Train Limit Law Upheld.

Last Saturday the state su-
preme court handed down its
opinion upholding the constitu-
tionality of the law limiting the
length of freight trains to seventy
cars exclusive of the caboose.
This case was taken to the high
er court by the Arizona Eastern
railroad from a decision of the
lower court, on the theory that
the legislature had no authority
to regulate railroads, as the con-
stitution placed such power in
the hands Of the corporation COM
mission.

Makes a Difference.

Hardly a day passes but what
some newspaper recounts that
some individual has been arrested
by government officials accused
OF furnishing liquor to soldiers,
and IN every case fine and i'm
prlsonment has been inflicted.
Yet when three state officials
go to San Diego, and openly
debauch a lot of our Arizona
boys, the federal officers make
no effort to bring the offenders
to justice. What is the reason
the United States attorney in
California ignores the violation
of the special act of Congress
passed for the purpose of pro-
tecting the soldiers? If that San
Diego hotel orgy had been staged
by an individual he would have
been in custody inside of an
hour, but the democratic state
officials seem to be immune from
prosecution by the United States
attorney. The special messenger
who was sent by the state officers
to interview the soldier boys, and
have them make afidavits that
the state officers did not bring or
have sent to the room the liquor
that was drank did not get a
clearance card from all of them,
and there is plenty of other evil
dence available if there was any
disposition to prosecute instead
of cover up. The soldiers have
all been disgraced by a court
martial, and the state officials
will be candidates this fall for
reelection on a platform that
they are the true representa-
tives" of the people. If these
three fellows are ever nominated
and elected again in this state to
any office it will be by the vote
of Huns and pro-Germans, but
never by the loyal citizens.

Oil Sure to be Discovered.

If there was ever any doubt in
the minds of the people that oil
would be discovered at Holbrook
it will now be banished. DR..
Frederick Cook, the great Arctic
explorer who discovered the
North Pole and sawed it down to
use for a mast so he could come
sailing back over the sea, has
arrived in Holbrook to discover
oil. 1t is said he is being finan-
cially backed by New York capt.
talists, and being the best little
discoverer of the present day, he
will find the oil in that section
and take samples back east with
him to prove that he was on the
ground. Oil stock in Mr.. Brax-
toms wild cat companies he loves
so we'll, ought to advance several
points with the news of the
presence of the great discoverer
on the field of action.

Patriotic Sunday.

Next Sunday from every Meth
odist pulpit in the country will
be read a copy of letter written
by President Wilson to Bishop
Henderson Of New York. The
Presidents letter, dated March
25th, reads as follows:
I'm reply to your letter of
March Fl, may | not say that you
are perfectly safe in using the
words which you quote from my
messages and expressing my un-
altered thought and unbroken
purpose. 1t is always our duty
to find out what the expression
of a desire for peace from our
opponents really means, but un-
less it means a complete and con-
vincing program of justice upon
which a lasting peace can really
rest, (and we have had as yet no
evidence that it means anything
of that kind), it means nothing. 3"
All Methodist ministers have
been requested to use the letter
as basis for a new and hearty
backing of the President in the
war, and for the checking out of
all pacifsts. The history of the
Methodist Church in this country
shows it has always been loyal
to the country in every emerg-
ency, and the present is no ex-
ception to the rule.

School Election.

An election was held in the city
last Saturday, but with only a
total of fifty votes cast it was
not generally known, or but little
interest was manifested. A
school trustee was elected, but
the only candidate was Mrs. A.
E. Gillard, the present incum-
bent, and she has given such
valuable service in the years
past it was generally conceded
she would be reelected without
any opposition. Before her mar
riage Mrs. GilIard was one of
the teachers in the Winslow
schools, and her experience as a
teacher makes her q valuable
member Of the board.

Teachers Wages.

Under existing conditions the
question Of increasing the wages
Of the teachers in the public
schools of the state is one that
must be met by the various
school boards this fall when new
contracts are made. Good teach
ers have always been underpaid
employees, and a poor teacher is
oVerp2id no matter how small the
compensation. There are many
school boards who have no con-
ception Of what constitutes a
good teacher, and if some mem
Der has relative who wants a
job that person usually gets it
whether competent or not. Too
many members of school boards
have the same idea Of some par
ents that q school is established
as a common place to herd the
children several hours day to
get them out of the way, and
any person is competent to be a
teacher who can keep the kids
corralled for the scheduled time.
1t is time school boards were
putting a little intelligence into
the selection of teachers, and
forget'relatives and friends who
want jobs, and select competent
instructors, pay them a decent
wage, and demand results. Pick
ing teachers off the bargain
counter because they can be en-
ployed cheap is the poorest in
vestment any school district can
make because they disorganize
the school and discourage the
scholars, and the year lost by
disqualified teachers is a calamity
that will be hard to ever over
come. Education is building;
and the successful teacher is the
master mechanic on the job di-
recting the work. It requires
something besides education to
make a successful teacher; there
must be also that human element
that can interest the children in
the work, and the happy faculty
of imparting instruction.

VOL 28.
War Stamp Campaign.

The campaign for War Stamps
will be commenced in earnest
next week when a score Of COM
mittees representing all the
churches, lodges and orders in
town, will make a complete can
vass Of the town. Special pledge
cards have been provided for the
people to sign, agreeing to pur-
chase some definite amount of
war stamps each month for a
year, and it is hoped by the man
ayers that enough pledges will
be secured to cover WinsloW' S
proportion of the amount appor-
toned to Navajo county. The
war certificates bear four and a
half per cent compound interest,
which make them good invest
ment, and they can instantly be
converted into cash if a purchaser
finds other financial obligations
later are pressing. 1t is not ex-
pected a person will buy the
stamps only to convert them into
cash within a short time for no
reason whatever, as that is no
manifestation of loyalty in any
degree, and would brand the
party as a war Stacker Of the
worst type. The thrift stamps
only cost 25c each, and can be
traded for war certificates when
you have purchased sixteen. The
war certificates cost 81, plus the
additional few cents, and at ma
turity are worth S.. No one is
expected to impoverish himself
to buy any large amount, but it
is expected that every one will
sign the purchase pledge for some
amount however small. The
widows mite, recorded in the
scriptures, was the greatest con-
tribution ever mad e to the
Christian religion, because the
giving represented self-denial to
aid the work. This is the same
principle that should apply in the
purchase of the war certificates.

Movement Of Troops
to Start from Camp
Funston on Saturday

General Passenger Agent Craig
has been advised by the War depart
ment that some slight changes have
been made relative to- the movement
of the soldiers out Of the canton
ments. The original plan was to
start the movement Thursday, but
word comes that it will be delayed
until Saturday.
TIE movement out of Camp Fun
ston will start when the Union Pa
ci6c takes out a special train Satur-
day, carrying 800 instead of 500 men,
as originally planned. This number
will be taken out daily until 1900
men have been sent home. There
are no advices at to what is to be
done after that number has been
moved from the camp
Mr.. Craig is also advised by the
War department that in the move
ment of the troops. the men are to
be allowed travel allowance of 81
cents mile. The rate to be charged
to discharged soldiers is to be two
thirds of the regular coach rate. or
approximately 2 cents a mile. 1t is
figured that the difference between
this and the allowance of 3H cents
will cover the expenses of sleeping
car and meals from point of dis
charge to destination.

property until final peace shall come.
"As long as the trading with the
enemy act is in force, it remains the
