Bisbee daily review., 1910-10-28

The practice of the mother of the family taking . vacation of her vexy own is growing, and 1t is . practice to be commented. The time was when it would have been looked upon as a most unheard-of proceed- ing for the mother of a family to pack her trunk and go off by herself for a good time. Neighbors' tongues would have wagged mercilessly. Heads would have been shaken omt- nously, and all sorts of dire happen ings predicted for the husband and children left behind They would have been pitied on all sides. Indeed. suspicious would have been afioat that there had been a serious family quarrel.
 But nothing of that sort occurs nowadays, though here and there will be found some to maintain that mother should not leave her family. But because a woman is a mother IS no reason why she should not pay some commonsense regard to health, or have some pleasure. And when a woman has cooked, and washed dishes, and sewed. day in and out for a year. for a family of five or six. she certainly needs complete change of some kind. If 1t is possible for her husband to go with her, she will enjoy her little outing all the more. But she certainly should get away for a week at least. where there will be no household cares, and no chil- dren to make constant demands upoc her time. temper and strength.
 One mother of seven, who does all her own housework and sewing, goes regularly every year for week to a seaside resort She goes to com fortable, though not expensive, hotel and luxuriates in being waited on, in eating meals she has not had to give a thought to. in watching and entering into the gay life about her, % different from her own, the othe- fiiSy-one weeks of the year. Her husSand considers 1t time and money well spent, and cheerf,illy gives up one wee, of his vacation to an over sight of he home while she is away. The mach eery of that home runs more smoothly because of the moth

OUR VANISHING
DESERT.

A carter Of a century ago any
 mention of the Great American des- ert called up visions of a region limitless extent, sun-baked, parched
 and desoiate. A country associated always with tales of suffering and death, of unfriendly savages, and deadly reptiles. for years it was passed over by congress as worth less. The marvellous transformation which has been wrought in two dec ades in this land of silence and sun shine furnishes one of the most in teresting and inspiring pages in the annals of our republics development. The great American desert is van ishing from the map. Its boundaries have shrunken and it no longer presents a formidable barrier to the growth and progress of the far West. Twelve million acres of this rainless country have been subdued by means of agriculture and irrigation and are producing bountiful and as

It has been proposed in the Con stitutionai convention to keep a weekly expense account and if it is found that there are more em
 ployes than necessary to dispense with them. Of course eight or ten compentent clerks and stenographers could do all the work required by the convention without putting in any overtime. It is to be hoped that the convention will consider the mat ter of economy before it creates an army of useless territorial officials.

 That all reads to us like very sound doctrine, and certain it is that no American politician ever he'd his forces in hand or yielded them to better advantages than did Sen stor Platt.

He admits that during the greater spart of fifty-three years spent in the political arena he was the target for many arrows: that his words and deeds were ofter either ignorantiy or maliciously mis- understood or misconstrued; at times his life was threatened, but says he "rejoiced in the personal and po'it- iCaI confidence of Presidents Abra- ham Lincoln, Ulysses s. Grant. Chester A Arthur. William McKin- ley and Theodore Roosevelt" and adds: "I have been most happy in the company of such staiwarts as

JUDGE BAKER MAKES POINT OF INTEREST.

From the magazine, Equity" pub Iished in Philadelphia, and devoted 10 modern ,aw-making and govern. ment. we find the following from the pen of Judge Baker of Phoenix. Judge Bakers estimate of progress i've government is singularly appro- priate and to the point, anl the faith he expresses in the ultimate outcome of the Constitutional con vention is pleasing to note A short. simpie. plain and progressive" consti- tuition is al. Arizona ever asked, and is all it wants now:
 Editor Equity-The constitution
 convention of Arizona will con. yene in Phoenix, Ariz., on October le. 12 o'clock noon 1910 and what follows will be of interest to the country at large
 The new state will have the chance to blaze new path. The constitution of the United States was originally a very brief document. and it's application to the growing needs of the country has only been secured by the process of construc- ton placed upon it by the United States supreme court The newer state constitution, more and more bent on government by as we'll as for the people, have tried to cover every contingency, and as result some of them are of extreme length, notably that Of Oklahoma. In some of them there seems to have been an effort to write in everything that everybody thought of In my opin' ion, the initiative and referendur, remove the needs for a long consti- tuition. By reserving to themselves the power to initiate laws and amend ments to the constitution, the people will keep themselves in control of their government at all times. If courts hold that the constitution does not mean what the framers in tended that it should mean, the peo- ple can alter it at once. It will not he necessary to depend upon con struction," and long constitution will be obviated.
 Tn addition to this, Arizona will have for guidance the experience oi forty-six other states, and there IS no reason why we should not have at once the shortest, as well as the best constitution of all the states in the union.
 That the initiative and referendum and recall will be written into the constitution is a foregone conclusion Forty-one delegates tdemocrats) ou of fifty-two constituting the conven tion, are pledged to these principles and the people elected them upoI these pledges by overwhelming ma jorities.
 The country may therefore lool to Arizona for short, simple, plain and progressive constitution-on that will meet the wishes of ou people. and as I believe, will pas muster, as it ought to do. at Wash ington.
 Very respectfully,
 "A. c. BAKER,
 Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 27, 1910"

It is noted that the Constitutional convention in New Mexico is making much better progress with the work in hand than is the. case in Arizona. The work of making the constitution is being rushed in New Mexico with the purpose of having the document approved in Washington before the 4th of March. If all the fool things which have been proposed in Phoe- nix are written into the constitution it will be a waste of time to submit the document to the president and congress

they had accomplished. Mr.. Thomp-

endorsement of the King County

are worth millions of dollars to King
county. He spoke of the difficulties
the great cities overcome to get water
ways, and the easy manner In when
Seattle and King county will get
better harbors at third OF the ex-
