OUR MORNING BLUSH
c. c. H., Editor


 The council of the Water Users Association showed its good brains when it approved the proposition to take over and operate the cement plant as suggested by the highway commission, which we have honored with the quaint monicker "the board of tactics"
 The board of governors is now stirred up and has promised to inves- tlgate the proposition before ordering an election by the hoi polloi of the as- sociation. From our own personal oD- servations we know that the rabole IS for this proposition like Ivory soap s9 9-10 per cent pure. The cement bonds will float too.
 It gives the Cancels Back great sat lsfaction to have been up early in the morning to advocate such a progres- sive policy on the part of the Water Users Association And it is with pardonable pride that we observe that it is the early journalistic bir2 that gets the worm of public approval and acclaim. (See our sworn circulation statement). Always alert to foresee and urge vital improvements in Phoe- nix and the valley, from the inaugura- | tAOh Ol SlftSl ldLlpo lO lilS ulSliA ApuliOu 1 of daily papers by balloons, the Camers Back gazes into the crystal of the future and sees tremendous ad- vantage in the buying of the cement mill, far beyond the present program of road building. This crystal gazing, of course, is merely one of the dazz- ling accomplishments of the Camels Back all of which our subscriber is free to enjoy.
 | And while the Camers Back was i the originator-the pioneer, you might say-of this plan to have the Water 1 Users take over the cement plant, and while we stood almost alone for a | long time in advocating this step, yet we beg of our subscriber not to drupe all of the mantle of praise and glory on our modest shoulders. Let some 1 of it-even if but a teeny-weeny cor . ner-fall with due grace and charm upon the shoulders of some of our i lesser contemporaries such as the Ga- zette, and the Republican, and the Tribune, and the Tombstone Pros- pector and the Chicago Daily News l and the New York Times. And then if there be just a bit of the robe of glory hanging over, let it reach across | Niit otdS anu lIN lO tiliDl dC6 lHe Lon don Times, because it is said by ou, enemies that the Times had as much to do with the success of the plan as | we did
 We will not quarrel with them Gents. Let the robe fall on the Times, too, if there's enough to gc round.
 And come to think of it, the high way commission is unstinted in theli praise of the CameIs Back because o- the invaluable assistance we have beer as the originators and pioneers of uni. cement mill plan. Our modesty stay. us from printing all of the praise ", have had from the commission, but ar ideer of what it amounts to can b, gleaned from a partial account of al interview one of the commissioner! had with our reporter. He said, witi tears brimming in his eyes and tn, lump in his throat acting as though I had been left out in the rain ove night: We was up against it abou this here cement stuff. Already VI felt the clutches of the cement trus strangling the money out of the pock cts of the taxpayers and stalkin; through this fair valley breathing de struction and poverty as it rode. AnC just as it looked like our plans wa. going "blouey" up comes the Camel, Back with it's original plan for mak
