THE HIGH LICENSE ORDINANCE.

The decent people Of Tucson have
10 reason TO be dissatisfied with the
action of the city council at last nights
meeting. A majority Of the members
declared themselves unhesitatinSly III
favor of the Buchanan high license or
dinance. and this means that 1t will be
PASSED. Messrs. Buehman, Barkley,
Shand and Anderson put themselves
squarely on record as favoring the
tagonize it, and no one expected that
Reid would do otherwise than he did
that is, represent the dives and slums.
With a clear majority Of the council
in favor of the measure. neither the
sentiment nor the fund" of the dives
can prevail against It. Messrs. Bueh-
man, Barkley, Shand and Anderson de-
serve we'll OF the people. and their con
duct will not be forgotten. We be-
lieve that with an expressed majority
in favor of it. the ordinance could with
propriety have been passed last night,
but there can be no reasonable objer
tion to its reference 10 a committee
for examination and report. The
members of the license committee are
REQ, Buehman and Barkley Reid Is
opposed to the measure. and Buchanan
and Barkley favor it. There should
be a meeting of the committee without
delay The people will expect that
Buehman and Barkley will not permit
Reid to delay action. The majority
of the committee must rule. and when
the majority take action they should
report to the mayor aud request that
he call special meeting of the council
to consider their report.
The eyes of the city are on the city
council The people are in earnest
They want to exterminate the murder
dens and make Tucson a law-abiding
orderly city. The dives and the slums
and the dregs can hire advocates to
plead for them at so much word, but
the decent majority will rule this
town. Decency is openly and cour-
ageously represented in the council by
at least four members, who have thrice
publicly declared themselves TO he in
favor of the Buchanan ordinance.
Neither the fund" OF the Barrio Libre
nor the brazen walls of the dives can
tamper with their integrity.
The good people of the town can on
tertain hope and content The city
council Will do its duty. the high IL
cense ordinance will become law and
the dives and murder dens will soon
be things Of the past-dark reminis-
cences, that the wholesome thought of
the community will soon wonder why
they were ever tolerated

REPUBLICANS and ARIZONA.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat presents
some fancy figures and arguments in
explanation OF an assertion that Ari-
zona was preparing to enter the Repub-
lican column. In the course Of a re-
view of the situation in which play is
given more freely TO imagination than
to fact, the Globe-Democrat writer
says:
Mr.. Smith will not be candidate for
reelection. He says that he does not
care to return as a Delegate, and un-
less the Statehood bill is passed at the
coming session of Congress he will
retire from politics II the bill Is
passed, Mr.. Smith will probably be a
candidate for the United States Senate.
In guarded manner Mr. Smith admits
that the Republicans are stronger IN
the Territory than they have been be-
fore In years. and have a good fighting
chance OF winning in the coming cleo
ton. The Statehood question, he
says. has something to do with It. The
impression which prevails that Re-
publican majority In the Territory
would aid the Statehood bill may in
6uence sufficient votes to give the Re-
publicans victory.
We regard It entirely safe to say that
Mark Smith, neither directly nor in
directly nor by implication, admitted

Occupation the Important Thing
Marriage WITT Take Care of Itself.
A self-respecting girl will find an
occupation and strive to become in
trested in it and to perfect herself
in it. There is no highly wrought
emotionalism which brings more
solid and abiding happiness than the
consciousness that one is daily using
ones power for the real profit of
needy world. This is especially true
when one is getting we'll paid for her
work. 1t is worth, perhaps, in the
long run quite as much as that at
tractive billing and cooing of which
our daughters seem likely to get less
| and less until the pendulum swings
back again as it may and bachelor
dom begins to seem less desirable TO
our young men.
With the better training of our boys
and with the higher notions of
morality which should come with the
deepening of our civilization, mar
riage ought to reestablisn it's place
as the happiest and nobiest estate yet
devised for men and women: In the

the language of this tribe, the Wong
ei-bong, which is situated in the
Began river region, the boomerang is
called womera.
l shall therefore call it a womera
The womera is made from what is
technically known as an elbow from
the kurrawung tree, and sometimes
from the yarran and myau trees. All
Of these trees belong to the acacia
tribe, and have sweet-scented woods
The black fellow having found a
suitable elbow, chops it out of the
tree, and, as it is generally too heavy
too carry home, trims it on the spot
into the rough outline of the forth
coming weapon.
After about two hours labor the
womera will be reduced to three or
| four pounds weight, but it is still
| long way from being a finished
weapon. AS it now appears it is
| fat heavy club, longer and thinner
at enc arm than at the other The
black is decidedly lazy specimen OF
the human species, and he will as
| OFTEN as not lay aside his uncOm-
pleted weapon for a week or perhaps
2 longer period. When he resumes
work the wood will have become
hard and dry, and never once occurs
to him that he is now paying for his
former Incidence. Time, however. is
lof little or no consequence to the
black
After some further pairing down
the weapon is charred all over, and
this part of the work is quite skill
fully done. no one part being more
burned than another The charcoal
lis Clipped off, and the black fellow
then ticks the weapon all over with
his tongue and places it in smoky
fire of green bougs, which warns 1t
and makes it quite pliabIe.

Berlin newspapers have been max

ton, recently inaugurated in Germany
by women against the mustache and
beard habit, which has sprung into
existence since the kaiser set the
example by allowing his beard to
grow. These women rebel against
men wearing such adornments, and
declare they are relics Of barbarism.
The kaiser's barbar was interviewed
on the subject, and unhesitatingly de-
clared that as long as the ruler of
Germany continued to set this fashion
all the women in Germany could not
induce the best of the men to go clean
shaver. He added that the beardIess
face had come to stand for cab
drivers and buffers.
