KEEPIN' US COOL WITH CAL

We hope Pres. Cal will forgive us for having
been too busy working over a seed catalogue the
past few weeks to telegraph him an invitation to
spend the summer with us in Flagstaff We hope
he will overlook this carelessness part, and
we hope this apology will make it unanimous as
to best locations in the u S. for him to spend the
summer and think the political situation over.
This place isn't like so many other places where
it's rather difficult to keep kool," Cal. You can
keep kool in Flagstaff without exerting your per-
sonality, which we consider great advantage,
since any leftover official appointments would
keep here. It's almost impossible to get anyone
to run for office in Flagstaff
Our office holders buck if they can't be turned
loose with only hackamOre, so you can see how
tender-bitted they are
While we are not certain whether Mrs. Jeffries
go years White Washed House-keeper) would APP
prove of it. we wish to advise you, personal-ike,
that our asparagus bed is promising well and
should provide for extra guests. But we regret
to report that our onion beds got too neighborly
with the garlic twin beds, same as with political
houSekeeperS at times, consequently we may have
to import few onions just to keep these vege-
tables far enough apart to distinguish their pecu-
liar virtues.
However, the air is wonderful here up at this
altitude, Cal, and the Grand Canyon is in Coco
nino county's back yard.
Really, you'd laugh Cal, at your troubles when
you took two-eyed wallup at Grand Canyon and
saw what trouble the earth had when that spasm
was Just young innocent creek. Don't get the
idear we want you to come to Flagstaff just be-
cause you are president of the United States.
"He, no, as jim Bailey used to say don't never
bother with president when you have pull with
a constitute"
It is our hope that Pres. Cal can come out and
see us folks. So long as he only brings Bruce Bar
ton along we can take care of both of them Of
course he can bring Mrs Coolidge too if he sees
fit, but this invitation is Withdrawn if he brings
secret service men and Wayne Wheeler In this
country over nine-tenths of us are "just folks. I"
Friendly folks to guests.
If anybody attempts to start anything why
our home folks sorter swing into the first line
trenches regardless of pension laws
We are not going to be disappointed because of
your Sec. Ev. Sanders writing us that Bruce Bar
ton can't come Accepting Pres. Gals refusal in
advance, we merely wish to say that this is great
country.
Few if any folks who demised here have ever
lived anywhere else since.
There are number of people now living here
whom have failed of being elected president of the
United States, but this we do not believe should
detract from those who have been.

If by any flight of imagination the
bill is signed, then all is we'll and
good; if not, then the legislature
ought to remain in session, that is,
not adjourn sine die, but recess until
about September /. BY recessing,
the legislature prevents the govern
or from calling a special session and
designating what bills he wishes
passed. Thus the legislature might
block all bills that might continue the
present administration Of the state
highway department, and by so doing,
the highway department would be
without funds after July 1, the en-
ployes receiving no pay after that
date.
The legislature has it within its
power to force the governors hand.
The governor has tried in every con-
ceivable way to nullify the work Of
the legislature. Now it is the turn of
the legislature to square its shoulders
to the fight and show the governor
that its duly elected representative
and senators, not machine governor,
is boss.
Don't give up the ship.

LOYALTY OF DOGS
douglas Dispatch)

Not since the late Senator Vest de-
livered his remarkable eulogy on a
dog, has the canine species received
greater tribute than from the mother
in Oregon, who, lost on the mountain
with her three children, managed to
keep one of them alive in blizzard
by the devotion of dog.
The intense cold froze the mothers
feet, so that amputation may be
necessary, froze two of the children to
death, yet the dog remained to act as
a wind break for the mother and babe
in arms.
That mother love would dictate the
mother sacrificing her life for her
child is understood, but nothing but
dog nature would impel dog to face
blizzard three days.
There may not have been so much
sarcasm meant in the, classical re-
mark: "The more / see of humans
the better like my dog" credited to
one of the leading prima donnas.
Loyalty is much priced trait
among humans, yet it can be said
without fear of contradiction that it
is more common in the dog family
than the, human family.
Much as it may hurt the human to
admit it, yet admit it he must, that
the lowly cur ever has more devotion
and loyalty in his nature than has the
ordinary genus homo.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

