Because Of unSanitary conditions
existing at a State road camp at SIS
sonville, w. Va, Governor Cornwell
pardoned the whole crew of prisoners
working there, numbering thirteen.
The action of the Governor followed

conditions were not only unsanitary,
but that the prisoners were inhumanly
treated.

The Lazy Palefacc.

According to a well-known railroad
man, interested in construction in the
West, the Indian, though himself not
overly fond of work, evinces the great
est contempt for the indolent white
man. To sit by and watch the latter
toll is to the red man a source OF
never-lailing pleasure.
A number of Blackfeet in Montana
were, according to this railroad man,
one day Squatting on the ground watch
ing a group of laborerS who were con-
structing a grade for branch line in
that State. In their lacOnic fashion
they were commenting upon the work
men and their work, when a surveyor
riding on a bicycle, the first the In
dams hal ever seen, came along. He
had left the train at the last station and
was going to the fort, a little father
on.
The Blackfeet watched the wheel
man without a word until he had pass
ed beyond the hill. Then they eX-
pressed their sentiments with regard
to him.
"Ugh!" grunted one, white mar
heap lazy"
"Yes," assented another, "whitc

PROFETEERING IN PUBLICITY
- II, joy! But it's a scream!
X Twisting the tails of the pr

"a H Twisting the tails OF the prOflteerS IN our
~ great cities is the fad of the hour.
It's great sport, because the tWisters soar in the
spotlight of publicity and the profiteers are never
hurt.
First our public officials of the country an
nounced with mighty bray campaign of extermi-
nation against the profiteers Prosecutions by the
wholesale were planned. Jais were to be filled to
overflowing.
Congress stood upon it's hind legs and beloved
Justify
The press Of the great cities howled with glee
1t played the story up to the limit and our noble
prosecutors reveled in the spotlight of publicity.
Everybody's names was in big type and all were
deriously happy.
= But that was all.
Nothing happened Of course not; for every
body is profiteering, and everybody has a vote at
the next election.
How could congress do more than below with
the end of its term in sight? How could the poor
prosecutors be expected to jail the very men who
elected them to office?
Never! Quite out of the question!
Therefore, exit the male enterminator in halo
of camoufage, automatically hosting woman into
the seat of glory from whence he fled in dismay.
But the women were brave. What mere man
could not do they would accomplish.
They planted both feet in the arena and looked
around for the reporters No publicity no exter-
mination. They get the pub.
But wait!
Soon they will discover that the great houses
that sold them their sealskins, and their gowns and
all of their other fnery profiteers Of profteers
And everywhere they turn they will find that
their neighbors and their relatives and their friends
and even their dear and loving husbands are goug
ing others to the limit of gougibility.
Will they send their own bubbles to prison?
Impossible
Such thing would be terrible shocking, and so
embarrassing.
But what can the dear things do?
All! Here it is.
Advise everybody to eat less, and wear less
and then if everybody eats more and wears more it's
everybodys fault, and in particular is to
blame.
Great scheme! It's quite harmless, and can be
worked as long as the spotlight continues to shine
and the public is willing to be guled.
Profiteering? Sure! Everybody's doing it.
And the jails are still empty.

Of few adobe huts sets in wilder

desert, John ]. Matney has arrived in
Phoenix to spend the holidays and
winter in Phoenix with his nephew,
David H. Shultz, 115O East Van St.
Mr.. Matney is probably the only
person in Phoenix the almost metro
politan city of today, who knew it in
the days before it had reached the
dignity of a hamlet. He was a resi-
dent of the present city As years
ago.
When Mr.. Matney lived here what
is now Phoenix consisted of a few
adobe huts and a single small ditch,
almost invisible in sea of cotton
woods and sunflowers. The place
was a little Mexican village, with one
white man as store proprietor. 9th
ers towns in the state we're equally
non-existent. Bisbee at that time
consisted of two tents, while what is
now Nogales boasted of one tent as
it's sole edifice.
Mr.. Matney has the record of hav-
ing been g pioneer of three states
Missouri, Idaho and Arizona. His

paper. 1t is copy of the New

1t contains the first reports Of the
assassination of President Lincoln
and the attempted assassination of

paper has been in the possession of
the Gearhart family since that fatal
day and is very highly priced
