enough it wins.
The competitor of advertising is non-advertis-
ing.
Non advertising is a mighty destructive COM
pettor.
Silence, when something needs to be sold, is dis
astrous to business.
All honest advertising helps the craft it seeks
to exploit.
Thus advertising reflects advantages to itself.
1t becomes its own reward.
It becomes a matter of community interest.
In the field of advertising, all business is part
ner to its line of endeavor.

THANK you KINDLY FELLOWS

The editor of The Sun wishes to thank the
kindly fellows down state for the very high COM
pment in connecting our name with the repub-
ican nomination for the office of governor of
Arizona, but it is rather embarrassing to one who
has no political ambitions. 1t is nice to be thus
noticed by good sincere friends who have much
more confidence in you than you have yourself,
but as our old friend Grover Cleveland once said:
1T is condition, not theory that confronts us.
President Cleveland was elected because the peO-
pie said they wanted change. Arizona wants a
change and Arizona needs it to inspire new cour-
age in the fight that is coming for the rights she
should not be denied because of the faults of a
few who have unduly placed political interests
before the good Of the people as a whole. There
is enough evidence now in to show that the two
parties in Arizona are split into four quarters.
With this evidence plainly in view, we had hoped
that Mr.. Heard would see fit to carry on with
the constructive program he had outlined to the
people two years ago. 1t pleased men then and
we believe irrespective of politics, it would carry
While keenly appreciating the friendships which
now that more thought had been given it..
prompted the suggestion our hope and aim is for
a greater and more prosperous Arizona, conse-
quently we can not stand in the way to help clut-
ter up the situation. Arizona has never faced
a simular situation politically. Political parties
appear to be SO badly scrambled that the average
voter must guess as to just what part of the
political onllet he belongs to. We hope that the
people will realize the situation and give it their
honest attention. But to who is governor
does not amount to much if he will deliver the
goods, but in view of these facts it will not be

Here is another pretty sane view on the War
Debt settlement uttered by Senator William M.
Butler of Massachusetts who is also chairman of
the Republican National Committee:
'"The War Debt settlements now before the sem
ate are just and equitable, as proposed, and are
based upon the capacity of each country to pay.
IF they are not approved, what shall we do?
Abandon them, or secure them by force? That is
the question. We do not want the horrors of war.
These debts have great bearing, not only upon
us but upon generations to follow. We can be toll

MAKING ROOM FOR MORE

There is no doubt at this time as to the build
ing of the new community hotel. Property own
ers realize that it means much to the city. The
city must grow and expand if property values in
houses to hotel Then it grew and needed an
other, and another. 1t has been growing rapidly
in the last few years and needs another hotel.
1t is not question of competition but matter
of growth. If Flagstaff has no future and does
not grow why shouldn't people move out and let
it die? So far no one has been able to stop it's
growth. Why not put forth good, wholesome
effort to not only build new hotel, but help fill
all Of them? Let's make room and accommoda-
tions for all and advertise for more to come.

notice these errors or when they are
called to our attention, like other
newspapers, the errors are corrected.
To make a correction is a pleasure.
To do so is not necessarily assuming
an apologetic stand. There will be
misstatements as long as man has a

A newspaper is merely a reflection

In the old time "beer wars" in Chicago they
only used bung-starter, but since it has got to
be a popular national sport they are using late
model machine guns We believe that Chicago
would be about the proper place to send Wayne
Wheeler, the only man in the United States who
knows just how to prevent everything from fo-
menting, except trouble. When he gets through
with that job it would be well to turn the United

Citizens Of Shantung
Are Beset by Bandits

Pushed to extrenlities in defending
their homes and farms against the
villagers in Shantung have been
forced to make their own guns. and
some of them even to make hand
bombs, according to a report. The
weapons are of the crudest sort and
many of the villagers have been re-
ported injured by handmade bombs
which have exploded in their hands.
The news comes as a surprise here,
since Shantung has long been said
to be a province little infested with
rowing bands Of bandits. Due, how
ever, to the long continued warfare
IN the province, attention has been
turned from the bandit activities to
Chang Chung-chang and his armies.
