With Fourth of July speeches being made ready all over the United States a lot is being thought about what good citizenship really is. A man who punched cows with Theodore Roosevelt long ago in Montana says this is how Roosevelt described a good citizen fn a speech at a COW boy Fourth of July celebration:
 The best citizen of the United States is the man who is the best citi- zen of his own state, and the best citi- zen of his own states is the man who is the best citizen of his own county, and the man who is the best citizen of his own county is the man who is the best neighbor in his own neigh horhood. Being a good citizen is just heing on the square with yourself and everybody around you.'
 Let's Remember a Little While
 Don't think I'm getting things mixed and running my Frontier Day page a week ahead of time. Not much! This page will give the most genuine from tier stuff ever-something to make us realize how far our beautiful Mile High City and good old Yavapai have travelled to reach a Frontier Day with automobiles and flying machines as well as bucking broncos-but now let us remember some things that will make us enjoy the fun all the better.
 When the trinket and treasure ex- hibit of jewelry and metal given to provide hospital comforts for our avia- tors was shown in a Prescott window a few of us looked long at a silver medal won for bronco riding at one of the first big tournaments held in Yavapai. Perhaps some one else re- membered the slender young rider, long since dead, and the panther-lik leap by which he cleared himself of his horse as it reared and fell, then ;prang again to the saddle and won the medal with cheers from his com rades who better than any of us real ized his wonderful riding.
 We didn't call it Frontier" day hen-for this was the real frontier, md the stunts" were all part of the everyday work of our cattlemen, or part of their play on the brief and in- frequent holidays. Moving picture cowboys" were unknown then, along with the undiscovered movies" and the few dry plate cameras in Arizona were hardly swift enough in action to
 atch much of the sports. Those were the days when Arizona was supreme ly a cattle country and the Fourth of July was supremely

 A big mountain steer shot out of the ''prather,' urged on by yells and the crack of pistols aimed skyward At the back of his bloodshot eyes he saw freedom and the safe cover of the scrub pinyon on the hogback down which he had been dragged the day before. He stretched his long yellow legs right yearningly toward that dis tant goal but the man behind was seeing visions of high h-curbed sun fishing" broncos carved cunningly by the best saddle maker in the south west on the broad skirts and sweeping tapideros of a saddle worth a dozen claybank steers.
 The hard little hoofs of the cow pony rattled over the stones; ''kis- wishity, swishity, swing, out in a big, graceful poising loop the swift, supple rawhide riata swung and set tied over the broad horns with the swoop of a hawk.

York hotels are filled with trunks and
bags left by soldiers who have never re-
turned to claim them, and there is also
a lot of baggage left by people who went
to Europe before the United States en-
tered the war, and who were then unable
to get back.
From time to time the hotels turn this
baggage over to their attorneys to be sold
at public auction. Mr.. Harry Livingston,
who does the auctioning, has his store
room back of an antique shop on Thirty
first street. Twice a month this place is
the scene of a mad riot, while specula-
tors and dealers fight for the goods. The
interesting feature of the sale is that
the baggage is sold with absolutely no
guarantee that it contains anything of
value In fact, the lack of this guarantee
is expressly stated in the ad, which the
law provides must be inserted in the news
papers before the sale takes place.
Every piece of baggage is supposed to
arrive at the auction room securely fas-
tened in the condition in which it was
found when the guest vacated. AS soon
as it is ascertained that a guest has fed
without paying his bill, trusted employe
of the hotel is sent to the room, who ex-
amines the contents of the baggage
especially letters, papers and even laundry
marks-with view of securing some
marks of the missing culprit. Any infor-
nation obtained is written out and filed
with the mans account. In most cases
the man has @his trail so we'll covered that
it is impossible to trace him. but when
the time for the sale of his property oc-
ours notice is sent to whatever address
is found in his effects. This seldom re-
suits in anything but waste of postage
1t has been complained by purchasers
that much of the baggage is tempered
with and many articles of value removed
before it is sent to the auction rooms,
so most Of the higher-class hotels now
have each trunk and suit case firmly
sealed before it is taken rom a bedroom.
The other day there were at least dozen
trunks stacked in the auction room, whose
locks had obviously been opened.
"That isn't fair" said Mr.. Livingston,
as he pointed to them one by one. eff
all the hotels would adopt the sealing
system they'd get more money from the
SALE
Besides the piles of =. trunks and bags
there were many musical Instruments
one violin cello, several mandolins and
violins-and miscellaneous articles such
as work baskets, mirrors and even small
pieces of furniture.
"The hotel kept that cello for three
years before it sent it down here" said Mr..
Livingston, "hoping that the man would get
the money 10 pay mis- Dill anu regain pos
session of it. The management knew the
man-but he never seemed to be able to

