1t is fair assumption that in democracy the citi

not bother himself with his share of governmental du-
ties by going conscentously to the polls and voting at
every election is doing harm to his country than
the man who makes of his franchise without re-
gard to the general welfare and with the intention of
promoting selfish and perhaps dishonest end of his
own.

have been pretty thoroughly cussed out before from

TARIFF BAR LIKELY

Canadian Reciprocity Has
Scant Hope of Favor
in Congress.

The proposal for tariff reciprocity
between Canada and the united
States. made Friday in the Canadian
house of commons by Finance Min
lister Fielding, brought no official
comment yesterday in Washington,
but some congressional leaders in
dicated that Congress probably would
not view such a proposition with
favor.

from the republican farm tariff bloc,

Under the existing act President
Harding has authority to increase or
decrease tariff rates by so per cent,

itself on record on the subject by
eliminating from the original meas

DIFFERENT HERE SINCE
JOHN D. GUTHRIE LEFT

The lure of Oregon streams, full Of
fish, so fascinated 12-year-old Aubrey
Simpson of Dead Mans Flat, near
Flagstaff, Arizona, that he would have
been here by now had not his plans
for the trip gone awry. The story
has come to John D. Guthrie of the
United States forestry service.
Aubrey arranged an elaborate con-
spiracy for his own kidnapping with
Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Hook of San
Francisco, who visited in Arizona, and
told the lad of free-and-easy life in
Oregon. The trio were arrested at
Daggett, Calf, and returned to Flag
staff. Aubrey had travelled a good
share of the way on his buckskin
pony.-Portland, Oregonian.
If Major Guthrie don't cut out this
kind of stuff about Arizona we'll soak
him in Lake Mary, let the fish bite
him at Mormon Lake and drown him
at Stoneman Lake.

Charles M. Service was last week
again placed in county Jail, Flagstaff,
where he languished hundred days
last fall after paying $500 fine on a

similar charge is lodged against him
this time and he was held over on
Saturday by U. S. Commissioner Tom
L. Rees in $500 bond for appearance
in the u. S. district court at Pres

GILLETTE CARR THORNTON
DIED HERE ON MONDAY

Cleete Carr Thornton passed away
at $50 o'clock Monday evening al
Mercy hospital, Flagstaff. The cause
ofAdeath was pleural pneumonia, with
which Mr.. Thornton had been Ill only
a few days.
Mr.. Thornton was 66 years old and
for the past "a years had been a resi-
dent of Coconino county. Most Of
that time was spent in Flagstaff.
Since the death of his wife three
wears ago, he had been employed on
various contract jobs for the lumber
companies, and at the time he was
taken i'll was working for the Ari-
zona Lumber & Timber Co. on some
railroad grading work near Rogers
lake
dad" Thornton was born June 10,
1857. in Claiborn Parish, La. He was
married in that state to Miss Ellen
Ophelia Wood. The latter died on
February %, 1920.

tiers and brother, all of Shreveport,
La; by one daughter, Mrs. Mamie
White of Venice, Calf, who arrived
here on Wednesday night with her
daughter, Miss Kate White; by one
son, Ed Thornton of Flagstaff, and

DIR. MARVIN TELLS VERY
INTERESTING STORY OF
THE HOPI SNAKE DANCE

DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of the University of Arizona, and par
ty returned to Flagstaff Saturday
evening on their way home from the
famous Hopi snake dance held this
year at Pollaca. DR.. Marvin was the
guest of Albert w. Atwood until Sun
day when he left with his party by
auto for Tucson.
This was DIR. Marvin's first visit to
the famous Hopi ceremonial and by
reason of the courtesy of j. Lorenzo
Hubbell, the nationally known Indian
trader, was made an honored guest
by the chief of the antelope men, and
was permitted to visit the kiva where
the snakes were being purified and
made ready for the public ceremony
to come the following day.
In speaking of his experience, DR..
Marvin said: at was wonderful eX-
lperience and | would not have missed
it for anything, but have no special
desire to witness it again. The spec
ial guide and interpreter furnished me
through the kindness of Mr.. Hubbell,
and who was a member Of the antel-
ope men, though not taking part ow-
ing to illness, secured admission for
me into the kiya where the snakes
were being prepared for the cere-
mony. This was most impressive and
solemn. The Indians were seated
about circle with snakes crawling
and twisting all about them. While

