The Arizona
 Pioneer Lore

Literature refecting pioneer conditions in Arizona, is like fruit cake in one respect. the older 1t gets, the better it he comes.
 There Is an ever increasing demand in literary and maga- zine circles for this class of matter.
 IL is conceded that very soon, Miss Arizona will have to put her playthings aside and make her debut into the society of her older sisters.
 While desired from the in- exorable standpoint of com mercial progress. it is with an indefnable pang of regret that We bid goodbye to the grand, old ways of our fathers. with all their freshness, their vigor and their nearness to nature, and take up the straight and prudish role which the new regime imposes.
 IL will be hard at frs. to look back on the fading past with all of its wild delicious memories, and then the re- minders of those days in prose and verse and song and story and a thousand other monu- ments of the eventful past will become more precious every hour; every Arizonan having little pioneer museum in his library and another in his loyal heart.
 Among those who have reaped and garnered volumes of such treasures and who now reside in Cochise county, Charles T. Connell and Frank Alley (Mescal) are prominent, each one being in possession of all invaluable mass of liter atYre, memorandum. statis- tics and pictures reflecting the early days of the strug- gling territory. which they will give to the public in at- tractive form in the near fu- ture.
 Each works largely in a diff trent field, and the two. cover practically all the "dips, spurs and angles" of the romantic subject.
 Such matter will be prized. more and more, as the ranks of the pioneer become thinner and thinner.

Could he be unfaithful TO the will Of the
people? Hardly, when IT was his will
in the first instance.
All this, however, is only the minor
phase Of a great scheme, genuine plan.
The immediate profits are SO certain
and alluring that they would monopo-
lie the attention Of mere politician.
But MIR. PARSONS is q statesman. He
knows that after the game is won, after
the profits are delivered, so far as
profits are possible--that the great, wise,
far seeing public will suddenly wake up
to the fact. They will appreciate that
they have been fooled, deluded, tricked,
that direct nominations was the cause
of their betrayal. Analyzing the mas
terly method in which the splendid trick
has been turned, their indignation at
the system will be Enthusiastically
unrestrained.
Then, in that moment of tumultuous
outcry, Mr., PARSONS will again take the
platform, point with irrefutable and con-
vincing logic to his own declared opposi-
ton to the direct nominations plan
He never believed in it-he has always
declared his conviction that the people
would lose by it. Then amidst the
cheers of an admiring and enthusiastic
county committee he will move that
direct nominations be abandoned as
unrepresentative, impractical and I'M
American-as the best aid to con-
scienceless boss, and therefore unworthy
of practice hy n PARSONS directed or
ganization, Carried unnnimously-and
three cheers for PARSONS!
From time to time even the wisest in
public life in this city awaken TO the
realization that they have done the Hon.
HERBERT Parsons an injustice, have
underrated and underestimated his
craftsmanship. II there were needed
proof OF this craftsmanship, we think
this latest exploit, achievement, triumph
of pure intellect would show it. Other
statesmen have overthrown their enc
mics, but it remained for Mr.. PARSONS
to show that such an overthrow could
be accomplished with profit that even
destruction could furnish dividend.

The City Hall clock was out of order
again all day Yesterday. Frequently in
the day it was set in motion, and it is
reported that soon it will he performing
its functions properly. We trust that
the clock will receive hereafter that care
and attention it deserves. The Hon.
PATRICK HENRY MCGOWAN should not
allow frivolous and unimportant mat
tiers to occupy his time to the serious
arrangement Of the city's time. If he
has no political acumen, if he is fatu-
OILS enough 10 think that so serious a
dereliction will be overlooked by the
public, he demonstrates conolusiveIy his
unfitness for the office he holds and
for any other office. This self-revela-
ton Of incompetence may be welcomed.
1t comes when there is yet opportunity
for the citizens to restrain their desire
to make him Mayor. But even the
joyful consciousness of danger averted
shall not be allowed to relieve him from
the performance of his duty.
Nor need Mr.. MCGOWAN think that he
can escape the consequences of his in
attention TO the needs of the City Hall
clock and the necessities and habits of
the community by charging respon-
sbility for the recent and undeniable
vagaries Of this timepiece TO electri-

Perhaps no one but Frenchman would
think OF making an analytic survey OF the
contents Of his matchbox in order to
evolve politico-eoonomio argument; but
this is what one JEAN LEcoo has done.
He has published the results In Paris
newspaper. and they afford a neat illus
trauon OF the blessing Of State owned
industries.
LEcoo bought the box OF matches for
10 centimes. which Is as near as may be
10 eight cents. They were plain. ordinary
wooden matches-those OF them that were
matches at oil, As for the rest. he found
that 81 per cent. OF the contents OF the
box consisted Of slivers. stumps and frag-
ments of wood without a trace Of sui
phur or phosphorus. Next he counted
20 per cent. Of little sticks Of wood tipped
with sulphur but without particle OF
phosphorus, and therefore impossible to
light. This made 90 per cent OF the whole.
The remaining 10 per cent, he says. had
both sulphur and phosphorus, and there
fore had distinct appearance OF being
matches. However. he bitterly remarks.
with things Governmental appearances
are often deceItful. In fact when he tried
to strike these semblanoes OF matches
"a per cent (of the original contents OF
the box were absolute mis1res (rates),
while only le per cent. broke into flame
and so performed the functions for which
matches are designed.
Thus 1t appears that "a per cent. OF the
eight cent box OF matches was useless, and
only 10 per cent good for any thing. The
manufacture and sale Of matches is
State monopoly in France. The official
Government sta atistics for 1908 show that
the years profit from the monopoly was
27,4e5,527 francs. or $S,4oeio5.4o.
1t may be added that even those French
matches which will light are a hundred
years behind the times in point OF quality.

