Democracy is the very antithesis Of
autocracy, declares State Senator Mul-
ford Winsor of Yuma, in his third and
final letter to Governor Hunt relative
to the charges made against him by
the governor in letter to Judge Fred
G. Struckmeyer, code commissioner
The governor he charges IN the letter
is no more Of democrat at heart
than was Nero.
The third and last letter of the
president of the senate of the Seventh
legislature to the governor is as fol-
lows:
phoenix, July i, 1925
Geo. W. P. Hunt, Governor,
Phoenix, Arizona.
"Sir:
''In a letter addressed to you yes
terday | discussed, in my poor way,
the defamatory charges against me
and some other members Of the SEN
ate with which you saw fit to enliven
your communication TO Judge F. Q.
Struckmeyer, code commissioner.
wherein you announced that you would
not countersign my warrants for cleri-
cal services performed on the code re-
vision, and peremptorily demanded
that | be not employed. In conclud-
ing my discussion Of your charges, as
given by you to the public press,

character assassin.

that a character assassin--a malicious

tell you why;
''To begin with there is a personal,
an intimate reason, to which it is any
thing bat pleasure to allude, but the
disease demands it and the operation
must be performed. You have seen
fit to vent your vile SANDER upon a
friend-I repeat, friend-whose
service to you personally, over long
term of years, rendered without hone
or desire Of reward, you could never
repay if you wished to. You have
done this thing to friend whom you
know (excuse me while | bow to the
audience) to have been true, within
the limits of his ordinary ability, to
every public trust reposed in him, and
whose service brought no discredit
upon your administration. And If

WINSLOW PEOPLE SEEK
ROAD TO MORMON LAKE

The popularity of Mormon Lake, 20
miles south and east of Flagstaff has
inspired people of Winslow, who wish
to spend Sunday at this beauty spot,
to hunt out a shortcut from this
city. Via Flagstaff and the new high
way, it is about 85 miles from Wins
low, and by way of Long Valley and
the southern route to Montezuma
lodge on the banks of Mormon lake,
the distance is about ITO miles.
Mormon lake lies almost as close to
Winslow as it does to Flagstaff, ac-
cording to the mao, there are no sign
ed highways leading from here to the
lake, however, it is possible to take
one of two alternative roads and reach
the lake without SO long drive. One
lis by way of Canyon Diablo and An
derson Pass, over which route the dis
tance is about go miles, and the other
lis by road which leads from the Hay
Lake road, joining the Mormon lake
Flagstaff road between Mormon lake
and Lake Mary. By this route the
distance is between SO and so miles.
There are several shortcuts lead
ing into the timber country surround
| ing Mormon lake from the east, but
they are for the most part roads built
from one ranch to another and a
stranger in that part of the country
would no doubt have difficulty in
steering a direct course.
Several Winslow people have made
the short drives to Mormon lake the
last few weeks, and an endeavor will
be made to definitely locate the short
est and best route and sign it for the
benefit Of Navajo county people

Much interest was manifested last
Sunday in the two sermons reproduced
from 200 and 100 years ago. 1t was
observed the preachers of 1909 and
1881 spoke messages that were just
as suitable to today as when they
lived Times were just the same, sins
were just the same and the remedy
is just the same-God.
We are grateful to the visitors who
fill the church to capacity in the

Next Sunday night quotations from
people who have lived the past 1900
years as to Christ, will be read.
The ladies spent a very enjoyable
afternoon yesterday at the church in

A census of the Mems Bible class
last Sunday showed present: Baptist

Interest Intense in
Randolph Election

Interest is at fever pitch in the
annual town meeting in Randolph
today when it is predicted that the
entire voting strength of the town
will be drawn out in an attempt to
displace the present officers who have
served for the past year. Both parties
are equally confident that their can
diHates will be elected, and leaders
in both are equally sure that the de-
feat will not come to them without a
struggle. AS has been stated before,
the Australian ballot will do away
with much of the confusion and strife
of the election last year, but still
there Is opportunity for trouble.
The election will be held in Hecla
hall, and as this is very small, 1t
makes another problem confronting
the voters. The polls will be open
from A. M. to P. M. and after the
counting of votes. there are appro-
priations to be made and other BUSH
ness to come before the meeting so
it is probable that it will be an all
day and night affair.
Contrasted to the high feeling in
the town across the bridge is the
calm and peaceful attitude of our
other neighbor. Farmingdale, where
without doubt the recent town Off
Gals will be reelected, the usual APP
preparations made, and routine bust
ness transacted all without opposi-
ton to any extent.

Hallowell, Mar. 1928.
These are days of Parent
Teachers Associations" "Co-opera-
ton, asking school boards. super
visors and all that but somebody has
simply got to stand up and champion
the boys and girls from their side.
They are too bashful to say much for
themselves-perhaps are victims of
an absurd theory about being seen"
and mot to be heard. but we know
they want a little better attention
on the part of those responsible for
TIE mo school, signal, sidewalks, etc.
Some days ago. following damp
snow storm, the sidewalks were not
cleared and then for some days they
were in an unspeakable condition of
rcughness. Some of our children
walk miles to the Maria Clark
school every day and they suffered
hardship travelling those sidewalks
for days.
Friday morning brought drench.
ing rain storm and everybody knows
the terrible walking conditions
brought about then. The Kids"
waited in vain for the no school
signal. then trudged to school to
show their mettle-only to get soak
ed and then sent home by kindly
teachers, who no doubt got wet
themselves. A little better cooper
alton with the Kids" is needed.-G.

Morning Service at the Old South

At the Old South church Sunday
morning the service was of much in
terest. There were two anthems, one
including solo by Mrs. Nettie John
son. the other duet between w.
Frank Pierce and Mrs. Eleanor Fall
conf. Miss Audrey Snare was at the
organ. The general theme of the pa IS
tors address was what a Christian
should be. He defined Christian as
a sort OF middleman between the
world and the church and said that
the Christian should so live as to
show forth his faith to the world. Be-
lief is not enough, even if the right
belief; feeling is not enough. even If
the right feeling: the Christian life
demands right acts. The follower of
Christ should be a doer or the word
and not a hearer only. The address
was practical and helpful.

faith and had now gone to her rest
and reward. The bearers were George

Fire Department
Efficiently Handles
Randolph Fire

Much credit is due the Randolph
fire department for the efficient man.
ner in which the wardens and firemen
handled the fire which broke out in the
Lewis block on Water street early
Sunday morning. The blaze. which was
discovered about 100. was thought TO
have been caused by defective wiring.
The fire gained Roadway rapidly, the
blaze illuminating the sky for few
minutes until the department got at
work. The building was occupied by
the Randolph Meat Market, with C. w.
Fifleld proprietor. Baitler's lunch room.
while several families lived in the
apartments on the upper floor.
The storehouse for Cranes garage.
filed with automobiles, stands about
IL feet south OF the building. and
Cranes garage is Just below the store
house. SO it was only the most INTEL
ligent handling and the kindly assist
ance of those who first discovered the
fire that prevented the loss of all
three buildings. The meat market suf-
fered the most severe loss, although
the whole building was badly dana ged
by smoke and wataer.
