Prior to the Eusso-Japanese war
the claims of China over Manchuria
were treated as negligible by Russia,
who established garrisons in the prov
ince and acted very much as a suze-
rain power. The activity of the Jap
anese at the present time in reach
ing out for monopoly of the Man
churian trade probably dictates Rus
sia's change of attitude and prompts
the full recognition OF China s claims
as check to that nation.

The Nogales ball players defeated
the 9th Cavalry team from Fort
Huachuca last Sunday. The sol
diers brought down much strong
er team than the one that played
here the fourth and fifth OF last
July. They have Just returned
from maneuvers in Southern Cali
fornia; and while there they played
with teams from California towns
and other Army teams from whom
they won six out OF eight games.
The game was pitchers battle
from start to finish, with Trippett
doing the twirling for Nogales and
Butler on the firing line for the
soldiers. Both pitchers struck out
twelve men apiece.

During the political campaign
that closed on November Sd the
people of Nogales awoke one morn
ing to find posted on telephone
poles, electric light poles, fences
and dead walls all over town a
small hanGbill poking bit OF
ridicule at three prominent citi-
zens, one Of them candidate, the
Others bearing parts more or less
conspicuous in the campaign, but
upon opposite sides. 1t is known
now that the lampoon emanated
from two or three waggish gentle
men who took no part in the cam.
paign on either side, although they
were all of them supporters and
voters of either ticket. 1t was a
Josh" pure and simple, and was
perpetrated just for the sake OF the
fun that might be got from it, of
which there was a great deal
But the effect of the lampoon in
other directions was amusing in
the extreme. The management of
both political parties fastened to de-
ny all responsibility for the publica-
ton and circulation of the Gosh"
while every printing office in town
FASTENED to assure the "beefers" that
it was not printed in their shop"

as to charge that the publication was
"a democratic trick" perpetrated to

bill, while a number Of faint
hearted republicans were sure that
the publication would make votes
for the democratic candidate who
was put at its head. AS that can

the county democratic ticket who
was defeated, it would seem tina
whether the Josh" made or los

man who is not willing to pay that
price should not NEEDLE with
public affairs; while the community
which permits itself to be inhu-
enced in its estimate of the men
who aspire to serve it in public
affairs by sympathy because they
are "abused"-(the man criticized
feels always that he is abused"
no man was ever discharged for
cause from a job of any kind that
he did not take his time check
with a feeling that he was a very
greatly abused" person us fixing
itself to get inferior service; is
opening the door to grating and
thievery in public Office; and is
paving the way to increased taxa
ton. When Boss Tweed and his
unsavory gang were exposed in
their crimes their paid apologists
set up a cry that they were being
abused" But those inficting the
abuse" persisted and Tweed with
his confederates were consigned
finally to the cells of felons.
When man seeks employment
in bank, store, on a railway, or
in any other service, his Gre
dentials are demanded, and his
record is scanned to see if he is
worthy. If he be found so and
given the post he can be called to
an accounting at any time and
reprimanded or discharged for any
shortcoming or dereliction in his
employment. 1t is considered al
ways the right of an employer to
search the record Of an applicant
for employment, and scan the
results of his work when he is EN-.
ployed. Railway companies have
adopted system of keeping records
of the work of their men, crediting
them with commendable actions
out of the ordinary, or con-
tinued good service in the ordinary
course of duty, and demeriting
them for minor delinquencies.
When the balance against man
in the system Of credits or
dement's reaches a certain point
he loses his job; and there are
minor punishments such as sus-
pensions or fines lower in the scale
while fragrant shortening gives
him suspension or sewers him i'm.
mediately from the service. AL
that is a growth of a system, and
is taken as a matter of course. The
same system is growing into The
permanent public service under
civil service rules. And it is never
considered abuse" to put into The
record those acts of the man which
make for or against his efficiency
as a public official under civil ser
vice.
