It developed that the inspectors are

cattlemen, they have been appointed
by the live stock board only on the
petition OF the cattlemen themselves.
Frequently cattle buyers have found
after they have purchased a herd in
one part of the territory and moved
them to some other section, that
they nave one or more in the bunch
which bears the brand of some own

they bought.
This has resulted in several in

Without any hostile intention what
ever, a reporter for this paper, in de-
scribing a local tragedy resulting
from misplaced confidence and a con-
sequent misplaced Switch" rat"
or whatever it was, has succeeded in
brushing the hair of the Arizona
JournaLMiner the wrong way, and
that newspaper breaks forth into Oh
juTgation as follows under the cap
tion, The Rape of he Switch.
In other cGh:ull, Wa print a
Phoenix dispatch il regard to dis
tressing incident concomitant with
the territorial fair. We refer to the
episode where rash and we feal
avar'cious woman rented her switch
switch failed to come back when II
was due.
The capital city press treated this
compIication-we are sure its serb

plication-with a great display Oh
levity. One of our contemporaries, in
whose good taste and appreciation o.
the fitness and value of things We
have always held great confidence,
makes Is the theme of bit of KY
inguesque doggered, naturalization
tbout a hank of hair
ITO us-and We are certain We are
not deficient utterly in a sense of
humor-this bantering attitude Of the
Phoenix press is misplaced toward
the incident itself and unfeeling to-
ward the switches woman.
ITO support what we deem a more
proper position on this matter we
call attention to the dignified con-
sideration given q similar incident
by the poet, Pope. Yet in the in
stance dealt with by Pope's classic it
was a single lock, not an entire
switch, of which Belinda was bereft.
Now, while hirsute lore, is not one OF
this sanctum's speciaIties, we feel no
temerity in asserting that a switch is
a far more important matter than
lock and the abstraction of a
switch is an infinitely more serious
loss to its owner than the stealing of
a lock.
Il nus having shown to our mis-
guided contemporary that its sense
Of humor has run ewry, we will dis.
miss the incident with this rebuke to
the rash woman who rented her
switch: On the lifeline there is a
point where the lending or renting OF

danger signal is at the switch"

To the cattle raisers of Arizona,
az the convention of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers association Saturday
night, Governor Kibbey in an address
delivered In defense of his attitude
toward the butchers license law, said
that he would still be for the SanIe
law even il 1t could be shown to him
that it made possible meat trusts IN
Phoenix or any other part of the ter
rltory.
Kbbey's extreme sentiment came
after he had repeated sections of the
political speeches he delivered during
the recent campaign, in which he
contended that the present law does
not prohibit the farmer killing his
own beef and disposing of what he
cannot eat to his neighbors.
II was after he had sought to show
that the butcher law does not create
trusts, citing the fact that in Tue
son there are about fifteen butchers
who slaughter their own meat and
adding that as far as ne can learn
Phoenix is the only city in Arizona
in which there seems to be anything
that bears the earmarks of a trust.
After pledging the cattle raisers
that they could depend on him to
protect their interests, Governor Kib,
hey spoke at length in defense OF the
butcher license law and the Arizona
rangers, contending that both the law
and the rangers were the bulwarks OF
the cattle industry in Arizona
