 Lead White Sox

game today when Chicago won the decid- ing contest of the three-game series with the Indians. New York sliced a game off the lead of the Brooklyn Nationals, but with the Superbas four games ahead, the Giants only hope is in taking all four remaining games to be played with the league leaders.
 In the American race, Cleveland can drop two of It's eight games to be played and the best Chicago could obtain by winning five straight would be a ;.e. Tne New York Yankees, three games behind the Indians and with only four to play, are still a mathematical possibility for first place, but would have a difficult task even in capturing second.

RooseveIt's Grave

Ransford Mix Beach, in the St Nicholas. "The cemetery is small. situated on a "a ther steep knoll. and the path that leads up from the entrance is too narrow for a carriage. At the highest part over lokins a quiet harbor of the sound, and |inclosed by a simple, high iron fencing, lies the grave of Theodore Roosevelt. There Is no pretense, no ostentation-just peace and quiet and reverence under shady trees, with grass and flowers all round.
 "A beautiful piece of granite, chaste in design and carving, marks the grave. A simple inscription tells who is buried there-not a word to tell of his great ness.
 This stone is flanked on either side by two tall evergreens, like soldiers, straight standing and fearless Then, back of these, are growing lilies of the valley, iris and wild violets- At the foot of the graGe, just inside the gates, are two smaller bushes.
 The show of greatness is not needed. Nor were there lacking signs of the affection that Is felt for him. In front of the two iron gates the ground has been worn bare from the feet Of those who have made pilgrimage to this shrine,
 There on the grave lay little bunch of violets tied around with a string-the
 , gift perhaps, from some tiny child; close
 by was simple spray of lilacs. now be- ginning to wither in the warm sun: over
 by the granite stone was a beautiful
 cluster of pure white Easter lilies; here
 some pansies, there some sweet-smellins
 bIossoms-all the tribute of loving
 thoughts, of stimulated ideals"

CREDIT FOR FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

An observer of the campaign writes:
 "The democratic candidates for president and governor seem to have discovered conspiracy oD the part of the republican paSty to destroy the federal reserve banking system.
 In this connection 1 am sure you will pardon me if recall to your recollection two matters
 "First-That the foundation of the law creal- ing the federal reserve banks is found in the re- port of the national monetary commission ap- pointed by President Taft and presented Tn 1911 unsuccessfully to a democratic congress through the medium of the Aldrich- -Vreeland banking bill (commonly known as the Aldrich bill)
 "Second-The platform adopted by the demo- cratic party convention in 1912 spoke on the sub- ject as follows:
 eve oppose the so-called Aldrich monetary hill ar the establishment of central bank, and we believe the people of this country will be largely freed from panics and consequent unem- ployment and business depression by such sys- tematic revision of our banking laws as will rend- ia needed Banks exist for the accom- modation and not for the control of business
 "Why should the democrats accuse the re- publican party of desire to throttle US own child"
 We would remind our correspondent that from the first in spite of the facts he cites, the democratic politicians have claimed credit for the federal reserve system although it was the fruit of republican initiative, republican study, and republican support.
 The attempt of the democrats to claim this child of republican statesmanship must be based on theory that the American people do not re- member the facts.

WHAT MAKES THIS EDITOR MAD

What makes an editor mad is to have candi- dates for office come to town and steer clear of the newspaper office, in the fear that if they dropped in they would be compelled to buy space. We wish to inform some of these pin-headed can didates for office that we do not care tinker's damn whether they run an announcement or not, as this newspaper will still be in business long after the voters drop them in the discard. Many of these fellows come to Chandler and sneak around the stores in order to avoid the print shop, knowing in their hearts that few lines in the paper will do them more good than all their cards, yet dreading to face the cold facts in the editors own bailiwick.-Chandler Arizonan.

US AND US

There is mighty little difference in "bolting" a ticket and "gulping' one. The greatest trouble with the American people is in permitting few little, very little pin-heads to make all the noise and sneak into power by devious methods. The same methods that were employed by the smart kid" who stole your marbles and then accused you of "robbing" him; he made more noise than you cared to make and got away with 1t. You had some sort of decency; he had none and knew he could out-brazen you in a crowd. The Sun is republican paper, but it gives you it's word that it would much rather see an honest democrat in power than dishonest republican. All we ask is for the voter to believe in the man who has tried to play the game square. Generally speak ing, the fellow who tries to play the game "square" never gets square deal from the voter, for it is so easy for the "other fellow to lie his way through. In other words as Barnum has pointed out, there's sucker born every min ute." Sometimes we are constrained to believe they're twins or triplets. The Sun has lost many dollar betting on the suckers being born in a longer time than minute, but we yet believe that
 America Still Belongs.to America,
 and will go down the line believing that we lost a good fight if the pinheads can still go on telling lem: we don't know what you want, but we're for that-until after election"

FRANKLIN AsTOUNDS DIPLOMATS

Frank Roosevelts amazing statement the oth- CT day in vain-glorious political speech, that the votes of the South American countries which he held in his vest pocket to vote in the league of nations, had been transferred to Secretary Daniels, has caused the diplomats of the South American countries to sit up and take notice. They are asking very pointedly how MT. RooseS welt came to have those votes in his vest pocket and how he knew that he could deliver them. It was a mighty cheap attempt to offset the six votes given England as against one vote for Amefica in the league. It is evident that Frank lin was with the Roosevelt attachment, is very much removed from the family of the "Roose- welt" with the Teddy attachment. The very cheapness of it all does not sound American.

