Democracy's Handicap.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is essential for Americans to remem-
struggling with the same kind of politi-
clans who are with US in Washington,
politicians who at q of national
peril think of their own political fortune
and of the power and OF the prestige
which they deem their right. They do
not represent the nation. In France re-
cent political maneuvers have discour-
aged both the army land the people and
weakened to some extent the fine conf
dence excited by the recent victory at
yerdun. In Paris one hears 1t frequently
said: we have two enemies: the Ger
mans at Noyon and the politicians at the
Palais Bourbon"

Let Us Make
Business Unusual

Business is activity. Economy is
not slowing down. Economy is
speeding up and finding new uses
for everything. Throughout the
war the wise men of England have
striven to maintain the industrial
structure of the Empire intact de-
spite all difficulties, and their slo-
gan is Business as Usual"
Now America has entered the
war. The hope of the world is on
us. That hope from without and
our hope from within must be re-
allied by true conception of what
is meant by economy. Remember
the parable of the man who buried
his masters money so it would be
safe and whose fellow used his
masters money to make an in
crease.
Economy is doing the best you
have with what you have in your
self, in what you own, and what
you can influence.
1t means a joining of hands, fig
uratively, of every man, woman,
and child in this great country so
as to work together that our great
resources shall be activated and
moved by our common patriotism.
1t means more doing; more in
telligent spending; more distribu-
ton of information of how, where,
and when goods may be had of all
kinds to meet every human re-
quirement. 1t does not mean
boarding: it means sowing, spend
ing; for the business soil of the
American nation has been scarcely
touched.
Let us awaken to the truth of |
economy and make Business "Un-
usual. You may not wear the
khaki, but you can "come across"
Spend money wisely-but spend it. |
Which means, use it.

MRS. FRIER RETURNS

Mrs. Tom Firer is home after a tour of the state as Grand Matron of the Eastern Stars. Her inspection of the various chapters has given her an excellent opinion of the work being done. On last Saturday night her afficial visit of the Flagstaff chapter made the twenty-frst in number vis- ited. An unusual number were pres ent and the different phases of the work reviewed by the Matron brought forth much favorable comment from her. At the conclusion of the cere- monies the local chapter presented Mrs. Frier with a fragrant cluster of American beauties and an artistic hand painted bowl.
 Mrs. Frier's words of appreciation were most fittingly and graciously expressed and after her response the well planned and delicious banquet concluded the evening.

NEW BOOKS IN LIBRARY

There's tempting array of new books soon to be ready for you at the Library.
 Some arrived this week but more are to follow. In fact some we or. dered will not be off the press until late in May--so we tried to give you the best you can see. Go up and see how fine some of the recent ones are and realize that you helped to put them there! We ordered goodly number of children's books and doesn't that please you.
 The children are the ones who love a good library and why not cater to them? Each afternoon you can see the children climbing the stairs, eager to read and so we had them in mind when we ordered. But there is something to suit every taste just look around and be convinced.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE

All over the country a strenuous effort is being made to have Memo rial Day Service of unusual merit. The program here promises to be one we'll worth hearing and will be given at ten o'clock, Memorial Day morning at the Orpheum theatre. The union service for the Sunday proceeding will be in the Episcopal church, Rev. Tragitt, Jr., giving the sermon.
 All veterans of any war are invited to attend and it is scarcely necessary to add that all military organizations are urged to be present. We made mention last week of contributions to this worthy project will be gratefully received by Mrs. Keller, member from the Woman's Club. .

Germany is hungry. So very soon may England be. Germany is men, aced with international disruption. So possibly is Russia. Facing east ward, Germany shares it's problems with Russia. But at least the allies have the advantage that each of them has only one problem to face, while Germany has them both at once. If Russia can compose it's political diffi- culties, it will have no difficulty feed ing it's people. If England can feed it's people it has no difficulty in maintaining political order. Germany has the double task of facing revolu- tionary disturbances among a hungry people.
 These evidently are the forces of war. On the western front the two sides calmly explode every few days more powder than the American armies burned in the entire civil war. Sometimes, like mass play in foot ball, the heavier sides scores a few yards and tries for touchdown.

WOMENS CLUB MEETING


 The Woman's Club met for its last session of the club year on Saturday at Emerson hall. The day was pro. pitious enough for good gathering but other interests made evident the fact that the majority of club mem bers had turned aside from club duties.
 Mrs. William Babbitt presided and after roll call and the singing of America" called for reports from various departments and standing committees. In taking up the fact was revealed that the ordinance on removal of garbage for which the committee from the club had worked so hard to secure, had never gone in- to effect. Upon vote by the mem- bers present it was agreed that set clement of the matter might be made by talking with the Mayor, who kind ly consented to give his ideas con- corning the working out of the ordi nance.
 The members are loath to take up matters of civic improvement if they do not meet with fuller adoption than the one under consideration.
 Nevertheless tho club feels confid- ent some favorable action will result. These have been busy days for all and perhaps little patience is required.
 New names for club membership were voted upon and pleasant greet ing by wire from our absent presi- dent, Mrs. Griffin, turned the thoughts to her we'll rounded and completed year of club work.
 The new year books were presented and received much favorable com ment.
 Mrs. Keller read most instructive paper on "The initiative and refer endum" and after the singing of "Star Spangled Banner" the club adjourned.

