If Phoenix goes dry April 18th they still have the Roosevelt dam to fall back on or into. Roosevelt took a passing hack at Reno, Nevada's divorce colony. He said they didn't need the tainted money. 'Tis said and sad 'tis, 'tis said, that Taft has not said anything about the hood for our state in his message to congress. Easter's coming on, too. Congress convened Tuesday. Champ Clark is now the Czar, the autocrat, boss and a few other mean names. Cannon is merely a laymember and Mann is the re publican floor manipulator. From an outsider's point of view, Phoenix people's feelings will be sadly ripped asunder when the dry and wet war is over on the 18th. Both sides are cross arid are saying all. manner of nasty things about each other. A brand ad in a stock paper that reaches the stockmen of Northern Arizona saves many an animal to stockmen. A brand in The Sun reaches all the principal stockmen from Kingman to Holbrook and south to Pine. That's what counts, aside from being represented by a paper always looking to help out stockmen. A wise young lady teacher in the Flagstaff kindergarten dis covered that the library paste used in kindergarten work was disap pearing rapidly. It looked so good the little folks thought it was good to eat. This young lady quietly mixed- in a reasonable amount of quinine and it cured the paste appetite quickly. If the Santa Fe continues to add more restrictions as to just how, who and when a person may be granted the privilege pf riding on the limited train, it will be necessary for the person conterrf plating the arduous task of se curing passage, to take a corres pondents school course in just how to accomplish the feat. Disarmament of nations and submitting disputes to interna tional court, now being discussed seriously, is evidence that all na tions are becoming more and more civilized. There is no more need of shooting up a whole lot of citizens over a dispute than there is in one lugging around his private artillery to shoot up someone who does not agree with him. Same thing only on a larger scale. The Sun again breaks the record for Northern Arizona by printing a twelve page paper with a full circulation of 1000 on its books. Every effort is being made to make The Sun a paper of interest to the people of Northern Arizona. There is no attempt to fill up. its columns with what the Bojum of Swhathell or some other sea port is about to do. The live news of personal interest to our readers is our main idea. Our advertising columns contain live advertise ments and there are no dead .dnes to (ill up space. We want more subscribers; we want to make the paper bigger and better every week, and we want" the hearty support of the people. The new reservoir scheme for the city seems to have struck a popular chord among the citizens of Flagstaff. A reservoir of equal capacity of the old reservoir could be built at a reasonable cost and in a short time. It should be done this summer by all means. If the contest between the Santa Fe and tha city continues for the next twenty years, all of Flagstaff's bus iness interests will be amply pro tected in the meantime and new enterprises will be assured of plenty of water during the two or three cold months of the year. The suit against the Santa Fe will come up at the April term of court but it is doubtful - if there will be any settlement of the case until it reaches the supreme court. Their proposed agreement with the city has, undoubtedly gone glimmering and it is up to Flag staff to go ahead with their own enterprise. A survey has b'een made near the present reservoir, where the city owns forty acres of land. All that is .needed now is to move ahead; waiting is a slow game and only winds up in dis appointment. The people are for the new reservoir. A great many people have en thusiastically approved the per manent road idea mentioned last week in The' Sun, and expressd the hope that the supervisors of this county would purchase a stone crusher and commence active op erations along that line this sum mer, at least spend all available funds possible to start th6 work on a fixed plan, to be added to from year to 'year as road funds warranted. It is certainly the right idea and one that should be worked out and boosted along by the people. The amount of permanent good accomplished ii a few years would be astonishing and as fast as re sults are shown, the more advo cates the plan would have. The vicinity of Flagstaff has many at tractions to offer tourists and vis itors, and good roads at all sea sons of the year is an asset Flag staff can ill afford to overlook. The prosperity of a town is Jiot guarded by the wealth of its in habitants, but by the' uniformity with which the business interests pull together when any important undertaking is to be accomplished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and a love for his town in his heart can do "more for the upbuilding of it than a mil lionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his fingers at home progress.

The attendance of the Sunday school has increased to a crowded house within the past few weeks. Everybody seems to haveawakened to the fact that a good Sunday school is essential in a community of wide-awake people.
