est distributors of the Jordan car in the United States. They cover Arizona and have fifty-nine counties in Texas to look after for the Jordan factory. The Texas business is handled from the Babbitt establishment at Fl Paso.
 The business is still growing rapidly and it is reasonable to believe it will maintain this rapid growth so long as the Babbitt brothers continue in the business. How vast these interests will become nobody can say or conjecture. The business at present is worth many millions of dollars, but just how much would take the fine hand of the ac- countant to figure. The little store at Flagstaff started it, started a business that has spread out all over Arizona and into Texas. That little store, now the headquarters of the business and a very big store, stands out in the an- nals of trade as one of the best ex- amples of shrewd trading ever set ir Arizona or any other state or country

GROWTH OF SURGICAL
DRESSINGS COMMITTEE

The scores of Durango women who
have been actively engaged in the Ma
tional Surgical Dressings committee
work since early spring will be in
terested in the following clipping
from the Saturday Evening Post:
"The National Surgical Dressings
committee was built out of rags.
Fragments of old linen, old sheets,
cob-webby lingerie, all the millions
of odd lots that ordinarily find q
home in the ash bin were made into
surgical dressings. Today it has one
of the best business organizations of
its kind to be found in the country.
No red tape, no cumbersome machin-
cry. 1t is as mobile and straight
forward as fire horse, and almost
as effective in action. It has reduc-
ed the problem to its lowest common
denominator, with the result that it
gets action, it gets team work, it gets
speed. In the two years Of its hum
BILE exictence the society has sent
over 100000 surgical dressings
to the French and English and Ital-
ian hospitals"

THE LYNcHING AT BUTTE.

THE LYNCHING AT BUTTE
There is one safe and solid ground
of principle upon which every Amer
lean citizen ought to stand. Stated
in it's briefest form that principle is,
LAW AND ORDER; which is the
enforcement of law, the protection of
personal liberty, and the defense of
property rights, against every law
breaker, impartially, by the power of
the government.
Judged according to that standard,
there can be no doubt or equivoca-
tion concerning the lynching of
Frank Little, an l. w. W.leader at
Butte, Montana, yesterday. 1t was a
crime against government and again
st civilization, and its authors should
be promptly and vigorously punish
ed. Any other course than this is
to abandon government to the mob,
and to give justification for every at
tack made upon government by agi-
tators and anarchists.
Everything that may be said is
subsidiary to the main statement that
has been made; yet there is much
that ought to be said. The punish
ment that is due to Little's murder
ers is the result of the respect that
government owes itself, and not the
result of anything that government
or society owes to Little or to men
Of his class. For weeks he has been
| going about the country, voicing his
hatred of government, maligning the
nation that has given him protection,
and urging violence and crime.
Our easy-going American laws tol-
crate such sedition and anarchy und
er the guise of free speech, and too
often public sentiment tolerates or
ridicules such activities, and will not
support the enforcement even of the
inadequate laws we have.
In condemning the lynching, there
fore, let us not forget that lynching
is almost always the result either
of the lax enforcement of law or of
the lack of some law necessary to
the protection of fundamental rights.
Nothing can justify the lynching, or
the minor mob punishment Of depor-
tation, but the lynching or the de
portation does not come until patience
has been worn to the limit by anar-
| chists and demagogues who make it
their business to defy the laws and
to promote crime.-Pueblo Chieftain.
