New Orleans Picayune.
Engineers are making preliminary
surveys of the proposed route of the
New Orleans, Crowley and Western
Railroad, which has been incorpor-
ated with a capitalization of 81, OOO.-
600, to build from Crowley to this
city, with possible future extensions
into Texas. 1t was stated yesterday
afternoon at the general offices of the
company in the Hibernia Building,
that no definite route for any portion
of the proposed line yet had been
determined upon. The company has
several tentative routes, any one of
which would fill the bill, it is claimed,
and the course to be followed to this
city will depend largely on the
.liberality in the form of right of way
concessions of the localities that are
competing for the line. "All our
work now is wholly preliminary"

And THEY DID.

In a certain town that had been
quiet for years taking what
came to it AS it took the rain
from the heavens, never even
reaching forth to gather the
fruits of it's opportunities, there
one time arose a man and said
unto his fellows, Behold! an
awakening is about in the land.
Help me, my friends, and we will
open our eyes," A faithful
band worked early and late and a
tax was voted for improvements,
whereupon the town grew and
property waXed in value.
Another time others rose up and
said, I'VE must not stand still,
but reach forward and grasp the
good thing offered u.s." And
they, too, worked early and late.
and a tax was voted and property
still increased in value.
And 10. a third time there
arose among the people a band
of citizens who saw that the
town had grown and needed
other things for it's welfare, and
they called unto the people that
they would vote another tax to
replace the one which had ex-
pired. And many applauded
and said, This seems unto US a
good thing, let us do this that
better things may come unto
u.s." But strange as it may
seem, a certain man went among
his neighbors saying. you must
not do this. We are now taxed
to death. and my taxes are now
heavy to bear" And it so hap
pened that he said this unto a
man who does his own thinking,
and this man said unto him,
You should not complain, my
friend, for in truth. would you
pay the tax a hundred times
over you would make but a poor
return for all the community has
done for you. and besides, know
you not that what benefits
the community benefits you."
And it came to pass that there
were other men who did their
own thinking and when the time
came they voted for the extern
sion and the tax carried.
And passing strange! the man
who had gone among his neigh
bors crying out they would be
to death, instead of consid-
his property less valuable
because of the heavy tax,
actually acknowledged it was
more valuable by putting a
higher price upon it-and 10! it
was worth it.

The Truth About q Wedding.

The editor of the Gaylord, 10. T.)
Sentinel wrote an account of his
own wedding in his paper the other
day: This is the first instance in
several years of newspaper work that
the writer has dared to tell the truth
about . wedding, for fear of getting
licked, and does SO now with a keen
relish. The bridegroom is an editor,
and is not q popular and accOnp-
lished leader of s~ociety-in fact, he
doesn't know as much about it as q
rabbit. His hair is red, and the
freckles on his face crowd each other
for room. In the dusk it is hard to
distinguished him from q telephone
pole. He has never considered that
the future looked very bright or
promising-it has always kept him
too busy paying his board bills to
have any dreams about future great
ness. he is just . common sort of .
fellow, and claims distinction only in
that he Is Kansan from the soles of
his clumsy feet to the top of his head.
The bride is the youngest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. J. White, and was
born and raised in the Solomon
Valley. Judging from the job she
has taken on her hands, she is q
young lady of more than ordinary
nerve"

THE


able zeal for the progress and
welfare of their community, fail
to understand the position of
others of the community who
may view certain contemplated
moves in a light altogether diff
ferent. and SD it happens some
times, that the impatient ones
in their impotence speak of the
others aS "kickers" and too
often ascribe to them selfish
motives when in truth they are
equally considering the public
good, as they see it. In the heat
of our own enthusiasm. we are
unfortunately too prone to over
look the praiseworthy motives
of Others-it is a natural failing
and only blameable when our
attention being called to it, we
fail to try to amend. OF course,
feeling sure you Ire right, it is
hard beyond measure to believe
the other fellow is right, and yet,
paradox as it may seem. it is
possible for both to be right
from their standpoint. but as to
which is the true standpoint,
can only be ascertained by
weighing the matter carefully
without prejudice. Even this
sometimes fails, for a course in
human affairs is not a mathemat-
ical certainty. The future NAV
prove even the best reasoning
and the soundest arguments at
fault. Chance is a quality that
can not be eliminated from
mundane affairs and in laying
our plans we can do so only to
the best of our judgment. But
to arrive at a good judgment
requires discussion, and here it
is that the kicker" as the i'm
patient man terms the other,
becomes a most useful and
worthy factor in the community.
1t is the kicker" that forces
discussion by presenting the
other side to the question, there
by bringing out both the good
and bad points; who becomes
the means of laying before the
gaze of the people the question
in all it's. aspects and enables
them to draw their own conclu-
sions and his own, for your

susceptible of conversion, a man
who can see when he is at fault
and when he does. none is more

to the wheel.
The name kicker" has often
been applied to a valuable citizen.
and while perhaps he was a
Kicker" the term could have
been one of reproach only be-
cause the impatient ones were
blind and misunderstood him.
And it is misunderstanding that
causes nine-tenths of the division
in communities. The average
man wants his community to
grow and prosper. He delights
in public improvements and he
wants all the good things for his
town possible; but while we all
may want these things there
must be necessarily a difference

