THE PRESIDENTS ROYAL JEWELS

When Senator Ashurst was speaking on the floor of the United States Senate the other day, he took occasion to call attention to the fact that in 1910 it had been proposed to prohibit the president from accepting gifts from foreign powers and potentates. He was interrupted by Senator Penrose, who said that he had been in- formed that the value of the gifts which Presi- dent and Mrs. Wilson had accepted from the crowned heads of Europe was approximately $1, ,000,000.O0.
 Senator Ashurst was frank enough to say that if any Democrat accepted such gifts, no matter if he did happen to be the president he would condemn him as quickly as Republican.
 'I have been told that the president and his party came back overburdened with presents from crowned heads and foreign governments" |" Senator Penrose said. There was jewelry val ued at hundreds of thousands, and 1 was told that customs authorities valued the gifts at more than million dollars"
 1t should be an easy matter to verify the re- port which Senator Penrose has heard. It will be remembered that President and Mrs. Wilson were royalty entertained by many crowned heads during the chief executives stay in Europe and it is quite natural that they should be rendered gifts of great value; but to accept them would, we think, be un-American and un-Democratic, and deserving not only of the condemnation of Senator Ashurst, but of every sef-respecting American citizen. B.
 We would not like to feel that the president of this great nation had placed. himself under obligation to foreign princes by accepting such gratuities Citizen.

HERE'S YOUR WINCHESTER BACK, COL

Winchester Dickerson, member of the Northern Arizona Commercial Co. at Flagstaff, has been appointed by the Yavapai county board of supervisors member of the Yavapai county highway commission, succeeding James E. Bark, resigned" says the Prescott Courier.
 Col Rogers editor of the Prescott Courier, is one of Gods noblemen in spite of the fact that he is Democrat, and if it were not for the fact that he has lived in Yavapai county for only forty or eighty years, we would very sarcasti- caly call his attention to the fact that the super visors of his county do not appoint residents of Coconino county-one of the highest and best in the state-to offices in Yavapai.
 While Flagstaff appeals to the people down that way as everything north of Prescott" we must get fussy about this item. We are willing to admit that Winchester Dick" is plumb good old pump-gun and will make good; and he won't skid on bad road. But we'll be hanged if we are going to have Ash Fork moved over into this county just for political purposes

WHERE WILSON LOST OUT

For good many years we have been worried and anxious as to just how the world was to be saved. Often we wondered what use there was in saving it when it seemed to be on the ragged edge all the time; in fact, it has been just one thing after another until one must conclude that if one thing does not happen another wil and, it is hard to tell which you prefer until you have tried them once at least.
 The proposed League of Nations seems to have stirred up more things than were at first thought of, and by recent revelations" we ascer- tain that the "hull' blamed trouble we went to in whipping the Huns and trying to knit the raveled edges of peace together again were all unnecessary
 We received the whole dope all in one wallop from husbandwoman who toted in "me-too- ster' in male clothes, and it could repeat what she said so fast that it sounded like solo, They handed out pamphlet with one hand each and pointed with their other hands at the thirty-two prophecies of Joanna Southcott and the "great Southcott box of sealed writings-the Ark of the New Covenant to be opened by the twenty-four bishops and the House of Lords of England. which contains the solutions of the present-day problems-1919.~
 All this vast information was sewed up in box by Joanna hundred years ago, and it is claimed that Joanna had relative who was bishop away back in 1874 who sanctioned her book of divine writings. The "hull" thing has come true, including the scarcity of gold and sugar. It was said there would be great war, and there was great war; our ships were fore told to founder = the people continued to use ships and durned if some of them didn't founder. It was foretold that Ireland would rebel. (This sounds familiar; the foretolder had cinch on this)
 In fact, many things were foretold-so many that it was an utter impossibility to miss any thing unless human nature was utterly smeared out by old Mother Earth.
 Now, the thing that these press agents want done is to compel the twenty-four bishops and House of Lords to open that box immediately; they have procrastinated for some fool reason or other and let all the things happen in the last one hundred years which have happened, with out opening that box. It is also predicted that the Kaiser will perish on water, which would in- dicate that the old cuss was going to be brought to America for trial. While they did not predict darkness on earth-after sundown = if Wilson keeps on monkeying with the clock and saves up enough time, we believe this will occur, too, un- less this covenant" is or is not opened
 Some people may not believe that there were two people insane enough to peddle such stuff through the country with their whole warped souls wrapped up in scattering "the word," but this is true story, and whole lot of people will probably be taken up with the idea at that.

The propaganda sent out by the "big five" meat packers showing how much they were do- brought tears to the eyes of the public, and for a time it seemed the bounden duty of the people to subscribe to their relief. However, it seems from recent statements made by Attorney Gen eral Palmer that the packers were really laying away few dollars now and then for a rainy day; that instead of a mere per cent profit, it ran closer to 10 per cent; and even that was just little of the cream.
The Coconino sun., 1919-10-03

