A MAN OF EXPERIENCE.

It is fortunate for the Senate and the country that in these times of in tensive food conservation and the can ming we have, in the person of Sen ator Bert M. Fernald, of Maine, a man who has been in the canning bus mess for many years, and is a for mer president of the National Can ners' Association. MT. Fernald is able to give his colleagues most val uable information on the supply of cans, tinplate production, yields of various products suitable for canning, and the technique of the industry. Mir. Fernald knows most of the can ners of the country, and is satisfied that there is no combination among them to influence prices. Goods are sold by them in carload lots, and in Maine have to be disposed of before freezing weather sets in. The sales are negotiated usually in the early spring, before the pack commences, and the uncertainty of the crops of ten causes loss to the canners.

LEvEE SYSTEM BAD.

Representative Bertrand H. Shell of New York has given much time and study to water transportation and the prevention of floods in the rivers of his state. The experience which he has gained there he has ap. piled to the Missippi River flood control problem, and has become con- vinced that the waters of that great drainage area will never be brought under control until work is started at the head waters of the many streams that flow into the Mississippi. Mir. Shell holds that the levee sys- tenn tends simply to create the power for destroying the very effect sought to be obtained. In other words by raising the levies the cur rent is increased and the embank- ments are endangered in correspond ing degree. Mir. Shell believes that the only practical solution of the question is to impound the flood wa ters at the source by means of res ervoirs, a system which he contends would take far less time to complete than the present levee plan.

AID FRONTIER SETTLERS.

There are about 7O,OOO,000 acres of land in the state of Nevada, of which 56,OO0,OO0 are in public ownership. That fact leads Congressman E. E.. Roberts, of that state, to use his best endeavors to have adequate appropri- ations made by the Federal Govern ment for the eradication of pests from the large cattle ranges, and not leave such work to be performed entirely by the inhabitants of that section of the country. One great source of danger to the Western farmer is the preva- lence of rabies among the coyotes. Many have died as the result of bites from that animal, and in one district the school was closed because of the danger to the children. MT. Roberts believes the Government owes it to the settlers to take immediate steps to remove the menace which con fronts them.

DRAFT THE IDLERS.

Representative Royal c. Johnson, of South Dakota, has introduced a bill directing the President to draft into the military service all able-bod- jed citizens between the ages of 20 and 30 who cannot prove that they are engaged in some useful occupation at least 10 months in the year. In MT. Johnson's opinion the passage of such a measure will put to work thousands of men who are not only slackers from military service, but who do not render any real good to. society, and are at present largely supported by the efforts of others. The bill has been referred to the Military Affairs Committee.

NOT THE SAME METHOD.

According to the Washington pa pers the President took the Pope's peace note with him as he voyaged down the Potomac on the Mayflower for his usual weekend trip. He was expected to mediate upon his reply; this being, as writer in the Wash- ington Herald pointed out, the way in which he dealt with the sinking of the Lusitania and other incidents of the war. Our recollection is not ex- actly like this. AS we remember it, the Lusitania was sunk on the seventh of May, 1915; and the President did not leave the capital for any voyage of meditation until the tenth of that month, when he went to Philadelphia to address gathering of newly-nat- uralized citizens, who, in common with all the rest of the world, were astounded to be told that the United States was "too proud to fight"

PROCLAMATION OF LABOR DAY Executive Department,
 State of Arizona.

Following the custom which sets aside the first Monday of each Sep tember, as a day upon which labor may be commemorated by means of parades, meetings, festivals and other manifestations of respect and honor to its dignity and accomplishments for tn, benefit and advancement of man kind:
 I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, under the authority in me thus reposed, do hereby declare and proclaim as a legal holiday, Monday, September the third, nineteen seven teen, to be duly celebrated as aforc- time.
 In this most critical hour in the history of the United States and the civilized world, the hopes and fears of humanity center inevitably upon the attitude of the forces of labor toward the achievement of that high est standard of efficiency, without which Victory is impossible.
 Therefore, this Day affords most fitting and timely opportunity to take stock of the resources of brain and hand, to consider unselfishly how best we can substantially evidence our un- failing support to those who will, at that very time, be mobilized to do battle for those principals of liberty, equality and fraternity which have blessed American Labor and borne it upward to it spresent mighty status.
 Arizona's responsibility to do her part in the present exigency lies equally upon every member of our citizenship. Shall we not bury such indifferences as molest our present in dustrial progress, upon which so vi- tally depends the success of the con- flict, straining our every nerve and sinew, without thought of self, profit or propaganda, until we shall have won that to which we strive-world- wide democracy.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. (SEAL) Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 27th day of August, A. D., 1917. (Signed) THOMAS E. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of Arizona. Attest:

