the schools, which now cost $4,000, 900
year, and other purposes. They ad-
mire the huge funded debt which after
deducting the sinking fund is 100000

nation They say that If Chicago could
go into debt to the same extent pro-
portionately, all the present and most
OF the future needs OF the city as re-
CARDS Improvements could be taken
care of.
Yet it appears from Mayor McClel-
lan's message that there are not
enough sittings in the schools although
new buildings costing 100000 were
which is made up Of $500 officers and
men, is too small. There is need of
more firemen. The water supply will
have to be increased al an expense of
800, O000, 900.
Observe the inevitable consequences
of a city which is usually considered
something to rejoice over. 1t results
in demands upon the municipal depart
ments and revenues which they are I'M
able to meet. Then there is general
public dissatisfaction when the taxes
are increased. Those who have to pay
them denounce offici1I prodigality.
Where municipal needs increase
more rapidly than municipal income
and the taxable wealth of citizens, as
has been the case in Chicago, and prob
ably in New York, the situation will be
relieved a little if city governments
will endeavor to get more work out of
the men they have on their pay rolls
and if they will stop all the really use
less expenditures they indulge in. But
they are seldom capable of such pol
icy. They will do nothing to improve
conditions until they are given more
money and no matter how much they
are given they will always want more

THE TEXTBOOK QUESTION

Representative Smith of Nez Perez
SEsimty has been made chairman of
Gs1e educational committee and as such
mas introduced a measure to extend the
Time of the present state text book
contract for another term of six years,
arguing that while the present books
xre not satisfactory as n whole that
rs1e state had better bear the disad-
santiago than to load up again with an
sntire new selection
direct opposition to the opinion of the
leading educators Of the state as ex-
pressed by the resolutions passed at
the state association which met during
sbe holiday vacation in Boise. 1t is the
asousensus of opinion that the present
adoption is wholly unsatisfactory and
that 1t is impossible to get satisfactory
results when the schools are handi-
capped as they are.
1t has been six years since the pres
sanf adoption was made and the selec-
zion bad in the beginning has not i'm
proved with age. The state superin-
tendent finds it impossible to make a
anity of the grade work of the state
because the books were not selected
with the idea Of making a continuous
and uniform graded system for the
schools and the proper coordination
between the common and the graded
schools Of the state.
The normal schools find the selection
so poor that they can not in justice to
themselves use the books and can not
give proper instruction to their pupils.
Fhe'young teachers going out from the
1-aermal schools find their work handi-
capped because of their inability to get
results from the poor books in the
hands of pupils, and the state suffers
more from the loss of time and oppor
sunity than 1t would than II could pos
assbly lose from change in the texts.

Mental and Physical Culture .

In observing the giant frames and superior strength of college athletes and the plaudits they win the ques- tion obtrudes itself. Is physical better than mental development? The answer has little to do with college athletics, for they are not of the serious busi- ness of life. It is what an old commer- cial traveller would call mere side line" of the years devoted to the ac- quirement of an education. Then, con- sidering the question from every avail able standpoint, the investigator is confronted with the query, Which aYaileth most?
 All the worlds work is done by men of brains. The perfection of the men tai faculties by education and constant exercise. by the friction of thought with thought of brighter minds is a first duty. It should be the constant effort, but not to the neglect of the physical for that is also necessary. Good health means a good, active, viz orous mind. A man cannot enter the contest for the worlds best prizes in the strength of his muscle alone. To be prize fighter or champion heavy weight thrOwer is not among the de- sirable ambitions. The physical strength required to keep the machine going is all that is necessary. He ac- tually earns nothing with his muscles Physical labor is the lowest paid Cor rect breathing plenty of ODen-air e,x ercise and conscientious observance of a simple diet maintain the health that is necessary to make a success in any vocation requiring steady use of the mental powers.
 Athletics as a diversion and amuse- ment are to be commended, but the de- velopment of the intellectual faculties. the requirement of an education and the mastery of the business or profess sion that is to be the mans life work are of most consequence.

Arizona to Have Competition.

Arizona is to have keen western competitor in manufacturing what MT. Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court has happily termed tramp corporations" The legislature of New Mexico has passed, and the governor has signed, a bill similar in its provisions to this territory's law re- lating to interpretations. Cheap and easy facilities are offered by New Mexico's new statute for the creation of corporations in that territory, aIfd dispatches from Santa Fe state that the officials there expect a heavy rev enue to be derived from the operations of the law. All the fees are to go to the territorial treasury.
 In issuing an official invitation to the world to come to Santa Fe and be in- corporated, New Mexico proposes to take q large slice of Arizona's pie, and of course the effort will be a success to the extent that our sister territory advertises the looseness of her laws. That Arizona's income from this source will be materially reduced, must be taken for granted.
 These facts should be kept in mind by the Arizona legislature today. in making up the appropriations for the ensuing two years. It would be folly to expect the inflow of revenue from in corporations to continue at it's present high level.

Socialist Activity.

| In some journals considerable stress | Is being laid upon a remark attributed l to President Roosevelt that one of the dangers of this country may come through social democracy. The so- | called socialists, of course, are rejOiced that their tenets and opinions should attract the thought of the president. History teaches dissatisfactions in old countries have been followed by social democracy agitation which has result ed in a large increase in the voting strength of that party. During the last election in the United States, the so- cialist party boiled a larger vote than ever before. This strength, however, seems to have been satisfactorily ex- plained when it is considered that a large element of the democrats revolt ed at the nomination of Judge Parker by the little clique represented by for mer Senator Hill. These democrats Missouri, voted direct for President Roosevelt or voted the social democrat ic ticket.
 Then again the socialist agitators have been conducting an aggressive campaign during the last few years and it is only natural that their vote as a result of this propaganda should have increased somewhat. But it is safe to say that if the election were to be held again this month President Roosevelt would be chosen by an even more overwhelming vote than he re- ceived last autumn.
 Some of the old time democrats are apt to attribute an increased activity of government as socialism. In this we think they are mistaken as there is wide difference between what the social democrats understand as pure social democracy the .eaI thing and government activity which so many are fond of calling a step towards so- cialism.
 The pure socialist wishes government control of the whole means of produc- tion and distribution and the practical abolition of private property. mdivid- uality would be lost and the citizens of the cooperative commonwealth would be placed on an equal footing The race question alone in the United States would be sufficient to bar the Ideals of social democracy. And then people would revolt against pure so- cialism which. in fact, is a counterpart of military despotism applied to social and industrial conditions. We are a long way off from that. The best that the social democracy can hope to be- come is a strong minority party. to keep in check other political parties as does the social democracy of Germany 4 growth Of the socialist party would probably cause internal dissensions even before that party became dou:i- nant.
 The great party of the socialists in Germany is not a unit and if called up for an active program instead of the controlling of the means of production itself the party would probably turn into one for radical reforms along Iib- eral lines. No one really desires to re- turn to the commune

'The management of the Suez canal is such that it exasperates the whole shipping world" says the Hamburg American company. If the present agitation in favor of a second canal results in the reduction of the tolls of the existing canal. the shipping. trade with the far east will be great " facilitated. After the conclusion of the war between Russia and Japan there will be great opportunities for developing the trade with far eastern countries. If however, the Suez canal continues to be managed as at present. both Russia, with the Trans Siberian railway (the efficiency of which has been greatly increased by the war) and America, with her direct sea route. will be far more favorably situated than the European countries whose way lies through the canal"
