Resigns His Job.

Col. Fred S. Breen, who has
been in charge of the selective
draft in Arizona since war was
declared, wired his resignation to
Provost Marshal Crowder at
Washington, and at the same
time handed notice to Gov. Camp
bell. Col. Breen has been dis
charging his duties without any
compensation, and was glad to be
of service to his country in CIV
ing freely of his time and ability,
but a few days ago he received a
telegram from the war depart
ment that he had been commits
stoned captain in the regular
army, as that was the rank desig-
mated for states having less than
one million and a half population.
Very laconically Breen wired
back to the department:
Owing to the density of popu-
lation back east have rendered
my resignation to Gov. Campbell
to take effect as soon as possible. )"
Col. Breen rightly takes the
view that to offer him a captains S
commission for services is a
gratituous. insult offered by the
department. He has done just
as much hard work, and been
just as efficient in his labors as
any official in the United States
holding like positions, and to
offer to reward him with cap
tain's commission while other
officers are given higher rank
because they happen to be in
states where the population is
greater is rank injustice. Col.
Breen accepted the position at
the earnest solicitation of Gov.
Campbell, and at a great sacri-
flee to his personal business with
no thought of reward, and he
views the tondored commission
as an insult to the work he has
accomplished.

Buy Red Cross Seals.

Let every man, woman and
child buy Red Cross seals for all
their Christmas packages and
letters. The money derived from
the sale of the seals is devoted
to nation wide campaign against
tuberculosis, a subject in which
all are deeply interested. Ten per
cent of. the money is paid to the
national American Red Cross,
and the other ninety per cent
remains in the state for the sup
port of anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions. Prof. Moore, of the city
schools, who is in charge of the
sale of seals for Apache and
Navajo counties, has placed them
on sale in all the banks and
stores, and every postoffice in
the two counties SO that they can
be conveniently obtained by ev-
erybody, and he hopes the cam
paign will bring in several hun
dred dollars. Let us all do our
bit by buying seals for our
Christmas packages and letters.

Au Revoir.

Mr.. and Mrs. M. Weber de-
parted Monday night on No. Fl
for their new home at San Ber-
rardino, but they could not get
away without being mobbed by
their many friends.
Sunday night the office men in
the master mechanics depart
ment and the shop men who
have been serving under Mr..
Weber, invaded the home for a
farewell visit, and before leav-
ing A. L. Doolittle made a short
talk expressing the kindly feel
ing entertained by the employees
toward Mr.. Weber, and their re-
gret at his going, closing his re-
marks by presenting to him a
handsome 5000 diamond pin that
was resplendant as locomotive
h eadlight.
Monday night the Eastern Star
lodge entertained for Mr.. and
Mrs. Weber at the home of Mrs.
Chas. McCauley. where most
delightful evening was spent un-
til time for their train to depart.
Light refreshments were served
during the evening. AS a spec
ial token of affection to Mrs.
Weber the Eastern Star present
ed her a beautiful cut glass vase.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weber fully ap-
preciate the many kindly ex-
pressions coming from their low
ed friends and co-laborers, as
was abundantly testified by their
eloquent silence, and their tears
that flowed unashamed.

Eighteen More Men to Go.

Under the last corrected fig
ures of the selective draft board
at Phoenix it is found that eigh-
teen more men are required from
Navajo county TO Eli liUr full
quota under the war board ap-
portionment, which represents
the final fifteen per cent. No
call has yet been made for the
men, but it is expected almost
any time. Our local board should
do a little investigating on their
own account to see if Navajo
county has been given credit for
the many recent enlistments. In
Winslow alone dozen men have
enlisted within the past ten days
and are now in training camps,
and probably enough enlistments
have been made in other parts of
the county to exceed the num-
Der required by the selective
draft board. Navajo county is
patriotic, but it is not necessary
for her to give more than her
just proportion of men.

the delinquent taxpayers in the

"All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" In recognition
of this fact Winslow has always
devoted both time and money to
the support of all kinds of school
athletics. This is more true this
year than formerly as most Of
the patrons of the school know.
These things cost money and
since the appropriation from the
school board is lighter than usual
this year the money must be Sc
cured from outside sources: The
high school play to be given
Saturday night at the Electric
Theatre is an attempt to obtain
some Of this money. Citizens of
Winslow VINO believe in physical
education and high school ath-
letics should come out to see this
show. You will have the salts
faction of knowing that you are
supporting a good cause and you
will also get your moneys worth
of entertainment by seeing the
best show of the season.

One night last week burglars

Get More of Same Dose.

