Saturday morning, Dec. , 21st,
St. Johns was saddened by word
of the death .at Lyman M. Over
son, at his hbme at Salado
Springs, about sik miles south of
St. Johns. It was known that
Mr. Oversan had been dangerous
ly ill with pneumonia; resulting
from Spanish influenza, but the
hope was generally entertained
by his friends and relatives that
his youth and yitality would
triumphover this dreaded disease.
But Saturday ..morning at 3:30,
the struggle became too much for
the wasted Body and he was
granted relief from his sufferings
by the all wise Creator.
Lyman M. Overson was born
in St. Johns, Nov- 26, 1887. He
leaves a wife, formerly Miss Viola
,J Forrest, daughter k of Chas. For

During the illness and death
the brothers proved themselves
trne indeed, as nothing was left
undone that could be done.

a two years mission in the south
ern states in the interest of the
L. D. S. church. On this mission
he bore his testimony to thous-
the L. D. S. church. He died
with that same testimony burn
ing in his bosom, strengthened
but unchanged.

Democracy.
i-o
By Don Marius.
An old warrior in new armor.
An old word with a new meaning.
It is wonderful how many politi
cal battles it has fought and ac
complished so little. It has been
boycottod and gagged. Heralded
and hissed. Embraced and spat
upon. Even the bolsheviks have
bandied it about as a boy with a
toy Dalloon. But at tne coming
peace congress, it will for the first
time in history assume its right
ful meaning. Great God! How
patient the common people have
been. The word has a more vital
meaning to us because it is appli
cable to State, County and evn
Municipal affairs as well as na
tional. We of Apache County
may take it home with us, study
its meaning, its application and
be wise. It is certainly coming
into its own.
In a few days our new State
and County officials will assume
their various duties. Will we re
spect our oaths of office? Not
only to obey the laws but to en
force them? We the citizens of
supposedly bone dry Arizona are
anxious to know if the prohibition
amendment is a dead letter or is
the will of the people to prevail.
Democracy, meaning the people.
gives warning.
Alia io-wuiiiijs, nt j
j day is here when no political can
didate henceforth shall go out
with a bottle of whisky, pander
to the booze fighter, the bootleg
ger and the gambler and win.
The bootleertrer is entitled to
i more respect than the official who
splits with him. The bootlegger
violates the law it is true but he
has not sworn to uphold it.
Again, no candidate shall hence
forth work his party, church or
secret society and win unless he
can deliver the goods. Politics
from now on cut very little
ice. The weal or woe of the1
common people must be the sole i
and determinant factor in guiding
the candidate both before and
after election. A man who seeks
office for his own personal ag
grandizement only, is not worthy
of the confidence of the voters.
He is supposed to be the servant
of the people. Under the new
democracy he will be in fact.
Many officials think they are the
government, forgetting that the
people who elected them
are the
real and only power behind the
throne. Democracy, Kings and
crowns have crumbled to dust.
Tzar and Kaiser have been hurled
like chaff before a cyclone of pub
lic wrath. Autrocracy is dead.
No mourners, no pall bearers, no
funeral train. The world is too
busy, too enwrapt, looking to the
new star of hope just arisen that
proclaims the brotherhood of man
and equality before God.
