There are many advantages of
a home in WinsloW in preference
to Flagstaff, and not the least Of
them is that we don't have to
have the city council pass an
ordinance to compel the property
owners to shovel the snow off
the sidewalks. And this is some
job in Flagstaff where they get
three or four feet of snow every
week or ten days. In Winslow
we have very little snow, and
what does fall melts off before
the householder can find the
snow shovel.

Once on a time when the old
settlers of northern Arizona
were prattling babes Fred S.
Breen of the Coconino Sun was
in the forest service, and he had
a fellow working for him named
Dick Hanna. The association of
Hanna with the brilliant mind of
Breen, who was learned in many
things and full of sage advice
that oozed from every joint, had
a beneficent effect on Hanna.
He later moved to New Mexico,
changed his name to Richard
Hanna, and commenced practic-
ing law, and last week he climb
ed on the supreme court bench
of that state as it's chief justice.
And now Breen thinks he is en-
titled to most of the credit for
the honors that have come to his
former employe, and p'haps he
is. Who know?

The press dispatches bear the
sad tidings that Admiral Dewey,
the hero Of Manila bay, is slow
ly passing away at his home in
Washington. Nearly twenty
years have passed since the news
electrified this country that
Dewey had sailed into Manila
bay and destroyed the Spanish
fleet without the loss of a single
man, and in day the then little
known naval officer was hailed
as a nations hero, and the name
of Dewey became familiar to
every school boy. His name will
always always find a place in the
history of this nation.

A national suffrage organiza-
ton known as the Congressional
Union, which on several oc-
casions has openly insulted the
President of the United States,
are now engaged iu picketing
the White House grounds, bear
ing banners that are intended to
be humilating and insulting to
the President. T he United
States is no place for the mill
tant sufragette, and the tactics
of the congressional union will
do more to discredit woman's S
suffrage than be of any material
assistance. There is a local
branch of this organization in
Winslow, but We are sure they
had no idea at the time they
joined the organization that it
was to take on the element of a
militant demonstration, and they
should all resign their member
ships. Insulting the President
is not popular sentiment with
Arizona women.

The passing of the buck" as
to who is responsible for the coal
shortage is one of the pleasant
past-times now with the mine
operators and the railroads. The
latest pass is the claim of the
mine operators that local dealers
refused to lay in a supply of
storage coal during the summer
as usual, preferring to save their
money. We do not know how
this applies to dealers outside of
Winslow, but we do know that
our dealers were trying all sum-
mer to get their usual supply of
storage coal, and were unable t.
get enough to fill the orders of
their early fall customers. And
while on the subject, another
commendable feature with our
three dealers, Notwithstanding
the shortage of coal, the price
was not advanced a single penny
and they all worked together ir
the distribution of the coal receiv.
ed to see that no one suffered.
We realize that the ordinary Goa
dealer gets very few bouquets
either while living or after he is
dead, but our coal men are en-
titled to a bunch of posies big
enough to gladden. the heart o1
a June bride.

The bill in congress to reduce
letter postage to one cent, and
increase the postal charges on
second-class matter should be-
come law. There is neither
law nor equity in the proposition
of permitting newspapers and
magazines to send their publica-
tions through the mails at the
present rate of one cent pound,
when it has been proven beyond
a doubt that the initial cost to
the government to perform the
service is several times that
amount. Publications should be
willing to pay at least somewhere
near the cost of transportation,
and not make it necessary for
the government to take the profit
on letter postage to make up a
deficit on second-class matter.
Congressman Randall, of Califor-
MIA, in a very able exposition of
the injustice of the present pos
tai regulations, quotes one in
stance where single corporation
is now publishing fifteen trade
journals, and their total receipts
from subscriptions is approx
mately $3.50, 900 per year, and
their receipts from advertising
$4, 100000, and they pay for
postage $40, 900, and the actual
cost to the government for hand
ling the publications is $570, 900,
which is practically a donation
of $500,O0O a year the United
States makes to this corporation
for the privilege of handling the
several publications in the mails,
First-class letter postage at two
cents an ounce shows clear
profit every year to the govern
ment, and it will be self-sustain-
i..g if it is reduced to penny
postage. The people are entitled
to this benefit, and it is an in
justice to tax them for their use
| of the mails that a surplus can
be accumulated to meet the
deficit caused by handling news
papers and advertising mediums
at such an enormous loss. If a
newspaper or magazine cannot
exist and pay a reasonable pro-
portion of the cost of transport
ing it through the mails it
should supend publication, as it
evident there is no crying de-
mand for it by the public. The
people are entitled to penny
postage.

The United States supreme
court has clearly defined the
meaning of the Mann white slave
law in their desicion handed
down last Monday in the cele-
brated Camenitti-Diggs case
from California, in which they
affirmed the verdict Of the lower
courts sentencing the two men
to terms in the penitentiary.
The arguments of the defense
was that they did not take the
two women into another state
for commercialized vice, but
admitted the immoral conduct
charged in the complaint. The
court holds that the Mann law
was passed to stop the practice
of transporting women from one
state to another for immoral
purposes and includes personal
escapades. The dissenting opin-
ion of the court held that such a
broad application of the law open
ed the door to blackmail, which
is undoubtedly true if man
wants to place himself in the
position to be blackmailed. He
now knows what the law means,
and if he is fool enough to be
caught by some designing female
let him suffer the consequences.

