BHER'S OPPORTUNITY.

President Baer, of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad company, in reply
ing to correspondent who urged him
to settle the coal strike on the basis of
practical Christianity, made this inter-
esting observation:
The rights and interests Of the labor
ing man will be protected and cared
for, not by the labor agitators, but by
the Christian men to whom God mills
infinite wisdom has given control of
the property interests of the country.
Pray earnestly that the right may tri-
umph, always remembering that the
Lord God omnipotent still reigns and
that His reign is one of law and order,
and not of violence and crime.
These very worthy and impressive
sentiments indicate that the president
of the R@ading railroad company is a
man of marked piety. There will be
need of great deal of practical Chris
tianity next winter if the mine opera
tors do not soon resume mining.
When the nipping frosts strike New
York and Philadelphia and Chicago and
St. Louis, not to mention other great
centers of population, and the people
who buy coal by the bucket are invest
ing their money in fuel, it is hoped that
President Baer will not forget the ad-
mirable sentiments recorded above.
From those to whom Providence has
given control of the coal mines of the
country much will be expected 1t is
pleasant to learn that President Baer
realizes his responsibilities and is pre-
pared to measure up to them. He will
have abundant opportunities to do
goodJ if the strike continues.

Reforms and Human Nature.

Occasionally events crystalline so
that the reformer can come into power
through an extraordinary revulsion Of
the people against their masters. but
this revulsiOn has to be produced by
events rather than words, says the
Political Science Quarterly. A few
men of the dominant party sent TO
prison will do more to cause a reyul-
sion of feeling than all the arguments
or newspaper exposes in the world
The reformer may then get his innings,
and if he makes some effort to under
stand the human nature that peryades
the greatest part of the city pOpula ton
he may remain longer than a brief sea-
son, but the odds are against it for a
long time still to come for the reformer
is as yet constitutionally unable to fol-
low up the detail necessary for political
popularity and success. He relies on
ideas, not on men. He does not realize
that the majority of citizens still live
in a world Of personalities. not of prin-
ciples.

affairs. # the Republicans do not
get money with which to run their
campaign, they have to depend almost
entirely upon the efforts of President
Roosevelt's administration to pull
them through.
We are inclined to doubt whether
the trusts are so Indifferent to the
Republican cause as represented. They
surely can not take President Roose-
velt's campaign talk about them seri-
ously, or apprehend for moment any
real inconvenience from the proceed
ings against the Northern Securities
company and the beef trust. However,
it is possible that the magnates may
have concluded to give the Republican
managers scare, intending to come to
their rescue before election, and in the
meantime secure additional guarantees
of continued protection.
But they certainly could not ask any
thing better than the constitutional
amendment policy which the President
has announced with such a flourish Of
trumpets. 1t is in their power to pre-
vent the adoption of such an amend
ment for at least a generation to come,
barring a revolution, and although
capital is proverbially ''timid" and
easily frightened" it is surely not so
cowardly as to be scared by the empty
talk of a. man who, having the power
to check them, lacks either the desire
or the courage to exercise it.

REPUBLICANS AND TRUSTS.

A Washington dispatch published in
The Citizen some days ago represents
Wall street, "by which is meant the
great industrial and moneyed interests
of the country" as either Indifferent or
hostile to President Roosevelt and the
Republican party on account of the for
mer's course In stirring up the trust
question" We repeat an extract:
Representative Babcocl1, chairman OF
this committee, is reported to be at his
wits end. His treasury is empty. and
there is no prospect of it being filled.
Great financial, transportation and oth-
er corporate interests that have thus
far supplied the money needed in Re
publican campaigns have closed the
lids OF their cash boxes with snap In
the faces of collectors of Republican
funds. This is a very serious state Of