ALL HONOR TO "JINIMY sWINNERTON''

Just as a free, honest, open testimonial of appreciation, not just from The Coconino Sun, but from those who know and do things in this small sector of the frontier, and for Flagstaff in particular, we desire to call attention to James Swinnerton, the cartoonist and artist of national fame, who is pleased to call Flagstaff his home Mr. Swinnerton has given his time and talent at all times for the general uplift of the city and surrounding country He has brought this great country of scenic wonders to the attention of men and women famed as writers and artists, inducing many of them to come here for their first visit and who have afterwards become en- thusiastic boosters for Flagstaff and the coul- try sourrounding it. Of course we all love Jimmy" and are proud of his splendid achieve ments but there are very few who fully realize the credit due him for his constant good work through his hundreds of friends who have at tained world fame, in bringing them to see and enjoy the things he has found here.

FOR OUR OLD HOME TOWN

Prescott is democratic town so should not show any vindictive spihit at the government census because it gave them decrease in popu- lation during the past ten years and net pop. of 1880, a decrease of TIP. They used to call it Frank Murphys town" Wonder if they realize he is dead? Flagstaff has not as yet been called upon the carpet but in the last census it was nominated as being something like 1882. It should show 100eo without the recent addition of Milton after the census was taken, which would bring it up right along with Prescott, the former state capitol. Just as a matter of fact, it does seem as though the few who discovered Flag staff, made their homes here, loved the place, were jealous of newcomers and wanted the joy of it all for themselves. It has been a fact for a number of years, so why cant we just commence inviting our friends in and start the things that will show them that we Hove our old home town"

A boost or knock? A lady writing to the Chicago Tribune says she 'has not missed the Tribune for 60 years" We'll Mack, there are a lot of people who wouldn't miss the Trib in a hundred years. The Trib is still playing the old personal game of delivering the goods to the with one column of the paper dsputing the oth- er thus hoping to crawl under the tent when the readers are quarreling over the price of admis- sion. A paper that openly boasts of it's home city being 'the rottenest in the world" probably has right to choose its own home.

DON'T CHEER. BOYS

John F. Crosby, acting director of the depart ment of justice campaign to lower the cost of living announces that sugar dealers caught in the recent price slump with large stocks on hand are appealing to the department to save them from loss. He adds that the department has no rem edy for the situation.
 Read it, and weep.
 It might almost indicate that the speculator in essentials of life is not immune from the ills which he imposes upon others. It might almost indicate that the proiteer is not sacred person. age It-might almost indicate that after all the lawofsupply and demand really mean something. It might almost justfy vague hope that if we refrain from cheers while "the poor devils are dy- ing" we may some day, without breach of eth ics, offer silent prayer of thanksgiving that they are dead.-Chicago Tribune.

CAN'T KEEP FEM DOWN

Judge Richard H. Hanna, of Albuquerque, was given the democratic nomination for governor of New Mexico, unanimously and rendered most enthusiastic reception by his home folks at Albu- querque on returning from the convention. There are number of old-time friends here who will remember him as just plain Harry Hanna of Pine Lodge while he was ranger in the forest service here With the evident discontent among republicans over in New Mexico and the enthus- iastic unanimity of the democrats behind Judge Hanna, it may yet be that the old forest service will graduate a governor

ALL FOR ONE-OR, ONE FOR ALL?

Senator Harding says: "There can be no per manent good fortune if the rewards of toll are be- slowed upon particular groups. There can be no assurance of stability if one great group in Amer ican life preys upon another. Our thought is to work out such just laws and see to their proper enforcement that government will not be in1u- enced by any element in American life made in- fuential through it's physical might, or strength of possession, but that representative govern ment shall ever be righteous and just and give of its concern to the good fortune of all the Ameri- can neOnle."

YAQUI INDIANS
 SOUND WAR DRUMS

Mexico City, June 24.---Once again the monotonous but ominous tom tom tom' of the Yaqui Indians is be- ing heard outside the confines of Son ora
 General .P1utarco Elias Gales, pro visional secretary of war and marine for the new revolution, is taking with him more than thousand of Son ora's finest" on his 1,6O0-miIe trip from Agua Preta to Mexico City to assume the duties of his new office.
 The strumming of the Yaqui drums long has been a cause of uneaSineSs among many of Mexico's other sol diers. Bearing the reputation of be- ing a fearless and ferocious fighter, the Yaqui has frequently been said to be able to put his enemy to flight by the mere sound of his burro skin 'tambor."
 There is another and less sinister side, however, to the life of a Yaqui soldier. He carries his home life with him to the battlefield. His wife, his children. his birds all form part of his impedim
 When not in action, the Yaqui war riors do not present formidable fig ures. They may be distinguished from other tribes chiefly by their peculiar copper hue and the band of bright red they wear around their hats The routine of their camp life is quiet and orderly.
 The Yaqui lad is reared in an at mosphere of war. Should his fa.th CT fall in battle, the boy picks up the ancestral rifle and begins the realiza- ton of his martial destiny.

