THE CRITICS HAVE "FALlEN
DOWN"

fairer proportions. and they have
brought only shame upon themsel-
YES.
They first trained their pop-guns
on Wilson. In an issue of the Ocala
Banner Of 1918 is a letter from a,
prominent republican in this state in
which he says:
1T is a fact that the Washington
in the matter Of its
foreign policy, has made itself ridicu-
l0us. I'm the Mexican matter
the administration is completely lost
in the woods. We are in the
hands of amateurs and theorists and
the American people will not long
tolerate such emasculated policy
In another article the same writer
says that to compare Wilson with
Huerta as statesman, diplomat or
what not is to laugh"
We were told by the same writer
that the wiley Mexican had outwitted
Wilson completely and had left him in
pitable object for contemplation
The nation saw the wiley Mexican
die in prison with German money in
his pocket, with none SO lost in de-
cency and shame as to do his rever-
ence.
In the meantime Mr. Wilson has
broadened out into the most com,
handing figure Of all the world.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels. secretary Of
the navy, next became a target for
satire and abuse 1t was thought
that he was an easy mark and they
would make him dance to their music
like a jumping jack, but under their
satiricaI and caustic criticism he
grew into large and still larger pro-
portions and now none name him but
to praise
They went on down che line until
only Creel was left. His crucifxiou
was easy and he was shown no quar-.
ter.
Golfers was not at all friendly to
the administration but after going
across the water and becoming ac-
quainted with Mr.. Creers work over
there, Mark Sullivan tells us that
it may almost be said that "CreeI
won the war" He managed to fiji
Germany and Austria-Hungary with
literature that fell deep into the
hearts of the masses and made the
overthrow of those governments pos
sible.
The unheaIthful and unsanitary
condition at Brest was next fercely
criticised but the statements Of the
critics IS vehemently and flat-footedly
denied by General Pershing.
The critics are still unsatisded and
have again launched their batteries
Of abuse upon Hon. Newton D. Baker,
secretary of war Young, inexperien-
ced in statecrart and without military
training, they singled him out from
the beginning as an EASY nrav ann hA-
gan dafanatorv abuse

Navajo Club Entertains

The Navajo Club held a meeting at the Stake House, in Snowflake, Wednesday evening, at seven-thirty p. m. The large hall was filled to overfiowing and much in- terest was manifested by all those present. A number of very interesting speeches were made, the great burden of these were good roads. The greater part of the road from Holbrook to Snowflake is in very good shape and it was urged that the balance of this road be made in good condition. That such a road would bring the two towns closer together and estab- fish a more friendly feeling with the people. In other words with good roa d S through the south part of our county Holbrook and the business men of Holbrook would become better known, and it was urged at the meet ing that it was the interest of every citizen of Navajo county to see that we had better roads. Lee Carron, of Babbitt Mercantile Co.,, and Judge Sidney Sapp were among the speakers of the evening.
 The Club was also enter tained with music, rendered by the entertaining com mittee.

Utah Road Fund For
 Two Years $8,OOO,OOO

c. H. Bigelow, who has
 been in Phoenix since the be.
 ginning of the legislature tc
 interest Arizonans in the
 matter of co-ordinating with
 Utah in good roads building, received encouraging word yesterday from Representa- tive Joseph H. Snow, chair man of the good roads com mittee of the Utah legisla- ture. MT. Snow is a son of President Snow, former head of the Mormon church.
 He writes that the legisla- ture has just added another million dollars to the state road fund so that. with the bond issue and the amount that will be received from federal sources, the state will have $8,000, 900 to ex- pend for good roads in the next two yards.
 MT. Snow added that the state would construct and maintain an automobile highway from Salt Lake City to the Arizona state line. He was very much gratified to learn that the legislature of Arizona had authorized to the construc- tion of a bridge across the Colorado in Mohave county. House Bill IFS, the measure recently introduced and pass ed in the house, appropriat- ing $50, 900 for the construc- tion of the Arizona section of the Arrowhead trial to connect with the Utah road near St. George, will be be- fore the senate today for final disposition.

Clark Addition a Splen-
 did Asset to HoIbrOOk

With the completition Of over $1, 900. .00 worth of ex- cellent streets and sidewalks the Clark Addition has with lout doubt become one of the
 most desirable building sites in Holbrook. MT. G. c. Hall,
 who has charge of this addi- Ition, has shown good judg- ment in having this work
 done, for with good streets such as have been construct ed in this addition there re- mains nothing to be done to make it a beautiful spot in
 which to live. The property covered by the Clark Addi-
 tion is located at a point
 which must necessarily re-
 main the principal residential section of the town, the western boundary line run ming due northfrom the High School grounds, and tn e eastern boundary line run ningnorth with Porterstreet,
 which is the principal busi- ness street of Holbrook.

Influential Investors
 Arrive in HOIbrOok

A. B. Lee, A. Swan and
 Arthur Brookmiller of Tue son, arrived in Holbrook
 Wednesday the 18th, and will remain for a few days and look the Holbrook oil field over. These men rep- resent powerful interests in the east, and should they conclude, after a thorough examination of the oil field, to place drilling rigs on the land they own, and we un- derstand they own a consid- erable number of acres in what is considered the best of the field for the purpose of drilling wells, these rigs will all be of the best and every effort will be made to drive the we'll to the oil sand in a short time. This is an- other big boost for our oil field.

Discovery of Oil
 Changed Conditions

Some of the West Texas far mers who deserted their homes last summer in pitiful white lines of old prairie wagons are now going back in automobiles. Driven out by three years of drought, they are going back as oil men.
 Stretches of land where the drought had virtually withered every leaf of vegetagion and from which the disheartened farmers departed for the cotton fields and other more prosper our sections, are within the new oil district.
 Some of the farmers who struggled, almost penniless, from the ''parched zone" a few months ago can qualify as oil magnates, according to Vance Muse of the Fort Worth Cham Der of commerce, who has just completed a tour of Ranger, Eastland, Cisco, Breckenridge, DeLeon, German and other towns in the heart of the new oil district. He says the popu- lation in many counties, almost completely deserted last sum- mer, has reached unprecendent- ed figures.
 Leases are being sold for a few acres at vastly larger sums than entire farms would have brought a year ago and enor- nous investments have been made.
 The legislature had expected to adopt measures for relief of drought sufferers, but since the discovery of oil interest has been shown in the proposed ac- tion. There have been abund- ant fall rains that assured crops in districts outside the oil terri tory.
