EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher ARIZONA HALTING DEVELOPMENT The attitude of Governor Hunt, of Arizona, and others in authority in that state, in holding out for a monopoly of the power to be developed from damming the Colorado river, is very disappointing, not to say disgusting, to the other six states of the Colorado river basin. Nor is this displeasure confined to these sister states of the southwest. Federal authorities at Washington do not like Arizona's attitude. Should it be persisted in, the national government itself may go ahead and build a dam at Boulder canyon, as an emergency enterprise to protect the lower Colorado river valley from periodic destructive floods. It is to be hoped that this intimation from Washington may suffice to impress Phoenix and lead to a more liberal attitude there toward the compact which has been formulated, and to which six of the seven states of the Colorado river basin have given official adhesion. This great work should be begun. How much, in material benefits, this mammoth project would mean to the southwest no man can calculate. It will require many years, at best, to put the great work through to consummation. The sooner it is started, the better. The best sermon that is preached is a consistently good life. The dove of peace seemingly cannot find room to roost or to nest in Oklahoma, at present. The hard coal problem seems to have been solved in such way as to be soft for the miners and operators, but hard for the consumers. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING PERSHING AT WORK—Fresno Republican General Pershing is 63 years of age. And he is at work. And still in the joy of duty, he goes to his desk early and keeps himself and others who are associated with him busy. He can be secretary of war, and chief of staff and general of the American army all at one time and not feel it. What must be the vision before a man whose duty is this. He must see not war, but the avoidance of war. He must keep in his mind the dangers of human passion, as well as its potential PERSHING AT WORK—Fresno Republican General Pershing is 63 years of age. And he is at work. And still in the joy of duty, he goes to his desk early and keeps himself and others who are associated with him busy. He can be secretary of war, and chief of staff and general of the American army all at one time and not feel it. What must be the vision before a man whose duty is this. He must see not war, but the avoidance of war. He must keep in his mind the dangers of human passion, as well as its potential fruits. He must keep fresh the subtle poisons of the tropics, as he knew them in the Philippines; the broad trail of loneliness, thinning the human mind, as when he led American punitives through Mexican sands on the trail of Villa; the horrible explosion of civilization, determined that it shall continue to eat and drink and enjoy life, as it swept destruction through the north of France. He must see all these things in the light of grim determination of Americans that there shall be no more; to give the balance of doubt to peace, even though there may be danger of sacrifice of property and honor and of human spirit even of life for the sake of peace. He must know that any such determination might be wiped out in a day and a night, by an international event. He must be ready with the means of war, even though a hundred million of his countrymen cry "peace!" He is a man and like all other men, he has either a hope or a fear of immortality. He does not wish his immortal vision clouded by a disaster to his own people that he might have averted, by preparing as best he might, the means of national self defense. Is this not a great work, for a man nearly the limit of three score and ten and ready to be at ease if he could? It is Pershing's work. 1/6 to us $6 to you and a new 66 in your home You'll know NEXT WEEK IN YOUR HOME You’ll know NEXT WEEK WE SHIP HOUSEHOLD GOODS AT REDUCED FREIGHT RATES It will pay you to investigate Bekins’ Service—and our reduced freight rates—before you ship.

Propaganda is just information if any, badly warped to fit a prejudice. Don't despair even though you amount to very little. Think of the king of Italy. Revolution is the process that enables the tax payer to be trimmed by a new crowd. A sugar boycott would be more effective if sugar didn't do such interesting things to fruit juice. Settling a coal strike gets a governor almost as much publicity as fighting the klan. Speaking of pride, if it is a honor to live where there are many, why dread hell? When thieves fall out, honest men get their due. When honest men fall out, lawyers get theirs. The reason a third party develops slowly is because appetites are stronger than grobes.

NEW YORK LETTER Poor Mr. Goldwyn of the movies Some years ago Samuel Goldwyn was born as Samuel Goldfish—but then he couldn't help that. As the time went on he became interested in the motion picture business and joined hands with one Selwyn. They coined the name Goldwyn from a combination of the two and issued their product under that name. Later Mr. Goldfish decided that Goldwyn was a better name for him too. The courts legalized the change and such he has been ever since. Now, when a change in their affairs has altered their old relationship, the old picture company is trying to restrain him from using the name on his new pictures. While his name is Goldwyn alright, the name really doesn't belong to him according to the claim. A case of selling one's birthright for a mess of filmage. Maude Adams is to be a motion picture producer. Various rumors that she would return to the stage are set at rest and the future activity of this woman who has always held the close interest of the whole country is finally announced. She has succeeded in obtaining the motion picture rights of "Kim," with the iron-clad condition laid down by Rudyard Kipling that the production must be made in India and the role of "Kim" must be played by a boy. Miss Adams has been studying lighting in the laboratories of the General Electric Company, since her retirement from the stage several years ago. Eleanora Duse is scheduled to Speaking of pride, if it is a honor to live where there are many, why dread hell? When thieves fall out, honest men get their due.

Lots of people are not familiar with the laws. Before deciding that, tonsils make the child dull, the teacher should take a look at the child's parents. If she speaks casually of "the servants" five times during her call, you may assume that until recently she did her own housework. There can be no reasonable objection to our statesmen visiting Eurpoe unless it is that they come back. Fable: Once there was a conscience that didn't sneak away and hide at the sight of a great profit. It is only three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves unless supporting a used car hastens the process. We shall not call patriotism a virtue until we observe it cheering a cripple five years after the axe is ground. Correct this sentence: "If ever we have a car," she declared, "we'll certainly take our less fortunate friends to ride." Little Willie was the best brought-up youth in his community, but there were times when his training was strained. On one occasion his mother detected the odor of tobacco on his breath. "Willie, you naughty, naughty boy!" she exclaimed. "You've been smoking. You'll be slick." To which the polite child replied wanty: "Thank you, mother, I'm dying." Something to Remember Real Good Gravy Don't forget that the secret of making real, good gravy is KITCHEN BOUQUET. Purely a vegetable product, it makes real, good gravy of any gravy stock, bringing out its full flavor and giving it a deep, rich brown color. Add a tablespoonful just before taking off the stove. Don't forget KITCHEN BOUQUET, use it often — probably you have it in your pantry, if not, ask your grocer for it.

The first one we had worked with a handle like a suction pump and a person with magnificent physique and in good training could go over the floor of a small room in one day without breaking his back. You held the cleaner with one hand and pulled with the other, and coaxing the microbes out of a six by eight rug was a process which occupied an entire day. Then they got the electric vacuum cleaners. We didn't have any electric lights in the house at that time, but had them put in just so we could operate an electric vacuum cleaner. Nobody in the world was going to have anything on us in the way of cleaners. After filling the cellar, the barn and the garage with vacuum cleaners, that were a week or two behind the times, we swore off, and we didn't buy a vacuum cleaner for two months. Yesterday a man came along with a new vacuum cleaner that would pull the tacks out of a carpet or would yank the paper off the wall. It would pull a mustard plaster from a man's back. When placed at one end of the room it would tear out a plate glass window in the other end of the room. It cleaned up all of the known day without breaking his back.

When placed at one end of the room it would tear out a plate glass window in the other end of the room. It cleaned up all of the known microbes and, as it was working only half capacity while so doing they had invented three or four thousand microbes that had never been heard of before, just to keep the vacuum cleaner busy. In other words when they began working the new vacuum cleaner, it had pulled in microbes that the scientists had never had the nerve to discover so tremendous was its strength.
