sentative government almost
but not quite-prevails in the
national House Of Representa-
tives.
Although still Objectionable as
passsd by the House, the railroad
regulation bill was discussed,
amended and improved. And IL
was oil done in the open.
The entire membership Of the
House, for q change, was per-
mitted to vote on the question OF
rejecting undesirable sections.
Improvement by the bill was also
allowed.
Had the Cannon machine been
working smoothly, a few men
would have done the legislating
Instead of the entire membership
of the House.
i Under tn Q regular Cannon
system Of gang rule, the railroad
| bill would have been reported
from committee under q rule pro-
lhibiting the membership of the
House from voting for or against
amendment. Bad features of the
bill could not have been eliminate
ed.
The entire measure, jokers and
all, would have been forced down
the throat Of the House just az
dictated by the railroad COM
panies, and just as submitted by
! "Uncle Joe's'' Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.
This nonimittee is packed WITH
men who have been aided in CONF
! ing to congress by the railroads.
The improvement of the rail-
. lroad bill in the House through a
coalition OF the Democrats and
; Progressives is q cause for re-
; joicing. But 1t does not mean
that the people have really wrest-

The Tarantula Harmless

A naturalist attached to one of
the scientific bureaus of the govern
ment at Washington, who has given
considerable study of the venomous
creatures to be found in our South
west, puts in good word for the
tarantula, usually qualified as ter
rible."
The tarantula, it seems, is not
really aggressive with respect to
man; nor even intrusive, it is con-
tended, despite the testimony of old
miners and prospectors who shake
them out of their boots or blankets
in the morning and always the
size of a saucer" The tarantula
avoids the hot sunshine, remaining
well in it's burrow until about sun
down, when it goes forth to lie in
waiting for it's food, just below the
opening of the burrow. 1t takes up
this position whether it desires food
or merely wishes to get a breath of
fresh air. 1t does not go far in
quest of food, but will remain for
hours at a time quietly awaiting the
coming of it's prey. Should . grass
hopper, a beetle, a caterpiller, or
any other creature of a like size
come within view, the tarantula
will rush out and seize it, but, it is
said it will rarely go farther than a
few inches from the opening. There
is one insect, however, which the
tarantula gives wide berth, name
ly, its dreaded enemy, the wasp.
1t is said that one fair-sized insect a
week is sufficient to appease the
tarantula's hunger, a circumstance
due no doubt, to it's inactive life;
and, it is added, it can survive sew
eral months without any food at all,
even when most active, provided
only it has water. -.
In autumn the tarantula closes
the entrance to its residence with a
crudely spun web. 1t passes the
winter in a semi-lethargic state, TAX
ing no food. In the spring it digs
its way out.-Ex.

Advertising

One of the greatest business de-
velopments of modern times, both
in importance and in intelligence, is
American advertising. We say
American, because the psychology
and knowledge of the public which
are required in this country today
are unknown to advertisers, or ad-
vertising agents on the other side.
From the point of view of efficiency,
of originality, it is an absolutely
new business, having little in COM
mon with the old accidental methods.
The head of the advertising depart
ment of large publication today
ought to be, in intellectual equip
ment, in profoundness of study, in
executive power, in freshness of
ideas, fully the equal of the pub
Usher, the editor and the circula-
ton manager. Things are now
done on a scale so large that it is
impossible for any one man proper
ly to manage more than one of
these big departments. The sue
cessful head of such a business is
he who can select men for these
positions so able that they can work
with independent initiative, al,
though of course if any business is
greatly to succeed there must be
one man, of broad mind, executive
talent, and consistent attention,
through whom all these elements
are co-ordinated. 1t is only within
a few years that in publications the
advertising manager has taken his
place on an even intellectual plane
with the editor or the general man.
ager, and a similar position has
been won for the same kind of
work in advertising agencies and in
the advertising departments of
great industries. The advertising
expert now does work almost as
creative as that of the empire
builder" of half a century ago.

