IANGUID DEMOCRATS RFGIN TO AWAKEN

Ii is no secret that the state or the Democratic party after the Coolidge landslide was at the low es ebb in is history The descent into the pit, indeed, began before the landslide put the finishing touches upon the desperate nature of the party's existence; the blow that really stunned the party into q comatose condition was struck during the Smith-McAdoo-Ku kluX Kan rough and tumble exhibition in Madison Square Garden.
 Since that time the Democrats in Congress have been at marked disadvantage, merely having an op- portunity to snarl once in q while and occasionally. when they were not voting with the administration, hooking up with the Republican Insurgents.
 Things now are perking up con- siderably, and Democrats in Con- gress - particularly the senators, are taking to smiles and grins. This, of course, is caused by the outlook this fall, when notable congressional elections are to take place, with no Coolidge landslide business to affect the result.
 With the increased smiling comes increased hope. The party may not be dead after all; perhaps it was merely playing 'possum. This is proven by the number of presidcn- tial asptrants among the Demo- crats who have been mentioned as likely runners in 1928. Had the party continued dead there would not have been many willing 10 be mentioned in connection with the corpse. The fact that a small troupe of political actors are willing to crave the presidential limclight at least throws light upon the extent of the bull drive in the Democratic stock exchange.
 We now have with Us the follow ing Democratic presidential would he candidates: Governor Ritchie of Maryland; Senators Walsh of Mon. tana, Robinson of Arkansas, Pat Harrison of Mississippi; the in. cvitablo McAdoo; the prepondcrat- ] ing Governor Smith Of New York; i Carter Glass of West Virginia; ex- Secretary of Agriculture Meredith i o' Iowa; Governor Donahcy of Ohio; and former Senator Pomc- rene Of Ohio.
 The last two named are pmticu- lHrly interesting contributions to the list Governor Donahcy has carried Ohio - the mother of presidents" - twice, including the year Of inc Coolidge landslide. Anybody that can give promise of carrying Ohio during a presidential election is no intcrloper at Demo- cratic national convention, al- though Governor Cox failed to do it against Senator Harding. as was expected. Ohio is a tricky state 10 cope with.
 Former Senator Pomcrcne just now is being toutcd forward 10 en- ter the arena 10 defeat Senator . Willis in the fall. He may not care 10 do it. but if he should decide 10 run and actually lick Willis it would naturally put him in line for tho presidential nomination later. 1 No one understands this better than Pomercne himself.
 But the trouble with Ohio is that . the Republicans also can nominate 8 candidate from that pivotal state; they have done it repeatedly. IBut Mr Coolidge is not from Ohio, and if the Republicans insist on l lrunumg him for a third term the

ETHICS OF THE CLOTH AND
BUILDING ROTARY TOPICS

With Art Riordan as master of
ceremonies, the Rotary meeting
Tuesday was interesting and lively
Rev. Fr. Ed Albouy spoke Of his
profession, asserting that to be Of
greatest service the practice of a
clergyman should be in line with the
fifth code of Rotsry-''To use my
best efforts to elevate the standards
of the vocation in which | am en-
gagged, and SO to conduct my affairs
that others in my vocation may find
it wise, profitable and conducive to
happiness to emulate my example. =
FIR. Albouy said of the two great
needs Of humanity, education and mo-
rality, the latter is the greater. He
referred laughingly to some Of the
other professions-law who get
money under false pretenses, bankers
who get the money and sometimes
keep it, doctors who hasten the meet
ing with st. Peter, and dentists who
pull the we'll tooth and chen charge
for it.
It is essential il he is to fulfill his
mission that the clergyman not only
love those who believe as he does,
but all others as well, FIR. Albouy
asserted.
Clark Granting, superintendent Of
construction of the new hotel, spoke
of the vast improvements constantly
being made in building methods and
materials and the tremendous strides
in hotel building end management.
A few years ago the 300-room Stat
Ter hotel in Buffalo was wonder.
Then came the Pennsylvania hotel in
New York, managed by Statler, with
2,200 rooms, each with bath. And
now is projected a hotel in Chicago
with more than 5000 rooms. For
years the 10-story Woolworth build
ing has been the highest. Now is
projected an 80-story office building
in Detroit.

VAN DYKES ATTACKS ON
CARL HAYDEN
(Winslow MaiD

Unless we are mistaken we, believe
that Cleve w. Van Dykes unwarrant-
ed attacks on Carl Hayden, which he
is carrying on daily through his Mi
ami Silver Belt, will do Hayden more
good than harm.
Van Dyke, although processing to
be democrat and at present serving
on the university board of regents
under democratic administration is,
for reasons best known to himself an
ardent supporter of Ralph Cameron,
republican senator from Arizona, who
is seeking reelection on copper tar
iff platform.
OF course, everyone well knows
that Van Dyke made his millions in
copper mines and he is at present
one of the owners of d profitable
copper mine in the Miami district
A copper tariff would serve to make
him a few more millions if only such
a bill as he and Hoval Smith propose
to have Cameron introduce in the
senate, providing Cameron is reflect
ed, should pass. That all of the bunk
that Cameron has been propounding
about q copper tariff emanates from
Van Dyke and Smith, everyone well
knows. Cameron himself doesn't
know any more about copper or a
copper tariff, or economic conditions
concerning the copper industry than
any other average layman.
But Van Dyke and Smith do. They
have both made millionaires out Of
themselves out of copper. 1t is ma
tural they should want some tariff
protection so that their earnings
would be swelled. All their propa-
ganda about raising miners wages

BUS SAYS
FLAGSTAFF is ALIVE

A recent letter received by the
Flagstaff Chamber. of Commerce
from Holloway, Inc, bus line which
operates from coast to coast through
Flagstaff expressed great interest
in Flagstaff. The letter in part said:
"We appreciate your attention, and
assure you that we will continue to
include Flagstaff in our itinerary,
as it is, in our estimation, one Of the
livest little towns in the United
States"
Such expressions as this are of
great value in our endeavor to really
put Flagstaff on the map. The yell
loway bus line is recognized all over
the country, as being one Of the fast
est, most enjoyable motor lines in
operation and it is a decided benefit
to Flagstaff to have it daily passing
through.
