BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW

About to begin building new depot in Flag
staff this year and agreeing to pay ten to
fifteen times more each month for our water than
it has in the past, the Santa Fe railway COM
pany isn't discriminating against Flagstaff SO
you could notice it.
1t is doubtful if we would have had our paving
along Railroad avenue and out Milton road but for
for the cooperation of the railway company in
bearing its part of the expense; eyen if we re
member right, putting up the money in advance
TO help the city out temporarily
1t has taken some hard work to get the depot.
1t took hard work to get the favorable water con
5ract. To get anything worth while takes hard
work. 1t is a good thing it does, for it makes us
more alive in every way also appreciate much
more the things we work for than those we don't.
Santa Claus is about the only person, real or
imaginary who doesn't make us work hard for
what he gives us, and to make up for that he sure
enough makes us work hard for what he gives our
friends Even the Lord demands that we are to
help ourselves if he is to help us, and intimates
we won't get much if we try to get it by faith
alone, with work along with the faith.
Which philosophical rambling, admitted, of
course, by you to be deep and extremely high
brow and all that, brings us to the further asser
tion that whatever we are to become, or get must
be by work-the harder the more result Even in
getting more good roads, the harder we work the
more likely we are to get funds from the state or
The national government, or both, for their build
ing. Ii you don't believe it, look at Yayapai coun-
ty They work down there, work everybody they
think can give them thing That is why they
have so many things given them.

THERE ALWAYS is SOMEONE OPPOSED

Of course there are some people who oppose
the water bonds That may be taken for granted
and will be proven when the votes are counted
next Tuesday night.
We assume their opposition is mainly the re-
suit of not understanding all of the details and
facts involved. A man may oppose a good thing
sincerely; but he isn't always entitled to be COM
plimented on his good judgment.
Probably there are some who believe water
should be developed at some other point than the
present city springs. For that argument, pardon
us, we haven't any patience at all. 1t frequently
has been published that the water at other places
is insufficient IN quantity and unfit for domestic
use.
Then there is the man who says voting the
bonds will give the city council too much money
to handle. The mere fact that the city council
won't handle the money--Wlll not have any oppor-
tunity to do So-Wont change his mind 1t you tell
hlm about it, because q mind bent on sensation
and suspicion is bent at such an obtuse angle that
proof that there is crookedness and couldn't be
If there was the inclination &c be crooked, won't
straighten it out.
Then there is the chap who said putting S15,-
600 into Improvement of the water collection SyS-
tenn is foolish for we already pay salaries for col
lection. Probably he is all by himself in that
unique conception of what it's all about. Anyhow,
he isn't taxpayer and can't vote 50 lets not let
that worry us.
anxious to get more water. That is true; they
are. They need it to keep their business running.
If they don't keep it running where does Flagstaff
get off? But, remember this these interests are
paying good price for the water and if any ad-
ditional taxation results from the further deve-
opment of water they will pay their share of th4
taxes.
There are always few who are against all inn
provement. They are getting fewer every year.
Their obstructive thoughts and acts are born deep
IN selfiShness and lack OF interest in their fellow
man, and they negligible in numbers, as they
ought to be. winch also is nothing TO worry
about.
We believe the majority-the vast majority
of Flagstaff people are alert to our needs, alive
TO our opportunities, jealous of its reputation and
intent on its growth and progress. But thinking
night with heart overflowing with good inten-
tions, will avail nothing unless we act accord
ingy.
so, get out, friends, and vote next Tuesday
Every vote IN the majority by which we carry
the bond issue means many dollars saved to
Flagstaff; for bond buyers increase the premiums
they pay for bonds by the majorities by which
the bonds are voted

SEEING AND TELLING

Away up in the northern part of the state there
is town named Flagstaff It is famous for its
scenic beauty, goat farms, Breens and Rabbits.
1t is also where the Coconino Sun shines
At the present writing Flagstaff sadly lacks
its mentor, Col F. S. Breen. He who makes the
Coconino Sun shine, is gallavatin' around taking
IN the sights of the United States before crossing
the pond to Europe
There are types of men who can see the most
gorgeous sights in the world and never thrill The
most splendid type of architecture the wonders
OF the ages impress them naught with their
grandeur. They are insensible to feeling and in
capable of telling, graphically, what they saw.
Not so with this man Breen He is not only
going to see the sights of wonder but is going to
be able to tell about them. In the last issue of
The Sun he puts color in an nunincidental trip
than some people could put in South Sea isle
trip.
We are waiting until he sees the Follies Bergefe
in Paris and writes about it.-Nogales Daily

REAL POINT AT ISSUE

Editor Bert Walters of the Reedsburg, Wiscon-
SIM Times, makes mighty good suggestion as
TO compulsory automobile insurance insurance
that means that "a man or woman who Injuries
someone because of his or her carlessness ought
TO hire somebody beforehand, to pay the damage
Compulsory automobile liability insurance is COM
ing. You can't stop it,
Editor Walters is probably right The only
thing the public must look for when such insur-
ance is established is that it be not loaded on the
state in the form Of state fund insurance cover
ing automobile liability. This is the program that
has been attempted by our socialistic friends in
number Of instances There are plenty of private
automobile casualty insurance companies whose
business it is to furnish automobile liability in
surance in compliance with any law passed by the
Nate requiring automobile drivers to provide this
coyerage in the interest Of public safety.
