MOST RADICAL CONSTITUTION.

The Chicago Record-Herald thus comments OF Arizona's proposed con stitution:
 We have referred to the signifi- cant and advanced features of the proposed constitution of New Mexico, which is regarded as rather moderate on the whole Now Arizona comes to the front with the completed work of its radical constitutional convention. That work certainly bears the i'm press of modernism in politics and social thought Several of the dele gates refused to sign the constitution and it may encounter snags in con g-es sand at the White House. It has all the innovations that cth- CT recent constitutions embody. plus some It is the most advanced state charter yet constructed in America. Not all of the radical features are doubtful There is. for example. a thorougoing provision for non-partisan election of the iudiciary-an excellent reform. There is strong anti-lob- 'bying clause. an excellent employers liability clause, one establishing a juvenile court and the other for ad visory senatorial primary.
 What conservatives and moderates object to as revolutionary are these things:
 The initiative.
 The recall of all elective officers, including judges.
 The enactment Of the constitution by bare majority vote upon the in 'itiative of only fifteen percent. of the voters.
 Wide powers for the commission on corporations and the rigid regulations ostens.bly inserted to prevent stock watering and wildcatdng.
 Much depends on the particulars and details of the clauses. Congress and the president will scrutinize the novel features and judge them, not by the intention Of the convention, but by their probable results and ef- fleets. All that is clear nov Is that the Arizona convention deliberately rejected conservative advice and put in the proposed charter the 'strang. est blanks of the latest irsursent and progressive platforms of Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon and other states. New Mexico made concessions to in surgency: Arizona met it three fourths of the way, embraced it ca geriy and absorbed literally everything it had to offer. Arizona wishes 10 eyertake Oregon in one stride"

Would it not be better to secure statehood unde"' the present oppor- tnnity and afterwards provide for the progressive measures which are balk- ing our constitution in Washington Once Arizona is admitted as a state the people will have the power to add anything desirable to their con stitution, but it is to be hoped that nothing will ever be permitted in that document which will affect the independence or superiority of our courts.

MISTAKEN IDEAS.

There is one mistaken idea con corning the action to be taken on
 Arizonas constitution after it has
 been ratified by the people and reaches Washington. It Is the belief by many that congress will have a joint responsibility with President Taft in passing on the merits or Idemerits of our organic law Such lis not the case. The constitution
 after ratification in Arizona, will be sent to the president and be will pass cr :. tcsc-c congress has anything to do with it If President Taft dis approves it that ends statehood, con. stitution and the recall so far as the present enabling act is con. cened. If President Taft approves the constitution then he sends it to congress in accordance with the en, abling act which requires that Il shall be APPROVED by both the president and congress. If congress approves the constitution or fails to disapprove it during the NEXT con gress then Arizona will become a state. In case of the disapproval of the consultation by the president it
 would be the province of congress

President Taft deprecatss the nationwide hostility that sprung into organization against measures like the owen bill In his message he regretted assertions that such proceedings were instituted in the interest of a particular schce, ,! medicine He declared:
 1t seems to me that this ss- sumption is wholly unwarranted. and those responsible for the
 government can be trusted to secure in the personnel of the
 bureau the appointment of rep resentatives of all recognized
 schools of medicine. and in the management of the bureau entire freedom from narrow preiudices in this regard
 Unhappsiy, that trust cannot be reposed in the government The people have learned by experience that representatives Of all recognized schools Of medicine do not receive

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ARIZONA.
Douglas lnternationaD


 The coming of nearly four hundred teachers to Douglas this week to at tend the annual meeting of the Ar zona Teachers association, makes this an occasion for saying something regarding the public schools of the territory. According to the recent annual report of Governor Sloan there were 3s.7eI school children in cluded in the census of the l909-10 scholastic year, nearly one fifth Of the total population.
 . Besides what are known as the common schools Arizona has provid. ed the magnificent university of Tue son, efficient normal schools at both Tempe and Flagstaff and the indus trial reform school at Benson. For the present year the student enroll ment at the university was 113, while at the Tempe normal the enrolment was 40e and at Flagstaff the total was 6s.
 In the territory there are 332 school districts md during the pres ent year 9 new buildings were erected: there are 14 high schools districted in the several counties provided by special law and main tained by special tax levy. There are 22S grammar schools and sos pri mary schools. Most of the schools have library and in all these Ii. braries are 3s.596 books
 There are 351 teachers employed in the public schools of the territory, I42 men and 709 women teachers, with average salaries of s1071s for males and sso.95 for females per month.
 The total school fund coming to the territorial treasury from every source this year was $1,4s7, ,53s.s .s6. with total expenditure of sf,00o,- 628,37. leaving a balance in the treasury on June 30, 1910. of sfos.- s07.ss.
 The school property of the terri. toy, including lots. buildings and furniture is valued at sI.612.225.87; value of libraries. s27 7,saI5s: value of apartus, s4s,ss6
 The public schools have been the special pride of Arizona since the first teacher appeared in the terri tory. With the progress of the ter ritouy our schools have kept pace. Every city has its magnificent build ings and every small settlement hay ing as many as dozen children of school age has its district school house There is not a state in the Union which pays higher salaries to teachers than does Arizona, and be cause of this hberality the bes. teachers from every part Of the country are glad to take positions in our schools

HELPED BY A HAMMER.
A Little Business Incident to Which
Hangs a Moral.

Hangs a Moral.
Two blocks apart Ia q certain street
are two stationery stores. The owner
of one has abundant capital. has
wide. roomy place with q large stock
Of goods well displayed. The store Of
the other man is mere hole in the
wall in dlngy building. yet this deal
er is getting most Of the business.
The following incident may explain
it. A woman who had just moved to
the vicinity stopped in the larger store
one evening to buy some picture nails,
but was told that they were not sold
there.
Where can | buy themT, she asked
politely.
Il don't know" said the proprietor.
The woman went to the smaller store.
This man bad no picture nails either.
Il have IA box Of old nails that use
myself" be explained Perhaps some
Of them might do"
The woman gratefully accepted his
offer and found some nails that an
swered her purpose She remembered
then that she had no hammer. Il can
lend you one" said the shopkeeper. IF
you will bring IT back In the morning"
Ever since that time that woman has
walked the extra blocks to patronize
the obliging merchant. She has told
her friends Of the incident and in1u-
enced them to become customers.
The lesson taught by this Insignifi-
cant incident is one that is only too
often neglected. 1t pays a small
tradesman to be obllging-it pays all
of us. Small favors bring large re-
turns.-Chicago Tribune.
