Increase insignificant.

If you are a property owner the
slight increase in your levy will be
insignificant in comparison with the
pride and pleasure that will inure to
you and yours in the possession of a
place for recreation when you are
weary and want rest-where sunlight,
or starlight, with the fragrance of
foliage and flowers and the spray OF
fountains, bring sweet repose.
If you are not a property owner,
do not for that reason fail or refuse
to discharge the duties of citizenship
but go like a man and help secure
for the city of your birth or adoption
her rghtful heritage, remembering
that SHANE and honor from no con-
dition rise-to act well your part is
where all honor lies"
Above all things do not permit in
nate or instilled prejudice against the
Traction Company to deter you from
discharging your solemn obligation to
your proud and pretty city, which
just now must rely upon the arbitra-
ment of your ballot in determining
whether her progress shall continue
onward and upward or turn back and
downward.

MISPLACED ACT OF KINDNESS
Motherly Woman Meant Well, but
Sequel Made Her Look Like
kidnaper

Paul's mamma at times fairly ex-
to every child she meets. At least
it did until recently, when she had a
setback that has since held her feel
ings visibly in check. Now IL you
questioned her in that respect she
would admit sadly that kindness to
strange children does not always pay.
The change of heart arrived because
of an incident on certain day when,
ferociously riding her hobby of moth
erly kindness to all childhood. she
made hurried dart across Broadway
to board a certain car.
As she reached the step, breathless
but safe, the vision before her was
that of a large, comely, well-dressed
woman comfortably climbing to the
platform and into the car, utterly I'M
mindful of the small, overdressed
child in her wake, endeavoring to
emulate her every action.

ness in her grasp Paul's mamma lift.
ed the child in her arms, and so en-
tered the car, setting the small girl in
the aisle as she took her seat. AS
she did so the child for the first time
turned and, looking her full in the
face broke out into loud wall, which
attracted attention.
The large, comedy woman was COM
fortably seated at the far end as
Paul's mother, putting her arms pro-
tectingly about the bawler, pointed
her out to the weeping youngster.
There she Is, dear There's moth
er. Run along to mother"
I'm not her mother" was the
startling rejoinder. 81 never saw the
/ child before. When she ran across

HIGH PRICES AND ECONOMY.

James J. Hill is moved by tho pres ent conditions in this country tp re- mark that history shows that the high cost of living is the beginning of every national decline" and to. ad. wise economy on the part of the na. tion and of individuals.
 We know of no subject that inter. ests the people more than that O. high prices, whether they are study ing the lessons Of history or not. Sen ator Aldrich and his monetary com mission, debates over the constitu- ton, policies and problems to which excited statesmen are giving much at tention may be overlooked in the home, but the demands of grocers and butchers are discussed daily by house wives. They agree with one another that such times were never known. Veterans whose experiences go back to the civil war assert that, all things considered, existing conditions are the worst yet. They express their opin- ions frankly to the grocers and butch CTS, who take refuge in the only course that is open to them. Like politicians under fire, they pass the charges along and tell of the exactions of the wholesalers. They mourn with , their customers and are free to admit that such things should not be. But they want to know what they can do. , There are the prices stacked up against them, and does any reason able woman believe that they should [ sell at a loss?
 Ali this testimony to the facts is on the side of Mr. Hill. but we imag- inc that the purchasing agents of the family would have little sympathy
 with his hints concerning economy.
 The high prices. they might say, re i suited in a forced economy. They
 were compelled to economize in order
 to live. They bought less ard still
 could not save. They were not a.2rn'

cAMERoN's PREPosTER- oUs PRETERSIoNS.

Congressman Cameron Is spreading molaves to catch flies by claiming the honor of the presidents visit to Arizona He is not entitled to any credit and the absurdity of such claim becomes all the more flaring and ap- parent because the facts of the visit are well known to all Arizonans. When the itinerary of the presidents jour ney was made known it became very apparent that Arizona would see lit tie or nothing of him unless they rush ed the Grand Canyon to a finish. He expected to enter the territory at the Needles, on the Colorado, and leave 1t at Gallup, on the borders of New Mex ico. When this announcement was made Col. w. S. Sturges, national com mitteeman, got busy and through his personal influence succeeded in in ducing the president to so change his plans that he would enter the territory at Yuma, pass through the Salt River valley, see Phoenix with it's agricul- tural wonders and Prescott, the mile high city, and then the Grand Canyon. Col Sturges, as a second effort, tried to have him visit Tucson. but did not succeed in this, although his efforts were highly appreciated by the people of that city, and if the people of Phoe- niv and nrescnft were not aDDreciatiye of his efforts they ought to be. Cam eron had no more to do with the itin- erary of the president, either in Ari- zona or out of it, than did Miguel, chief of the long haired Yumas. That he should put forward such preposter- ous claim is an evidence not only of weakness but of willingness to sal! his little boat under any kind of color he thinks will catch the passing breeze.

