Propaganda.

College professors with their
knowledge IMPRACTICAL conditions.
or rather lack of practical condi-
tlons, can produce more idiotic
theories and do more harm than
any other agency in the country.
They are enthusiastic in teaching
this stuff to the students and the
ultimate result is that the aver
age Thoroughly educated stud
ent' knows about everything
that helps to hinder, rather than
actual things that help. These
great theories" should be ampu-
tated from the college profess
sor" before he is turned loose to
inculcate mis-in- frmation to
lot of young people. Germany
tried it and see where they land
ed. Why not teach the young
people to believe that if they
cannot deliver the goods, they are
no good; that work, either physi-
cal or mental, is the only system
that will ever make success of
the student? Our country and
our schools are full of so-called
educators who have theories"
every one of that kind should
find the 'scrap-heap" immedi-
ately. What should be taught
are the practically things of life.
You don't especially need old
dirty clothes to convince the pub
lie that you are working man.
The real big thing is to be will
ing to work and have brains
enough to do some of the things
that come along to every one to
do. 1t is great to think that you
are great thinker and philoso-
pher, but the fellow who really
thinks and acts at the same time
has it all over the rest of the
" theory thinking thinkers.
Theory is great stuff, but it will
never fill an empty coal bucket
in any kind of weather. Teach
ing the practical things of life
should be the sole aim in Ameri-
ca, avoid the German idea of
teaching the things that will pro-
duce political power, and that
might makes right; we want
the rule of man to man; theories
are but the fancies of discordant
minds without some substantial
backing. -Coconino Sun.

Even at the risk of being charg-
ed with an effort to cultivate the
smiles and good opinion of the
hundreds of handsome young la
dies who are teaching school in
Arizona, we trust the coming leg
islature will make some changes
in the law that will make it pos
sible for school districts TO raise
enough money by taxation to
pay decent salaries to the teach
ers in the public schools of the
state. School districts should
have authority to pay teachers
the agreed wage for year, in
stead Of eight or nine months of
the school term. The minimum
salary for a teacher should be not
less than $1,000 year, and if the
teacher is not worth that salary
a mistake has been made in put
ting such a one in charge of the
school, and the sooner a change
is made the better. 1t is not fair
to pay teachers a meager pittance
for nine months in the year, and
have them live on their own ex-
pense for the other three months.
The only reason the high stand
ard of teachers has been main
tanned under existing conditions
is the professional pride they
take in their calling, but it is
unfair and unjust for the public
to take advantage of this ele-
ment to under-pay them for their
services to the community.

Local Happenings.

after a week at home with an at
tack of the influenza.
A baby girl appeared at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Ben
nett last Tuesday evening, and is
the motiv for family rejoicings.

will follow in a short time, as
soon as he can locate a house for
them.
L. w. Quinlan is home from
Kingman for few days to visit
the family and take a general
survey of the Babbitt store to
see how the boys are getting
along without his personal super
vision.
Geo. Cumming has purchased
the home of Ed. Harbin, and
will occupy it as residence. The
scarcity of houses to rentin Wins
low makes it necessary for fam
lily to buy a home to get a place
to live.
There will be no Christmas tree
at St. Joseph's church this year,
but at the conclusion of the ex-
ercises in the Sunday school next
morning there will be a
distribution of presents to the
children of the parish.
The country is saved. Con-
gressman Hayden is back on the
job in Washington, having been
discharged from the service. Just
prior to the closing of the last
session Mr.. Hayden was given a
commission as major and assign
ed to duty at Camp Lewis.

at Grants, N. NJ, has been pro-
noted again, and is now the
agent at Ashfork. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morgan have hosts of friends in
this city, who will be placed to

President G. E. Cornelius is
again in active charge of the
normal, his resignation
from the service having been ac-
cepted by the government. And
Immediately on the heels of this
bit of news it is rumored that
Prof. Stevenson, who was the
acting president, has resigned.
Mrs. Louise Strong, of Bata-
via, N. Y, stopped in Winslow
few days this week to visit her
nephew, E. w. Fish. She was
on her way to California to spend
the winter. This is the first time
Mr.. Fish has seen his aunt in
thirty years, and they had a good
time visiting over the family af-
fairs covering that period.
Mrs. Robt. Powell is anticipat-
ing the return of her brothers
from the army in time to eat
Christmas dinner with her. What
a hole it will make in the bank
roll to feed three husky hungry
soldiers with a Christmas dinner!
And what a sad disappointment
it will be to the boys if they
don't get here in time for that
dinner.

