The Strange Law OF PeriOdicity

That we are now passing through q
cycle of murderous crimes. particularly
of crimes in which wives kill or at
tempt to kill husbands, and vice versa
needs no further proof than a casual
scanning of the news columns. With
out pretending to have kept a thor
ough record of these domestic tragedies
we can recall. With month, upward
of a dozen notable cases, which is 50
far more than the normal average as
to justify serious reflection 1t is
claimed by astrolcgers that these per-
fodical epidemics of criminal impulse
are due to peculiar planetary inilu-
ences, which exercise upon men and
women of weak moral natures actual
incitement to crme.

and they call the isolation of vice by
legal license such a compromise. If 1t
be what they say. it is compromise
under the terms of which vice gets the
smallest possible power for mischief
and society gets the largest possible
security. Until reformers recognize
that men are not made better by lega!
prohibitions but are only improved by
mental and moral and spiritual sua-
sion. the social evil and the drink evil
will continue to thrive despite outlawry
and all the long chain Of their offspring
evils will thrive with them. In view
of this demonstrated lesson Of human
history, it becomes wise to consider not
how time, money and effort may be
wasted on impossibilities, but how def
mite results can be achieved for good
by the recognition and prudent adjust
ment OF conditions as they are.

That was certainly a queer verdict
in London last week when woman
patient sued physician for breach of
professional secrecy and won verdict
Of 1900. The regularity of the ver-
dict consists of the fact that the physi-
clans only guilt was in warning his
wife not to associate with the patient,
whom he had in professional cap
acity discovered to be an unchaste
woman. The eccentricity of juries is
proverbial; but in this instance it
seems to have established quite a new
record.

To the Editor of the Citizen, Tucson,
My Dear Sir
L have this minute seen in the CITI-
ZEN of the 18th OF this month which was
sent me by friend c. mine, referring
me to a political correspondence pub
Iished in "The Union" dated at Tucson
May 1st. 1t is said TO contain per-
sonal sttsok upon Mr.. Schumacher.
am surprised that the CITIZEN should be
lave that | would have allowed such a
publication. With ali truth and ver8city,
| say to you Mr.. Editor OF the CITIZEN,
that | have not seen in the article re-
ferred TO, DOR do | now see any personal
attack upon Mr.. Schumacher as regards
HE qualifications as citizen but il only
refers TO HIM as regards his political
qualifications. liz | had seen in the cor
respondence cited, Buy personal Injury
To Mr.. Schumacher or any other citizen
l would not have published it on any
account. | am the first to acknowledge
the good qualities which recOmen6s Mr..
Schumacher as citizen, and II would
have been truly great injustice TO pub
lish Rny personal strRck upon him.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor for the
service Of Inserting these lines in your
paper,

ITS TRUE.

From the Pomona. (Cal.) Times. we
present the following neat compliment
for Arizona. 1t is from Arizous's friend,
John W6eson:
"The University ct Arizona heid It's
second ann ual commencement e8ercises
yesterday and toGay. lie seems Dus yee-
terday when there WIS only one public
school in ArizoT a and that at Prescott; {;
now it has university which dos eooo
work and turns o1t accomplished scboi-
ars. That territory, notwithstanding it
wss overrun so many years by murder
Gus Inlisne, pow possesses all the sd-
juuc;s of high civilization. Twenty
years ago. editors throughout the coun-
try. with few honorable exceptions, lied
about tn +, territory and its people and
held them up TO ridicule without mercy
or justice. But happily, the territory
was peopled by energetic men who al
ways promptly and forcibly exposed its
enemies, pushed development aud
brought 1t TO where it Is todsy-that Ia
to be as prosperous as any OF the poiiti-
cal divisions OF this country"

IT is fact fraHght with feeling OF
general satisfaction that the Southern
Pacific company has Issued an order
which will authorize the employment OF
ex-strikers whenever vacancies occur.
Many good men eud faithful employees
were engaged in the strike, but this fact
vii! not interfere with their future en-
ployment, when opportunity occurs.
That the company has restored Its
friendly relations with its employees is
certainly a matter for congratulations,
az any strife in the conduct of its gil
gautlc business is unfortunate for ali
concerned. The harmonious effort of
both employer and employed js ebso-
lutely necessary to the conduct OF any
business, and the CITIZEN is sincere Ia
it's wish that nothing in the future may
occur to mar the mutual interests OF the
S. P. and its army OF workers.

IT might be we'll in considering the
Stars Ggopy at the thought of compell-
ing American citizens TO labor at the de-
grading occupa ion OF canal building,
and it's horror ct the idea OF honest men
being thrown into contact with we'll fec,
lazy criminals, to remember that one of
the last officials acts of the Stars gov
ernor-editor, was TO pardon and restore
to the full rights OF citizenship, thirteen
OF those inGo!ent rsscais Ii might be
that the onIuipotept power o; an Arizo-
ma governor could, 6y q perdou, recon-
etFuct the MORAL constitution IF men
who were considered by the courts as
unfit to run at large. yet there are some
people in the territory AID out of 1t
whose sensibilitias are go blun.ed BY a
lack Of reverence that they cannot seq it
that way.

THAT PRISON CONTRACT.

The contract for prison labor, about
wbich much is being said and written,
involves so macy features detrimental
TO the general welfare of the territory,
that TO discuss them Ell in detail would
be an almost endless task; and 30 iniqui-
tous is 1t ir It's eu tirety that to siugle
out its most glRring fault is no easy
matter.
The principal objection, however.
which strikes the CITIZEN is placing such
labor in CONF ct tion with that OF honest
men who desire to work.
Within ArizoDs's borders today are
hundreds of white men who would be
glad to work in the hot Gun fos reason
able compensation, were the opportunity
offered. Ia addition to these laborers,
there are hundreds of Yuma Indians
who would feel fia'tered by chance to
earn dollar a day and board, and it
will never be argued by any man with
particle OF grey matter beneath his

manner than epy Yuma convict. A

mentalists because opportunities are not
afforded for Indians 10 be self support.
lug. Here is chance for the Indian,
even if the white man be barred BY
tender consideration for his complexion.
Were ell men allowed a choice 10 the
selection Of the occupation which they
would follow as means of earning a
living, very few would choose csnsl
work. But, thank God, there are men,
and many of them in Arizona, who can
not geo any Disgrace in earning an
honest living, even though it be with
pick and shovel. There ars men today
working, not q thousand miles from the
center OF Tucson who would gladly
change their present occupation for
situation upon an irrigation canal, where
they would have the assurance OF better
psy, ard more certainty OF getting it
after il was earned.
There are many occupations at which
convicts could be employed within the
prison walle, and which would not de-
tract one iots from the chances honest
men might have. Penitentiaries in
other states do not fud it necessary to
search for outside employment for their
convicts. Why should Arizoua: That
they should be employed, constantly,
and at hard labor, the CITIZEN thorough
ly believes.
But, even il the contract we're award
ed, and this gigantic canal building
were begun on the magnificent eca!e
represented, how many years would i:
take $50 ccnvicts TO CON; lete the work?
Or is it proposed to incarcers.e the
entire population of the territory in
Yuma 10 order that the contractors may
have sufficient force with which TO
speedily reclaim 100000 acree of lsnd
for prospective immigrants. One hun
dred and fifty convicts you'd be lost in
the vast crowd necessary to carry on
work OF such proportions, and those
employed in addition must needs be
working side by side with these out
casts. Many working men would prefer
to have as companions iD work, decent.
respectable, Yuma Indian to a dis
reputable convict. Again, no man OUT
side the penitentiary would be com
PEELED or forced to accept this labor. 1t
