"ANTI THIS AND ANTTTHAT"

Dr. Robert H. Gault, famous criminologist andpsychologist at Northwestern University, has a rather sane view on "anti this and anti that" legislation.
 The only safe and wise legislation, says he, aims first, last and only at the protection and comfort of the whole of society.
 Laws designed primarily to make the indi- vidual better are useless and foolhardy and dan gerous experiments, Dr. Gault thinks.
 Every man. says Dr. Gault "has something within him which says, I am my own boss. No body has the right to tell me what shall do and what shall not do'
 "If you oppose that feeling which is funda- mental, immediately the man grows restless and angry and he'll break your law out of sheer cuss- edness.
 "One law broken makes other laws easier broken.
 Therefore, the fewer the laws the better and the happiest state has only the laws really neces- sary for the welfare of the public as body"
 'If prohibition of alcohol was chiefly for the betterment of the whole of society-in other words, if it aimed to protect society from the drinker and not the drinker from himself--it will be successful" Dr. Gaut predicts.
 But many laws now suggested frankly argue making the individual better" in spite of him. self.
 These are dangerous laws this noted crimin- ologist says.
The Coconino sun., 1921-02-18
THE OPTIMISTIC EDITOR

Here is a revelation made by the editor of the Albany (Ga) Herald regarding a certain characteristic of the newspaper tribe which seems to deserve general publication. Why is it that newspaper editors, particularly the "cOun- try editors" are so consistently optimistic? The Herald man explains that it is not because they are naturally different from other men, but be- cause they have got to be cheerful.
 "When no customers come to the merchant, he can sit down and take the load off his feet. When the lawyer has no clients he can go fish ing The blacksmith can work in his garden when work gets slack. Not so the country editor. There may be nothing happening in his commun- nity. Advertising may have slumped and sub- scription money may be absolutely invisible, but the paper is expected to come out on time, and it is expected to be bright and newsy, whether there is any news or not So 1t comes to pass that his calling forces the country editor to be an optimist and he dispenses sunshine and sounds the note of hope because they are nds- pensable to his very existence"
 There are pessimistic editors, to be sure But they are seldom found except in large cities, where even an editor succumbs to the metropoli- tan weakness of induging in an occasional grouch. But taking the profession as whole, it is optmstc-in print, at least-in and out of season, in good times and bad times, in personal prosperity and diversity starting perhaps from a feeling of professional duty or necessity end ing in confirmed habit of expecting better things.
 This, needless to say is fortunate thing for the reading public. Imagine national press that was always sunk in gloom! What would a nation with such press ever accomplish?
 This consistently cheerful attitude, too is the only logical one for the American press. It has been proved time and time again that anybody who insists on being pessimistic about America is fool Business duness or moral slumps or political reaction seldom last long, The Ameri- o1xyoc o,I forge ahead again. The cheerful editor regard less of his personal fortunes recognizes this fact and expresses the faith he has learned from hs- tory and experience.

The State Cattle Growers association has gone on record in favor of not hampering the operations of the big packers. We have always held the idea that these big corporations were always amply provided with attorneys to pro- tect themselves without much outside help or sympathy, and nearly, if not always, succeeded very successfully. However if the stockmen are fond of the kind of treatment they have been getting in the past, other people should worry merely over what they have to pay for beef.

The outfit of engineers recently taken to the Lees Ferry country and along the rim of the Grand Canyon by Engineer Muholland, of Los Angeles to ferret out the location for big power site, marks the beginning of big things along that line in Northern Arizona. That this vast water power has lain dormant so long is rather a mystery There is room for dozen plants of a size sufficient to cover the southwest A few years ago such problems of development were considered mere day dreams impossible of being brought into reality but different spirit has manifested itself since the war and there is nOth- ing too big in the way of development to daunt the spirit of the western empire builder.

A kindly legislator has introduced bill in the house providing game preserve" out of a part of Coconino and Yavapai counties, and turn ing it over to the state game warden to super wise. There are so many reserves, preserves and parks now in Coconino county as to almost make it necessary for the inhabitants to be wild and mighty game to stay here. No appropriation was mentioned to carry on the wild game, but a few hundred thousand dollars should be provided out of any funds not used for income tax The people of Coconino county have been trying for years to get some of the reserved country turn ed loose for general public use and we will ven ture to say that the new proposal will meet with hearty dsapproval from the people of the county.
