A WISE PROPOSAL.

The proposal Of Mr.. Ruehman at the
meeting of the city council last night
TO increase the license tax on saloon
keepers from $25 quarter to $3.50 a
quarter, payable in advance, was wise
and proper
High license is tho sure cure for the
saloon evil 1t will exterminate the
doggeries and the murder schools, put
the saloon business in conservative
hands, and materially increase the
revenue Of the city. There are too
many saloons in Tucson for the good
Of the town. The way to regulate
them is by taXation A license tax %
5000 year is reasonable This would
materially reduce The number Of sa-
Icons, make a License valuable and
crowd out the dons where vice is
hatched and murder propagated
The right to drink liquor is inherent.
No one has right to sell liquor. It
is a privilege granted by the consti-
tuttt dHNltIlllPS ol Inc community y.
and ought to be carefully regulated
Two murders recently committed in
this community are directly traceable
10 the brain poison dealt out in the
doggeries. A high license would
abolish most of these places. A high
license would put the liquor business
in reputable hands. A high license
would reduce the number of saloons
from fifty to a dozen
The ordinance proposed by Mr..
Buehman should be passed. 1t is In
accord with the best public sentiment
Of the community. 1t is not prohbi-
tion or sumptuary legislation 1t is
simply in the direction of wholesome
regulation.
Weed out the murder dens.

Helping "a Sculptor.

When Macmonnies. the American
Sculptor, was young man working In
Paris. Falguiere, the famous French
sculptor, on one occasion entered his
Rtelier and found there beautiful
Diana that had been for months "on
the stocks" and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself
Falguiere became SO absorbed In the
work before him as to forget that ii
WAS not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs of Diana this
way and that. to punch her in the ribs
turn her qneenly head for she was
then only In clay, of course, and sus
ceptihle to Impressions until at last
he had produced the very pose he de.
sired There, my friend; like her
better so. he cried and skipped out Of
the studio
He had really iutCnded to do Mac
hlonnics Il favor and had indeed paid
him the greatest compliment of which
he was capable. but the young sculp-
tor was in distress. for on comparing
the rcmodeled Diana with photo
graph OF Falguiere's statue of the
same character he found the French
man had unc0nsciously made prac-
tical replica of the otncr. Macmon-
MES did not rest until he had restored
his statue to its original pose.

MORGAN AND The KAISER.

In the last Issue Of the Commoner
Mr. William Jennings Bryan praises
the German emperor very highly be-
cauSe the German emperor expressed
qualities Of J, pierpont Morgan. This. n
our opinion is hardly sufficient ground
to rate the attainments of the emperor
very highly William estimate OF
Morgan may be inst. but it is quite MS
probably that it WIS founded onicaprice
as on mature dclberation.
If a plain everyday German were to
insnnate that Colossus Morgan is not
every whit as great as he appears to
be, nobody would pay any attention to
MS disparagement Of the mighty
American tinancier But when the
Kaiser, who is something of a colossus
himself, asserts that Mr. Morgan is
no great shakes' after all the i'm
pfrial dictum claims Immediate and
respectful consideration. even from
leader of the Democratic party.
It seems. according to dispatch
sent from Paris, that Emperor William
and WaIdeck Rousseau. the lafe pre-
mlcr Of France, lunched together not
long ago on the emperor's yacht That
vas shortly after the kaiser and Mr.
Morgan met in Berlin and discussed
tho affairs of the nations It was Civ
On out that the previous dispatches
whivh had represented the kaiser as
overwhelmed by Mr. M0rgan's pro-
diGious intellect were stupid inven-
tons. The kaiser had no difficulty
whatever In taking Mr. Morgan's meas
ure. This is what the Colossus of the
German empire is reported to have
said to the French statesman about
the Colossus OF the United States of
America:
His conversation failed to reveal TO
me that he had any clear comprehen-
sion or the vast harmonies and con-
hicts of the commercial universe. I
was amazed to find him not we'll in
formed regarding the historical and
philosophical development of nations.
Ills political economy leaves him un-
concerned regarding socialism. which
undoubtedly will constitute the most
stupendous question everywhere Mr..

world, but I can't see where he has
single great idea. His chief merit Law
in seizing the right time in which to
