Many-Sided Mule

Those who are supporters of the mule
say, in comparison with the horse, he
lives longer, endures more work and
hardship, requires less attention and
feed. and is less liable to digestive dis
orders, lameness and disease. The diff
ficuity is to know how to handle the
mule because of the fact of a combina
ton of stubbOrnness and willingness,
temper and sullenness, slyness and DO
cility, faithfulness and waywardness.
The mule must be understood, and
gently but firmly persuaded to do
things out of the ordinary.

"Pokey" Moore is an engineer.
Though he was slow, there was bur-
led deep in his makeup calm, de-
liberate manner, and an irrepressible
bit of mischief. Pokey discovered,
while at the board in analytics. one
day, that about nose high on q black
board near the door there protruded
a small nail, half an inch long and in
visible at a distance of three or four
feet. Our analytics prof was an old
gentleman who had an intense dislike
for mischief Of any kind, so you can
readily see what disturbing conse-
quences took place when Pokey dis
covered a use for his nail.
1t happened at Saturday morning
class. That afternoon we were to
play Centre, and everyone was nerv-
Gus and excited. Pokey came to class
several minutes late. All of the hooks
on the coatrack were filled. Without
a moments hesitation he turned to
the blackboard, picked up piece of
chalk, slowly and deliberately drew
a neat coat hook with its point ter
minating at the place where the in
visible nail protruded and hung his
coat upon it.

QUICKER ELECTION RETURNS
albuquerque JournaD

Arizona newspaper men a v e
framed bill for presentation to the
forthcoming session of the legislature
designed to insure speedier election
returns in Arizona. Some similar
measure is needed in New Mexico
which is afflicted with the same
trouble, if not worse, than Arizona.
The chief provision of the measure
requires that election officials must
post the result of the count OF votes
at the polling place, where the returns
are open for inspection of the news
paper reporters, correspondents and
public. The matter Of collecting the
returns and compiling them will be
up to the enterprise of the newspaper
men themselves.
The Arizona bill has been indorsed
by the Arizona Press association, Ari-
zona Publishers association and the
state association of the Associated
Press and a committee has been
named to see that the measure is
passed by the legislature.
The bill is not long and is quoted
in full as follows:
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-03

PART OF OUR UNIQUITY
prescott Journal Miner)

While scientists debate the origin
of the Meteor Crater, good usage in
northern Arizona dictates that every
one recommend the place as one of
the major attractions of a scenic par
adise that has many features without
parallel in the world. Too little at
tention has been given to the crater
as a spot for people to go and enjoy
something they can't enjoy any place
else. D
Both the recent contributors to the
discussion OF origins have discouraged
attempts to make money by finding
the supposed chunk of nickel-dia-
mond-platinum impregnated meteor
ic iron. There is, says one of the
debators, no such q fragment and
never was; the other argues that
there was such a fragment but no
longer, since it blew up with a loud
and disturbing bang, fortunately be-
fore any of US lived here to be scared
into a jeeminy fit.
We believe that more meteor has
been picked up at this place than all
the rest of the world put together,
and that it is the only sure evidence
on the crust of the well known world
where meteor of any size struck.
We believe also that the Grand Can
yon is the only grand canyon on the
globe and that the Painted Desert has
no fellow among minor and less dec
orative deserts. We believe that the
scientific world admits there is no
larger belt Of pine trees on earth than
that which covers central northern
Arizona. We have faith in the Oak
Greek canyon as natural spectacle
without peer. And in San Fran
cisco Peaks with their road creeping
up the slope and their highest obser-
vatory on earth, we believe this sec
tion has volcano whose dignity is
not marred by frequent or even oc-
casional spells Of bad temper.
1t seems a good time to call wide
spread attention to northern Arizona
as a place to see things not seen any
where else.

NEGLECTED VOTERS (?)

