The Flight of a Little Check

While we are having Trade at Home Week in
Phoenix Flagstaff is enjoying PAY Your Bills Week
a liouidating period which seems to have had only
casual origin Somebody started the riot by giving
the Coconoino sun check for s22. Before he had
recovered from the shock Colonel Breen endorsed
the check to creditor and that creditor to another
and so on until it had passed through the hands of
a dozen men, the last of whom was indebted to the
Sun so that again into the hands of Colonel
Breen who then perhaps because he didn't owe any
body else retired the check from circulation by
dorsng it the second that day and putting it in
the bank.
Anyhow there was no for endorse
nents and it could been kept moving only by
pasting piece of paper on it. This suggests that
bank checks should be made longer. Fac SMILES of
the Suns story of the flight of that check.
In its course that day that s22 check discharged
Indebtedness amounting to s2o9.75 and made twelve
or thirteen and firms think better of
another. though of them actually saw
dollar of anothers money represented in the volume
of liquidated indebtedness.
We trust, though that will acquire the
notion from this incident that We get along
without money There $22 in cash somewhere
behind that check. 1t may have been in the bank
on which the check drawn or it may have been
hired out by the bank, engaged in making more
money the while its representative was husting
about in Flagstaff soothing business worries.
Money is not of much in any community
unless it circuates it cannot circulate on more
inspiring errand than that Of relieving Indebtedness

A Bouquet for Teacher

Here's a commencement bouquet
for the teachers, We wish it were
of flowers instead of words and could
be presented in person to you by all
to whom it's sentiments seem fitting,
but such as il is we offer it to those
who make our commencements pos
sibIe
You teachers are among those pub
lie servants who can never be fully
paid with money. You are to be
congratulated upon your recent in
creases in money wage, but we hope
there will be an advance soon in
your real compensation-th honor
OF neighbors,. the sympathy of par
ents. and the gratitude of the state
to which your services are indis-
pensable.
You are supplemental parents. We
create pupils for you with Olympian
indifference to stock or quality and
expect you to grade them up into
ideal, twentieth century Americans.
Every new delinquency of the home
is passed on to you for correction.
You are supposed TO know about their
congenital tendencies of body and
mind and make them all serve the
ends of character and efficiency.
You are the clever apologists for
society. Being paid by taxes you
must not directly or implicitly criti-
else any taxpayers speech, morals,
or religion. You must have convic-
tions or you are no teacher: you
must be neutral or you will wreck
the American system of education.
We wonder how you keep your souls
alive.
Considering the obstacles against
which you work, your success is re-
nlarkable. You have made the school
as sofid ON the foundation of public
favor as free church or a free state
This success iss a big compensation
in itself, discounted and despised only
by those who belong to the hireling
minority.
Laborious and thankless as the
teachers work often is, we are con-
strained to offer congratulations TO
you because of the number and
nature of these compensa tons Every
true workman has his secret recon-
pense. You pulled Tommy through
that grade by working like a. coal
HEAVIER, and Tommy growled about
it and his parents didn't know about
it, but you know that you have helped
a fellow mortal through life. Some
sell calico and some cure collie. but
the teacher works with human minds
and builds the world of tomorrow
who can claim more honorable
task?
The teacher works with truth
What a JOY it would have seemed to
Socrates 10 be paid for teaching truth
to boys and girls, And how like an
Elysian dream come true would the
book of modern science seem to him,
Yours is a. philosophers heaven, if
your spirit keeps its freshness, grow
ing with the generations marveling
with the child-nlind at the uncur-
tanned world, and noting the manner
in which the perceived fact emanci-
pates and expands the soul. Beyond
the deadly routine and the records
and the impassive faces there is al
ways this ideal quality of your work

restricted to any liberty of action it might choose
to take in the dispute between Japan and China.
1t is true that Shantung would be better gov
erned by Japan than it could be governed by China
No doubt it would make much greater progress and
probably in the end the lot of the Chinese in Shan
tung would be happier under japanese rule But
that is not the thing Mexico and the Central Ameri
can countries would profit by the control of them by
the United States, but without the consent of those
counries our control would be imperialism, however
beneficent it might be. Imperialism in any form
opposed to democracy and at the time Of the sign
ing of the Versailles treaty had but lately fought
a successful war, we told for democracy

