A STAB IN THE DARK
Stafford Guardian)

The first anonymous circular to
make its appearance in this cam
paign was mailed to members of the
American Legion just prior to their
convention held in Bisbee last week
IN an attempt to besmirch the war
record of Congressman Hayden of
Arizona. The same scurrilous mate
rial was published during Congress-
man Hayden's campaign in 1918,
was disproved and repudiated.
What the people of Arizona
thought it then may be judged from
the fact that Hayden won despite
this mess of old junk and that he
won by a vote of 26,805 to 1892.
And this was in republican year in

WHY NOT RESTRAIN CAMPAIGN LIARS?

We hope that out of the bitterness of the pres
ent political campaign in Arizona, with the lying
and the whispering" that is being indulged in,
there will come some early reform legislation in
which it will be defined as a crime to originate
or circulate any false statement regarding can
didate. Such law should provide for the sum
mary arrest and trial of the circulator, whether
the originator or not, in order that it might be
at once established whether he had spoken truly
or falsely. If the latter, the candidate against
whom the statement was uttered would be at
once vindicated. But if the statement were true,
it would have the greater force by reason of the
public establishment of the truth of it.-Repub-
hcan.

OUR POLITICAL FINANCIERS

The final chapter of Arizona's first money
loaning experience was concluded last week at
st. Johns when the lands under the Lyman dam
irrigation project were sold by the state at $45
per acre, or for total Of $289,395.00 The state
had loaned $629, ,672.66 not including state taxes
waived, on the lands, netting the tax payers a
loss of $340,2766. Wonder how much of loss
the taxpayers would have to stand if they let
the state attempt to build hundred million dol
lar dam? Figuring the Lyman dam rate Of
loss we should judge it would not cost taxpayers
over two hundred and fifty million to spend the
hundred million.

PROUD OF THEIR NEW HOTEL

Flagstaff citizens are very proud of their
splendid new tourist hotel now far along in con-
struction. The Coconino Sun of that city carries
regular bulletin service covering the progress
made each week in the building of the hostelry.
Good roads, the exploitation of an attractive
summer climate and of the natural scenic attrac-
tions, bringing such flock of visitors to the
Flagstaff country that big, fine hotel has be-
come pressing necessity for the community.
The new hotel is to be called ''The Monte
Vista" a pretty and appropriate name, nesting
as it does at the base of the states highest peak

OLD AGE

What is it that brings about old age? Is it
the passage of days and years? Not necessar-
lily. For we find old men at so and young men
at go. A man begins to grow old when he be-
gins to look backward instead of forward, when
he begins to review instead of to plan, when he
begins to recount what he has achieved instead
of seeking still to achieve, when he sees his
greatest task already DONE his best thoughts al
ready thought, his deepest feelings already felt,
his aspirations already realized. He is still a
young man if he retains the essence of youth
the power of looking forward Albuquerque

Columbia Speaks Plainly

New York, Nov. 12.-lR- Co., lumbia university today contributed to the Harvard Princeton break over athletics by an editorial in Its newspaper, The Spectator. which describes an issue of the Harvard Lampoon that assailed alleged drinking and loose morals at Princeton as ''tactless but honest"
 The editorial says what is sur prising is that the officials of the two institutions should let matters slide until such concrete expression of i'll feeling materlalizes. The Har- yard Lampoon was first in crystal lizing the undergraduate opinion. and now 1t must take large share of blame. This is the dis gusting feature of the whole af- fair. The Lampoon was tactless. 1t is true, but honest. The officials knew of the strong feeling a long time ago, but rather than call things off before actual war fare started, they preferred to wait for some open evidence of hostility.
 As a result. tto Lampoon, be- cause it said what the officials were afraid to say. has become known as publication run by irresponsi- ble students. Irresponsible. indeed! But responsible for serving as an excuse for breaking up the big three.
 The Spectator editorial reviews previous relations, and says of a recent threatened break the off, cials patched matters up, and the undergraduate went on like two little boys told by their parents to play with each other and stop fighting. They played, but one day | they forgot themselves long enough to thumb noses at each other. The neighbors were shocked. The par cnts had to apologize to every one who had seen the little boys. Har- yard has apologized for its action V The editorial expresses the hope that the break will be valuable in reducing over emphasis on foot ball.

OniniOn At Brown

Providence, R. l., Nov. 12 Fl- Belief that the athletic break be- tween Princeton and Harvard paves the way for the establishment of an eastern football conference is ex- pressed in an editorial published this morning In the Brown Daily Herald.
 Clinton c. White, chairman of the amphitheater campaign committee and president of the Brown club, interviewed on the subject, did not indorse the eastern conference idea but expressed approval of various groupings of eastern colleges in ath- letics. Frederick w. Marvel, di- rector of athletics at Brown, re- fused to comment on the Princeton Harvard rift.
 The editorial in the Herald fol- lows:
 There has been considerable talk among eastern sports writers and enthusiasts in favor of the forma- ton of an eastern conference. The recert break between Harvard and Princeton does away with the Big Three and thus clears the way for still more conference proposals.
 Quite frankly we see no obiec- ton to an eastern conference com posed of such colleges and univer- sites as Pennsylvania, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth. Harvard, Army. Prince ton, Navy, Columbia and Brown. It has been argued that such a confer cnce would break up old time-hon- ored rivalries, but we fail to see how this would be the result. The Army could still play the Navy every year as final / me. Harvard could still wind up it's season with Yale, Penn svlvania and Cornell. and Brown and Dartmouth could continue as old time rivals. In addition. a confer ence such as the one suggested would give each of the members three featura games with eastern rivals and still have plenty of room on the various schedules for at least one intersectional contest. It seems to us that such an arrangement could not fail to increase interest in in- tercollegiate football and also broad- en and strengthen friendly interco]- leriate relations.
 ''We do not necessarily propose that an extra conference can be fashioned on exactly the same lines as in the md-western Big Ten; but it does seem possible to arrange some sort of round robin affair that will give e h institution a chance
New Britain herald., 1926-11-12

to play at least one game every four or five years with all of it's rival eastern contemporaries We appre- cite the difficulties involved In any scheme which includes the service elevens, and it might be far better not to include the Army and the Navy in such an arrangement be- cause of tho necessity for differing ineligibility rules"
 MT. White. questioned as to ru- mor regarding Brown replacing Princeton as member of the Big Three. said:
 Brown has had a wonderful year, but to say that it would oust any oc- cupant of the triangle and subse- quently gain recognition as mem Der of new Big Three would be going too far. in my estimation. One year of football success cannot re- place a tradition of years standing, even though that tradition Is myth as far as athletic supremacy is con- cerned."
