POLA'S QUIET AFFAIR
(El Paso Herald)

Pola Negri went in for "just quiet
wedding" She got it--with an elab-
orate bridal gown worn to city hall
marriage. She got it-with 200 re-
porters and 300 cameramen, to make
sure that all the news associations and
all the newspapers and all the film
news services could set the quiet facts
forth in every newspaper and on every
motion picture house screen in the
civilized world.
Except for this, and reception and
garden party, an orchestra playing
and champagne flowing as if it came
from spring and did not have to be
paid for, practically nothing happened.
We are indebted to Pola for having
such a quiet little affair at Serain-
court, France. If it had not been so
quiet, Ell Pasoans probably would have
had bad nights sleep and would
have wondered what all the racket
was about.
But it has been remarked before
how the stars of moviedom sb
tentation and display; how they dread
publicity; how reticent, how almost
overwhelmed with embarrassment
they are when they find themselves
the focal point of public attention.

HIRE A LAWYER AND PLEAD GUILTY

Well tell the cock-eyed world it is most cheer.
full news when you get letter like this from the
income tax collector:
Your income tax return for the calendar
year 1926 has been examined and is consid-
cred to be correct as submitted
"The case will be regarded as closed unless
information other than that shown on your
return should subsequently be discovered, in
which event the commissioner reserves the
right to reopen the case in accordance with
the provisions of existing laws
It shows conclusivey that the collector has
great confidence in the correctness of your state
ment and is glad to get your check, BUT, like the
surgeon who has left sponge or some Of his
equipment in you, he reserves the right to unbut-
ton reopen the at any subsequent time after
the wound or your conscience has ceased to pain
you. In other words, he wants you to understand
that he knows you are honest but don't want you
to get too gay the first five years after you made
the report and until he has had an opportunity to
throw the full light of all government microscopic
machinery onto your little financial effort
Really you know the letter makes one feel as
though he had hired lawyer and pleaded guilty at
the same time

PATCHES REMARKS ON
MURDER TRIAL
lArizona Rennblicanl

n
The best thing we have seen on the
Snyder-G Gray trial is an article in
Hugh Sutherland's new weekly,
Patches" in which he takes to a
cleaning the newspapers, their cores
pondents, regular and special, preach
ers who have enlisted in assisting
publicity of this sordid affair, sob
sisters, photographers, still and movie,
psychoanalysts, artists, and that self
admitted philosopher, Will Durant.
A cartoon depicts long queue of
these necessary adjuncts of an Ameri-
can murder trial, while justice, with
her scales, is ordered by cop, "You
go back to the end of the line, lady"
Here is sample of Patches" treat
ment of the case:
"What Mrs. Snyder had for break
fast, the color of her silken nightie,
her fortitude, her bravery, the man
ner in which she always had been kind
to her parents, her mothers middle
name, her mothers faith in her, her
preferences in the matter of bever-
ages for party, what sort of night
she had spent and if she had talked in
her sleep-these and many other real
ly Worthwhile handy facts were
chronicled in newspapers that were
put into cornerstones of lofty build
ings and into hands of children and
their parents. Furthermore, it was
discovered that the slayers were more
to be pitied than Censured.
Editorial writer's, special writers
and just plain ordinary writer's point
ed out that after all, this man Snyder
was not so hot. He was SO years old,
a crime in itself; and due, perhaps, tt
the senility that often sets in at 81,
he had the sinister popularity of not
caring especially for wild parties or
cabarets. Investigation developed the
suspicious circumstance that indicated
he loved his home. These were a few
of the things that the poor woman had
to put up with before she learned to
know her picture wire.
"Gray gave the gushers something
more of a problem, because whereas
the other two had some character, at
any rate, he was pretty poor stuff to
work with. Some of the literati took
the angle that he was home-loving
man, ensnared, and others painted
him as sort of Galahad, girding on
his sash weight to go forth and do
battle and free this poor soul mate of
his from husband who did not under
stand her"
But after all, it may be asked, are
the newspapers to blame if they yield
to the temptation now and then to
convert themselves into sewage dis
posal plants? They do it with an
understanding of what their public
wants and not for the mere pleasure
of doing it. We have no doubt that
many newspaper owner and news
editor looks with disgust upon the
front page these mornings and eve
nings and curses the public taste.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

