Sultan's Gold Will
Require Fleetto Move
If Turks Driven Out Of Europe
There's a Big Job Ahead for Him

London, Oct. 19.-If the Turk Is
driven out of Europe, as Is generally
predicted will be one Of the results
of the war, it will require a feet OF
boats to carry the personal wealth OF
the sultan across the Bosphorus.
In the great vaults of the porte lies
hidden away what is perhaps the
greatest treasure in the world, col
lected for centuries by Turkeys
greedy rulers and boarded away from
the gaze of any inquisitive mortal.
No one has ever been able to esti-
mate the value of the sultan's jewels,
for the treasures are guarded day and
night. There are at least II sets OF
heavily barred doors to pass before
the actual entrance is reached to this
Aladdin's cave. For every lock there
are two keys entrusted to as many
guardians, each having "a guards.
These are supposed to spy on each
other as we'll as protect the guard
ians of the keys.
The green vaults Of Constation, as
the treasure caves are called, are
within the grounds Of the porte. Ap-
preached through court called
Dar.es Saadet-the Court of Felicity
it is seen to be low-domed edifice
with an interesting doorway, enriched
with marbles and tiles.
The Jewels appear to consist main
" of set and unset precious stones
All information regarding them, how
ever is kept secret, because of the
Impoverished condition of the country
and if the exact amount of the sui
tan's wealth was discovered certain
INSCRIPTIONS leaders, such as Envel
Pasha. who is now on the "outs
with his royal master, might be temp
ted to lead band to "break in AM
steal" For years 1t has been CON
mon gossip in the European capitals
however, that if a person offered SO
0OO,OO0,0O0 for the green vaults an
secured their contents he would max
a great bargain.
Perhaps the throne Of beaten gol'
adorned with millions Of rubies pear
diamonds sapphires and emerald
set in mosaic, is the most dozzlir
object in the treasury of the "Shado
of God on Earth" How Selim I. ev'

IN rne world are the
precious stones to compare with IL

encrusted with 1000 diamonds. f

NEW METHOD OF

Deputy Sheriff Frank Dickil

Deputy Sheriff Frank Dickin-
son, Coconino county, has earned
the plaudits of the good citizens
of Arizona. He was in pursuit
of one Bassito, wanted for the
cold-blooded murder of James
Lowery, ex-sheriff of Yavapai
county, and when he come up on
his man, Dickinson was the quick
est with his gun. and killed him
at the first shot. The people
voted two years ago to do away
with the death penalty for MUIR
der, and we are pleased to know
that our sheriffs are not in har-
mony with the idea. No murder
er should be arrested. They
should be killed on sight. 1t is a
great saving to the state and
metes out exact justice.

Dunbar's Weekly, the recog-
nized organ for the Hunt brand
of democracy, says in it's last
issue that there are a few spots
in the state capitol that need to
be cleaned out; that liars and in
competents should be given an
opportunity to take a needed rest.
The Winslow Mail has been sug-
gesting the same thing for some
time past, and we are pleased to
have our estimate of the caliber
of the state officials meet with
the approval of such a staunch
democratic paper.
The Winslow mail., 1918-07-26

Several weeks ago the Winslow
Mail sent out a wild alarum that
one Mitt Simms had either passed
to the Great Beyond or was mys-
teriously missing from his usual
haunts; and we felt justified at the
time because a democratic state
primary was approaching and his
name was not filed as a candidate
for some office. Our unrest and
fears were not well founded.
Mitt is alive as ever, and he has
had his name filed as candidate
for the nomination for Secretary
OF. State. We hope every demo-
crat in the state votes for Mitt,
because the state house seems so
dread and deserted when he is
not housed therein as a public
official. Mitt is a firm subscriber
to the party doctrine of revenue
only"

Perhaps the decent democrats
in this county had better investi-
gate the connection of Fred T.
Golfer with the candidacy of his
stool pigeon H. R. Greer, who is
a carpet-bagger and henchman of
his from Apache county, who
has located at Holbrook tempo
rarily to make an attempt to de-
feat County Attorney Larson for
denomination. The bootleggers,
gamblers, prostitutes, and their
friends and benefciaries, are not
pleased with the manner in which
Mr.. Larson has performed his
sworn duties, and in Greer they
have probably found a man more
to their liking. 1t is known that
Greer is Golfers political man.
ager, because Greer says so, and
if Mr.. Golfer is catering to that
element in this county for votes,
it behooves law-abiding citizens,
who believe in civic purity, to
look for some more desirable
candidate for governor.
The Winslow mail., 1918-07-26

A meeting of republicans is
called to assemble in Holbrook
tomorrow Saturday to look
over the political situation, and
arrange to put a full ticket in
the field for the election this fall.
This county is sadly in need of a
set of republican county officials,
men who are competent and
qualified to transact the county
business without going to the
back room of the Merchants and
Stockgrowers Bank for instruc-
tions from Judge Thomas. 1t is
about time political banks were
retired.
The Winslow mail., 1918-07-26

