ATTACKING. THE WHEAT GAM
 BLERS.

Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture says the wheat corner lis deliberately planned robbery, " and adds: "The speeulatOrs sent agents out all over the United States to gather statistics on wheat, directing them to get bad reports, and they got them, and published them. Their re- ports are lies. There is plenty of wheat in the United States; and there is no reason why the price should be SO high"
 As the department of agriculture has better facilities for getting the facts of production than any private agency can have, there are good reasons for be- lieving that Secretary Wilson is cor rect. The government agents have on- ly one object in gathering their infor- nation. This is to get at the truth, re- gardless of which side it hits on the Chicago Board of Trade. The private agencies, nearly all of which are run by speculatOrs, want reports which will give them a chance to attack other speculators, and incidentally to prey upon the public, which is the innocent bystander in these fights among the exchange gamblers.
 MT. Wilson, however, is mistaken in supposing that an act of congress could remedy this evil. He says the bill which Representative Scott of Kansas has introduced would stop the corner ing of the market, and he thinks that it will be enacted next winter. If en- acted it woudl have no effect, and it will not be enacted.

A WORD FOR THE swAMPs

This country has about V,OOO,OOO acres of swamp land, nearly all of it in the Mississippi valley and along the Atlantic coast, and nearly all reclaim able. It is urged that this great and potentially fertile area might be drained and added to the arable terri tory of the country, making a really immense contribution to our national wealth. But is it certain that we should not lose as well as gain by the processP Swamps have their influence in regulating the humidity of a dis triet and in preventing the too rapid escape of water into the rivers, and thence into the sea.
 Their function in thus storing mois- ture until it is needed is very like that expected of the big irrigation dams which, at great expense, the govern ment is building in the west. They have still another use: they retain

FARM LIFE.

Norval D. Kemp of Dayton, O., for mer secretary of President Roosevelt g famous farm life commission, which is chiefly celebrated because it did not make a hit with the farmers, who did not see why they should be "commis- sioned," is still harping away in min or chords. He says measures should be taken to restore rural felicity. City life has not replaced the life that cen tered in the farms, he declares.
 He mourns over the old fashioned cuttings and husking bees and. barn raisings. He deplores the fact there is no longer any such thing as truly rural country society, founded on the life and work of the country, embody- ing high and constructive and realiz- able ideas. He asks, shall we not, in simple justice deypte- ourselves to re- construction Shall we ssnot try to learn where lies the heart of both city and country interests, replacing misun- derstanding and opposition with under standing and co-operationf Our 'coun- try life is the nation s ]purest source, for it is there we renew our blood.
 In California, says the Los Angeles Herald, farm life is at its best: and MT. Kemp's sorrowful picture is of course drawn from eastern models. It is true that the country has to great extent been depopulated by the city, but we believe much is being done at last-to make farm life attractive. Rural free delivery, telephone service, well built schools and high grade, down-to-date teachers, and practical agricultural courses in high schools and colleges, will soon make country life so far superior to city life that the boys will want to stay at home. Farm ing will be recognized as a profession, and the farmer will be called a scien- tist. Let us not forget that it was centuries before the cupping surgeons were emaneipated from the occupation of shaving, and that the barber's pole of today is the surgeons sign of former era. All the professions have been evolved slowly from simple oeeu- pations.

HIGH HEELS AND THE LAW.

High heels on women's shoes have been struck hard blow by Califor- nia judge in a case where a wearer of such shoes sought damages for an in- jury sustained while leaving a street car; wearing shoes with such heels, the judge said, constituted eontributory negligence.
 Courts and lawmakers have been moving rather rapidly against some of the oddities of feminene fashion in re- cent years. But they have not been able to travel very far in any given direction.
 Of course there is a possible defense to be made of high heels on women 's shoes; high heels will make the short woman seem to be taller than she is; they will make the fat woman lean, and the big foot small, and these little nothings mean much to some women.
 But the California judge laid bare one fatal fault in the case of high heels; they make women unsteady on their feet, so unsteady, in fact, that the equilibrist' skill is sometimes re- quired to maintain the normal poise. Moreover, in nine case out of ten, high heels will spoil the wOman's walk, and certainly most women wish to walk in graceful fashion.
 But just so long as men make high heeled shoes, women will wear them, and they will not care a bean whether the courts call it contributory negli- gence, assault and battery, arson or whatnot; indeed, if too much objection is urged to high heels, heels will be- come higher and higher, just as hats have grown in size in the face of ob- lection, and at rate, in some seasons, that threatened to smother the human family beneath a rioting prOfusion of birds, animals, feathers and hub-dub- berries.

