hooked across the green slopes
where the confederate and union
dead sleep almost side by side
and declared, "a mightier force
than ever followed Grant or Lee
has leveled both their hosts, raised
up united nation, and made us all
partakers of new glory"
Sees Stronger Union
The chief executive previously
had turned to the few remaining
veterans in gray, seated just be-
fore him, and TO their sons and
daughters and, with a reminder
that time has softened, discretion
has changed" the bitterness of con
fiict between north and south said:
"Your country respects you for
cherishing the memory of those
who wore the gray. You respect
others who cherish the memory Of
those who wore the blue. In that
mutual respect may there be a
firmer friendship and stronger
and more glorious union
Addressing those met to honor
the confederate dead as my fell
low countrymen" the president
spoke as follows:
"If | am correctly informed by
history it is fitting that the Sab

This follows from the belief that
except for the forces of Oliver
Cromwell, no army was ever more
thoroughly religious than that
which was commanded by Cen

Moreover, these ceremonies ne

and a belief that rise above the
things OF this life. 1t was Lincoln
who pointed out that both sides
prayed to the same God. When
that is the case, it is only a mat
ter oftime when each will seek a
common end. we can now see
clearly what that end is. It is the
maintenance of our American form
of government, of our American in

ideals, beneath a common flag I'M
der the blessings Of Almighty God.
In closing he paid tribute TO

THE CONSTITUTION


The forthcoming number Of the
Northwestern Railway Magazine
will contain an article or the Con-
stitution Of the United States by
Lucille Johnson, daughter Of George
r. Johnson warehouse foreman at
La Crosse, Among other things the
writer says:
/ am thankful that ] am living
in the United States, a country
which has a Constitution that quar-
antees every one equal rights and
privileges. Our Constitution is q
great work. It took a long time be-
fore it was thoroughly organized.
The men who organized it were
careful to put in sections which
would provide for our freefeom and
liberty. No other country in the
world has such a great system.
What is the Constitution? 1t is
powers granted to different depart
a document which consists of the
ments Of our government; which
gives the manner of elections and
inter relations of 1.-THE Nation and
the United States, plus our rights
and privileges. The word "Consti-
tuition" as used among us means .
written instrument. Gtiis called the
supreme or highest law of the
land.
The Constitution is the strong
protector OF every American. 1t
provides for an equal chance for
every one whether he be rich or
poor. white or colored. The Con-
situation gives us freedom of speech
and religion, protects our humane
rights and helps the weak so that
the strong may NOT take advan-
tage OF them. BY freedom / do not
mean that anyone may do as he
wishes, but that he may do it if
it does not interfere with anyone
else's rights. The Constitution also
preserves our liberty which is the
most valuable thing in the world.
We do not realize the value Of our
human liberty beause we have had
it ever since we were born. We
take it unthinkingly just the way
take food and drink. We should
all understand this freedom of ours
whence it came and how to keep
it. for it is our most precious gift.
The people who come to America
the Joy of this freedom more than
from other countries seem to feel
the American born.
A law cannot be passed which
would take away any of our rights
and liberties given us by the Con-
| stitution. Or rather. if such a law
were passed THE Supreme Court
of the United States would rule
it out if it Thought it was some
thing contrary to the sense of he
Constitution.
The Constitution was made by
wise and experienced men. 1t was

and a half miles east of Maine, near

cash and stunning him for second.
Otherwise there were no casualties.

that there were no serious results,

HOW THE PEOPLE ARE
BEING MISLED AS TO
BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL

Among the mass of misinformation
being promisciously peddled about the
proposed sale of the Bright Angel
Trail valued at $4,000, to the govern
ment of the United States for approx
imately $500,0O0, was the wild story
that the forest service was just about
ready and was planning to spend
S75O,000 on a road connecting the Old
Trails highway with Grand Canyon.
On request Supt. ]. Ross Eakln
of the Grand Canyon national park,
wired to secure some information
as to the plans of the forest service
and what they expected to do in the
way of road building with reference
to this particular project. Under date
of August 15, Supt. Eakin received
the following official reply, which OF
course gives the lie to the much
heralded dope against the sale:
"About ten days ago, the service
received a wire from you requesting
that statement be secured from the
United States forest service as to
what their plans for any construction
work on the Maine-Grand Canyon
highway are under their forest high

DROUGHT IS FORCING
CATTLE AND SHEEP MEN
OUT OF THIS FOREST

Drought conditions in the Coconiho
National forest and below the rim on
the west side of the range are daily
growing worse. Cattlemen from this
section have been for some time
scouting in the Salt River valley and
elsewhere trying to find range.
Many sheepmen have moved out of
the forest, both for lack of feed and
to preserve their forest range against
too close feeding. Among them are
Campbell, Francis & CO., who have
moved to range in the east part of the
county.
Heavy September rains below the
rim will save the situation there, be-
cause the growing season is longer.
1t will help above the rim, also, as
far as watering of stock is concerned,
though unless frosts come unusually
late, vegetation won't be helped much,
if at all.

PROBABLY HE EXCLAIMED
"AIN'T NATURE GRAND!"

Some fool who pretended to be a
nature lover tossed a cigarette beside
the Schulz Pass road on Sunday and
started forest fire. Had there been
any wind of consequence, instead OF
half-acre enough of the city water
shed might have been burned over to
absolutely ruin Flagstaff.
E. G. Miller, forest supervisor, says
that closing the southern part of the
forest against campers in the hunt
ing season is being seriously consid-
cred, because of the fire menace.
Other stringent measures may be TAX
en- along our forest scenic routes, per-
haps involving absolute prohibition of
smoking.
Conditions on our water shed have
in the last few years become almost
ideal for the conservation of water.
Where the big forest fire occurred
several years ago above the basin,
the trees, falling across the numer-
Gus ravines, have broken, V-shape,
forming ideal check-dams, behind
which larkspur and other plant-life
has sprung up, absorbing moisture
and preventing erosion. A fire COM
ing at dry time of the year like this
would burn these natural check-dams
out and at the same time burn the soil
to depth that would prevent vegeta-
tion for many years to come and rum
the watershed.

INDIAN ORATOR AT
DANCE SPOKE TO POINT

Just before the snake dance at
Hotevilla, an Indian made speech
several minutes long which was
closely listened to by the Indians.
The Writes listened closely, too, but
very few knew what he was talk
ing about and there was much con-
lecture. 1t finally got around that
he was thanking the Hopis on be-
half of the Navajos for the priv
ilige accorded the latter of attend
ing the dance and also praising the
Hopis for their efforts to bring
rain.
But he wasn't. The fellow was
a Navajo policeman. The Hopis
had complained bitterly that Nav
'ajos had stolen Hopi sheep and
other of their possessions. This
is in brief what he said:
"You Navajos have got to quit
stealing. If you don't, then by the
Hopi gods, the Navajo gods, the
white mems gods and by God, I'll
get you'll"