LISTEN TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
By DR.. Frank Crane

In letter in which George Washington was
inviting his friend Colonel Humphreys to spend
the winter of 1887 with him in Mount Vernon
enclosing a copy of the rrol oSed constitution
of the United States he said: "The conSttu-
ton that is submitted is not free from imper-
fections; but there are as few radical defects
in it could we'll be expected, considering
the heterogeneous mass of which the convention
composed and the diversity of interests
which were to be reconced. constitutional
door being opened, for future alterations and
amendments | thpk it would be wise in the
people to adopt what is offered to them, and
| wish it may be by as great majority of
them as in the body that decided on it."
Read these words of George Washington
over carefully. Substitute the treaty of peace,
including the League of Nations, now under
discussion, for the constitution, the adoption CT
which was then under discussion, and you will
see at .nce the common sense solution of the
whole matter.
There may be difference of opinion about
the league, but the people of the United States
almost unanimously want SOMETHING done,
and done right away
Two plans have been proposed First, to
ratfy the treaty, but to accompany this act by
reservations" The objection to this is thar
it amounts to saying "Pll pay, but | think you
charge too much" 1t is merely protest.
Second, amend the treaty. This would send
it back to the Peace conference, and open up
the whole question again. 1t would invite and
authorize every Other nation, INCLUDING GER
MANY, to make new conditions 1t would in
definitely postpone peace 1t would work in

The third plan may be called GEORGE
WASHlNGTON'S PLAN, for it is precisely what
he advised as to the ratification of the conSti-
tuition.
For it recognizes what the quarreling parti-

. o the Senatorial faction that is see

tn the Senatorial faction that is seeking
to destroy the Peace Treaty by rejec-
ton or, what is little better, to dis
Eupt 1t by amendments, the New York
Times puts the pertinent question: Glow
much longer do you think the American
people are willing to rest under war condi-
tons, and how do you think the people will
like the reopening of the war prospect?"
That we are indeed under war conditions,
the plainest and commonest circumstances
of our economic life bear witness. The
army, it is true, il virtually disbanded,
while the machinery which made US effective
for war has been scrapped or converted to
other uses But if we no longer are prepar-
ed to fight, we assuredly are just as unpre-
pared tC garner the blessings Of peace. 1t is
now almost year since the armistice went
into effect; yet we are in well-nigh as dubious
a frame of mind as we were last winter. The
. uncertainty and abnormality of war times
still hang upon us like a cloud. Prices con-
tinue high beyond precedent, and the pro-
cesses of production, which afford the only
sure remedy, are hindered and delayed by
doubts of what lie ahead. Important re-
gions Of Europe are waiting for American
credits and American materials wherewitn
II repair the wars Wreckages and regain
something of their wonted prosperity. But
these paths of service and enterprise as well
as those of purely domestic industry are OBJ
structed by the fact that there is yet no tell

what sort of world we are to live in Presi-

Prices and the Farm.

Ice in adduCing figures to show that
whilst the farmer is decidedly more pros

crease In living costs and is anything but a
profteer After observing that planters are
the only class of producers who have no Or
ganlzat1on to control output and Influence
prices, the Chronicle quotes an authority to
the effect that good truck land which once
sold adjacent to cities, for twenty-five dol
lars an acre, now brings as high as five nun
dred or eight hundred dollars an acre. This
is but one among scores of increases in the
cost OF farming. Implements, fertilizers. la
Dor, transportation, all go to swell the &C.
count and to cut down profits which the
uniformed might consider exceedingly high.
Then comes this pungent remark:
IF there is one man in the world who
ought TO get nigh prices and good prices,
that man is the farmer. He works hard

greater difficulties than any other man.

For all this, Georgia farmers who have
learned the wisdom of diversifcation and
who read the signs Of the times keenly
enough to raise abundant food crops, are not
complaining. They know that they dwell in
one of the rarest lands that ever nature
smiled upon; they have good reason to ex-
pect that for years to come there will be a
steady and fairly profitable market for all
the meat and. grain they can produce; and
they are, accordingly, sober optimists.
