MURPHY IN THE LOBBY.

1t will hardly surprise anyone
familiar with Governor Murphy's ideas
Of propriety to learn that he has be-
taken himself to the lobby at the
Federal Capital Murphy has qualities
that eminently fit his new vocation
and the manner in which he earns his
living Is entirely his own business.
But he should nave retired from the
Governorship of Arizona before under
taking to promote the interests of the
water stealers and land grabbers. He
should have dlvesteu himself of his.
official character before entering the
lobby to advocate private monopoly at
the expense of public interests.
We have nothing to do with Gov
crnor Murphys determination to an
tagonize a particular policy of the
Roosevelt administration. That is a
question for the President and the
Governor to settle between themselves
But the people of Arizona have a right
to demand that the influence of Ari-
zona. which will be presumed to be
voiced by the Governor, shall not be
used to the detriment of Arizona's
best interests. The people Of this Ter
ritory are in favor of the scheme of
national irrigation recommended by
the President in his message 10 Con-
gress and ably advocated in the an
nual report of the Secretary of the In
terror.
In opposing national irrigation In
the lobby at Washington, Governor
Murphy IS antagonizing the best inter
ests of Arizona and outraging the sense
of propriety of its people.
If Murphy desires to serve private
masters let him become private citi-
zen. We are aware that Governors in
the lobby command an artificial price
but Arizona refuses to be used to add
to Murphy's value. as a promoter of
private monopoly.

nIJUDGE STREETS MEDICATION.

The vindication OF Chief Justice
Webster Street by the Attorney Cen
eral of the United States, after an ex-
haustive examination of all the
charges alleged against him, will be
most gratifying to the people of Ari-
zona.
Judge Street is no stranger to the
people of Arizona nor are his friends
confined to the political party with
which he affiliates. The charges that
were alleged against him were of a
grave character, and it was but simple
justice to him that the investigation
by the Attorney General should be
thorough. That he has passed through
the ordeal of insinuation, allegation
and falsehood unscathed Is only what
his friends expected and what the
public will be glad to learn.
No Judge can be honest. fair. and
desirous of rendering exact justice un-
der all circumstances, without making
enemies from time to time of lawyers
or litigants. Disappointment breeds
yindictiveness and from vindictiyeness
to falsehood is short journey. There
IS no public functionary who is so
much exposed to the malice of disap-
pointment and the venom of broken
hopes and shattered expectations. as
the man who sits on the bench to ad-
minister even and exact justice. Nor
is there any official so helpless against
whispered falsehood. for Judge, like
Caesars wife, should be above sus-
picion.
We most sincerely congratulate
Judge Street on his vindication, and at
the same time congra tulate the people
ct the Territory on the demonstration
that the fountain of justice is un-
difled

CAPITAL TEN PERCENTERS.
Government Clerks Who Lend to

Government Clerks who Lend to
Their Fellow Workers.
81 reckon III sell my salary this
month";" remarked the young census
clerk.
ITO whom" asked his friend.
"Why. to one OF the ten percenters,
Of course" was the reply.
Dialogues such as this are of fire.
Quent occurrence between government
clerks in Washington toward the end
of the month When a clerk sells his
salary to a ten p~""enter. he gives the
latter an q u tor the entire salary
due him on the following pay day and
receives in exchange 80 per cent of the
amount The man who makes the loan
retains the remaining 10 per cent,
whence his name of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist
under one name or another In all of the
great federal department buildings In
Washington. He is invariably n shrewd
government clerk who has bit Of
money of his own or has saved his Jal-
ary until Its accumulation represents
tidy little sum. This capital he Is
ever ready to lend In sums of from $40
to 500.
In a majority Of the Washington Of
fiCes the laws against usurers are so
vigorously enforced that the ten per-
center Is unable to transact business
In safety as an individual: he exists
nevertheless under the protecting title
Of n beneficial society. These fake so
cIeties should not be confused with
the mutual beneficiary organizations
which have been established for
number Of years in many Of the de
partmcnts, notably the government
printing office, for the purpose Of aid
Ing sick or disabled members and their
families and OF burying the dead. The
ten pcrccnters' society never Includes
more than five or six members. They
have their charter and a carefully
drawn constitution and bylaws.
Each member contributes certain
amount Of money TO the funds OF the
concern, and the otheF employees Of
the office are quietly informed how
they can be accommodated with n loan
for small bonus. On the first OF every
month the pool divides its profits.
These organizations are usually short
lived. as they. become unpopular when
the business begins to grow large. The
death of one fake association is rapidly
followed by the birth OF successor,
differing from its predecessor In name

ahled to ply their trade without much

DEMOCRATIC POLICY INDICATED

I lie wisdom of the policies advocated
by the Democratic party within the
past decade. and which were at the
time opposed by the Republicans. is
being demonstrated by the trend of
public opinion along the lines of those
principles which were paramount in
the Democratic partys platforms.
The most profound thinkers in both
political parties now concede tnat the
Democratic demand for a tariff for
revenue only is the proper policy, and
but for the evil but powerful influence
OF those persons in Congress VINO are
ever ready to sacrifice the public good
for private gain, measure would pass
in this Congress which would so amend
the present tariff law as to remove the
protective duties from trust Controll-
ed articles. But the protected interests
and their offspring the trusts, have
such control OF the Republican party
that any measure contemplating a re-
vision of the tariff is likely to be sup
pressed.
In another important regard is the
Democratic position being vindicated
and that is the claim made by that
party that the prosperity OF the coun-
try depended in great measure upon
the quantity of money which was in
circulation in the country. This pro-
position was fiercely condemned Dy
the Republicans, who claimed that
quality and not quantity was the ele-
ment which entered into the ueter-
mination of that question. But time
has proved the wisdom of the Demo-
cratic theory.
The Western idea OF the Increased
volume of currency promoting bust
ness and bringing prosperity never
was and never will be more clearly
demonstrated than it has been shown
to the entire world at this writing.
The quantitive theory OF money is
daily proving Its correctness, ana the
Democrats of the West who have stood
by it confidently and loyalty are wit
Messing their opponents confounded by
the very metal that they rested their
arguments upon 1t is not only instruc-
tive to Republicans, but 1t certainly is
gratifying to Democrats to study the
United States Treasury report which
shows not only great increase in vol
ume of all business affairs. consequent
employment of labor and resulting
prosperity, but steady increase in
per capita circulation of the country.
No stronger confirmation of the Demo
cratic financial faith can be found than
the official reports OF the Republican
administration upon this point Thirty

volume OF currency since 1896. and
