There is one subject upon which
this paper is willing to back the
Judgment of our esteemed cOntem+
porary, the Coconino Sun. When the
editor of the Sun lays down the Re-
publican doctrine in Arizona it is the
simon pure article. In brief, the Sun:
says Hi Johnson is a low lifer, a bunco
artist, sham and a fraud. If the
postal laws did not forbid. the Suns
language would no doubt be stronger.
The Sun need have no fear. Hiram
Johnson of California will never be
president of the United States. His
betrayal of Justice Hughes in the
presidential campaign of 1912 was an
exhibition of his own egotism to the
nth power His absence from the SEN
ate on the vote to unseat Newberry of
Michigan, presented him in the light
OF a political coward Hi Johnson is
the best living example of the f'pea-
nut politician" in America today

BANKERS IN PRISON, .
PREACHERS In HADES

Whether there is a greater percent
age of Arizona Bankers in state prison
than there are preachers in the lower
region. one can not tell to certainty.
The bankers already behind the bars
constitute about two per cent of the
convicts, while several more are un-
der indictment.
The Fifth Arizona legislature passed
a fool law making it crime equal to
.lese mapesty to say anything about
shaky bank. But grand juries have
indicted a lot of crooked bankers, and
some men are trembling that as Off
cials of state or county traffiled with
the weakened bankers.
- State, county-and city money galore
has gone from the people. 1t was
absorbed and squandered. by specula-
tive bankers, scores of whom are out
side the prison at present.
Arizona has some very good bank
ers. Thesesamen guard trust money
sacredly and hold respect of the com
munity. But no man is lower than
the one who steals the savings OF
industrious people. Messenger

GOVERNMENT DECLARES
NAVIGATION CLOSED

Some months ago the State Miner,
in opposing the Colorado compact,
called attention to the fact that RI
parian owners had right to and were
diverting water from any stream for
irrigation of the land they owned trib-
utary to it-except in cases where said
streams were navigable. Copies were
sent to Washington to the federal
power commission. Now comes an
official order closing navigation on
the Colorado and the United States
customs office, for so years at Yuma,
has been moved to Nogales.
SteambOating on the lower Color
ado river ceased on construction of
the dam that diverts the flow into the
enormous Imperial Valley canal at a
point about 20 miles downstream from
Yuma Below this dam, for much of
the year. the river channel is now dry,
though the Colorado ranks as one of
the four greatest rivers of the Union,
and in times of flood carries an enor-
.mous volume of water fed by the
melting SHOWS of the Rocky noun

In older European and Asiatic ma
tions, the head of the church was
linked with the king. emperor, sultan
Car, etc. In republics, democracies,
the idea is to entirely separate
church and state. Religious freedom,
so to speak, was the foundation of
the United States. How is the United
States government going to link itself
with a league of nations, where no re-
ligious freedom is enjoyed? AS time
passes the league dies, and United
States senators are ridiculing the Box
plan as league hoax. Whatever it
may have been, the Arizona State
Miner refused the Box releases and
wouldn't fall for it's ''free stuff"

similar crimes to the one in Globe,

worse than murdered young lady,
