THIS ISN'T FAIR

If it is true that the republicans have nomin- ated Mrs. Guild as their candidate for congress they should be ashamed of themselves for un- loading mans job onto woman. Colonel Breen, of Flagstaff refused the republican nom- lican party for congress. If she accepts the hon. would no more think of opposing Carl Hayden for congress than he would of jumping into the Grand Canyon with yearling calf on his shoul- der-Douglas International.
 Editor Wild Bill Start of the Prescott Courier pulled this original joke on us out of the impure air. So far as the editor of The Sun is con- cerned, it never reached under his impervious hide, but using Wild Bills joke to drill in other directions is not fair. The editor of The Sun was never asked to run for congress, and never made any such statement as attributed to him.
 Mrs. Guild may be the nominee of the repub- lican party for congress, if she accepts the hon or conferred by voters in the primaries it will be well understood that it was first offered and given to her by the republican party.
 Knowing Major Kelly as we do, we are certain he did not Intentionally mean to use Wild Bills joke to go further than it affected our personal old rhinoceros hide.
 Mrs. Guild will make a race that may aston ish some of the old time party-bound natives.

BONUS BILL VETO SUSTAINED

President Harding vetoed the soldiers bonus bill as he advised congress in advance he would if the bill did not contain some provision for raising the money. In his veto message he add ed that the ultimate cost could not be definitely estimated, but the treasury figured that total of $700,000,000 for the first four years with a final charge of four billion dollars
 He added this involves dangerous abuse of public credit" The executive declared it is es- sential "to remember that more than four bill lion dollars pledge to able service men would not diminish a later obligation to the aged and in- digent dependent" "This obligation" he said, would cost more millions than venture to sug- gest."
 The veto was sustained by the senate. It took more courage on the part of the president to veto the bill, for he, with all America, stands for all good that can be done for the ex-servce man, but to grant them political bonus with out the funds to pay, was not his kind of pol itics.

WORLDS GREATEST WONDERS HERE

It is not so much thing to be proud of that Flagstaff is the county seat and the center o1 the second largest county in all the bigness and broadness of great America, but 1t is some dis tincton to be not only the second largest county but to have it nationally decided that two of the greatest wonders of the whole world-Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert, are located with in that county Yet not one small part of her wonders and scenic spendors have yet been dis covered.
 The pure mountain spring water and climate each in themselves undeveloped diamond mines, with vast pine clad hills and mountains, where nature has studded the country with pictures in inexpressable colors, ancient ruins in all shapes and kinds, the Red Man and his native home. The longer one stays here the more fascinated he becomes, for there are new and interesting things to see for every day in the year.
 "You people of Flagstaff do not realize the value of what you have here in the way of wa ter and places to entertain the whole world, is the constantly repeated exclamation of visi- tors from every part of the world. The truth of this never-ceasing statement is patent to a great many, but there is great need of an organ ized effort to make Flagstaff central tour ing point equally as great as Grand Canyon it. self.
 Flagstaff is slowly awakening to her oppor- tunties.
 The energy with which the city council has taken hold of the water problem is evidence that system providing for three times our present supply, will be under actual construction next year.
 The bond election for the purchase of the Clark ranch as park site will carry beyond position for the people realize the city is growing rapidly and must do something to provide close-in place for tourists and for the entertainment of the public generally. A few years from now will be too late and even now there is strong demand for such place.
 The proposed highway through Oak Creek Canyon is another development that will bring the southern part of the state here, as we'll as open up scenic road second only in grandeur to the Grand Canyon.
 There is strong possibility of big hotel ca tering to tourist travel on the order of the Fl Tovar at Grand Canyon, being built in the near future. Such hotel located in close reach of Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert and hund- reds of other places of great interest to the trav cling public, would bring people here from all parts of the world If they came they would be entertained as long as they cared to remain with new scenes to visit.
 Flagstaff is the center of veritable wonder land and play ground that can not be surpassed anywhere in the whole world

THE TRUE MIR. BLYTHE

Sam Blythe rehasher of political history, who never in his life made specific construc- tive suggestion is out with an article criticizing the republican administration and particularly conforming bureaucracy. Evidently MT. Blythe, who used to sob every time Woodrow Wilson looked sad, doesn't know that bureaucracy made its greatest gains in American government un- der the recent democratic regime We challenge him to designate specifically which of the Wilson bureaus or commissions he thinks ought to be abolished. He says 90 per cent of them are not worth per cent of what they cost. Come on now, Sam, be specific in your condemnation of the autocrat before whose throne you used to drivel.

HOW POLITICAL WIND IS BLOWING

An old lady-one of Uncle Sam's own-gave her widows mite" during the war to buy Lib erty bond. It pinched, but she was glad to do it. Later there came several times when the wolf growled at the door and she almost HAD to have her money. But she managed somehow to get along without it.
 The old lady's heart, however, went down, down, as she saw the value of her Liberty bond go down. In the financial depression and depre- citation of everything, including credit, in which we found ourselves at the close of the demo- cratic administration, even the old ladys faith in Uncle Sam almost depreciated. She had loan ed him her money Imagine her thoughts when she saw the value of her Liberty bond dwindle lower and lower until it was worth only eighty five dollars.
 This was the situation when the democratic party turned the government over to the repub- icans. But presently times began to pick up, the wolf stopped bowling about the door. Fi- nally the old lady desired to visit her son and she sold her Liberty bond to make the journey. How much do you suppose she got for it? One hundred dollars and thirty cents!
 Compare that with the eighty-five dollars she would have gotten for it in democratic times. This is just a little straw, but it shows which way the wind blows.

Judge Westover, editor of the Yuma Sun, is a most compacent, matter-of-fact sort of fellow. His press busted down one day last week and de- layed the paper. Speaking of it he apologzed for the delay and said: Tt was very annoying and I hope it will not happen again for a long time." Most editors would have been real peeved about it and said many sturdy energetic words and wound up with the hope that "the damthing never happened again." He only hoped it wouldn't happen again for a long time, which shows he is good democrat, for they know something is bound to happen to 'en, but just hope for as long time as possible intervening

HELP TO FIGHT FLU
BY FOLLOWING RULES
OF SELF PROTECTION

Guard yourself and others against
influenza. Avoid crowds. Sleep with
your bedroom window open. At the
first sign of a cold, fever, sore throat
or that grip feeling, consult your doc
tor.
But, above all. try to keep your nose
and throat protected day and night by
an antiseptic cream. Flu germs are
literally breathed into your system. An
antiseptic cream is used to keep the
germs from lodging in your nose or
throat.
For this purpose get from your
druggist at once bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm. Insert a little into the
nostrils and draw it through all of the
air passages SO it reaches the throat.
Do this as often as may be required
to keep nose and throat antiseptic. Do
it the last thing at night and first
thing in the morning until the flu cpl
demic has passed.
Head colds and catarrh yield like
magic to this antiseptic, healing cream
that soothes swollen. inflamed mem
branes of nose and throat. Your
clogged nostrils open right up and
you can breathe freely. Don't stay
stuffed up and miserable.-Adv.