with them. But they believed the
real motive behind the whole thing
was to get pictures for the "Smod'
burlesque dance that is held as an
annual event at Prescott. Those
Prescott people want to get pictures
to better enable them to make fun OF
the ceremony, they decided, and there
is nothing doing.
Incidentally, this shows the true
religious spirit back of the Hopi
snake dance. They regard the cere-
mony as part of their religious ritual
and they deeply resent fun being made
of it. Their attitude when they
thought the pictures were to be used
in Prescott, and it is safe bet that
they were not far wrong in their sur
mise, was one of anger and resent
ment.
The government protects the In
dians in their rights. They had the
privilege of deciding. Once they de-
cided it was the duty of the u. S. gov
ernment men on the reservation to
see that their wishes were not violat-
ed. They informed Superintendent
Daniels of their decision.
Up to that point it had been feared
that perhaps the Indians would de-
stroy the cameras. But after there
was clear understanding between
the Indians and their superintendent,
that fear was allayed.
The governor and Photographer
Mccullough left Flagstaff Thursday
morning for the dance. Mrs. Corey
had been on the ground with her
camera for several days. The de-
cision of the Indians was soon made
known to the governor. He told Mr..
Daniels he wanted those pictures ta-
ken. Mr.. Daniels politely but firmly
refused. After that the two hours
superheated conversation may not all
have been so polite. The governor
really did, it is reported on the best
authority, threaten to call out the mill
tia to enforce his will Mr.. Daniels
knew the governor doesn't have any
authority on the reservation. Uncle
Sam is dominant there.
Two hours. Then the governor,
palpably angry, gave up the fright.

ARIZONA HAS THE THINGS
ON WHICH EMPIRES BUILD
HERRINGTON TELLS ROTARY

The following interesting service
talk was given at the Flagstaff Ro-
tary club en- Tuesday by George 7.
Harrington, manager Flagstaff Elec-
trio Light company:
Anthropologists tell us of ten great
discoveries that have been epochal in
their effects on the human race.
When man first appeared on the earth
he was a naked animal, without tools,
without weapons, with only measure
Of superior intelligence to differen-
tiate him from the beasts. Analysing
his progress from this humble be-
ginning down to the present and re-
ducing his accomplishments to the
simplest fundamentals we find ten
things that have come into his life
at successive periods, ten great pos
sessions that have changed his mode
of living, his thinking and his char
acter.
The first of these was the discovery
of fire. With this tool he could warm
and preserve himself in inclement lat
itudes, he could cook his food, could
defend himself against wild beasts
and could put it to use in numberless
ways. 1t made his life vastly easier.
The next great discovery was the
bow and arrow and spear. Now he
could defend himself more vigorously;
he could more readily secure his food
and he had time to give to other mat
ters than the satisfying of his hun
ger; he then began to increase IN
number.
Third came the invention Of pottery
the first fire resistant material. he
could now carry and store water and
other necessities; it gave him a great
er range of action and made him less
subject to the seasons and weather
After this came the discovery OF
metals and metal working and all the
manifold uses to which they can be
put. Then came the use of domestic
animals for power for his plow and
chariot and crude mills; the first mea-
ger application of power not his own.
Sixth the invention of writing, m
,reasing his means of communication
and making the storing Of knowledge
possible.
The Coconino sun., 1923-08-31

After this came the discovery of
gunpowder, the terrible power that
destroys but builds as we'll. This put
an end to the feudal system and was
the beginning of our modern democ-
racies.
Then the discovery of printing made
knowledge the common possession Of
ALL
Following closely upon this great
advance came the discovery of the
steam engine and its application to in
dustry and transportation. That story
is familiar to us all, but few of US
really appreciate how much of our
modern civilization is built upon steam
power.
And finally we come to the last
great impulse, the discovery and de-
velopment of electricity and its appli-
cation to everyday life. 1t is this
power that makes our own day differ
ent from all the past.
I will not attempt to detail the
many uses of electricity. You well
know how dependent we have become
on this force for the great bulk of
our comforts and needs today; still
LIE QeV6IOplaGIlt 10 only well SbesLbG
We have immense natural power
available and a growing demand for
this power that taxes the resources Of
the electrical industry TO supply.
We have heard within the past few
weeks about the Colorado river COM
pact. l can add nothing to what you
have heard on that subject, but ! will
try to visualize for you the water
power situation as it is known at this
time. The figures available are the
results of recognizance surveys only.
Even in our own country, which pro-
duces and consumes Al per cent of the
total hydro-electric power produced in
the world, only preliminary work has
so far been done.
The census of 1920 showed that the
total power being produced in the
United States was 100000 h. p.,
l9 per cent of this being hydro-elec-
,ric power. This includes power used
'or all purposes; the little steam
lriven country sawmill and the huge
