a Monster Wildcat.

NJ. H. Ruiz, yesterday brought to
town the skin of the biggest wildcat
ever seen in this part of the country,
says the Arizona Republican. He
killed it day before yesterday along
the Arizona canal. There were four
of the cats, one of them, says Ruiz,
bigger than the one he killed, but it
was not so belligerent.
This cat, instead of running away,
advanced upon him, growing and spit
ting. The animal was about to spring
when Ruiz shot. the ball taking effect
in the head, killing it instantly. The
skin was more than four feet from
tip to tip. The length of a wildcat is
mostly in its body, for the tail does
not greatly affect the linear measure
ment. This cat was bigger than some
mountain lions and 1t was probably
more destructive.

Officials Already Overloaded.

A third general objection to govern
ment agency rests on the principle Of
the division of labor. Every additional
function undertaken by the govern
ment is fresh occupation imposed on
body already overcharged with
duties. \ natural consequence Is that
most things are i'll done, much not
done at all, because the government is
not able to do it without delays which
are fatal TO its purpose; that the more
troublesome and less snowy Of the
functions undertaken are postponed
and neglected. and an excuse Is always
ready for the neglect. while the heads
Of the administration have their minds
so fully taken up with official detail, in
however perfunctory manner superin-
tended. that they have no time or
thought TO spare for the great interests
of the state and the preparation Of en-
larged measures of sound improve
ment.-JohI Stuart Mill.

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
Public and Private Methods Contrast.
ed-Organization vs.. Aggreg alton.

One controlling economic reason for
opposing public ownership IS that ev-
cry individual in society prospers just
In proportion rs industry gets the best
I ere Is In human capability. On the
her hand, government control and d.
rection never get and In the nature Of
things never can get all there is or the
best there Is in human capability.
Now the government may compete
with private enterprise In getting ca
pable men. but 1t has not thus far
shown anything of the capacity Of a
private enterprise to assign the right
man always to the right place. The
agency which in private enterprise
succeeds so generally In eventually
man IS not simply good intention or
mere intelligence, but the intelligence
and intention which constantly study
the enterprise In hand. which make It
the one affair in life, constantly
thought of and planned for-an intelli-
gence and intention. too, which are
themselves as nearly as possible per-
manent. That kind of seeking out and
watchfulncsS few government depart
ments possess. The men in charge Of
government departments may be intel
ligent and we'll intentioned. but they
are In today and out tomorrow. The
thing under them is not their child
They never, as a matter of fact, get
their hands and their minds fully into
the work.
Nor will civil service change this.
Civil service examinations may secure
capable men. but no civil service ex-
animation can assign the right man to
the right place, can pick out Of the
thousand capable men Just the kind Of
capability that Is fitted to this place
and just the kind that IS fitted to that.
Indeed, between government control
and private control the difference In
that respect is almost the exact differ
ence between what we call true or
ganization and what is the merest ag-
gregation, for In private enterprise
each man has come by process Of
attrition TO the place he is best fitted
to fill, while In government employ
ment each man Is dropped into his
place irrespective Of special fitness and
under civil service is riveted there

LITTLE lNDIVIDUALlSM THERE.
Why Public Ownership 10 Popular In
European Countries.

In Europe governments are largely
paternal because of the lack Of indi-
vidualism. The very helplessness Of
the people fosters and necessitates pa
ternalism. That is why national and
municipal governments operate public
utilities. Under monarchy, for that
reason. the tendency of the people Is
naturally toward socialism
The phenomenal growth and pros
perity of the United States have been
attained without either paternalism or
socialism. Compare the condition Of
the people here. their better living
their comfort and happiness with the
condition of the people of the nations
Of Europe. and there is only one con-
clusion-that Is that for us individual
ism is the state policy. and we do not
have TO borrow the institutions of for
eign nations created by Il need from
which we are free. 1t Is Just because
of our individualsm that socialistic in
situations and cooperative schemes
never prosper here.-Newark q. j. Ad.

DID HIS BEST FOR HIS CHUM
But Kentucky Lawyer Could Not Secure
Acuuiftal for His Friend In Arizona,
Who was Charged With
Murder.