OBSOLETE ARMY REGULATIONS.

Col. Febiger, of the. Third infantry, commanding at Fort Spokane, Wash ington, offers the suggestion to the war department that the reveille roll-call, which has been in existence as long as has the army, be abolished forthwith, and as a substitute that there be roll call in the squad rooms, with the men in their hunks. He points out that in the far nothern posts, where the days are short in winter, the assembling of men on the parade grounds before day light exposes them to ehills, and in warmer climates exposure in the morn ing, with empty stomaehs, opens the way for attacks of malaria.
 He adds, and this is a consideration of some considerable importance, that the whole system of treating enlisted men in the army as a lot of naughty children who must be watched and reg ulated to the. last possible point, is ir- ritating to the enlisted men of the American army, always critical of the useless and the antiquated., ''-
 The point of view of Col. Febiger, while it goes contrary to accepted ar my tradition, is worthy. of serious con sideration. Under modern conditions, a considerable degree of intelligence and the power of initiative are essen tial to the high-grade soldier. The ma chine-like "food for powder" has passed the point of usefulness, The army of the United States is composed of young men of relatively good class and more than average intelligence. The army, indeed, now offers a real ca- reer to those who have taste for work of the kind.
 It is an unquestioned fact that the things which drive many away from the army or deter re-enlistments of men who have become well qualified soldiers, are not those necessarily incl dent to the service, but the irritating regulations, relies of previous era which do not make for better disci' pline, nor for better soldering. There could readily be a considerable enlarge ment of the liberty of action of the men in the army without any destrue' tion of discipline and without impair jag in the slightest degree the efieien cy of the men. In short, it seems. pos sible to the laymen to have an efficient army, without the enlisted men being under extremely rigid regulations, sim liar in part to those of a Penitentiary and in part to those of boarding school for small boys.

YUMA CITY COMING RAPIDLY ID
 FRONT
Has 5000 Population, Macadamized Streets
 Cement Sidewalks

YUMA, May 24.-Yuma today, with its 5000 population, maeadamized streets, cement sidewalks, modern lighting and other eonvenienees, credit able business establishments, beautiful homes as well as schools, churches and excellent society, is long stride in ad- vance Of the Yuma of yesterday But if nsturalzadHaAtages argue for aueht, if there is potency in perfect lOea- ton, if surroundings such as have builded the best cities in the country are of worth, then surely the Yuma of tomorrow must needs be the metropolis of the great southwest.
 Situated on the navigable Colorado river, at the transeontinental Southern Pacific crossing of that waterway; southern gateway to California; object i've point of a railroad building from San Diego, which will open a direct route to the illimitable markets of the Orient; possessed of water outlet to the Gulf of California and the Pseihes center of an agricultural and hortieul- tural region beyond compares; head quarters for a mining district rivaling the Klondike in extent and exeefling in richness; blessed with a health-giv- ing atmosphere and skies such as Italy cannot boast, Yuma has in her own right the making of a city of 8 hun dred thousand and that in a few years
 There have been drawbacks and de- lays, disappointments and failures, such as all towns are heir to; but by and all, through good report and ill, the prosperity of Yuma has been more faithful and the effect of financial stringencies less apparent, than most towns can boast. With the completion of the Yuma project, life and vigor are noticeable in every walk and every quarter, Yuma s future is sssurea.
 Today there are openings for numer- ous business enterprises, particularly of manufacturing character. With the growth in population that has already set in, these opportunities will cores pOndingly increase.

PUBLICITY AS A WEAPON.

Former Gov. Folk, of Missouri, said . sound and true thing in Seattle re- gently when he gave it as his opin- ion that publicity is the only weapon against political corruption; that the people must be kept constantly on their guard, and that the only way to do this is through the newspapers. II the public conscience is not awakened no lasting good is done, even in filling the penitentiary full of grafters. More over, publicity helps state rather than injures it. '".
 x Gov. FOX was speaking with refer ence largel yto' what had been accom- plished in his own state in ridding the public service of grafters who had been preyihg upon the public purse, but what he says applies equally to all parts of the country. An instance di- reetly ih7 point 'ts now before the peo- pie of 8 few states. The fact that there were corrupt men in public office in the state of Washington was a mat ter of common notoriety in at least one large, circle taking in people who had been brought directly, in con tact with the graft and who had been victims of it.. ItSiwas not, however, un- til persistent, publicity had been given to this fact through the columns of
 
