LURING THE ARMY RECRUIT
MeasureG That Might be Adopted to
 Fill tho Ranks

Nowadays. the toyshop windows are filled with dynamoes, trolley cars and motor boats, railroad trains. and air ships, that are fully as dirigible and dependable as the real ones. Accost any boy going into such a window with a question as to what he is going to do when he grows up. and hell declare without the slightest hesitation. his unalterable determination to be a mo- tor man.
 The older boys. too, those of the right age to make good recruits. are not the sons, but the grandsons of the soldiers of the sos. and strange as it may seem, theofarther away the coun- try gets from the conflict of those years, the less becomes the fascination of the army. All Of which accounts, in part at least. for the difficulty that the government is having to fill the ranks
 Perhaps the war department might profit by the example of the tOyshops. The young man is not attracted by the bright colored pictures of figures in uniform standing at salute. which he sees, or fails 10 see, tackled up in

THE SHADOW OF BRYAN.

Jesse R. Grant would be preferable as a presidential candidate to a large number of Arizona democrats. but still to a not large enough number to secure the support of this territory ac the Denver convention. He only asks, however. as we understand it. to be regarded as the second choice. which he thinks will be the last and best choice It is not at all likely that the claims of Mir. Grant will be consid- cred by a majority of the democrats of this territory. They will not be able 10 bring themselves to contem- plate any contingency in which Mir Bryan could he defeated.
 We dc not mean that a majority of the democrats of this territory are un- der the Bryan spell; that a majority of them regard him as more than hu- man. But those who are not under the spell are, to use a westernism, "buffaloed~ by the intensity of the spellbound, uncertain of the number so affected and so. are afraid openly to oppose the craze and thereby to expose themselves to the charge of false democracy and of being the SUD- porters of predatory wealth and cor ruption.
 That is the situation throughout the whole country. We believe that there are more anti -Bryanites than there are Bryanites. but they are not so in tense. The Bryan strength is a state of mind rather than a supremacy Of numbers and in such cases a state of mind is sufficient. In this case t will be sufficient for the nomination of Bryan. There will be no rebeiiion within the party. but the democrats who are afraid to set up a title to their own souls. will enter a protest against the tyranny of the intense minority when they come to the polls Any republican candidate will be a deliverer from Bryanism. We do rIt mean by that, the political doctrines and practices of Bryan. but the hyp- notism which for twelve years has made all other democratic leaders i'm possible.

MEN TEACHERS NEEDED.


 President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, is strongly opposed to so many women teachers In the public schools. This is an age of over-femin- ization in the schools, he says. Men should be principals and have men un- der them. With women under them the men principals are becoming sis sies." The woman teacher also has d bad influence on the boys. Flogging has gone out and the effeminate sis sy" boy is honored. This. he de- clares, does not make for manhood. '" It is sometimes much easier to call at tention to an evil than It Is to provide remedy. and this is true in the pres ent instance. Even granting that President Hall is right it is difficult to see what is going to be done about it. The tribe Of men teachers has be- come almost eXinct, while the school population is increasing rapidly every year That being the case boys must be taught by women teachers or grow up without an education, an alterna- tive no one would care 10 advocate.

"EYAGS.r THE WOEFUI.

Wags" still regards as an act of disloyalty to itself and a small group Of officeholders. the refusal Of Terri torial Committeeman Mauk to violate his pledge at the Bisbee convection and vote for the sending of the dele gates convention to Phoenix when mo- body in Phoenix had asked for it, or expected it in the circumstances. the regular biennial convention having been already located here.
 But ''Wags" denies that the coming convention was unsolicited and proves it as follows:
 The plea that this city made no effort for the convention is untrue, and the files of this paper will so prove it. Column after column of C'Wags'O was given to show the rights of Phoenix in the matter and the plea that no effort was made for the convention is a grasping at straws.r

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT.
First Notable Example OF Regard
for the Appearance of Things

