IN APPRECIATION

It is with heart filled with grati- tude, which in a measure assuages our great sorrow, that we extend to our friends and loved ones our sincere thanks and appreciation for the many acts, words and deeds of kindness and loving sympathy given to us and our beloved dead, during the long illness which eliminated in the death of our lamented daughter and sister, Leat- rice. May God in His Infinite power ever watch over and soothe your hearts when the darkness of despair enters your home in similar sorrow. May you have the sympathy and min istration of such tender friends in that hour, as has ""~n our portion, when the clouds Of ''-o blackest despair was lowering lowee over our home.

Food for the enemy. pro-German remarks. slurs and other food for the enemy, maliciously or unknowine- ly or otherwise. should not be toler- ated.

Quite a few kicks have been registered this week about some pro-German conver- sations that have taken place in Cliff ton.

From Wilcox comes the report of a movement that has been put on foot for the money offered as a reward for the capture of the Powers-Sisson out laws, to be paid over to the families of the deceased officers. This move ment will likely be endorsed by every citizen of the state and elsewhere, ex- cept the possible exception of Sheriff Shriver of Grant county, N. M. The soldiers who captured the outlaws, are not allowed to receive the money, so it is stated, and collision evidently exists between them and the New Mexico sheriff to split the reward. No one would object to the money going to the soldiers if they were permitted to receive it, but there seems to be no possible grounds for the money to be paid to Sheriff Shriver. If the pro- position from Wilcox is carried out everybody will be pleased.

 The greatest danger to educational institutions of any state is to deliver them into the hands of the politicians. There be those who state that the hand of Hunt is politically apparent in the administration of some of the schools and colleges of Arizona. An instance in point, which is excit- ing the indignation of school people, is the dismissal of Dr. H. H. Blome as president of the Arizona Normal school, and the appointment of M. E. Cornelius, superintendent of the schools at Winslow, to the presiden- cy of that institution. Approximately 250 students of the Normal have ex- pressed their indignation of the transaction by going on strike as a protest. The striking students also demand the resignation of E. T. Me Gonigle and John Hennesy, two of the offending trustees. Governor Hunt should take a lesson from the fate of the impeached governor of Texas. He was not molested in his office un- til he became antagonistic to the uni versity of that state. Well, what the school folk did to him was a plenty. If half the charges made against Hunt are true the Texas ex-governor is lillywhite in comparison.
