Are the regents and the presi-
dent of the state university such
powerful political factors in the
state that not a single member
in either branch of the legisla-
ture dare offer a resolution de-
manding an investigation as to
the cause of the dismissal of
Prof. Colodny? The Winslow
Mail is willing to admit it knows
nothing of the real merits Of the
case, and it is possible the re-
moval of Prof. Colodny was JUS
tilted, but the charge has been
made and never refuted, that he
was summarily dismissed with
out a hearing because Mrs. Col
odny, as head of the woman's S
civic betterment society, led a
crusade that put the red light"
district out of business in the
university town, which cut off
the rental revenues of some of
the university crowd and their
friends who owned the property.
The regents, President Klein
smid, and a horde of lobbyists
are in Phoenix ready to smother
any attempt TO start an investi-
cation. This in itself would in
dicate there was a putrid mess
in the university, and they were
afraid the stencil arising if it was
stirred would be too powerful for
the nostrils of decency.

The board of supervisors Ger
tainly can no longer be in doubt
as to the sentiment of a large
majority of the people regarding
the proposed road bond issue OF
$125, 600 to be voted upon March
10th, and in the interest of
economy, saving an election ex-
pense of $4,000, the matter should
be recalled and submitted later
at more convenient season. 1t
is also a doubtful matter if the
call for the election is legal, as
the petition, on which the cleo
ton is presumed to be called,
was presented to the old board
of supervisors and they refused
to grand the election and laid the
matter on the table. That peti-
tion explicitly stated that the
election was to be called if GER
tain conditions were conceded.
No other petition has been pres
ented to this board asking for an
election, and no power to call a
bond election is given the board
without a legal petition. Fore
ling the issue at this time means
that never will a road bond issue
get by the people. Messrs.
Owens and Freeman have only
been members of the board two
months, and our people are not
yet acquainted with the policy
they intend to pursue towards
Winslow. Let them administer
the affairs of the county for g
year with the resources at hand,
and next year they can ask fol
a bond issue on the record they
have made to serve the people,
and they will find no more loyal
supporters than the citizens OF
Winslow.

The Winslow Mail is glad to
record that when the vote was
taken in Congress on the ques-
ton of agreeing to the prohibi-
ton amendments attached to the
postal appropriation bill, Senator
Ashurst and Congressman Carl
Hayden stood up and were count
ed in favor of prohibition. They
were not conveniently absent,
neither did they refuse to vote,
but they went on record as true
representatives of the state OF
Arizona, and met the issue
squarely.
The Winslow mail., 1917-03-02

Sam Gompers, of the American
Federation. has written a letter
of protest to Congress protesting
against prohibition for the Dis
trict of Columbia. claiming such
a measure would have an in
furious effect upon more that
100, 900 cigar makers. He might
also have truly added that it
would have an injurious effect on
the bartenders' union. The
complaints of Sam will not stop
the advance of the prohibition
movement in America, and if
wiping out the saloon interferes
with the cigar makers union the
boys will have to hunt for other
fields of usefulness the same as
the bartenders have done in the
prohibition states. Moral ad-
vancement cannot be retarded to
hold a mans job.

When we hear some of our
young people talking on the
streets, we wonder at times,
whether they are receiving an
education in school, or acquiring
an education from the perusal of
French novels. We realize this
is a fast age, and the use of pure
refined English is apt to mark one
as belonging to past generation,
but even so the time will never
come when a fiuency in the lam
guage of the brothel and the dives
Of crime will be an open sesame to
success and opportunity. With
no thought of lecturing our boys
and girls, and with no desire to
be considered a carping critic,
we would suggest in all kindness
that they copy their style of ex-
preston from Pope or Emerson,
Dickens or Hawthorne, and Scott
or Longfellow. From these old
fogies you will not enrich your
vocabulary with such classic en-
igrams as For Gawd's sake,
Name" my God. Mabel, I'm
all in," and Lets take shot
of coke;;" but a richness of re.
finement will attune your con.
versation that will be sweet mu.
sic to the ear and bring all the
welcome of the rose sparkling
with the morning dews. II
marks the difference between
disgusting coarseness, and edC.
Gated refinement.

The head of a big leather firm
is quoted as saying that when
we had fifty million people in this
country we had seventy-fve mil
lion head of cattle, and now with
hundred million people we have
only sixty million cattle, which
means back to the farm to raise
calves or go without shoes.
Since the advent of high shoes
for milady there are more calves
visible to the naked eye now thar
ever before in the history of the
country.

IF Representative Flake is i'm
terested in providing literally
for the public schools of the state
why not introduce bill provid-
ing that a certain per cent of the
value of the ore removed from
the state shall go into a per-
manent school fund, the interest
from which shall be semi-annual-
ly apportioned among the several
school districts. The mineral
wealth of the state should be
made an heritage to the people
for all time, and the only way il
can be accomplished is to levy q
production tax on all the ore
mined and shipped out of the
state. There is constitutional
provision for levying a produc.
tion tax, and it is within the
power of the legislature to say
the. tax shall be devoted to 3
permanent school fund. Within
a few years, Arizona would have
the largest permanent school
fund Of any state in the union,
and the money could be invested
in the bonds issued by school
districts, cities, county and state,
or other approved securities. 1t
will be crime against genera
tions yet unborn if the mineral
wealth of Arizona is permitted
to be shipped away without con-
tributing a royalty to the state
for educational purposes. a

