THE MAN BEHIND THE PICK.

There has been all kinds of gush about
 the man who is behind And the man behind the cannon has
 been toasted, wined and dined. There's the man behind the musket,
 and the man behind the fence; And the man behind his whiskers, and
 the man behind his rents: And the man behind the plough beam.
 and the man behind the hoe; And the man behind the ballot. and
 the man behind the dough; And the man behind the counter. and
 the man behind the bill: And the man behind the pestle. and
 the man behind the<pill; And the man behind the jimmy. and
 the man behind the bars; And the Johnny that goes shopping on
 the stage behind the "stars;" And the man behind the kisser. and the
 man behind the fist; And the girl behind the man behind the gun is on the list; And the man behind the bottle. and
 when they were short of men. There was some small rhymster war
 bled of the man behind the pen; But they missed one honest fellow, and
 I'm raising of a kick. That they didn't make a mention of
 the man behind the pick. Up the rugged mountain side thou
 sand feet he takes his way, Or as far into the darkness from the
 cheering light of day; He is shut out from the sunlight, in
 the glimmer of the lamps: He is cut off from the sweet air in the
 sickly fumes and damps; He must toll in cramped positions; he
 must take his life in hand. For he works in deadly peril that but
 few can understand; But he does it all in silence. and he
 seldom makes n kick, Which is why I sing the praises of the
 man behind the pick. He unlocks the bolted portals of the
 mountains to the stores Hid in natures vast exchequer In her
 treasure house of ores. He applies Il key dynamic. and the
 gates are backward rolled. And the ancient rocks are riven to
 their secret heart of gold. Things of comfort and of beauty and
 of usefulness are mined By this brave and quiet worker-he's
 a friend of humankind; Who. though trampled down and un-
 derpai1, tolls on without a kick; So I lift my hat in honor of the man
 behind the pick.

The commissioner of Indian affairs in his annual report takes the same position that Governor Murphy took in his report. namely. that the Indians should be made self-supporting as rap idly as possible. To do this it is nec- essary first to break up the tribal re- lations so far as it can be done and equip each Indian with a proper knowl- edge of farming and the means where with to make a living from the soil. So far as Arizona is concerned, the main object will have been achieved as soon as there is an adequate supply of irrigation water for the Indians. Of course, for a long time to come the government will have to stand as guardian of the Indian, and protect him from spoliation by designing white men. But if he is ever to become a self-reliant and civilized being his in dividuality must be cultivated to the utmost. The entire reservation sys- tenn should be modified, and in many instances abolished. and the lands given to the Indians in severalty, and all mineral and non-agricultural lands should be thrown open to entry by cit izens. The policy of holding thousands of square miles of rich mineral lands out of the reach of enterprising Amer jeans and to no benefit whatever for the Indians, is an idiotic policy. IL is

In Germany the proportion of univer- sity students to the whole population has doubled in thirty years. The total number in 1870 was 17.701, which gave S.S3 students to every 10000 German males, while in 1900 it was 40.520 or 16.TS to every 10000. The comparative figures for the different institutions of higher learning are as follows: Uni versailles proper, 13.674 and 32,S3i; tech nical schools. 2.92S and 1O.412; mining schools, IA and 753: veterinary schools, 267 and 1.343. and agricultural schools. 951 and 800.

mines. The production in 1900 was about 6O3, ,0OO, 900 pounds and the con sumption was 3S5, ,O0O. 900 pounds by the United States official figures. The year of 1900 was an off year on account of the presidential election and trade was not up to the usual standard. The con sumption in 1901 will undoubtedly be the largest on record, probably 20 per cent larger than in 1900. which would make it 425, 900, 900 pounds
 Moreover the many important dis coveries of copper in the mining re- gions of the west especially in Ari- zona, have probably led many ob- servers to conclude that an immense increase in the production of the metal is impending. This surmise has also influenced buyers at home and abroad. doubtless, to restrict their purchases to immediate wants. But those who have expected great and sudden in creases in production have overlooked the fact, as MT. Stanton states. that some of the older mines in Michigan and Montana are yielding diminished output, and they have failed to give proper weight to the fact that even in Arizona, the most favorably situated copper region in the world, the de- velopment of a copper prospect into a steadily producing copper mine is a slow process. and one requiring large outlay of capital In truth. 1t is usually a matter of years to make" a large copper mine. To be sure. so far as Arizona is concerned, copper mine once properly opened, Is for all prac- tical purposes a perpetual producer. but Arizona is largely exceptional in this regard. And in all probability taking no account of possible fluctua- tions and depressions of temporary nature-the future of copper was never brighter than it Is today.

WOMEN PRISONERS IN ARKANSAS

Governor Davis of Arkansas has cre- ated a somewhat startling precedent by discharging all the women confined in the state penitentiary. Not content with this. the governor notified the peo- pie of his state that no women will hereafter be confined in the peniten- tiary unless the legislature furnishes a reform school which is suitable place for their incarceration. Cover nor Davis's plan is probably too radical for use in other states. where the num- Der of female convicts Is larger than in Arkansas. But the need for hu- mane and educative treatment of wo- men prisoners is great in all the states and the governor of Arkansas at least deserves credit for emphasizing the need even if his method is sensational.