American people at a little more than
sl2, 200, 100000 year. That both the
first cost and the retail price Of most OF
the articles on the list could be and
should be materially reduced there can
be no question. AS THE SUN has as
severuted and as Mr.. POWELL declares,
very few Of our farmers have even a
vague notion OF the cost Of their prod
ucts. The makers Of farm implements,
OF clothing, hats, shoes, furniture and
other articles bought by farmers know
to the fraction Of cent the cost OF their
merchandise. There ara and there can
De no wasteful or haphazard methods
in manufacturing or in commercial
business. The inevitable penalty OF
indifference to cost in those lines is
failure. Except in rare instances no
other methods are followed on the farm.
In that industry it Is not the producer
upon whom the penalty falls. The con-
sumer pays for the waste. indifference
and ignorance OF the producer.
Because of sundry legends handed
down from generation to generation
there is a general belief that n farmers
life is of arduous and poorly requited toll.
Much of that belief is utter nonsense.
The average farmer works no harder
to-day than does the average man In
any other line Of industry. His reward
is determined chiefly by the intelligence
which he applies to his operations.
Farmers whose hayfelds show one
third grass and two-thirds weeds. who
are satisfied with 200 pounds of cotton
or 100 bushels OF potatoes or 20 bushels
Of corn to the acre, who say that they
"can't afford to spray their apple trees,
who leave their wagons, their plougfrs,
harrows, and hoes in the fields and fence
corners to rust and rot, are usually poor
and worthy of no better condition. For
their plight we have pity but no
sympathy. Unfortunately, they repre-
sent large percentage Of their kind
and they demand and receive consid-
GRAFTON far beyond their merits.
This is a far reaching question. 1t
has been too much neglected. The
pith Of the matter is that the American
people pay every year scores Of millions
Of dollars to maintain lot Of foolish
traditions about the farmer and the
planter. We scold the Beef Trust" if
the price of meat is advanced. We
blame the baker and the miller If the
size Of a loaf is reduced or its price in
creased. We criticise the tariff and the
transportation companies as the pro-
voking causes of high cost of living.
Some day the root Of the matter will be
reached and the producers Of our food
supplies will be compelled to make
unit cost the dominant factor in their
industry as it is in other lines.

The Farmers NastefuIness,

It would be well for the country If
several millions Of our fellow citizens
could see the economic situation az
clearly and appreciate it as sanely as
does Mr.. GEORGE T. POWELL whose
letter on The Farmers Wastefulness"
we published on June II. Mr.. POWELL
declares that the most urgent problem
before our nation to-day is not the
tariff but the prevention of the great
vasteiulness in agricultural methods
that occurs everywhere in the United
States, and the dissemination Of scien-
tifc information that shall lead to soil
restoration and improvement The
!proposition is irrefu table.

organization or person except himself.
1t is his business to keep the City Hall
clock going. He must not let it stop
or run down or go fast or go slow.
He must see that it is wound up and
regulated and oiled and kept in motion
regardless Of every other consideration,
engagement and obligation. 1t may
be pleasant for Mr.. MCGOWAN to dis
tribute diplomas to pretty girls and
we'll set up boys in the schools OF this
town, as it is reported he was doing on
Monday when the clock stopped. No
doubt he enjoys such dissipation. But
what effect does 1t have on the children
to behold him neglecting his duty to the
city for the sake of pleasure?
Let this man MCGOWAN perform his
part properly and some day he may
be Mayor, but If he acts in the future as
he has in the recent past he will find
himself mighty soon in the charge and
keeping OF Tom FOLEY, the Sheriff OF
the county OF New York!

Tho Candidates for the Presbyterian
Pulpat.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrS-Sir: Per-
hsps you can give me some common sense
reason for the secrecy with which the New
York Presbytery at it's meeting last Mon
day conducted the examination Of the
three Union Theological Seminary students
who had been barred at . previous meeting
because OF their beliefs.
Here were three young men spplyingfor
licenses TO preach the Gospel OF Jesus Christ
from Presbyterian pulpits. Their view
and beliefs apparently were 20 much a.
variance with current Presbyterian ortho-
doxy that they failed on the FIRST examina-
ton. and a committee was appointed to
confer with them. The result OF this first
examination was spread before the public
in the newspapers. and what purported to
be some OF the beliefs Of these young men
we're published on hearsay, because that
first examination also was conducted be-
hind closed doors.
With the facts before the public In
necessarily imperfect way, one would have
expected to find the Presbytery last Mondav
considering the qualifications OF these
young men in the open. Al least that was
the common sense notion that entered ny
head when / dropped into the First Pres
byterian Church to listen to the examine
ton. I was surprised and puzzled 10 find
the doors guarded like those of a Grand Jur'
room and credentials demanded.
One OF the officers OF the Presbytery said
after the meeting that they would gladly
make the answers OF the young men puolic
II these answers had been stenographically
reported. They would not however. sa?
anything from memory. for fear they might
do the young men an injustice. fu,her'
more they were pledged not 10 talk about
