JULES FALK CONCERT

Last Monday at the Armory, Jules
Falk, the eminent violinist. perform
ed to most critical audience. For
virtuoso to hold concert in Monte
Vista is rare occurrence. and the
efforts OF the Rotary Club and
Troop "A" have been amply repaid.
1t was daring educational expert
ment and had a successful outcome.
but many of the citizens of this city
have yet to learn that support must
be given to such ventures in order
to encourage our best artists to visit
Monte Vista.
To attempt to criticise each in
dividual number of the programme
is almost a hopeless task inasmuch
as the whole programme was so
carefully selected that the tastes OF
all were considered. Perhaps the
most popular number WAS Minuet
in G Major by Paderewski. This was
an encore number but the audience
pronounced 1t one OF the best. At
the end OF the performance Mr.. Falk
gave repeated encores, most un-
usual thing. and this fact speaks
well OF the musical desires OF those
present. Mr.. Falk undoubtedly has u
wonderful command OF his instru.
ment. and 1t was an obvious fact
that his tone was perfect, further
his technique was so wonderful that
one can only pay tribute to his gen.
ius by saying he has no equal on
this continent.
His Ghost Dance number and also
The Chase were probably the most
popular numbers, and We suggest
that when he pays his next visit In
February he will repeat same.
Miss Edwyi Reddink WAS accom-
panist and gave a quiet but adequate
support to all numbers.-Musicux.

COOLIDGE, THE MAN

The senate's resolution demanding President
Coolidge to ask for the resignation of Secretary
Denby Immediately was but trap set for the
president President Coolidge did only what a
courageous, honest, conscientious man would do.
He told the senate:
mo official recognition can be given to the pas.
sage of the senate resolution relative to their opn
ion concerning members of the cabinet or other
officers under executive control. do not propose
to sacrifice any innocent man for my own welfare
nor retain III office any unfit man for my well
fare"
That cean-cut statement again raised President
Coolidge another 100 per cent in the estimation of
the people Of the United States The resolution
showed conclusiyely how coWardly the senate is in
endeavoring to besmirch mans character with
not particle of evidence of guilt against him.
The hardy courage and honesty of Coolidge re-
gardless of his own personal political fortunes
meet with the hearty approval of the whole peo-
pie. 1t was an accurate guage of the calibre of
the senate. If a man stands in the way of its
political ambition, cruelty him.

REFLECT PRESENT CITY COUNCIL

In a financial way there may be some regret
that it does not seem feasible to construct dam
in Schulz Canyon to secure an additional water
supply for the city, but Flagstaff has become Ia
nous for its pure mountain spring water and even
at an additional cost many would prefer to main
tain this reputation. There is every indication
that the city council and the Santa Fe will reach
some amicable settlement that will perTplt the
city to go ahead with the necessary improve
ments this year. The present city council has
done splendid work and has been constantly at
it for the past four years. 1t is entitled to
great credit for so literally giving time,
without pay, to this most vital subject While it
is understood that few members of the council
desire reelection, we believe they are public spir
tied enough to realize that their knowledge Of the
subject is most valuable just at this time to the
city of Flagstaff On the other hand the people
of Flagstaff should insist the same men, as
near as possible be reelected to carry on the work
which they are so thoroughly familiar with and
which they have brought SO near realization. 1t
would be only partialmeasu1e of reward for this
good work to reflect them unanimously. 1t is to
people will put aside all other considerations and
insist on the present members of the council car
rying on the water works project to a successful
conclusion. They know our financial condition
and have studied it along with plans for water
development which would fit in and make it pos
sible without its becoming burden to taxpayers.
The city water works is a veritable gold mine for
Flagstaff All we need is good business men to
develop and manage it. The election will occur
next May.

BILL DON'T READ THE PAPERS

Colonel Fred Breen he who makes the Coconino
Sun shine and who may be the G. O. P nominee
for governor on a "Breen and Beans" platform,
says the democrats of Arizona will be IN an awful
fix about the Colorado river compact this year. He
may be fooled in regard to that, but, anyway, the
donkey will have this advantage over the ele-
phant-he won't be running around in a panic
with an oil can shaped like teapot dangling from
his tail.-Prescott Courier.
Probably so, probably so, Bill, but not necessar-
lily. While the senate investigating may have
gotten the first Fall out of the teapot, it begins to
look as though the donkey had sorter begged
down in the dome and won't be running much a.
tall. The awful fix of the democratic inquisitors
reminds us very much of peculiar circumstance
which surrounded old Jim Hance One time, years
ago, when Tom Pulliam was sheriff, Old Jim dis
covered rumors floating round that he had stolen
some shovels He inquired of Sheriff Tom how
much it would cost to swear out 'sarch var
rint to search his place to prove he didn't have
the shoves.
Sheriff Tom, though democrat, was always
an accommodating, lovable cuss, and told Old Jim
it would cost about $500. Old Jim paid the 500
and demanded immediate action.
Tom, as personal favor, went to make the
search in person. In digging around IN garret
and other places, he found a lot of hammers, mon
key wrenches and other such implements. When
this stuff came to light Old Jim rar'ed back and
exclaimed in high tenor: "Hyar hyar! | didn't
pay you to sarch for no hammers and Wrenches.
Yure only paid to sarch fer shovels.'
So it would seem to indicate to the average hon
est person that the democratic search for Fall
had run into lot of monkey Wrenches and ham
mers they were. not instructed to look for.
However, we hope under the direction of Pres
ident Coolidge, the astounded Senator Walsh will
continue the search to the last man. So far it
has only changed McAdoo to Mack, adieu.

