 Editorial
 It is a noticeable feature in the pres ent campaign that the Republican camp is not filled with office seekers. The truth is, the best men, those whom the people want and who will serve the people best are not usually found making strenuous efforts to force their claims upon the people previous to their nomination. The Republican county convention meets on Sept. II. and the result of it's action so far as individual nominations are concerned is just as uncertain as if it were two years hence.
 An effort has been threatened and will be made by candidates on the Democratic ticket to influence nom nations in the Republican convention with view to weakening the ticket.

 True Happiness
 Out in the summer sunshine
 Under the deep blue sky; Out where the buttercups grow.
 Out where the daisies lie; There meath the waving trees
 The children from their play Hear the droning Of the bees
 As they homeward trace their way. Out on the rolling hillside
 Where the grass is green and soft Out where the lamkins frolick,
 Out where the birds soar aloft: There the wanderer weary
 In speeches. wonder pauses; He heres the bird note cheery.
 Which within him gladness causes Out on the sandy seashore.
 Where the waves roll in and out, Out where the cliffs are rocky. Out where the buoys dance about; There to where the crisp set brezes
 Blow the shifting sands about, May the heartsick and weary
 See nature as i've diskribed it. post skript i'm going to be a poet when i growcup papa spels me words when hes not busy.

RAILROAD TO THE GULF

In a speech before the warren
District Luncheon Club last
week, Colonel John G. Greenway
said very few people in Southern
Arizona seemed to realize the
Importance of the proposed rail-
road from Ajo to the Gulf of
California, which he asserted
would be a reality before long.
1t will not be as big an undertake
ing as one might at first think,
not more than 100 miles in length,
and at Ajo it will connect with
the rail line from Gila Bend, CIV
ing a direct outlet to tidewater.
1t is believed the completion of
the railroad from Ajo south will
enable the copper producers of
Arizona to ship their output to
the gulf by rail, thence by sea
through the Panama canal to
New York for delivery to the re-
fineries. 1t probably would save
freight, and there certainly
would be no additional charge
for loading the bullion onto ships,
as most of the copper sent out of
the State is sent by sea from
Galveston to New York. Were
the Ajo-to-the- gulf road to be-
come the shipping outlet for
Altoona copper, its success would
be assured from the very outset,
and it also might be the means
of saving money to the copper
companies as well.
Were the undertaking not a
very promising one, it is unlikely
Colonel Greenway would be in
terested init at all, for he is not
the Kind of a man who permits
fancies to warp his judgment.
His interest in the enterprise al
so is assurance of its success, for
he has no failures chalked up
against him. douglas Dispatch.

A GOOD PROPOSITION

Another good proposition that
the people of the Gila valley
should take up and push to COM
pletion is a good road to Camp In
ception. Graham mountains.
The Graham mountains afford
splendid sites for summer resorts
and Camp Inception is particular
ly desirable and could be made
very popular.
There is plenty of room for cot
tages, besides a large building
that could be used as a hotel dur
ing at least eight months in the
year.
The business man, who cannot
get away to the coast during the
hot summer months, would find
camp Inception an ideal spot to
spend the weekend and rest up.
A cottage during the summer
months for the wife and children,
would be much better from a
health standpoint than going to
California beach resorts.
The climatic conditions in the
Graham mountains are superior
to any California resort and
would cost the family less than
half of what they are paying to
broil in the hot sun of California.
To secure a most delightful
summer resort at Camp Incep-
ton. all that is needed is a large
building with big living room and
rooms for sleeping purposes and
a good dining room. The large
building surrounded by cottages,
would make the camp a resort far
superior to any we know of on the
coast.
A good automobile road can be
built to camp Inception for less
money than is now paid by people
from this valley who go to Cal
ifornia.
A movement IS on foot to or
ganize a company to build this
road to camp Inception and if
there were no other return than
a delightful place for mothers
and children to spend the hot
summer months. with all the
great benefits of climate and good
water, it would be well worth the
investment.

obey the mandate of those who
selected them as delegates,
should not have become dele
gates. When they accepted the
trust, fair-dealing, honor and
righteousness demanded its full
fillment by them. When they
were false to their plighted words,
when they broke their faith,
when they betrayed their people,
they were as traitorous, as dis
honest, as disreputable, as inde-
cent as Benedict Arnold. Their
treacherous stab was not at a can
didate, but at a people, and at the
very fundamental principle gov
erning republican institutions.
Some of them were bought with
coin; some were bought with
promises, others were exercising
a malice carefully concealed DUR
ing their candidacy, but contem-
plated from the very instant of
their promise of obedience to the
will of the people and consummat-
ed when by their lying protesta-
tions they were successful in be-
coming delegates. These men
will ever be in their remaining
years Stunned and abhorred by
all honest people; the finger of
scorn will ever be pointed at
them; and they will walk in their
communities marked as faithless
and dishonest, breakers of obli-
cations, traitors to their fellow
men. Such men must not be per-
mitted, because of their crime, to
affect or destroy the rights of all
the rest of the people. Their
treachery must make us more
firmly resolved that our people
shall be protected IN the future,
that their right to choose those,
whom they desire shall not be
abridged or destroyed by its be-
trayal. Senator Hiram w. john
son in August Sunset.

Best Man for Job.

The time has come when the best man
for the job is the fellow who will hold it.
The best man is not, necessarily, the man
who can turn out most work or who
makes the most noise about it. Instead,
it is the man who always turns out good
work and puts in an honest days labor
every day he is on the job During those
days of the war when help was scarce
and the manufacturers and others had to
take such help as they could get, there
were many men employed who were
slovenly about their work, who did not
attempt to do a thorough job and who
Dragged about how little work they could
do in day and get away with it.
To be sure this class of men was not in
the majority, but they were to be found
In about every Industrial plant and in
about every city, Now that the rush is
over and most of the plants ale cutting
down the number of employees, there is
wedding out process going on. The
employers know who have been giving
them honest work and who have been
loafing on the Job. In this general weed
ing out of labor it will not be the former
who is let 60. Instead, he will stay as
long as there is work for him to do, and
in many cases his boss will look around
carefully to find something to keep him
going until business picks up again. The
man who has been loafing on the job and
careless of his work, will be the first to
get through
A great many men have lost all con-
ception of what it means to render an
adequate service in return for the wages
they are paid. Under present conditions,
with prices gradually going down to a
pre- war level in many lines, the manu-
facturer finds it essential that each en-
ployee should render full days service
for the pay he gets if the plant is to be
continued successfully Bath Times
