Governor. We stand for the prescrva-
tion of the integrity of nations so that
there may not be armed beauocracy

Born In Belgium.
Following the states chief execu-
tive was Bishop Meerschaert of Okla
homa City. who told how he divided
his sympathies between America and
Belgium. Bishop Meerschaert was
born in Belgium in lS47 and came
to America in 1872. from which time
he has been engaged in work of this
country. Aftef expressing his supreme
admiration for America and welcom-
ing his countrymen from the stand
point of an American, Bishop Meer-
schaert reverted to the love of his lit
tie Belgium.
Not that | have lost my love for
little Belgium" said the bishop. mo!
The country OF my adoption is great
and We are proud of its greatness,
but we have not forgotten dear little
Belgium. For this reason | was glad
to come today, the day of the inde-
pendence of our little Belgium and l
hope that there will be soon another
independence of Belgium and all ma
tions."
Baron Ludovig Moncheur, chief OF
the Belgium special mission, former
minister to the United States. former
ambassador to Mexico, and one of tho
leading diplomats OF his country, re-
sponded to the double welcome of
Governor Williams and Bishop Meer-
schaert. In an eXtemperaneous talk,
lasting barely five minutes. the baron
gave forth the message of his heart
to his guests.
Tears Came to Many Eyes.
I'VE have the honor of travelling
on the special car of the president
said the haron in modest introduc-
tion. "In that car have travelled
President Roosevelt, President Taft,
and President Wilson, and from the
rear platform of the car have been
delivered many addresses. l wish

THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAW

Americans are a nation of law breakers. But worse than that we not infrequently permit our officials to become prosecutors by means of the law and because of the personal gain there may be in it.
 For example, there are thousands of laws on the national, state and municipal books which are more than stringent enough if reasonably we'll enforced, but they become dead let ters until some one sees an opportuni- ty of making a nice little haul either through fees or through portion of the fine which follows. Then when the opportunity of making money has passed the whole matter is dropped. In practice the thing becomes a sort of legal holdup rather than a means of keeping the affairs of the nation, state or borough running along in a decent and law abiding manner. This kind of thing gradu- ally breeds in the minds of citizens contempt not only for the laws but for officials as well.

The Senate took no chances with Mir. Burleson. Providing money for the continuation of the pneumatic tube service in the big cities, the Sen ate writes into the postal bill the man datory provision that the money must be used for the designated purpose and no other. The application of this statute will be watched; for it will afford an opportunity to demonstrate whether the administration is above the law-as many of it's members have so often tried to make it appear that they are.

The amazing intrigues of the Ger man government and their plans to ali Mexico and Japan against Ameri- ca in war in case Germany forced war upon us, would not have been believed by the American people had the state ments not been backed up by the Pre- sident. The ramificatiohs of the nefa- rious scheme included not only Mexi- co but South American republics as we'll, showing exclusively that not withstanding friendly protestations at all times, the present condition of af- fairs was gradually being brought about step by step as it suited their plans. It is also true that unmapped conditions arose to plague Germany after having declared war, conditions that foreshadow defeat regardless of all the years of preparing, and with reckless, ferocious abandon they have thrown all right and reason to the winds in hopes of retrieving some thing from the coming disaster

It is barely possible that the United States already has some few new en- zines of destruction adapted to com bat the submarine man-eating sharks, if not, it will not be long until your Uncle Thomas Edison, who always has a head full of ideas and who is now putting in his time for the de- fense of Uncle Sam, will have a new contraption that will seek out and electrocute submarines by the sea full.

THE POWER HAT SHOP
 TO OPEN ST. PATRICK'S DAY

It is with great pleasure we an- nounce St. Patrick's day event in the millinery opening of the Power Hat Shop on next Saturday, March IF by Mrs. w. H. Power who has been in this line of business in Flagstaff for the last twelve years.
 The finishing touches are being put in the Bikker building opposite the Coconino Sun office, where Mrs. Pow CT will conduct her millinery business in the future. The building is an ar chitectural beauty and every conve- nience for the display of millinery has been placed in convenient corners.
 Mrs. Power states that she has re- ceived an attractive line of street and dress hats from the Chicago design CTS which show novelty, individuali- ty and exclusiveness in the fullest measure characteristic of this seasons chapeau. Many were conceived by Chicago designers--others are copies of the most successful Parisian styles for spring.
 All in the most favored straws and fabrics and garnitured with flowers, ribbons, wings and novelties; also or naments in beautiful colors.
 The opening will take plpace at 9 o'clock Saturday morning and every one interested in a most lively selec- ton of models are invited to come. Mrs. Power is planning a fancy work exchange that will add much to the interest of all ladies.

