LET US PRAY,

We'll, well. Has the reform wave struck the Gazette office at last? Does our esteemed contemporary in- tend to stop abusing individ- uals whose theories and ac- tions do not square with its own pc culiar views? In short, IS the millen- ium at hand? We are forced to the conclusion that it is by perusal of the following editorial presented yester- day by the Gazette:
 ''It is one of the prevailing faults of mankind to abuse man who fails to agree with their opinions and con- clusions. The common thing to do seems to be to abuse and villify an individual because he fails to see things through your glasses. This is painfully true in politics. A man dis agrees with you and your theories and at once he is denounced as an en- emy and a man unfit to be trusted. Tn the light of intelligent thought, such thing is monstrous and the sooner men free themselves from such debasing and injurious habits the better it will be for mankind. Men may and do differ with us in all that pertains to morality, good gov ernment and common usages of life; differ, and do it honestly and con- scientiously, and without any pos sible intention to harm or annoy us Are we to crowd men off the beaten pathway of life on such frivolous pre- lenses? Yet it is being done here in Arizona, in Phoenix, every day and much of it is a habit that has growr upon the public unconsciously; yet ii is permitted to mar relationship that would otherwise be exceedingly friendly and pleasant"

JUDGE FOSTERS DECISION.

In healthy decision adverse to the Kansas City Live Stock exchange, Judge Foster of Topeka uttered some very sound comments. The exchange practically forbids it's members. who are the bulk of the trade, from deal ing with any but members and re- stricts the market for live stock. In the course of his opinion the judge says:
 The crying complaint of today and the great menace to the welfare of the people is the tendency of wealth to monopolize and control by trusts and combines the products and indus tries of the. country. and it must be confesse1 by every thoughtful observ- e1 That many of the so-calIed stock produce exchanges are among the most potent instrumentalities for the accomplishment of these purposes by speculators and adventurers Men who add nothing to the productive wealth of the country grow rich or poor by gambling on the wealth pro- duced by others. Men are daily sell ing through these exchanges millions of bushels of corn, wheat, and other produce who neither have nor expect to have a bushel. and others are buy ing millions who never expect to re- ceive bushe1, Both sides are tam pering with the normal prices fixed by the law of supply and demand and attempting by false and dishonest means and methods to serve their ends- The courts have uniformly condemned this class of business as illegal. and, though 1t is under the ban of the law, it still fourishes. The remedy must be looked for in legisla- tion and not in the courts alone.
