Sleepy, Grouchy Tucson.

Some of the business men of Tucson are trying to operate boycott against the advertising columns of the Tucson Citizen because that pa per prints the advertisements of de- partment stores of some of the big cities.
 This attitude of the Tucson mer- chants is proof that Tucson, notwith- standing its pretensions as a modern city. is, after all. only a primitive country town, guided by backwoods ideas
 There could be no better evidence of the radical difference between the business methods which characterize Phoenix and Tucson than is afforded by this Tucson boycott.
 The merchants of Phoenix do not try to maintain the high prices of mining camp days. On the contrary, they recognize that they are doing business in an age Of keen compe- tition, and that for their profits they must look to large volume of busi- ness on a small margin from numer- ous customers rather than an extor- tionately profitable business from a few customers. The Phoenix mer- chants are ready to compete with anybody. from anywhere, in supplying the wants of the people of Arizona If. for instance, they see in The Re- publican the advertisements of Los Angeles houses, they merely smile and pay more attention to their own ad- vertising. They are not afraid of Los Angeles competition. They welcome every opportunity to prove that it pays our people to trade at home.
 The trouble with the Tucson mer- chants is. that they are a mossback set of business men who have yet to learn the value of advertising in building up and sustaining business While refusing to do any advertising of consequence themselves. they ob- ject to the appearance of foreign advertising in their home papers Doubtless they would be shocked speeches. to learn that there are stores in Phoenix which expend more than a thousand dollars each in a single month for newspaper adver- Using; and it would be difficult for them to comprehend that this ex- penditure brings such a volume o1 trade to the advertisers that the ex- pense, properly apportioned to the vast quantity of goods sold. is a nominal expense. and that the money expended for advertising is the most profitable investment that the live merchant can make.

An Occupation in Danger.

The state of Washington now has equal suffrage. and women are eligible for jury duty. An important case was tried at Olympia the other day be- fore a jury of women. and at the close of the trial the presiding judge declared that this particular jury twas far superior in every way to any jury of men that ever sat in his court"
 The trial in which women proved themselves superior-in the estima- tion of the judge-to the ordinary run of men jurors. was of a suit for damages brought by a milkman against a firm of street contractors. The milkman claimed that blast set off by the contractors caused his team to run away and do-damage to the extent of ten dollars and five cents. The ladies sat in the jury box without removing their hats. and after listening carefully to the testi- mOny and the argument of counsel, they retired and consulted for an hour. at the end of which they re-

THE STRONGEST INSTINCT

When the Creator determined that man should work he inflicted no pun ishment, but rather gave to him the greatest boon a loving father could give to a child. To the right thinking person there is no punishment in work. because work itself is the salvation of the mind, the soul and the body.
 The creative instinct is the strongest instinct in man. He must be employed. Hands and brain must be engaged in some way If he has no work he turns to pleasure and when pleasure begins to pail he turns to pleasures more spectacular and so he goes on from one state of dissatisfaction to another until his relish for real enjoyment is gone
 Work is not mans punishment It is his reward and his strength; his glory and his pleasure says George Sand, and most people will agree with that statement of fact well put.
 Work is the glory of the human race and the higher the type of the indi- vidual the more sacred becomes obIi- gation to work at something worthy and worth while. Such a person finds strength and courage in his work and would scorn to be idle.
 The man who tolls honestly, who puts himself into his task, who realizes his obligated to do his best finds labor not only wearing an agreeable face, but a lovely one. His work-his labor represents his interest in the world, his right to be reckoned among the real-men of the world. and he knows

as we'll as any one else that Smiles assertion that "all that is great in man comes through work, and civilization is it's product" is true Just the mo- ment a nation becomes so comfortable that idleness predominates just that moment decay begins to set in. Just the moment the individual becomes so comfortably fixed that idleness charac- terizes his life just that moment he commences to deteriorate, and soon he becomes useless.
 Men who have reached affluence through work, who have carved their own way through life rarely succumb to idleness when they have reached their original goal. They may no longer toll at the same line of work, but if one were to look closely into their lives he would find that some other form of employment occupied their time.
 Thus it is that the man. of millions looks around for some public benefac- tion upon which he may eXpend his money.s But he does more than that He spnds his thought and his energies in its behalf He may employ others to help him in his project, but behind il all he is the moving spirit. he is the worker. the brains and the projector

 The man working in a shop turning out something profitable for humanity and getting his scanty pay at so mucf per hour. is far happier and far more useful citizen. and particularly if h' has come to realize the glory and tn, strength of his method of life.

