young man, Wilmeth, offered the edi- tor of The Sun his stock claiming that it was the controlling interest in the leader? This is true, but it was so contemptible that it was refused.
 Would you think this same young man who endeavors to pervert every thing he can find in The Sun, either religious or political, would show you a complete lineup of the men and the money behind the game, and then, a short time after, publish an affidavit for the "edification of the postoffice department" in which much of the personal" and financial information was eliminated?
 The Sun may make its mistakes in grammatical construction, but it never does as to facts. It is no U-boat and does no submarine stunts--neither for money or men.
 The people do not care who pulls the strings on puppet; pups and puppets are cheaply purchased.
 And, honestly, dear reader, this will be about all so far as Governor Hunts Rear Guard leader is concerned in The Coconino Sun, at least for publi- cation.

WHAT'S THE USE OF
 KICKING A SKUNK

Kicking a skunk does not improve the atmosphere and the Rear Guard is no exception to the rule.
 This highly trained force of rear guard suttlers are like the "hun" try ing to make one last grand drive oI bust-religion, politics or personalities are all the same-human buzzards with no hope now, and none in the hereafter; it would be only gratifying personal desire to tell the true na- ture of this carrion-carrying caravan, but the people would not be interest ed. Their sole idea of the promotion of the public welfare, is to pervert, misrepresent, insinuate and attack like side-winder. Arizona has many undesirable reptiles and some of them have drifted in from old Mexico.

 WAR BUSINESS IS BUSINESS

Charles M. Schwab, new chief of the emergency fleet corporation, went to Philadelphia the other day to look for an office. The mayor took him to write-ups. These constitute the news paper stock of goods. Absolutely no other business gives steadily and of it's stock in this manner In addition to this, the newspaper people sub scribe literally for bonds. This is not a complaint, but a statement of facts that people who expect newspapers to give more than they do should under stand.

Tell the others to get out!" If he goes at getting ships in that way the bridge to France soon will be built.-Douglas Dispatch.

A MIGHTY SAFE BET

Gov. Hunt took the salary for Ton Campbel's work for nearly a year as "defacto governor" or what ever ths courts made him be, also $10 per day from the government as "labor med, iator" during the time that Tom Campbell was doing the work, and now wants the people of the state to pay Tom Campbell the money that Gov. Hunt took and put in his pocket for the work that Tom Campbell did
 If the legislature can see it that way, and makes the appropriation, wonder if it wouldn't be good bet that Tom Campbell would turn it all into the Red Cross if Hunt was sport enough to do the same thing with his unearned wages from the people.

There is no question but that every true American has a perfect right to his political beliefs, whatever they may be, but there is a rapidly grow ing conviction that "his" party should deliver the goods and not be merely party" to taking over the public money and soft snaps regardless of results.

What the people of this section of the country cannot understand as yet is, why the government commandeer- ed the wool crop and fixed a price on it, and are still unable to fix price on cotton, which is mainly raised be- low the Mason-Dixon line. We hope that politics has nothing to do with it for the government needs both wool and cotton very badly.

RULES FOR AVOIDING EPIDEMIC
OF INFLUENZA.

The following precautionary rules
| for the avoidance and lessening Of the
intensity of the epidemic of influenza
have been prepared by DIR. VIM. F,
Lincoln, advisor of Lake Division
American Red Cross, for distribution
throughout the entire Lake Division
territory, consisting of the states of
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
Here. are the rules:
l. All colds, however slight, should
be treated as possible attacks of in
fuenza. Patients affected by colds
should stay at home and sterilize dis
charge from the nose and throat.
2. Avoid feeling or spreading of
the disease. d.
8. Avoid crowds.
4. Regular bodily functions and
keep them so.
S. Avoid the breath or expelled
secretions from people suffering from
colds. =
6. Wash out the hose and throat
two or three times daily by nasal
spray or douche and by gargle with a
normal salt solution" ~ teaspoon

COMPETENT, COUNTY ROAD EN-.
GINEERS.

