garians, Montenegrins and Servians, a
class of people Who have hitherto not

The classes of immigrants now enter

tionably less desirable than the classes
of people forming the greater portion
Of the earlier immigration movement
They are less Industrious and bring
into the country a lower standard OF
life Official statistics show that they
are far more illiteratc and posses on
an average less than one-third as much
capital as the immigrants rrom West
ern Europe.
1t is this change in the character of
the immigrants, even more than the In
crease in volume, that has aroused So
cial, political and economical questions
WORRY of the most serious consideration
by all thoughtful persons.

Tucson Post: George Scholefield has sold 0O0 head of San Pedro valley cattle to California parties. They will be shipped from Tucson on January 10th.

 Stockman: Wolf Sachs, the popular Tempe cattle feeder, sold five car loads of feeders on Friday of last week to T. F Judge, of San Francisco. They are for shipment to Santa Barbara California.
 Stockman: ] T. Moore, of near Tempe, has rented two ranches of over 400 acres in the Verde Valley, about seven miles from Jerome, which he will devote to truck farm ing and dairying for that copper camp. The combination ought to be paying one.
 Kingman Arrow: Asa Harris was in town from Cane Springs this week. He has purchased all the irons, horses and cattle and Big Cane Springs from Mrs. Ralph Buckley, and was here for the pur- pose of getting the necessary papers for the transfer.
 Florence Tribune For several days this week Judge Doan was wrestling over the much mixed cat tie case of Juan Espinosa vs. Shields x Price, and at last decided 1t a draw.

millions acres owned in fee; about seven-eighths of which is located m the State of Sonora, Mexico, and the remainder in the territory of Arizona. Mr. Greene'S purchases in Arizona consist of several con firmed Mexicanand Spanish grants. First. he bought the Babocomari, a tract of land only three miles wide but thirtv-six miles long; this orant covers the whole of the Ba- bocomari river from its source to its mouth; the river flows through a valley lying between the Must anr mountains on the north. and the Huachucas and Canelos on the south. The valley and mesa lands average a width of fifteen miles, and as there is no water outside Of the river. Mr. Greene, in addition to the 10000 acres that he owns Tn fee controls over three hundred and fifty thousand acres of adloin- ing range land. On the bouuda- ries of his Arizona lands are now being built five strand wire fences with redwood and cedar posts one rod apart. Good fences make good neighbors, and it is greatly in evidence that Mir Greene does not intend that his neighbors shall have any other excuse than to be good.

States and that Colombia was very desir-
GUS that our government should COM
plete the canal and would ask a very
moderate compensation for the right Of
way There is talk of referring to Pres
ident Roosevelt the selection of route
and, if that is done, the work will be
greatly expedited, for the president would
waste no time over the question, which
he fully compartments.
The Walker commission having de-
cided that both routes are perfectly
practicable and feasible. the question of
cost, respectively, is the most important
point to be decided. Senator Morgan's
statement that the Panama route presents
insurmountable engineering difficulties is
contrary to the view of the Isthmian
canal commission, which has shown that
the point always urged by directors to
the route, the Chagres river floods, is
no difficulty at all, but that they afford
the requisite water with which to oper-
ate The canal and can be easily brought
under control.
The country generally would, no doubt
be perfectly satisfied to have the presi-
dent decide as to the route. and it is tC
be hoped that to his Judgment this i'm
portant matter will be referred. And the
sooner the better. The aimless talk OF
half a century will be silenced.

The MINISTER AND GOLF
.ay a minister play golf?

May minister play golf? 49,.
The question has been raised by the
action Of the Baptist Church, at West
Harwich, Mass. in dispensing with the
services Of the Rev. Ernest L. Chase be-
cause he would play golf-and croquet.
At the first glance, it is natural to say
that congregation thatinvites a minister
to depart because he plays golf is narrow
and prejudiced. Moreover, it seems that
the personal liberty, which a minister is
entitled to enjoy as much as anyone else,
gave Mr.. Chase the right to play golf,
without inviting the approval of the con-
gregation. ...... ...... s. ...
But, while the action of the church may
have been only the expression of an un-
worthy rural prejudice against the game
of caddies, brasseys, tees, etc., prejudice
born Of vague computation as to how
much better golf time might bes devoted
to herdirg cows, or picking boulders out
of stony fields, there may have been an
abuse of personal liberty by Mr.. Chase.
Mayhap Mr.. Chase had become mono
maniac. How do we know that while he
was absorbed in the great problem of
getting ball into a hole his flock was not
neglected? How do we know that he did
not take for the golf links time that
should have been devoted to pastoral
calls? How many persons may nave
waited for his advice, and help from sinful
ways while he was straining every nerve
to make the round in one play less than
the record? How many times was he
late at weddings? How many times were
his sermons the product of his fatigue,
while his energy went to golf?
We do not rashly say that the congre-
cation was justified in parting with Mr..
Chase, but we appeal for elaboration in
judging it. We have known the golf-fend,
and we know full we'll how unlike his bet
ter self he may become.

