Freight Rates Forbid

Apropos of the suggestion of a reader of the News that Will Hams save and sell her waste paper, the News has looked in- to the matter of freight rates to learn if the suggestion might bear fruit here. A paper mill could not be reached at a less freight rate than that to Kan sas City. The Kansas City rate for old paper in less than car load lots is $43.40 per ton. In car load lots, $16.6O per ton. Had we a paper mill in Will Hams operated in conjunction with the mill, we should have before us a different proposi- ton. The waste paper of the town could then be saved pro- fitably. Conditions being as they are, Williams will contin- ue to burn her waste paper.

With the editor of the Coco nino Sun the governorship con- test has become an obsession. Of the IS editorials, long and short, in the issue of Jan. 12, II refer to the contest or to the contestants in some manner. This is not the first contest ever instituted to determine the title to office, nor is it the most i'm portant. As a rule the peoples choice has won the contest. He probably will in this case. The editorial comment of a country paper will not affect the result.

Some Arizona newspaper publishers seem to take pleas ure in giving considerable space to predictions that flaws will be found in the Arizona prohibition law and the state will be found not to be as bone dry as prohibitionists wish. The News desires to say to such publishers that the people of Arizona wish the state dry and it's going to be dry. They who encourage law violations by throwing doubt on the bone dry amendment are doing no good to the cause of good gov ernment. If they wish to give encouragement to the liquor traffic, their efforts will gain nothing but further disappoint- ment.

The constitutionality of the Adamson law was argued be- fore the U. $ Supreme Court last week.

St. Johns, Apache county, is having water troubles much more serious than those of Will Hams. St. Johns gets her wa ter from a spring which suplies 6,480 gallons daily.

The old saving "m1rder

The old saying, murder will out, is not true to the letter, but the probabilities favor it so strongly that one with murder ous instincts is very short sight ed, if he thinks to hide a crime of this character. The young man who is alleged to have murdered young Armour in the Glorieta Mountains is probably a case in point. The crime was committed in a mountain fast ness where discovery seemed very improbable. But the aven- ging Nemesis led dog to the body and the dog led his mast CT and the murder was out.

Entente and Central are a long ways apart as one can see who compares the peace terms of the two. The slaughter of the next year will bring them very much nearer together. At the end of the next twelve months the central powers may be willing to surrender a little territory which they possessed before the war. They will not be able to make reparation. The Entente powers will be too completely exhausted to en- force harsh demands.

But once the road reaches the rim the Bar Cross trail down to the bottom should be improved and event. ually an auto road should be built to the bottom. This road would give the West side di- rect access to Clarkdale and the Verde. Flagstaff has two such roads down into Oak Creek. Williams deserves one down into the Sycamore. The value of such a road to Will Hams can be easily seen.
 Here is Williams great op- portunity. In unified action lies success.