The city of Phoenix and the county of Maricopa are more tolerant or the
 evil of nonresident THE pauperism than are PRORI.EM most communities OF THE POOR. Even Chicago has re-
 volted having grown tired of being an easy thing TOT other places that are more thrifty III looking after their own welfare. De pendents dumped upon Chicago Will be sent back to their places of resi- dence. if a recommendation made by the bureau of charities of that city is carried out "Chicago." declare the officers of that department, "is a center toward which flows a constant stream of dependents, who. having no legal or moral claims upon the charities of the community, nevertheless remain here as charitable charges until they gain a legal residence and are thereafter entitled to support" Substitute the word "Phoenix" for Chicago" and this statement is truthful represen- tation of the situation here. This community has no paupers of its own, practically speaking. Yet, the heaviest single burden which the county of Mar icopa has to bear is the care of de- pendents at the poor farm.
 Destitute people come here from all parts of the country. and in some in- stances they have hardly stepped off the railroad before inquiring for the location of the county supervisors. It is undoubtedly true that the expenses of maintaining the county poor farm are augmented by extravaganza in con- tracts and in poor financial manage ment generally on the part of the sup ervisors-a farm in the Salt River val ley should be abundantly self-support- ing instead of public burden, and no individual or syndicate should be per mitted to make thousands of dollars 1T, profits each year through running this county institution-but under the best management and the most favorable circumstances the care of the non-resi- dent poor would be a serious burden for our taxpayers. How to remedy the evil is the problem. It would cer- tainly be a step in the right direc- tion, however. if the county and city authorities would announce to the world that this community is tired of having to care for the poor of the east. no matter how deserving the individ- uals may be.
 Another step in the right direction. as above suggested, and one which the people will take sooner or later. will be to operate the poor farm on a strictly business basis. When the farm was acquired at a large outlay, it was on the justly founded supposition that much of the financial burden of caring for the poor could thereby be avoided But if the farm has been of any ben eft to anybody except those having inn mediate charge of it, the proofs are lacking.

The miners and prospectors of Ari-
 don their copper prop THE critics, just yet. As we OUTLOOK have suggested in these FOR COPPER. columns, it would not be
 unreasonable to expect a fall in copper from the price which has been maintained so long, in view of the difficulties which have attended the efforts to maintain the market for shares of the copper trust at high level. and in view of the commercial depression in Germany and other parts of Europe. But it is by no means cer- tain, notwithstanding these adverse conditions, that there will be any ma terial decline, for some time to come. at least.
 It has been learned that the copper trade in general is now figuring upon suit from the projected laying of a cable to the Philippines. It is esti- mated that the cable will be about 1000 miles long. Submarine cables contain from seventy-five to $50 pounds of copper to the mile. and it is said that the Philippines cable would probably run from 45O to $50 pounds. That would mean, roughly, 100000 pounds of copper.
 Statistics as to the copper trade situ- ation in October show that the pro- duction of copper for the month was as follows: United States reporting mines 20.49S tons, against 1895 tons for October, 1900. Outside sources esti- mated 3.6O0 tons against 3.400 tens a year ago. Foreign reporting mines S.960 tons, against 1920 last year. Ex- ports s.O16 tons, against 12 6s2 last year. Regarding the future MT. John Stan ton. the copper statistician. is quoted as follows: Tt seems to me that the copper situation is not generally under stood. Cur production is no larger than that of last year. the increase from new mines being offset by a decrease in the production of several of the older

Secretary Long. in his annual report


 lays out a great programme for in
 creasing the strength A of the navy. He rec GREAT ommends the authoriZa- NAVY. tion of twenty-two new
 vessels, fourteen of them fighters and eight essential aux iliaries, aggregating more than one hundred thousand tons displacement, which equals that of the ten battle ships now in service. He asks for 4Jo additional officers, 5000 more enlisted men, 75O more marines. and begs the number of cadets be increased 50 per cent. His estimates of money required for next year amount in round num- bers to s3S, 900 900, exclusive of public works, as against s30, ,Oo0, 900 spent last year. The vessels recommended in detail comprise:
 Three first-class battleships.
 Two first class armored cruisers. Three gunboats, each of about 1000 tons trial displacement.
 Three gunboats, each of about 200 tons trial displacement, for insular service.
 Three picket boats, each of about G50 tons trial displacement.
 Three steel sailing training ships. each of about 1000 tons trial displace- ment.
 One collier of about 15,0OO tons trial displacement.
 Four tugboats.
 As to the necessity of a stronger navy, the secretary pertinently says: ''The navy today is far greater fac tor in our relations with the world than it was before the recent na- tional expansion which now includes Porto Rico, the Hawaiian islands, the vast area of land and sea in the Philip pines and our obligations to Cuba. If we are to have a navy at all it must be commensurate with these great ex- tensions-greater in international even than in territorial importance. This necessity involves the construction of more naval vessels, their manning, eX- ercise and maintenance.''

BETWEEN THE ASTER AND THE
 ROSE.

 Between the aster and the rose The full high tide of summer flows A current affiuent and strong, O'erbrimmed with flowers and joy and
 song.
 The robin pipes a note more true, The sky takes on a deeper blue; A warmer sunshine gleams and smiles. A softer breeze the day beguiles. The valley and the hills beyond Show richer green; and on the pond The anchored water-lilies ride In mimic shallops. side by side. "The early and the latter rains'' Let down their hoard in silver skeins; And rosaries of brighter dew Each morning gem the leaves anew. Each day a fairer day is born To drowse above the hammered corn Until the sun goes down to rest In rosy splendor in the west. Deep in the skys inverted urn The ev'ning's jewel-planets burn: The harvest-moon her crescent fills And lights the circuit of the hills. The merry sea waves clap their hands And dance along the shining sands, Where lovers walk and dream their
 dreams,
 And count as real all that seems. In larger amplitude of life Men. too. forget their petty strife. And beauty bides till autumn goes Between the aster and the rose.
