Shouldn't Be too Severe,

Editor shepherd, of the Warrensburg fined $500 for criticising the only insti- tuition in the state which sets itself above criticism, the supreme court. says editorially in his paper that the people of Missouri should not be too severe in condemning the court. Tt has sev- eral precedents to govern it's action,
 MT. Shepherd declares. "Only recent ly several Chinese editors were arrest ed in Shanghai for advocating reforms in government, and were severely pun ished. Evidently the authorities there are firmly determined to punish any person who does anything to beat down the respect of the people, not only for their courts, but for the more sacro- sanct officials, as well. To be sure, the punishment in China was more severe, being long terms in prison and decapi- tation, but even this should create d favorable sentiment in favor Of the Missouri court. It shows that the judges while upholding the inherent and absolute right to punish, were inn bued with that sentiment of mercy which always fills the hearts of truly great men. Think of il, they might have ordered the marshal to decapitate the two offending editors in the pres ence of the court, and who could have said them nay?"-Kansas City Journal.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Loss of Wages.

The Evening Worlds figures showing in detail the loss of wages sustained by employees during the hundred days of the building tie-up are momentous. In that period of idleness 125,000 men have become poorer individually by nearly $500: in the aggregate they have lost s6O, ,000, 000
 This stoppage Of the circulating med ium necessarily causes a disturbance of retail trade. The vast sum of unpaid wages remains in the banks inactive in stead of being pumped through the ar terieS to it's remotest destination. even to those little capillaries of the com mercial system, the basement grocery, the delicatessen dealer. the wurst ges chaeft. The decrease of their trade di minishes straightway the volume of business of the wholesale houses and the disturbance begun at the extrem- ities extends to the head.
 In this falling off of trade it is inter- esting to observe that the extra bar keeper is losing his job for lack of GUS tom to attend to and that the breweries are laying off employees. There is time-honored belief that when a work ingman is idle he drinks. These facts furnish agreeable disproof of the cHdrSe- 1he cultiHS Gll oi liquor liiul- cates a temperance on the strikers part that argues well for his sanity.
 Liquor is Q luxury not usually the first to go. Are the dealers in other luXuries likely to feel the influence of the strengthened circumstances in the employees home? There will be less money to spend on the theatres, at the restaurants, for jewelry. for new clothes. Tailor and dressmaker, florist, and chemist will all feel it.
 There are as great possibilities of hardship in a deficit of s60.000,000 as of prosperity in a surplus of that size New York Evening World.

The Actual College Graduate.

In his baccalaureate sermon to the graduating classes of Columbia univer- sity, the Rev. pr. George A.

"Pete" Shouldn't Procrastinate.

Our old friend, King Peter. is said to be very weary of his job down in Bel grade. and of the uncertainties attend ing the existence of a ruling monarch between the hours of 12 p. m. and 3:30 a. m. Moreover Peter complains with great frequency of the demands made by the gentlemen who so considerably shortened the life of his predecessor, and who are often found tinkering with the royal coffee pot, examining their revclvers and putting a fine wire edge On their rapiers. So Peter has announc- ed that unless the cares of state are perceptibly frightened he will be under the necessity of abdicating in favor of somebody who enjoys the excitement of royal Servian life. One of the promi- nent requisites for a monarch in Servia. is to know just when to abdicate. If his late majesty had not put off until o'clock that night what might have been done at 11:30, he might be enjoy ing himself at this moment in a semi respectable way. But if Peter is deter mined to abdicate, it may not be wise to mention it until he gets out of the country.-Chicago Evening Post.

The Building of the Dam.

Two of our Phoenix contemporaries, impatient at the dilatorlness of the secretary of the interior in the matter of actually ordering the building of the Tonto Basin reservoir or of entering into contract with the Water Users association have undertaken the job themselves oi building it-on paper.
 They are not exactly working in harmony: it is sort of a competitive enterprise but they appear to be mak- ing progress. Any days low descend ing sun which does not view something done On the dam Is counted by them as lost.
 There was never worthier journal istfc enterprise than that in which they are so industriously engaged and we look forward with confidence to the day when the crops of the now parched call them blessed.
 We believe. though, that if our con- temporaries should surcease from their efforts at reclamation the dam would be built anyhow. and perhaps just as quickly. There is not man, woman or child in the valley who is not sure of the reservoir. But it is brought no nearer by the publication of rumors of progress of which the association itself has not been informed. The Repub- lican has from time to time made its readers acquainted with each step that has actually been taken. Those that are yet to be taken are only subjects Of confident conjecture.
 The only tangible evidence of the early building of the dam to date was the buying of supplies and material for the construction of a lumber road from Livingston to the Sierra Anchas. where it Is given out that the govern ment is going to put up saw mills for getting out lumber for the dam. The Republican had the honor of first dis seminating information of that step. That Icok=d like business and it is busi- ness. All the other work that had been done was of the nature of pre- liTninary work which might or which might not be carried any further Pre- paration for the procuring of material is not preliminary work, but may be regarded as part of the actual con- struction.
 Since then have come reports of the ordering of telephone line. That is

Folks Far Reaching Influence.

