CONCERNING ESPECIAL" statesmen

Every summer, especially in resort districts a
horde of speciality men are earning their way as
they spend their vacations, by dipping into the
advertising game for while. These men have
all sorts of schemes for promoting business for
publishers in small cities. Fancy menus for ho-
tells and restaurants, road guides and maps as
well as dozens of other printed propositions are
among the things they turn over to the printers
to print and deliver after they get their profits.
Most of these fellows are high pressure men.
They make big promises because they will
never return again. but when they promise and
cannot deliver, the printer is left holding the
sack. The best way to combat this fellow is to
give your customers such service that they will
consult you on every printing need. Try and an
alyze their needs help them in laying out their
printing, and endeavor to give them distinctive
work. Then, impress them with the fact that if
high powered printing salesman comes to town,
they will pay dearly for any little service that he
may give to them. Above all things keep away
from speciality statesmen yourself. BY hooking up
with them you educating the merchants of
your town to do business with pedders and at
the same time are lessening the confidence that
the people of your town should have in the ability
of your employees to give them proper service

FRONTIER FLAGSTAFF

The old west is going.
Although only fourteen years away from terri
torial days, Arizona is stepping rapidly into a
modern stride.
Since statehood, the population has almost dou-
bled.
And now another town is taking upon itself the
name of city" On September g. Flagstaff will
no longer be town.
Twenty-six years ago water cost dollar a bar
rel in Flagstaff; now turn of the faucet brings
the best drinking water in Arizona then wooden
side walks and dusty streets greeted the trans
continental traveller; a new highway climbs
more than II 600 feet up the rugged sides of San
Francisco peak while in the Hcfty'' of Flagstaff
pavements are more common than dust.
But with all it's moderniZation, Flagstaff is one
Of the few frontier towns--SVe mean cities
Of the state Within motoring distance (not taxi
distance) are some of the greatest scenic spots
in the state: 80 miles north is the Grand Canyon
200 miles northeast is the Rainbow Natural
Bridge whose span of red sandstone rises more
than 800 feet between canyon walls; east of Flag
staff is the painted desert and petrified forest
east, also are the Hopi villages where the snake
dance will be held this week end; south of Flag
staff is heavily wooded pine country with va
riety of scenery and points of interest.
Flagstaff is frontier "city" still, because from
the north and east and south come multitude of
men who are pioneering yet in country where
roads are as important rivers were to the from
tiersn1an of the niddlewest. Go north to Flag
staff watch it's life for few days, and you will
understand why it is an embryo city that is dis
tinctly frontier in spirit.
Perhaps when Flagstaff's new hotel is built,
and when tourist America really discovers Flag
staff her frontier charm may be loSt-We hope
not. In the meantime we are glad to see Flag
staff prosper as a city.-Tucson Star.

WANTS 7-PASSENGER BATH
TUB
Miami Bulletin)

Some statisticians have no regard
whatever for our national pride. One
of these record d-thumbers, imbued
with nothing more than professional
interest, has come forward with the
statement that there are more auto
mobiles in the United States than
there are bath tubs.
Foreigners, irked by our self be
slowed title of "the cleanest nation
on earth," smirk and acclaim the
statistician with cries Of "Atta boy!"
American worshipers of the bath tow
el in whose very veins runs liquid
soap, cry "shame."
The dreadful part of it is that we
lust about had the world fooled. Why,
since the Earl Carroll case, they be-
lieved over in Europe that we had
bath tubs even on our stages and IN
our night clubs.
One person in every six owns an
automobile. Every automobile can,
or often does, carry six people. So
we can boast that we now are thor
oughly motorized.
One person in every seven owns
porcelain tank which holds only one.
AS a nation, we evidently are not
very thoroughly bathed.
Won't someone save our national
pride by inventing a seven-passenger
bath tub?