1t is the universal practice of
the judiciary all over this coun-
try, when a case is called before
them in which they have the
least personal interest, directly
or indirectly, to remove them
selves from the bench that an
other Judge may hear the trial.
Our senators are congressman
are not so particular. Their in
terest in legislation increases in
just the ratio in which their per-
sonal financial interests are going
to be affected by the proposed
legislation, and some of them
have an itching palm that no
amount of scratching can sub
due. But somehow they can GO
back home with wonderful tales
Of, the mighty struggles they
have made to protect the in
terests of their constituents and
f1imfam the voters into return
ing them to their jobs. Men are
sitting in Congress to-day who
have. not the mental capacity nor
the energy to hold a job as a
chambermaid in a livery stable,
who are succeeding in holding
their places because they are the
plant tools of some interest, who
can depend on them delivering
the goods without regard to the
rights of the people they are
supposed to represent.

The Arizona legislature h;

The Arizona legislature has
passed the anti-cigarette bill
and it will become the law as
soon as it is signed by the gov
ernor. 1t is a drastic measure,
making it not only unlawful for
dealers to sell or give away ci-
gars, cigarettes or tobacco to
any person under 81 years old,
but makes it a misdemeanor for
any person under Il years old to
have cigars, cigarettes or tobac-
co in their possession. tits easy
enough to pass the law, but will
the officers enforce it?
The Winslow mail., 1917-03-02

Newspaper punsters for years
have directed their shafts at the
Congressional Record, but for
wholesome instruction and to get
at the cunning and jobbery that
plays such an important part in
the daily proceedings of Con-
gress no more interesting reading
can be found. Only recently a
Congressman, who had been
nursing a bill through the ses-
sion apparently anxious to have
lit pass, found it ready to be
taken up under the unanimous
consent agreement for final pass
age, and after several vain SUBJ
terfuges to get some other Con-
gressman to object so the bill
would 60 off the calender, he
finally had to object to his own
bill in order to kill it. The bene-
ficiary in the bill had probably
not come through" in sufficient
amount to satisfy the Congress-
man and he killed the bill he had
been trying to pass. Recently
IN the senate the question was
up of renewing the lease for the
pneumatic tube service for the
mail in cities, and notWithstand-
ing the postmaster general had
recommended that the contract
be not renewed as the service
was obsolete and too expensive,
senators were found on the floor
urging and pleading for an ap-
preparation for the service, and
even insisting that the govern
ment ought to buy the patents
and the installed service. Some
were honest enough to admit
that with the automobile for
carrying the mail in cities the
pneumatic tube is a back number,
yet they pleaded it was a great
n-its time and for that
reason the government should
take another ten year lease to
save the company from bankrupt
cy. Reading this from the Con-
gressional Record, by the quiet of
the evening lamp, the question
naturally arises as to the interest
and zeal these senators have in
the pneumatic tube. Are they
personally stockholders in the
concern, have they friends and
relatives financially interested,
or like some lawyers, are they
working on a contingent fee IN
the event they succeed in mulct-
ing the government for a few
millions. All senators do not
come under this class, fortunate
ly, and but few gigantic steals
get through.

BACHELORS AGAIN BEAT CHALLENGERS
 IN CLOSE CONTEST

Nearly the whole town of Ketchi- kan turned out yesterday at the ball grounds to view the contest between the Bachelors and the team which chal- lenged them with $100 as the prize.
 The game started shortly after 1:30 with the Walker team at tho bat and the Bachelors on the field and until the end of the sixth inning which end ed tie of four to four, excitement ran high and errors on both sides made the chances equal In the seventh the Walker team scored two runs only, while the Bachelors managed to squeeze in three runs in the last half of the seventh making the extra run. Neither side scored after that, re- sulting in the close score of ' to in favor of tho Bachelors.
 Batteries for the game were Bush,p. and Lopez, C., for the Walker team, Grandstrum D., and Higby C., for the Bachelors. Both pitchers remained in the box during the entire game, tho both got a trifle wild, during the last few innings.

MOTOR CAR IS USED
 FOR EDITORIAL ROOM
Publisher of Little Belgian Paper Still Eludes German Governor
(From the Outlook.)

The Paris Temps informs us that the little Belgian newspaper called La Libre Belgique is still alive, and has celebrated the second anniversary of it's existence It's first number appear ed in January, 191F. According to the Temps the offices of La Libre Belgique are in a motor car-today in one place and tomorrow in another, or at one particular hour in one place end at another hour at another-so that the Germans may not discover where the editors work.
 For two years the Germans have searched high and low to ascertain where the paper is printed, and have offered a reward of $10,000 for infor- nation which would disclose the name of the editor and publishers as well as the place of publication. But their search has been in vain. Instead and what must make the search spec tally exasperating-eve morning Gen. von Bissing, the German governor of Belgium, finds La Libre Belgique In his mail-at least so says the Milan Corriere della Sera.
 This is tho nly announcement we have seen that La Libre Belgique had been changed from a weekly to daily. Certainly daily iteration might deep- en any impression of Belgium's con- dtion as seen by Belgians which Gen. von Bissing gets out of the journal; indeed. one issue published portrai of this official shown reading that pa per. The caption recited that "our dear governor, disheartened by the lies in the censored journals, seek the truth in La Libre Belgique!"
