meree clause Nothing holds so ilai- portant a relation to the, future wei fare of the state as the character of It's growing children. and if under that clause such matters as railroad rates and quarantine can be con troIled. it is claimed that 1t can be made to reach the welfare of the children which apparently can be done in no other way. Strict con structionists are asked to make large concessions to gain so valuable an end.
 It need not be disguised that the question is beset with difficulties. For one thing. labor Is now scarce. and if ali child labor were to be stopped it would be difficult to supply It's place, both in production and in the support of families. If that obstacle were met it would be necessary if any good is to follow to provide for the care, and training of the children, a very seri- ous undertaking. It is obvious. how ever. that the only way to accomplish anything is to take the first step. and that is the cessation of child labor. How that is to be brought about, and whether federal interference is nee essary, should be carefully con sidered.

miles west of Douglas to the New Mexico line. taken down and so or dered. notification of the order for the removal of the fence having been received by Governor Kibbey.
 This fence was built partly by Mir. Slaughter and partly by other cattle men. who desired to prevent their cat tie from drifting into Mexico and into the herds of the San Bernardino ranch. which. several years ago, were infected with Texas fever tick and for that reason under quarantine.
 It is feared by the cattlemen that the removal of this fence will result diastrously to the cattlemen or south ern Arizona and New Mexico, as 1t Is known that nine miles south of the fence of Mir Slaughter there now ex- ist fever ticks, which. if scattered among the herds on this side of the line. would result in a quarantine against all the cattle in this section.
 The government has been induced to order this fence removei because of complaints that the public don.ain was being appropriated and that set tiers could not enter homesteads south of the drift fence. An inspector who visited this section last year for the purpose of looking into the mat ter of the drift fence recommended that the fence should come down, not withstanding the fact that he found hundreds of thousands of unappropri- ated land in both the Sulphur Springs valley and the San Simon valley, just as valuable for homesteads as any within the drift fence. Within the limits Of this fence there is no water except on lands which have been se- cured and are held either by title or lease by NIT. Slaughter.
 Dr. Norton, the territorial veteri- nary surgeon, has been one who has taken especial interest in having the drift fence maintained. recognizing the great danger of having the herds in southern Arizona exposed to the fever tick by it's removal. Dr. Nor tons splendid vigilance over the herds of Arizona has kept the whole of Arizona out of quarantine during the past decade and he naturally ap- preciates the danger of disease which he will have to contend with, when the Slaughter drift fences are down.
 Whether the cattlemen will attempt to make any further effort for the preservation of this protective fence is not known. Already every cattle interest in Arizona and every official represented have protested at Wash ington and it may be useless to pro test further.

COPPER AND THE RAILROADS.

Speaking to a friend in Pittsburg last week. George Westinghouse, the great electrical engineer, is reported to have said that he considered the ultimate identification of railroads all over the United States as inevita- ble, and that it would take the cop per industry of the United States fif- teen years to accomplish it.
 Of course, Mir. Westinghouse did not mean to say that the railroads were about to take up this work and devote the next fifteen years seriatim to its accomplishment What he real ly did mean to convey was that the railroads of the United States must eventually come to identification. and that it would be done in parts, first in one place and then in another, as need pressed, but that the completion of the work would mean that copper equal to the capacity of the copper in dustry for fifteen years would be re- quired in it's fulfillment.
 This is only one of the many de, mands that will be put upon the cop, per situation during the next five years and that will tend to keep the price of the metal at what were con sidered high prices two years ago The head of what is probably the largest copper consuming interest on the western hemisphere, if not the world, recently said that he expected that r cents a pound would be the low price for copper in the future and that the present market had every indication of going to 30 cents a pound before the relief from increased production arrived.

STATEHOOD
 NIGHTMARE.

It is truly wonderful how much some newspapers and men know about things The Tucson Star says:
 "A senator, who can speak with au- ;lority on this subject. declared last eek that no other condition would
 considered by the senate, except
 lture for Arizona and New Mexico,
 l it was more than probable that
 the next session of congress the
 lt-statehood bill of New Mexico and
 zona would be taken up and passed
 thout any delay, thus disposing CT -.i the territories.
 -There is good reason to believe that the statement made by the sen ator in question was made with a full knowledge of the facts, and set tied determination of the republican party in both bran nches of congress, so that the statehood question need give the people no further concern, as con gress, which has the power, will do just as it deems best in the premises" !" It is evident that the wish Is father to the thought on the part of that sen ator and the. Star; but, while this paper desires to be courteous to the Star and say nothing offensive, it is evident that the editor of the Star has not yet fully grasped the situa- tion. In the first place, the United States senate, as now controlled. will never consent to a merger of Arizona and New Mexico as long as the peo- pie of Arizona object to the union, and in the second place the people of Arizona. backed by the objecting voters of New Mexico, would un- doubtedly vote down any constitution or provision that joined the two as one state. Hence, the people of Ari- zona may rest assured that whatever action is taken by congress, this ter ritory is safe and that it can force its own terms or delay any action.
 However. there is no reason for Arf zona people to feel discouraged. If the democrats win in 1908 Arizona will come in without delay; if Fora ker is nominated and wins, Arizona will come in, and if Taft is nomi. mated and wins, there is a strong pos sibility that be will go with. Foraker on the statehood question. Arizona's greatest danger in the next election is from Fairbanks and Hughes. If either of these men win. our people will have to fight against the merger idea for four years more.
 But as 10 the present senate push ing merger on this territory, 1t did not do it last year and it will not do it next year. There are too many Foraker republicans and too many democrats in line to permit it.

