A Remunerative Industry.

The business of acting as informer
in the case of violations of the Gus
tom laws is an attractive one, from
the financial side. Richard Parr. who
brought the Sugar Trust to time, was
paid 100000 by the government If
it can be proven that Duveen Broth
ers have undervalued art imports ia
the extent of 100000, the man who
gave the authorities the tip" will
also have done a profitable days
work The raid on their store was
inspired by an anonymous letter re-
ceived by Collector Loeb. The name
of the writer was secured by govern
ment agents. but it has not been made
public yet, and possibly will not be
until the trial The collector states
that the firm had been under sus-
picion for a long time. 1t was not
until information was supplied by the
writer of the anonymous letter, how
ever, that definite information was
secured on which to base a case. Lo-
eating a rich gold mine is not the
only sudden road to wealth.

PHOENIX, ARIz., OCTOBER %. 1910.
The Reckless Automobile.

The warning of Mayor Christy to
automobile drivers, if not promptly
needed, should be followed by imme-
date and drastic action. Many of
the drivers of Phoenix have warped
notions, not only about the rate of
speed, but also about the right OF
way. They appear to regard it as
the duty of citizens on foot to keep
out of the way. a view of the case not
entertained by drivers in all well reg
ulated cities.
There drivers Of automobiles, as
well as drivers of horses. recognize
it TO be a part of their business not
to intrude upon the rights of pedes-
trians who have the right of way at
street crossings.
Have you ever observed the city
bred man in crossing the streets? He
observes a reasonable precaution, but
he proceeds with no more hesitation
than if he were on the sidewalk. He
has the guaranty of a well regulated
government that no horse or automo-
bile will run him down. He has a
similar guaranty that nobody is going
to assault him or murder him. OF
course, he may be assaulted or he
may be run down. If so, the law has
been violated and the violator is pun
ished.
When an automobile Injuries a citi-
zen, the driver is arrested and pun
ished. The theory OF an accident is
not considered. 1t is the business of
the driver to see that such accidents
do not occur.

A CONSERVATION SUGGESTION
WORTH NEEDING.

Alfred G. Brooks, the geologist in
charge of the Alaskan work of the
United States Geological Survey, has
summarized the coal situation in Alas
ka in the Survey Bulletin 442, pointing
out the Importance of making these
high grade fuels available for the use
of both Alaska and the Pacific coast
states. While the coal is of first i'm
portance to AlaslSans who are at
tempting to develop the various great
resources of the territory, it is also
of scarcely less national Importance.
inasmuch as these fields furnish fuel
to the industries of the Pacific Coast
states and to the Pacific fleet The
development of these fields will con-
serve the Goals of the eastern part
of the United States, which are of
most value to the nation because
they are nearest the center of pop
ulation.
The manufacture of iron on the
west coast, for which there is album
dant raw material, utilizing Alaskan
coal, will not only cheaper the pro-
duct by overcoming the long railroad
haul or the trip around the Horn,
but it will diminish the drain on the
eastern iron and coal fields. Every
shipload of coal carried around the
Horn consumes about one-fifth of
its own cargo. while the hauling of
iron and coal over the Rocky noun
tains results in a stiIl greater fuel
waste.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1910-10-22

Mr.. Brooks found that in the re-
gions visited the greatest need was
for cheap. fuel, all industries being
directly or indirectly dependent upon
it. This, it may be added, applies
to much of the territory. At pres
ent practically all the coal used in
Alaska. and which is not of particu-
larly high grade, is imported from
British Columbia-a little comes in
from Japan-costing the consumer in
the Prince William sound region from
s11 to $17 a ton. With these figures
in mind, it can readily be seen that
our present magnificent industrial
advancement in the eastern states
could not exist if manufacturers,
mines and railways had to meet such
fuel bills, instead of paying $125 or
81 a ton for coal, as is actually the
case. If, then, the Alaskan industries
are not making a progress cOmmen-
surate with the resources of the ter
ritory, there is sufficient reason for
ii in this lack of cheap fuel. And
with good coal under their feet what
wonder that the men who are at
tempting to develop this northern
territory should feel discouraged?

The STARING Billboard,

The crusade against the billboards
is gathering strength and it is to be
hoped that before long their I'M
sightliness will be removed. The
anti billboard campaign is an Incl
dent in the struggle of every city
The worst thing about the Phoenix
billboards is their location in the very
heart of town, or so near it, and their
prevalence in the inner residence dis
tricts
The billboard has seldom been en-
tirely abolished, but when a stubborn
campaign has been made against it, il
has been restricted, showed into the
background where it belongs. There
is a place for it in the outskirts and
along the country roads leading to
town, but even those localities would
look better without it, and the COM
munity would not suffer from its
elimination.
But the billboard staring at passers-
by along the principal streets, where
there is a blank wall or a vacant
space, is unspeakable 1t conveys to
the stranger a bad impression of the
town.

PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO RACE.