Such vigorous vindications of the sanctity of the law as Circuit Attorney Folk has been securing in Missouri have an indirect effect which is perhaps more far-reaching than their direct. Just now there are indications that St. Louis is about to abandon the policy of non-enforcement of excise laws so long in practice there, and which has earned for her the distinction of being one of the wide open" towns of the West. The campaign has begun with the wine rooms,' which in St. Louis represent the means of approach to vice of all sorts. The old system was to permit these places to go on under the protection of the police and the poli- ticians of the ward. Occasionally, when complaints grew too numerous, a H- cense was taken away for a day or two, but it was invariably handed back again. either to the former proprietor or to his chief bartender. Now the wine rooms are being closed and kept closed in the face of all kinds of threats and protests. Another instance of the in fluence of MT. Folks crusade is reported by St. Louis paper. A member of the municipal legislature was observed by d reporter at the ticket office in the railway station. What" exclaimed the reporter, you don't mean to say you pay your fare?" "Oh, yes I do now" replied the delegate.-New York Evening Post

Georsia's New Warrant Law.

Georgia's contingent of the grand army of tramps is likely to move on immediately. In fact, not only the tramps, but all other vagrants are go- ing to have many infelicities if they persist in abiding in that delightful commonwealth. Get out or go to work is the meaning of the new vagrant law. All idlers who have no visible means of support must go to work, either in the capacity of wage earners or as lob orers for the state at large.
 Among the various classes of persons coming under the provisions of this statute are "all persons able to work and who do not work, but hire out their minor children and live on their wages" The intent of this is good, but it will not be found easy of execution. A father has a lawful right to live on the earnings of his minor children, no mat ter how able bodied lie may be. Thou sands of fathers in manufacturing states are thus supported. It may be, and in most instances it undoubtedly is, a moral wrong, but it has legal sane tion in all the states. A father may lawfully hire out any child whom the law of state permits 70 be employed; may collect and spend such childs wages. no matter whether the age of the child be ten years or twenty years and eleven months. This has always been lawful in all countries, and we do not believe it can be made crime. But state legislatures can and ought to put a period to child labor.-Wash- ingtOn HoSt

A Need of Care.

Until a change in atmospheric con- ditions comes, the people of Phoenix ought to restrain a wild desire to keep themselves filled with ice water and so-called cooling drinks, especially alcoholic drinks. A cold drink does not cool; it heats. It may be satisfying for the moment but it may render one insensible to heat or cold through all eternity Hot tea or coffee, hot water and moreover hot baths enable one to withstand heat more than all the cool ing drinks that were ever connected.
 It used to be the boast of the citizens of Phoenix in the hearing of strangers that there had never been a case of heat prostration in the valley. At that time the boast was statement of a fact. A few persons on the flag end of a debauch had succumbed, for their systems had been so enfeebled that they were unable to withstand the as saults of the heat. Men in normal condition could work with impunity in HIS degrees thanks to an almost en-
  was therefore one to be proud of.
 But within the last forty-eight hours there have been in and about Phoenix six cases of heat prostration three O. which have been fatal. In one of these cases, at least. the victim had not been drinking, so that it may be said to have been a pure case of heat pros tration for which no palliating circum- stance could ba offered in behalf of the climate.
 During the last week the temperature has not been as high as it has ire quently been for even longer periods 1T. other midsummers but there is no period on record in which 50 high temperature here was accompanied by so great humidity. Yesterday the off, eial thermometer registered 109; at the same time the humidity was 3S. That is a dangerous combination wherever it is found, either in Phoenix or Chi cago, and those who wish to live out their days should govern themselves accordingly.
 As we have said, let all cold. or cX- tremely cold drinks, be avoided and above all alcoholic drinks. Let hot daily and to those who follow this in- junction the rest of the summer will be sweet and pleasant

probably true and if so, it is not a part of the preliminary work either.
 All this is confirmatory of the con- fidence which the people of the valley have all along felt in the efforts Of MT. B. A. Fowler and MT. George H. Maxwell.
 It makes no difference at just what date the building of the dam will be ordered. There is no doubt that it will be ordered and we believe that the the department and the Water Users association will be anticipated by a great deal of permanent work.

Social Side of
u. D. c. Convention.

The work accomplished by the Ala
bama Daughters of the Confederacy, at
their annual convention the past week
in Tuscaloosa, was of a patriotic
nature and the routine of the conven-
ton was dispatched with the most re-
markable promptness by its brilliant pre-
siding officer, Mrs. Andrew j. Dowdell,
yet the social side of the convention was
a charming one, in spite of the enormous
amount of work transacted and the adj
verse weather conditions.
The Alabama division includes in its
membership many of the states most
prominent women, and as an organiza-
ton is one of the most influential in the
south.
Among the distinguished women at the
convention, and one admired on all occas-
ions was the beautiful Mrs. Clifford A.
Lanier of Montgomery.
At the reception at Mrs. Edward Shows
Mrs. Lanier wore a beautiful toilette of
white lace and chiffon, and on another
occasion she was perfectly gowned In
