There is fly in the ointment.
Appropriations amounting to
$40, 900 are available in this state
for road and bridge building and
improvements, and now the ques-
ton arises whether this snug
sum shall be expended under the
control of the state engineer, or
whether the commission on state
institutions shall be the directing
power. But the only interest
the poor tax payer has in the
matter is the vain hope that
perchance some of it will be
spent for the actual purpose for
which it was appropriated.

The federal trade commission

full if any of the officers of the

convicted. 1t would be too bad,
don't you know, to put felon

Julian Eltinge, the famous femi-

at the Opera House next Wednes-
day evening. This is his initial
Paramount appearance, in a seem
ario written especially for him by
Carolyn Wells and Gelett Bur-
CESS. For a number Of years
Mr.. Eltinge has made a sensation
on the stage by the number and
gorgeousness of his gowns and
it is said that in his first photo

an entirely new wardrobe of un-

There is always a bright spot
in the most disagreeable duties.
Col. Breen has grown premature
ly gray as the officer in charge
of the selective draft answering
letters from men wanting to be
relieved from service on all kinds
of excuses, but the other day he
received q letter from Miss Jes-
sic V. DeFreig, of st Johns, in
Apache county, who wanted to
offer her services in any capacity
open to her. She explained she
was teaching and would like to
finish her term that ended in
May, but that she would go at
once if necessary. 1t was such
a relief from ordinary letters
that Mr.. Breen will probably
take an hour off from his regular
duties to write a letter of thanks
to the young lady for her loyalty
even if he cannot find place to
use her in the service.

Dollar Mark on Patriotism.

At the time of the institution
of the selective draft it was ex-
pected the local draft boards in
the several counties would han
die their part of the work with
out remuneration, or at least at
a nominal expense, but the re-
port submitted of the cost of the
draft show that many of the To-
cal boards took the view that the
appointments were soft political
plums to be worked for all the
traffic would stand. Some men,
bers of these boards have got
their hooks in for as high as $3.50
a month from June 9Th to No
vember 3Oth. But the real BAN
ner bunch of grafters was one
Arizona board, the name of the
county not being disclosed, who
demanded authority to hire
and pay an Office force as fol-
lows: chief clerk $3.50, clerk and
interpreter $125, stenographer
$50, and file clerk $75. Perhaps
the members of this local board
have got a lot of relatives they
want to land on the payroll. If
the dollar mark was washed out
of the patriotism of some alleged
American citizens they would
make fine examples Of Huns and
Hessians.

Gov. Hunt has announced that
he will not be candidate for the
Office next fall. He makes this
early declaration so all the boys
in the state who have an itching
to fill the place can begin their
activities to land the job. The
Governor probably would like to
spend a few days in the closing
years of his life in the peaceful
pursuit of contentment and hap
piness, far removed from the
bowling band of place-hunters
and scheming politicians.
The Winslow mail., 1918-01-04

One of the first official acts of
Gov. Hunt on taking his seat as
governor was to appoint John j.
Sweeney, of Prescott, to the po-
sition of superior Judge of Yava-

O. Smith, who resigned his Of
flee to go east to take up Red
Cross work. Mr.. Sweeney is an
old settler of Prescott, and is said
to be a good lawyer with a fine

The new kind of store known
as a grocerteria has been devel-
oped by the war and the high
cost of living. The first one in
the state was opened at Phoenix
last week. 1t has no clerks, no
delivery, no telephone, no credit.
1t is not a "pay-as-you-enter
proposition, but a pay-as-you-
come-out scheme, with a cashier
at the door to figure up your pur-
chases. The different articles
are marked in plain figures and
placed conveniently on shelves
so every customer can serve him.

