Adverse Criticism.

Ellen Terry in the April Mcclure
SAYS: "I was once asked, Are you af-
fected by adverse criticism? l answered
then, and answer now, that legitimate
adverse criticism has always been of use
to me, If only because 1t gave me to
think'-furiously. Selrom does the out
slider, however talented as a writer and
observer, recognize the actors art and
often we are told that we are acting
best when we are showing the works
most plainly, and denied any special vir-
tue when we are concealing our method.
Professional criticism Is helpful, chiefly
because 1t induces one to crticise ones
self Did l give that impression to any
one? Then there must have been some
thing wrong elsewhere The some
thing issoften a perfectly different blem-
ish from that to which the critic drew
attention.
JInprofessional criticism is often more
helpful still, but, alas. ones friends are
to ones faults more than q little blind.
and to ones virtues very very kind! IL
Is through letters from people quite un-
known to me that I have sometimes
learned valuable lessons. During the run
IF Romeo and Juliet some one wrote and
told me that IL the dialogue at the pail
could be taken in a lighter and quicker
wav. It would better express the manner
of a girl of Juliet's age. the same I'M
known critic pointed out that was 100
slow and studied In the Balcony scene.
Shell think it was woman-was per-
fectly right"

Johnson and His Legislature

The Minnesota governor has ac- Icompanied wonders by means of his remarkable personality.
 John Johnson is the newest of those new leaders toward whom the American people are looking with hope. And there is hope in him. He differs from the rest in this. that his loyalty to democracy is question ed. Not by me. It is said in Min nesota that he is Jim Hills man." l don't believe it. This democratic governor of a republican state has put through his republican legisla- ture acts too many and too demo- cratic to qualify as an yrailroad mans man.
 He did his work smoothly, and I suggested to him that he should much good without a fight; without achieving either the hate of the Tow down" politicians or the exc vrations of the "high-up" business men.
 'I used to go up and sit with the members" he said. 'The way I did when l was one of them. I made them understand. And I made them understand that I wasn't playing a game. They are all right"
 Other things he had said indicated that the legislature of Minnesota was just like any other legislature And the governor meant, evidently, that his legislators are all right only as most men are all right-when they are not tempted and forced to be all wrong. Governor Hughes leg islators also wanted to do right, and they sweated and trembled and got drunk when they were forced to do wrong. But forced they were; and bribed; and corrupted. Why were not Governor Johnson's legislators forced and bribed and corrupted?
 He explained and he illustrated with the stories of particular meas ures, in vain. He must be a won derful personality to have done what he did, but, of course, he had to leave himself out, and without him self was no account at all. As he must have felt, for. in the midst of his apology, he laughed, and quit.
 You better come out and see for he said.-LincoIn Steffens, in the July Everybodys.

A BOLD RUFFIAN
 ACC0STS A WOMAN
In Broad Daylight Near One of the Principal Business Streets.

The wife of a prominent young bus mess man of Phoenix was yesterday lafternoon accosted and insulted by worthless and beatial ruffian of the most pronounced rounder type. If the parties who are on his trail, lay hands
 on the brute he will probably get all
 that is coming to him. Despite the most diligent search by the police and
 the indigant husband late last night
 the man had not been found and is in
 hiding or has slipped out of the city.
 The incident aroused considerable excitement among those who knew of it and it is lucky for the mashers bones that he decided to beat it at once. The lady had crossed the Y. NJ. c. A. block and was passing the Central school building about two o'clock while there were many people on the streets down town. though none in that vicinity. He called to her in a very familiar man. ner. The man was an entire stranger to her and his appearance was decided | ly against him. He was a rather ugly looking customer and his demeanOr immediately awoke a feeling of alarm
 so that the lady hurried on.
 The ruffian proceeded to walk beside her and she stopped, thinking he would go ahead, but instead he stepped around in front of her and she broke laway and hurried downtown with the man following close behind. She inn mediately went into her husbands place of business and the fellow stop ped a short distance away on the cor ner.
 When the husband heard of the af- fair he grabbed the handiest thing in
 the shop. shotgun, the load in which if applied to the proper part of the anatomy is always an efficacious dose
 to trespassers on human rights. The wife however, was afraid he would kill the ruffian and prevented his going af-
 ter him, till the man caught a glimpse of what was about to happen to him and got a move on himself.
 He ran through an alley and into the back end of a saloon, but when the husband arrived he was no where to be found. Marshal Moore was at once informed and a search was instituted but the brute had suffered a total eclipse and he didn't cast a shadow anywhere in Phoenix as far as anyone could ascertain. Just as the husband started after him he yelled q didn't mean that probably referring to re- marks he had made. However, he did not stop to argue the question.
 The police are of the opinion that he belongs to a dangerous class and that the talons of the law should now have him in its clutches. The description of him is hardly adequate for identifi- A,,t i,e. rr-in hr and the bad dumps in the city secured.

GOOD SENSE
 COOPERATION
All Arizona Needs Now to
 Mount the Top Wave
More Attention to Business and Less to Political DemagOgues.

In the course of a letter received yesterday from MT. F. M. Murphy in relation to the political and business
 out look for Arizona he said:
 As I mentioned in my telegram, l
 shall be glad to know that the repub-
 licans in the territory are disposed to
 get together, put up a good ticket, and
 win out at the coming election, as they
 can if they are willing to bury petty
 jealousies and contention for political
 prominence and individual supremacy
 always so destructive to party harm
 ony. Arizona wants outside capital to
 develop her resources, both agricultural
 and mineral, and also needs more rail
 roads and better service, all of which
 can be obtained if our citizens don't take up with the foolish antagonistic nonsense that has been so destructive in the past twelve months, discourag-
 ing everybody that is disposed to put a dollar into a new enterprise or take a speculative chance of any kind.
 Arizona has a wonderfully bright fu- ture. All the honest, energetic, deserving and well-wishing people of the territory have to fear is the work of the cheap political demagogue, who, l am sorry to say, has been wonderfully success full in the past year or two in inflam ing the minds of the masses, so called, and developing prejudices that have been so destructive to trade, traffic and development throughout the en- tire country. Arizona, as we all know, like all new countries, needs outside capital and can offer exceptional op portunities, but we cannot expect they will be looked upon with favor if threatened with all kinds of destructive legislation and unfriendly and unfair treatment on the part of those who are entrusted with the administration of public affairs.
 We have the best seasons for believing that if Secretary Taft is elected president of the United States, as he undoubtedly will be, he will use his powerful influence in a kindly and most appreciative way in the support of every legitimate enter prise whether the same be managed and directed by individuals or corpo- rations. At the same time he will be careful to see that the laws are hon estly and fearlessly, but nevertheless | fairly, enforced, all of which should, | and undoubtedly will, be highly accept | able to all. Helpful and legitimate | support and cooperation, national and l local. free from demagogry, is all that | is necessary now to start the wheels | of industry going round, and furnish | to hundreds of thousands | that have been out of work for some | tiD1a brippiDp info ,,ca billions of do1- | lars of capital. and giving to the en- tire country years of prosperity that should excel anything we have hereto fore experienced. Everything seems ripe for great business activity, if the obstructing elements can be eliminat- ed.
