THE GROWTH OF PHOENIX.

A condition is prevalent in Phoenix now for the first time at this season of the year. More people are coming to town than are going out, and many of them are coming to become residents. Usually at this season of the year the outflow of the winter population is swift and uninterrupted. There has been no counter current.
 The winter resident is Hitting now as he always has gone and as he always will fit at this time of the year from a tropical or sub tropical residence, but for every one who goes, one is comming now. not for reasonS of climate or health.
 This state of things was brought to the attention of the least observ- ing on Saturday night when the streets were thronged as they had been at no time during the winter, not even on Christmas eve-as they had not been since the territorial fair nights.
 Building is proceeding even more rapidly than last fall when the record was breaking every day. The houses are generally of good character and almost all of them have either been engaged in advance or are sold or rented before the carpenters vacate them.
 Phoenix has been growing for the last three years, but at times, almost imperceptibly except to the close see ing. Now anybody with his eyes open, can see it grow.

on the face of it, the motive of the adherents of both sides is personal; with either side the advantage to be derived by the county at large from the location of a bridge at this or that point is only incidental.
 Thus, we may say that the motives mainly are selfish, but there are times when selfishness is not inn proper. People cannot be expected to be altruistic in the matter of locating bridges as between rival sites.
 So the only thing to be done is to show clearly to taxpayers the super iority of one contention over the other and for that purpose the col umns of The Republican are open.

FACIOlOGY AT THE CIRCUS. SeIIs-Floto Here Soon.

] Did you ever study people? Did you ever think of the philosophy of face Circus life provides an opportunity ! to study human nature that is not of | fered in any other avenue of earthly | existence" says the press agent of the Sells-Flot Circus, who was in the city l recently.
 An experienced circus man can tell the mean, cross husband who passes ! his wife and yells at her when she asks for money to go to the circus. He can
 pick the young couples who will be happy in the matrimonial sphere from those who will seek the divorce court. The funny side of human beings crops out eXtravagantly in the circus crowds at a circus. For example, l noticed an individual who was having one big time. His moods offer a large field of study to those interested fin faciology. When I first saw him he got near the elephant, 'Hetty Green
 the thief Ok the herd. She stole his cigarettes, his new straw hat and a
 box of candy he had in his coat pocket and ate them. His face took on the lock of sorrow and anger. But he caught sight of a French professor manicuring the toenails of the elephant Ward McAllister,' the dude of the bunch, and his face changed from sor- how to a sly look of Well, I'll be hanged,'
 But the climax of his facial express sion came when Lon Moore. the world premier clown , did his automobile, clown band. barber shop. Indian comic opera stunts, and walking over ele- plants, camels and horses on his fin gers. The mans sides shook and he laid over and rolled out of the reserved seats into the hippodrome track. al most bursting with laughter"
 By the way. the Armour Dapple Grays are with the Sells Floto Shows this season, which comes to Phoenix, April 15.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION

The bridge controversy is agitating this county m9e than any other question which has been raised in re- cent years, and inevitably it is a sectional controversy, Phoenix people generally favoring the Center street site while Tempe people are solidly for the Tempe site.
 Three questions are inyolved-the effect on Phoenix, the effect on Tempe and the effect on the county and taxpayers at large. The latter is really the only issue involved.
 As a Phoenix institution, The Re- publican would in the nature of things favor the Center street site, but it is more than a Phoenix insti- tuition. It is concerned in what con- cerns the whole county, in what is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number; nor can it disregard the claims of a minority.
 We may put it another way: The fact that the controversy is a sec tional one precludes the possibility of adopting a policy with regard to it without also becoming sectional.
 Most of our readers on both sides of the question understand this and are content with securing a presenta- tion of their views on the subject The Republican will cheerfully, as it has already done, accord them such an opportunity, but it would suggest that articles relating to the bridge question should consist of arguments entirely free from acrimony and from exaggerated statements which can in the end serve no useful purpose.
 It is unnecessary for either side to impugn the motives of the other. for

