NO USE FOR LINCOLN

Again the country has witnessed the spec tacle of Democratic opposition to the expending of money with which to preserve the memory and honor the name of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. This opposition arose during the debate on the sundry civil bill and related to various appropriations for the Lincoln Memorial in Potomac Park, Washington, D. c.
 The memorial building itself has been paid for, by the people of the country through sub- scrptions made several years ago, but the de- batable amount was for reflecting pool with which to complete this permanent memorial in proper and fitting manner. The $2O0,O ,O00 ask ed was extremely small in comparisons with the millions which the Democrats have been more than willing to appropriate for anything and nothing, without objection or criticism. But when it came to a few thousand dollars to per petuate the memory of Lincoln a great howl arose from the Democratic side of the house.
 But, arising as the champion of the cause, and assuming task which was undoubtedly most unpleasant, Representative Gallivan, Dem- ocrat of Massachusetts, reminded his fellow party members that the opposition to the vari- ous appropriations for the Lincoln Memorial al- ways comes from Democrats He shook his fists at them as he said:
 Every word of objection to the passage of this appropriation comes from this side of the aisle. do not want the house to think that as Democratic member of the committee on appropriations am in sympathy with the few Democrats on that committee who have opposed this appropriation and hope that my tongue will cleave to the roof of my mouth if l ever utter word of objection to the voting of any sum of money to beautify any monument to the greatest president this country ever had"
 The objecting amendments were voted down and the appropriation was made available.

A ONE-SIDED GAME

If the League of Nations gave any assurance that there would be no more wars, it would re- ceive the whole-hearted support of the American people. The impression is now rapidly gaining ground that such is not the case; but, on. the other hand, it will make it certain if there is war anywhere in the world, America will have to furnish the hons share of men, money and provisions to carry it on It will not be the con- scientious impulse of the American people to en- ter into the war; they will automatically be de- clared in on the war, whether or no. America secures no advantage through the league under existing conditions, but is merely allowed the privilege of helping Europe rake her chestnuts out of the fire.
 The idea is popular enough; but few years from now the people will fully appreciate the narrow escape we had and give credit to the pioneer objectors for preventing America from pledging her all and receiving nothing but trou- ble in return
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-04
CHARITY AT HOME

One of Flagstaffs leading business men made a remark the other day which has great merit. one that might well be acted upon without much reservation. He said: "We have bought bonds, donated to charitable institutions and hospitals built in other parts of the state and country; we have been held up by all sorts of drives and it seems to me that it is about time that we called a halt and spent some of this money at home, either by bonds or in cash. Some of this con- stant drain of charity should be headed off here at home for the benefit of Flagstaff"
 All of which is absolutely true. If 10 per cent of the money made in Flagstaff was spent in the improvement of Flagstaff, our own home town, it would make wonderful difference in a very short time in the business life as well as in the appearance of the city.

FLAGsTAFFS PURE WATER

Flagstaff undoubtedly has the purest and best cool spring water in the world. It is melted snow purified and filtered through volcanic cin- der, so soft it can be used for any purpose with out breaking" Many people are now having it shipped in carboys up and down the line for drinking water. Just as an evidence of it's fame colored porter recently informed tourist
 "Yes, sah, mister Flagstaff watah is de pur- est in de worl. A annilishus of it showed as how it was 112 per centum pure. Aint dat so, Mr. Riordan?" he inquired of M. J. Now, anyone knowing M. J.. would know that he wouldn't fuss about a little matter of mathematics, and he very quickly replied
 .'Yes, yes, have just heard so."

DEMOCRATIC EFFICIENCY

A very concrete example of Democratic eff ciency is shown by the most excellent manner in which the journals of the senate and house were made up-or rather, are in process of being made up when the $1O,OOO appropriation is fully and completely expended. They have been over three months on the job and have spent $6,00O or more and still have some $4,000 distance to make before they can complete both jobs-the spending of the appropriation and completing the journals. They are willing to spend the last dol lar of o. p. m. (other peoples money) on any old job. The usual cost of the job is about $7O0 and takes about 30 days. Governor Campbell refused to sign the warrants, still he might drop over to Fl Paso and let the janitor sign them.

couple of Phoenix girls were recently ar rested for going down town with their bathing suits on. There has been a general trend among the ladies for few years past to get back to the favorite styles of Eve, and we can not see just why the girls were not permitted to adjust themselves to the sentiments as expressed by the thermometer at that particular time Prob ably If the girls had come down town "alto- gether" there would have been too many to arrest.

It is plainly evident that State Game Warden Joe Prochaska does not believe the main duty of the game warden is to draw his salary, but is rather inclined to believe it his duty to protect and propagate game for true sportsmen. He has little use for the game hog" and isn't bit back ward in examining into this particular speci- mems actions at all times. Warden Prochaska's idea is to see that there is plenty of game and fish in the mountains and streams throughout Arizona and is never too busy to inspect any part of the state where things seem to be going wrong. He is natural naturalist and takes deep interest in all wild life found in the South west.

The sinking of German ships held at Scarpa Flow by Germans is only another indication that Germans will only hold the peace treaty to be "a scrap of paper" While they have signed up, the job of making them comply with the terms of the treaty will be about as large one as that of whipping them into line in the first place. They seem utterly beyond appreciating humane treatment and can only be made to see the light by being half choken to death.

It is rumored that the business men of Flag staff" do not want the free city delivery. While we have not heard any of them so express them selves and doubt the rumor, the general public might have something to say, since Inspector Dutton advises us that the city is entitled to it.. and can have it. The rural delivery may help some with the congested condition of the post office and will probably be sufficient to sde-track the original proposition.

The German representatives signed the peace treaty on the dotted line at 3:13 Saturday. The allied representatives did not rise when the Ger mans came into the room and the Germans were not invited to take anything, except the treaty, which they felt was indeed poor treat.