NORTHERN ARIZONA NORMAL
 NEWSY NOTES OF INTEREST

Mir. Thorpe has been unable to meet his classes this week on account of ill., ness.
 Several of the students managed to amuse themselves by going jitneying Sunday afternoon.
 Carlton Prather is still on the sick list. He was taken to the Milton hospital Friday evening.
 The Misses Clickener, Adling, Smith, Skilling, and Mesdames Finn, spent very pleasant afternoon to- gether Sunday.
 Quite a bunch of Normal students attended the dance at Marlar's hall Friday evening. Mrs. Beckwith, pre- ceptress of New hall, acted as chape- ron for the party.
 Ariminto Castro and Frances Pax ter are now able to be around without assistance. Miss Baxter still has an Indian foot" however, as a result of a slight operation upon it. The cast for the Senior play has been selected and the production is now under way. Rehearsals are being held regularly. The date of it's pres entation is not yet given out.
 Two brand new and high class drums together with all the traps necessary to go with them have been added to the music department. They are to be used in the orchestra.
 Leo Mulligan has discontinued school. He left for his home in King man the last of the week. The alti- tude of Flagstaff seems to be too much for his somewhat delicate heart.
 Decker Williams, the Normals good natured quarterback, left for Cali fornia Wednesday evening where he proposes to enter the movies. Pres ently we'll see him in some leading comedy roles, no doubt.
 Miss Stemmons very ably enter tained the assembly Wednesday morn ing by reading one of Miss Kelly's stories. Miss Kelly is a contempo- rary of Jacob Riis and writes about conditions in East Side, New York City.
 Students are looking forward with great pleasure CD to the outcome of the quarterly examinations Thursday and Friday. For some reason the usual amount of worry seems to be missing among a greater percentage of the students.
 The time from assembly hour until noon Tuesday was given over to the taking of pictures for the Senior an- nual which is well under way. Pic lures of the four lower classes, the two literary societies, the Senior play cast, the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, and the orchestra were taken. Mir. Dyer of the Stuart's Studio did the work.
 A very excellent birthday party is said to have taken place at the Lam port home last Friday evning in hon or of James A. Jr. The evening was spent at five hundred, singing, and

eating. (Heavy on the eating, so goes the report.) Those present to enjoy the celebration were the Misses Will der, Tracey, Eidson, Frost, Nelson and Melma Douglas, and the Messers Lamport, Beaton, Sykes, Smith, Fur pin, and Charles McGookin.
 Athletics are taking on quite a healty aspect. The ground is steadily becoming more suitable for practice and three different lines of physical education have started into being as a result; namely: Baseball, tennis, and jumping the ropes. To be sure, the diamond is not yet fit for practice but the open space in front of the Boys dormitory is being used to bat flies across. The snow was shovled off the tennis courts some days ago and they are now in fine condition. Jumping the rope is quite favorite pastime and is by no means confined to members of the gentler sex. Saturday night, March 3rd, the last number of the N. A. N. S. Lyceum Course was presented in the Orpheum theatre. The participants consisted of a mother and her two daughters. The company call themselves The Brew CTS. The number was musical through out. Overtures, solos, duets, trios, and so on were abundant in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Several good read ings accompanied by the pianos were also given and greatly applauded. The ladies played the piano, clarinet, vio- lin, and trombone, each with seeming ly equal ability. The two daughters were also very good singers and their solos and duets were both greatly en- joyed.
 Mir. Walker entertained the assem- ply on Thursday and Friday morning of last week. Thursday morning was devoted to a discussion of what he was pleased to term the "Death Trap of the Ages" This trap is nothing less than huge oil deposit in one of the California oil fields and is so situ- ated as to prevent the oil from run ming off but has remained as an asphaltum pit for hundreds of years. Into this pit practically every animal has found its way and once in it could never get out. The imperial elephant 39 feet high has been found in quite numbers and skeletons of other an- imals of all sizes down to the mouse, including one human skeleton have been dug out. Carniverous animals seem to be in greater abundance than do herbiverous ones.
 On Friday morning he gave a re- port of the conditions of the high schools in our state. This consisted largely of a set of fifteen or twen- ty pages of statistics relative to diff ferent points of interest in our high schools of Arizona. It was very in- teresting and instructive.

FLAG FLASHES

The keynote of efficiency is co-ope- ration.
 Flagstaff is too far apart. Let's get together. Conditions are at a critical stage. In the next three years we will either be a virile pro- gressive city or "might have been" It's up to you. If you are one of the (let George do it) kind, and have a strong following you can hurt a lot. But if you are a good live enterpris- ing citizen, believing that there are other men equally honest Flagstaff will forge ahead.
 Right now We should start the auto road to Williams, we should begin a campaign for more paving and we should begin individually to clean mp our premises. Don't wait for George to do it. We need a dentist to care for the school childrens' teeth. We should plant trees. We should start walling up the river de Flag. We will soon have the most beautiful park in the world and it will need fixing up. And above all you must help. If a thing is bad Fix It. If it is good, Boost It. When you hear an old sun shine chaser lying about your public officials, take it as a personal insult. Be an optimist, be booster and you will be grateful at the results.