Taxing Mines.

For several months past dur
ing the campaign John Dunbar's
Weekly and the WinsloW Mail
were not treading on common
ground, but now that the election
is over Mr.. Dunbar is getting
backwhere the Winslow Mail can
agree with him in some of his
economic propositions, especially
on the question of taxing mining
property. In his last issue he
takes our view of the question of
the mine tax, that the mines
are digging out and depicting
our mineral wealth every year, -
and they should be compelled to
pay in full measure, for the day
will come when the mineral
wealth will all be removed.
The value of railroad property
increases with every year. as
portion of the earnings go back
into physical betterment of their
properties, and they will be with
US paying taxes until the end of
time. They are not robbing the
state of any of it's natural re-
sources, but are active agents in
developing the wealth of the
state. The same rule applies to
the farmer, stock-ralser and
merchant, but not SO with the
mines. The products of the mine
are the natural resources of the
state, and millions Of dollars of
ore are taken out every year and
shipped beyond the reach of the
taxing power of the state.
The mineral wealth of the
state should be q heritage of the
people for all time, and some
legal method should be devised
whereby the ore shipped out
of the state should be compelled
to pay a substantial production
tax of not less than ten per cent
to go into a permanent university
and school fund for the benefit
of the state, in addition to the
regular assessed taxes levied
yearly. This fund in the years
to come would produce magniti-
cent income to defray the ex-
pense of the educational insti-
tutions of Arizona, and in small
measure give some benefits to
future generations of the vast
mineral resources that have been
taken from the state. Whether
such a law would be constitu-
tional we are not prepared to
say, but it would be only fair
and just to the state.

been appealed to the Supreme
Court, the question of whether
Jamaica ginger is a beverage,
or can be used as a beverage,
will be decided by that court.
There are quite number of
people who do not believe that
Jamaica ginger can be used as
beverage, but when people ad-
dicted to the drink habit resort
to it's use, as well as to lemon,
vanilla and other extracts, and to
patent medicines, such as Hostel
ters' Bitters, Peruna, etc., for the
reason of its alcoholic contents,
in the eyes of the law it should
not be sold by druggists or gro
cerymen.
If the prohibition law means
anything at all, it means total
abstinence from the use of al
coholic drinks of all kinds. If it
does not mean that. then it
should be wiped off the statute
book.
The means used to secure pat
ent medicines containing alcohol.
by pretending sickness, is des-
picable to say the least, and a
druggist or groceryman would.
perhaps, find it hard to deter
mine the real intentions of a GUS
toner for such goods. Probably
the best plan to follow would be
to not sell this line of patent
medicine, except on a doctors
prescription.

SILAGE FOR RANGE CATTLE

1t is unfortunate that cattle
and sheep men running animals
on the open or fenced range have
not developed areserve of food
to be used when ranges are short.
In almost every district in the
State there are outfit headquar-
ters situated where considerable
corn may be grown on overflow
land. Every acre of this should
be used for there is no better
food for tiding animals over short
range than silage. By purchas-
ing, leasing or homesteading and
farming along with the range,
cattle or sheep business, there is
no doubt that fully twice as great
returns can be secured from the
range business. In the first
place the mortality will be re-
duced. There will be a greater
increase of calves and lambs and
the animals will be in better con-
dition to make maximum use Of
the range after droughts. The
greatest advantage will come
from converting the range which
is injured by overgrazing during
periods of drought. This Injuries
the carrying capacity of the
range and it requires several
years with a reduced number of
animals for it to improve.
In the past the range business
has been a feast and famine prop
osition. When the ra9ge was at
it's best it grew more feed than
there were animals to use it, but
there were frequent spells Of
scarcity and during these periods
the range is sadly injured. If
there were a reasonable supply
of silage available for feeding
during these periods the animals
would be maintained in better
condition and also the range
would not suffer as it has in the
past. 1t is hoped that stockmen
will develop more pit silos, raise
corn and fill them with silage.
At least three years out of five
reasonable crops of corn may be
expected. Droughts do not come
more frequently than this and by
using silage, better cattle can be
produced, as well as larger num-
bers. The silage will keep over
long periods and it will also be
splendid food along with cotton
seed meal and alfalfa hay for
wintering bulls.

WRONG INTERPRETATION

In the account given in last
, weeks issue of THE GUARDIAN
of the trial in the Superior Court
of f. F. Cooper, on the charge
of selling Jamaica ginger, the
following paragraph appears:
Several witnesses gave expert
testimony that Jamaica ginger,
which was labeled on the bottle
SO per cent alcohol, showed on
analysis to contain 81 per cent
alcohol, while a sample of whiskey
that was analyzed showed only
54 per cent alcohol. "
Mr.. Cooper claims that this
testimony did not show that the
samples of Jamaica ginger and
whiskey that were analyzed were
bought at his store.
Several people have inter-
preted this paragraph to mean
that the samples were bought at
Mr.. Cooper's store, which is a
wrong Interpretation, as the
paragraph does not show any
such claim was made by the
prosecutor, and furthermore it
was not published for the pur-
pose of conveying any such idea.
