MAKES CAPITAL or KNOWLEDGE.
Advice for the Worker Just Getting a
Start In His Career.


When you get job just think of
Yourself as actually starting out in
business yourself. as really working
for yourself. Get as much salary as
you can, writes Orison SWEET Marden
In the Success Magazine, but remem.
Der that that Is very small part of
the consideration. You have actually
gotten an opportunity to get right into
the very heart of the great activities
OF large concern, to get close to men
VINO do things; an opportunity to alb.
sorb knowledge and valuable secrets
on every hand; an opportunity to
drink In, through your eyes and your
ears, knowledge wherever you go in
the establishment, knowledge that will
be invalua BILE to you In the future.
Every hint and every suggestion
which you can pick up, every bit Of
knowledge you can absorb, you should
regard as part of your future capital
which will be worth more than money
capital when you start out for your
self
Just make mp your mind that you
are going to be o sponge In that In.
stitution and absorb every particle OF
Information and knowledge, every sug.
gestion possible.

The Riddles.

The increasing respect for children
is beginning to make itself folt on all
sides. Little boys and girls are no
longer put OF with careless words and
second rate toys. They are studied
with constant thought by parents, sci
entists devise their playthings, and 1T.
erary and artistic celebrities" make
the books. OF these things modern
children are not unappreclative. II
they are growing hypercritical in some
directions they are becoming very toll
Grant in others, and not infrequently
they understand their parents little
shortcomings much better than do
those humiliated elders" themselves.

NOTICE.
HITTING AT DEPOSIT GUARANTY LAWS

The bank deposit guaranty" states form a straight north and south strip in the center of the continent, and the states that came within an ace of adopting similar laws last winter are all neighbors- It is an interesting case of geographical specialization in legislation. However, there are great Varities in the character of the laws of the five states which have already acted. Texas, Kansas and South Dakota have voluntary systems under state supervision, framed on various plans. Nebraska and Oklahoma have compulsory laws. with the difference, however, that the Nebraska law con tains vastly better provisions for safe banking than does the Oklahoma law, and with the further difference that the Oklahoma law is in practical op- eration, while the Nebraska law was enjoined by the federal courts at the very moment when it was to take effect
 
 struggling 'hard to survive the legal difficulties in their way. The Okla homa law Is being attacked by de positors of failed bank, who object to any assets being used to pay off depOsitors till all the depositors in the bank in. question can be paid to- gether And this is only one of sev- eral. suits attacking it The Nebraska law has just lost the first round in the federal court. Judge Munger has decided that a law which both for bids banking except by incorporated companies and which compels all the incorporated companies to be parties to the deposit guaranty scheme, and therefore coningently to use their assets to pay the debts of failed banks, is in conflict with both state and federal constitutions, which guar antee citizens against loss of priyi- 1 Ieges and property without due pro cess of law.
 If the compulsory laws are defeat ] ed In the courts in their present ! forms some of these western states 1 arc certain to revise them so that | they will hold good, for the people i of that part of the country are de- | termined on having their bank depos- its guaranteed. But even without this. 1, the voluntary system will have fair l chance of showing in the long run ! whether a conseryatively managed | guaranty system can be made sue cess.

The democrats of Arizona Will have no explanations to make in the next campaign whether it be a statehood or territorial campaign. In control Of the legislature almost continual ly since the territory was created, the democrats have provided wise laws and promoted a condition in Arizona, so far as government is concerned. which has won the admiration of the entire country. If the democrats are entrusted with the government of the new state there wHi be no doubt that it will be excellent. It is his tory that the republicans have made bad mess of things every time they have controlled legislature. This was especially the case in what was known as tie ''hold-ovs.." legis- lature in 1899.

boards of trades in the country. IL is territorial board. sort of local auxiliary to the interstate commerce commission. It has done good work and it still doing it on behalf of every consumer in the territory. It is safe to say that whether Arizona be a state or territory the railroad com. mission has come to stay.
 The primary law was godsend to the people It stands between them and the interruptions politician. It sounded the death knell to convention packers and ward heelers. Too often the will of the people was not repre- sented in political nominations. but under the primary law the people themselves do the nominating, anc the Australian ballot. another wise Democratic measure, preserves the purity of the ballot box.
 The county of Greenlee was a unanimous measure It had the sup port of all parties and won the com mendation of Graham county, out of which the new county was segregated.
 Another good bill that must not be overlooked in the local option bill It destroys saloons as a privileged class and subjects the control of the business to a majority vote of the people. Surely there was nothing bitter or personal about it.
 The admonition of Mir. Taft was well meant and for his good inten- tions the people of Arizona are appre- ciative without regard to creed or color, but at the same time We are inclined to believe that had he well the situation he would have been commendatory of the people who are to frame and make the constitu- ton rather than censorious When he constitution of Arizona is framed

Arizona is entitled to statehood by every precedent in the history Of statehood making in this country. It has the taxable wealth sufficient to maintain a state government and it's citizens possess the intelligence and patriotism to guarantee govern ment which will be creditable to the new state and the government as we'll. With the great influences now working for the passage of the Ari- zoaa statehood bill it would seem that we are son to emerge from the territorial wilderness. This is the hope of every Arizonan