One of two things is certain.
Either John Dunbar is republi-
can or the editor of the Winslow
Mail is a democrat. Mr.. Dunbar
is now demanding that the demo-
cratic party repeal the rotten
primary law, or the party will be
put out of business in few years.
His opinion of the primary is that
it is an institution that is clumsy
and expensive, and opens the
door for fraud and the nomina-
tion of incompetents and crooks.
If the primary law is not repealed
it will put all parties out of exist
ence, and public offices will all be
filled with a gang of crooks and
grafters, who are the plant tools
of the big interests. But where
will you find member of the
legislature who has got the cour-
age to introduce a bill for the re-
peal of the primary monstrosity?

A. S. Hawkins, of Phoenix,
has filed as candidate for the
democratic nomination for at
torney general, and if the rank
and file of the party are looking
for a sober. intelligent official to
fill that position he will be the
nominee. But "Wily" Jones has
the happy faculty of enlisting
the corporations, the crooks and
the bootleggers, and also gets a
very enthusiastic endorsement
from the prohibitionists, so it is
possible that Mr.. Hawkins, with
his clean record, will not get very
far. The primary is a great in
stitution for nominating the men
wanted by the underworld and
the corporations. This class al
ways turn out for the primary to
protect their interest, but the
good law-abiding citizens are al
ways too busy to give this vital
matter any attention.
The Winslow mail., 1918-07-26

The brand of republicanism of
the Winslow Mail is of the kind
that would rather go down to
defeat advocating the election of
a set of clean, honest men to
office, than to win with a ticket
made up with a lot Of incompe-
tents and political pirates simply
because they had political pull.
When this newspaper gets so
depraved that it supports men
who would sell their party princi-
piles for personal advantage. or
support man who is crooked,
dishonest or dissipated, we trust
the Lord will gather in the editor
as ripe for the harvest.

The Winslow mail., 1918-07-26

For the information of the edi-
tor of the Mohave County Miner
we want to say the Winslow Mail
does not see any menace in
copper" as he alleges. We are
glad Arizona has it's copper and
other rich mineral properties,
just as we would be pleased to
have any other big corporations
or industries that go to make the
state prosperous; but the point
we make is that at least five per
cent of the total value of the ores
taken out by the mining COM
panies should be converted into
the state treasury for the benefit
of the permanent school fund of
the state. 1t will be done some
day because the people will wake
up to the fact that it is only fair
that some of the natural wealth
of the state should be conserved
for coming generations, and when
that time comes men will be sent
to the legislature who are not the
hired janissaries of the mining
interests, but will be patriotic
Arizonians whose love for the
best interests of the state will be
greater than the grating loyalty
to the special interests. The
Winslow Mail has an abiding
faith in American citizenship at
all times, and can see no menace
in anything, not even the menace
in Gov. Hunt that so perturbs
the mining interests because they
cannot control his official actions.
The other state officers the demo-
cratic party has foisted on the
state are the plant tools of these
big interests, and they are all
out again for reelection, and we
doubt not the party at it's pri-
maries will stand by them, and
then go into the campaign as the
party of the people. But with
Gov. Hunt out of the race this
year, the democratic corporation
political bosses are going to have
hard shedding holding the voters
in line, and it is beginning to
dawn on the rank and file that
they are being worked for a lot
of suckers by the big interests,
who insist on controlling the
state Offices and direct the &C
tivities of the corporation and
tax commissions. So long as they
can do that the state OF Arizona
will be consistently robbed of it's
royalty on mine production, and
the natural wealth of the state
will be shipped out to the eastern
and foreign stockholders.

New York, March 29.-The Nation
al league has started something.
At the last meeting of John Kinley
Tener and his club owners a strict
set of rules for ball players under
contract to owners in the mother cir
cult was drawn up, and just as the
cubs were starting toward Dixie 1t
was put in force.
The new code which the players
are supposed to follow is by far the
most strict that has ever been handed
down by any league, and the staid old
National has set precedent in franz
ing it.
According to the new rules, Ma
tiona. league players who flirt with
red likkcr to excess or burn too many
Tags to suit the ideas of their mana
gers may be handled severely, and the
league will uphold any manager in
such a case
Live on So n Day.
Players must keep track of their
own baggage. They must keep their
Uniforms clean. They must restrict
themselves to SO per day for meals
club selects. They will not be allowed
to ride in taxicabs at the clubs ex-
pense.
If suspended by an umpire a play
err wiz be dealt with according to the
recommendations of President Tener
TO tie board of directors. There will
b, no appeal from the decision of the
board. In addition to this, the player
who receives an injury outside of the
service of his club will have to stand
for his salary being Topped off while
he is absent And any player who
misbehaves in public, whether on or
off the field, is liable to fine and sus-
pension or both.