We would not expect physicians to
argue cases before the Court of Ap-
peals, nor lawyers to compound
drugs, or blacksmiths to be skilled
photographers, then why conclude
that an inexperienced man can sue
cessfully handle the road affairs Of
any county, yet there are some courts
that would gladly appoint to office
every sort Of man and there are
men ignorant and avaricious enough
to always seek positions they are un-
qualified to fill.
Why don't we appoint druggists
County Farm Agents or blacksmiths
County Health Oficers? They would
not have the opportunity to squander
one-tenth as much money as the man
in the important position of County
Road Engineer.

(Harrodsburg Herald.)

(Harrodsburg Herald.)
Quite an interesting case was tried
Wednesday before Judge Davenport.
It seems that Tom Coulter. of Wash
ington county, and Cleve Divine, of
Dixville, had a horse swap the early
part of August. Coulter started OFF
with the horse he got, but it fell
down with him and turned out to be
blind. He took it back to Divine
and demanded that they trade back.
Divine refused and he took his horse
anyway. Divine claimed that he OBJ
iected to the horse being taken,
while Coulter claimed that Divine
consented to it. Coulter said he paid
$40 damages in the deal, but Divine
claimed that he only left 81 on the
fence and later that he went and got
if. A warrant was taken out charg-
ing the taking of the horse, and af-
ter hearing the evidence the court
held Coulter to the grand jury and
fixed his bond at $500. 1t seems
from the discussion of the case that
the right to take the horse depends
on whether or not fraud has been
practiced on Coulter by Divine.

THE LAW OF THE LAND.

The attitude of the Railroad Ad-
ministration with. reference to the
statute by which the railroads pass
ed from public to private control, is
remarkably interesting. The legis-
lation indicated makes it the law of
the land that the railroads shall be
returned to their owners after the
war. Oscar A. Price, assistant to the
Director of the Railroads, who is rec
ognized as Mr.. McAdoo's fright hand
man." in an authorized interview
given to the New York Times, casts
considerably more than the shadow
of doubt upon the question. Mr..
Price has travelled all over the broad
land with his Chief, during the last
few months, and after voicing assur-
ances that the Railroad Administra-
ton is regarded as a tremendous
success wherever he travelled, he says
that the railroad employees of the
country are determined to make the
present regime of government control
a success. 1T is but natural that
this should be so-they never Jared
so we'll under private control and
operation as they are faring to-day"
says Mr.. Price, who also states that
they feel that now they have at
stake not only their pay and their
jobs, but the triumph of new idea.
an idea that they feel is destined to
be more beneficient than any other
for them, as. well as for the public,
for which they serve"
On the very heels of Mr.. McAdoo's
warning to railroad men that they
must remain bone dry upon all
political matters, the statement of
his acknowledged spokesman, Mr..
Price, is truly significant. Railroad
employees are not devoid of kriowl-
edge of politics, as their past record
proves" says Mr.. Price, who observes
very wisely: They are thoroughly
aware that if Government operation
and control are to become permanent
they must prove success now. They
are now on trial, and their success or
failure, to a very large extent, is in
he hands Of those 100000 EN-
ployes."
Mr.. Price has laid himself open to
.he suspicion of having leanings to-
ward the group whom Harvey H.
Motter, of Topeka, describes as self
partisan, is liberal enough to say
hat this group Of men are mot nee
essarily the Administration, or the
party as whole"
1t is, however, apparent that the
Socialistic tendency is rather strong
n high political life, and politicians
n mighty places who are leaders in
both the old parties are evidently
-ather careless Of the rights of De-
nocracy in American industry.
The political Government of the
Nation, is storing up big problems
1.-The triumph Of a new
dea," as expressed by Mr.. Price, and
here are, doubtless, breeding many
problems concerning public and pri-
7ate ownership that will have to be
net, and fought to a finish, after the
war - -..----. .