rangement greatly reduces the
overhead expense, and would
make it possible to sell at a low
er figure, but the average Amer
lean housewife is willing to pay
a little more to have a clerk wait
on her 80 she can quiz him on
the quality of the goods, and
argue to get l cent reduction
on a two dollar item. Then
again, it seems to be a recogniz-
ed symbol of poverty to be seen
carrying home purchases made
at a store, and to such ridicu-
lous extent has it been carried
that any merchant will tell you
of purchases made and ordered
delivered of a spool of thread, or
a yard of ribbon, or other equal
ly small items that could be car
ried in a purse.
Aping the cheap aristocracy in
disgusting display and reckless
expenditures is a growing beset-
ting sin with Americans as a
class. "A store that would hire a
brass band to travel around with
their delivery service, could add
five cent to the price of each ar
ticle sold, and do good busi-
ness, because there is a class of
people who want all their neigh
bors to know they are of the ar
istocracy and take no heed of ex-
penses.. What the neighbors
don't know, however, is that
many of these people with their
lavish display of extravaganza,
are the ones who beat the mer-
chant out of his bill, and know

Greatest Engine of Mercy.

The present age is one Of gi-
gantic resources, gigantic oppor-
tunities, gigantic organizations;
the efforts of individuals in every
field is united and thereby in
creased in power, One of the
most striking evidencies of this
tendency is found in the work of
the Red Cross, one of the ro-
mances of modern times. Flor
ence Nightingale stands out as a
single vivid figure, an angel of
mercy; but in this present war,
itself an example of the inter-
dependence of nations, the an
gels are in battalions, and the
work of mercy handles units,
not in terms of the individual,
but of towns and districts. AL
most the whole country is mobil-
lied, by money or by labor, in
the activity Of the Red Cross.
B. C. Forbes, in Hearst's Maga-
zine for January, tells how it
was done, in his article entitled,
'The Colossus of Mercy" The
story is one Of achievement so
great that it reads like fiction
so great that it could be nothing
less amazing than truth. He
tells how the most important
partner in the firm of J. P. Nor
gan thought it over all night and
then left his business in order to
be Chairman of the War Council
of the American Red Cross. He
tells how the membership was
increased in six months from
500, 900 to 5000, 900, and how the
sum of $780, 900. 900, at first con-
sidered impossible, was gladly
given by the American people.
The inspiration of it strikes home,
and you feel proud to share in
this mighty work of human
kindness, even if you could con-
tribute only a dollar or put in
your spare minutes knitting. Mr..
Forbes article, however, does
more than to arouse enthusiasm.
1t gives concrete, definite in
formation of the actual work ac-
complished. 1t tells how beauti-
full, devastated France is being
restored, how the rehabilitation
of $500 towns and villages is
gradually being performed. 1t
describes how Serbia, Belgium,
Roumania, Italy, Russia and Ar
menia have been succored-how
the work of the society, at first
limited to the soldiers and sailors
of the United States, has been
enlarged to include suffering hu-
manity in every accessible land
torn by war, until it won the
great tribute from Theodore
Roosevelt, who said: Second
only to the army in the work Of
winning the war comes the Red
Cross" We are all working fol
the Red Cross; but unfortunately
it is very easy for that work tt
become almost mechanical. We
need to read Mr.. Forbes article
in order to realize precisely what
we are working for, the necessity
and the value and the power Of
of the work to which our dollars
and our time contribute.

iarther at this stage OF the war than
you have done and definitely announce
that the leaders in Germany and Aus
tria guilty OF bringing on the war shall
with their lives have to pay the PEN
atty which is enforced upon any other
murderer, and that Germany shall be
compelled to repudiate it's war indebt-
edness in order that II may be able to
bear an indemnity equal to the cost
Of the war TO this country and our

pie OF Germany themselves be made
adequately to appreciate the horrors
which they have brought upon the
world and in no other way can they
be adequately punished for their
crimes.
'If we do not enforce upon Germany
and Its allies some degree Of punish
ment such as l have here suggested.
instead OF merely compelling them to
give up conquered territory. we shall
have placed a premium upon murder
and given encouragement for other
wars whenever such black criminals
can feel that there Is safety from any

rest Of the earth. The death penalty
upon the leading criminals and an
indemnity great enough to cover the
