
metal mines are either owned,
controlled or interviewer with
the smelling interests, and
therefore, it is the independ-
ent and usually small ship
per, that will have to fine

The Value of Tungsten.

In spite of the fact that Tung-
stem market Is very low at present,
the owners Of tungsten properties
should not be discouraged, says a
report from the Arizona State Blu.
reau of Mines. When tungsten
was $11o per unit, it was entirely
too high, and naturally the bottom
could be expected to drop out OF
the market. When the drop came,
it was sent below normal, but
tungsten will become a standard
metal, with fixed price of from
SIS to $50 per unit, which means
"a considerable value per ton of the
60 per cent concentrate
1he furry for tungsten has
called attention to its advantages,
and there are many increasing
uses. The high price was largely
caused by the demand for use in
high speed steel. 1t is now found
that there are immense advantages
in the use Of it IN steel rails.
Tungsten is to become one OF
the staple industries of Arizona,
although it is dormant at the
present time.