GIVE THE CHILDREN 4 CHANCE. <

Society is much occupied with all sorts of reform having for their puT- pose the elimination of various evils that afflict it, and every one is sure that if the particular one he is inter ested in could be carried through the dawn of the IniIlenium would be at hand The fundamental difficulty with many Is that they not only set about the work iu the wrong way, but they begin at the wrong end, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. One might suppose that reform was wholesale process which somehow or other af- fected the mass without changing the individual: whereas, 1t is only accom- plished by setting at work influences with individuals which gradually spread from one to another and leav- en the mass Starch is changed to sugar only by the transformation of every individual particle. When we try to work on the human mass it is found that the mature Individuals have become so indurated and case hardened by habit that it is well nigh hopeless, and as matter of experi- ence of rare occurrence, that any rad ical change can be wrought, and the only way is to begin with the child ren. If all the children in the coun- try from their earliest years to young manhood and womanhood, can be giv- en proper food and clothing. and good hygienic, mental and moral training. special reform causes would be pret- ty much dropped, and in two or three generations we should witness more genuine progress than has been ac- complished in as many centuries. If all the effort that is being wasted on reform could be turned to making the conditions, opportunities and training of the children of the country what they should be we should see speedy and gratifying results.
 As things are today millions of children are being robbed of their childhood There are for them no happy hours of careless play, and very little instruction. nothing but grind ing toii and inadequate nourishment. dwarfing and stunting them body and soul and making it impossible that they should develop into healthy, nor. al, cheerful. self-respecting men and women. The first step to be taken is to stop working children under 16 years of age. The first seven or eight years of their lives they ought to be trained like plants to a vigorous physical growth, and from then to 16 Is the least time that should be al. lowed for mental, moral and manual education, which, to get the best re, suits. should go on together.
 Attempts have been made in differ ent states to enforce laws passed with such a purpose in view, but with lit tie success. It is now proposed to reach the evil by federal enactment The plan is to provide that no goods produced by child labor shall be car. ried from one state to another. and inspectors are to be appointed to see that the law is oheyed It is claimed that such a provision would be eff fectiye, and that it would be consti tutional under the interstate com

suppREssINe RAMBLING.

After April there will be no more public gambling in the territory i of Arizona This is settled fact. It is true that there is some crih- | cism of the bill that was passed by | the legislative assembly last Thurs day, and signed by the governor on the same day, to the. effect that 1t was not sufficiently drastic; but able lawyers say that 1t will put an end ' to all public games, and that 1t is a ] law easily enforced. It is not good 1 idea for legislative body to enact an unpopular law, as public sentiment will not enforce it, and a measure more drastic than the one passed would meet with such vigorous oppo sition that enforcep mt If its proys- alons would be extremely difficult. As the law now stands it will unquestion- ably be enforced. In fact, gamblers will not attempt to violate it; but, 1t is said have already bowed their heads to the inevitable and will emi- grare to N6NdQa-
 This looks good for Arizona, but sad for Nevada, but it will show the people of the United States that the people of this territory are eninently able to govern themselves; that Ari- zona is peopled by honorable, law abiding citizens, who wish to conduct clean and honest government, and that the territory is worthy of place among the enlightened and refined 1 states of the union. In fact, the pass \ ing of this anti-gamblIng bill will ma terialIy aid Arizona in its fight for statehood. The president Of the Unit ed States will have a greater respect for Arizona, the members of the sen ate and house of representatives will more seriously consider the charac- ter of our citizenship; and the Chris i tian people of the country will extend
 .o us their support and aid.
 This bill shows that Arizona is not a rotten borough, for rotten borough will not enact a decent measure.
 This bill shows that Arizona can be depended upon to protect the home
 and regulate vice, and for this reas- on is worthy of local 9elf-government. To some men this may not seem i'm
 portant, but for the past few months many letters have been received by lthe territorial administration from various congressmen concerning the passage of the Littleheld gambling bill. These letters were answered
 with requests that Arizona be grant
 ed a little time. the members of the
 administration hoping that the legis.
 lature would pass an anti-gambline
 bill. If this bin had not passed, the
 national government would have talk
 en the matter out of the territory's ] hands. An act of this kind would be
 almost fatal to this territory's hopes 1 for statehood, for it would have been
 heralded from one end of the country
 to the other that Arizona was so cor rupt that the nation had to enact a law to control it's corruption.
 The legislature has done well and
 should be remembered kindly by the ipeople.

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 27.-Wichita's
reign of terror continued. Not a night
passes without some sort of an assault
being made upon white women. Prom

are supposed to be connected with the
shooting and robberies that occurred
last week.

COBRE KILLER
STILL AT LARGE

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 27.-From
Cobre, New, comes the information
that the other of the robbers who
robbed and killed Bartender Gillian at
a saloon there several days ago is still
at large and that he will likely make
good his escape. His partner, it will
be remembered. was shot and killed in
the mountains. The other got away,
but it was believed that since he had
no food or water he would soon be
captured.
The robber at large, it is reported,
located a camp owned by one William
Hendry, and while the latter was away
helped himself to food and water suffi-
cient to last him for several days.
Posses have been out securing the
country since the robbery, but as yet
the man has not been captured. 1t is
believed that the robber has retraced
his steps and got to the railroad, from
where he could make an easy and sue
cessful escape.
