OUR ANNIVERSARY
Today the Phoenix-Tribune enters
upon its Eleventh year of continuous
publication in the City of Phoenix,
county of Maricopa, state of Arizo
na. In the beginning the management
of the Tribune adopted a policy of
clean, conservative, reliable journal
ism and without equivocation or eva
sion, this policy has been religiously
adhered to.
The Tribune’s family of readers
has grown from a few hundred to
many thousands and it is a source
of pleasure to be in touch with so
large a number of real live human
beings. Our interests are mutual
and long ago this group of readers
learned to look upon the Tribune as
the champion of the rights of the
people.
It has been our endeavor to im
prove as we grew, and in this we
feel that we have succeeded admir
ably. The Tribune today is more
popular than ever before, and the
eagerness with which it is received
by subscribers proves this fact be
yond a shadow of a doubt.
We plan to make this the banner
year of the Tribune, giving our sub
scribers a bigger and better journal
in every way. It is a known fact
that the value of a publication
as an advertising medium is based
on two things —circulation and read
ers’ interest. Since this is true, we
shall continue to make the Tribune
more and more interesting to its
readers, while adding to our list of
subscribers.
It would be the basest form of in
gratitude were we to end this edito
rial without thanking our advertisers
as well as our subscribers who have
materially assisted us during all
these years in producing the Tribune.
In a word, we thank you one and
all, who in any way assisted in
making the Tribune the great and
influential paper it is today.

PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
THE CITY ELECTION
Tuesday, April 3rd, the citizens of
Phoenix will choose a mayor and
two commissioners to direct the af
fairs of this municipality for the
next two years. Old timers say this
is the hottest election ever held in
Phoenix, and there may be some sur
prises in store for certain candi
dates.
We are indeed pleased to know
that the majority of Tribune read
ers are intelligent, normal citizens
and are capable of thinking for them
selves. They have learned to study
the records of candidates for office,
and make their decisions according
ly. The only way accurately to judge
the future is by the past, and this
applies to candidates as well as to
any other person.
The Tribune has this to say: If
you like the way the affairs of the
city are being conducted, then your
vote should b'e for Wallingford,
Boehmer and Graves, who are
pledged to carry out the plans of

the present administration. On the
other hand, if you are dissatisfied
with the way things are being done,
then Paddock, Godwin and Roer
promise you a change in the manner
of conducting the affairs of the city.
We believe that another good way
to judge the merits of a ticket is to
find o»ut the type of workers support
ing that ticket and make your own
deductions. ’Tis said that politics
makes strange bedfellows, but always
we have found that “birds of a feath
er flock together.”

Dr. W. W. McDonald Passes
Word received from Pueblo, Colo.,
some time ago is to the effect that
Dr. W. W. McDonald passed away in
that city following a brief illness. It
will be recalled by many that Dr. Mc-
Donald formerly was a practicing
physician in Phoenix, occupying of
fices at 238 E. Washington St. He
made many friends during his stay in
Phoenix, and they will be grieved to
learn of his untimely death.
