Flagstaff, June 22.---Discov-

the pottery as of the basket

Kelley described the finding
of the pottery as follows:
From this camp Cat the foot

Chandler, Bob Branstead, E. G.
Hunt and DIR. Debert Connell,
set out to explore a small open
ing within an arch higher up
near the top of a cliff. 1t took
four hours of hard going to
come above this arch.
"The party had a 40 foot
rope, without which Branstead,
the first man over the edge,
could not possibly have reach
ed the opening, which proved
to he some 16 feet long and
seven feet high.
Looking within, Branstead
saw a cave of considerable size,
much checked with fallen rock.
| On bare bed of sand was the
larger pot, standing upright, no
doubt as it had been abandoned
centuries ago or forgotten by
some refugee or cachemaker or
whatever other sort of human
adventurer the imagination
could supply.

whoop of ecstacy. His was the
first trophy Of the expedition. "

Now We Are Going
To Have q New Deal

But beyond this tempo
rary expedient to meet an
emergency looms a perma-
nent reorganization Of the
American banking system
that is long overdue. Not
a bank failure in England
in her darkest days; thou
sands in America-and that
is due to the fact that the
English people have faith in
their banking system and
Americans do not.
They do not because Of
practices by A american
bankers, particularly the
big ones, that have come to
light. These practices in
part are simply stupid; in
part they are vicious and
must be made criminal.
Only yesterday any pub
licist or public man who
said this would have been
called a demagogue; any
one who does not say it to-
day would be called a fool.
For three years, as we re-
peatedly said in these col
umns, leaders in finance,
and we may add, in indus
try, have had the oppor-
tunity to clean house, to
initiate their own reforms,
to assume an intelligent
leadership. AS President
Roosevelt said in his in
augural address they failed,
because they have shown no
vision. They thought that
the crisis would pass, leav-
ing them in full possession
Of the old archaic, selfish
instrumentalitieS of privi-
lege.
Now we are going to
have a new deal. Govern
ment assumes the leadership,
as Government should. And
when the Government of
the Unitd States assumes a
militant leadership in a
clear strong voice the peo-
pie take courage and conf
dence returns.

soul, itself, might rise-beauty
above uglinesS, courage above
despair, tenderness towering,
taper tall, above brutality. All
that a candle might mean-or
a white shaft of flowers, bloom
ing in the desert.
And the twilight faded; and
the night spread slowly, like a
great wing; and the stars broke
into quiet flame, tipping those
countless shafts. And with that.
something lit in my own spirit
some new understanding.
I saw that life, too, has its
grudging earth, with no small
comforts or gentle joy to soften
the stark outlines of mans
tragedy. And on that desert
millions are making their last
brave stand.
Millions of men and women
for whom life has become an
abornination of desolation -
what beauty can possibly spring
from their starved bodies and
tortured spirits? Yet beauty
does spring! Beauty as miracu-
lous as the white yucca bloom,
rising, wandlike, from the sa-
cred soil.
And it came to me-the men,
ory of all the small, gallant
deeds that I have been seeing
for these last dreadful years.
The faith that survived all buf-
feting. The courage that even
a starving body could not dull.
The gentle, generous aots-a
baby comforted; an old man
warmed; a woman cheered un.
til she could turn and face
despair; a youngster steadied in
the grip of fear.
Such simple, insignificant
facts they had seemed, in the
passing. So futile, against the
vastness of our generalization.
Yet, actually, they were the
most triumphant sight on
earth! For, small as they
were, their white flame routed
all the powers of darkness!
They, too, were candles OF
the Lord, towering above the
desolate waste of human mis-
cry; tall candles that neither
ignorance nor disaster, pain or
poverty could extinguiSh.

