THE SOUTHERN PAcIFIcs NEW BUREAU.

Almost every day there comes to this news paper, and probably to every other publication in the southwest, three or four news articles" sent out by the San Francisco publicity bureau of the Southern Pacific railway. The s. F., like some other transportation systems, claims to have no funds for advertising, but seems to have plenty of money to pay bunch of press agents to keep on trying to get the newspapers to give it space for nothing. <ao
 Yesterday there came what was called the "semi-weeky news letter." and all the news it contained was that relating to change in train schedules-sort of time table boiled down. The changes went into effect yesterday and there were lot of them. Perhaps some newspapers in cities on the Southern Pacific either have or will publish the free schedule, but they would not do the same thing for a merchant.
 The railroads used to advertise, but, when the government took them over, it was stopped. In their campaign for the return of the roads with considerable government money thrown in, the rail line managers intimated that they would be- gin patronizing the newspapers again-just as soon as they were able financially to do so, but, from present indications, that will be about the time airpanes have driven the railroads out of business.
 The Southern Pacifc's expensive publicity department isn't getting anything worth men, tioning in the newspapers and it won't. About the biggest pest newspaper has to deal with is the press agent, and the fact that he may do his posting" by mail does not lessen his obnoxious ness. The sooner those spending large sums to maintain publicity bureaus realize how little they receive for the outlay the better it will be for them = and for the newspapers.-Prescott Courier.

THE UNION ABOVE GOD AND COUNTRY.

Union methods in the public printing office at Washington stirred up things to such an extent that rank partisan democrat paid high com pliment to public printer George H. Carter the republican appointee, for his straightforward stand in the matter The government by law is only supposed to recognize civil service em- ployees While this is true, the unionists have been making it so miserable for the fellow who does not pay his S5 to $25 along with what amounts to IA per cent of his regular pay to the union, that the aforesaid American can not stay out his allotted six months time to get on regular. Congressman Blanton, in his speech in which letters of complaint are filed along with the stand of the public printer, says in the Congressional Record:
 "Mr. Chairman and colleagues, it took great amount of courage for our Public Printer to write the above letter. If he had not been a man. of sterling character courage and integrity, he could not have written it. And want every em- ployee in the Government Printing Office to note that when the Public Printer said:
 "T will not permit any intimidation of the employees in this office, and the working time of the shop cannot be used for other than the bus nation that the American open shop has again been established in at least one bureau of our government.
 "And I want all of the employees of the gov ernment in the printing office to understand that if they object to the oath of the union, which puts the union above fraternity, God, and coun- try, they have the right to withdraw from the union and still hold their jobs. And want all of the government employees in the printing office to understand that if they object to paying the extra 10 per cent assessment that has been levied against their salary, dues to the union to car ry on the Typographical Unions strikes all over the United States for 44-hour week they can stop paying that tremendous drain on their sal ary, withdraw from the union, and still hold their job with the government. It is optional with them entirely. If they believe that every able-bodied man ought to work 48 hours instead of only A hours each week of 168 hours and that the demand of his union for 44-hour week is unjust, they have perfect right to quit the union and quit paying for the expense of it's un- just strikes" Page 4742, July 28, 1921.

Search and Caesar Law"

Searching for stolen flour down at Glendale the other day, officers ran across still and sev
 eral gallons of moonshine and they confscated the still and moonshine. Had the officers the right to discover something they were not searching for? This delicate point came up sev- eral hundred years ago in Flagstaff when Tom Puam was sheriff. Jim Hance was accused of having taken divers shovels from another per son. Resenting this charge, Jim paid for search warrant on his place and conducted Pulliam to the place to do the searching. During the in- vestigation Pulam discovered several hammers, monkey wrenches and screw drivers. Uncle Jim immediately protested and said he had not paid for that "sarch" warrant for them kind of things it was shovels. No shovels were found and Puliam decided that Uncle Jim's objections were well taken Probably there was no 'pree-ceedent" of this case down in the Salt River valley coun- try to cover the still case, but even if it was a still case it should be heard (For fear readers may confuse name, we wish to say it was not Captain John Hance of Grand Canyon fame, nor Judge George Hance of Camp Verde fame.)

In the death of Justice A. F. Baker of the supreme court, Arizona loses another notable man whose life will be woven largely into the history of the state. He was a man of brilliant legal attainments, broad minded and filled with every patriotic impulse. He was one of the pion- eer type who had grown up with Arizona from its infancy and who loved men for their true inward worth. AS parting tribute to the mem ory of this grand old man who ever chose the rugged, honest road through life, we can but add he was true gentleman of the old cchool who placed honor high above all else worth while on earth

Wash Vanderlip, who is writing an extended story of his visit to Russia, declares that the soviet government has gathered up enough loot in the way of jewelry and other valuables to pay off the entire debt of the country and to buy all the food needed to keep the people of that coun- try from starving. The big Lenine idea seems to be to keep what he has got and let America feed the people he has brought to starvation. Russia is the greatest living example of how not to run government.

There is not the least doubt but what there is strong feeling in the hearts of every true Am erican for the disabled soldier and warm place for the ex-soldier as well. The trouble has been that of helpless bewilderment on their part and lack of knowing how to do the good they wish to do for these men. There has been good start for betterment of conditions and there won't be any stop along that line if the people could but find out just where the trouble lay.

Capital is nothing more than accumulated savings of surplus production. Lenine and Trot- sky couldn't see any use for capital, so they set in to destroy it.

Unfortunate Yet Fortunate

The above heading may seem paradox ical, but recent incident shows that it can be true.
 One of our employees was UNFOR- TUNATE enough to have a brand new tire and tube, together with the rim, stolen from his automobile few nights ago, while the car was parked on one of our down town streets.
 However, he was FORTUNATE enough to be carrying an automobile insur- ance policy which we had written for him, which protected him against theft of either car or tires, so that this loss will be made good.
 An occurrence of this kind luckily does mt happen very frequently in Flagstaff, but it CAN happen to you and your car just as easily as it did to our employee, so we sug- gest it would be a sensible precaution to protect yourself against it. The cost is reasonable.
 We will be glad to quote rates and other details on request
