LET ARIZONA SET
 TILE THE QUESTION

A bill has been introduced into and passed by the United States senate which forbids the sale of any kind of intoxicating liquors, beer, ale, bitters, etc within 25 miles of an Indian reservation or settlement in the United States. After this law, known as the Dillingha m Owens bill, passed the senate it went to the lower house of congress where it was referred to the com mittee on Indian affairs and 1t was reported from that committee fa- vora bly,, according to reports com ing from Washington. The enac- tion of this law would close the sa- looms in many Arizona cities, in-. cluding Globe, Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson and others of less import ance. There is a provision in the bill which would allow the interior department to grant a permit for the sale of liquor in the prohibited territory.
 Of course this proposed law comes from the prohibitionists of the coun- try, says the Bisbee Review. The plea behind it is the prohibition of the Indians from the liquor habit, but the main purpose is to close all the saloons within 25 miles of an Indian reservation, whether they sell whisky to Indians or not. We have laws prohibiting the introduc ton or sale of liquor on Indian res ervations, and also forbidding the sale of liquor to Indians off the reservation, and to our mind this protection is ample for the welfare of the noble redskin.
 The people of Arizona are per- fectly able to decide the question of prohibition for themselves. It is the right and duty of congress to control and protect the Indians on reservations, but this law which will effect some of the largest cities of the territory, is species of pater- nal legislation which ought to be resented and protested against.
 Prohibition and the closing of all saloons might be a good thing, but there are many people who do not take any stock in that or any other kind of sumptuary laws.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
 FIGHT PARCELS POST

What IS the answer? There isn't any one answer; but the parcels
 post of several answers. Every body knows now the old story. When John Wanamaker was postmaster general. some asked him why we don't have a parcels post like every other civilized country? He said there are four reasons: The first is the Wells Fargo Express company; the second is the American Express company; the third is the Adams Express company; the fourth is the United States Express company. Every once in while our consuls in Enrope write to our government telling how the parcels post works in Europs. In Senator Platt's day (Platt was the president of the U. $. Express company he used to have such reports withdrawn from the public. Here is a recent one from H. s. Culver, United States consul at Cork, Ireland. The re- port was printed in the Rural New Yorker"
 Farmers, merchants and manu- lecturers patronize very extensively these means of communication be- tween the markets and the isolated individual customer. The rates by parcels post are 6 cents for one pound or less, s cents for one to two pounds, and 2 cents additional for each pound up to 1.-the weight limit of parcels. The length of par eel allowed is 8 feet 6 inches. and the greatest length and girth con- bined is 6 feet. For example, a parcel measuring 8 feet 6 inches in ] it's longest dimension may measure 2 feet 6 inches in girth Eggs, fish, meat, vegetables, glass, crockery, liquids, butter. cheese, etc.. are transported by parcels post"
 If we had the parcels post in this country, the farmer could ship one or five or ten pounds of butter. or few dozen eggs, or a peck of pota- toes, or basket of apples, to his individual customer in the city, and avoid the middleman. Fish ermen in the north of Scotia nd send | fresh fish to London market this way. Also, if we had the parcels post in this country the express companies would quickly reduce their rates, and stop paying 300 per cent dividends.-Collier.

Over in Calexico, near Yuma, they do things in a way different from a whole lot of towns we know of, and the way is good, too. The Chronicle, their daily, has been seen, one half page display secured and big lot of extra copies of each issue purchased for free distribution in Los Angeles.

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By E. Z. MARK.

We often hear the remark that Ivory kills more than work" and it is followed up by the admoni- tion, Don't worry" It was easy in the good old days gone by to live without worry. Those were the days when man met man 8 being worthy of respect and fair treat ment-the days when graft, deceit and "schenanigan" had not yet en tered the arena of life.
 Today is the day when hundred contending forces labor against one. and keen competition, stimulated by earnest desire to get rich quick, has sent many small fry to the wall. Even the man with large capital is not exempt from these classes of failure. Deals that in- volve tens of thousands of dollars cause the man of means many a restless night, when once the sum of money is launched on some un- certainty, or even what seems a safe proposition.
 Why all this? Simply because the world is rife with rascality and trickery. The spirit of envy, also, climbs into the action with a vim.
 By way of example: John Smith is merchant making good money. He is in a position to take life easy, while his neighbor, James Brown, is a poor man laboring for wages by the day. There comes a chance for him to crawl out of the rut. Smith knows it and tries to conceal it from Brown and takes measures to turn the proposition in favor of some friend already we'll healed.
 Take two laboring men, working side by side in the tolls of industry. Let one see chance to go into busi- ness for himself; then see how quick the other fellow commences to beat tattoo on his companions head with his little hammer.
 This disrespectful. low and con- temptible spirit of jealousy, to- gether with the unmitigated skull duggery and the tremendous cost of living and great necessity of large sums of money required to start a young man or woman on his or her feet, is enough to drive almost any one, who thinks, into fit of worry. If each man would attend to his own business and deal honestly with his fellow man, and be con- tent enough with his own prosper ity to let others succeed, then what different world we'd have.
 How wonderful would be the transformation! Life again would be worth while, and there would be fewer suicides and less inmates in poor houses and insane asylums.