ing whatever could be done without
their consent The President asked
the question, why should he essay the
heroic role of attempting to lead the
party in a path it does not wish to
travel? Mr. Roosevelt remarked that
he already had on his hands in the
Cuban reciprocity program about all
he could manage, and he could not
afford to complicate his party leader
ship by taking on new sponsibilities.
No doubt that is very good descrip-
ton of the Presidents sentiments ex-
cept as to Cuban reciprocity, and that
is the only matter in which President
Roosevelt has ever shown any ten
dency whatever toward any revision of
the tariff. And what indication is
there that he is persisting in his advo-
cacy of Cuban reciprocity? If he has
done anything whatever to give the
country any evidence that he is still
for reciprocity with Cuba, it has es-
capped our notice.
On the contrary, when he sent his
special message to Congress, he took the
trouble to have it publicly announced
that he did not propose to do any
thing further for Cuban reciprocity It
was on the reduction of the tariff in
the Cuban reciprocity bill only that he
incurred the opposition of his party
leaders. They fought that reduction
as an assault on protection, and de-
feated it. And since then President
Roosevelt personally and through 9TH
ers has been explaining that he ia
vored professionalism can hardly
mean less than that he is not working
much for reciprocity.
If the protection benefciaries ever
had any doubts on the subject, they
were certainly set aside by the recent
speech of Secretary Shaw, and there is
clearly no reason why anybody should
imagine that President Roosevelt IA
vored tariff revision. What he favors
is the adoption of platform in 1904
that will be satisfactory to the tariff
barons, so that they will not antag-
Onize his nomination for President.

I'm ADMIRABLE SELECTION.

The selection of l.. H. Manning for
joint councilman from Pima and Santa
Cruz counties is almost ideal in it's
wisdom, propriety and practical utility
Mr.. Manning stands for all that is best
in Arizona. He is a public-spirited
citizen, an enterprising business man,
and the possesor of rare ability and
common sense.
Complaint has been made heretofore
of the character of the men some
times selected to represent constituent
cies in the Arizona legislature. This
complaint will not be available in the
case of L. H. Manning. He measures
up to the highest standard of the men
chosen for legislative duty in the old
est States. In character, in ability, in
knowledge of the duties of the legisla-
tor, he is thoroughly equipped and
can and will perform valuable service
for the people.
Mr.. Manning is no mushroom DEM
ocrat He is dyed in the wool and of
the old school, 1t might be said that
he inherited his Democracy His
father was for many years a repre-
sentative in Congress from Mississippi,
and one of the strongest and truest
democrats in that body. Mr.. Man
nfng's selection for the Territorial
council is distinct advance in the tone
and spirit of Arizona public life He
will make his mark in the legislature
and serve his people faithfully. Every
Democrat in the counties of Pima and
Santa Cruz should take pleasure in
giving Mr. Manning cordial and earn
est support He has every qualifica-
tion for the place for which he has
been designated. He is able, faithful
and intelligent; he is energetic and in
dustrious. He has been successful in
the conduct of his private affairs, and
will be equally successful in the dis
charge of his public duties.

THE HIGH LICENSE QUESTION.

In referring the decision of the
high license question to a vote of the
people, the members of the city coun-
ell merely attempted to evade their
own responsibility. 1t was the duty
of the council to face the question
squarely, and if majority favored it,
pass the ordinance.
But since the council failed to do its
duty, the people must now do their
duty. Provision was made by the
council for the holding of special
election to obtain the views of the
people, within thirty days. This
brings the matter squarely up to the
jndividual voter
If the people of Tucson desire to
wipe out the dives and dens, they will
now have the opportunity. With a
license charge of 5000 year for the
privilege of engaging in the liquor
traffic it is more than propable that
twenty saloons will continue to -four
ish in Tucson; with that number there
will be no danger of any one suffering
from thirst. The irresponsible, dis
graceful and dangerous dives will be
wiped out and the respectable saloons
will survive. The people must now
prepare to do their duty effectively.
Their motto should be: Exterminate
the dives.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

J. F. Wilson of Yayapai county is
the candidate of the united Democracy
of Arizona for Delegate to Congress.
Mr.. Wilson entered the Territorial
convention with a majority of the del
egates pledged to favor his nomination.
He has been fairly nominated, and Is
entitled to the support of every DEM
ocrat in Arizona.
Mr.. Wilson was not the choice OF
this newspaper for the nomination.
The Citizen preferred Charles M.
Shannon. Freedom of choice before
convention is the attribute of every
Democrat. When the convention
makes it's selection, individual prefer
ence ceases.
Mr.. Wilson is in every way qualified
to discharge the duties of Delegate to
Congress. He has served the people
in Congress heretofore with conspicu-
GUS fidelity. He is able, he is faithful,
he is true to the principles of the DEM
ocratic party. The best interests Of
all the people will be subserved by his
election He is entitled to and will
receive the support of every true
Democrat.