Registration of men subject to military service under the selective draft will proceed with an enthusiastic rush, so soon as the government is ready to have it begin. It will be con- scription only in the sense of selec- tion,, so far as the masses of men are concerned. Few indeed will have to be dragged into military service. It will be, in effect, 8 volunteer service, with the government exercising dis criminatory powers as to who shall or shall not be called to the colors in the army.

Those who resided in Ohio when Jo- seph B. Foraker was first candidate for governor of that state, will recall the story that his supporters and ad- mirers told of how, in his early boy hood, because of straitened circum- stances, his mother fitted him up with garments made out of sacks. His political opponents took this up, with sneers, dubbling him Little Brooches Foraker. But this helped to elect him governor, as it impressed the elector- ate that Foraker sprang from the common people and prided himself upon that fact. a# n Faa.

There in no question but what American ingenuity will solve the submarine question as w. L. Saund- CTS, of New York City, chairman of the naval consulting board, announced that the board had forwarded to Washington plans for dealing with the submarine problem which, it was believed, had solved the problem sue cessfully.
 'It looks as though the submarine problem has been solved" MT. Saund- CTS said, mot only in theory, but on the strength of practical tests on the Atlantic coast" ......
 Mir. Saunders was unwilling to go into further details.
 For several months about 35 inven- tions a day have reached the board. Some were selected and tested.
 A few survived and there are the ones, MT. Saunders said, which will be employed against the submarines. MT. Saunders said the plan involved the possibility of land operations. The scheme, he indicated, included a mili- tary offensive against the Kiel canal.
 The use of electricity is involved.
 The naval operations would, under the plan, be directed toward bottling up the North sea as effectively as Great Britain has blocked the English channel.

At this time when the national emblem is in everyone-s mind the Flag Code must be of interest to every patriotic American. Here it is:
 "The American flag is the symbol of the brotherhood of man. It stands for courage, for chivalry, for gener- osity and for honor. No hand must touch it roughly. No hand may touch it irreverently. Its position is aloft to float over it's children, uplifting their eyes and hearts by it's glowing colors and splendid promise, for un- der the stars and stripes are uppor- tunities unknown to any other nation in the world
 "The government commands the people to honor their flag. Men and boys should uncover as they pass the vivid stripes, representing the life of brave men, and the stars which shall shine on forever. It must be raised at sunrise, lowered at sunset. It is not plaything of the hour. It is a birthright of privilege and integrity. It may not be used as staff or whip or covering. It shall not be marred by advertisement nor desecrated upon the stage.
 "It was born in tears and blood. It was baptized in blood and tears. It has foated since June, 1777, over a contry of benevolence, refuge and progress. It must always be carried upright. To bear the star spangled banner is an honor, to own one sacred trust.
 "It is the emblem of freedom, of equality, of justice for every person and creature as it floats unvanquish- ed, untarnished over the open door of free education"
 The foregoing is worthy of serious consideration. It is something that every good citizen should know and bear in mind. There is no flag equal to the Stars and Stripes and we can not hold it in too great respect.

INCONSISTENCY

We note that the county of Navajo has made a move in the right direc- tion by voting road bond issue of $160,000 and then right on top of that comes the announcement that some body who was overlooked in city ap- pointments has started movement to disincorporate the Town of Hol- brook. Holbrook is rather an ancient burg and has been that way alto gether too long. It is surrounded by a wonderful country, unlimited re- sources and just woke up few weeks ago long enough to incorporate and place itself in a position to make a wonderful race toward progress and substantial growth They are no longer satisfied to walk in COW paths and pasture their cows on the side walks as a means of moving the front lawn. They have passed ordinances to dispose of homeless dogs that sere- made the weary business man every night, and they have decided that the place to raise pigs is in the country and not in the kitchen. Holbrook is a prosperous community of progressive people and should have the advant- ages of a clean, sanitary modern city which is possible only through cooperative effort as an incorporated city. Being a wide awake, growing town we trust that the many prog ressive citizens of Holbrook will not let few disgruntled property own CTS bluff them out of their start in the direction of a modern, beautiful little city.
 There are always those in every community who are eternaly fighting anything that is toward progress and advancement. Municipalities nor cities are not made by this class of citizen ry and Holbrook should stick by the twentieth century method of conduct ing the business of a municipality.
