GREAT EXPONENT OF LIBERTY
Simon dc Montfort, Earl Of Leicester
Known as "Father Of English
House Of Commons"

The first great democrat in England
was Simon de Montfort, earl Of Leices-
ter, who was slain in battle 654 years
ago as the leader Of the rebellious
barons. Simon de Montfort was also
the spokesman for the great masses
of the people, and he held that 1t
was the duty Of the mobiles to stand
between the people and the monarch
as guardians of their liberties, to
watch over the exercise of the royal
power and prevent its abuse. In the
great battle of Lewes in 1854 the bar
ons, under the command Of de Mont
fort. completely defeated the king and
the royalist party. In the battle OF
Evesham on August Of the following
year the tables were turned and the
democratic earl was killed and the
barons sustained a ruinous defeat.
During the brief period of Simon's as
tendency, however, he had laid the
foundation for the house Of commons
and had inspired in the breasts of the
people a devotion to liberty and DEM
Ocracy never to be stamped out by
royal oppression. Every king is ruled
by the laws" declared Simon de Mont
fort, and he held that the generality"
should have hand in the making Of
the laws by which they, as well as
the monarch, were to be governed.
Simon de Montfort's immortal place
In history Is indicated by the rever-
ent title historians have given him

Per Capita Greatly
Increased in u. S.

It is significant that in the war
period the money in circulation
in the United States has in
creased from $35 per capita to
$54.56. The explanation for this
remarkable change in less than
five years is found in the fact
that the United States received
a billion dollars gold from Eu-
rope, while Federal Reserve
notes against Liberty Bonds have
been issued to the amount of
more than another billion dol
lars; and during this period the
bank deposits have been in
creased more than three billion
dollars by loans against Liberty
Bonds.
In view of these facts it is GER
tain that there can be no reduc-
ton of wages in the near future
and most certainly not until the
cost of living has subsided to
such point that reduced pay
ments for labor will give the
workmen as many of the neces-
sites and comforts of life as he
is receiving now for a larger
money wage.

Deputy Game Warden
TraiIed By a Bear

Holbrook, Ariz., July 8. W.
H. Larson, ranger deputy game
warden for Navajo and Apache
counties, was in town from his
station at Lakeside today and
tells an exciting bear story that
will be hard to duplicate.
Mr.. Larson's duties called him
over on White river about fif-
teen miles above the new town
of Cooley short time ago to
make some Investigations of al
legged infractions of the game
laws. He was accompanied by
a friend and before returning
home they decided to try their
luck at catching mountain trout.
Early in the morning they threw
their hooks into the stream near
the camp but as the fish were
not biting fast enough to suit
the deputy game warden he de-
cided to move up the river about
a half mile, going across the
country thru the thick timber.
He was soon followed by his
partner who did not go far until
he discovered to his great aston
ishment that Mr.. Bruin had
already taken the trail ahead of
him. The evidence was con-
elusive and the tracks Of the
bear appeared extra large. In
the hurry to see which could
make the best catch of fish the
gun had been left at camp but
undaunted this hero rushed for
ward with his fishing tackle to
rescue the deputy game warden
from what might be the biggest
grizzly bear in the mountains.
Clutching his fishing tackle he
proceeded cautiously along the
trail, over ridges, thru ravines
and thick timber. The trail
seemed extra, long and lonesome
and the fresh bear tracks soon
appeared even bigger and more
plentiful; and, worse still, they
were now found to be both going
and coming. There are times
when even the hearts of the
most brave fail them which
might have been the result in
this near tragedy had not the
deputy warden appeared on the
scene. Mr.. Bruin evidently re-
tired after satisfying himself
that his unlimited guests on his
preserves were harmless.
This is not a fish story and car
be authenticated by an inspec'
tion of the ground.

