JUST FOR EDUCATION.

1 We incline to the opinion that it
 would be good thing for Arizona if 8 sum could be made available for the
 purpose of sending certain territorial editors out into the world for time so that they might brush up their ideas
 and get in touch with the sentiment of the country. There's the Globe Sil- yer Belt, the Arizona Bulletin, the Prescott Courier, the Arizona
 Gazette, the Bisbee Orb and few others that we might mention! They do not recognize the fact, so pat
 ent to the masses, that a change las come over the country. While the country at large is discussing new and
 absorbing issues these so-caled mould
 CTS of Arizona thought continue to
 teach the doctrines of Johann Most,
 Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, Billy
 Boy Bryan, and that class of dead and
 gone theorists and anarchists It is
 idle to assume that these newspapers,
 let alone, will see the folly of their
 course. The frequency Of such expres-
 sions as "equal rights to all," the
 common people" Prescott Couriers
 favorite), the down-trodden masses"
 sixteen to one" and down with the
 monopolists'' in their columns attest to the hold the Debs-Bryan frenzy has
 upon them. In the interest of the
 readers of these journals who natu- rally are influenced by their utterances. and who clearly are being imposed up- on, the legislature, we are quite sure,
 would be justified in appropriating
 sum sufficient to send the editors of these papers to Chicago, New York, Washington and other centers of civil lization for the purpose of correcting their habits of thought and expression Of course it would not do to permit them to go unattended. Men who have displayed such shocking ignor- ance of the trend of public sentiment could hardly be expected to reap the full benefit of such an excursion if per mitted to follow their own devices. Too many skin games" have come into vogue since these editors began to talk about the common people" and "plu- tocrats of Wall street" to warrant sending them alone. Of course they would be 4on" to the games of a gen sration ago, but these are not worked Q any extent now, and in seeking to avoid them there is no telling what harm might result to these thought noulders. The legislature might con- clude to send MT. Tom Parish or some other reformer as an escort. So
 ong as he was thoroughly posted and equal to the task of putting the edi- and it's thought it would not matter who might be selected. It is pity that the legislature will not meet until next winter, for this mis- sionary work ought not to be post poned, but as it would be impossible to raise sufficient money by subscrip- ton to send these editors on what would probably be termed by the un- a junketing trip, there ap- pears to be no chance of accomplish ng this worthy object except through 1 he legislature. We submit the ques- ion to the people of Arizona who love he territory and who dislike to have he impression get abroad, by means ,f the papers in question, that Ari- .Ona'S leading men are thieves that it. i people generally are under the heels Of 1 money sharks, and that 1 t should be stunned by all respectable ] lomeseekers.
