in handling the weather.
 We have not yet succeeded in get ting our cloud-bursts and thunder storms under proper control and we admit--confdentially and with a measure of shame-that we distribut- ed some of them rather injudiciously during the past moist season. We had so many of them darn things to herd that we couldn't keep them from mill ing around a little. We accept full responsibility for most all those cloud bursts, and we now acknowledge that we alone were to blame for one in wit-or perhaps too wet-the one that ripped up things along the Oraibi Wash and caused a fright smart" bunch of lizzie lizards to witness the snake dance by the ab- sent treatment. But this was an un- avoidable slip on our part and we promise to be more careful in timing our cloud-bursts and thunder-sto in the future.
 It is consistently our policy to de- cline to advise tourists in the matteZ of routes. When we are questioned about the condition of roads we give the facts as we gather them dfily, fresh from the wheels, and the t,ur- ist. is usually intelligent enough to understand the temperament of his own fivver.
 If, in order to save mileage, tour- ist prefers to take the east road to the Grand Canyon after he has learn- ed conditions, we are not going to ap- play for an injunction to prevent him from exercising what he feels to be his privilege. We might say, too, that it is impossible to convince some o. these travellers (tourists, you know have a disagreeable habit of exchang ing experiences) that Flagstaff is moi. another Springerville and if they ar warned 300 miles east or west of us to shun Flagstaff, who is to blame?
 Tourists discuss towns and thei !. people with brutal frankness and WE overhear many things-some of therl disconcerting enough to make Us squirm. The average tourist simply wants to reach his objective by fel- lowing the line of least resistance aid he resents the use of club to fo,ce him to go south when he's got a fool notion in his noodle that he want to go north.
 The average tourist appreciates courtesy and detests buncombe. He likes to feel that you want him to stick around just for the pleasure of his company--with no ulterior mo- tives. He doesn't mind being horned in moderation, but he doesn't want any snug pretense in the game nor does he want the finger-cramp to be so palpable as to cause him to vince or even to blush with embarrassment when he feels the squeeze.

TAKES ISSUE WITH
 HILLSDALE REVIEW
Continued from Page one)


 justice to the present editor, will say that he is practically a stranger in our community and is not qualified to give true opinion of the character or standing of Harry Nash.
 It has been my pleasure to know Harry for eleven years. I have slept with him, played upon the same ball team with him, harvested and worked in the fields with him, and know him to be a good hand with a tractor, on the farm and with stock. During the early part of my administration as pastor of the church, l received him into fellowship and found him to be very attentive and respectful listen CT and regular attendant at the ser vices. This high esteem for him still hold.
 The news of Harry's arrest came to us like cyclone. No one thought it possible that the charge of murder was true. I fully believe that until the visits of your sheriff and the later visits of the "Sun" to our town that everybody extended to him love and sympathy. l still believe that the majority of the Hillsdale community believe that the verdict he received is more than he deserved.
 The saying that Public opinion hangs man more often than the evidence" was held in respect by me during this trial, for after hearing every word of the evidence, and the arguments by the attorneys, certain ly was not prepared to receive the yer dict that was rendered. Sentiment was so strong against Harry in the court room, on the streets and in the church that it was oppressive. Par don me, 1 do not mean to forget nor shall 1 ever forget, the many kind words, spoken to us in the court room, on the streets and in the church. also appreciate the stand that the "Sun" took at first when Harry made his confession, and was so minded to write and express this appreciation but failed to do SO.
 While waiting for the hearing con- corning a new trial have gone with Mr. Nash to visit many of the ex- jurors and in talking with them, find that the verdict might easily have been for a lesser sentence than that demanded by second degree murder. Not one of the jurymen that we visit ed, seemed to know that the verdict they had reached could possibly mean a life sentence. I fully believe that had they known this fact lesser yer dict would have been reached, or none would have been rendered. The fact that five of the jurymen voted mot guilty" and continued to so vote re- peatedly, and that the verdict finally arrived at was in reality "compro- missed verdict" gives us encourage ment and stimulates our faith that in case of another trial Harry would either be sent home free, or to prison without the papers reading murder"
 MY RESOLVE-I resolve, hereaf- ter, not in any way to aid in creating a sentiment that will curtail the liber- ty or endanger the life of fellow man, and to be more thoughtful of, and kind to, those in prison.
 Sincerely yours,
 S. K. MARKLEY.

HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Boy Scouts

Under the assistant leader ship of M. Lemuel Taylor, the boys of the high school and the upper grades are being organized into a troop of Boy Scouts of America. AL ready nearly four patrols have been completed and others will be formed if necessary. The movement began among the boys them selves and the school will assist them in every way pos sible. It is the greatest or ganization of boys in the world and happy should be those mothers and fathers whose boys elect Co join a Boy Scout group. Some of the girls are dis cussing a Camp Fire move ment also.
 The Pump.
 The old-time water pump that has rubbed lips with every boy and girl in our com munity for so long has at last sung it's swan song, ,and Grim Disease wears a slight frown. You might be amused to see the arrangement that has come to replace the old pump, but many of us have heaved, and are still heaying, sighs of relief that at last Y something has happened to the old lip drinks. This is what happened:
 The s. I. A. paid for a force pump. MT. s. c. Bunch con- tributed short hose. The school did the work. And then water began to bubble out of a fountain cup. That's all, except that the school board had previously bought the 15-gallon fountain.

MAJESTY,
BY LOUIS COUPERUs.
(DOdd, Mead 4 Coz

Kings and queens, dukes and
duchesses, princes and princesses,
and the like have come to be gen.
orally regarded as the exclusive
property of the romanticist. 1t is
especially interesting. therefore. to
follow Louis Couperus' realistic
study of the human side of royalty.
This novel was written in the sos
and although the prestige of royal
ty has declined somewhat since that
time, the book has lost none of its
interest and value as an analysis
OF men and women born to rule
and to live in the environment of
an imperial court. The principal
figure is Prince Othomar. an intro
spective neurotic youth conscious OF
his weaknesses and dreading the
day when he must assume the role
of emperor as successor to his
dominant and masterful father
The minor characters, the Empress
Elizabeth, the Archduchess Valerie.
Prince Herman, Prince Zanti, the
socialistic and eccentric nobleman
and the beautiful and sensual
Duchess of Yemena, the equerries
and the other courtiers are human
beings rather than figureheads
Throughout the whole book the
point of view of royalty Is main
tanned. The commoners are in the
picture only as a background.
Couperus attempted a difficult task
and succeeded admirably.