The following figures and comment by Carl c.
Magee in the State Tribune, tell the story of how
and why the democrats lost the recent election.
The loss of 354 democratic votes in this county
is easy to understandable voters were allowed
to stay at home instead of being brought to the
polls as they have a right to expect-Gallup
Independent.
"The voters were allowed to remain at home
instead of being brought to the polls they had
a right to expect
The same condition appeals to us in Arizona.
God knows we want to vote, but why should
we be left at home, without being brought to the
polls to vote?
We American citizens should demand our
rights and have a law passed keeping the polls
open until all have voted, with appropriation
sufficient to provide conveyances, with food and
per diem for each voter. We voters are willing to
do our duty-if we are properly compensated
for it.

A PRISON SCANDAL
(Tucson Starr

While we are talking Of grand jur-
les in Pima and Yuma counties and
general election recount, it might
state to probe deeply into the strange
case of one Startzman, a prisoner in
the state prison in Florence.
Startzman's term, good behavior
allowed, was up in September, but
he was still a prisoner in November.
Prison authorities explained that he
had lost his good time because he had
stolen records and copies Of records
and had sent them to people who had
no official connection with the state
government. His attorney did not
deny the charge. but said the papers
could not have been used against the
state, only against the Hunt admins
tration. The attorney further al
legged that Startzman was kept in
communicate until the day after the
election.
The whole thing has such a sinister
sound that everyone connected with
the prison or the Hunt and Clark
campaigns for the governorship
should be placed on the grill. II prls--
oners are kept incommunicado until
after the election" the state should
know of it. If the republican ma
chine has a way of getting prison
records through employment Of con-
yicts to steal or copy them, the state
should know it. IF the convict in cues
ton and his attorney are not telling
the truth, the people should know 1t.
The prison probably cannot be kept
out of politics, but the prisoners can.
The story as told in court at Phoenix
yesterday, when Judge Phelps ordered
the prisoner released, is damaging to
the administration, to the republican
machine and to the prison. 1t should
not be allowed to stand unexplained.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
miami Bulletin)

A weekly magazine recently con-
tanned an article about an old farm
house that stands in certain New
Hampshire town. The house was
built shortly after the Revolution; il
| is of brick, solid and substantial now
as the day it was built. 1t has fire
places big enough to take whole logs
It's ceilings are high, its rooms spa.
cious. Quaint old bits of pewter
tableware, old brass candlesticks, and
so forth, are found on its shelves.
The writer of that article lamented
the passing of the old days. He re-
marked that life must have been bet
ter, somehow, in those days; that liv-
ing in such a house must have had
it all over living in modern apart
ment or an up-to-date bungalow.
Perhaps he's right. There is q
charm, in retrospect, about the OLD
Colonial days that seems to be lack
ing from present day life.
But consider a moment. We're the
people who built that house, and
their neighbors, really happier than
we are now? Did life really have
more meaning, more enjoyment, fo1
them than it does for us?
That old house is charming, to be
sure. But it didn't have any window
screens, and in summer time you had
to roast or have flies everywhere. II
had no furnace, and in the winter
those marvellous fireplaces made
some of the rooms far too hot and
left others far too cold. Those brass
candlesticks are nice, Of course; but
the candles really didn't give much
light, and trying to read anything in
the evening was terribly hard on the
eyes.
Then, too, there wasn't any plumb
ing in the old farmhouse. If you
wanted hot water you heated some
at the fireplace. And the lady Of the
house, by the way, used to get very
lame back Juggling wood around the
house.
Running e. kitchen, in fact, was a
real job. 1t made the Colonial wom-
an old at 35. The kitchen was always
far too hot. Cooking things at the
fireplace wasn't quite as easy as
GODhAtKE ttitEiSo ON&L q lAAO0N1t s.
range.
TO the majority Of people in those
old farmhouses, the county line was
the end Of the world. Most of them
lived and died without ever getting
10 miles away from the place where
they were born. Roads weren't very
good, you know, and there was only
the horse and buggy to depend on
Besides, nearly everybody was work
ing too hard and too long to have
any time for trips"
If someone got sick in the night
you didn't telephone the doctor. YOU
hitched up the horse and drove fol
him, and you were lucky if it wasn't
a five or ten-mile drive, too. Even
when you got him, there was little he
could do. The doctor OF 1890 COM