ped of all small comfort or
graciousness. Often lately I
have gone out to it, hating it,
yet drawn by some dark quail
ity which matched my mood;
seeing in it, perhaps, a reflec-
ton of the human desolation
that is haunting us all.
But, even in the desert, there
are miracles!
That mesa! Yesterday, at
twilight, it sprawled its barren,
blue-black barrier across the
coppery horizon. Tonight
what is that unearthly lowell
ness of silver wands, softening
its bleakness?
The yucca is in bloom!
Impossible - out of such
grudging earth! Yet there they
are, springing from innumerable
tufts of gray, green blades-tall
stalks, close set with ivory bells.
Everywhere, down the dry
washes, along the rocky ridge,
file upon ghostly file-their
waxy whiteness melting into the
ashy violet of the evening sky;
their fragrance drifting in slow
spirals, heavy as incense.
Candles of the Lord" the
Spanish called them. How deep
and secret was the understand
ing which prompted that name!
They knew their desert, those
Spaniards. Knew, too, what a
candle might mean to a man
lost in the wilderness. Some
thing more than a white spar

For the Benefit
Of the People

It will be much easier to
make these progressive re-
forms for the benefit of all
the people now than it would
have been six months ago.
There will be no power
full and imposing lobby Of
" financial experts" in Wash
ington to oppose; for the
most imposing members Of
this lobby are lucky if they
can look their fellow citizens
in the face today. They are
not seeking the spotlight in
Washington.
No portion Of the press will
unctuously quote these gen
tlemen as opposed to
reform measure as though
these gentlemen's opposition
damns it.
It is the old historic story
they who have not enough
vision to reform themselves
have to be reformed. The
people are going to take
over the peoples Govern
ment for the benefit of the
people.

A Lesson for Fifty"

If you have passed the fifty
mark, you doubtless have alarm
ing thoughts when one of your
friends about the same age,
dies unexpectedly.
You do hard thinking espe-
cially about how you would
leave your family in case you
were taken soon and without
warning.
You realize that you have
had unusual aches and pains in
recent years.
You know you must be care
full about what you eat, but
have you stamina to eat only
what you should and that at
meal time?
You know that you should
rest more at your age, and do
you do it?
This friend you have in mind
seemed more rugged than you

NN SATURDAY dlIel lAoOh
" President Roosevelt in
his ringing inaugural ad-
dress accepted the respon-
sibilities and duties of a
positive leadership Of the
American people. In re-
ferring to the reasons for
the crisis now dumped into
his lap, he used language
to which we have not been
accustomed in this country
for too many years. He
called a spade a spade.
In this notable address,
which will rank in impor-
tance with those of Jeffer-
son, Lincoln and Wilson, he
gave vigorous utterance to
the thought that has been
in the minds of the people
action, and action now. "
On Sunday afternoon he
was at work with his advi-
sors on the crisis precipitated
by the action in Detroit.
Since then the boarding
which has been going on
for a year increased. The
smaller men with smaller
savings in banks, which
mean more to them and
their future safety than the
huger amounts that have
been boarded in gold by the
very rich, became hoarders
through fear.
In less than sc hours
after assuming a positive
and militant leadership for
which the nation has been
clamoring, President Roose-
welt issued a proclamation
closing the banks until after
Thursday, when Congress
convenes in extraordinary
session.
He puts an end to hoard
ing; he stops the exporta-
tion of gold; when Congress
convenes he will have a
definite plan for a perma-
nent reorganization Of the
banking system in the in
terest Of the public.
That is action.

Action Was Wise
and Necessary

That was wise and neces-
sary; ; it was drastic-but no
more drastic than real lead
ership requires at this juno
ture.
At the battle of Monmouth
the army Of Washington,
caught momentarily in a
panic Of fear and hysteria,
was in disorderly retreat.
You know the story-how
Washington, his face aflame
with Indignation, his sword
drawn, profanity, that the
angels wiped out, on his lips,
stopped the retreat, restored
confidence, and won the day.
Meanwhile, there is no oc-
casion for fear; this action OF
the President means that the
drifting which has developed
fear is over; that a national
leadership that has courage
and determination has ap-
peared.
It means temporary incon-
venience-but no different
from the temporary incon-
veniences we suffered cheer
fully and even gayly during
the war. To meet this incon-
venience, as we'll as possible,
a temporary currency is pro-
vided. When a people give
way momentarily to hysteria
there must be a firm leader
ship to save them from the
results Of their own folly.

And that merely means
an end to privilege. 1t does
not mean anything so stupid

The people have responded
admirably thus far to Presi-

leadership. A partisan note
at this time would be vicious.
We note with satisfaction
that Odgen Mills has been

admirable.
