GYPsIEs IN TOWN.

A band of Gypsies. one man and two
women reached Mesa yesterday morn
ing. The man at once began his horse
trading while the women told fortunes.
Fred Baby came in from Desert
Wells yesterday morning where the
band were camped Saturday night and
gave it as his opinion that the women
can do about the neatest job of ordi-.
nary every day, old fashioned cussing
that he has ever heard. There is a
small charge made for water at Desert
Wells and after the Gypsies had water
ed their stock they were indignant
when asked to pay. They pleaded that
they had no money, but Mr.. Baby
had evidence that they had just re-
ceived $500 in a horse trade and re-
fused to believe them. The women
folks began a TRADE of swearing. which
according to Mr.. Baby was the worst
he had ever heard from man or wom-
an The man remained silent throug-
out the procedure, probably thinking
that it would be the best thing for him
to do

return to their original plan of showing
three nights each week. Tuesday.

USEFUL GRADUATE ORGAN

In mapping out a definite program
to which Il will devote itself, the
Eastern High School Graduates Asso-
citation has inaugursted a policy which
is certain IN have beneficial results.
Organization OF the graduate Of the
several schools in the District is al
ways desirable. This is especially so
when such an organization pledges At
sci. TO work for the betterment of not
only the school system but also along
lines which are distinct from the man
agement of the schools, instead of de
voting itself to social functions at
stated periods.
The organization OF an employment
bureau for the purpose of aiding the
high school graduates in getting en-
ployment somewhat in keeping with
the education thoy have received seems
destined to meet with success.

youngster just out Of school Jumps at

on the part of the newly organized
employment bureau 90 place the school
graduates in positions for which they
are best fitted the young people them
selves will be benefited on the one
hand and the business community will
be benefited on the other.
IT. wouId seem especially desirable
that the several other graduate or

regulate or modify the game as IL is
now played by the school teams. There
would be no difficulty in asccrtaining
the public sentiment on all questions
affecting school life and conditions if
the graduate organizations work along
the lines mapped out by the Eastern
High School Association.

OF THE HOUSE OF
GOVERNORS.

The governors Of the States are to
meet in Washington in January, with
the purpose, primarily, of promoting
the movement for uniformity OF State
laws. It is a good and laudable enter
prise. and there VIII be no dissent
about the desirability of its success.
But will it succeed
The governors don't make the laws
of the States. Their Legislatures do
Those officials of the American Bar
Association who many years ago I'M
dertook to induce the States TO adopt
model and uniform code relating to
negotiable instruments, viii be the
least confident of the success of this
new movement through the House Of
Governors.
It is well enough to make an honest
effort to secure solution Of the prob
lens of our dual sovereignty, through
cooperation of the States. Probably
it will never be possible to secure
for the Federal Government the neces-
sary power TO accomplish these things,
until the effort of cooperation shall
have been made. The State rights doc
trine Is still strong enough with men
who honestly believe in it, and popu-
lar enough with men who find in it a
convenient buffer against efforts for
strong legislation. to stand in the way
of accomplishment until 1t shall have
been shown to be mere hindrance
to progress.
The time viii come, however. when
IL will be recognized that the Central
Government Is the one instrlmentality
through which these problems may be
met. State lines for two generations
have been almost imaginary lines.
Great as it has grown. the nation
comes nearer TO being a neighborhood
than a good sized county in western
New York was IN the time when our
Constitution was adopted. The Cen
trail Government must be given the

quarantine, and foreign relations such
as in recent years. IN California and
Louisiana, have mcnaced the country
with war. The House of Governors
could do no more patriotic service than
frankly TO tell the country this. IF it
doesn't do so now, II will at some
future session. If the governors would

have great weight with the country

posed 20 let him shift for himself both
as TO denomination and reelection.
Good reason exists to believe that in
some cases the hostility extends to a
point much beyond that Of merely al
lowing the insmgput to hoe his own
row and to an active effort TO elimi-
nate some of the insUrgcnt strength
from the lower branch Of Congress.
It is a strange spectacle which is
thus presented of a committee which
is supposed to represent the whole
Republican party in an impartial way.
turning against some of the represcn-
tatives of that party.
The crime Of the insurgents in the
eyes of the men who control the Con
gressional committee IS that they have
ventured TO take the position that
Speaker Cannon ought to he elimi-
mated, that they have insisted on
changes in the existing House rules
so as to curb the inordinate power of
the Speaker, and that they voted
against the tariff bill, holding that it
was not in accordance with the
promises of the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago.
That any member of the House
should find himself treated as outside
of the pale of the Republican party
for taking the stand the insurgents
have Is a truly remarkable situation
It Is one that does not bode we'll for
the future strength Of the Republican
party. Unless broader counseIs prevail
than those which animate the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, it is
not difficult TO see that the party has
a hard road ahead of IT,
The trouble appears to he that the
particular set of men in control of the
Republican Congressional Committee
confuse themselves and the things they
stand for in the House with the Re-
publican party.

AS TO THE POSTOFFICE DE-
FICIT.

There is Just the possibility that
due consideration of all the interests
involved would damPeu the en-
thusiasm of gentlemen who are IN
sistent that the Postoffce Department
shall be made to pay its way. Why IS
IL more important that The postoftice
pay its own way than that the In
terror Department do so? One has
control of a great public facility; the
other OF vast resources, which arc
largely for sale. Yet it would take
2 corps Of accountants an indefinite
time to find out whether the Interior
Department has ever paid its way.
Nobody ever thought about the de
STABILITY of making 1t do SO.
In large sense it is a mere matter
of national bookkeeping, whether the
postoffice shall pay its way or not.
There is now deficit of about ST.
100000 a year, in business of twelve
times that amount. The department
would be immensely profitable Il rural
free delivery were stopped and the
rate on letters raised to 3 cents. Like
wise it would be highly profitable if
the second class mail matter were
forced to pay all the traffic would
bear; OF if a parcels post system were
inaugursted.
Nobody Is proposing TO make the
department profitable by making it a
better facility The plan is 10 make it
a poorer one; TO deny its benefits TO
the people Who would have the
courage to propose raising the letter
rate to cents. asst was not so many
wears ago? True. that would far more
than end the deficit. But it isn't the
deficit that people care about. They
want the postoffice 10 give them the
hest possible service for the least pos
sible money. The money that is lost
in the operation comes out of the
peoples pockets, via the Treasury. If
the rates be raised, it will come out
of their pockets via the increased cost
of service.
II is very proper ambition of the
postal authorities TO want TO make
their service sustaining If possible. But
in doing so they ought not TO take
chances Of curtsiling the efficiency,
popularity. and usefulness Of the ser
vice Rural free delivery doesn't pay;
hut nobody proposes to stop it. The
second class mail privilege Is Of vast
benefit to the mass of people. They
get its benefits more cheaply now
than they would if the second class
rates were raised.
The public interest should decide
such meters. IF the people want let
tiers hauled free. and are willing to
make up the deficit IL would involve
they are entitled to IT, There Is no
good reason why a rule Of paying its
way should be applied TO the postofiico
more than to any other department Of
tho Government. To increase postal
rates would be a step backward i'm the
administration Of the department.
