CHAPTER XII.
The Thing and other Things,

~ f'9
I returned to Mr.. Jackets house
late in the afternoon of New Years
day. The schoolmaster was lying on a
big lounge in a corner of their front
room with the children about him. The
dusk was falling.
"Welcome, my laddie buck - he ex-
claimed as l entered. "We're telling
stories o. the old year an you're just
Ia time for the last O. them. Sit down,
lad, and God give we patience! It'll
500 be over"
After supper he got out his boxing
gloves and gave mt a lesson in the art
of self-defense, in which, / was soon
to learn, he was highly accomplished,
for we had a few rounds together
every day after that. He keenly EN-
joyed this form of exercise and soon
began to. My capacity for taking pun
ishment without flnchlng grew apace
and before long l got the knack of
countering and that pleased him more
even than my work In school, l have
sometimes thought.
"God bless We, boyl" he exclaimed
one day after l had landed heavily on
his cheek, "ye've a nice way o. sneakin'
in, with yer right. I've a notion ye
nay find 1t useful some day"
/ wondered a little why he should
say that, and while / was wondering
he felled me with a singing blow OF
my nose.
"Ah, my lad-there's the best thing

back with no mad in ye," he said as hC
gave me his hand.
One day the schoolmaster called tn,
older boys to the front seats in hi
room and l among them.
"Now, boys, I'm going to ask Y,
what We want to do in the world" h,
said. "Don't be afraid to tell me wha
ye may never have told before and II
dc what l can to help ye."
For some months l had been study
ing a book just Published. entitled
"Stenographic Sound-Hand," and ha,
learned its alphabet and prncticed tn
use of 1t. That evening l took dow
the remarks of Mr.. Hacket in sound
hand.
The academy chapel was crowde
with the older boys and girls and tn
tcwpfolk. The master never clippe

? do when talking Familiarity with tn
, children.

Abusing Land Commissioner.

The Winslow Wall has been ac-
cused of unjustly criticising the
acts of our state land commits
sioner, who is dubbed by Dun
bars Weekly as Honest Billy"
Mouer, and to prove his position
Dunbar quotes tn e land law
wherein it is the duty of the
commissionerto approve all trans
fers of leases. Now, while Un-
Gle John is so busy quoting the
law, we trust he will quote the
following from the public land
code, Section 81, and give us a
valued treatise on how faithfully
Honest" Billy is adhering to
the law. Section 81 is as fol-
lows:
In case two or more applicants
apply to lease the same land, the
commissioner shall approve the
application of the one, who, after
investigation or hearing by the
commissioner h all appear to
have the best right to such lease,
but If it should appear that none
of the applicants has any rights
or equities superior to those of
another, the commissioner may
after a stated time, and after due
notice to all such applicants, re-
ceive sealed bids submitted in ac-
cordance with such rules and reg
ulations as the commissioner may
adopt, and shall approve the ap
plication of the bidder, who, in
all respects is eligible to hold a
lease upon the land and will pay
the highest rental therefor.
When Honest" Billy explains
why this section is observed more
in the breach than in the observ-
ance, which will be very satis-
factory to such democratic edit
ors as Mr.. Mills of the Messen-
ger, we will quote another Sec
tion of the public land code for
more explanations. The one
section Honest" Billy is observ-
ing very closely, over which there
can be dispute, is the one relat-
ing to his salary, and drawing
his stipend monthly from the
state treasurer.
The Winslow mail., 1919-05-30

"Some months ago The Mes
senger spoke of the editor of the
Winslow Mail as an able, consist
ent and instructive writer. Now
we wish to take it all back and
apologize to the public for that
hasty opinion. Keeping about
three weeks behind the whining
press, he opposes the league of
nations, abuses Uncle Billy Moeur
for the action of the fourth leg
islature and misquotes the attor-
ney general" Messenger.
We are not surprised at the
Phoenix Messenger. Mr.. Mills
belongs to that class of demo
cratic editors who would enter
no protest if the democratic
state officials stole the Goddess
of Liberty off the capitol build
ing, providing he was getting
his share of the official patron
age from the officials. He prides
himself that he is one of the dem
ocrats who supports the admins
tration, being a better party man
than a patriot. The Winslow
Mail editor is not running a news
paper for official patronage, and
a republican or democratic Of
fetal who fails in his duty to the
people gets no comfort or sup
port from the editor. Mr.. Mills
Messenger is simply a time-serv-
er for democratic ce-holders.
and he is ever ready with his
snivelling sycophancy to add to
the gate receipts of the counting
Office. His opinion of the writer
concerns us very little, as we can
have him spilling his fulsome
fattery any time we find it nee
essary to criticise some republi-
can official for dlrelection of
duty, or pay a deserved compli-
ment to some democratic official.

The League of Nations is not

The League of Nations is not
a partisan political question. It
is the hobby of sentimental fad
dists in all the different par
ties, even including the socialists.
Our democratic friends who con-
slider it crime to get out of step
with their democratic President
on any issue, whether right or
wrong, should remember that
ex-President Taft was the origi-
nal sponsor for a League of Ma
tions, and the last time he ran
for the Presidency he found him.
self without a party. The un-
frocked preacher, Heron, who
is socialist and advocate of free
love, is also another strong ad-
vocate of a League of Nations.
He is strong for the family tie of
nations, but not for family ties
in the human race. Here we
have them. A repuidiated So
cialists, a repudiated republican,
and soon repudiated democrat,
all standing for a League of Ma
tions, ready to sacrifice the lib
critics and independence of our
government, while the mass of
our people are opposed to sur
rendering their rights and priv
ileges and forced into an alliance
with European powers.

The Arizona Leader says it has
been informed that betting two
to one is being offered in Hol-
brook that oil in commercial
quantities will be struck in the
Holbrook fields by July 4th. It
is just such talk that is response
BILE for the daily growing senti-
ment that Holbrook field is simp-
ly a stock jobbing boom with no
prospect for oil. There will be
no oil struck in that field by July
4th, in any quantity, for the
simple reason that no we'll in the
field will be deep enough by that
time. 1t is the boomers who are
out after the money they can get
from suckers who are making
these wild predictions, and their
only interest in the field is to get
the money, with no thought or
care whether oil is discovered or
not.

President Wilson'S suggestion
to Congress that the war time
prohibition law that is effective
July 1st, be suspended, has STIR
red up a real hornets nest, and
Mr.. President has reason to be
thankful he is in Paris. On the
face of it his recommendation
appears to be bargain and sale
of the remnant of the democrat
ic party to the distillers and the
brewers.

Let us hope that the time will
soon come again when the Presi-
dent of the United States will
represent one co-ordinant branch
of our government, and be a
servant of the people. For six
years now Mr.. Wilson has been
usurping power of all other de-
partments of the government
until he thinks he is the divinely
annointed dictator to the people,
and his edict must be accepted
without question.