Arizona Supreme
Court Will Call
Calendar June

The Arizona supreme court will call
its calendar on Monday, June 5, ac-
cording TO an announcement made
Saturday by Miss Virginia Davis,
clerk of the court. At this time all
cases at issue in the court viii be
set for a hearing and arguments will
be heard each day thereafter until
all cases ready have been submitted
to the court.
On account of the heavy accumu-
Iation of cases filed in the court for
appeal, the court hopes to dispose of
the arguments as expeditiously as
possible, so that the docket may be
disposed of as rapidly as possible.
Because the contingency fund Of the
court for the present fiscal year is
exhausted, it Will be impossible for
the court to print the June calendar,
as has been the custom in the past,
and will therefore be unable to fur
nish the attorneys with copies of the
docket All attorneys not present
when the calendar is called will be
notified, Miss Davis said yesterday.

54 Students Given
Penrnanship Awr

Fifty-fou students in the classes
of one of the teachers of penmanship
at the Phoenix high school this year
were awarded the Zaner high school
or business certificate. Before COM
ing to Phoenix two years ago this
teacher had been employed in the
schools at ST. Louis and Kansas City.
These cities had supervisors OF PEN
manship fol the grades. Their grad
yates did not attain q much greater
proficiency than the graduates of
local schools are attaining without
special superS ision.
The attainment OF great skill in
penmanship, this teacher states, is
dependent upon the efficiency of the
teaching in the grades; that, in fact,
this great skill is often acquired in
the grades. He also gives the friend
ly hint that perhaps the grade schools
of Phoenix are not given quite enough
credit 70, their splendid foundation
work for all ligh school studies.

And This Amendment, Too?

We do not know whether not the proposed
constitutional amendment which will appear on the
official ballot in the primary designated No. ia
falls under interdction malediction of the op-
ponents of the proposed amendments. We suspect
that does they appear to regard the constitu
tion sacred the wisdom of its trainers dozen
years ago as SO superlatively sound and iEtalble,
that any interference with it. however slight must be
held to be sacrege.
That is the proposed amendment to Article XIV,
which by construction prohibits cooperative
marketing. The language of it is the that
of an act of congress passed four months amend
ng the Sherman act as to permit cooperative
marketing by farmers
When the resolutions presented to the late
Democratic state conference an amendment Of
fered pledging the opposition of the conference to
the proposed constitutional amendments. An effort
was made to ascertain from the spokesman for the
condemnatory amendment whether the cooperative
marketing amendment included in the condem-
nation. His reply was reply at all and none
evoked from him though the question repeated
and pressed.
1t is therefore to be presumed that the proposed
condemnation was all-inclusive, directed at every
possible contemplated change in the constitution to
that document fit in with conditions at present
rather than to leave it supposed conditions OF
a dozen years ago.
We do not know what the farmers will have to
say about the proposed amendments nasse, but
have little doubt that they will almost unanimous
ly endorse the cooperative marketing amendment

According story in The Republican yesterday
morning, though only representatives of ten cent
of the wheat crop of this valley took part in the
operative movement last year. there saved to
them through it 100000 How much the cotton
growers have saved have not been informed
but the sum is large and the future is big with
promise to them. We hopeful that with the
suits thus made plain. every farm product will be
brought under the benefcent operation of the CO.
operative movement and that every producer in the
valley will be represented in it.
1t has so far been conducted in technical viola
tion of the law. The need the legislation which
was enacted by congress was first felt by of
the CO. operative producers California. The raisin
growers were by profiteers who had been
taking the of their crops, with prosecution for
violation Of the antitrust law. The farmers of the
middle west similarly threatened by the produce
