THE KIND YOU GOTTA KILL WHEN YOUNG

We are much pleased to note that our good
rend and expert machinist, Harry Clark, has
oeen made general manager of the Calumet &
Arizona Mining company, taking the place of Gen.
John CsGreenway. However we doubt if he will
make copper any cheaper-to us than heretofore.
Still, no one who knows him as we do could help
out wish him an abundance of good luck. He
started out in life with every advantage was
allowed to live until he got old enough to protect
himself and after that all he had to do was to
fight his way up from the Stag dump.
Since we had about all of his early advan-
sages and were not snuffed out before we got out
IF hand, we desire to congratulate him on having
isen to one of the highest places in the mining
world of the west.

KELLOGG WARNS OF PROPAGANDA

Following the memorable address of President
Coolidge at the state fair grounds in Minnesota,
Secretary of State Kellogg denounced in no un-
certain terms the red propaganda that is being
carried on in America and warned his hearers that
the constitution of the United States is being in
sidiously attacked by alien influences.
The secretary declared that the principles of
the constitution were being assaulted" by pro
pagandists who advocate the overthrow of the
government and the substitution of class tyran-
ny" and by "a considerable body of our citizens
who in the name of liberty and reform are i'm
patient of the constitutional restrictions and by
insidious approaches and attacks would destroy
these guarantees of personal liberty"
Il doubt if you are aware" he added 'of the
amount of destructive, revolutionary propaganda
which is being secretly distributed in this country
by foreign Influence.
If these people are not satisfied with our gov
ernment and our institutions, let them go where
they can find government which does satisfy
hem. This is no place for them. | say to you
and to all American citizens loving liberty and
Justice, hold fast to the teachings of your
'athers These principles of our constitution are
he great foundation stones which fabric of
government is builded.'

Bill Stuart, the ambitious cuss who runs the
Prescott Courier, has arranged with the Asso-
cated Press to sprawl his paper all out in the near
future. He is putting in leased wire and pro-
poses to make theC Courier an eght-page daily that
will cover the field like a winter snow on the
mountain. 1t is mighty expensive proposition
but we hope that Prescott people will bear him
out in his efforts to give them all the traffic will
stand. Despite Bills rather "onery" disposition
we wish him good luck There is no need to wish
him extra worry and labor, he'll get that in
plenty.

Anent the recent discussion of taking the state
highway department out of politics and the charge
that only about so per cent of the road money
goes into roads, the other so per cent being used
for political purpose we note recent amusing adj
mission of the fact in the Miami Silver Belt
a staunch Hunt paper. 1t said in effect: There
was bad gully or wash across road in a north
ern county precinct. Governor Hunt had been
over it a few times and had bridge put in and
would you believe it, the precinct went against
Hunt at the election which occurred short time
after, much to the governors disgust Such be-
ing the reward one gets in politics..

It is understood that the next federal appoint
ment that comes to this state will be that of
Thomas Maddox. This report comes as the re-
suit of recent private political conference called
by Senator Cameron who had sent for Mr. Mad
dock and a few ella county friends. Evidently
the old feud has been cleared away, as it should
be. Of course this appointment may be contin-
gent on the action of Governor Hunt, who was
said to have had representative present. and who
has not definitely decided which office he will be
a candidate for next year.
