The coastwise trade in coal and oil -
perhaps the most important that has bccn
han dicappcd BY inadequate facilities. A.
present, this trade j limited only by
shipping and port facilities The survey
shows these ports taxed 10 capacity ~
present, and in many Instances ovcrtaScd,
and in almost al instances facin0 serious
congestion unless speedily expanded.
New York harbor particularly ~ over
taxed, ard some Southern ports, especial
w Galveston. New Orleans, jacksonville,
ard Charleston, need expansion. All
Southern ports, IT. Is expected, viii be- en-
lnrged because signs Of congestion are OIL
ready in sight This condition results
from heavy traffic being diverted By roll
roads from overland routes north 70
southern ports either for shipment north
or to the West Indies and South America.
The commission, besides its plans for
port expansion, will consider he diversion
of imports and exports from northern

for the work The workers on the other
hand will be told all about the work they
are asked to undertake and the conditions
under which they are TO labor. 81 that no
fear of misrepresentation will exist, the
officials say The effectiveness of the sys-
tenn in this regard over the old style em-
ployment agency which placed workers
for fee or commission, and whose inter-
est was in doing as great an amount OF
business as possible with no direct regard
for the competency of the help hired, or
the conditions under which the en-
ploycs were to labor, is counted as one of
the strongest recommendations of the
system by those who are responsible for 1t.
The vast turnover of labor, largely
due to agencies of this sort and to hercely
competing labor scouts is an evil the ser
vice aims TO eliminate In ITS effort TO make
the entire available labor supply of the
country 100 per cent effective.
In this regard, though little is being
said about II at present, the pcrmanency
of the new employment service. even
after the termination of the war is regarded
as almost assured. Its use in placing dis
ahlcd soldiers who are to be trained by
the government in its work of recon
structIon and vocational training rs one
of the big factors which cause expectancy

Little Miss Pauline Woods, who
has been the efficient recorder of
Navajo county since the death of
Miss Moss, is a candidate before
the democratic primary for nomi-
nation, and very rightly has no
opposition. It is too bad Miss
Pauline is a democrat, because
she looks as bright and inteilli-
gent as a republican.

Notice of Hearing Petition.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT,

In the Matter of the Estate of
J. w. Burns, deceased.
Notice is hereby given that D..
c. Simmons has filed in this Court
a certain document purporting to
be the last Will and Testament
of J. w. Burns together with his
petition praying that said docu-
ment be admitted to probate in
this Court as the last Will and
Testament of said J. w. Burns
who, said petitioner alleges, is
deceased, and that letters of ad-
ministration with will annexed
issue thereon to said petitioner,
and that same will be heard on
Monday the 26th day of August
A. D. 1918, at ten o'clock in the
forenoon of said day, at the
court room of said Court, in the
Court House, in the Town of
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-02

The democrats of Navajo coun-
ty must feel proud to know that
the responsibility of selecting a
set of county officials to be voted
for at the fall elections is entire
ly removed from their shoulders,
and is assumed by Judge Thomas,
of the Merchants and Stockgrow-
ers Bank of Holbrook. After
their election the invisible gov
ernment of the county will be
located in the back room of the
bank, and all the officials will
have to do will be to step in there
for their instructions every morn
ing. All the taxpayers will have
to do when they want to transact
any business with the county
officials is to call at the bank and
get a card O. KID by Mr.. Thomas
directing the officials to attend to
your wants. 1t is a great bless
ing to have a bank that controls
the county funds direct all the
county business.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-02

Notwithstanding we are not
interested as to who is the vic
torious candidate in the demo
cratic primary for governor, we
are pleased. to observe that Sid
Osborn has amended his original
platform from 100 per cent Amer
ican to include some other quail
fications he claims to possess. If
all the other democratic candi-
dates would read the Winslow
Mail regularly they could get a
few ideas of public policy that
might aid them in gathering up
some votes.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-02

The compensation of the state
treasurer in Arizona is $4,000,
and he is only entitled to hold
the place one term of two years,
making his total income from
the position amount to $4,000. 1t
is not unreasonable to assume
that the man nominated in the
primary and elected in Novem-
Der will spend at least $4,000 of
this sum to cover his campaign
expenses, which leaves him a
net income of $4,000 a year, be-
cause the law says there are no
perquisites to go with the office.
But what the law says, and the
true facts, are different PROPOSE
tions. Perhaps there are some
favored bankers in the state who
could explain why there is al
ways such a mad scramble for
the treasurer's job.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-02

An honest democrat makes a
better public servant than a dis
honest republican, and the re-
verse Of this proposition is also
true. So the principal concern
of all parties is to see to it that
only clean, honest and sober men
are nominated on their party
tickets, and if any other kind
slip through at the primaries,
forget all party affiliations and
defeat him at the general cleo
ton. It will only take one or two
demonstrations of this kind to
convince the undesirable element
that character is always the first
requisite to success in the politi-
cal race in Arizona. But will the
people do it?
