THE MERCHANT KNEW HOW

An exchange hits off the truth when it says that the man who de- cries the value of advertising IS gen. erally the first to appear at the newspaper office if he is caught kissing his neighbours wife. and beg to have nothing said in the paper "where everybody will see it."
 It might also be added that the man,who is most often mentioned favorably in newspaper comes to believe that he ia entitled to it all as his right; but let the paper, in- advertently or intentionally, pub fish an item that hurts his pride, and he is the first to swear ven- geance; to declare that the paper never amounted to anything Che now alludes to it as a "sheet") and that the editor is a brainless fool and blackmailer.
 The newspaper is sought after always when there is something to print that will particularly benefit somebody, and apt to be forgotten when there is money to be spent for advertising, says the Ell Paso Her aid. It is always "for the public good" when you have something you wish printed about the other fellow, and an outrage if anything gets into the paper that you do not approve. Every man knows better than the editor, as the old saying goes, how to run a paper, but if every man were denounced that every person in the city wanted de- nouneed, there would be more trouble in a day than there ever was before.
 It is a newspapers business to print the news as it is. A news paper does not make the news; it merely records it. When you do anything notab ble. good or bad, it is news, and the papers, serving the people with news. have to print it If you do not wish to see it in print then do not make the news. Scores of men put up the old story to the editor that II want this left out for the sake of my mother" or "my wife," or "my children" expecting the editor to consider those whom the applicant failed to consider. He ought to have remembered them when he was doing mischief.
 Many people observe the same attitude towards newspaper as a merchant, whom somebody had been bothering about how to run his store until he had grown tired and he called in the editor for sympathy.
 There is a crank-he is one of the city's respected citizens, but he is a crank. neyertheless-who con- tinues to give me advice on how to run this store. Now, what am I in the business for if I do not know how to run a store? Such men as this ought to be stopped. Can't you help me out2 Why, if were run ming a newspaper Pa" and then he stopped, turned red, and changed the subject.

WISE AND OTHERWISE

The Arizona legislature can keep busier to accomplish less than any other body of that sort, unless it be the Texas legislature.-El Paso Herald.
 The owner of candy store in Tacoma, Wash. tied a watch dog to his safe one night this week. Burglars entered the store, blew open the safe, took about $500 and stole the dog.
 If the inducements can be made sufficiently large MT. Jeffries prob ably will assume the white mans burden to the extent of undertak- ing to whale the everlasting tar out of Champion Johnson.
 A little girl was asked to write g sentence containing the words "bit- ter end," and after some effort pro- duced the following: "Our neigh bor's dog chased my kitty. and as she ran under the porch he bit her ."-Ex.
 Some peoples friendship lasts just as long as there is anything in 1t. A kind act does not always make friends, for there are too many people ready to class you as a sucker or an easy mark when you willingly lend helping hand. Statehood will undoubtedly aid in developing Arizona, but the real work must be done by the people. An act of congress may make the path easier, but the actual develop ment of the new state will be up to the brawn, muscle and brains of the people themselves. That is the one issue they cannot get away from.
 The next census, if the senate passes the census bill as amended by the house of representatives, will show the number of survivors of the Union and Confederate armies and navies. There will be several hundred thousand of them, a num- Der that would have been much smaller had not the war been fought bp the youths of the nation. A Randolph county, Mo-, bache- Tor writes: "I am a bachelor. I believe it would be better to in- troduce bill requiring the state to teach girls to keep house and cook and learn to save. The girls are to blame. A woman today thinks that if she marries all she has to do is to sit in the parlor or go to a card party. This is the reason a bache- Tor is afraid to marry. I hope you don't blame bachelor for being 8 bachelor"
 Mex Mexico has been and still is notoriously backward in her schools. Up to within a few years education in the territory was dominated largely by the clergy. The public school system was not allowed much growing room, and the strug- gle to esta blish it as in other states, led to murder and blood shed. But in the end the public schools won out, as they were sure to do, and now it is proposed to issue territorial bonds to the amount of half million dollars to be applied to the improvement and betterment of the territorial school system. Undoubtedly this money is needed and could not be more appropriately used.-Tucson Post. 1 You Can't Tell

the fact that the secretary Of the
interior had found it impossible to
remain and answer the questions
that might be asked him concern

compressed his argument to the
concrete fact that Garfield had
withdrawn from entry certain lands
including valuable power sites, and
that Ballinger had restored them,
the restoration beginning the first
day Ballinger took office.
Exact descriptions of the lands
restored and alleged to have been

to an objection Mr.. Pardee read an
official letter showing that the
usual time for entry preliminaries
had been waived with the restora-
ton order. In quoting from the
bureaus under which action COM
planned of has been taken Pardee
was requested by Smith to state
what officer was involved. Smith
was afraid the convention might
think he was the man meant. Par
dee accepted Smiths protest that 1t
was somebody else.
The debate simmered down to the
question that 1853 acres of reserved
power site land along, the Missouri
had been restored by Ballinger and
entered upon by an agent of the
power monopoly through a repre-
sentative, and this was not dis
proven. Various delegates partici-
pated in the discussion, most of
them anxious to see the actual evil
dence. Pardee repeatedly stated
that the man who had secured it
was in the hall, ready to respond,
but he was not called upon by any
one.

4 KNOCKOUT BLOW
TO MAL0NEY'S PLAN
Council Passes Ordinance for Rigid Enforcement Of City
Wage Scale.

A knockout blow was delivered to
Thomas Maloney's cooperative con-
tracing plan in an ordinance de-
signed for a rigid enforcement OF
the city wage scale for day labor,
passed by the city council last
night.
Under this ordinance Maloney
can continue in business provided
he pays the scale of $2.75 per day
OF eight hours. The ordinance is
not designed for Maloney any mor-
than for any other contractor, but
its provisions are SO broad as to
take in Maloney's plan, whereas he
has been able successfully to carry
1t on under the old wage scale or
dinance.
