WHEN DOUGLAS "HARMoN1zEs"

The Douglas Daily International in its issue Of Sat
nv attempts to make capital OF the fact that after
bsoee mad announced the selection of Hon Fred Suffer
as IT'S representative at the coming meeting of the Bank
mead Highway Association, for the purpose of receiving
me report OF the committee of pathtnders who visited
arizona last spring TO information and data fo
the routing OF the Bankhcd through this state Douglas
decided to join with Bisbee in its selection of represe-
tave BY this action the International procains the
joining OF hands and the heghth of harmony between the
two cities
Continuing further. the prime object this much d.
sired Harmony by Douglas merged To the surface
with wall of that through the lack Of harmony be-
tween Bsbce and Douglas during the last county
lnova election Douglas was the loser.
And 1t is the truth. Had BiSbee become candidate.
III accordance with the wishes of the Douglas aggIega
ton the county would have been skidded down to
the Mexican border exactly in accordance with the
crafty plans carefully laid bv the Douglas removal ring
But Douglas overlooked the fact that Bsbee total
~ devoid of intelligent citizens Plainly could they de-
tect the purpose of Douglas appeal for harmony il
the Douglas failed in her attempt pull thu
wool over the eyes of Bisbee Her ''hallnonlzng dld
not take
The International further sees fit to devote good
portion of the space of its harmonious editorial III pre-
dieting calamity i'll the of costs during the coming
deportation trials. and declares there will be demon
straton of what II costing this county continue Its
county seat in Tombstone.
Let us figure
During the preliminary hearings OF these same de
portaton in Douglas OF the defendants with
few exceptions reside i'll Bisbee and made daily trips
Douglas the deportation special which had TO be
between the two cities because OF lack OF accomoda
tons the Smeter City for those whose attendance
these hearings necessary. The special ran from
Bsbee every morning and returned every night The
distance from Bsbee Douglas and from Bisbee Tomb
stone is practically the same. Will it the defendant
in the coming trials nearly all of whom residents of
Bsbee. make the trip Tombstone than X
did journey daily Douglas. There few de
PENDANTS who reside Douglas and possibly this is the
ority' that the international has i'll mind when it
sets up wall with cocklke regularity intervals in
its attempt establish the idea that Cochse would
be money ahead by erecting court house. and Of
course in Douglas They advocated the removal Of the
county hospital under the same plea of ECONOMY and
word is heard about the money saving OF
moving the county hospital to Douglas Tie ntclna
tOnal might enlighcn the taxpayers just what this
Saving" has amounted to- We will await these facts
with interest.
The distance from Bsbee to Tombstone. the
Rsbee Tombstone highway. the best III the southwest,
is 25.2 miles.
Speaking of the expense in mileage for jurors. the
international again gets off the wrong foot Suppose
the trials be held in Douglas Gas the intelnatol
al suggests would be great saving. Most Of the l
crs who viii qualify in these trials viii from the
central and northern parts OF COchise county Figure the
mileage to Tombstone then to Douglas and note the
Saving" referred to by the International And
for those who will not qualify, will from
Bisbee than from Douglas.
It is not that do not believe in harmony among the
cities of Cocise county. Harmony is of the prime
the Douglas brand of harmony is in class by itself
splt the apple in the middle then they look per
feet harmony between Douglas and Bisbee. But it will
never be long they insist everything but the
for Bisbee has clearly demonstrated that it has
munity mind of its own