PARTING WITH FATHER yABRE

There was deep and sincere sorrow in every
home throughout the northern part of the state
when the news came of the sudden death Of Faith
er Vabre. He was thoroughly imbued with pa
triotism and love for his adopted country. Aside
from his duty to his church he among
men, ever ready to lend his aid to every progress
at large. Sincere love for Father Vabre was not
limited to the members of his church, but extend
ed to all creeds and classes He believed there
was good in all men and that it was his duty to
find it. He consistently made it his duty to as
sist in putting out the kindling brands of hatred
and jealousy wherever found smouldering and
with his CHEEKY smile helped the disconsolate and
discouraged to a brighter, better and more hope
full view of life "The Padre" we loved to call
him, has gone away. We shall all miss him sadly,
but he has left an indelible imprint of wonderful
life of self-sacrifice and love behind fitting
guide for all to follow.

GRABBING THE COLORADO

The Swing bill with its forty millions donation
to Los Angeles for dam at Boulder Canyon, is
not meeting with all the favor its proponents had
hoped for. From newspaper accounts it would
seem that Senators Ashurst and Cameron and
Congressman Hayden are all predisposed toward
the Boulder Canyon dam for some reason or other.
For Arizona's representatives to favor dam to
be located in Nevada in preference to Arizona
smacks of treason, but we hope an investigation
as proposed will not strike any "oil." Governor
Hunt is thoroughly Arizona" when it comes to
the development of the Colorado river. He is ir-
revocably for the Glen Canyon dam first as every
Arizonan should be, commencing at real start
ing place for profitable development of the
whole river. However, in holding up the ratifica-
ton of the pact, we believe Gov Hunt has played
into the hands of the California gang.

THEY ARE BOUND FOR GRAND CANYON

Phoenix has established branch of its
chamber Of commerce in Los Angeles for the pur-
pose of directing Los Angeles bacllwash over the
southern route into Salt River valley. While rath-
er doubling if the "backwash" has anything left
after stay in California, are constrained to
believe that it is better stunt than trying to
head off eastern travel headed for Grand Canyon
and attempting to divert it south before it has
visited its objective point. The average tourist
first made up his mind to visit Grand Canyon. He
may want to see other parts of Arizona after
ward. The vast tourist travel starts from the
east during the summer months. 1t has no
desire to go through desert or hot country, con-
sequently naturally takes the northern route. The
northern route regardless of constant misrepre-
sentation as to condition of travel, is open the
year around except for such storms which block
all sections of the country for few days at time
during the winter months. The southern routes
are as badly affected by storms as the north route
or any of the eastern sections of the country.

A GRACIOUS THING TO DO

At the dedication ceremonies of the Womans
club building last Friday night Miss Mary Boyer,
president of the club most graciously turned the
building over to the city of Flagstaff, saying it
was community property under the management
Of the Womans club, but dedicated to the best use
Of the whole community; primarily home for
the Woman's club but it was hoped it would not
stand idle when it could be used in the best inter-
ests of the people generally. 1t is splendid build
ing arranged so that it may be used for many
purposes and the unselfish idea of the Wonan's
club that it be used as community house will
appeal to all as a most generous idea and one that
will help build it larger and larger as the need
appears. The women take larger view of the
responsibilities and duties of the members than
merely social enjoyment. They believe in being a
real factor in every avenue of community life.
Vanderlip, the New York banker, recently OPP
ened his mouth in a speech at Osining, N. Y, so
wide that both his feet slipped in. When called
as witness before the senate investigating COM
mittee relative to his knowledge of the sale of the
Marion Star by President Harding all he could say
was "it was rumored." lie had no knowledge of
the sale of the paper or even the price paid Now,
with great assumed virtue he says he made the
talk with hope that the rurnors would be investi-
gated. His name should be changed to Wander