HARVEST SEASON
 IS AT HAND IN
 WESTERN STATES

Oklahoma City, Okla. June 4.--- The song of the mower and the header is being heard throughout the Southwest and under the hot June sun the army of harvesters are gath ering the 1920 grain crops.
 Like a great wave, the workers that have come from all parts of the coun- try to garner Oklahoma's grain will sweep northward as the fields turn golden and are ready for the sickle Cutting already is in progress in the southern fringe of Kansas and the season will be in full spring in that state in few days, according to fed- eral and state agricultural authori ties.
 Oklahoma wheat went into the har- vest with a condition estimated by the state and federal cooperative crop reporting service at 85 per cent of normal. It was expected at that time that s5,0oo,ooo bushels of grain would be harvested, as compared to an estimate of 27,000,000 bushels a month previous.
 part of the 1920 grain crops in the state confronts the farmer this year, owing to an acute car shortage. A statewide campaign has been con- ducted to interest bankers and busi- ness men in financing the farmers to enable them to construct adequate storage facilities. Twenty-Five thous- and new elevators are needed to hold the new crop, according to John A Whitehurst, president of. the state board of agriculture, and 5000, ,0eo bushels of the 1919 crop still remain to be moved.

ARMY TRUCKS IN
 MAIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK CITY

A fleet of sixty ex-service trucks, recently mustered into civilian use, have taken up peace time work at the New York City post office, carry ing mail and making parcel post de- liveries. This fleet is part of the 2,000 trucks declared surplus by the government. The remaining trucks are being distributed to the various states to be used in improving the nations roads and highways.
 An inscription on the New York City post office building, which reads Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" connects the work of the trucks with an interesting bit of history dating back to the reign
 of Darius in Persia, 500 B. c. This inscription is taken from the history of Persia as written by the historian, Herodotus, who in describing the civilization in Persia at that time stated that there were roads and re- lay stations throughout the Empire
 for the purpose of intercommunica- ton. Is it possible that Herodotus had an inkling of the important part transportation of mail and other com modities. Whether he did or not, the fact remains that the motor truck is constantly proving it's versatility and adaptability to all forms of transportation under varying condi- l tions.

PUT ON
 CLOTHING MARKET

Chicago, June 24.---Half a. billion pounds of shoddy were thrown on the American clothing market in 1919, while a billion pounds of unma nufac- tured, virgin wool were accommodating in the storehouses. Shoddy is made of woo1en rags, re-spun perhaps as often as eight times. It is woven with a small percentage of virgin wool to stick the broken flores together. Of the 620,00O, GOO yards of ''aIl wooP cloth produced by the nations mills, the amount of Shoddy used would have produced 3SO 000, 600 yards, if straight shoddy cloth had been turned out. Mixed with a little new wool, it entered into the composition of a vastly greater yardags. In the same period, the amount of new wool used would have produced 240. GOO GOO yards of virgin wool cloth, if it had not been adulterated with shoddy.
 These statistics were made public today by the National Sheep and Wool Bureau of America, No. % South La Salle street, which is organ
 izing the sheep, farm and business in terests of the country behind the
 F'rench-Capper Truth in Fabric bill. This bill was left in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Committees of both houses of Congress at adjourn
 ment. It is designed to compel man. ufacturers to stamp their cloth with l the percentages of virgin wool and of shoddy it contains.

CEMENT LAWNS LATEST THING
 IN CALIFORNIA

Los Angeles, Cal. June 24---A lawn that is not a lawn, but looks like a lawn and is said by it's owne, to be better than Iawn-a water less, mowerless, weedless, gopherlea lawn-in short, a cement lawn painted grass-green, has made it's ap- pearance in front of a Los Angeles bungalow.
 Mrs. A. c. Woodward, inventor and owner, says it saves time, money and worry. Sh. never has to water it; she never has to cut it; it is always dry enough to sit on-and it needs paint ing only once a year.
 She has circular holes cut through the lawn and in them and along the edges she has flowers planted.
 "f invented the cement lawn" she said, because; of trouble I had in getting a man to take care of my old grass lawn. It cost only s65
 You don't know what a bIessing 1t is,", she continued. Do you know. I believe there would be much less unhappiness in married life if the hus- band would use a cement instead of a grass lawn and so avoid having to come home after work and run an old 1awn-mower over the front yard every night" :"
