THE SENATE IGNORED

FRANK H. SIMONDS writing from Paris in N the Washington Star, blames President Will son for not having program ratified in ad- vance by the senate and indorsed by the people of the United States. He states further that if such a course had been pursued the president might have imposed very considerable portion of 1t upon the nations of Europe If Mfr Simonds reasoning is correct, then the president has no one to blame but himself. The senate and the people of the country were ready, willing and anxious to know just what he proposed to do but he utterly disregarded such a course and failed to take either the senate or the people into his confidence. MT. Simonds says:
 Tt will be seen, then, that in all of the great problems it was impossible for the Paris con- ference to reach clear-cut decisions. Had MT. Wilson brought a program ratified in advance by the senate and indorsed by the people of the United States, he might have imposed con- siderable portion of it upon the nations of Flu rope. When he was unable to bring such organ ization upon the nations here represented, and that the league of nations was inevitably bound to remain loose confederation of likeminded na- tions, destitute of power to enforce its decisions and condemned to rely upon moral influence
 And later on he adds .r
 Confronted by the facts of the European sit uation, MT. Wilson and those associated with him saw very quickly how different the world of fact was from what they had imagined at a distance of 5000 miles.
 "They found the old difficulties confronting them of being powerless because they had no spc- cified remedies for diseases all mankind had sui fered from and hated. In way they found themselves merely denunciators of disease and not physicians with healing remedies
 Can it be then, that MT. Wilson is returning, not alone for the purpose of signing bills, but with cry for help and plea for some sugges- tion from the senate and the people to straighten the Chinese puzzle which has developed so grad uay and yet so well in Paris?

I. w. W. MAKE GOATS OF LABOR.
THE SEATTLE and Butte strikes are illus
 trations of the effect of organized radical

THE SEATTLE and Butte strikes are illus trations of the effect of organized radical ism making goat of organized labor
 The men had no just cause to strike hence public sentiment failed to support them.
 The public knew this was no time to ask for an increase in war wages as in the Seattle case. It also knew that with drop of nearly ten cents a pound in the price of copper, and with cor responding drop in lead, that mines would either have to close or wages be reduced below the war scale.
 The honest workmen also knew these facts The Seattle strike was dismal failure and so far as the mines are concerned there is no alter native but to reduce operating costs to meet the present low price of metal or close.
 This reduction in miners wages of $100 a day does not offset the drop of nearly one-third in the price of metal. ..~,
 In commenting on the situation at Butte, Scott Leavitt, U. s. director of employment for Montana, said: 'I am glad to see tendency among local union men to recognize the unusu- alness of the present conditions and to show a willingness to get together and solve the prob lem. Bolshevsm and labor have nothing in con- mon, the Russian importation is the worst enemy of organized labor in the United States today and its attempts to lure labor to follow its path should be resented by all true union men,"
 Common sense and cooperation will keep the mines open with employment for thousands at good wages.
 Strikes will close the mines and cause un- employment for thousands.
 Remember, the war is over, so are wal prices and war wages.

 The Mormon expedition into old Mexico was for the purpose of con- verting the Yaqui tribe of Indians.
 Twenty-nine' oldtimers swore off and quit drinking in Tucson on Jan. 1st. Flagstaff has a parallel case in the man who swore off 29 times in the same day.
 w. w. Prentiss has been in the city during the past week.

 w. H. Ashurst and Henry B. Lock. ett are visiting the Grand Canyon.
 The social given last evening at ths residence of J. c. Lockett was one of those pleasant gatherings that drowr the dull cares of life and leave hap. py impressions on the mind.
 J. W. Wainwright and Daniel Seg' miller from the ranges north of the peaks report favorable weather anc stock looking splendid. Judge John A. Rush and J. c Meredon stopped over a day to visit Flagstaff friends while enroute tt the district court at St. Johns.

JOINS Y. NJ. C. A. WORKERS.

Roland A. Fuller, this seasons coach for the Normal schools basket ball team, left Flagstaff last Tuesday on his way to New York and from there after brief stay, to some out post of the Y. M. c. A., probably with the army of occupation at Coblenz, Germany MT. Fuller takes up his new work with the Y. M. c. A. with the best wishes of a host of friends that he has made during his stay here, and they all predict for him a bril- liant future in the "Y" work, for which they say he is peculiarly fitted. The length of his stay overseas could not be foretold, but he will probably stay until the last of the army of oc- cupation leaves for the states, and will continue in the work after return ing home, according to his plans when he left.

WHO PAYS DEFICIT.

THE BIG FOUR brotherhood of railroad enl-
 ployes proposes joint ownership of rail roads by the government, the employees and railroad officials.
 A return of four per cent interest to be guaranteed and employees to share in the profits.
 No mention is made of who will pay the de ficits which, according to reports, have climbed to some $25O,000,000 for the past year in spite of greatly increased rates to meet the billion a year wage increase.
 Of course this minor item of deficits would be left for the tax payers to pay for it is appa- rently case of "heads 1 win, tails you lose" proposition so far as the taxpayer is concerned.
 Why not get back to 3 first principles as Americans, turn the roads back to the owners under proper government supervision and let the owners give the service, foot the bills and make money if they can.
 After our experience of the past Is months no one has the temerity to claim government operation will ever give as good service at as cheap rates as private ownership.

K. J. Nackard of the New York

K. J. Nackard of the New York store has made some very commenda- ble changes in the interior of his place of business. A new arrange ment of show cases, the elimination of some shelving so as to have more light, and the fixing up of fine of- flee at the front of the store make its appearance much more pleasing. The changes should enable the force to give better service to their already satisfied customers.
 E. L. Whitton, an old time Flag staff resident, was in town this week from Seligman, his present home, looking after little business here. He is now working in the Santa Fe shops in that place.

HERE ARE THE HIGH LIGHTS


CECRETARY REDFIELD, speaking before the ,N National Retail Dry Goods association in New York, on Lincons birthday said: 'The con- dition of the country is sound The number of failures is small. The bank resources were never larger or more liquid. Amreica stands firmly on her feet without fear of the future, BUT ''We have great loan to face and heavy taxes to pay but we shall meet them fearlessly and sue cessfully and in few months shall find that our faces are turned toward bright and prosperous future" Do the American people need to be as- sured by William, the camp follower, that they will face the problem of another large loan and heavy taxes, "fearessly and successfully" The American people have sacrificed much and will lingly but the figurehead secretary of commerce failed to mention that much of this heavy taxing is due to the extravaganza of party which has spent money like drunken man. The people will not forget thisspart of the little picture and when that bright and prosperous future" 'ap- pears on the horizon, which MT. Redfield has so beautifully pictured it is safe bet that neither he nor his kind will be in office to make it possi- ble or welcome it in.