JOIN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Chamber of Commerce "high life" commit
tee has started out on a campaign to raise the
membership of that organization to at least $50
members. The present organization under the
leadership of President P. ]. Moran, A. ]. Mackey
vice president and Miss Margaret Stewart, secre-
tary has made wonderful progress in putting the
advantages of our city and surrounding country
The work of making the automobile run to the
San Francisco Peaks last Sunday a statewide
success was largely due to the efforts of Miss
Stewart who secured page of publicity in the
Los Angeles Times. This is only one of the many
forward movements going on which can be cred
tied to the united efforts of the Flagstaff Cham
ber of Commerce. 1t is the hope of the members
to build Flagstaff on solid business foundation
avoiding boom methods which usually react
against the best good of the community.
While the membership campaigners want and
should have the whole-hearted support of the
business men, there are many others who should
join in the good work.
The Chamber of Commerce is a clearing house
for every phase of our community life conse-
quently is not merely an organization of business
men solely interested in their own business af-
fairs Do your bit and join.

DENYING THE TRUTH AND ADMITTING
THE FACT?

We can't help but feel two good newspaper
boys have gone wrong when they believe they can
publish Hunt Cameron Maddox Van Dyke
newspaper and get away with it. Read their
statement and guess for yourself:
Harsh words have been directed against this
editorial baby even before it was born in the adj
vertising of E. E. Ellinwood. 1t is charged that
a Hunt-C Cameron alliance is financing the pubi-
cation and that the paper will be but political
sheet This is not true. From Governor Hunt
the publication has received an advertising order
which totals less than the cost of space occupied
by one issue of the Ellinwood News in either
Phoenix daily newspaper. From the Cameron
publicity committee it has received the advertise
ment which appears in this issue. And that is all.
But, if Mr.. Hunt, Mr.. Cameron, Mr.. Hayden, Mr..
Einwood or Jimmy Douglas desire to become fl
nancial angels to the paper, its address will be
found at the head of this page and cordial well
come awaits with the only provision that the ed-
toria views of the paper are not for sale.-Ari-

difficult for one to separate the "angels'' from
the devils"

FACTS, STRAIGHT OR TWISTED?
Tucson Starr

There is, perhaps, no issue before
than that of the Colorado river.

George Wylie Paul Hunt.

Harry Chandler of the Los Angeles
Times in order that Boulder Canyon
dam might be built If the governor
is taken at his word, he shows an
amazing amount Of ignorance about
the Santa Fe pact and the forces

the issues in order to play upon the
credulity and ignorance of the people.
The Santa Fe compact has nothing
whatever to do with dams or power

prove this. The compact deals with
the diversion OF waters, and because
it does not allocate Arizona her fair

EDITOR KELLY FITTINGLY EXPRESSES
SYMPATHY OF THE STATE PRESS

The members of the Arizona Fourth Estate,
will deeply synapathize with j. w. Spear, manag-
ing editor of the Arizona Republican, because of
the death of his companion and helpmate, Mrs.
Spear, who passed away at the Spear family home
in Phoenix July 29th. Mr.. Spear has been prom
inent in newspaper work since his arrival in Ari-
zona in the year 1892 and to his ability and eff
forts must go much of the credit for the progress
of the Arizona Republican, now recognized as one
of the best newspapers in this state Mrs. Spear
became the wife of Editor Spear in 1891 at St.
Joe, Missouri and accompanied her husband to
Arizona the following year since which she has
been faithful to all life's duties, as mother and
wife. Her death brought sorrow to the capitol
city, where reside the intimate friends of the de-
ceased and from every newspaper office in Ari-
zona will come to Editor Spear sincere sympathy
because of this great sorrow and loss which has
overtaken him.-Copper Era.

