CALIFORNIA OIL FOR ARIZONA MINES.
trust cases

Says the Denver Mining Record.
 Arizona interests have been great Iy concerned of late in a proposal coming from Los Angeles to provide a pipe line into that territory for the transportation of Southern Cali fornia oil The idea is to send the petroleum into the mining regions for use as fuel At first the report had the looks of a newspaper sensation, but the suggestion is being more thoughtfully considered. and the ven ture may yet be heard from. ATizona's position as 9 metal mining territory is hampered in scIne measure by the cost of fuel for power purposes, in asmuch as the territory has none but insignificant coal fields and it is not located close to any large supplies that are convenient At any rate. the costs are high. and oil has been brought in at many points because of it's relative cheapness. The substi- tuition of California petroleum ol a large scale for the uses of the mines Is a plausible consideration.
 Tn connection with the same sub iect. Arizona is not overburdened with water power opportunities In fact, it is a dry region. and in many places it is difficult to secure water Tor milling purposes. This. of course. suggests that the most likely competi-
 or for the oil of California considered IS source of power, would be cleo tricity, which can be transported for long distances, and that there are places where water power is now go

Owen Mister. the man who wrote .The Pilgrim on the Gila," the best story ever printed or an Arizona incl | dent. Is visiting in Tucson. While the story did great injustice to many of the characters used in the robbery of Major Wham. a United States pay master. in the spring of 1889. the ar tiele. first published in Harper's Weekly, was thoroughly, enjoyed by all Arizonians who read it. The story was based on one of the boldest rob berries ever perpetrated in the west
 from Fort Grant to Fort Thomas, car
 rying a chest of gold to pay the sol diers then stationed at Forts Thomas and San Carlos. band of supposed festive cowboys secreted themselves on the side of a deep canyon, rolling a large rock into the road below
 them. Major Wham and his clerk stopped when the rock was reached and called for the escort of a dozen
 colored soldiers, who were In a wagon behind to come and remove the ob- struction from the road, which was
 supposed to have been loosened on the hillside. When the soldiers gath
 cred around the rock the robbers opened fire and escort and paymaster
 made hasty flight down the canyon
 until an outlet put a hill and several hills between them and the ambu- ! lance. The robbers secured the money | chest containing over s2s,0OO and made their escape. Arrests were af- | terwards made and a trial lasted for
 many weeks at Tucson. resulting
 finally in an acquittal of the defend
 ants. So far as known Mister has
 not been in Arizona since he gathered
 the data for the story Had he
 come back soon after the publication
 of the Pilgrim on the Gila" he would i not have received a very warm recep ton from the characters used in the
 story. Hon. Mark Smith, who with Hon. Ben Goodrich successfully de
 tended the men tried for the robbers was characterized as Luke Jenks.'
 and was made to play a part assrepre
 hensible as the accused robbers.

CON SIDER THE
 CENSUS TAKER.

The census taker will be around be- fore long and it win be up to every body to give him a patient hearing. He will have a good many questions to ask. but all of them are pertinent to his business and for the good of the nation. They should be answered with accuracy and courtesy to the best of the victims ability.
 The Census Bureau complies a great variety of statistics. The census is an indication of the country's progress along various lines. Ii Is not mere enumeration of inhabitants, though that IS the first essential of the Census Bureaus work. The cen sus taker is looking for facts. but he is not asking for them for promiscI- ous publication. The government is not preparing a biography of all the citizens of the United States, but il wants certain data as to personal his tory as requisite to certain calcull tions it expects to make.
 There is a lot of questions to be negotiated. It is something like un dergoing a medical examination wheT you have made an application for life insurance. The census taker is nof so intimately and impudently per. sonal as the medical examiner. bu he wants to know many things of sim liar tenor. It will facilitate him il his work if the victim is 'complacen and sensibly communicative.
 Not a few people are sensitive abou their age. but they need not hesitate to tell the exact figures o Uncle sam representatives. Uncle Sam will no
 give it away" The information secured is confidential. The eensu' to be valuable should be accurate an' everyone ought to be willing to d' the right thing by the census takeT He. it should be remembered. ha troubles Of his own.

COMPLICATIONS CAUSED BY BREWERS DEATH.

Many opinions prevail as to what will be the effect of Justice Brewers death upon the decisions in the Stand ard Oil and tobacco trust cases, as| well as the corporation tax cases now pending before the United States SUI preme court It may not delay the decisions. and it may not result in either of them being made by less than an actual majority of the court
 Upon the other hand. it may result in long delay as to one or all of these cases. may result in the court asking for re-submission of one or all of the cases. and it may result in decisions which will not satisfy the country and will leave the final disposition Of the important questions involved un- settled for years to come.
 It is not to be expected that a de- cision of the court on the points raised relative to the sherman law by the Standard oil case by to 3. for instance, will be accepted as the final ruling of the court on these points. It is true the decision would be per fectly legal. But the ground will have to be litigated over again and a de
 cision obtained on which at least five justices can agree before the findings
 will be accepted as the settled law ol
 the land, which it is useless to try
 to modify by resort to the courts. 1 In a general way it is doubtles,
 true that the supreme court is made
 less conservative by the passing O
 Justice Brewer As indicated by hi
 concurring opinion in ith Norther,
 Securities case, he believed the SheT man law should be applied only to un
 reasonable restraints of trade. IF! more recent decisions indicated tha he was not in favor of the expansion
 of the powers of the central govern ment. and on interstate commeref questions that he was not kindly dis posed toward the increasing power of the interstate commerce commis | sion.
 It is a reasonable inference iron his decisions in past cases that Jus , tice Brewer. had he lived, would hay leaned to the side of the less sweeI ing interpretation of the Sherman
 law in the Standard Oil and tobacc
 trust cases.

IS THE AMERICAN
 WOMAN DEMOCRATIc7

At the Young women's Christian association yesterday Mrs. C. L. Grout spoke on the question. 'Is the Amer!- can Woman Democratic?"
 As fas as she is able to express her self. the American woman. is demo- cratic. It is sometimes said a woman is a natural born aristocrat, but that is because her tastes are refined and she likes the best of everything and everything of the best, says the Los Angeles Herald.
 Men growI more or less at present social conditions. some claiming they cannot get a square deal. that they are deprived sometimes of capital. sometimes of opportunity. sometimes Of both. But women have greater cause for complaint We are not as tonished they are showing signs of revoiting against the treatment that has been accorded them ever since Betsy Ross sewed the stars on the flag Are there any statutes of Betsy Ross anywhere? Is there one in Califor nia2
 A very foreign (say orientaD stu dent. who did not know our whimsical racial method of treating women would be almost certain to derive iron our general literature, etc. an i'm pression woman had little or nothing to do with the foundation of the re public. Although the Declaration O Independence states as a seif-eviden truth "AIl men are created equal" | does not mention women, and in ear Her American documents nothing i said about women's rights in the re

public.
 It is not astonishing the twentieth century American woman is showingI signs of rebellion. which may become a sex revolution. A man is not all lowed to work at his occupation. His WIFE suffers. The head of family is deprived of opportunity of wage earning. His WIFE and FAMILY suffer.
 Women are punished for the poverty Of their husbands. Children are kicked from pillar to post because their father is sick or out of work. We wish we could see an end of this kind of coward.ce snd we believe when women are allowed to help man. age society and social. affairs in the board sense of the terms (and not in the pink tea sense to which they are frequently restricted) the democracy of the American woman may have g chance of asserting itself and she may help restore Americanism in the dail, life of the republic.
