Citizens Of River ToV1 Have Fun
Oyer Street Names

New Orleans. Aug. 1.-THE Louisf'
ana supreme court, having held con.
stitutional an ordinance which gives
the city of New Orleans power to re,
strict certain kinds OF business tc
! designated streets, the thumbing OF
street directories by oreanians to as.
certain what they can make out of 1t
has become a popular pastime. New
Orleans probably heads the list OF
American cities with unusual names
for streets, and the court ruling has
opened up series of unique oppor-
tunities.
To conform to the new ordinance
which was adopted only after heat
ed wrangle, local newspapers have
received among others the following
suggestions which the contributors
think the city commission might null
over:
Restrict bootleggers to Burgundy
streets, detectives to Mystery, church
es to Religious, charitable organiza-
tons to Benefit and Indians to
Tchouptoulas. Another would move
the supreme court, and all other
courts, to Solomon street and the
banks to Treasury, which, believe it
or not, is near Abundance and Pros
perity. The cotton and sugar ex-
changes might go to Exchange Alley,
the city hall to Moss, the Sewerage
and Water Board to, Flood, the street
paving department to Swamp, the
produce dealers to Agriculture and
the large French population either to
France or Frenchman street. Head
quarters of the labor unions might
be assembled on Union street.
There would be no trouble segre-
eating amusement enterprises, for the
race track at the Fair Grounds might
be moved to Race, cabarets to Plea
sure street, dance halls to Terpsichore,
orchestras and bands to Music and
curcuses to Calliope. One citizen
who resides in a musically inclined
wants quartets moved
to Harmony, while another who takes

CHILDREN'S HOME WILL
CLOSE VACATION SCHOOL
Summer Activities Draw to Close And
Plans For Colder Weather Seem
Imminent-Paper to Resume

The vacation school which has been
conducted during the past six or
seven weeks at the Children's Home
on Rackliffe Heights will close Friday
of this week after successful sum-
mer. Practically all of the 140 or
more children at this institution have
attended the classes, which have been
meeting every morning except Satur-
days since the beginning of July.
Various subjects were taught. Les
sons were given in English, Greek and
Latin, domestic science, such as cook
ing and sewing and other fundamental
studies, such as mathematics, reading,
writing and drawing.
Rev. DIR. J. r. klingberg, founder
and superintendent of the institution,
also taught a brief Bible lesson every
morning.
The institution is going along in a
successful manner daily, although lit
tie occurs to interrupt the peaceful
calm of its routine existence. The
boys work on the farm, husking corn
and helping to construct home
made swimming pool, while the girls
take first hand lessons in the culinary
department, catering to the wants of
hungry boys at meal times
Flower beds have blossomed out
during the summer and the home is
about to resume publication of its
monthly paper, which has suspended
for the past three months.

Anthracite Shipments Below That of

Philadelphia, Aug. 14.-The ship

reau OF information amounted to s.
260,053 gross tons as compared with
6,s34,7S9 tons during the preceding
month, a decrease of S74,734 tons.
The decrease was due to 1ndepen'
dence Day celebrations and the fact
that there were five Sundays in July
reducing the working days to rs
against IS in June. July shipments
show an increase or 1928 tons over
the same month in 1921, when 5,462,-
$50 tons were shipped. They were
about $500 tons above the average
shipments for July in recent normal
years.

tie open-minded reasoning will show
the truth of this. The treaty agreed
upon at Santa Fe represents a recon-
ciliation of the demands of the several
parties to it, upon the most available
common ground, for the accomplish
ment of a common purpose. Of a
certainly it called for concessions =
mutual concessions. That is the way
of treaties-otherwise there could be
no treaties, only war; no progress,
only stagnation and decay. 1t recog-
nized the equitable rights of all, but
submerged their maximum claims in a
mutual effort for the general good.
No doubt each state, in this effort,
went it's limit. It is reasonable to as
sumo that the terms agreed upon ap-
proximately define the outer bounds
of concession to which any state would
assent and fairly describe the condi-
tions necessary to secure congressional
approval, without which the treaty can
be of no effect. Realizing this, the
legislature of six of the seven states,
In the manner and after the method
prescribed by law, have ratified, al
though in each state there developed

local interests had not been suffic-
iently recognized. The definite and II
nal action taken has been certified to
congress. The incident, if regular and
orderly procedure may claim any vir-
ture, is closed. Assume, now, that Ari-
zona Of all the seven, contending for
an increase of recognition, shall refuse
to join the alliance of states, present
ing instead an "Arizona plan" We
may logically expect, in such an event,
that our demands will be altogether
ignored, but if under pressure of the
forces contending everywhere for ad-
ditional local or sectional recognition,
the circumstance that ratification has
already occurred should be overlooked,
we may confidently anticipate, not .ac-
ceptance of the ARIZONA plan," but a
veritable crop of plans-a California
plaza Colorado plaza Utah plan,
and so on through the list, to say moth
ing of multitude of notifications ex-
pressive of the views Of many factions,
for the adoption of which the cham
pions Of each would vigorously con-
tend. Chaos would be the order of the
day. The compact would be a thing
of the past-any compact would be far
in the future. Development of the
Colorado river would still be a dream.
The same situation would prevail
should Arizona follow the course Of
attaching to the compact amendments
The Coconino sun., 1923-05-11