Elsewhere in this issue we pub
lish a notice from the local draft
board that Judge Sapp, and At
torneys Crosby and Jordan. all
of Holbrook, have been appoint
ed advisory board to fill out the
questionaires of the men who
have been registered under the
draft law. There is no objection
to the men selected, but in view
of the fact that over half of the
registrants are residents of Win
slow common courtesy should at
least dictate that at least one at
torney should be a resident of
Winslow for the convenience of
the men. There certainly could
be no objection to Col. Burbage,
our only resident attorney, as he
has never been accused, to our
knowledge, of being an alien en-
emy, a pro-German, or an |. w.
w., and he always votes the
democratic ticket.
If there was any salary at
tached to the jobs we would en-
ter no complaint at the over
sight, as it is the unWritten law
that salaried appointments are
never made from Winslow. The
county money must all be drawn
by Holbrook residents, even to
the extent of appointing a guar
dian for the appointee when that
individual lacks brains enough to
perform the duties of the office.
But where the position is one re
quiring gratuitous service there
should be a little fairness in CIV
ing this city a representative on
the advisory board.

Fixed Budget

It is his belief that the state should have a fixed budget and live within it's income. His policy would be to limit legislative ap- propriations to the approximately certain in come, and then see to it that the various de- partments are so conducted as to live within practical business budget. In other words, he would direct the business of the state on the same basis and principle as he conducts the affairs of his bank or any of his other business concerns.
 He believes that the people want this sort of administration of their affairs, and these ideas and pledges are the basis of his plat form

 Later President Lincoln. whom we understand better as the years roll by, made this statement:

And that dark cloud is coming from Rome It is filled with tears of blood It will rise and increase till its Hanks will by flash of lightning, followed by fearful peal of thunder Then a cyclone such the world has never seen, will pass over this country, spreading ruin and desolaton from north to south. this is over, there will be long days of peace prosperity.

Politics Thrust on Him

It was in 1905 that the citizens of Anniston began to thrust public service on MT. Kilby and to start him out on career that prom ises to rebound in great achievements for the state of Alabama He had served his time on the board of aldermen for several years and had got enough of city politics to satisfy his craving for glory, if he had any to start with. He had also served as mem Der of the vestry board of Grace Episcopal church, but he had never sought office.
 Anniston along about this time was ex- periencing growth pains, as it were. The city's business affairs were not in the best of shape and there was impending fight that promised to make Anniston dry town. This meant that there would be tussle with the lawless element of the city. Consequent ly the Anniston city builders began to look about for a man who was equal to the emergency. They decided Tom Kilby, and they have never regretted it.
 They thrust the office Kilby, and he began at once to thrust his mind and back bone into every department of the city's of fical life He started to systematizing if nances to building streets to tearing down

Making Prohibition Prohibit

Kilby's first administration as mayor of Anniston was stormy. He kept close to the people, however, and his referendum was the oft-repeated question, Am I right, or am I wrong?"
 You are right" the voters would shout back so he went ahead and was elected for a second term. It was then that he had to show his mettle Saloons were voted out in Anniston in 1907. It was Mayor Kilby's duty to twist the tigers tail He did it with such finish that the scream of Anniston tigers heard all over Alabama. He made a statewide reputation by his enforcement of the prohibition law at time when Alabama as state had not declared for prohibition.
 Just as Kilby had to fight in council to close the bucket shops. even so did he find a divided council on the question of enforc- ing the letter of the law of prohibition. For instance, one day he sent in the name of Harry Shiretzaski, young Jew, for place on the police force. He was turned down. Kilby thereupon made him his private de- tective, and told him he had nothing to do but hunt tigers He made good was later added to the force. and still later made chief. When he was shot by blind tiger few years ago, he was lauded in mass meeting of several thousand Annistonians. contribu- tions having been sent in today from all over the United States to build a memorial to his name His associations with the mayor had imparted to him the Kilby character and backbone and he died for the cause he had been made to believe was right.

unsightly fences, to removing telephone and telegraph poles to the back alleys, to build ing better schools, etc. And as preparation for the prohibition fight that was to come he hooked few links of that remarkable backbone of his into the handle of the An niston bucket shop, whirled it around his head few times, then put lid on it and closed it so tight that nothing else ever went into it. Thus he was pioneer in a move ment that swept all over the country, the bucket shop today being as extinct as was the once well-known "growler"

governor is fresh in the minds of the people and he is now being indorsed by hundreds of persons in all parts of the state as can didate for governor; for he has not been idle since he announced, and now has strong organization at work throughout Alabama.
 MT. Kilby is anxious to apply some of the principles of business to the conduct of the states affairs that he has found practical and workable in his private business.