 one eminent newspaper that a public sentiment was created which forced an investigation which has relieved the public service of that state of one of fender and which will relieve it of an- other, even should it be necessary to call an extra session of the legislature in order that that offender may be i'm peached.
 Such exposures do not injure a com uunity. On the direct contrary, the community is held in higher respect, as one in which corruption is not knowingly tolerated and wherein of lenders, when found out, are promptly dropped out of public life.
 In many other departments of life re- forms are effected solely through the medium of publicity which never could be effected by the power of the law alone, even if the power of the law were always invoked. Publicity is. the strongest aid to the enforcement of the pure food laws for one familiar in stance. of which many illustrations have been seen; and publicity of the manner in which great corporations have been conducted to the public in jury has had far greater influence in bringing about reformation of the manner of conduct of those corpora tions than all of the prosecutions which the government has ever attempted.

within the district of it's origin the fer tile soil which reaches them by eroison. and which would be carried to the sea and lost were all the water running water.
 Thus there are general uses in swamPs, which disappear when they are drained. Is there no way of get ting not only general but special uses out of marshy areas, so that it may be worth their owners while to keep them as they are, while permitting them to conserve the general welfsref Doubtless there is, although very little effort has been made to develop it in this country. China has cultivated along the grand canal, from time i'm memorial, the arts and practices of aquatic farming.
 Professor Herbert Osborn, in an arti- cle in a recent Popular Science Month ly. make number of suggestions as to how an annual return could be got from swamps. His most ingenious but not most practicable one is that marsh es might be converted by the use of suitable dredging appliances, into ai- ternate slips of land and water; the land portions might be utilized for the cultivation of such intensive crops as celery, asparagus, onions, strawberries, etc., the fertility being maintained by the use of dredged muck from the wat CT strips, while the latter might be util- ized for the culture of fish, frogs, clans, turtles, ducks, etc.
 This gridiron scheme of land and water alternate is almost too methodi- cal, and yet, undoubtedly there are swamp crops and products which might be more generally raised, One of them is watereress. Another IS cranberries. Another is the basket willow. The marsh grasses, eat-tails, rushes and slough grasses are used for mating, binding twine, earpeting and furniture. With all our immigration, there should be better market for the pond carp than there was generation ago. when it was first introduced here Cray-fshes, fresh-water claims, frog farms. turtle farms and fish farms are all subject matter for economic enter prises that presuppOses utilizing still water, rather than draining it oil. Pro lessor Osborn even suggests the eul- tivation of the alligator, the beaver, the muskrat and possibly the otter; the muskrat is more or less edible.
 The American is not webfooted, and he has evil memories of the malarious sEamps, that retarded his conquest of the continent; yet it is pertinent that he should be reminded that even marsh may be an asset.-New York World.

MELoDRAMA DOOMED

Yokohama is doomed. No longer will the wicked Roger Blackheart tie the hapless Genevieve to the railroad track, leaving her to be rescued at the last moment by the dashing Jack Slade; no longer will the deep-voiced bays of the hounds start the escaped prisoner in the depths of the forest. Nix on all this. So saith one John Cort, in a recent interview, and MT. Cort not on- " has inside information, but he has taken a star part in driving the afOre- said Blackheart off the boards.
 "We are not booking a single melo- drama for next year," said COrt. "In our bookings for next year we have taken pains to avoid all plays with the least melodmatic tinge. We have found it does not pay. The only hope for a melodrama is to make it so bad that it will be funny. I saw one in Seattle a few weeks ago that filled the house on this account. Five williams were put out of business in the last act by a young girl tied to a post. Public taste is improving steadily. Playgoers are becoming more sophisticated each year and are demanding better class of attractions. We supply shows to 15s houses, and we will keep melodrama out of all of them.'

Powers, president of the Chamber of Commerce, asking that it take steps to add more good road to the proposed territorial north and south road which is proposed to con- meet the following towns: Douglas, Benson, Bisbee, Tucson, Silver Bell, Mesa, Tempe; Phoenix, Hot Springs, Harrington, Crown King, Senator Prescott, Camp Verde, Flagstaff and Grand Canyon. Automobiles are a common means of travelling over the country at present and while in Los Angeles, MT. Norris states, many Peo- pie were enthusiastic over the pro- posed road and were anxious to ship their machines. to Flagstaff and take trial trip over it at the earliest POssi- ble time. .
 The southern people are all working for the early construction of a terri torial highway and the main travel will be towards the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff. This highway will mean almost as much as a railroad to Flag staff and can be secured at very req sonable cost.