purchaser of American goods. and Cuba is eighth among our customers. We simply have to buy of them if we would keep up our consumption of sugar and coffee. The independence is on their side We have a sugar production of our own that is increas- ing, but it will be many years at best before it is sufficient for the home consumption, and BraziTs coffee can never be dispensed with. It consti- tuted more than eight-tenths of the entire coffee importations during the last fiscal year and was probably sold under all names.
 In spite of Brazil's natural. monop- oly. however, it is. as we have noted, far from being first among exporters to the United States. The United Kingdom and Germany lead, in this list as in the other; France ranks 4, Canada 6, Japan and Mexico 8. We buy highly finished manufactured products from Europe and Japan. And we shall continue to do so because we have the inclination and the pur- chasing power. But our export trade = Japan during the last nine months was only about one-third the import trade. The Japanese are keen com petitors, and though the population of the country is large it is not wealthy, not of relatively high consuming pow CT.
 South America is a particularly in yiting field because it has a great ex- tent of thinly populated, undeveloped territory that will sustain large pop ulation and that is capable of i'm mense development. Canada gives us an illustration of what might happen there under favorable conditions of growth. Mexico affords an example of trade cement in Latin Amer ica under stable government. Our trade is increasing everywhere, the greater part is still with Europe, but the percentage of increase in the future should be notably large in this hemisphere, and in the southern half of this hemisphere. Furthermore, it will be if the trade receives the at tention it deserves and an impetus is given to immigration and the opening up oc new land in South America.

THE~coURsE OF INTERNATIONAL TRACE.

Much has been written about the possibilities of our trade with China, but China as it is and always has been is not a promising subject. The possibilities depend very much upon a Chinese awakening and change in Chinese industrial conditions. We sell in greatest quantities where there is the ability to buy and where, with that ability, there is pressing need of cer- tain American products. The United Kingdom is by far our largest GUS toner. and Germany. Canada, France, the Netherlands and Italy follow in the order named. These are all coun- tries of advanced western civilization, and all of them except Canada are thickly populated. It is to be noted further that in proportion to its popu' Iation Canada has the high consuming power. It is energetic, intelligent wealth-producing. Unlike the Euro pean nations, it has little need of our grain, but it is developing rapidly and finds that it is to its advantage to purchase manufactures of various sorts in the American market.
 As Europe depends upon us for cer tain food products so we depend upon Cuba and Brazil. Cuba ranks third Brazil fifth in our own import trade though the latter Is a relatively smal

NOTICE.
FAVOR REGULATION, NOT PROHIBITION.
Douglas International.) )


 Many claims are advanced as to what the abolition of the saloon would do for Douglas, but these claims do noa seem to be supported by the fact. and conditions which naturally sur. round the city. It is difficult in any event and any locality to obtain a strict enforcement of prohibition. The open saloon is followed by the blind tiger where the worst of liquors are sold. But here in Douglas it is more difficult to enforce such a law than in other sections of Arizonaetaoietao in other sections of the country. Just across the line is Agua Prieta and with Douglas dry Agua Prieta would be wet.
 Fully ninety per cent of the cases which arise in the local courts from drink are Mexicans. In seyenty-fiye per cent of these cases the drink was not bought in Douglas but across the line. In Mexico the cost of liquor is less than in this country and the re- suit would be no falling off of the number of drunkenness cases in court. On the contrary. there would be like ly to be an increase. for the same amount of money spent there as here would produce a greater inebriation. There can be no doubt that saloons would move across the line and once there there would be no restraint up- on them than here and many is the night of it" that would be made over the International line.
 The young man who drinks in Doug las has in mind the restraining in Euence of the possibility of meeting his father or mother, his sister, some relative or his employer or some friend of these. He is more careful than if away from home where there is nothing to hold back his self in- diligence. There is not the tempta- ton to drink at home, but there is the added temptation of removal and of seeing the sights" which would make the saloon more enticing than if close at hand.
 The International believes that proper restraints and restrictions should be placed around the saloons and that by doing this better results would be obtained than by sending the liquor traffic over to Mexico.
 The prohibition of the sale of liquor is nothing but sumptuary legislation and as such is antogonistic to the primary principles of democracy.
 The International here and now goes on record as opposed to the pro position to close the saloons of Co chise county.
 But the International may be de pended upon in the future as in the past to support all propositions for more strict regulation of the saloon and liquor traffic.

 He no sooner got out of court than he entered the P. & J. bar on Main street.Here he is alleged to have made himself obnoxious to such a degree that it was necessary for Charles 'Prahl who was tending bar at tine time, to chastise him.
 He did so it is claimed with right jolt to Hendricks jaw that had enough steam behind it to break tho jaw bone. Hendricks went down and out and it was necessary to call the Palace ambulance which took him to the c. & A. hospital for repairs. No arrests were made.

PHOENIX MAN MAKES AEROPLANE FLIGHT

PHOENIX, Nov 23.-In an aero plane constructed from original ideas, Gates Fowler of this city made a flight of 200 yards attached by cable to a motor car. He collided at an altitude of thirty feet with an electric wire. The tow and hawser parted and the machine settled gracefully to the earth, with no damage. The plane is built on a flexible curve in- stead of straight line. and swings in pendulum fashion. overcoming the tendency of changeable air currents to throwsit out of balance.
