living were on a level with those of
America, we could then consider the
lowering of tariff bars and allowing
open and fair competition to decide
who shall enjoy the benefits of the
American market. However, the
standards of living and labor In
Europe are so much lower than they
are here in America that to ask Am
erican labor to compete with them
even in our own markets, is to sound
the death knell of American labor
and industry. The government must
either protect its domestic business
by prohibiting the indiscriminate
dumping of foreign products here,
through proper tariff regulation, or
it must allow Europe to flood our
markets with the products of it's
cheap labor and thereby strangle the
industries of America. It does not
require a Solomon to decide which
of these two courses is the right one.

SKILLED WoRKMEN.

Statistics show that in a time OF
unemployment the unskilled workman
is the first to be discharged and the
last to be employed The ability to
do some one thing better than an
other gives the worker possessing it
an advantage at all times The pre-
MUM on skill reaches farther than
this. II is an instructive and stimu-
lating discovery that the skilled man
grows better as he grows older. while
the unskilled one is likely to weaken
and deteriorate. 1t is significant. too,
that men who do not use their minds
age early and live meanly. There is
much truth in saying that it is bet
ter TO work out than to rust out, for
the busy man lives longer and more
happily The skilled worker earns
small wages when he is 20 and not a
great deal more when %. But as his
power and dexterity grow his income
and often he is at his best

30s, but he is likely to be worked out

STUDYING SPANISH.
CEIarvey's Weekly

(Harvey's Weekly
It is encouraging to know that
while the study of German has de-
clined almost to the vanishing point
in the high schools of New York
only $50 pupils taking it now, to
nearly 10000 just before the war
study of Spanish has enormously in
creased until now it leads all other
foreign tongues Nearly 10000 pupils
are studying it. while more than go =
600 are studying French There can
be no question of the great practical
advantage of substituting Spanish
for German and indeed the desira-
bHty of preferring it to all others
For while it is not perhaps quite as
numerously used as German, for
commercial and political purposes as
well as those of travel for pleasure or
other objects. it is far more import
ant. The Spanish-spe peoples
number about one third as many as
the English speaking and they par
ticularly include the growing states
with which our commercial and So
cial relations should increase more
than with any other part of the world
and i'm addition to its practical utility
IL must be remembered that Spanish
contains a wealth of the worlds

most a sealed book to American

features Of the American consti-
tuition? The constitution must be
obeyed as a whole, and the ma
tional prohibition amendment is a
part of the instrument. You can
not differentiate. What do you
think about it? What have you
got to say about it, and you and
you?" (the court pointing to
each of the applicants standing in
the long line)
All of them swore fealty to the con-
stitution, eighteenth amendment and
all This is believed TO be the first
time that any court has made this
test of applicants for citizenship, and
it is significant of the attitude of the
higher courts toward violators of the
prohibition law
Another feature Of the examination
by Judge Bledsoe is gratifying, al
though it is not different from that OF
other courts in dealing with aliens
Several were rejected because they
had used their alienship to escape
service during the war On
this point the court said:

self behind his nativity when the
country needs him can be made a

To an Unknou)n
CBy an unknown authorl


Here is a toast that l want to drink
To a fellow I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
When it's time for me to go.
I've wondered what sort of a chap
he'll be
And I've wished l could take his
hand
Just to whisper Il wish you well, old
man"
In a way he'd understand.
I'd like to give him the cheering word
That I've longed at times to hear;
I'd like to give him the warm hand
clasp
When never a friend comes near.
I've learned my knowledge by sheer
hard work
And | wish I could pass it on.
To the fellow who'll come to take my
place
Some day when I am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I've
made,
And note all the battles lost?
Will he ever guess the tears they
caused
Or the heartaches which they cost?
VIII he gaze through the failures and
fruitless toll
To the underlying plan
And catch a glimpse of the real intent
And the heart of the vanquished
man?

OPPOSED TO SUSPENSION OF
ASSESSMENT WORK.