Rich Richards Almanac.

Poor Richards Almanac had tremendous
circulation in the days when Ben Franklin
used to issue it. That is, it was tremendous
for those days, although, of course, 1t could
not vie with the Philistine in popularity.
Ben never sent out 100000 copies. Neither
did the sage care whether it was hand made
or foot made. To be sure, DR.. Franklin had
corns on his hands from pulling and hauling
an old press, but lie was because there were
no steam presses on the market then. The
fathers bought the Doctors publication be-
cause it had wise maxims and advise that
found Judgment on their minds and helped
to make the Yankee nation what Is was and
is in the matter Of a wooden nutmeg COM
mercialism that is now causing wide spread
squeal from Europe, where they want to do
the same thing and are not quite quick
enough.
The nation mas progressed to-day to point
where it needs Rich Richards almanac.
Rich Richard needs advise and advise is
something that anybody is willing to give
freely. Here are few items: s.
Only the very rich man can afford to wear
ady-made clothes. e s.
A rich man is known by the company Of

REMopEL1Na THE CONSULAR SERVICE

Prospects are said to be good that the
present congress will pass the Lodge bill
for the reorganization of the consular
service Of the United States. This bill
provides for the establishment of the con-
sular service upon classified and per-
manent tenure basis. It is understood to
meet with the approval Of the consular
service experts.
The most prominent features Of the bill
are provisions for admission to the serv
ice by examination, it's division into
ranks; the salaries being graded accord
ing to rank instead of according to the
port of assignment: an arrangement LOT
the temporary transfer of a consul to
duty in the state or other departments, II
the good of the service can thereby pc
promoted, and provision for the admis-
sion Of members Of the state department
classified service to the consular service
without examination.
AS American foreign trade has leaped
forward in the last few years public opin-
ion has come to recognize that consuls
are very important officers, too impor-
tant to be used as means of giving mere
politicians opportunities for what they re-
gard as vacations abroad in the service or
the government. The consul is the mis-
sionary and guardian of trade. In these
days of complicated business organlza-
ton and intense international competl-
ton for. markets, the well-equipped, cool,
iudicious, resolute and ambitious consul
is a tower of strength to his country's
trade and prestige To attract the best
men, men who wish to make the service a
career, it must hold out fair pay at tho
start. the prospect of promotion IN rank
and increase of pay, and OF a term IN
office that shall only be limited by Mt
ness for it's duties. That is precisely
what the present bill does. The efficient
consul is assured of promotion in rank
and increase in pay, whether he happens
to be In some favorable port or not, and
he will not have to scheme for trans
fer to better paid port to get the ad-
vance he is entitled to.
It is not certain that a mere examina-
ton system will always give the best
men, but 1t will give better men than
the present system, and it. is quite likely
that so many good, men will compete at
and pass the examinations that there Will
be considerable room for consideration of
personal qualities and those qualifications
for office that can not properly be ascer-
tanned by examination. -
Qualification for the work, organization,
ambition, esprit de corps are some of the
distinguishing features of successful
American industry and trade. We must
have the same qualities in that govern
mental service that is the scout, the ex-
plorer the conserver and the adviser of
foreign trade. Those we shall have if the
consular service is remodeled on the lines
OF the Lodge bill.

CASE OF JUDGE MOVES

The Journal has been sparing in
it's references to the case of Judge
Noyes. The subject is not a happy one
spect for and confidence in the courts, es-
pecially the federal courts, where per-
manent tenure at liberal salaries tends to
remove the judges from so many Of the
temptations they are exposed to In state
courts, that it is an ungrateful task to
discuss a subject which, whatever the con-
clusion, can not be passed upon without
condemning some judge, If Judge Noyes
is innocent of the dark charges made
against him, then the San Francisco
judges who condemned him must be as
bad as he is represented. If Judge Noyes
was not guilty of a conspiracy with
Alex Mckenzie and others to defraud, the
San Francisco judges are guilty of being
parties to conspiracy to ruin the judge.
It is much against Judge Noyes that he
was such persistent hunter Of the Office
he gained. Lawyers desiring to sit on
federal benches should be more dignified
in their methods than Judge Noyes was.
He Schemed ana planned 10 gel lie Nolue
judgeship as much as men usually do to
get those offices which have been COM
monty regarded as political plumber. 1t
was against him, too, that he made Alex
Mckenzie receiver in the mining cases.
That appointment looks like mere po-
litical payment. So we can say this much:
That whether guilty or innocent, Judge
Noyes invited, in large measure, the fate
that is his. Under the conditions the
Judges enemies had favorable openings
for their plots-and in any event 1t Is
fair to conclude that they were un-
scrupulous. That the court which con-
demned him was malicious seems to be
shown by the deliverance Of that body in
the Mckenzie case.