The teacher is sweeping the witches
out of the sky and exartcing the rab-
bits feet from the pockets of the peo-
Pile. However, the job is evidently
not complete, for the Manchester
Guardian reported week or so ago
that the London and Northern Rail-
way has decided to remove the num-
Der "13" from its sleeping cars.
Evidently the hard-headed British
er is little soft on 13. The AM
erican is not much better, for trans
portation companies announce travel
and shipping to be lighter today. Fri
day, the 18th, is double hoodoo.
Somebody has figured out that
Columbus set sail from Spain on Fri
day. The Pilgrims are declared to
have landed from the Mayflower on
this same unlucky day. CORVALLIS
surrendered his sword to Washington
on Friday. That was mighty unlucky
for the British.
Bismark is said to have been born
on Friday; so was Farenheit, the ther-
mometer man. Possibly some wish
at times he had never been born.
Napoleon, Gladstone and Washington
are reputed to have been born on Fri
day. 1t would appear that the
trouble with some is they were not
born on Friday.
Queen Victoria was married on
Friday. The tradegy in many home
is that marriage did not occur on
Friday. 1t is not in the stars, nor
days, but in muddy boots and bad
cooking that some are divorcelings.
There are just thirteen in bakers
dozen; yet who refused the extra
bun? There were thirteen colonies in
the baby republic and thirteen bars or
the flag. A quarter has thirteen
arrows in the eagles talons, thirteen
sprays on the palm branch in the
other talon, Thirteen bars on the eagles
other talon, thirteen bars on the eagles
shield, thirteen stars in the constel-
lation about his head and thirteen let
tiers in the little legend Quarter
Dollar" Yet most folks feel lucky to
have quarter.

EXTEND THE CLEANUP WEEK

Cleanup Week" has accomplished much in our
fair city. Local pride has shown up in many sec
tions. Truck loads of antiquated cans, residue,
unsaeable equipment and other backyard unorna-
mental discards, have been going on their way to
some secluded canyon retreat. While the Clean
up Week is an intensive affair, we have hopes
that it can be extended to the other fifty-one
weeks with view of having less to do all at one
time. You see there is need of constant endeavor
along civic pride and sanitary lines to keep the
city presentable when tourist friends drop in on
us Unexpectedly. There is an old oxidized idea
that the best way to correct some local condition
is to "bawl EN- out in print, publish EN- to the
world" That sort of thing makes the average
man, who has been more or less careless but not
Intentionally SO, hump his back and get mulish,
as they say back in Missouri.
First off the careless feler realizes that it was
some fellow with ''spite" against him that IN
cited the publicity. a
OR suggestion is to see the folks first or ask
the recognized authorities fsthe nuisance can not
be abated on. friendly basis. Don't try to git
the law on somebody you don't like'-try to get
reasonable honest action.
of course, there are times when it is necessary
to smoke some "ole mule" out by public senti-
ment.
We're for that when all other reas enable means
fail
The Sun has its own faults-it's own back al
ley, and we don't claim to be "ho.ier than thou. =
We merely want the same reasonable, honest
break with the rest of our folks.
We write many red-hot editoral--whch is
torn up the next day.
We won't help neighbor shoot nelghbOr and
start community row when good horse sense and
a little reflection would bring about bunch of
consolidated fighters, all fighting for advance
ment.

THIS is EMBARRASSING
(Tucson Star)

Y QOoOl Oval
What would be good editorial any
place in America, Arizona excepted,
was received in the mail yesterday
from the bureau of publicity of the
democratic national committee In ef-
feet, it charges Ogden L. Mills, re-
publican under-secretary of the treas
ury, with passing the buck" in a
speech in which he charged that the
real reason for high taxes was not in
Washington, but in the state capitols,
city halls and county buildings.
There can be no question that, so
far as the country at large is con-
cerned, Mr.. Mills is wrong ond the
democratic national committee is
right, but since Arizona has nomi-
nally democratic administration and
since Arizona people have votes on
national affairs, it might be advisable
for the national committee to avoid
any mention of our state expenditures.
Huge appropriations to make up cleo
ton year deficits incurred by high
way Department. machine do
not seem to justify the contention of
the national committee, but rather do
they sustain Mills.