WILL IRWIN'S PATRIOTIC
SERVICE
(Dunbar's Weekly

The citizens of Arizona have heard
considerable about Will Irwin, famous
writer, during the past several
months and viii probably hear much
more concerning him and his writings
during the present campaign. Under
the circumstances it is we'll to 1e-
member that VIII Irwin is the writer
who first unearthed the facts and
wrote the story that sent William H.
Forbes, head of the United States
Veterans Bureau, to the penitentiary.
1t is also well to remember that when
Irwin's story of Forbes graft and
thievery at the expense of the dis
abled and sick soldiers Of the World
war, who had offered their lives and
given their health in the armed SER
vice of their country, first appeared
in the Los Angeles Times, Bridge
port, Connecticut Post, and other
newspapers of the nation, the cry
went up from the friends of the head
of the Veterans Bureau that it was
an absurd, silly story intended to
harm the national administration.
Irwin's story was investigated and
found absolutely true AS the inves-
tigation progressed it was ascertain
ed that conditions were far worse
than he had pictured them. Forbes
was arrested, tried, found guilty, SEN
fenced to the penitentiary and is now
serving in prison for one of the
blacklist, meanest crimes ever COM
mitted against the people of the
United States, all as a result of the
investigation and story of Will Irwin.
This noted writer did service to
America in that work.

GOODBYE MA, GOODBYE PA"
(Bisbee Review

1t might have been too much "Pa"
or too much "Ma" that contributed to
the overwhelming defeat of Texas
first woman governor, but whatever
the reason it is very apparent that
the voters of the largest state in
the union were not satisfied with the
last two years of state adnlinistra-
ton. 1t has been two years of con-
stant turmoil with both of the Fer
gusons the center of vicious attacks
by political enemies. "Pa" Ferguson,
who was said to be the real governor
of Texas, was accused of almost
everything but murder and arson, and
his wife, affectionately or otherwise
known as MA, was charged with
wholesale pardoning of criminals.
''Ma" admitted the charge against
her but upheld her actions; "Pa" de-
MED all the allegations and defied his
accusers to prove it. Now that the
most persistent accuser of the Fergu-
son family has virtually been elected
governor there appears to be good
chance to find out whether "Pa" and
"Ma' did everything they were charg-
ed with, for it is certain that Dan
Moody will order an investigation as
his first official act after taking the
oath.
The failure of Mrs. Ferguson, if it
can be termed that, does not reflect
on the ability of her sex. Mrs. Mel
lie Ross has made good in Wyoming
and probably will be reelected if she
runs again. An Ohio woman has
been chief justice of the state su-
preme court for several years and
now has a good chance to be the first

REMARKS OF THE GANG

es working for the Boulder Canyon
dam are the municipal ownership adj
vocates, Of California, led by Los
Angeles, Hiram johnson and Phil
Swing. How can the governor recon-
cile Hiram johnson and the power
trust working for the same thing?
Now as to Harry Chandler and his
Mevican owned land. Harry Chandler
has fought all his might AGAINST
the Boulder Canyon dam, and the
people of California heap criticism
upon him for so doing. He has thus
worked for Arizona's interests, not
because he loved Arizona, but because
he is at loggerheads with the munich
pal and state ownership crowd of
California. They are the ones who
want the Boulder Canyon dam.
Governor Hunt knows this is so,
but he thinks by pulling a shadow
bout with the power trust and Harry
Chandler and wrapping the flag of
patriotism about himself, he will
stand in the eyes of the people of
Arizona as their savior.
But the people of Arizona will not
be fooled. They are fast learning
that George Wylie Paul Hunts de-
sire to save the state is merely re-
newal of an Unsuitable lust for power
and last vain effort to maintain a
machine financed by the taxpayers
money in order that he might con-
tinue to rule.
Honestly, isn't it time for a
change?
Has Arizona come to the point
where only one man is fit to be gov
ernor?

WELL, WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

Votes in Pennsylvania go at So per vote.
Votes in Ilnois-figures not yet complete.
Votes, on the average, cast by only about half
the voters.
What's the matter?
Don't the voters care?
Isn't there any reason to care?
Doesn't it make any difference who goes to the
state capitols? Or to congress? Is it so mma-
terial?
And if so, why is it?
Can it ever be any better if the voters don't
make it better?
These are surely questions for the American
people to answer if this democracy is going to be
more than the plaything of the powerful and rich
In the average trade union election there is a
better vote cast than in the average political cleo
ton. Trade unions frequently poll as high as
ninety per cent of their vote.
Why is thert more interest in trade union
election than in a.congressional election?

are women actively engaged in pol

not confined to the weaker sex. In
all probability "Ma' Ferguson would
