conduct of his newspaper as a

that the state government is repub-

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
An Old Railroader Attempts to Make a
Coupling With Serious Results.

An Olu HhllroAuer Attenpts To Make
Coupling With Serious Results.
Monday morning at Fairbanks,
J. Fl. Garner, man fifty-fve years
of age attempted to make an air
coupling on the n. NJ. & A. line,
and was crushed between the cars.
He fell across the track and one
foot was severed from his body.
He was taken to Benson immedi-
ately and freight train conveyed
the body to Tucson. He was not ex-
pecte1 to live as he sustained Sc
we're internal injuries, says the
Cochise ReuieU.
The unfortunate victim was an
old railroad man, but was not an
employe of the railroad company
at the time. He was en- route from
Benson to Nogales and when Fair
banks was reached he alighted from
the caboose and volunteered to as
sist IN some switching at that
point. In doing so he attempted
to couple the air on the cars stand
ing on the main line when the en-
gine with two more cars came off
of the siding and backed into the
train on the main line. Just be-
fore the cars came together,
brakeman called to him to "look
out" but either he did not hear
him or paid no attention to the
warning. He was crushed about
the chest and shoulders and one
foot was severed from the body.
He was hurried to the hospital in
Tucson, but is not expected to live.

A CHEAP LITTLE WAR.

A short time ago it was propos-
ed to send a United States cruiser
to Constantinople to collect q sum
of money said to be due from the
Sultan. This evidently proved
too hard a proposition and we
have recently heard nothing either
of the cruiser or Of the claim. But
our strenuous government has not
been neglectful. 1t appears that
the Sultan of Morocco also owes
us small billand an apology, and
the New York has gone to Tan
gier to enforce payment.
The United States Consul ex-
poets to beard the lion Of Moroc-
co in his lair, to follow him across
the desert, if need be, till he
wrings the money and the apology
from him. And the armored cruiser
will lie off shore, ready to back up
the demand.
This is the way to show that we
are world power. The alleged
outrage for which indemnity is
demanded appears to have been a
small matter concerning a person
whose citizenship was questionable
and the official insult for which
apology is required was entirely
trihlng; but these are just the oc-
casions that world power always
welcomes to bully some small
state that has no friends.
In the old days of Mediterranean
pirates and American merchant
men such mission as that of the
New York was of frequent neces-
sity and of useful effect. 1t was
the American navy that broke up
the piratical business. And yet
we made no great boast of our ex-
pansion at that time. Nowadays,
we have to go far out of our way
to get in contact with Morocco at
all, and it is very cheap sort Of
satisfaction that can possibly be
derived from the present enterprise.
But the navy must be employed.

LAND grabbing continues in
fashion among the great nations.
Great Britain has grabbed the
South African republics; Russia
grabs Manchuria; Great Britain is
not in a position to make a cor
responding grab in that neighbor-
hood, so she picks up few islands
in the Read Sea, just to keep her
hand in. The Sultan objects, but
nobody minds him. Our own be-
loved republic has been doing
pretty well in the land grabbing
business and cannot find fault with
the exploits of others. Hawaii,
the Philippines, Guam, Porto Rico
Cuba next. We are quite in the
fashion. 1t is the good old rule,
the simple plan, that they shall
take who have the power and they
shall keep who can. Germany and
France have made their little
grabs in Asia and are hoping for
more Japan would very much
like a slice, but is doubtful of be-
ing allowed to keep it. If only
we had kept out of the amble
we might do something for the pro-
lection of nations. But that OPP
portunity has gone.

SHOULD BE RE-APPoINTED.

The Office of Secretary of the
Territory is one of the most re-
sponsible in the Territory and
while it is Federal appointment
and the appointee owes nothing to
the people of the Territory for his
nor is he answerable
to them for his actions, yet as
rule the appointing power is will
ing to make an appointment that
would be acceptable to the people.
Hon. Chas. H. Akers, the pres
ent incumbent of the Secretary's
office, is one among the Federal ap-
pointees, who has given universal
satisfaction to the people of the
Territory, and his re-appointment
would also give universal satlsfae-
ton.
Mr.. Akers is a steadfast Repub-
lican and probably the first public
man in the Territory to come out
squarely for, and stand by McKin-
ley, and today he is probably the
strongest and most popular man in
his party in the Territory.
His politics is the only thing the
GUARDIAN has against Mr.. Akers.
We are constitutionally opposed to
Republicans holding Office at all.
but when we must have them, It is
better to have one who is capable
and is endorsed by the people, ir,
respective of politics. In his ap'
pointments no higher tribute could
be paid the Territory by the Presi'
dent than the re-appointment Of

No Ohio man was ever known
to dodge chance to appear in
public or to get his name in the
papers. The Ohio women appear
to be more modest. Governor
Nash has been trying for some
time to find prominent Ohio
woman to break the traditional
bottle of champaign over the prov
of the battleship Ohio when the
ceremony Of launching comes off,
and with such i'll success as to sug-
gest the possibility that conscrip-
tion may have to be resorted to.
Miss Hanna has declined the hon
or, likewise, Grace Mckinley and
Senator Forker's daughters, and
now all the daughters of Ohio are
preparing to decline because they
weren't asked in the first place.
The perplexity of the Ohio Gov
ernor is doubtless very great, but
if worst comes to worst rather
than permit the Ohio to be launch
ed without a name, he might do
the christening act himself. The
law requiring this act to be per-
formed by a woman is an mwrit-
ten one. The outside world can
not help wondering, however, why
the Ohio women should offer such
striking contrast to the men in
their unwillingness to perform a
public duty.

walked on to get a drink. When he
returned a few minutes later the gates
had been raised and his dog was hang
ing forty feet In the air at the end oil

throes of death. The man tried TO make
the ga.eman understand what was the
matter, but didn't succeed until he
pulled him out Of his box and showed
him the dog hanging at the end Of the
rope. The dog was past resuscitation
when he was finally lowered to the
ground, and the countryman wanted
to nght the gateman.