Hopkinsville, KY, May Cocoon
monwealth's Attorney Denny p.
Smith. who went to Prescott, Ariz.,
several days ago for the purpose of
defending his friend and former
schoolmate, T. G. Roach, who was
in prison there on a charge of murder,
has returned.
Mr. Smith was not successful in
getting Mr.. Roach off entirely, ow-
ing to the mass of circumstantial evil
dence. The verdict of the jury was
murder in the second degree, but
with a recommendation for clementy
under which it is thought the sem
tence fixed will be very light.
The crime for which Mr.. Roach
was convicted was committed in the
town of Crown King, Ariz., on Nov.
9, 1906. Mr.. Roach, who has been
told to drink whisky by the doctors,
who has treated him for consumption,
from which he suffered constantly,
had drunk to excess and was in
very ugly humor and had paraded the
streets armed with a Winchester rifle
and threatened to kill some one be-
fore morning. While two miners. one
of whom had had a difficulty with
Roach earlier in the night, were
standing together in saloon, rifle
report sounded, and bullet crashed
thru the window and killed the man
with whom Roach's erstwhile enemy
was talking. This caused suspicion
to be directed his way, and when
.trailers, who possessed the cunning
of an Indian. in following the tracks
left by persons, claimed to have
tracked the assassin to Roach's door
six miles away, the case seemed con-
elusive, and he was he arrested and
thrown in Jail.
Mr.. Roach's finances had been ex-
hausted by his quest of health, and
he had not sufficient money to en-
ploy an attorney, and SO he wrote to
Mr.. Smith, and the latter placed his
Commonwealth duties in other hands
and went to his old friends aid and
made such a gallant fight In his be-
half that, although the odds were
heavily against him, and every one
thought verdict of death would be
rendered, he succeeded in getting
him off with light sentence. Mr..

BESSEMER STEEL.
Just What II Is and What II Has
Made Possible.

Most persons are unaware Of the rev.
O'vtion created in industrial circles by
the introduction Of the bessemer proc
ess OF making steel. This process be-
longs in the same category with the in
vention of the printing press and the
Introduction of the steam engine in its
relation to human progress.
Steel is a compound of iron with a
small percentage of carbon. which Is
rendered malleable by being cast while
In q state of fusion. Cast iron is iron
with much larger percentage of car
bon and other impurities. Bessemers
process converts cast iron into steel by
blowing a blast of cold air through
melted cast iron. The oxygen Of the
al burns out the carbon. silicon and
other unwelcome elements until the
right proportion is reached. and then
the steel is cast.
The effect of the process was at once
to cheaper steel and to increase its use
enormously. In 1870, when Bessemer
took out his first patent, steel sold in
England for five times its present
price
Sir Henry Bessemer shared the COM
mon lot of inventors in encountering
incredulity when his discovery was
6fst announced. but he was more for
tunate than most inventors. He lived
to enjoy the rewards of fame and for
tune and to witness the worldwide
adoption Of his process.
Tho hassanor cfaol rail ayar
laid down was at Derby, England, in
1857. 1t was placed at a point where
II had been necessary to renew the iron
rails once in three months because Of
iDressant wear. 1t was not taken up
foe sixteen years, during which time
100000 trains passed over it,
j. is to the bessemer process that we
o"e the rapid development of our great
railway systems. The giant locomo-
tiYes that draw long trains across the
continent and the steel rails upon
which they run are due to Its discov-
cry. 1t is estimated that the bessemer
process has reduced the cost of land
transportation two-thirds, and it has
also greatly cheapened transportation
by water. 1t has opened great tracts
of fertile country which could not have
been reached otherwise and has given
the farmer good markets. In the de-
velopment of electric railways it is all
the time bringing together scattered
villages and giving new opportunities
for intercourse.
We owe to Sir Henry Bessemer the
Improvements In our modern steam
ships, the strength and lightness of
the bridges which cross our rivers,
countless modern forms of machinery
and their cheapened products and the
skyscrapers. which could not have been
built save by the use of steel.-New
