Thsekeray's "Jeames.-

spoke OF him as "Jeames" ani voided

When the boat was halfway across

announced his professional position

guilty of an unwarrantable intrusion.
He was forthwith bundled into a small
boat which was attached to the yacht,
and as the sea was rough he was

When the yacht arrived at Portsmouth

Weepinu Marble.

The activity of surrounding busi-
nesses may have jeopardized more
than one portion of the sacred edifice
of st. Bartholomew the Great. but 1t
was not always safe even at the hands
Of it's own congregation. In the sew
enteenth century the parishioners, in
their combined wisdom, thought the
cloisters would look better If they
were whitewashed and promptly pro-
ceeded to carry out their original idea.
They then found, however, that two
marble statues, which may still be
seen, did not show up well enough
against the white background, so in
order to remedy this defect they had
the images tarred! The same people
wanted to get rid of the fourteenth
century baptismal font In the church
on the ground that 1t was too old for
use. The most curious monument is
that In weeping marble" to Edward
Cooke, scholar and physician, with the
inscription:
Unsluice. we briny foods. What Can ys
Your eyes from teares and see the marble
weep?
Burst out for shame, or II ye ind no vent
For teares yet stay and see the stones re-
lent.
For long time the marble "wept'
without restraint. but since the church
has been reroofed and heated Its pc
culiarity Of "relenting" through damp

Woman.

Woman, the gentlest Of all creatures
Is apt to become masterful and even
tyrannical, this because she is crea-
ture In whose composition emotion
dominates, and emotion when highly
stimulated becomes passion, and pas
sion spurns all reasonable Limitation
and becomes tyrannical. Besides, there
are women with more than ordinary
firm will and persistent purpose. These
when winged by the passion which Is
natural to the sex become intolerant,
masterful and more tyrannical than
men, Qualification to the intense &C
ton of the impassioned soul is treach-
cry, and contradiction is treason. Like
stormy wind, they will have their
sweep and ignore all contraries. And
from this predominance Of the emo
tional element 1t seems plain that,
though woman may try many things
and succeed In most. she Is. with her
normal outfit. materially incapacitated
from being a statesman or a judge

A CHECK IS A GOOD THING.

A CHECK IS A GOOD THING.
 One lame "approver" of the passage of the anti-exafniner and anti-ranger bills tells why it was right that those institutions should be wiped out. The rangers, he says, are a standing ad vertisement of our lawlessness, while the examiner is a public advertise ment, at e-top-of the e-column- next to-pure reading matter, of the dis honesty of our officials. Let us do away, says he, with these blOts on our escutcheon so that the whole world will know that we do not re- quire those checks on our conduct.
 This argument is so ridiculously il logical that it would deserve no at tention but for the circumstance that some of the legislators themselves use it as an excuse for their votes.
 It is no disgrace to any city to be well policed, and it is no reflection upon a business house or a city to take businesslike precautions against the dishonesty of its employees or of- ficials. The best cities are the best policed, and the higher the standing of a commercial or financial firm the more rigid its precautions against dishonesty.
 We know that when the ranger force was organized the ranges were overrun with rustlers and that there were many groups of cutthroats, bad men and train robbers. We know that there is no cattle stealing now; there have been no train robberies in recent years, and there is not a known bad man in the territory.
 Whether or not a public examiner was needed, it is a matter of record and of common knowledge, that he found many officials who needed strengthening up; some careless, oth- CTS thieving, and that he did straighten them up; that he turned into the territorial and county treas uries many thousands of dollars which would never have been missed, and certainly never would have been recovered.
 It is well enough for us to talk about our law abiding character and our inborn integrity. But there is a erOOd deaI of bof air a aho1lt if Some of us are law abiding and honest only because we do not want to get caught being anything else and sent to the penitentiary.
 Our reputation before the world will be all the better for those de- vices which make us behave

A BUSINESS MANS PROTEST


 We quote elsewhere from a letter by MT Albert Steinfeld of Tucson, in protest against the railroad legisla- tion now pending in the house and council. Mir. Steinfeld is only one of a score of Tucson business men who have sent such protests at the re- quest of the organized railway em- ployes. We mention especially MT Steinfeld's objection to the legislation for the reason that if any man could be benefited more than any other by such legislation it would be he.
 MT. Steinfeld is one of the heaviest shippers of the territory, is deeply interested in securing the lowest pos sible rates, and he is now and for some time has been engaged in try ing to secure reduced rates through the operation of the Hepburn act, certainly as effective as any that our legislature could devise. No one doubts that if he believed he could reach the same end, or that if he believed there was the slightest possibility of reaching it, that he would never have written discouraging the enactment of the legislation.
 Mir. Steinfeld probably has better understanding of the subject than any man in the territory with the excep- tion of, perhaps, a very few gentle men who stand very high in the rail- road world
 If in his opinion the legislation would be illegal and nothing more, he would probably conclude that there could be no harm beyond a waste of time in enacting it. His objection to it, therefore, must be the same as that of other business men who have joined in the protest, that it would be worse than illegal in that it would be disturbing not alone to the railroads, but to employees and the whole territory, which is now await ing the railroad development which was arrested more than two years ago by similar disturbing legislation in many parts of the country.
 The railroad employees who are now here fighting the measures do not be- lieve that the legislation would be
Arizona republican., 1909-02-09

effective as intended. But they do believe that it would be followed by more or less of a disturbance for months, resulting in a lessened serv- ice, the pulling off of trains, the throwing men out of employment. a condition often followed by a reduc- ton of the wages of those who are employed.
