A Real Judge

We congratulate Judge Stanford of the Maricopa county superior court upon his decision to throw out Douglas precinct No. 1 in the Hunt-C Campbell gover- norship contest. The evi- dence produced by the Camp bell attorneys proved that frauds had been committed at the election, and the rank ness of these frauds justi- fled the court in throwing out the entire precinct. By the decision of the court Governor Campbell gains 123 votes, Hunts majority being that number on the face of the official returns.
 Judge Stanford's action is especially commendable be- cause it was taken without regard to precedent. It was based on what he conceived to be right and just, and not upon the action of some other court that had at some time in the dim and hay past decided a similar ques- tion.
 In disregarding precedent and in deciding the question according to the evidence, Judge Stanford proved him. self to be a man of brains; also he proved that he could use these brains to think for himself, without first trying to find out how some other judge had used his mental faculties in similar cases.

The Gouernorship Contest

The action of Judge Stan ford, superior judge in Mari copa county, in throwing out Douglas precinct No. 1 in the Hunt-Campbell contest, caused consternation among the Hunt attorneys. Pre- vious to that time they had closed the case for their client, but when Judge Stan lords decision was an- nounced in the Douglas pre- cinct, they immediately made an effort to reopen their case and introduce evidence as to alleged irregularities in the Snowflake precinct in Navajo county.
 Last Tuesday Judge Stan ford listened to arguments of the Hunt attorneys on the proposition of introducing evidence in reference to Snowflake. These attorneys were instructed by the court to produce their witnesses and depositions of witnesses in court next Tuesday, at which time he will decide whether or not he will allow the Hunt case to be reopened.
 Campbell's attorneys have asked permission of the court, in case the Hunt att torneys are allowed to re- open their case, to introduce more evidence of election ir- regularities in precincts al- ready passed. Should this be granted it is possible that every precinct in every county in the state will be investigated before the con test is closed.

HoIbrook People Cordial

While the receptions all along the line have been most cordial, none have sur passed those of Holbrook and Gallup, the last stops of the Ell Paso special on Monday.
 After leaving Flagstaff, where the normal school girls relieved so many of the Ell Paso eXcursionists of their caps, A. w. Reeves collected all the caps of the band boys and managed to put the Ell Pasoans in presentable con- dition for marching by the time Holbrook was reached. We found every automobile in the city waiting for us to take everybody out to the Petrified Forest. It is IS miles out to the forest, but the road is splendid most of the way, and the round trip was made in less than two hours. The El Pasoans came back with some beautiful specimens from the Forest, and found the home people having a good time dancing to the music of the band at a local theater. Even the shows had been dismissed for our coming and every body had a chance, even to the children, to hear the music. --- Special correspon- dence in Ell Paso Herald.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Some of It May Interest You; All

RouaI Welcome Extended


 Holbrook made a reputat tion last Monday for hospi tality which will remain with her for years to come. and which will be of great and lasting benefit. AnC her citizens demonstrated the fact that they are full o1 the spirit of pep, push and progress which caused the El Paso chamber of com merce to plan and carry out an excursion through the states of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The manner in which that bunch of boosters were vel comed and entertained by the citizens of Holbrook left nothing to be desired; it was royal in it's wholehearted- ness, and lavish in it's spon- taneousness. The people of Holbrook do nothing by halves; when they undertake anything they do it as big hearted, generous people do everything.
 Prior to the arrival of the special train bearing the El Paso people, arrangements had been made by a number of prominent citizens of Hol- brook to have the train re- main here for three hours in order that those of the wis itors who so desired might visit the petrified forest. When the train arrived a string of automobiles was in line ready to start for the forest.
 Immediately after alight- ing from the train the wis itors formed in line and, pre- ceded by the military band that accompanied them, paraded through the main business street. The auto mobiles were then filled and the procession, headed by Mayor Scorse in his car, started for the forest. Eff teen cars were sufficient to carry those who wished to make the trip, some of them preferring to remain in town and talk business to their customers.
 The trip to the forest con- sumed about two and one half hours and as one of the visitors expressed it Git is
 most wonderful sight 1
 e ever seen. The band
 nained in town and for
 ore than an hour furnished music for a dance which had been speedily arranged for at the Pastime theater.
 At 5:30 in the afternoon the visitors departed in their special train for Gallup, bearing with them pleasant memories of the reception given them in HolbrOOk.

 industrial conditions in the United States that four labor
 unions, with a membership
 at most of 400, 1000, can die.
 tate the policy of the whole
 federal government.
 Last fall when the foul
 brotherhoods of railway
 trainmen threatened tC strike, President Wilson in-
 duced congress to pass the Adamson 8-hour law. The threatened strike was called off.
 The railway managers brought suit in the supreme court to test the validity of the law, and the case was pending in that court when the brotherhoods decided they would hasten a court decision by calling another strike. The strike was call ed and before the date set for it's commencement the supreme court decided that the Adamson law is constitu- tional.
 The strike was again call ed off by the brotherhoods and the railway managers agreed to comply with the terms of the law. All of which leads to the statement made by us at the beginning that it is a sad commentary on industrial conditions in the United States that four labor unions can dictate the policy of the whole federal government.
 The trainmen, with their strike weapon, forced the of an 8-hour law; with the same weapon they hastened a decision of the court of the United States, and they thereby added more than fifty mil lions of dollars to the bur dens of the one hundred mil lion inhabitants of the coun- try. In other words, the more than fifty millions of dollars paid the four hun dred thousand trainmen will come out of thepockets of the people; it will cost every man. woman and'child in the United States approxi- 50 cents each per an mum in order that the train men, already well paid, may work 8 hours and collect pay for 10 hours.
 Already the railway com panies have started proceed ings to collect the money to pay increased wages from the public. They have ask ed the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to raise freight rates. When this is granted, passenger rates will be increased, and the public---the consumers will nav the entire hill

Road Bonds Should be Voted

Road Bonds Should be Voted
 We believe that the tax
 payers of Navajo county can
 make no mistake in voting for the road bonds April 24. Every person who travels the roads of the county will ad- init that these roads should be improved. This being the case, the best way to inn prove them is to vote bonds for that purpose.
 The amount of money pro- posed to be raised by a bond issue---$16O, 0OO---is none to large to put the roads in fair condition. This money will be equally apportioned by the commissioners appointed for this purpose by the board of supervisors, and every resi- dent of the county will be directly benefited.
 We are advised that some opposition has already deve- loped to the bond issue. Part of this opposition comes from people who are opposed to any issue of bonds; some of it comes from people who claim that they do not favor the procedure taken by the supervisors in calling the election.
 We grant to everyone the right to his own opinion as to the bond proposition, as well as to other matters of public policy. Because a per son differs from us on the road bond question, does not cause us to think any less of that person. We respect his and if we can not change that opinion we still respect him.
 Good roads will especially help Holbrook. Practically all roads in the county lead to Holbrook and any improve on any of the roads will benefit the town. Like wise the sections of country south of Holbrook will be benefited, not only in Nav ajo county, but also in the adjoining countyof Apache. It therefore seems to us that the taxpayers in Holbrook and in the southern part of the county should stand as a unit in favor of the bond issue.
 The sentiment of the tax payers at the meeting held in the court house two weeks ago to discuss the bond prop osition was unanimous. Among the fifty or more rep resentative citizens present at that meeting, not one ex- pressed himself as opposed to a bond issue. If the same unanimity of sentiment con- tinues, the bonds will recieve a safe majority at the cleo tion April A.
