PICNIC AT PICTURE
 CANON SUNDAY

All the school teachers in Holbrook were present at a picnic Sunday in Picture Canyon, thirty miles south west of HoIbrook.
 A delightful lunch was served, and followed up by a watermelon feast, swimm- ing, climbing, and sight-see- ing took up the balance of the day.
 All present were delighted with Picture Canon, which is indeed a beautiful spot. There is a running stream of clear water in the Canon. The high Canon walls are covered with ancient Indian heiroglyphics which add a great imaginative interest to this picturesque spot.

BEEF COMING DOWN

We are not sure that this will have any permanent ef- feet on the world wide price of beef steaks, but at least for a second or two this week beef destined for the Flake Market in Holbrook took a sudden tumble.
 John Flake was bringing in a Ford load of beef early this week when for some cause the Ford took a head CT into the ditch and turned over, spilling the beef pro- miscuously over the lands cape. No one was hurt and he proceeded on his way and is due time delivered his consignment in Holbrook. But for a little while beef did come down!

A VALID EXCUSE

They say a poor excuse is better than none. Mir. w. B, Woods believes it. So do many others judging by the number who had business" in Winslow last Wednesday,. You had heard of course, that the famous Sells Fioto Circus was in Winslow that day.
 But forgood ? excuses Mir. Woods wins the silver plated ear muffs. He said that he had to take Roy to the cir GUS. Now the truth is that Roy is almost as tall as his father and We are sure is perfectly conversant with the ordinary procedure of attending a circus. But that was the best excuse he could think up on the spur of the moment, and so we'll let it pass. Miss Olive Clark and Miss Sue Thomas also had business in the Railroad City that day. Kathryn Rees al- so journied westward on the early train--destination unknown, but we could guess.

BATTLE OF B~RANDYWINE,

Of the important engagements Of the
American Revolutionary forces. al
though 1t resulted IN the defeat of the
American army, under command OF
General George Washington. The
victory opened the road TO Philadel-
phia to the British invaders, but also
it revealed to them the character of
the patriotic American resistance,
and impaired a disturbing suggestion
OF the in which the American
Colonists were determined to fight for
independence.
This notable conflict at arms Is of
unusual interest to our people. The
citizens Of the Wilmington borough of
that day no doubt heard the sound of
the guns and awaited with anxiety
the result Of the combat. 1t was at
Brandywine that the gallant La
Fayette was wounded, and he was
brought here for treatment and care
And for a time General washington
had his headquarters in our town.
For many years the people of VII.

NOT TO BE

The Anti-Saloon League, processing
to speak for the friends OF law and
order" expresses its delight because
of the resignation Of Justice Clarke
from the United States Supreme Court.
That on q recent occasion he should
have stated the simple truth about
Prohibition in the United States was
an unforgivable offense. Therefore,
instead of repeating the facts as they
were. the supreme agent of national
righteousness convicts him of making
"a public attack, thus rendering more
difficult the enforcement, of a law
which represents the progressive in
telligence and awakening of the
American N%ation."'
What Justice Clarke said at the New
York University Law School dinner
February 4, 1922. was this:
1.-THE Eighteenth Amendment re-
CURED millions of men and women TO
abruptly give up habits and customs
of life which they thought not immoral
or wrong, but which, on the contrary,
they believed to be necessary to their
reasonable comfort and happiness, and
thereby, as we all know, re-
spect not only for hat law but for
all law has been put to an unpre-
cedented and d~emoralizing strain in
our country, the end of which it is
difficult TO see."
Who car dispute IN word of the
Justices remarks? Who in honesty
can deny them In any particular? Who
can find in them the shade Of anything
improper or unsound? They describe
the situation fairly and accurately
as it is known to every reasonable
person.
But since the Anti-Saloon League
has undertaken to regulate the con
duct and speech of members of the
highest court, surely it has done less
than its duty in not nominating Jus.

THE LIVING wAGR.

The refusal OF tho United States
Railroad Labor Board to define and
establish a living wage for main
tenAncs Of way railway employees
raises many interesting questions.
There II, of course such u thing AS a
living wage. but this In not what IL
favored by Mr.. Jewell. head of the
shop crafts organisation. Men can
live on very little. aH they often have
done. n are. In many cases, doing
today. IL they live on their wages,
those wages are living wages. Az the
words were formerly used by econo-
mists. they meant the least amount
on which a mar could live without I'M
pairing his efficiency as a worker.
Even thus the principle y difficult
OF application because Of Its indei-
niteness. Tho circumstances OF men
differ. Some have large families, some
small, and some none at nil. Prices
and rents vary In different sections
OF the country, and individuals differ
greatly from n another. One man
might live on an income on which an
other would starve, and thus In the
first case there would be a living wage,
and in the second case not. There
can be no fiat living wage applicable
to thousands of men, for II is obvious
that what would be a living wage nor
some, would be more or less than that
for others. The problem Is. therefore,
one CT extreme difficulty. But whethes
the wage, thus understood, In. tho em,
ployer must OF necessity pay it--and
II Ia to his interest to do ~so--since II
his employees cannot live and retain
their strength they cannot work.
But something more than this Is
meant by Mr.. lowell. He Ia not think.
Ing Of a bare living wage, but OF 8
wage on which men can live In reason
able comfort and with some freedom
from anxiety. The demand IL fair. Blu
there is still the difficulty OF applyint
the principle. though the Labor Boarc
agrees that there should be "a JUS
and reasonable wage" which II pro
poses to determine. A just ant
reasonable wage must very obviousl,
be a living wage. while a barely livinl
wage may be neither Just nor reason
able. The boards proposal, therefore
seems to be more favorable to tn
men than hat OF Mr.. Jewell. TIL,
