A GOOD WORK FOR THE
CLUB TO UNDERTAKE


The residents of Landsdown (the
New Jersey village, not the Penn
sylvania town of that name) vi
cinity are now alternating for the
remainder of the winter, according
to the Clinton Democrat. The ex-
cuse given is that the roads are
SO bad in that section that the
members of the Community Club
cannot congregate for a meeting.
Anyone who has ever tried road
in that vicinity will find it easy to
believe that they are untravelable.
The question has been raised,
however, as to why the Community
Club doesn't undertake to boost for
better roads, that apparently being
the greatest need. Education and
other enlightenment won't do the
Landsdowners much good if they
can't get away from home to show
off their accomplishments.

A kiss is a peculiar proposition
Of no use to one, yet perfect bliss

The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to steal it.
And the old man has to buy it.

The lovers privilege.

GIVE AN HONEST MAN A CHANCE

We, the great American people, deserve only
such political effectiveness as We the great Amer
ican people, put into our great political system
The weak-minded, the thoughtless, yes, and the
brainy, with but thoughts for their own selfish
interests, all make up the vast American public
We pass the buck reneg on taking responsible
ity want our own individual garden fortified
first, and, thinking and doing as we dc, wonder
why the government does not function better Too
many of us fail to realize the one great fact that
we ourselves are making it almost impossible for
an honest conscientious man to be a success in
politics. We won't vote for him in many instances
because he has been a success in his own business
affairs. It's jealousy combined jealousy of
those who have been failures We have failing
for failures" in life and vote to give them potl-
cal jobs-to help them along. They are failures
in office and the public pays for their Worthless
attempts at service
The Coconino sun., 1924-08-01
GOVERNMENT BY MINORITIEs

With current political manifestations in mind,
President Coolidge said before the congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolution: "Abra-
ham Lincoln said that no man is good enough to
govern any other man. To that we might add
that no minority is good enough to be trusted
with the government of the majority and we
shall be wise if we maintain also that no majority
can be trusted to be wise enough and good enough
at all times to exercise unlimited control over the
minority. We need the restraints of a written
constitution"
Although the founders of the republic provided
against exercise of tyrannical power by a man, a
minority or majority, human nature is such
that attempts are made not infrequently to break
down the safeguards that were created. We have
had presidents who assumed to dictate to con-
gress and we have had congresses that undertook
to usurp the authority of the executive.
In Washington now one of these attempts is
being staged. The president is resentful of it.
One reason for the attempt is the falling away Of
public interest in elections. In many directions
public officers are chosen not by a majority of
the qualified electors but by a majority of the
minority of the people eligible to vote.
The Coconino sun., 1924-08-01
START OFF RIGHT ANYWAY

It is a mighty good sign of the times when
newspapers over the land are getting over the
.dea that it is good politics to call the opposing
candidate horse thief, murderer and CRATER"
)r insinuate something similar when they know it
S not true. An honest statement Of the other
man, fair statement as to what he stands for,
argument against his ideas of the public need, are
all good There is an element of society that still
demand lies, misrepresentation and personalities,
but the men and women who are helping to build
up the country do not belong to that element.
Filth, cuss words and abuse do not constitute an
argument Newspapers were greatly to blame for
the old condition of affairs. It is fair enough to
tell the truth about candidate-not part of it
ment.
The Coconino sun., 1924-08-01
SOMEONE MUST BE HARDBoILED

Among the presidents this country has elected
no man since Lincoln has been so closely associat
ed with the rank and file of the people as Calvin
Coolidge. His ideas are not mere theories, but
are convictions gained in the school of experience
The best campaign documents of the republican
party are the addresses of Calvin Cooge to the
budget commission of the government, the watch
word of the party shouldbathe sentiment express
ed by him: Il am for economy, and then more
economy In the short time he has occupied the
presidential chair he has demonstrated the fact
that he wears mans collar; that he takes
dictation from no one but the people. These are
the things that will re-elect him by one of the
greatest majorities ever given president

Of Ballinger, in the Central Western
section, planting is delayed usually
from the Goth of April to May l." Z
Farmers representing the largest
acre producers responded to Mr.. AL
words investigation with the infor-
nation that they all planted as early
as possible, and said that people recon-
mending delay until June or July
would have to show them successful
results before they could give credit
to the theory.
Mr.. Alvord stated that an extract
from the Farmers Bulletin, No. 1920,
from the Z. S. Department Of Agri-
culture, presented perhaps the most
concise summary of the facts regard
ing weevil control and the delay of
planting in Southwest Texas:
1.-The foregoing facts relative to the
life history, Information, emergence
and multiplication of boil weevil show
very plainly the Importance of pro-
ducing a cotton crop Just as early in
the season as possible. In reality,
the production of cotton in the place
of weeyil is nothing more nor less than
a race between the setting of bolls on
the plants and the multiplication of
the weevil, and everything possible
should be done to aid the cotton
plants in winning the race"
