TOLERANCE SHOULD PREVAIL

The Sun has splendid opportunity each week to start a religious or a personal controversy that would stir up many people and create much ill-feeling among friends. Fortunately, Flag staff has but few cranks along that line and our people live together more harmoniously than many other communities and we hope they will always continue to be liberal-minded, tolerant people, believing others should have the same rights they claim for themselves. There are al- ways the intolerant few in every sect creed or political party, but there is and should be, bet ter understanding between men and women of broader, better minds
 The Sun does not expect all it's readers to al- ways agree with the policy of The Sun, on the other hand, The Sun does not believe that one who disagrees with us should be slandered or run out of the community. It takes all kinds of people to make world, consequently we do not think it our duty to bust up a world or con- munity just to please some one who can't get the whole world to keep in step with him. We have in mind no special "horrible example," but the heated summer season along with the poli- tical season, usually brings out larger crop of strong feeling than during other seasons of the year. Wasn't it Admiral Sampson who said at the battle of Santiago: Don't cheer, boys; don't you see the poor fellows are dying?"
The Coconino sun., 1922-07-07
TRUTH GRADUALLY DAWNING

One of the chief reasons why our postwar period of reconstruction has extended over so long time is the unsound notion we have had that laws will solve serious economic and social problems We have turned to congress and to our state legislatures for remedies when as a matter of fact the only remedy was to be found within ourselves individually. We have clutter ed up our statutes with laws which only made the return to stability more complicated instead of easier. There are now signs of a revolt against the passage of numberless laws and it is well come and hopeful sign. The watchword for our lawmakers in' the future should be fewer laws and less hampering with private business and in- dividual enterprise. Progress is made by human beings, not by gislation.--Lincoln (Neb.) Jour nal
