The Coming ower
"MAIN STREET"

MAIN STREET,
When Mrs. DR.. Kennicott went out to
Gopher Prairie,
She found the town a dull, malicious
bore,
Where no one had thought beyond
the wheat f>rm and the dairy,
The movies and the fiivver and the
store.
When Henry Adams got what he de-
clared was Education,
He gazed upon the world without a
smile;
The Culture and tho Politics Of this
amusing nation
He found unworthy anybody's while.
Though Henry found the Universe a
very Gopher Prairie,
(The latter being commonplace and
trite),
And Carol found American existence
ordinary,

they were right.
Regarding the parodies in Mr..
Charles Powcll's "The Poets in the
Nursery" Miss Carolyn Wells, than
whose ear none is more sensitive to
style, agrees with US; but she con-
siders the parody of Walt Whitman
better than any other she knows Of.
She is making collection of Whitman
parodies, and if any one knows Of a
better one she wishes to know it,
To J. A. NJ: On "On Main Street"

Our Little Jobs

Some jobs are worse than
writing verse, and some are
more enchanting; I'd'rather play
a harp all day than be a states
man ranting. For Office high
some men will fry, in beastly
summer weather; and thresh old
themes and hotpoint dreams,
where reubens get together. l
wouldn't speak six times a week
to be a blooming seraph; I'd
rather sing than be king, or
coroner, or sheriff. Let others
rise, meath burning skies, Our
sacred bulwarks guarding; I've
no desire to soak my Tyre, to be
a Warren Harding. The states
men scrap and fuss and zap, and
Gilbert jumps on Billy, while in
the shade l drink limeade, and
knock the tirnbrel silly. My
record sleeps and no one weeps
DER crimes l have committed;
the country grins when states
mems sins are to news columns
fitted. Some jobs are slick and
span and spick, compared with
writing sonnets, but oh, the woe
that statesmen know when bees
are in their bonnets! I do not
sigh for Office high, 1 wish no
White House laurel; I'd rather
write my rhyme tonight, and
spring an ancient moral.

 CAPITAL
'By Associated Press.)

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug B. Ccrtiiication of Tennessee's ratifica- ton of the iederal-suffrage amend4 ment, was enroute by mail tonight to Washington
 On its receipt there by Secretary of State Colby, suffrage leaders eX- pect, issuance will follow of the final proclamation making the amendment a part Of the orgamc law of the land and placing 2 million women on an equality with men at the ballot box
 Governor Roberts placed the certi- fication in the mail today after he had received from State Attorney General Thompson an opinion that the writ of certiorari and SuperSedeaS issued last night by the chief justice of the Tennessee supreme court in effect set aside the order restraining him tenn pOrarily from taking such action. The injunction was obtained Saturday by citizens of Nashville, opposed to sui frage on the plea that the action on the amendment by the present state legislature was unconstitutional. The action may transfer to Washington the battle over the legality of the ratification, and an application may be made in the District of Columbia supreme court for an order to restrain Secretary Colby from issuing the proclamation.

Rain Helps Road; Washouts Scarce
 During Summer

Every rain this summer has helped more. than it has hurt the roads of Navapai, according to q statement by County Engineer E. Johnson. There has never been q summer so free from complaints of washouts and dis turbed road conditions, he says.
 There has been no long sustained rain anywhere, although some sharp showers have visited most of the county. The result is that good deal of dust has been settled, but no great damage was done to cul- yertS and fills.
 The program of county road work at this time is being carried out with the expectation that certain pieces of necessary work are to be left to the highway commission. For in stance. in improving the road to Sim mons, the county gangs confined themselves to the part beyond the power house and left the stretch be tween that point. and the city to the later attention of the commission which will build to Iron Springs and Skull Valley on its way to Wickcn- burg.
 The Journal Miner is receiving con, siderable favorable comment for 1tS work in behalf oi the Walker dis trict. where the county began moving q road camp yesterday in order tC fix one of the most neglected pieces of road in the county.