According to Washington dis
patch, some senator or congressman
has had the temerity TO introduce a
bill further postponing the time for
doing assessment work on mining
claims for the year 1920 from July 1,
10 January / and suspending the law
requiring annual assessment work
for the year 1921 1t is hoped that
this bill win be promptly rejected
and it is also hoped that there will
be no further attempt to interfere
with the operation Of the assessment
law Although the Miner did not
oppose the passage of the resolution
last winter extending the time for
doing assessment work for 1920 from
January 1 to July l. it was not be-
cause it believed there was a real ne
cessity for it, Rather it was because
the situation seemed 10 present a
choice between extension and sus-
pension of the work for that year. and
as between the two evils the Miner
chose the lesser. 1t was believed at
the time that bona hde claim owners
had generally performed the work
and that the chief benehciaries of the

COCONINO TO SUE NAVAJO,
 BUT IT WILL BE FRIENDLY

Supervisors Fred Caring and w. H. Campbell and county attorney F. M. Gold spent Saturday in Holbrook with the board of supervisors of Navajo county discussing the official adoption of the recently surveyed boundary line between the two coun- ties.
 The boundary line in the past has been somewhat troublesome because it often was hard to tell what coun- ty was entitled to taxes in the vicinity of the boundry and also because of compli- cations arising from arrests of criminals. It is agreed by the two boards that the boundary line as now estab- lished by Frank Goodman, of Flagstaff, who made the survey at the joint expense of the two counties, is the right line, all right, but it has not been made a matter of record and cannot be with out authority of the supreme court. Therefore, it was agreed Saturday, the super visors of, this county are te bring friendly suit in the state supreme court against Navajo county and let the court make the boundry le- gal, after which iron posts will be set all along the boundry line, a mile apart, one side other Navajo coun- ty.

 A visitor to Mudville real ized this recently after wait ing four hours for an over due train. He approached the porter.

The dance last Monday night at the Pastime Theatre for the benefit of the Catho- lie Church was a huge sue cess. It was early noted that probably the crowd be Ia large one, and as time slipped by the crowd of dancers increased to a point where it taxed the capacity of the theatre to take care of them.
 The music was furnished by a "Sammie" Modriga of Winslow and Roy Cross. The dance was both a sociakand financial success.

TEE COURTS AND THEIR EQUIP
 MENT

It is predicted that an un- exampled era of litigation is opening. Suing Uncle Sam is to become not exact ly a diversion but a frequen- cy. A great many c l a i m s growing out of the war have already been put in shape, and many more are in t h e process of shaping.
 To the extent that this is true it strengthens the case for a material increase in the number of our judges and for a simplification o f some court process.
 The judiciary, for a long time, has been undermanned so to say. We haae not had judges enough. Complaints have been frequent, and Con- gress has often been prodd- ed. We have logged along with an insufficient number and with dockets choked with urgent and undecided cases.
 Now is the time for rene dying this matter. Business is working slowly and a t many disadvantages toward normalcy again, an to t h e degree that it can be assist ed by the prompt dispatch of all matters of enough inn portance and complexity to call for court decisions the assistance should be render ed.

 There has been no law on the subject but heretofore the practice in the Postoffce Department when a postmis- tress marries has been to re- quire that she secure a new appointment, execute a new bond or pass a civil service examination in competition with others seeking the of  flee.
 Mrs. Gardner termed i t an obviously unjust condi- tion," The opinion of the solicitor of the department was asked and his recom- mendation, on which t h e Postmaster General acted, was not only that there was no legal obstacle other than departmental rulings, but that the old regulations were a restriction upon marriage and therefore against pub lie policy"

SCHOOL NOTES

The basket ball games last Friday night were replete with interest and splendid playing. The curtain raiser featured the Junior High Girls and the second team of the high school. The Junior Hi Girls captured the game by a score of II to 2. Bessie Hathorn was easily the stan of the game. It seems to run in the Hathorn family to star in athletics.
 Probably the most excitt ing and the hardest fought game was between the Will Hams Hi girls and the Hol- brook Hi girls. The game resulted in a victory for the Holbrook girls to the tune of 19 to 16. This makes the third of the five games which the local team have won. The Williams girls are a fine bunch of kids, and we are always glad to have them with us.
 Holbrook Hi boys were de- feated by the boys from the Snowflake Academy, the score being 58 to 21. De- spite the fact that the score against our boys was some what large, our boys played remarkably weli. Two weeks practice sums up their train ing; with 9 little more prac- tice they will be tough op- ponents for any team.
 School will close Dec. P, and will take up again after the holidays, Tuesday Jan. 3rd. This means a vacation of eleven days duration.
 Thursday, Dec. 22nd, Gen. tral and the High school grades will render Xmas pro- grams; both will be held in the new gymnasium.