JOHNSON GRASS
Government Method of Exter-
mination

The following method of exter-
minating johnson grass has the in
dorsement of the government and
may be interesting to readers of
The GUARDIAN who have this grass
on their ranches:
The most practical method of
overcoming johnson grass is to
turn the land into pasture or mead
ow and keep the grass cut very
close tG the ground, either with a
moving machine or by pasturing
with animals.
WN;Ssere this cannot be done, as
is the case along the roadside, in
the field or in the orchard and vine
yard, then keeping the grass shaved
close to the ground with sharp
hoe is the most effective method of
overcoming it. Where the patch is
a large one a hoe attachment may
be made for the cultivator and the
grass destroyed with this. If the
vegetation above the ground is kept
clipped for a few months the roots
will die. The health of the roots
depend largely upon the plant above
the ground, and if the development
of this is prevented the roots will
decay and die. 1t may take several
clippings to destroy the plant, but
if the farmer perseveres, the plant
will be destroyed

Ell PASO FAIR

The catalogue of the Ell Paso Fair
and Exposition filled with informa-

be held at Ell Paso, October 29th to
November 9Th, has been issued from
the Office of Secretary Frank Rich
at Ell Paso. This catalogue gives
the premiums to be offered in the
various departments which make
up the Second Annual Fair and Ex-
position.
The special features are also listed
in this artistically bound booklet
which is now being mailed to all
parts of the southwest. A request
for this catalogue will also bring a
collection of souvenir views of the
Fair and of Ell Paso and post cards
to send to the folks back home.

THEN AND NOW

During the late campaign for
delegates to the constitutional con-
vention, the Arizona Bulletin, here
tofore a strong democratic paper,
practically opposed, editorially and
otherwise, the democratic ticket in
Graham county.
It's editor claimed the right to be
independent in politics and in doing
so favored the republican ticket to
such an extent that he helped to
defeat the democratic ticket in
Solomonville and San Jose, two
strong democratic precincts, result
ing in a record vote for the repub-
lican ticket, and making the county
seat of the strongest democratic
county in the Territory republi-
can precinct.
After election, and when the peo-
pie of Graham county and the Ter
ritory Of Arizona declared by a
great majority in favor of the
democratic candidates and the prin-
ciples of the democratic party, we
find the Arizona Bulletin exulting
in the great victory of the demo-
cratic party.
The Arizona Bulletin did all it
could to make the republican ticket
successful in Solomonville and San
Jose. and having succeeded in max
ing the county seat a republican
precinct, it should continue as the
organ of the republican party.

MONUMENT TO JUAREZ
Unveiled in the City of Mexico
September 18th

In the presence of large crowd
President Diaz, on Saturday, Sep
tember 18th, officiated at the un-
yelling and dedication of a great
marble monument erected to the
memory of Benito Juarez, the man
who captured state and church in
Mexico when he occupied the office
of chief executive of the nation.
The monument stands in the Ala
media, fronting Juarez avenue, and
is one of the most imposing and
costly in the capital.
Another feature of the Mexican
celebration was the delivery of the
keys of Mexico City to the govern
ment by the French special ambas-
sador.
The keys are of silver and were
handed to President Diaz in the ma
tional palace. They were carried
to France when the French soldiers
returned to their country after the
French occupation ended.
Graham guardian., 1910-09-23

voters propose to elect p Office only
men who cam be trusted to repre-
sent real republican sentiment and
stand for the peoples interest rath-
er than private interest. Every re-
publican official, executive or legis-
lative, will be measured by his fealty
to republican platform declarations.
The Chicago platform is a test of
republican faith. The official who
departs from it is not republican
even though elected by republican
voters.
Arizona can well afford to rest its
fight for admission squarely upon
the republican national platform
and send hiking from the Territory
any officious intermeddler who
comes threatening that she will not
be admitted into statehood unless
she writes constitution that must
be Immediately amended to make it
serviceable.
If Arizona wants the initiative,
referendum and recall iii her con-
stitution, let her write it in. If any
group in officedom undertakes to
deny her admission to statehood on
that account there is a mighty host
of real republicans throughout the
land that will make Arizona's fight
theirs. Los Angeles Express Ire

The GUARDIAN advocating the Sc

GUARDIAN might state that the Sc
lection of a president for the con-
stitutional convention is a territorial
matter, and one that will be decided
by the democrats who are in the ma
jority and who will organize the
convention.
So far THE GUARDIAN has not

ham or Gila counties for president
