he is prosecuted and punished for vio- lation of our laws. Why then not ap- ply this same strict rules to Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey. He has sought to use his great of- flee to violate federal prohibition laws. He boa stS that he will not have his state comply with the prohibition amendment. but that he will make New Jersey as wet as the ocean.
 Is not Governor Edwards then a most dangerous I. w. w? Should he not be punished for his fragrant in fraction of the law? Is he to be granted immunity from punishment just because he happens to be gov ernor? Are some of our cabinet mem bers, and prominent citizens to en- deavor to make him president of the United States, because of his willing ness to violate the law of the land Is he to be rewarded, because of his bolcness in making threats against government. or should he be con- demned in unmeasureu terms for his defiance of. law, and be made to suf- fer for his infractions? It would seem the latter course should prevail.

A SPRING ROUNDUP IN THE SUL
 DER SPRING VALLEY

The spring roundup had started and the men were deeply into work when a crowd planned to visit the Riggs Cat tie companys ranch It was about 1o:30 that morning when six cars drew away from the houses of the Riggs set tlement It was near twelve when we drew up to the place where the cow bos had stopped their wagons and ore pared their dinner consisting of black coffee fried beefsteak and these good baking powder biscuit-averagin four to five inches in diameter and the best tobe had. They also had pickles and other canned goods. Cakes and pies were brought by the visitors. We all joined the cowboys in their converse tion. laughter and songs. Then they mounted their cowponies and began to drive the herd forward to the little town of Wilcox. But before this. some excitement occurred. As my brother hit his saddle. old Danny quit the earth. For few minutes nothing but yielline and cheering were heard from the crowd Then with a touch of the jing- ling spur. old Danny hit a long gallop a cross the rolling prairie.
 After watching the branding which was carried on by seven or eight men. we started our "tin Lizzies' and sailed for home.

AT PRESCOTT HAS LOST BY )T HAVING PAVED STREETS
 Journal Miner 2-1-'20.
 BY ARTHUR DAVIS

Prescott has lost many business men by not having paved streets because an up-to- date business man coming into Prescott will imemediateiy size up the city as not being a good place to in vest in. He will conclude that the busi- ness men already located here are not progressive and would likely go else where to make his investments. There is nothing more attractive to a busi-
 ness man who wishes to invest than an

 Then we entered. the house. It was so cool and quiet and different from the blistering out-of doors. It was the long living room which We entered. The floor -and base boards were stained brown and the paper was 2 dull blue. In one end of the room was a huge concrete and stone fireplace. A settle stood on one side and q large brown reading table on the other. A comfortable Hooking couch was on one side and opposite stood a table on which was a photograph and it's num- erous records. A couple of book cases full of books. large chest, deep easy chairs before the fireplace, and rugs on the floor completed the furnishings of the room

 celebration. The chief event was bron- cho- busting. The Hintons and Me Ewens were all there ready to show their skill in this art. With them came all their hired men. Ben Cowple, the chief character in my story, was one of them. There were bronchos of every description but the largest and widest of the bunch was a jet black. No one would ride him until Ben Cowple vol unteered to do so. For a while Ben seemed to be victor, he brought blood with every rake of his spurs while at the same time with his Mexican quirt planted cruel blows on the horses s shoulders. At last the black showed what he was made of. With a mighty buck he hurled Ben to the ground, knocking him senseless- Then he raised his front feet and quickly brought them down again on the ground where Ben had been lying when one of his friends jerked him from un- der the horses hoofs. There were many more bronchos busted but no one else tackled the black.

The Benefits of An Enlistment In the
 


 The benefits 1 derived during my three-year enlistment in the United States army are many I thrived physically, mentally and financially, Physically because I developed from 1 weak, untrained hien school boy of eighteen to a strong. muscular man of twenty -one. Mentally because my constant and close companionship with Americas s best men, bred in me a tenacity of purpose and changed me from a giddy, tickle boy to a purpose full, serious man; also because I had the benefit of a good, vocational edu cation. which serves me in good stead today. Financially because dur ing my three years of service I saved month a total of five hundred and for " dollars at the rate of twelve dol lars a month: besides this I had my board, keep, and expert medical ad- vice free. Morally. I benefited. for was, at eighteen, an impressions ble youth and in the army the influence of older and more upright men had d telling effect upon me
 Besides benefiting in the ways have just outlined, I profited in other ways. My desire for travel and ad- venture was satisfied my habits be came good, in short. the kind a man likes to develop for life such as rising and retiring early. It also determined for me that which 1 had undecided be- fore, namely, what vocation or pro- fession I should follow through hfe am today an expert electrical en-. gineer-thanks to my studying in the army school.
 The army does not hold out these l advantag ges for me only Many have received the same benefits and they are being held out to each American man today Take a tip from one who knows, boys, opportunity knocks at your door but once in a life time-Join the army.

 From the English Journal, Feb, Is2O)
 Ct would be Interesting to know what the writer of the above compo- sitlon thinks about the following)
 our soldiers have recently returned to America They not only saw. new places. different scenes, and strange soils, but faced death under terrible stress, and they have matured to n degree undreamed of by ls at home They have learned wisdom through reunciation and sacrifice What sort Of friendship, what degree of deeper understanding did they find upon their return? Have we made ourselves ready mentally and emotionaIly for their return? Are we prepared to give up some of our racial and our indi- Vlouaf intolerance; are we ready to test a man not by external traits but by a test Of what he is as a living force in society? We are nation Of chaotic variety of dissimIIar tastes and standards We are prone to avoid contact with those whom we do not llke; we have made little effort 10 un- derstand strangers, to get their point or vieY. We have been provincial to a ridiculous degree

 Let us give one day next week in each class to explaining just what The Arizona Republican is trying to do through The Young Writers club of Arizona" Let us help in this effort to encourage original thinking and writ ing among the pupils of our high school and our state.
 Every pupil should make some effort in thinking on some original problem. giving expression to an original idea in a short essay. poem, brief deScrip ton. or a letter. The work should not be stereotyped or .'olo fashioned:' let there be some .atmosp phere'' or local color Long literary" themes are not wanted. We want to encourage loyalty to our high school. city and state.
