The Stand of a True Leader.

In his letter to Councilman Burns on the subject of the senate statehood bill, Governor Sloan has furnished to The people or Arizona an interesting illustration of the difference between sincere, capable and natural leader of public opinion and a political boss. IT the governor had followed the ways of the boss, he would have waited in the high grass until he saw that public opinion had been fully express ed and then would have fallen in line with what appeared to be the popular drift
 But Governor Sloan is not of the type Of the professional politician. He courageously does and says what he thinks is right, without waiting for signal smoke. In this instance there was some confusion in the public mind. Democratic politicians and democratic newspapers had indus triously distorted history and mis- represented the wishes and inten- tiOns of President Taft and the senate leaders. IL was represented that the senate was preparing to perpetrate great outrage upon the people of Arizona. The governor did not wait 10 see which way the cat of popular opinion would jump. He boldly told the truth concerning the iniquities of the so-called educational qualification law enacted by the democratic caucus of the late legislature The letter was Timely. Governor Kibbey's masterly veto messages. winch simply are un- answerable. were delivered to the leg islature when that body was al a white heat of partisan rancor, and the people d:d not fully appreciate the force or the arguments presented Governor Sloan's letter written when the public mind is unruffled, drives home to definite conviction the right eousness of Governor Kibbey's mes sages
 But if Governor Sloan had been a mere politician instead of the sturdy patriot and states man he is, he would have dodged the Burns letter or kept silent-for the professional politician never commits himself if he can avoid it. and never until he is sure he is safe from criticism. Professional poli- ticians. by the way, seem never to learn that statesmanship, moral cour- age and real political leadership go together A man making politics his trade may. by employment of the familiar methods of practical politics, acquire temporary prominence and power. but he never can hold his ground unless he boldly stands for principles and has the courage to express opinions. Governor Sloan has the satisfaction of knowing that the republicans of the territory have ral- lied to his support; they recognize in his superb letter the bugle call of d real leader of men.
 Incidentally, we have to guess that the Hon. Mike Burns is still won dering when the earthquake will be over.

Mir. Moore's Theories of Climate,
 Forests and Floods

From Professor Willis L. Moore Doctor Of Laws. Doctor of Science and chief of the United States weather bureau. we are in receipt of q pamphlet comprising his report to the house of representatives onS The Influence of Forests on Climate and on Floods" The pamphlet reads like a labored brief in defense of the in- terests which oppose the conservation of national resources.
 Professor Moore takes as his thesis two propositions:
 l. That forests have no effect on climate and rainfall;
 2 That the removal of forests does not increase the floods in rivers
 His first proposition is supported by reasoning which appears sound. and it seems 10 be fortified by the geo. logical history of the earth. That is to say. it was already an accepted fact that forests in various parts of the world have disappeared be- cause of the permanent failure of rain. fali-the rain failed before the for ests failed Vast areas in Asia which once were fertile ana covered by vegetation are now deserts of shifting sand. And the desert is steadily en- croaching upon the living ground. Tropical growth once covered most of Arizona This vegetation disappear ed before the age of civilized man. and hence before the period in which man began to remove the forests. The deserts of the earth have been caused by radical changes in eli mate; but changes in temperature and in rainfall were not caused by

A Calm Reminder.

Arizona has waited long and pa tiently for statehood and we can see no reason for the naughty, indignant and insulted attitude assumed by our democratic brethren of the press. While President Taft evidently be- lieves that Arizona will formulate d safe and sane constitution in spite of the vicious and partisan legislation last year. he believes that a restrain ing hand will tend to bring about a conservation. It is to be hoped that all parties will select good men rather than good partisans for the constitu- tional conV Vention.-Coconino Sun.
 Editor Breen of the Sun was one of the coolest. best balanced and most capable men in tEe upper house or the late legislature. and if his advice had been taken the session laws would have borne more evidence of regard for the public welfare and less evi- dence of machine politics

recognizes how much depends upon
the spirit back OF the words. What

power and effectiveness as a preacher,
he could appeal to their knowledge of
him. They knew that he had preach
ed with power and in the Holy Ghost
and In much assurance" and this
marks effective preach ng.
Verse 6. Born Again. Paul had
been chosen as an ideal by the Thes-
salonian Christians. 1t Is a splendid
thing fOc young people to have ac-
quaintance with men OF great mind
and heart. But what was even more
essent al, they had become followers
of the Lord; Christ had been chosen
as ideal. There had been travail of
soul In connection with their conver-
sion.
Verses Y-S. Results of Being Born
Again. We are examples of good or
evil all Of the time. But W cked men
are not chosen as examples by those
who are seeking to lead righteous
lives. 1t Is a splendid tribute to these
Thessalonian folks that they were con-

birth is as definite as physical birth.

Verse 16. Gods Thought for Us.