Policemen In Mexicn.

Gentlemen In Mexico tip hats when
ever they see each other, they shake
hands whenever they meet and part,
they do not consider it bad form to
stand in line on the sidewalks and
stare at the ladies, they wear their
hats in a theater until the curtain rises,
and, moreover, they put them on be-
tween the acts and stand up to look
at the audience. and after a separa-
ton they embrace and pat each other
on the back if they happen to be init
mate friends. .
They smoke everywhere, even in
some theaters. They never carry bun
dies in the street, but each is attended
ly servant, who carries even the
smallest package. They are wonder
fully courteous to each other, and two
friends will spend good deal of time
in deciding which shall enter room
or carriage first.
Finally, every Mexican gentleman
when strolling on street insists on
giving the inside of the walk to his
companion as mark OF politeness
This point is quickly decided If there
is difference in station or age. but if
there is not, and the two friends go
down street and cross often SO that
new discussion as to which shall oc-
cupy the inside becomes necessary at
every corner.

The Flag at Half Mast.

The custom of showing the flag at
half mast originated from the way at
sea of showing the pre-eminence one
ship had over the other in time of war
fare. The vanquished always had to
lower it's flag, while the victor's would
be raised as high as possible in exul-
tation. TO lower a flag Is an act of
submission or betokens respect to su
perlor or is a signal OF distress. The
hosting of a flag half mast high came
to be used. therefore, as a sign of
mourning and respect.

Welded TO MONOPOLY.

Mr.. Walter Wellman, the usually
well informed Washington correspond
ent of the Chicago Record Herald, a
Republican newspaper, makes formal
announcement that President Roose-
welt has decided not to lead the Re-
publican party in a fight for revision
of the tariff. He describes the Presi-
dent as talking to Republican visitor
in this strain:
Mr.. Roosevelt said that if he were
to try to lead tariff revision move
ment he would only break his neck, as
the party would not follow him. The
interests which are opposed to revision
especially revision with reduction, were
so intrenched in the Senate that moth

The sentiment of the country is very
strong against the attitude of the
operators in the coal strike, but that
does not make a particle of difference
so long as the operators choose to
maintain their attitude. And why?
Simply because the law makes no pro-
vision for forcing them to come into
court and settle their dispute as other
disputes are settled. There ought to
be compulsory arbitration.

The Cleaners.

The old custom of cleaning il the
harvest fields. which recalls the Bio
lcaI story of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England. and in Hertford-
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbor-
ing counties, as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August,
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by Qae the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves which they carry IN
their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails. all
the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads OF the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it for
their chickens. The gathering Of
half peck is usually full days work
for a child, and often woman spends
a whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however. is looked
upon somewhat in the light of picnic.
The mother and children leave home in
the morning. take with them food for
the day and stay out in the fields until
nightfall.

Humboldt, an authority on atmos-

of heavy hailstorm which passed
over Tuscany on March II, 1913, every
ice globule of the entire fall being Of
beautiful orange color. Five years
prior to this extraordinary event Car
niola, Germany, was treated to fall
of five feet of blood red snow, fol
lowed by slight fall of blue hail
which is said to have given "the whole
Sace of the earth an exceedingly Gu
rious aspect" Red hailstones fell at
Amsterdam in 1926, at London in 1868

Coleman, for twenty-nine years presi-

social favorite, man of great personal
magnetism and princely in manner to

last evening from the effects of carboliC

call in Chester Moore, medical stu

Mr.. Coleman had been deeply affect
ed by his loss of the Pacific Transfer
Company's contract with the Southern
Pacific Railroad after having been con-
nected with that concern for so many
years He brooded over the breaking
off of a long connection with a rail-
road which he had believed must be for
all time. In his brooding over the
change of affairs he grew morose and
imaginative and ultimately his melan-
cholia took the form of Authorizations

reason, certain that his sight was leav-