publican) is doing great deal of
harm to the real democratic party
which is continually fighting for the

ganda coming out Of Washington

The ChiId's Nelson

We have recently come across the
following, from child's essay on
Nelson, IN the Lyric publication, Sea-
ford, Sussex:
oh Harding, kiss me again, were
the bruteful words of a heroic mortal
who won a great great with one eye
and wooden leg. Before the bloody
context arose, this motto was uttered
by him, The queen expects every man
to do his duty Nelson was brave
man, but his morals was not respect
able. Once lady, whose name was
Mrs. Mamblington nursed him, and
he said, oh, heavins, heavins, why
do I love- When he died the queen
met him in boat and he went to ST.
Paul's and was buried. This is q
marvellous lesson to one and all
schoolboys. Do your duty to your
pastors and masters, and then even
with u single leg you can say with
this simple thing will do my duty

EMBEzzLING AS A FINE ART
Tucson Star)

The fact that three men are charged
with embezzlement of a half million
dollars from the state of Nevada does
not necessarily convict them, but il
gives pause for thought to people who
are interested in better government
General recognition of politics has
been the cry Of the public for the last
two decades. States and cities alike
have changed their systems, always
with a view to greater efficiency ano
stronger checks against graft.
In most states, straight graft has
been pretty well abolished, but "legal
gratis" continue. The mere filching
of money from the public treasury is
far from common. Hence, it is Of
Intense interest that such large
amount could have disappeared from
the Nevada treasury without its being
discovered long before this.
Legal grating probably never car
be stopped entirely. Men in power
in politics have plenty of opportuni-
ties to capitalize on that power with
out running foul of the law One
village president back east never got
a cent of legal graft, but retired
several thousand dollars richer after
a single year in office although he
received no salary whatever. He was
cigar salesman and each of hum
dred saloon keepers bought Is to so
boxes of his cigars week because he
was head of the police department.

MELANCHOLY RUMORS

The melancholy rumor that the Lees Ferry
bridge will never be built keeps bobbing up, but
with our usual faith in mankind we are constrained
to believe that Arizona authorities will not let
such catastrophe happen to the state State En-
gineer Lefebvre announces that work will COM
mence short time after bids are opened June z.
Melancholy runor predicts the Cameron bridge
won't hold up the heavy freight to go over it on
its way to Lees Ferry; that bids will be beyond
the range of possibilities of the S285,000 appro-
priated and other obstacles will prevent getting
action in time to secure the federal appropriation
of 100000 We do not believe the rumors. We
still have faith in Arizona by and large and do not
believe it has yet reached that stage of decomposi-
tion that such things can be done to Wilfuly him

ALL SATISFIED BUT ROBBIE

Younge.Bob LaFollette is getting his hand in,
to use the curious patois of rural Wisconsin
aHis "mathless Imperialism as applied to Presi-
dent Coolidge, smacks reminiscently of his late
lamented father.
Young Bob thinks our cautious Mr.. Coolidge
has donned the boots of Mars and is running
roughshod over poor, defenseess Nicaragua. All
the nice, friendly things Mr.. Coolidge has been
saying lately for consumption in the United
States and Latin-America, have been only intend
ed to mask his sinister mperalistic purpose. That
is, to hear the young Mr.. LaFollette tell it.
Now, it happens that the worst Mr.. Coolidge
has done is to say to both sides 'Quit fighting,
put down your guns, and have an orderly election
to choose your own government"
If that be imperialism, the Nicaraguans, at
least, seem to be satisfied with it.-El Paso
Herald.

The Coconino Sun does not claim to run the
largest paper in the country and wouldn't if we
headed editors print No one worth while reads
it and it's useless waste of good shade trees.
The bulk-headed editor may pat himself on the
back and swell all up with pride in having pulled
paper noted rather for it's avoirdupois than its
messages of real interest. Our idea is against
verstuffed bulk, favoring boiled down live matter
of interest as it radiates from city, county and
state.

It is time that Flagstaff awakens to the fact
that establishing real diplomatic relations with the
government and other big corporate agencies will
make for the development of this section Of the
country. 1t may sound big and make high
sounding noise to tell 'em all to go to hell But
the sad part of it is they won't obey. On the con-
trary they seem to figure out some way of not
only refusing the invitation but eventually re