From the New York Evening Sun.
 HE legend of evil fate following
 the possession of the Hope dia-
 O mond has been revived with the death of vinson Walsh Mclean, nine years old, son of MT. and Mrs. Edward B. Mclean, who was killed on Sunday by motor car in front of his home in Washington.
 The famous gem was presented to Mrs. Mclean by her husband in 1sli. It had become, widely known to the public principally through its exploita- ton by May Yohe. the American bur 1esaue actress who married Lord Francis Hope.
 Miss Yohe attributed her assertion of Lord Hope and her elopement with Capt. Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of ex-Mayor Strong of New York, to the sinister influence of the diamond. The first record of its existence. said Edward W. Streeter. the English ex- pert, was when it was in the possession of Daniel Eliason, a London dealer, who never disclosed where he had ob- tained it. That was in 1880. Sixty years ago he sold it for $65,000 to Henry Thomas Hope as bridal gift for his daughter Her son, Lord Hope, inherited it and kept possession of it until he was forced into bankruptcy, when it was ordered sold by a chancery court. The purchaser, Simon Franklin, a New York dealer, brought it here in 1901, paying duty on a valuation of $141,032. Because of it's size and the sinister name 1t had 1 acquired through Miss Yohes stories about it difficulty was found in obtain I ing purchaser.
 1 In 1908 it was taken by M. Habib of | Paris. The Sultan of Turkey had it for | a while, but the story goes that he l heard it was a stone of i'll omen ana he resold it. MT. Mclean purchased it from Pierre Cartier, the price being yariously estimated at from $1S0,0O0 to i $500, 900. The diamond is now in safe deposit vault in Washington.
 1 pr. Herbert P. Whitlock, curator of l mineralogy at the Museum of Natural History, has little patience with the popular superstition about i'll fortune being coupled with this or any other
 gem.
 .Its true that tragic incidents have followed the possession of some of the 1 worlds famous diamonds" he said l when seen at the museum, but those incidents have been usually traceable l to the cupidity of humanity
 MY own theory of the survival o1 the superstition comes in the fact tha | while diamonds are rare the misror-
 tunes of humanity are common. Ms I fortune is bound to happen in almos' any family. If that family then nap ! pens to possess rare jewel. nothins is easier than to attribute the misfor' tune to it's evil influence

No one pays much attention to the fact that man is bald unless he aa- yc-tlses the fact by wearing toupee.
 Reform makes more noise and ae- complishes less good than anything else in the world.
 Most every married man would like to he as much of heller when he IS down town as his wife thinks he is.
 They claim that the art of oratory is waning. But you would never notice lit if yea spent an hour in kaif
 Many a man has become souse ex- perimenting to see if the demon rum
 is as bad as the dry lecturer lets or it is.
 We know something about married life And we doubt if there is any po' litical boss who gets away with it al home
 After all, a gentleman is a fellow who keeps his troubles to himself anf shares his pleasures with others. A lot of married men seem to think that it is better to spend dollar fool lishly than to let their wives get holt l of dime of it.
 | If the first scene in the movie dram mer shows that the hero has curly hai end pop eyes, a woman knows that th' show is going to be perfectly lovely About the time the bride gets owe being thin she puts in all her tim worrying for fear she might get fat. 1 When lot of the 60-year-old mel of today were boys they expected t | lose their hair fighting Indians.

TRAGEDY RECALLS DIAMOND

q believe, however, that the despe- rate efforts men made in India and Africa to get some of these gems really gave reasonable ground for people dreading the shadow of their bloody history" =i
 The history of the Hope diamond is generally traced back to 1888, on the
 theory that it was originally part of the French Blue, the 1121a carat stone
 worn by Louis XIV The French Blue
 was brought from Africa by an ex-
 plorer. M. Tavernier, and bought by the Grand Monarch. It was worn later by Louis XIV and by Marie Antoinette. In
 1792 it was in the Garde Meuhle, when
 the revolutionary mop broke in and
 stole it along with the Regent diamond.
 The Regent was later returned, as the
 thief was afraid to dispose of it, but
 the French Blue was never found. When the Hope diamond came into
 the possession of MT. Eliason in 1850
 experts were inclined to think it had been cut from the French Blue It was in cushion shape and weighed 44A carats, making it the only very large blue diamond known. In 1874, when the Duke of Brunswick oispiayed another blue diamond weighing 10A carats the Brunswick and Hope diamonds were compared. They were both of the same sort of stone, described by streeter as "of most beautiful sapphire hue with an adamantine lustre of extreme bril- liancy." Another fragment, IA carats, was bought at Vienna 25 years ago by Hertz of Paris, who sold it to an En- glish lady.
 There are no almonds like these three | known today and experts are almost unanimously agreed that they were once parts of the French Blue. The few other blue diamonds in the world have nothing of the brilliancy of these | A model of the Hope diamond, dons | in glass; is on exhibition in the Mu- scum of Natural History. pr. Whitlock thinks it's beauty has been overrated i and that it fails to compare in warmth and richness of color with the Dresden green diamond, the Tiffany yellow or l the ruby red.
 1 When the almond was bought by
 Mir. Mclean, May Yohe, then playing l in a second rate theatre in Chicago 1 said:
 l q fear Mrs. Mclean will have the , same misfortunes as others. including
 myself I can trace every impulse thai
 has worked out for the worst to mo- | ments when the Hope diamond mas
 forced itself into my thoughts. when wearing the stone I was in an ecstasy
 of terror. When l removed it to be re- l turned to the vault of Lord Hopes bankers I fell into spells of dizziness that I could not explain. It may be worth a lot of money but I wouldn't ! give a tin nickel for it. l warn Mrs Mclean that she'd better dispose of it.