There is every reason for the legis-
lature to investigate departments of
state government and none whatever
for them to investigate political ac-
tivities of candidates in primary
elections.
If candidates in primary or gem
eral elections practice corruption or
bribery the matter should be taken
to the county attorney of one or all
of the counties; or should it be pre-
ferred, the judge of the superior
court should be petitioned to call a
grand jury to make such investiga-
ton. There is some law to cover
such cases, and more drastic ones
were enacted by the present legisla-
ture only to be killed by Executive
veto.
On. the other hand, it is the busi-
ness of the legislature to inquire into
the conduct of state departments.
Those departments are spending the
peoples money. They are presumed
to function under laws made by the
legislature. If they are ignoring the
law, if they are wasteful, extravagant
or inefficient it is the business of the
legislature to ascertain such facts and
the only manner in which such facts
can be ascertained is by an investi-
cation.
Anyway, why do legislative inves-
LEGATIONS cause the administration
and its admirers so much worry :?
Ordinarily those whose actions and
conduct vii | bear investigation do
not object to being investigated. So
why all the fuss and fury?

THE HUMAN SIDE
OF LIFE
Excessive Humility
**************s = = =

The bishop of London, at dinner
in New York, was pointing out the
change that had come over the people
of Great Britain.
"The humility of the poor" he
said, used to be excessive. re-
member story told by Lord Ernest
Hamilton.
Lord Ernest's father, the late duke
of Abercorn, was a nobleman of the
old school, and he never llnbent
toward the people in Ireland among
whom he passed the last years of
his life, yet none the less he was
respected, even revered, everywhere.
'Two Irish farmers were talking
one day about the present duke,
Lord Ernest's brother.
"The dukes nice, pleasant af-
fable kind of gentleman" said the
first farmer.
He is that said the second, but
give me the old duke. Shure he'd
look at We as if We was the very dirt
under his feet "

ALL HE NEEDED WAS MORE
MONEY
(El Paso Heraldl

1t is quite likely that by this time
the parents of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Jr., wish that they had been a little
more liberal in the financing of his
newspaper endeavors or that they had
been able to keep him out of that line
of work.
While he was establishing his tab
loids and piling up his $3,000,000 or
so of debts, he at least did not turn his
typewriter to his own personal af-
fairs.
But, with family support for his
papers withdrawn and the tabloids
bankrupt, the scion of millions who
has no millions seeks to get some. To
make money he writes about what he
knows most people want to read-the
upbringing of the little rich boy.
1t is seldom that a youngster
brought up in such conditions is such
a realist as he has proved to be. His
frank recognition of the efforts of his
parents to get him into schools where
he could make contacts with the child
rem Of European royalty is unusual.
There will be those who criticize
young Vanderbilt for his attitude to-
wards his parents. But he has a per-
feet right to tell his own life story,
and to justify his own course, he is
within his rights in revealing the in
innate details of his up-bringing, and
the reasons therefor. One may criti-
cize his taste or lack Of it.
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt may be
neither a financial nor a newspaper
success but he seems to be struggling
manfully to find his place in the world
whereby he can justify his existence.

MAY ST. PATRICK PRESERVE US

While we very, very much dislike to contradict
our erudite friend, Editor Bill Spear of the Ari-
zOna Republican, must point out that he griev-
ously erred in the information he gave the janitor
in his conversation relative to the utter lack of
snakes in Ireland. Editor Bill says: "The incon-
trovertabe fact is that there are no snakes in
Ireland, though there are snakes everywhere else
in the habitable world"
We hereby wilfuly and with malice afore-
thought deny this statement as to the rest of the
inhabited world"
There are no snakes in the Hawaiian Islands.
The oldest inhabitant agrees that there never has
been so far back as history of the islands goes.
Evidently to make this condition permanent, there
is a Hawaiian law which prevents any one landing
them there even for exhibition purposes. If any
ly arrested for having indulged in too much
''okolahau' decOction which resembles in an ex-
treme degree our "moonshine."
Another peculiar feature of these islands is the
fact that thereis not sign of mineral found upon
them. No poison vegetation of any character has
ever been discovered there.
Rats infested the islands and the mongoose
was imported to exterminate them. He did, but
set up reign of his own worse than that of the
rat
Again there was survival of the fittest. The
beautiful birds Of the islands which in the early
days furnished Queen Lill and her ancestors with
feathers for their gorgeous royal apparel, now
kept sacred IN museum, are gone The miner
Bird, about the size of our robin, is cock o. the
walk and struts around like a policeman in his
dull drab coat and fights with the English SPAR
row. There are few if any other wild birds on the
islands
Aside from this, Bill is absolutely correct.

