THE SUN SHINES WITH FLAGSTAFF

The Sun can not help being pleased with the many compliments bestowed upon it and the generally adeepted statement that it is the best weekly papef in the Southwest"
 That was the intention, aim and hope; but at the same time we wish to give the live merchants of Flagstaff their full need of credit for their good support and confidence. The Sun only re- fleets the enterprise and good ability of the peo- pie, and especially the business men of the city. The many prosperous businesses which have been built up within the past few years we be- lieve were materially helped by The Sun; but the chief merit is due the men who have dem onstrated their ability and confidence in the eventual growth and success of Flagstaff.
 There was none of the mushroom variety about the growth of the business men of Flag staff, nor the city of Flagstaff. The builders know they are building on solid foundation. There is no 'boom"-it is just coming alive of people who are commencing to realize the advan- tages offered.
 While some folks might have made a great big scream" and pulled headlines foot long over handing out twenty pages in one edition, the gang around The Sun office merely felt it was Fall in the days work"

WHERE IS MY WANDERING LETTER TO-
 NIGHT?


 Thousands of people complain of the postal service, or rather lack of service We just men, tion thousands" to be conservative. A great many people wonder why, for it has always been understood that the proper handling>o of the mails was one of the most important duties of the gov ernment. Even in the face of the present splen- did exemplification of the masterly methods of mail inefficiency, some few insist on govern ment ownership" of other public utilities Here is a short, concise volume as to why not:
 Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 8, 1919. "Honored Sir:
 $4OO per month, how in Gods name can a postal clerk exist on $1,000 to $1 800 per year and keep his family? Please do something for us and the service NOW. Fraternally,
 "L. R. FITCH, Sec'y N. F. P. E."
 The only wonder to the average individual is that there is any mail service, and that em- ployees can be secured for such pay.
 It seems that the government can pay when lover barrep' and there is enough political in fuence to make the "bureaucrats" come through. a better salary than a postmaster and work less hours, and you can get more money herding sheep than you can herding letters, the great wonder is that postoffices can be maintained at all. Yet the people are most vitally interested in getting their mail promptly-for mail makes the world go round
 It was claimed that some railroad president once said, "The public be damned" and pretty soon they did be, if they would stand for it any longer The P. o. department has practically in- timated the same thing and pretty soon the people are going to rise up and insist that they don't need to be even "darned."

WILSON-THAT'S ALL

A friend suggests "A good thought for an editorial: Wilson is making campaign for the League of Nations, saying It will keep us out of war; and refer to the campaign he made for his election the last time on, He kept us out of war;"
 The real facts are that great mass of peo- pie in the United States still honestly believe that Wilson "kept us out of war;" and many of them will not find out that there was war until after the next election. Many thousands never heard of the war until they had to>pay income and luxury taxes and then good many of therl thought these taxes were imposed to pay the expenses of President Wilson and his party of some 1,500 servants on their .jaunt to Paris to fix up League of Nations so that Wilson could umpire the world and make it safe for Dem- ocratS
 Wilson has been so inconsistent that even his warmest admirers and press agents have brain flag and are leg weary trying to keep pace with his WilsonianismS. He was too proud to fight" when the Huns sunk the Lusitania; he was against preparedness and "kept us out of war; until we had actually sent soldiers to fight; he was "commander-in-c of the greatest army the world ever saw," and came home with world peace" and Hong felt the confinement of Wash ington" few days after his return from a six months jaunt in Paris he "kept Congress on the job" while he toured the West, "bringing his message to the people," but failed to take Con- greSS Into ms commence as CO WnaC ne naQ been doing in Europe, thought they were expected to "sign on the dotted line, without dotting an f or crossing t." He ordered a hundred million dollars sent him to help starving Europe. It was sent over and children were starving in New York. Up to date no accounting has been made of the amount-except that it was spent.
 In recent speech made at Des Moines he said the cause for which he was fighting lis greater than the senate; it is greater than the government" If Harry Wheeler down in Bis bee caught an ordinary citizen making such statements as that he would have had them lined up with his famous band of I. w. w. de- portees
 When there is a claim that anything on this mundane sphere is greater than the great Amer ican government, it grates on the average mans nerves and he has to be shown.
 The war contractors may go on throughout their little lives "thanldng God for Wilson, and his little Baker, but the people will have diff ferent view when this great spasm of unrest is over.
 He started and he stopped clocks for brief respite; he played sunshine against moon shine" but among all the people who think twice while they talk once, he is by, for, and be- cause of
 Wilson-that's all

It is reported that Governor Campbell will call an extra session of the legislature as soon as the State Fair and the Northern Arizona Fair at Prescott are out of the way. The general impression among the people is that they need an extra session of the legislature just as bad as they need another epidemic of the fu''-and sincerely hope for neither. However, like the big national game, "when politicians play the people must pay" Limeght costs money.

WHAT NEXT?

When the president went to France he as- sured Congress that he would be in constant touch with them and keep them advised of all that he knew concerning the peace negotiations. He kept everything possible from Congress and later in cable message said that he was so out of touch with American domestic affairs that he could not give suggestions relative to reconstruc- tion legislation. Wonder what new and contra dictory statement he will find to make next.

For that reason 1t should be a
part OF the Dixie Highway and not OF
the Roosevelt Trail. The Dixie high
ways northern end is now at the 500.
II consistent building program is
carried on along the projected line
frtm the 500 to Fort wilkins It is
probable that the most OF the route
will be travelable before the south
ern end OF the Dixie highway-the
part through the mountains and across
the Georgia sands are completed
This being the case the Dixie high
way should be extended along the
south shore OF Lake Superior to Fort
wilkins. Such a highway with its
pictured rocks and its beautiful ma
ture scenes could not be excelled
anywhere in the United States, and
with adequate advertising. the tour
lists could be headed north from
Florida in the summer in as large
numbers as they head south in the
winter.
The other highway whether you
call It the Roosevelt or any other way
should follow the originally estab-
liyled route for the Roosevelt high
way through Escanaba, Iron Noun
tain, Iron county and Gogebic. This
arrangement with the cross roads: /
from Blaney to Germfask; one from
Rapid River to Trenary; one from
Esoanaba TO Ishpeming; one from
Iron Mountain to Humbolt; one from
Crystal Falls to Nestoria and another
from Watersmeet to Bruce's crossing
would give Cloverland an admirable
system OF roads, one that would be
unexcelled anywhere.
OF course, Iron county has the
roads whether the Roosevelt highway
comes this way or not but 1t would
lock much better on the part OF the
boosters for the peninsula IL thi.

so much advertising is expected-was
