WE'LL, WHO is THE DAMPHooLg

Flagstaff is growing every day. 1t never has
been boom town. BoomS always have reaction
that do more harm than good in the long rum AS
in many towns we have the pessimist who knows
nothin' is agoin' t. mount to nothin nOhow IN
his town. 1t is amazing how much more influence
one crabbby knocker has over the influence of
whole batch of boosters. Actual facts and past
records do not seem to count with some people.
For the past Is years, every time a lot was sold,
the crabs held coroner'S inquest on the buyer
and deeply deplored the fact that the damphool
had paid more for the lot than the fellow who sold
it to him. They pointed out when years before
they "coulda got that lot fer taxes" and much
more talk of the same kind Through the sue
ceeding years in Flagstaff property has gone
steadily upwards in value. The same old time
crab is always with us, bucking in the harness.
mad as a hornet, because damphools have gone
right ahead and made money in spite of his most
urgent advice against any sort OF an investment
in "this mans town.
Real estate usually does not have the quick
turn over of cracker jack and chewing gum. 1t is
up to investors to help improve and go ahead.
Time adds to Flagstaff property just as surely as
interest on a note If you doubt it look at the
records Don't take an isolated case or two, here
and there, take the general trend. Take assessed
valuations of 10 years ago and now. Another
thing how long has it been since you have seen
''for rent" sign up in business building in
Flagstaff?
Flagstaff is not "fly-by-night" town. The
people here are not strong for that element who
come in with sudden brilliant schemes for SKIM
ming off the cream and disappearing.

MIR. HEARD'S STRENGTH

OF the two chief qualifications for governor,
dwight B. Heard possesses one in plentiful good
measure and from his primary campaign, derived
much OF the other. We refer first to ability to
administer the office and second to ability to get
votes.
The republican candidate measures up to the
offlce OF governor of Arizona beyond any queS-
ton or shadow of a doubt No one will deny
seriously that he is incapable of holding this lob
and doing well in it. His attackers are the only
ones who will be found questioning his compe-
tency for the place and their Judgment is not to
be taken at face value.
But before Mr.. Heard can be governor he has
got to get votes He already has many votes by
having convinced unprejudiced people that he is
capable and steadfast In this way of earning
votes, he has been a success. He must, in the
course OF the general campaign, make such an
aggressive fight for the principles which he has
announced OF business methods in government,
tax reduction and economy, upbuilding of the
state for future economic needs, that he will
swing many more votes to his side. We under
stand that he contempates just such an agrees
i've campaign.
The best craftsmanship cannot succeed unless
it can "get across" and many excellent candi-
dates have been defeated because they lacked the
gift of impressing their views on constituents In
the case of the republican nominee, the gift of
expression is not lacking. He is man of good
appearance and polse, well trained in public
speaking, and above and beyond ALL entirely sin
cere, with a sincerity that cannot but reach his
hearers. Moreover, he has developd a friendly
way of meeting people which helps great deal in
making friends for a candidate. In general, then,
the republican candidate is good one, both for
his state and his party.-Prescott Journal Miner

WHO'S WHO ANYHOW?

There seems to be race on between Senator
Wheeler and Castor B. Means, Wheelers famous
self-convcted witness, as to which is rubbing the
most mud on the other fellow. When person
stoops to the use of convicts to smear some other
persons record, the people generally feel the mud
is too deep and willing to let the confrereS bog
down out of public view. Some democrats aid
some republicans were smeared in the mess but
the general public was disgusted at the whole
smear they were compelled to pay for. The con-
gress of the United States should not be allowed to
investigate anything the people are interested in
1t only means expense to the people with poll
tical gang spending the peoples money for poll
tical advantage of one party or the other. Pub
licity in the Congressional Record at our expense
We, the people, are paying for this stuff to adj
vertise to the world that congress and all Ameri-
cans are a bunch of crooks So far as our congress
is concerned we don't wish to controvert their
view of themselves, but regardless of party, we
the people, refuse to agree with the congressional
idea.
Our government is supposed to be divided into
three parts. Executive judicial and legislative
At least our constitution mentions it that way
Just for spite, we would suggest the people make
those elected to office stick to that constitutional
agreement. They, the office holders, swore they
would. Many of those elected swore to their
promises regardless of the constitution.
That is hardly fair to the people, but once man
is elected he declares "he is the people, and what
can you folks do about it?
Now wouldn't it make our congressional free
spender-wonders awfully provoked if it, congress,
was compelled to go before court of the people
where honesty was recognized, regardless of po-
litica belief, where congressman and senators had
to get down to brass tacks-like all ordinary NOR
tails who have no government funds to expend in
trying to whip some political enemy?
Some day just us home-foks are going to get
wise to what congress can spend our money for
along that line and check up. We elect masters of
our money-they levy it, but why is there not
some court wherein the justice of their political
claims be adjusted among themselves and
why not make them pay for it?