WHY NOT MAKE HIM AHKOUND
OF SWAT?
(Arizona Republican,

n
The proposal to elevate Governor
George w. p. Hunt to the vice-presi-
dency of the United States, will be
viewed by Arizonans from many Curl
Gus angles. No doubt, many who have
violently opposed him in the past will
wish him god-speed in the chase after
national honors, hopeful that in the
event of his success and the fortuitous
circumstance of the death of presi-
dent, he might succeed to the White
House, in which event it might be sup
posed that he would take his state
highway department with him as a
cabinet. Then, in that case, the tax
payers of Arizona would draw long,
deep breath Of relief.
But there are many irreverent Ari-
zonans who refuse to accept the Hunt
for President movement serious
ly. They regard Messrs. Tatum and
Whitney as brace of practical jokers
who merely designed to create rip
pie of mirth and distract our attention
from the tense situation involving the
governor and the legislature and
from our lengthening delinquent tax
list and other woes. It must be con-
ceded that hearty laugh will do all
of us good.
But we do not think these two gen.
ial conspirators have made the most
of their opportunity. Why did they
aim at such a low station as the vice.
presidency, for which the governor is
demonstratably inadequate? Having
failed to control the senate of the
eighth legislature of Arizona, he
would cut but poor figure as presid-
ing officer over the senate of the
United States.
Why did not Messrs. Tatum and
Whitney propose to boost the COVER
nor directly into the presidency? Or,
better still, why did they not seek to
nominate him for Akhound of Swat,
and then more of us, with ruder
sense of humor could have joined in
the hilarity.
Then also, the more serious minded
of US who may have failed to perceive
the fine point of the conspirators' joke
would have endorsed the governors 8
candidacy for the Akhoundship in the
belief that his election to it would re-
suit in the further removal of the state
highway department from our midst.
But, anyhow, those whW cannot see the
humor of this movement will favor
anything for a change and will vote
unanimously for it. The governor
ought to have solid delegation.

PIFFLE
(Dunbars Weekly

The Tucson Independent says, "It
is extremely queer to the majority
of electors in Arizona that the Eighth
Legislature is quite prone to inesti-
gate every department over which
Governor Hunt has control, but that
any attempt to investigate the actions
of any of his opponents is promptly
and efficiently squelched."
Such silly statements are con-
tanned in several Arizona newspapers.
Their only value is to demonstrates
how ridiculous some editors can make
themselves in their frantic efforts
to misrepresent the legislature and its
labors.

LET THE IGNORANT PAY THE FREIGHT

We doubt very much if any of the copper COM
panes of the state that contributed to the election
of Governor Hunt are very much worried over
what he will do in showdown. The real war is
between the common ordinary tax-paying voter
and the Hunt administration as political organi-
zation. We don't blame Governor Hunt, as a
politician desiring to remain in office for putting
it over on the politically ignorant and unsophisti-
Gated tax-paying voters who are susceptible TO
propaganda issued by his administration and paid
for by all the taxpayers of the state.
The people of the state elect some seventy odd
legislators to represent them in a composite sort
of get-together way.
IF the governor can control seven in the senate,
the people and their representatives are plumb
out of luck.
Let the ignorant pay the freight, and the rich
hire lawyers on q percentage basis of saving. Be
tween the upper and lower mill stones, the "aver-
age human voter is ground into political pulp.
Eventually, the poor average dub, who has no
relatives to keep employed under the administra-
ton, will find out how he is being lied to for
political effect and vote as he thinks instead Of
according to what he is told Parties and men are
not infallible bht they'll be dang sight less so
when the voters are less careless and have longer
memories.
Being all things to all men-for salary, is fast
winning thinking men to the idea of more service,
less bull and more concrete.
Why is it necessary for bureaus, departments
and commissions to have press agents and news
services all their own, paid from public funds?