PHOENIX, ARIZ,. APRIL 12. 1909
PROBATE JUDGES DIsBARRED


 The Nogales Oasis has made the discovery that the late legislature has made it impossible for probate judges to practice law in the counties where they reside. Whether or not this has been done unintentionally, as so many things were done, it has been done effectually by section of the act amending the law for the drawing of juries. As under the old law this is done by the chairman of the board of supervisors, the clerk Of the district court and the probate judge, but the new law prohibits any of these parties practicing in the dis trict court of the county where the jury is drawn.
 In the larger counties, it makes little difference, since the probate court consumes the time of the judge whose salary enables him to live. In the smaller counties there is little probate business and a correspond ingly little salary which it has been the practice of the judges to eke out by practicing law.
 It was a fool precaution if it was intended as a precaution. The draw ing of a jury is purely a matter of lottery. A probate judge could no more influence the selection of a jury than a Sunday school child could stack the cards.

unconscIous Worry.

A great many people worry uncon- sciously, says O. s. Warden in Success Magazine. They don't understand why they are so tired in the morning, why their sleep was so disturbed and troubled
 This mental disturbance Is often caused by the habit of taking things too serious ly, carrying too great a weight of respon- sibility. Everywhere we see people who take life too seriously. Most of us are like the motorman, who not only starts and stops the car and tries to keep from running over people, but also feels tre- mendous anxiety and responsibility about the motive power.
 One of most helpful lessons life can impart is that which shows us how to do our work as well as 1t can be done and then let principle take care o8 the result. How often have we been amassd to md things come out much better than we an- ticipated; to find that the great unseen Power that governs our lives through a wilderness of trial and tribulation into the open, has guided our ship through the fogs of difficulties and, of sorrow, through storms of hardshps and losses. safely into port.
 The pilot does not lose heart when he cannot see his way. He turns to that mysterious compass which sees as plain ly in the fog, and guides as faithfully in the tempests, as when the sea Is like glass. We are in touch with a Power greater than any compass greater than any pilot, Power that can extricsts uG from the most desperate dtuatton.

Don't Be an Inltator.

The imitator, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine, ruins his capacity for originality; for initiative; he loses his creative power; his inventiveness and re- sourcefulness are never developed. In fact his executive ability-the ability to originate, to do things-is seriously crip- pied if not utterly destroyed by his ef- forts to initiate someone else.
 No human being, ever yet made a suc- cess trying to be somebody else, no mat ter how great or successful that person might be. Success cannot be successfully A man is failure just in proportion as he gets away from himself.
 When Henry Ward Beecher and Philips Brooks were at the height of their fame hundreds of young clergymen tried to copy their style, their mannersms, their mode of expression, gestures, habits, but they fell as far short of the power of either of these giants as the common chromo falls short of the masterpiece Not one of these initators ever amounted to anything until he stopped copying, i'm itating and began to build on his owr foundations.
 A great many clergymen today merely echo other preachers sermons which they have read and absorbed. The ma. jority of the books published are imita. tions of previous books, ecnoes of the authors whose style and plots the writers have copied. But these copied sermon. and books lack vitality, force. natural ness They do not stir the blood or toucf the heart of the nearer or reader. The, are cold, lifeless.

BUSINESS CLOUDS
 ARE FLEEING AWAY

Washington. July 2-The silver lining of the clouds of business depression that darkened the industrial sky Is about all the government statisticians saw during the month of May. The statsticians re- view of the internal commerce of the Uni ted States during the month, as shown by bulletin of the department of com merce and labor, has an optimistic tone.
 While the volume of live stock and grain movements was below that for May of the preceding two years, and there appeared also a slight check in the up- ward trend of the coal and lumber traf- f1c, the transportation, manufacturing and building activities are reported as im- proved.
 The coke output and shipments showed continuous improvement in answer to the larger demand of the iron furnaces. Increased takings of cotton and wool were interpreted as indicating a greater actv ity in the textile industry, while larger shipments of boots and shoes from the chief distributing centers served the sta tisticians as an index of more regular industrial improvement. The building ac- tivity in the larger cities of the country was reported as unusually heavy. Traffic operations of railroads judging by the total number of freight cars handled and the number of idle cars reported, were not up to the high record of 1907, though comparisons with May, 1908, showed a considerable improvement for practically all sections of the country.