1T one of six squadrons of cars in as many different sections of the coun- try, pounding the roads sixteen hours every day so that the tires may be tested under actual road conditions such as are experienced by the aver age motorist.
 Arizonans, absorbed in their com- mercial pursuits or bent upon wrest- ing the mother lode from the fast ness of the hills are prone to forget that the state possesses other at fractions besides copper, cattle, and gold. Few places are as fascinating to the tourist as that 120 mile region of mighty canyons, grotesque noun tain peaks and sheer precipices be. tween Globe and Phoenix.
 The Apache Trail is especially rich in historic interest. A few miles out one comes in sight of Apache Kid Mountain where once lurked the fa- nous desperate of that name. Fur ther on in the dark inches of the mountainside one sees the Tonto Cliff Dwellings discovered by the Spanish explorer Francisco .Vasquez da Coronado in 1540.
 For miles the road skirts Roose- welt Lake, the largest artificial lake in the world. Leaving this body of water one soon finds himself in the midst of a scenic paradise bearing the most fantastic of names. In this region is Mormon Flat where a party of Mormon immigrants was massa- cred in the early days. From Nor mon Flat passes in rapid succession Whirlpool Rock, Black Canyon, and then Apache Gap. It was on this spot that Lieut.. Lawton of the Sev- enth U. S. Cavalry defeated the Apaches in 1886.
 The next point of interest is Su- perstition Mountain. Mysterious in aspect and weirdly carved against the sky, it was feared by the Indians, who held ceremonies and sacred dances at its base every'year.
 It is indeed wonderful trip, one never forgotten--bringing forth a gasp of delight at every turn. The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company is planning to mark the trail with its guide posts, such as are used on most every road in the country. This will prove great help to tourists, and should result in a noticeable increase in traffic upon the Apache Trail.
 The Grand Canyon, that scenic wonderland that defies description, was also visited by the Goodrich Tire Testing cars.
 Through every type of road, both good and bad, was travelled for 16 hours every day, the tires held up very satisfactorily, coming through with hardly mark.

FLAGSTAFF WILL ENTERTAIN.

On Monday, September third, tEe day set aside to pay due respect to the moving force of the world-labor, the citizens of Flagstaff will invite their neighbors and friends to gather at an old timers picnic and barbecue on the city reservoir grounds.
 This is a commendable undertaking and especially so, in view that it will also be an informal reception for the Coconino county boys who have been certified as qualified for military du- ty. It will be an opportunity for the old timers to get together and renew acquaintances as we'll as reorganize the pioneer association.
 Let Flagstaff make September third day to be remembered in the history of Coconino county by assist ing those in charge of the affair.

HOW THE KAISER DEFINED
 AUTOCRACY.

An article in a recent issue of the Lawrenceburg (Tenn.)) Union con- tains an interesting quotation from q pleading in a suit in which the em- peror of Germany sought to recover money from the estate of former German subject who had died in Mis- souri. The plaintiff alleged "that he is the absolute monarch of the king dom of Prussia, and as king thereof is the sole government of that coun- try; that he is unrestrained by any constitution or law, and that his will, expressed in due form, is the only law of that country, and is the only legal power known to exist as law"
 There you have autocracy self-de- fined. "Unrestrained by any consti- tuition or law! The antithesis of au- tocracy is democracy. In democracy there is no monarch, but a public ser want instead. The public servant in a democracy is restrained by tonsti- tuition and law" Whenever the public servant begins to disregard the re- constraints of constitutions and law. to that extent he endeavors to subsii- ute autocracy for democracy. By that quotation from the Kaiser's petition in lawsuit in Amer, ican courts, the Lawrenceburg Union has made an interesting and valuabl', to the discussion of the war and its problems.

The federal draft law was made by sections and very often the sections failed to fit other sections. It is a wonder that the regulations have banned out as we'll as they have, con sidering how many new amended reg ulations were ground out every few minutes since the draft law was pass ed on May IS, last.