FhOGh6SS Or TIE NCShO hNSG
The endowment of the newly eman-
cipated slaves with the rights Of stuff
rage by the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution was
perhaps the most dangerous politica
experiment ever tried by a civilized
nation. That it did not make of tine
southern states what Hayti now is was
due to the inherent virility of the peO-
pie whom emotionalism and the pas
sion engendered by civil war sought
to put under the heel of ignorance and
brutality.
The real uplifting of the emancipated
negroes began with the work at Hamp-
ton and Tuskegee.
And especially Tuskegee. No race
can rise in the scale of humanity save
| by its own effort and under its own
direction.
The first essentials of human pro-
gress are self confidence and self-as-
sertion under the leadership of COM
mon sense.
The labor of the negro is as import
ant to the southern white man as il
is to the negro himself. and with the
development of habits of industry and
self-reliance, and the personal char
acter which results, the negro need
have no concern as to his social and
political future.
1t is personal character rather than
education upon which the future of
the negro race viii depend.
Prima facie, therefore, the announce
ment that whereas at emancipation
l oil. -
while now not more than 43 per cent
are illiterate, has not the Importance
that educational enthusiasts would
give it.
The decrease of illiteracy is mainly
important in so far as it represents in
creasing solidity of character seeking
for knowledge for the sake of its eco
nOmic and industrial value to those
who have it.
Decrease of illiteracy resulting from
the altruistic effort of the white race
has no very high value. In The unde-
veloped races too much 'petting" from
the races more. advanced may do more
harm by fostering the feeling of de-
tendency than good by the smattering
of information which is impaired
Thanks to the leadership of Hamp-
ton and Tuskegee. there is now in pro-
gress real character building move
ment among the negroes of the south,
based on negro effort and under negro
leadership, which is Transforming the
character of the rural negroes
What it can do for those of that
race who congregate in cities remains
TO be seen. But at any rate the negro
children of tn cities will learn to read.
And with the increasing upliet among
the rural negroes of the south it is
probable that in the next generation
illiteracy will be no more common
among the southern negroes than
among those of other races-and it

MILWAUKEE MAYOR PAYS
NICKEL TO GET $4,000
EnforCes an Old Ordinance That
CompeIS Railway Company
to License Conductors

MILWAUKEE,, June 23-Socialist
Mayor Emil Seidel says the Milwaukee
Electric Railway & Light company
owes the city $4,000 in back licenses
for the cars it operates, and he intends
to collect the money.
To start the ball rolling properly, the
mayor has sworn out a warrant for
John T. Beggs, president of the street
car company, on the charge that he is
evading payment of the license. Mr..
Beggs ridicules the action of the mayor,
and a legal battle is in prospect.
Yesterday Mayor Seidel and City AT
torney Hoan boarded a street car at
the city hall and paid their fares. Then
the mayor asked the conductor to eX-
hibit the license permitting the car to
be operated in Milwaukee.
License! What do you mean?" que
ried the conductor.
II refer to the license allowing you
to operate this car in the city of Mil
waukee," said the mayor.
"I haven't any license, and never
heard of one" replied the conductor,
and he left the mayor abruptly and
went to collecting other fares
The mayor and city attorney returned
to the city hall, and short time later
the warrant for Beggs' arrest was is
sued.
A city ordinance provides the COM
pany shall pay into the city treasury
SIS annually for each car it operates.
Mr.. Beggs says the ordinance was re-
pealed years ago, but Mayor Seidel
claims it is still in force and asserts
he will collect the $4,000 the company
should have paid in past years.

PHOENIX. June GA special from
Globe announces the resignation of
HovaI A. Smith, chairman of the Re-
publican territorial central committee,
with a view of becoming candidate
for senator Friends here accept the
announcement of the resignation as
correct, but deny the senatorial aspira-
tions.
Also it was learned on the best au-
thority that George w. Young, ter
ritorial secretary and acting governor,
will shortly tender his resignation, to
be in line for other ambitions not in
dicated.
Under the statehood bill the appor-
tionment yof county delegates to the
constitutional convention will be made
by the chief justice, governor and Sec
retary. Chief Justice Kent, prepara-
tory to leaving for the east tomorrow,
announced that the apportionment is
a mere matter of mathematical cal
culation which has been prepared by
Young and himself and only awaits
the return and approval of the COVER
nor. The apportionment will not be
made public until then.
Governor Sloan is expected home
Saturday morning, and it is probable
that a proclamation calling the con-
stitutional convention election will be
issued at once. The city council of
Phoenix held special session late this
afternoon and arranged for nom
partisan public reception to Governor
Sloan Monday night, in recognition Of
his work for statehood. Speakers will
represent both parties.

Declares He Has Won All That Is

CINCINNATI, June 23.-In a signed
statement in the Times-Star President
Taft is quoted today as follows:
Washington D. c., June 23.-I am
elated at the legislation which has
been enacted by this congress. 1t has
fulfilled the pledges of the party. 1t
is great satisfaction to me that we
have accomplished so much. 1t has
been the custom in the past to try to
fulfill party pledges during the term
of the president elected; we have Sc
cured what we set out to get during
the first regular session of congress.
I'VE now have the best railroad
regulation law we ever had. The pro-
visions for the supervision of capital
ization were omitted, but this does not
mean they have been abandoned. Re-
newed efforts to enact them will be
made at the next session.
II think the party in power has
enacted Legislation which will inure
greatly to it's benefit. 1t has kept it's
contract. The congress which is now
closing it's first regular session has
done what it promised the people to
do. and the Republican party has a
good record to take to the people in
the coming elections"