in the form of reservations or inter-
pretations, requiring acceptance by
the states and approval by congress.
Seeking the recognition of rights Pc
culiar to Arizona, and designed for
Arizona's special advantage, they
would invite reservations and inter-
pretations by the other states, osten-
sibly to secure for themselves the rec
ognition of what doubtless appears to
them to be just claims. Soon there
would be babel of sounds and maze
of tentative treaties. Compacts and
counter-compacts, flying from capitol
to capitol, from legislature to legisla-
ture, backward and forward, would fill
the air. Reservations and interpre-
tations would become as the sands of
the sea. Their vehement advocacy
would be the sport of aspiring and
perspiring politicians. Pandemonium
would reign. The Colorado would
flow ceaselessly in its wasteful and
destructive course, and the congress,
beseiged for federal funds with which
to check it's ravages and reclaim the
lands along its way, would inquiringly
reply: Where is the Colorado river
compact z"
Clear thinking, soun dthinking, con-
scientious thinking, will lead anyone
who sincerely believes that Arizona
cannot, under any circumstances, af-
ford to be a party to the compact as
it stands, to the conclusion that out
and-out rejection is the only answer.
That is the natural course for the few
who want no compact. It is the hon
est, honorable, logical course for all
who, opposing the present compact,
realize that there must be a treaty.
If the enterprise for the development
of the Colorado river is to be pursued
along a distinctively ARIZONA plan,"
the vastly broader plan which has
been prepared must be cast aside. The
prospect then is not promising, but
there is no other way. Long delay is
certain; definite results at any time in
the future extremely doubtful; better
conditions than those already agreed
upon practically out of the question.
But the difficulties, if the effort is
worth the chance, must be understood
and confronted. The constitution of
the United States cannot be ignored.
If another treaty is to be negotiated,
the consent of congress must again be
gained. That might not readily be
done. In the light of Arizona's lone
refusal to accept the compact author
lied and formulated-in the know
ledge of Arizona's insistence upon
conditions, contrary to federal law and
federal policy, to which congress
would never agree-congress might
we'll be reluctant to give its consent.
That reluctance might manifest itself
over long term of years. Opposition

to place myself outside the pale of
forgiveness. An honest man has
right to any view he may hold, and
if there be those who sincerely feel
that the ratification of the Colorado
river compact would be fatal to Ari-
zona's welfare; who feel that we can
better afford the perils and the losses
of delay than to risk the evils they
read in it's provisions, or who actually
believe that the river can and will be
developed without a treaty between
the states, they are entitled to their
belief. If that is the way they feel
about it; if they have arrived at their
conclusions with wide-open eyes; if
they have counted the cost and are
willing to pay the price, I have no
fault to find with them. | have no
fault to find with you, Governor, for
advising delay pending certain engin-
eering investigations along the Colo
RADIO river, by representatives Of the
United States geological survey, the
United States reclamation service, and
the state of Arizona jointly. | do not
agree with the necessity for awaiting
the investigation, or with any likeli-
hood that its determination will add

ton, but consider your attitude with

opinion Of every honest man. | would
have impatience only with the individ-
ual, if any such there could possibly
be, who for political or personal rea-
sons, or from other insincere and dis
honest motives, would oppose ratifica-
ton; who, realizing that his efforts if
successful would defeat the cause Of
progress, still could bring himself to
purchase popularity by vaingloriously
and hypocritically posing as an undls-
MAYED and fearless champion of Arl-
zona's rights, or who, for personal
gain, would sacrifice Arizona's right
eous claim to a prosperous future.
Whatever the outcome of this most
important question, | hope that such
discussion as may be had, whether in
the public print, in public talk, in con-
ference, or in the legislature, where
under the law a conclusion must be
reached, may be marked by temper
ance of language and consideration
for the sincerity of those with con-
flicting views. Truthfulness at all
times should be the standard of debate.

had not been made-that "those who
are advocating the adoption Of the

information. There is so little of mis-

ing the adoption of the past as writ
ten" or those who for any reason seek
its defeat are spreading misinforma-
ton, thust that the truth and the
facts may become such common prop
erty that no one may be deceived.

judgment Of the people of our state

Arizona to do" and l have no doubt
the legislature will be guided thereby.

Chaplin Tries Something Never Tried Before