National Prohibition.

According to the figures compil-
ed by the committee on national
prohibition there is no longer any
doubt but what the national pro-
hibition amendment will be rati-
fled by three-fourths of the
states before the first of Febru-
ary. Already fifteen states have
passed favorably on it, and with
the exception of Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey. all
the other states are expected to
endorse the amendment soon af-
ter their legislatures convene in
January.

Several months ago when sold
ier trains were passing through
here on their way to the front we
suggested to parents that it was
a wise policy not to permit their
young daughters to be at the de-
pot without proper chaperons.
Now with soldier trains passing
through to the different camps to
be discharged this same advice
holds good. The ladies of the
Red Cross canteen service meet
these trains, and there is no rea-
son why the girls of the town
should cheaper themselves by
parading the platform and per-
mitting undue liberties from the
soldiers who are total strangers
to them. Early in the war the
government made a rule that no
young girls could be attached to
the Red Cross canteen service,
or any other department working
with the soldiers, and if the gov
ernment made this wise provis'
on to DO their part, it is up to
the parents to enforce the rule at
home.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION

We have heard that it has been
said that the new Constitution, if
adopted, could close the public
schools The editor of this paper has
about as many children as the average
man to educate, and if we believed
this we would be against the Consti-
tuition We are for the new Constitu-
ton. 1t provides for exactly the
same tax as the old one does. 1t pro
vides for II mill tax to be voted for
Just like the old constitution. In addi-
ton it provides for mill tax, if the
people vote for it, to be distributed
equally over the county-so much to
each child 1t raises the price of state
lands, which has always been bought
by spectators, from $l,25 to a mini
mum of $500 per acre, and in no case
to be sold for less than the appraised
value, and the proceeds thereof shall
be held in trust for the permanent
school fund. 1t provides for six
months school, which, if certain legis
lation now before congress passes,
and we establish six months schools,
will enable us to get one million dol
lars per annum from the United
States for rural schools-not city or
town schools. A poor man who has
children to educate cannot do them a
greater injustice than to vote against
the new constitution. The salvation
of the school children of the state is
the new constitution. No friend of
public schools should fail to vote for it

VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED
NEW CONSTITUTION

Vote to enfranchise Arkansas wo-
men, not only as reward for their
services and sacrifices in war, but for
the good of the state. Oklahoma,
South Dakota and Michigan adopted a
suffrage amendment on Nov. 9th, and
why not give Arkansas women full
franchise that they, with the help of
the good men of the state, many lend
their splendid energy and spiritual
enthusiasm toward lifting Arkansas
out of its illiteracy in many regards,
and place her on an equal footing
with other progressive states.
There are now IS full suffrage
states, and one territory. In these Is
states are 7,353,26S women of voting
age. In addition to these there are
four states, Illinois, North Dakota,
Nebraska and Rhode Island that have
presidential suffrage-all but the last
named have given women municipal
franchise, too. The women have a
voice in 213 electoral votes out of a
total of 53l The total number of
women who have presidential suffrage
is 1,145 ,292-some folks Directing,

CARL TuRPIN IS
SHOT IN QUARREL

Carl Turpin, "a years old, 1924 North
L. Street, was shot Friday morning by
Martin Van Buren,, 35 years old, at the

the assailant who is believed still to
be in the city.
According to DR.. Huffman who at
tended the case Van Buren, had an

pulled a revolver and shot at him
twice, the first bullet passing through
his stomach and passing out the back