MIR. HUNT RIDES TO A FALL

paper published in the interest OF union LABOR aC
Tucson and a paper which has heretofore Deen d

say of Hunts candidacy: ~.
GEORGE Without Platform Hunt has secured Tie
democratic nomination. That is past history
In winning the nomination he was lucky-anu
vet unlucky. He was lucky - have had two OPP
ponents instead of one, Mr.. Osborne Ii ne mao
had only Mr.. Osborne opposing HIM there Would
have been many democrats who would nave Voteo
against Hunt who did not vote at all because they
realized that with two men splitting the Hunt op-
nosition there was no chance to beat George the
Fifth However, Hunt was very unucKy II WIN
ming the nomination because he will be put to the
expense of fighting for the election-an expen-
siye fight which he will lose. Con the other hand,
navbe Mr. Hunt does not worry about spending
money. since it is coming from the state en-
ployeesD
According to the list of registration sent out
by the secretary of state there was total regis
tration of SO, GAG voters registered up to August
31st. Of this number 1869 were listed as demo-
Gratis and 28287 as republicans.
Based upon an 80 per cent turn out Of the total
registration there will be something like $4,000
votes cast at the general election. Of these votes
AZ. 900 will be democratic and $4,000 will be re-
publican. The Osborne and Samuel democratlcs
and other anti-Huntites in the democratic fold
will account for at least $4,000 votes This COM
bined with the very nearly solid republican vote
will0.lve the republican candidate almost $4,000
votes against $4,000 for Mr.. Hunt.

an entirely different story. a,oe

HIGHWAYS NEED POLICE PROTECTION

1t will only be short time now before each
county will be compelled to employ regular high
way police to police the public roads and protect
the travelling public Crimes along our highways
are becoming about as numerous as in cities 1t
has been rather easy in the past for the tourist
hobo" to walk out of town few blocks then rest
until an auto picked him up and carried him on as
far as it went in the old spirit of friendliness.
Nowadays automobile hummer" has become a
regular institution similar to the old freight train
hobo bent on stealing ride across country-the
auto bum is often much better dressed and desires
to impress the passing auto driver that he is on
an inspection tour. Too many automobsts have
learned recently that they are taking desperate
chances in picking up Floating tourists" walking
along the highways. Auto police must be the next
step to protect the auto travellers.

SOUTH SIDE GROWING RAPIDLY

A visit over on the south side on San Francisco
street, will surprise about two thirds of the resi-
dents of the north side of town at the progress
that section is making Many stores and business
buildings have been going up over there and a
city all by itself is growing rapidly. The south
side has been making greater progress in the past
four years, in proportion to population, than the
north side has. Few people realize that there are
dozen or more stores over there with new brick
rooming houses and restaurants, most of them
built within the last year. Scout around the city
out of your beaten path few times and you will
get some idea of how Flagstaff is growing

NATURAL HUMAN NATURE

In many parts of Mexico, hot
springs and cold springs are found
side by side. One can see native
women boiling clothes in hot spring,
rubbing them on a flat rock and
rinsing them in clear cold spring.
A visitor watched this process for
some time, and then said:
81 suppose the natives think old
Mother Nature is pretty generous,
eh?"
"No, senor," replied his host. "There
is much grumbling because she sup
plies no SOAP"

FREE SEEDS

Congressman Dan E. Garrett, dur
ing his recent term in Washington,
had received ten applications for pea
seeds from one of his constituents.
He complied with each request, but,
when the eleventh application came in,
sent the package of seeds with the
following letter:
81 am sending you the seeds, but
what in Heavens name are you doing
with SO much pea seed? Are you
planting the whole state of Texas with
peas 2"
"No," came the answer. eve are
not planting them at all. We are
using them for SOUP"

Senator Ashurst was recently rebuked for
Whistling in the senate corridors by the antor or
some other person in authority and it is possible
that whether or not a senator can thus be re-
buked may be brought into the national campaign,
if not taken up with the league of nations If there
was ever time in democrats life when he needs
to whistle to keep up his courage it is now and it
is most unseemly that Senator Ashurst was not
accorded this senatorial courtesy.

WHY HE LOOKED TIRED

The head of large business house
noticed that one of his clerks had
been looking off color for some
months, and, one morning, when he
was looking rather paler than usual,
he tackled him on the subject.
"You look tired this morning,
JONES'" he said kindly. "Don't you
sleep we'll ?"
"No, sir" was the reply. "The fell

TOURISTS OR SMOKE?