State May Get Herd
Of American Buffalo

Arizona may come into the
ownership of herd of Ameri-
can buffalo, or bison, if the plans
being worked out by the state
game warden, Joe V. Prochas-
ka, come to completion. He is
negotiating with the officials of
the Wichita game preserve in
the Wichita mountains in the
western part of Oklahoma, to
exchange young antelope for
buffalo.
The Wichita preserve has Ions
had one of the most famous
herds Of bison extant, and the
officials are desirous of securing
the antelope which the game
warden is arranging to have
trapped to make the exchange.
The buffalo herd, starting with
about ten head, if secured, will
be placed in the Tonto country,
where they can be we'll cared
for. Il believe that everything
possible should be done to pre-
serve to posterity this greatest
of American game animals, =
said Prochaska, and we in Ari-
zona should do our share to help
perpetuate them. The Phoenix

rights of anybody and that as

Holbrook pulled off the first
Fourth of July celebration last
Friday and Saturday since the
DAYS when Frank j. Watron led
the procession. In those days
the program usually consisted
of a barbecue, horse races, fire.
works and drunkenness. In con-
trast with those early scenes the
town has now become very safe
and sane and this celebration
was conducted with less noise
and buster. Friday morning
the people met at the grand
stand on the ball grounds where
/ the Declaration of Independence
was read by lady; the orators
of the day then proceeded to
make gas attacks on the assem-
bled multitude and the forenoon
program ended with a balloon
ascension and a feed at the bar
becue stand.
In the afternoon prizefight
was staged on the grounds and
those wanting to witness the
bout between a pale-face and
coon got the chance to look or
7 for three rounds for the price o1
a dollar, when the contestants
concluded fighting was a poor
business. The rest of the day
was taken up by a ball game
between Holbrook and Snow
flake, the latter making
/ the most runs around h
diamond.

Fl. APACHE BALL TEAM
AFRAID TO GET BEAT

Ft. Apache and Snowflake played
at Holbrook on July 5 resulted
in the biggest baseball squabble
pulled off in this section of the
country for many days. It all
happened when at the end of
the ninth inning the two teams
were tied with the score stand
ing 8 to s, and the Snowflake
team came to bat for their half
of the tenth inning. Cleon Will
lis, who was the first batter in
this inning, hit the ball to the
in-field and beat it to first base
at a 10-second clip, the ball and
base-runner getting there almost
simultaneously. DR.. Dennis, one
of the umpires of the game,
called it safe" The soldier
team, realizing that they were
about to get beat, thought it
was a good time to quit and save
themselves from defeat. How
ever, it is very doubtful whether
or not they would have taken
that course but for one promi-
nent committeeman of the Hol-
brook Fourth of July Commit
tee, who walked out to the field
and deliberately and without
permission and authority from
the umpires, or anyone else.
talked to the shortstop of the
Ft. Apache team, who was also
the captain of the team, and ad-
vised him to refuse to play the
game out. This-was very poor
and unfair advice, because about
two thousand baseball fans and
spectators were clamoring for
the game to be finished. How
ever, you can't hardly blame
this committeeman for trying to
get the soldier boys to quit the
game, as it is alleged from sew
eral good sources that he had
about 500 up on the game in
favor of Ft. Apache coming out
at the long end of the score.
These unfair tactics on the part
of this committeeman it might
be said was almost altogether to
blame for the game not being
finished and for the squabble
that ensued. 1t is also under
stood that this same committee
man even went so far as to nm
dertake to award the game and
prize money to the Ft. Apache
team, purely on the strength
of his advice that they better
refuse to play the game out.
Everybody who understands any
thing about baseball knows that
no committeeman, manager, pro-
moter, or anyone else, except
the umpire or umpires, has any
right or jurisdiction according to
the Rules of the Game to render
a decision as to who wins or
loses a ball game. 1t is appar-
ent, therefore, that since the
Ft. Apache team had the field,
while Snowflake was at bat, and
that they (Ft. Apache) refused
to play the game out, they are
the ones who violated the rules
of the game and consequently
forfeited the game. No other
decision appears to be in order.
Still this same committeeman
tried, and fairly succeeded, to
carry the idea that the Snowflake
team was the one to refuse to
finish the game, for no other
reason than they decided to stick
to Umpire Dennis decision on
first base and were willing to
continue the game from that
point and finish twin if they
could but finish the game. 1t
was the principle involved and
not the prize money that was
at stake.
Such unfair tactics in baseball
on the part of any individual or
set of individuals will do a great
deal of harm to the game and to
tbo YOt1hlic mhO nav their mOnoV