tectfon against the blighting Beveridgc.
 Chairman Hamilton of the house committee in replying to one of these telegrams partially disclaimed respon- sibility for the part he appeared to be taking in the outrage. He did not care much about joint statehood one way or the other but the president was urging it. MT. Hamilton afterward denied the sending of such a teleoram but it was offered in evidence by a member of the Arizona delegation at one of the so- called hearings given the delegation by the committee on territories.
 Now We begin to find out who was ed in the statehood bill. It was neither the president nor Beveridge nor the present house organization. It was tho dead and gone Fifty eighth congress.
 This revelation was made last Thurs day by MT. Dalzen, replying to MT. Babcock.
 Said he: 'Mr. Speaker, let me rerer to a few facts. In the Fifty eighth congress the republican house of rep resentatives passed a bill admitting Indian Territory and Oklahoma as one state and Arizona and New Mexico as another state. The president of the United States. adopting the policy of a republican house. endorsed the pol icy and recommended its adoption ir his message"
 Thus Beveridge is purged. the presl- dent of the United States exculpated and the present house whitewashed.

EDUCATED MEN IN DEMAND.

In an article !n Moodys magazine Frank H. Fayant showed that educated men are more and more in demand in the business world. Mir Fayant refer $ particularly to graduates Of technical schools, but his conclusions are equally applicable to graduates of schools Of finance and to tha American institute of bank clerks. The writer says that while there has been made in this country elaborate provision for the training of young men for the tech nological side of business, only re- gently have steps been taken to pro- vide similar training for young men taking up the commercial side. We have been turning out scientifically trained embryo captains of industry but we have given little attention 10 our universities to educating the men who are to exploit the products of the industries. The trouble has been tha. while the manufacturer may be con- vinced that his boy ought to have a course in the theory of engineering if he is going to be a works manager. 1t is difficult to show him how his boy is going to be helped in his business career by studying economies as a pre- paration for administrative work.
 The business man turns up his nose at political economy, and there is some reason for this attitude. It is notorious that the economist is apt to be a vail dreamer. But, within the past few years, there have been established, largely through the efforts of the American Bankers association, syste- matic university courses in commerce and finance. notably at Wisconsin, Dartmouth New York, Illinois, Penn sylvania Michigan Northwestern, Chi cago and the Philadelphia Central high school. The new degree, Bachelor Of Commerce" has been created.
 Abroad, the new university of Bir- mingham laid out on American lines, has created a faculty of commerce and has appointed the first English profess sor of accounting while in Germany, there has been founded the Leipsig HandelschOchscule. These schools of commerce. the last step in, the new

What Will be Accomplished

The most disastrous thing in con- nection with the Water Users election is already happening and we fear that by the time the election is over it will have been completed. That will be the rending. of the valley into the old factions which kept things in a ruin .ous turmoil for many years.
 In the campaign which is being di- rected against President Fowler an effort is being made to renew the an.- mostly of the south side against the north side and to stir up the ancient quarrel which existed between the settlers under the old ca nals and those under the Arizona ca nal.
 All this i'll feeling which had for years filled the courts with litigation and had been the chief source of in- come of lawyers was allayed in the process of the organization of the Water Users association. It seemed to have utterly vanished and it was hoped, forever. This happy state of af- fairs was attributed in large meas ure, to the efforts of MT. Fowler.
 When those who had been warning SO viciously and expensively had been brought to see the futility of their pickering. it was generally agreed that the valley had gained much, even though the Tonto reservoir prospect should fail
 Now all this work is in danger of haf
 That it may possibly result in the defeat of MT. Fowler.
 We may ask: Why should he be de- feated?
 In all the discussion of the question we have heard no reason for trading horses while crossing the stream.
 It is not claimed by any member of the rather nebulous opposition to him that any other man can be more useful to the farmers of the valley.
 It is generally admitted that there is no other man who is so close to the reclamation officials or who enjoys their confidence in so high degree.
 But" says the opposition, "the irri- gation project is so far along now that we are out of the woods. The govern ment has already invested so many millions in our behalf that it cannot recede, whatever We may do. In this state of the case, we need not take the government into account. We are in position to do as we please.'~
 If all this were true. and it is not true, still it would be no reason for the replacing of MT. Fowler by some body else "just as good"
 But this is not the real reason for the opposition. There is a deeper one, born of envy and jealousy.
 This is what is threatening the peace of the valley.
 There is no apparent possibility that the ultimate object of it will be at tained.
 It is incomprehens,bie that a major ity of the water users would prefer a less practiced man than MT. Fowler at this stage, but as we have stated. we fear that a more serious thing than the defeat of Mir. Fowler will be ac- cornplished, and that is the renewal of the factional fight.

Where the Crime Originated

The origin of the joint statehood bill has been clouded in confusion. The house leaders and the president have agreed that it is party measure. A strong house minority and substantial senate majority have pronounced it a foolish and unjust measure. This la; ter view seems to have been generally adopted by the country. Since the bIlI is as good as dead there is no longer a keen interest in it.
 But it's origin will always be a sub ject of interest in view of the confusing and contradictory statements which have been made by those in authority. The discovery of the origin of the bIll will possess a certain value as. 1t viii then be known who or what conceives himself or itself to be the republican party
 The statehood idea first loomed up officially in the presidents message. The apologists of the president in this territory were inclined to believe that he had inserted that paragraph against his will; that he had become the ser vile creature of Senator Beveridge, who therefore, if statehood was a party issue, had become the republican party.
 That idea prevailed for a time and telegrams were sent from this terri . tory to the president urging him to brace up and throw off the yoke or Beveridge. Other telegrams were senr 10 the house leaders praying for pro-
