THE NEEDY FAR AWAY.
With a Word About the Man Just
Around the Corner.

On a certain Sunday last fall l
attended the morning service of
village church in an eastern state.
At the close of the sermon-a help
full scrmon--the pastor reminded
his congregation Of the barrel of
clothing regularly sent at this time
to the poor Of a city some fifty
miles away.
/ was just a bit startled, because
I have been accustomed to hear city
pastors remind their congregations
of barrels to be sent to the poor of
villages. 1t had not occurred to me
that villages might be concerned
about the poor in cities. / knew, of
course, that cities whose churches
are sending barrels to villages have
their own desperately poor always
with them, and I was in position
to know that this village whose
church was preparing barrel also
had its proportion of sadly reduced
families.
The situation struck me some
how as homogeneous, illogical, out of
gear. Why should good people in
the cities distress themselves about
suffering in the villages and good
people in the villages distress them
selves about suffering in the cities
and both apparently feel little dis
tress about the suffering right at
their very doors-both apparently
be more concerned about the dis
trcss of a stranger whom they have
not seen than they are about the
suffering Of a neighbor whom they
know?
I Are warm hearted, helpfully in
clincd people more distressed by
suffering thousand miles, fifty
miles, away than they are by suffer-
L ing around the corner? could not
seem to get an answer to this query
until ! turned it on myself. Is it
true Of me? Am l more distressed,
am l more strongly appealed to, by
remote suffering?
Well, it's unsclfsh and good for
us to think Of others. Yes. but that
poor devil right around the corner!
Oh, he might not like it! He may
be proud, and, besides, he does not
seem so badly off. At any rate, he
got himself where he is, and he will
be stronger and have more self re.
spcct to dig his own way out.
True enough! And that other
poor devil fifty miles away?
Oh, that's Internationally pa
thctic case!
What makes it so different?-Er.

Common Tater..

One morning a popular young
minister was presenting his view
upon an important subject under
discussion and insisting that he
held certain things to be true, the
commentators Notwithstanding. He
contended, 81 hold this to be true
even though the commentators dis
agree with me, and again I say even
though the commentators disagree
with me- At this point an old
lady was seen to leave the church.
On his way home from the service
the minister was met by this old
lady bearing a basket. She stop
ped and handed it to him, saying,
''Dcar brother, l heered you say
the common taters disagree with
you, so I've brought you a basket of

Luxury.
Luxury.
Though luxury is something

eOAOTys
Though luxury is something
which only fools 60 in for, the in
cidental crumbs thereof are what
feed the multitude. It is proof that
Providence doesn't wish the multi
tude to 60 hungry when fools with
a knack for making money keep on
being born. If all men were wise
and luxury therefore a thing un-
known we might still be fed after a
fashion, but the sum total Of happi-
ness would be less. Nobody would
be happier, except those few who
have been permitted by trial to dis
cover what poor thing luxury is,
while the rest of us, having nobody
to envy, would be miserable. =

"Thcre is much that is wonder

giants in size. One species, COM

grows to the length Of thirty or
forty feet, developing in the shape
of a long cord about the size of a

the water. This is nothing, how

 The Redewill Music Company is one Arizona's leading business houses that knows and realizes the value of ad- vertising Its present word contest now being published in every im- portant paper in the Territory is the best advertising it has ever had The first issue of the contest ad. How many words can you make out pf the name. Redewill?" came out m The Republican week ago Sunday and replies from all over the Terri tory came in even before any other newspaper secured it's copy.
 In speaking of the present contest the other day MT. Rcdewill said: our experience in business makes 1t clear that d business house cannot be- come too well known We have been in Phoenix over twenty-eight years but the addition of new population continuously makes it absolutely nee cssary to start something in order to let people know you are alive Our belief in this k proved by the fact that up-to-date factories no longer spend their advertising appro- priations for short sighted adNertis- ing. Results are obtained only by getting right in the homie. by the fireside Cor refegriator we Arizonians might say) and the purchasing mi- crobe is planted strongest right there. Several of our leading factories have cut out direct advertising to great extent. except for the usual harping of their name. and the money is given their direct distributors. to sell the goods.

SAYS COWBOY
 SHOT AT HIM
Sayie. Was Hunting Cattle When Cowboy Started Little Target
 Practice on Him.

Willard Sayles cowboy, came to town yesterday with the story that he had been shot at four times while hunt ing cattle along skunk creek. near where the Arizona canal empties into that stream. There have been several brushes in this neighborhood between inc cowmen and the sheepmen, the lat ter having been driven out aZ times. SayIes is of the opinion that the man who shot at him was d cowboy, as he wore high-heeled boots.
 Sayles had just prepared his bed for the night and smothered his camp ire. when the cowboy approached and stood looking at him Sayles asked him what he wanted The reply was, "l don't want nothin'"
 The cowboy walked away almost out of range and then began shooting. SayIes lodged behind palo verde tree. The cowboy was armed with a rifle. while Sayles had no weapon. After folr or five shots Sayles says it got too hot for him. so he got on his horse and rode away. He was employed on the McCune and Murphy range and imme- dately sent in his resignation. The shooting occurred last Wednesday, l SavIes rode to Peoria and then to Phoenix. where he got another job that doesn't involve target practice in It.