A Grave Mistake.

The city council has decided to abandon the system of irrigation now employed and always employed in the past for the needs of the thirteen quarter sections of land embraced within the city limits. Instead of the system of using water from the irri- gation system of the Salt River val ley, the council proposes to resort to a system of furnishing water from the city pumping plant.
 In our judgment the proposed change, if carried into effect, will prove to be a deplorable mistake.
 The only valid argument in favor of the abandonment of the present system is that it is expensive to maintain the canal laterals which supply the thousands of city lots with water The additional argument in favor of the scheme is that the later als generally are "unsightly'' and that the appearance of the city will be i'm proved by their elimination. But this is not a sound argument for the change The ditches can be made much more slightly by requiring property owners to remove accumu- lated ridges from their property front age. and by diligence in keeping the ditches clean. As to the cost of main taining the laterals. we believe it is easily demonstrable that this expense is far less than would be the cost of pumping the additional quantity of water that will be required.
 In any event, however. the matter of cost is one of secondary considera- tion.
 The one thing of importance above all others in this consideration is the perpetuation of the thousands of trees which now beautify the city
 The trees of Phoenix form one of the chief attractions of the town. They represent years of caretaking by hundreds of property owners.
 A large proportion of these trees will inevitably die. if left to be sup piled with water from the city pump ing plant
 Hundreds of lots. owned by nOn- residents, are bordered by beautiful trees. Who will take the trouble to feed water to these trees from a hose?
 And as to the resident owners, have any of the advocates of the new scheme even attempted to compute the time and expense necessary to keep the trees alive and growing? :? Has anybody attempted even approxi- mately to compute the hundreds of tons of water which must go into keeping them in thrifty condition dur ing our dry summers by supplying water to them from the city water pipes through hose at an expense equal to the present cost of water for irrigation is, we believe, to talk non- sense.
 Moreover. granting that it would be practicable to maintain the trees by a hose system provided enough men were employed for the work, who be- lieves that the work would be ade- quately done2 Here and there there would be some surface service to trees by careful property owners, but by and large the trees would suffer In summer. for instance, when hum dreds of property owners are away and their houses are locked up, who would undertake to keep their trees alive by daily applications of the hose?

 Following the announcement contained in yesterdays Demo crat that the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad Company has decided to erect passenger station in Prescott in keeping with the importance off the city, General Superintendent M, M.

 o. H. Helbig left yesterday for Mineral Wells, Texas, where he will enjoy a well earned rest. Mr. Helbig's effort in making the trip of the Little Rock Board of Trade a pleasure and success caused that distinguished body to elect him life member of their organization, an honor they seldom confer on any one.
 Saturday was varied and vast in it's diversions, and our limited space will not permit us to give a detailed account of everything that happened. But Prescott and Highland and MurfreeSbOrO were permanently fixed upon the map and are well and favorably known by vast number of the very men of the state and country who are in d position to give an ac- count to the world. The results of such advei Using ceases only with the end of time. '''.....
 On the return trip from Hi. h. land Saturdays ,a business netting of the Little Rock Board ofTrade was held, and Mr. Geo. Russ Brown, secretary of the Board. was instructed to write up suit able resolutions of thanks to the people who so generously enter tained them on their trip, and to make special mention of 0 H. Helbig and Dan Pittman. Mr.. Helbig was elected a life member and the proceedings will be printed in the News as soon as i MT, Brown can prepare and mail them tous. a..
 Special mention of Satul day $ trip to the diamond field should be made of three people, who were most energetic in seeing that every one had a good time. We speak of Bert Johnson. of Highland, who couldn't do enough for the crowd; of Harry Hot)n, of Mnrfreesboro, who headed the delegation Of that en- terprising place in entertaining their guests, and of John c. i Peay, in charge of the diamond fields, who was untiring in his eff orts to assist the gang in finding a few Sparklers. These men are princes in strictly American ! terms.
 T. T. Krill, representing W. R. Lighton's magazine, Back to the land,' has been spending today in Prescott, and we hope has done much good himself and his periodical. MT. Krill, like Mir Llghton, believes in Arkansas dirt, and has reason for the faith that's in him. All that this state needs IS more Lighton's and more Krill's and more people who know the value of the land of Arkansas. These are new people, but their knowledge is an inspi ration to farmers who have lived here always. Give them your moral as we'll as your financial support.
