ment act is a United States statute. That is my answer. Strict enforce ment is my policy-obedience to the law. It will be carried out without fear or favor.
 "Even were prohibition still an open question, it must be remembered that here in Arizona public opinion has twice decisively spoken" he declared. "When the issue was for the second time submitted to the people in 1916, it carried by majority of 11,094. In Santa Cruz, the only county where it was defeated, it lost by one vote.
 'I am we'll aware that efficient en- forcement includes not only the ap- prehension of the hip-pocket bootleg leger; the bringing to justice of those engaged in the traffic on large scale, but it includes as well the fact that prohibition agents must themselves keep within the law. No deviation from the strict line of their lawful authority will be tolerated. Should any such dereliction occur during my term of office, l will thank any citizen and for that matter, any bootlegger, to bring it to my attention.
 "All federal prohibition enforcement agents are obliged to carry commis- sions with them in their work. In addition to the commission declaration there are photographs on them. l would suggest to citizens, generally, who may be stopped or interrogated, especially at night, on the question of the Volstead Act, that they ask the question direct if the officer is fed eral officer. If the answer is in the affirmative, the officers authority should be asked for and the commis- sion shown. In case the officer can not satisfy the citizen he is asked to make full report of the matter to the Federal Prohibition Director at Phoenix, Arizona.
 "Impersonating federal officer is a felony and it behooves every good citizen to lend his assistance in bring ing cases of this nature to the atten- ton of the proper authorities.
 q am entering upon my duties with the firm conviction that nothing less than a fearless, vigilant, determined campaign against law violation in all forms will meet with any degree of success, but, more than that, I am con- fident that stamping out of the vice can be accomplished only through the unqualified support of the law-abid- ing citizens, and I therefore urgently call upon all the citizens to lend their earnest cooperation to the perform ance of this public service"

TOO SLOW.

A negro lad had been brought into Virginia police court for the fifth time charged with stealing chickens. The magistrate determined to appeal to the boys father.
 "See here," said his honor, "this boy of yours has been in this court so many times charged with chicken stealing that I'm quite tired of seeing him here."
 q don't blame you, jedge," said the parent, "an' Ps tired of seein' him here as you is"
 "Then why don't you teach him how to act? Show him the right way and he won't be coming here."
 q has showed him de right way,' said the father, "but he jest don't seem to have no talent for learning how, jedge; he always gets caught"

CASSIDY WILL ENFORCE
 PROHIBITION LAW, SAYS

Strict enforcement of the Volstead Act, without fear or favor, will be the policy of M. E. Cassidy, of Bisbee, who assumed the work of Federal Prohibition Director for the state of Arizona, September 1. Cassidy's work will include the enforcement and per init division of the law. The new of ficial, whose appointment was an nounced last month, succeeds Will H. Webb, who has served since the Vol stead Act became law. A special agent of the department in Washing ton is in Phoenix checking over the office with Mr. Cassidy.
 Declaring firmly against the boot legger and the breaking of the law by anyone, MT. Cassidy is equally deter. mined that the agents of the depart ment shall uphold the law.
 "The questions have been asked what will be my prohibition enforce. ment policy, and what is the attitude of the administration 2" said Mr. Cass. idly. "The eighteenth amendment is 6 part of the constitution. The enforce.

GENERAL TAYLOR'S
 NEWSPAPER IDEAL

As spokesman for the press of the United States on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of Ameri- can commerce at New York, Gener- al Charles H. Taylor, editor of the Boston Globe, who died last week, in describing his ideal of modern news paper, said:
 "Where it fulfills its highest mis- sion it carries just as little sorrow or trouble among the people as possible and it endeavors to scatter rays of sunshine and inspire feelings of hope in the homes of the toiling millions to encourage them and their families in the great battle of life"

EMERSON SCHOOL NOTES

The Flagstaff public schools opened Tuesday, September with'a total en- rollment of 3S6 as compared with 3S3 on the opening day of school last year.
 All children arriving at the age of six on or before January 1, 1922, are entitled to admission into the prim- ary grade during the first month of school. Consequently, parents contem- plating having their children enter the first grade during this semester should take notice of the above announce ment and plan to have their children register at an early date as possible. The matter of making provision for retaining the eleventh grade pupils in the Emerson high school for the coming year, as per their request, was carefully considered by the school board at recent meeting. The board was very anxious to grant this re- quest, still it was deemed inadvisable to attempt to provide facilities for completing high school course under present conditions. Consequently, the pupils concerned are advised to take advantage of the courses offered by the Normal school for completing their high school education.
 The public school system of Flag staff offers work in the following de- partments: kindergarten primary, and intermediate grades, junior high school, and including the first year of the senior high school. After the com pletion of the plan of expansion as is now under consideration, the city of Flagstaff will offer as complete sys- tenn of public education as is found anywhere in the state.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
BISBEE MAN MAY BE
 APPOINTED TO FILL
 SUPREME COURT SEAT

There was natural speculation even before the death of Judge Baker as to his successor and that was intensified recently when news of his death was received. Though no word came from the office of the governor who could not have been expected to discuss the appointment in the circumstances, var ious suggestions were offered on the street and elsewhere.
 There seemed to be general men, tion of the name of K. J. Flannigan of Bisbee for the reason that he had been candidate for that office at the election last November. The name of Judge Kibbey was also frenquently heard But it is not expected that the slight est word will emanate from the inner office of the governor until after the funeral.

JERSEY" COOMBS NOW AT
 PIONEERS HOME, PRESCOTT

"Jersey" Coombs, one of the oldest of old-timers of Holbrook, went to the Pioneers Home at Prescott last week. Jersey" is said to have been one of the first people to locate in the town. He was at Fort Apache, in the United States army, for some time, after wards coming to where Holbrook is now located and making his home here most of the time since. Some of our citizens say that they believe Jersey" almost discovered Holbrook. At any rate, he was one of the first, they say. Everybody in this section of Ari- zona knows "Jersey," and they will be glad to know that he is nicely situ- ated in the home for old-timers.-- Holbrook Tribune.

NeWSpaperS'D DUTY
is Public One

Some OF the Giblin sy~mpathizers
have criticized the Daily Tribune
on account OF its accepting the
American Party advertising. In
this connection it might BIO well to
explain to the people the duty Of a
newspaper to the public.
A newspaper. in a way. IS con-
sidered tho same as a railroad, a
pipeline. or a street ar. All peo-
pie who conduct themselves pro-
perly are entitled to ride IL they
pay their fare. A newspaper that Is
so FRO that 1t is afraid to ac-
cept advertising copy from the op-
position is not worthy OF the name
OF newspaper-it is simply a per-
sonal organ and the postal auth
critics will hold 1t responsible. One
of the requirements of the post
office department when a news
paper makes application for entry
to the malls is that the newspaper
Will accept all unobjectionable ad-
vertising from the public If they
have the money to pay for It.
Mr.. Giblin has received tho same
courteous treatment in connection
with the advertising he placed In
the Tribune rs has the American
party. Tho Democratic party has
always had access to the columns
OF the Tribune during the national
campaigns. People who are afraid
to have their cause discussed in
