Boy Scouts to Dance.

The Alley Rangers, better
known as the Winslow Boy Scouts,
the best gang in town who have
always come forward with their
services when called upon, have
decided to give a dance at the
Electric theater next Friday
night, Feb. 28th, to raise money
to defray their annual camping
expenses. The tickets will cost
$1.00, and every man in town
should buy a ticket, whether he
dances or not, just to encourage
the boys. The Winslow Mail is
for. the ALLEY Rangers" all the
time, and the city or the citizens
should provide them with a club
house.

THoS. r. GREER,

We regret that the Y. M. CA.
is coming out of this war as hav-
ing failed signally to stand the
supreme test that was to make it
a great and popular organiza-
ton. 1t will contiue to exist,
and it's beautiful association
buildings in the cities will be the
club houses of the wealthy, but
its usefulness as an organization
to help struggling young men on
the road to better lives, and throw
around them wholesome infuen.
ces has been practically Destroy
ed. The millions of dollars that
have been freely given to the in
stitution during the war has been
a wasted effort, and has only
brought scandal and disgrace to
the organization. 1t failed to
measure up to the standard of it's
professions. 1t was not a war
relief worker. 1t was a profit
eer. The government should call
on the national officers of the Y.
M. c.. A. for an exact accounting
of what use was made of the
millions donated for the benefit
of the army in France. Turn on
the spot light that the people
may know if these "Y" huts
were canteen profiteers or not.
Get at the truth, if it wrecks the
organization, that a better one
may rise from the ashes.
The little town of Snowflake is
now real town under the stat.
utes of the state, having been
granted incorporation by the
board of supervisors. The first
mayor of the town will probably
be Jos. F. Smith, president of
the bank, who is probably the
oldest settler. 1t is nearly forty
years since the little town was
located by the early Mormon set
tiers, and today it boasts a popu-
lation of more than 1000. and is
one of the prettiest places in
Navajo county.

HoLBRooK, JAN. 27, 1919.
DEAR SIR
The Winslow Mail of last week
has a scurrilous and sensational
article last week about myself
which will doubtless come to your
attention.
Just as soon as the grand jury
OF this county meets, | intend to
take the matter up with them
and see if | cannot get them
to bring a criminal indictment
against Chapman for libel. |
tell you this in good faith and
ask. that you say nothing in your
paper or make answer to his at
tack in any way. You will do
me a great favor by ignoring the
matter.
The $4,000 libel suit that |
have against the gentleman is
troubling him and he is trying to
do something to cloud the issue.
AS you will perceive, he stops at
nothing. | think that I have the
character-assassin now where |
can make him extremely uncom-
Portable.
Trusting you will see that no
good can come of further repiti-
tion of his lies by copying them
or even noticing them in your
paper, | am,
Very sincerely yours,
'THOS. R. GREER,

State Industrial School.

Andrew Baumert, chairman of
the commission on state institu-
tions, has made a visit to the
state industrial school at Fort
Grant, and in his report says
conditions are most deplorable.
1t is not an industrial school, as
there are no industries maintain
ed to keep the boys employed and
directing their minds into a bet
ter channel of usefulness. The
buildings are old and run down,
and the boys are herded together
in one large dormitory. Mr..
Baumert says it will take a large
appropriation to put the school
in any decent condition, but he
thinks it ought to be done for
the benefit of the youths confn-
ed there.
In the first place the boys and
girls should not be confined at
the same school. If Fort Grant
is desirable place for the boys,
another school should be estab-
lished at some other place for the
girls. The boys school should be
conducted more on the character
Of a military training school, with
vocational features added tO>reg-
ular school work. Under proper
military supervision the boys
would be made to take care of
their own quarters, and maintain
a neat personal appearance, and
the military instruction would
give them the physical exercise
to keep them healthy and strong.
Properly conducted the institu-
tion should not be a penal insti-
tuition, but a character builder for
the youths who have not had the
proper home training to make
them desirable citizens. 1t is
the duty of the state to place
the boys in an environment where
the best in them can be brought
out, and if the state cannot or
will not do that it would be bet
ter if the boys were handled by
each county through the local
court as common prisoners.

Law by Mass Meeting.

The citizens of Williams held
a mass meeting in that city last
week to protest against the de-
cision of the Coconino county su-
perlor court, in sentencing one of
their citizens to the county Jail,
and assessing a fine, when a
jury found the defendant, one
Baumgartner, guilty of bootleg
ing whiskey. After many eulo-
CYSTIC speeches by numerous of
the local orators, a series of res
olutions were passed praying the
superior judge to grant the de-
fendant probation, as his convic-
tion was gross miscarriage of
justice. 1t will be remembered
that Baumgartner was convicted
on the evidence of detectives who
were brought to the city to ferret
out the sellers of liquor, and
Baumgartner was caught in the
net. The case was carried to
the supreme court on the plea
that the evidence of the detec-
tives should not be considered,
but the supreme court affirmed
the judgment of the trial court.
Baumgartner is an old resident
of Williams. and until he was ar
rested on this charge about
year ago, was considered one of
the best citizens of the town.

Valid Objection.

Editor Rogers, of the Prescott
Courier, objects to House Bill SO,
introduced by Eddy of Yuma
county, because it is class legls-
lation in applying only to single
men and women, and lets mar
ried men and women escape.
The objection of Mr.. Rogers is
sound, but he should remember
the legislators are all married,
and if the bill included them it
would never have a chance to
become a law.