BOOKING THE BIG
 LEAGUERS
M'Cann Says He Will Have the Regulars
 or None at All.

Manager McCann of the local team has booked the following exhibition games for his Bridgeport club:
 April 16-Utica New York State league at Newfield.
 April 17-Utica New York State league at New6eld.
 April 19-Bridgeport at Springfield games (Patriot's Day.)
 June 12-Chicago Nationals at Steeplechase.
 tionals at Steeplechase.
 There are twenty-two Sundays dur ing the coming season for all of which games will be booked by Man ager McCann. At least half of these dates will be filled by big league teams. Many of the league managers have written to the local magnate for games, giving dates, but number of them have not as yet been accepted. McCann has replied to all, but has mentioned that he will not stand for any monkey business, that he wants the regular team when the club ap- pears here. When Owner Murphy of the Cubs wrote to this city for a game, McCann wrote back as he did to the other managers. Murphy in answering the letter replied that he was aware that the big league clubs were. killing baseball in the smaller towns by not sending in their regu- the matter up with Manager Chance and insists that the Cub line up on June 12th will be as good a team as possible. Manager McCann is un- decided what Cincinnati date he will use.

Railroad Contracts.
Special from United Press.)

Washington, March 15.-As a coun ter move to the aggressiveness of Russia and Japan in Manchuria, it is probable that tho United States will enter the Oriental field in active com petition with other nations in securing railroad contracts and otherwise ad- vancing commercial interests of the country.
 Until now the United States has taken no hand in the scramble for con sessions. American capital has built sbut an infinitesinal part of the rail- roads in China. The State Depart ment, relying on the assurances of the powers, particularly of Japan and Russia. has been content to have only a general interest in the empire be- Ieving that the adopted principles of tegrity'' would guarantee to keep open the channels of American trade. In the past this has been enormous.
 But with the new turn of events in the diplomacy of the far east this trade is the verge of being demor- alized and the "open door, is no long CT vital thing.
 It. is quite evident that Japan and Russia have selected Manchuria their own if not territorial1y at least comm erciaEly, and, having control of the way of the trade of the other na- tionss particularly of the United States. It is becoming generally evident that the United States, to retain it's trade with China, must take more energetic measures than merely to secure from the powers reiteration of the ap- prevail of the principle of equal oppor-

P. Morgan, Jr.
 James Stillman is the leading fig ure in the National City Bank, which is generally regarded as a Rocke- fel1er institution. Both MT. Morgan, Sr., and MT. Stillman are now abroad and negotiations are said to be under way between them for merger. The rurnor could not be confirmed, all though it is admitted that such ne- gutiations were begun some time ago, and that it would be within the pow CT of Morgan and Stillman to effect a merger if they wished it. The banks are capitalized at $25, 5,000,000 each and have the largest volume of out-of-town accounts held in the city. National City Bank shares have long been selling between $405 and S415.

AGGRESSIVE STAND TAKEN BY THE UNITED STATES FOR
 TRADE IN ORIENTAL FIELD
State Department Longer Takes Any Stock Open Door Policy in Manchuria But Has Decided to Enter into Active Competition With Other Nations in Securing Railroad Contracts

tunity This is the idea of both Pres ident Taft and Secretary Knox and is in accordance with the new commercial policy of the State Department. It is only a question whether the ner- chants and citizens of America are sufficiently awake to the true situa- tion to Justify more aggressive mea- SureS.
 From the viewpoint of many diplo- choice either of insisting, possibly by resorting to war. that Japan observe the principle of equal opportunity or of peaceably forcing a way through the Japanese commercial barriers by securing an interest in railroads in Manchuria and China and otherwise keeping open the channels of ATneri- any rate that the con edence in Jap ans and Russia's promises of keeping the door open have been dissipated.
 Secretary Knox has by no means abandoned the project of building a railroad from Cchinchow to Tsitsihar and A1gun. Despite Russia's objec- tions, which are based on a dead let more recent date, steps will be taken at the proper time to bring the pro- :ect to completion. This would give the United States open way into Manchuria and it is believed would have much Influence in bringing Jap an and Russia to less haughty frame of mind regarding Mapchurian affairs.
 The Hukuang railroad loan, ar engagements for which are now pend ing, is also but the first step in what will probably be an aggressive cam paign on the part of the United States for share of the trade following the awakening of the great empire.