Which will we have tourists or
smoke? Which do we want, tour
lists or smoke? Smoke carries no fl
nancial return, only timber loss and
physical uncomfortableness. Tourists
bring actual financial gain. With the
increasing numbers Of these visitors
we expect much in development of this
section. New hotels are being planned
to accommodate them, more transpor-
tation facilities are being produced to
carry them. Each one Of US will profit
in some way from theis influx.
These people are coming to see our
land and we wish that they will go
back to their homes satisfied and with
desire to come again and bring their
friends along. To have them go with
this enthusiasm they must see the
land at its best. Can they do so with
the hills covered with clouds of smoke
and the distant views blurred with
smoky haze. Last summer many were
disappointed on account Of their in
ability to see Mt. Mckinley for smoke.
Each of US can aid in this. Be care
full with fires in the woods and urge
all we meet to do so too. Eliminate
fires, satisfy our visitors with clear
skies and we will benefit by doing so.

A COSTLY EXPERIMENT

According to prominent Repubh-
can official of the Third Division, John
Rustgard as attorney general, has cost
the Territory $4,000 per year in use
less lawsuits against corporations and
canneries, started apparently for cam
paign propaganda. In private life Mr..
Rustgard is a suave, economical per-
son, who counts his pennies and looks
after the dollars. AS a public official
he is profligate and wasteful with pub
lie funds.
A few years ago he secured $780,
600 from the legislature to fight the
local steamship companies, by install
ing a government line. Immediately
after securing the money he engaged
a Seattle attorney to go to Washing
ton, the expenses Of the trip totallng
over $4,000, not counting the Seattle
attorneys salary. Mr.. Rustgard should
have handled the case himself, as at
torney general, and saved the Terri
tory the $4,000 thrown away useless
~.
Recently he instituted suit against
a cannery on an IndiJl reservation IN
southeastern Alaska, asking that II

ENTERTAINING ANGELS

The Anchorage contingent who wit
messed the arrival of the airplanes
evidently did not like the hospitality
extended them judging by remarks
sifted thru by grapevine telegraph.
According to reports about forty per-
sons greeted the planes, including the
crowd from Anchorage; the aviators
were compelled to hunt accommoda-
lions, and no notice was taken Of them
while here. Through the orders OF
Lieut.. Bissell, no entertainment was
provided, as he desired the men to
rest. They were met at the waters
edge by Mr.. Ellsworth with the best
cars in town, which were placed at
their disposal while here. 1t is unfor-
tunate that these remarks come back
to our citizens as it causes much hard
feeling, our citizens believing they
did their best, or at least did as they
were requested to do.

paw taxes If Mr. Rustgard had taken
nreyious cases as a precedent, ne
would have known that the cannery
was exempt by reason OF being on
reservation. This cost the Territory
large sum Of money, as Mr.. Wicker
sham was engaged to go to San Fran
cisco as special counsel.
These are but two of the hundreds
Of instances in which the Territory has
been mulcted. These are but two OF
the cases wherein Mr.. Rustgard has
looked after his friends. But when the
matter of increasing the pensions OF
the Pioneers of the Territory came be-
fore the legislature, it is alleged, MI.
Rustgard's economical streak quickly
asserted itself
During past campaigns Mr.. Rust
gard has slid into office as the appen-
dix Of some politician friendly to HIM;
not for his ability as an attorney, but
as a man who sees that his friends are
taken care of in a political wy. he
has never came before the people on
campaign platform showing his IN
tegrity and worth to the people, but
has started a campaign Of vilification
against his opponents. At this style OF
campaigning he has proved 100 per
cent efficient. Whole volumes have
been written against his antagonists
where a half dozen words would have
explained his fitness for the office the
legislature has vainly tried to abolish.
Sliding in as the tail to the Wicker
sham kite he is now lined up with
John Frame, Sutherland, and VIM.
Paul, trusting their popularity Will
carry him over the rough spots.
Had the money Mr.. Rustgard vast
ed during the past few terms Of Of
flee been retained in the Treasury, the
Pioneers would not now be drawing
half pay as pensioners. Had he scatter
ed the seeds of political kindness along
the pathway of these old boys, they
would have been in comfortable CIR
cumstances. The pension money has
been exhausted ,frittered away, ano
it is nearly a year before the next leg
islature meets. We wonder if John
will be found lined up against an IN
crease in the monthly annuity wher
this time comes?

Seward will experience one of the best

needs in more dwelling houses. If a
half dozen families came to town to-
morrow it would be hard to find resi-
dences for them. In several instances
rents have been raised on tenants,
which has a bad impression on new
corners. What we need is not higher
priced homes, but cheaper ones. Unless