(From Sylvester Baxter's THE
Railway Beautiful in the April
Century,
I'm this country the fret notable
example OF regard for the appear
aucc OF things along the line was
furnished hy great railway COM
pany ia the Middle .tates, Here
the English idea WAS followed In
keeping with the exceptionally thor
ough organization OF the company 3
service. the manifest aim In these
improvements was to have every
thing along the limo present what
along the seaboard Is known as a
"shipshape" appearance that Is, 20
hear a neat. trim, and well-groomed
look a. on ship, whore the decks
are kent Immediately holystoned,
the woodwork freshly scraned or
painted. the brasses polished, the
ropes coilod. etc, Such conditions
ON shipboard are marks of discip-
line. good repair. and general e.
ficency So on n railway. where in
similar ways attention rs givcn 10
good appearance, public confidence
In safe competent management is
promoted Therefore, just as the
good mechanic takes care 90 make
his iolnt swell fitting and his lines
good, 50 on this model railway the
incest attention was given 10 thor
oughly wcll-orlered appearance OF
all the work about and near the
tracks. For instance, the crossties
are squarely Cut at an exactly uni
form distance from the rail, on the
roadbed the ballast rs bordered by
clean and regular lines, the yards
are kept scrupulously clean and
clear of all rubbish, aud about the
stations and other buildings the turf
is nicely maintained In this case,
however. until recently little atten-
ton has ever been given 10 really
artistic character: the way-stations,
as a rule. are not architectural; In
the way Of adornment some sparse
flower beds represent good intention
rather than achievement.
Two diverse methods are eNem-
nlifiad in our forms of railway em-
hellishment. ono Is governed by
'he principle that ornament shO"'d
he developed from the character of
/ the thing ornamcnted; that while
| general principles may be laid down
Tor guidance, their application must
be modified according To the cir
cumstances attending each partiCl-
lar problem, What would be ad-
mirahle In one place might prove
wholly out Of keeping. and CORES
lpoudingly bad In another. The sec
ond method has found a wider ac-
lcep'anee. This proceeds with the
resumption that ornament consists
In something pretty, something dec
oratiye; that applying this pretti-
ness 20 things makes them beauti-
ful
The former methOd was adopted
for the first railway line IN the
United States where a eomprehen-
siye attempt at artistic treatment
was made The results have been
so beautiful SO wholly admirable.
and Withal so truly economical in
maintenance. that u seems remark
able that the example has not been
more widely followed.

BIGGER ISSUE THAN

(Dufur Dispatch.)
That town COW. Much discussion
Is being made OF her in Dufur these
days. Some speak faYorably OF
her, others do not. AS seen by the
Dispatch man all the argument the
defendants of the COW can offer
is proof that she should be shut up
or herded out OF town that she
might be kept from running at
large on our streets. To a town
that is enterprising, and ono that
IS trying TO forge to the front. there
Is no greater nuisance that the
town COW. Her defendants will tell
you of a law for breachy cattle. and
ask you why you don't enforce IL.
Why, bless your soul, the town COW
Is not breachy; she is beyond that:
she is educated. In the place of
jumping or breaking through

IL no pasture obtainable is no sane
argument. Suppose there isn't, how
much feed is the-e on the streets OF
Dufur? One man. who, by the way.
is a defendant OF the COW. admitted
that there was not enough feed on
our streets to keep one COW three
months out of the year.
And yet he wants the COW To run
at large Why? This we can not
answer. unless II Is so she can
climb the fence with her front feet

TO humanity than any legislation
ever yet enancted. Farmers are
large owners of land but not of
land values. We have land In our
cities that sell for five millions OF
dollars per acre; have any OF you
farmers land as valuable as that?
In New York City there Is land that
is worth fifteen millions OF dollars
per acre; is there any land in this
neighborhood at that price? To
answer my friends question I will
relate little talk had one day
as Il would work ha5<ship on the
carawas county, when we we're In
WaShlngton together. Pierson was
a farmer and he said TO me one day:
TON. I cannot go your single tax
per cent OF all the taxes"
farmers, and they have already
more than their share OF the burd-
en- OF taxation" I replied: Look
here, Plerson. II I had thought
that the single tax would increase
tho farmers burden would not
stand for II for one moment. In fact
IN I did not know that II would be
the greatest blessing to the farmers
and 10 the workingmen In the city
as we'll, would never advocate Il
again; I can show YOU that the
single tax will tighten the formers
burden as compared with the pres
ent method. Let mo ask you some
questions. To see n we can get at
the facts OF the matter. How much
Mr.. Plerson. OF the present tax bur
den do you think farmers bear?"
81 o.. A
over one-half the population OF the
United States" said he. "and |
should say that thev pay about 60
OF all the taxes"
every well. let's call Il so per
cent. 20 be safe"
"No, no." said Pierson, that's
too low. they pay more than GO per
cent rather than less"
"All right but 10 be safe let's call
it 80 per cent. Now, Mr.. Pierson,
I want YOU 10 tell me how much OF
the value OF land the farmers have
In these United states? Please take
into consideration all the valuable
coal lands. the iron. silver, gold,
copner and an other valuable mines
the water power privileges. I've

more than n whole county OF farm
ing land I want vOrl 90 take all
these into consideration. and then
toll me how much of these values In
the United States the farmer has.
Mr. Plerson replied. "Wen, Il
should say lees than per cent"
said "Call Il ten percent to be-
sefe."
"oh. no. that's entirely too hlsh.
That double"
Well we will call n ten per cent
anyway. Now, don't YOU see that u
the farmers are paying so per cent.
that II all the taxes are raised by al
single tax on land values the farm
ers. since they have but ten per cent
OF these yalueF--you say 5 per cent
would pay less; that their taxes
would he reduced nye times? That
instead OF paying one-half as now.
they would. under that plan, pay

at It in that light. and ! guess YOU
have got me-"
And so I want TO say to yol
farmers that this single tax. OF
which am proud 20 be an advocate,
