My Old Friend S-Bill

Of all my friends, for good or i'll,
There's no friend like my old friend
Bill.
I'm never sad when Bills along
Why life is just one glad sweet song
With Bill. He satisfies one so:
ana what he'll do YOU always know.
/ tell you it's a lonesome day

Hes popular, too and hard to hold.
And good-he's just as good as gold.
fai such a generous hearted cuss!
Tie takes you round and makes no fuss
Bat what you like or want, just say.
|ni Bill old sport is there to pay.
q all my friends for good or i'll.

Value of Hone

A man without hope is the poorest
man alive because the lack of hope
duIls vision. 1t is hope alone that
makes US willing to live. Man sees
nothing to urge him on to aspire to
higher levels without hope as the
foundation. And where there is no
hope there is no endeavor. Great
hopes make great men, and the man
who does rot try is pronounced a fail
ure, Hope makes man see the bright
er side Of life, and makes him believe
that there is a pathway that leads to
greater things. When this belief is
assured mar will strive to reach the
desires Of expectations. And the
man who honestly strives for that
which he desires, there is hope for
him-Cecelia Anthony, in the Thrift

POLITICAL WRECKERS OF LABOR

The announcement is made from Washington that elements representing thirty million people have combined in a movement through which it is proposed to control American politics. Ger tain so-called leaders of farm and labor organi- zations have assembled at Chicago and Washing ton and without asking the consent of the gov erned have assumed to pledge the farmers and workingmen to program fashioned by this limited coterie of politicians.
 When the self-appointed leadership of this movement, branded as ''non-partisan," is ex- amined, it is found to be entirely composed of Democrats and Socialists No Republican has look in on this "non-partisan" movement. The truth is that the purpose is to promote the in- terests of the socialist wing of the Democratic party the wing that is pledged to government ownership and as much of the state socialism in general as it believes it will be possible to force upon the country
 Significantly enough it is announced that the campaign of this "non-partisan" organization will be focused in thirteen states Of these thir- teen states twelve are Republican states, and the thirteenth state, Oklahoma, the Democratic sta.e machine needs help because the leaders of the party, from the governor of the commonwealth on down, are involved in scandal which makes Republican success in the state election next fall exceedingly probable.
 The people of this country have right to look with suspicion upon any "non-partisan" movement controlled by Wilson-McAdoo social ists and near-sociasts. AS matter of fact this organization which has undertaken to deliver" the labor and farmer vote wherever it is be- lieved the interests of the socialist wing of the Democratic party will be best served is about as non partisan as Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, or Tom Watson of Alabama.
 It is extremely unfortunate for the labor movement that some of the more important na- tional organizations have been seized, so far as their national control is concerned by politicians masquerading as labor leaders but functioning as Democratic politicians. These politicians are not going to do the democratic party much good or the Republican party much harm, but they are doing all in their power to discredit and destroy the labor movement itself. - National Republi- can.

WHERE IS THE AFRICAN

That there is an African in the Colorado river development program woodpile is becoming in- creasingly apparent. Everyone who writes or talks on the subject agrees that, as a matter of theory, the Glen Canyon dam should be built first - and then advocates the immediate build
 ing of the Boulder Canyon dam
 There must be some reason for this eccentri- city of thought and one is puzzled to imagine what it can be. There are evidently interests involved that are not friendly to Arizona or to the complete development of the nations great est natural asset.
 It is admitted by all who have studied the problem with any attention that the Glen Can yon dam can be constructed at comparatively low cost and that it will suffice to restrain all the Colorado floods for period of at least three years, in which time the Boulder Canyon dam and as many power dams as may be desired can be built In slack water and without flood danger If the Glen Canyon dam is not built, the builders of the Boulder Canyon structure will be exposed to all the damage that the annual floods can work, aided by the 5000 foot fall through the Grand Canyon.
 It is perfectly apparent that unless flood con- trol is secured by the building of dam at the HEAD OF THE GRAND CANYON, there will never be any improvement above Boulder Can yon and the beneficial use of the river will be re- duced by not less than two-thirds. Every con- cern that would undertake the construction of a dam above the Boulder Canyon structure would have to meet the identical flood dangers that will confront the builders of that dam unless the Glen Canyon project is undertaken first It will pay the representatives of the state to look into this matter with every possible care. unless we are prepared to sit quietly aside and allow ourselves to be robbed of our greatest in- dustrlal asset - Jerome News

SHOULD STAND TOGETHER

The good folks down at St. Johns, Apache county claim that Gallup is responsible for the greater part of the propaganda in which it is claimed that St. Johns and Springerville people direct all travel through that way south instead of back north to the Old Trails Highway, ana have asked the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, along with other similar bodies in the three northern counties, to get together at a meeting and talk things over for the good of all. It would be good idea and might help to settle the contention that has been going on. The towns west have understood that all tourists who went through by way of Magdalena were routed south. This did not appeal to them and if it was true, the west could not be very much blamed for pro- testing Apache, Navajo and Coconino counties must live together and make the most of their advantages. There is no question but what the southern counties will take care of themselves and make capital out of our disagreements. The north fully realizes that two big main highways through Arizona from east to west will be good thing for the state, but the north must fight for square deal. The mere fact that the south sets up the claim that they have "the money and the votes" is not sufficient claim. Tourist tra- vel is not based on such qualifications. Tourists could travel half the world over without finding scenic attractions they find in Northern Arizona, and most of them come this way because of those attractions. A good working agreement among the people of the northern part of the state is necessary and would be beneficial to the whole state.

The democratic propaganda sent out against President Harding for discharging a bunch of employees in the bureau of engraving, does not ring true They claim it was partisan politics. !" The truth of the matter is that it was good busi- ness. The bunch in that bureau have been run ming things in their own way so long that it stunned them to think they did not own the place. At that over half the men discharged were republicans, which is sufficient evidence even for democratic mind to grasp that it was amatter of business. It shows very conclusivey that party is mighty hard up for something to criticize when they are willing to bunko the peo- pie with that kind of stuff.

FEDERAL EXPENSES CUT 30 PER CENT

It is now possible to make very definite com parisons between the expenses of the federal government under the republican administration and under the Wilson administration From July first, 1921 the beginning of the present fis- cal year, to the last of March, the government has disbursed $2, 100000 under the heading of ordinary expenditures" During all of this period every department of the government has been under republican administration.
 The democrats were in charge of the admins trative end of the government and therefore ac- countable for all expenditures from July 1, 1920, to March, 1921. The expenditures of the govern ment during that time were over $3,000,O00,000. In other words, the first nine months of the first fiscal year under the republican administration show decrease of 30 per cent in government expenditures as compared with the corresponding months of the last fiscal year the democrats were in power.

Gen. John c. Greenway, after skipping around among the different parties and factions, has gone back to his first love, the democratic party and wishes to ride the old donkey into the office of governor. There was time when Greenway would have made good race for that place, but times have changed wonderfully during the past few years. Though times have changed consid- erable, former Governor Hunt has not changed and his attitude against Greenway will mean whole lot in the coming election. It is reported that Hunt will have none of the Greenway brand of democracy. Even the conservative element of the democratic party are not very certain where to find Greenway and his past record would seem to indicate that it is extremely difi- cult for Greenway to find himself at times.
